found their final resting-place, and a slight subscription would place a suitable monument to record their fate; in which could be included the names of all the officers and men who fell in the war, as these principally belonged to tha 58th and 99th Raiments. And as the former corps had about 890 men discharged during the course of their service here for the purpose of becoming settlers in this province, these from .marriages and inter-marriages have multiplied and iLcreased, so that from a rough estimate they now form from fifteen to twenty per cent, of the population of the province. Now lam confident that if Colonel Balneavis, himself an officer of the 58th Eegi tnent, and who was present, and so narrowly escaped Capt. Grant's fate at Ohaiawae, would ■with that zeal and assiduity for which he is remarkable —as witness his placing the colors of his old corps over the judge's chair in the Supreme Court House (and it is with pride I must say that 1 do not recollect of a single 1 .one of his regiment, out of the 800 discharged, j-^jwing the colors from the prisoner's dock) — take the case in hand, a sufficient subscription for this object would soon be raised.

Indeed, Mr Editor, I do not sea why the Provincial Government should not interest itself in the matter. It would come most gracefully from them to place a small sum on the estimates for the purpose, or I should suggest that Mr Shanaghan, the member for Newton (the son of a 58t.1i sergeant who fought in the action) should move it in the next Council.

Whilst on this subject I would wish to remark that many years ago several gentle men (civil and military) gave amateur theatri-

cal performances to raise a fund for the erection of a monument to the fallen in war. It was decided that this should be placed in the Government lawn. The Governor's assent was obtained, the design was sent to England, the money, some £45, was placed in the Union Bank, and nothing since has ever been done. Mr David Burns, who was one of the principal performers—indeed the main pro moter of the fund—may be able to inform the public of the result of inquiries ho was making some years ago of what has become of this money. And now, Mr Editor, I reiterate the question, What has become of the money ? Ex-Geenadiee, sSth Regiment.

were on the Company's books in my name when ho bought. " He also said they were all right whon Williams bought of him, and that ho lost them through his own neglect; and that it was a shaina he should have sued me. As fiiv as I can see (except for the trul.h of the thing) it matters but little which of the two was the actual purchaser from me— ono of them certainly was, and whichever Bweavs himself to be the purchaser lot his property through sheer neglect ; but I solemnly assert. I know no purchaser but Garlick. The fii-stl heard of Williams in con nection with the shares in dispute was fit leaat eleven days after I had sold; The courtesy of J. T. G-. is very great; he has opened his books for public inspection that all may learn the truth. If his books are no more truthful than himself they ought to be for ever closed. Garliek says Williams is the victim ; if he really be, he is one of Garlick's making, and I am the victim of both—directly of one, and indirectly of the other. Garlick and 'Williams both should put the matter honesty to them selves, and ask each one himself if lie had given good value for monoy, ru d the party to whom he sold his property had list it through folly or neglect, would either c f thorn consider himself hardly done by if sued and made to refund ? I verily think ho would, and par ticularly if it placed him in the position it has placed me; but the worst bankrupt appears to be a dainty morsel in that mean man's mouth ; it does not reflect much credit upon him as I am so made by himself and brother broker. Another of J.T.G's. fabrications is that I have taken the shares off the book since tbe verdict. I believe I am called upon to refund money for eight shares. He (nor Williams) surely does not want nine. The one share standing fo my name I sold to get a trifle to assist me out of the difficulty they have plunged me into. If I had the whole amount ten times told it would not compen sate me for the loss, trouble, and annoyance 1 have sustained through them—l am, &c, A Victim (W. J. Messenger.)

[ATSVEBTISEMENT. ] WILLIAMS V. MESSENGER. To the Editor of the Evenikg Stab. SIR, —This action has caused great comment in public circles, and nineteen out of every twenty persons tell me they cannot understand it, the newspaper reports being so mystified. I think, too, it would puzzle a, Philadelphia lawyer io understand it. It puzzles mo no less to understan I the cause of Williams taking the first foolish step (sueing me), -when he well knew I never had any business tranuacbions with him. For that reason, and no other, did I refuse to give him a deed as having sold him my property. I never did acknowledge Williams in the matter; I could not. But had Garlick come forward like a man, and told me he had neglected putting his name on the Company's books for a few days, and that in the meantime some one else had taken the shares off, I could have seen at once how I ought to act, and would have set to work and assisted him to get Ilia property. But a third party being forced upon me, and Garlick never so much as speaking one word to me on the matter, made it appear in my eyes very much like a trap, and particularly as both men were sharebrokers. I had no confidence in them, and preferred being dragged to Court to doing that which I thought wrong. I acted according to the dictates of my own conscience ; for, how could I sell to one man in September and to another in October the same property without knowing I was doing wrong ? And, even had I given Williams a transfer, I cannot see how long ho could have been benefited, because a matter like this cannot be smothered in the dark—it must all be brought to the light; and if put on my oath by the company I should most assuredly swear I sold to Garlick. Then what right had Williams to sue me ? It is rery likely he bought these shares of Garlick, and they both, for the saving of half-a-srown, neglected registering them ; and, finding them selves in a dilemma, thought to take a short cut at me, as Mr. Williams has frequently said he knew he had taken wrong steps, but he did not like to go against a brother broker. —I am, &c, A Victim (W. J. Messenger). ♦ [advebtiseitenl.] WILLIAMS V. MES3ENGER. To the Editor of the Evening Star. Sir, —I believe the newspaper reporters were not in Court when the evidence of Mr. | Richmond and myself was given in the case. If such had been published it would have j been unnecessary noticing the miserable \ attempt of W. J. Messenger to mislead the j public and injure my business reputation. I j shall only notice that portion of Messenger's fabrication referring to myself, and repeat that which I stated upon oath ; —that on tho i evening of the 4th September, 1871, W. J. | Messenger instructed me to sell eight sharc3 j in the Thames Gold Mining Company. I j executed the commission on the sth September, ' 1871 (my first sale that morning) ; reported the sale, and immediately W. J. Messenger came to my office for a cheque. I then told him Mr. Williams was the purchaser. I did not buy them myself, as he insinuates, and my books, which will prove this are, open to the inspection of any person desirous of I ascertaining the truth. The " Victim" is Mr. Williams, and not Messenger. The latter since the verdict, ha 9 drawn the dividends and disposed of the shares then standing to hi 3 name on the Thames Company's books—and which according to his own showing belonged to me, and not to Williams ; but, as the jury have found —was in fact Mr. Williams' share. I cannot under stand how a bankrupt with a conscience can afford to advertise his letter as he doe 3. I think it would be better if he spent the money which that advertisement costs in explaining his conduct in reference to the last transactions.—l am, &c, J. Tonson Gaelick. «, [adyehtisement. ] WILLIAMS V. MESSENGER. To the Editor of tho Evening Star. SIR,— I think it very fortunate for J. T. Garlick that the reporters happened to S>j> out of Court, as he says, at tho tima he g*vo his evidence, or rather when he was oross examined, ar something might have appeared in the newspapers that he could not have felt proud of. He (Garlick) says I had better Bpend money in explaining the matter ; that is just what has been done. J. T. G. is terribly piqued, and frightfully alarmed about his business reputation. JHe should act rightly, then he need not faar what man can do unto him. His conduct now reminds me of tho snail creeping out in tho dark to destroy—instead of corning forward like a man, as I said beforo, and acknowledge his neglect at a time when all could have been easily set right. It was not my bubiness to run after him. I gave him good value for money, and with all his insinuations and mean falsehoods he has not yet dared to say I sold him property I did not at tho time possess. Ah, no! his meaning is not bo •hallow, but ho well remembers telling a member of my family that tho shares

Hugh Ceaig. J. C. MacCormick, Esq. Wyndham Chambers, Auckland, 18th July, 1872. Mr Hugh Craig, Queen street Wharf. Dear sir,—Mr Harris has instructed us to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 30th Juno last, addressed to our Mr MacCormick, and to state in reply that some months ago he agreed to certain terms of settlement, which were arranged for all parties concerned between Messrs Hesketh and Eichmond and ourselves, after much trouble loss of time, and expense, and with the concurrence of yourself and others interested. Mr Harris was willing to carry out in good faith the arrangement then made uutil he was given to understand that Mr J. S. Macfarlane had declined to bo bound by the terms which, wo were informed, ho had previously agreed to. "We take leave to remind you that Mr Harris has on several occasions shown himself anxious to arrive at an amicable settlement of the matters in dispute, and at serious inconvenience and loss to himself has repeatedly re mained in town solely to effect that object. All previous attempts to actain such a settlement have apparently been frustrated by the positions eventually taken up by those whose interests you represent. And after the failure of the last attempt, the terms of which were so carefully considered and settled by the parties' respective solicitors, with the approval of their clients, and which we were led to believe would be finally adopted and carried out, we consider we should not be justified in inducing our client again to incur the expense and loss of time necessary fully to consider your renewed proposals with no better guarantee that they would in the end be carried out than that afforded by our ]?ast experiences in the matter. We have therefore advised Mr.. Harris in accordance with the views we have expressed. We are, dear Sir, yours truly, MacCoemick & MacKeciinie. Queen street Wharf, Auckland, July 19, 1872. Messrs MacCormick & MacKechnie, Wyndham Chambers. Sirs, — After having been put off from day to day for the last few days by your repeated promises to give a reply in writing to my three separate offers to accept a miserable remnant of my father's estate as a settlement in full of the claims of himself and his creditors against the- persons de nominated by the special jury as Mohi and his accomplice, C. A. Harris, jun. 1 have now to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday, which I can fearlessly stigmatize as the most un truthful and evasive it has ever heen my misfortune to be obliged to read and reply to. Tour statement of Harris hav ing been willing to carry out any arrangement in good faith till he was given to understand that Mr Macfarlane had declined to be bound by the terms he had previously agreed to, is evidently written with a view to put a false color upon the actions of Mr Macfarlane, who, since Imy return to Auckland, has been try ing to save to my father and his : family a fraction of their property ; • and has, with that end in view, advanced over £7,000 in law expenses, and left the terms of any arrangement in my own hands ; and it was I who rejected the terms which you were pleased to write were carefully considered ant settled by the parties' respective



MoM v. Craig?. solicitors, bat which terms I looked upon as an insult, and further attempt to plunder. 1 returned from California for the express purpose of trying to arrange a settlement of this most distressing j business, fully believing that you would bo guided in some measure by the views of the special jury who had tried the case of Mohi v. Craig, and that you would have been prepared to repair the intolerable wrong inflicted through your instrumen tality ; but every attempt I have made to arrange and work what is left of the estate has been met by the most determined opposition from Mohi and his accomplices, Harris, and your Mr MacCormick. I cannot refrain from expressing my amazement and regret that any persons professing to be commonly respectable should continue to help forwardsuch unrighteous and vexatious doings as those of Mohi. and his accomplices. Pardon me for adding that a simple refusal to accept any of my offers would have been more straightforward and business-like than your elaborate and untruthful communication. Yours obediently, Hugh Craig. Wyndham Chambers, 22nd July, 1872. Mr. Hugh Craig, Queen street Wharf. Sir, —Your letter of the 19th instant was placed before us this morning. We notice that the blame of abandoning a settled agreement rests with yourself, and not with, Mr. Macfarlane. Your letter requires no further notice at our hands. Your obedient servants, MacCoemick & MacKeciinie.
