ARTHUR UTTING AND THE "HERALD."

Arthur Utviso, who has lately been dis charged from his verm of imprisonment for fraudulent bankruptcy, sends v.:. k letter reply ing to the strictures made upon him while in paolby the " Herald." He says the letter was forwarded to the " Herald" and denied insertion, and he trust? ihp-t a spirit of justice will induce us to give pub icity to his defence. The opening sentences, Urn "Uhjs our contcwponirys ideas of fair play, may account for its delicacy in tne matter:—"Si.\—lla\ing obs»ryed how relent lessly you come down upon individuals who through mis-Co Us;-: 0" .Mb.onviEf} .ire in distress with uttw disregnrfl for the merits of the case. I am oonsfcrainod to oxter a few remarks shew ing how yovinsu!!)1 n '"an'scharacter for all time by biasing thepiiV-iic irjiiut.by povsii:tinp;ina one= sided view, and refusing the aggrieved tiavty a fair hearing or a fair report through your journal. As I have now fiiiiTered the penally of the law your prejudice nniy somewhat have abated, and your venom lost its sting." Mr Utting proceeds to enter vary minutely into his business transactions, and at Uiiich greater length than the inexorable limits of our apace enable us to print, and the*' would probably prove interrstint; to the genera! reader. His object is to shew that he desired to ace honestly with all his creditors, but was placed in a dilemma, between there. With rcferecce to the auction, he observes :—" Tho notice was posted on a trco: the notices were on the store and hotel in the district, for two or three days, me ■bailiff himself admitted seeintr them wilfully torn off my store rioor. T can prove I tried to obtain a "licensed aucli.->m-e;\ offering to pay commission. T belfcvo. the goeds realised more the way I sold ther ." Our correspondent, ad dressing th- '• Hera'rt." Ihen proceeds:— I now come to the real grievance and cause I have for complaint against your pnpar, Mr Editor, l cannot find wornVto Cully express the disgnst I felt upon beholdinK these words in your leading article of the 17th January, I think it was after sentence had been passerl upon myself and H. a. X. -•yers: "The cool dishonesty ot Utting in T-tHki'tiir:,' file money." Where was the (lis iionc?ty? For whose benefit did I pocket the monw? Was if not for the creditors? The whol-i of the pi-fMV uoe of the sale were accounted for to the trnst-e". Did not I <omparo notes with their acrent the bailiff us to the, total amount received ? Why was not the trustee called in Court to prove that my statements were incor rect* Id looked much like a fraud, certainly, rcduccuto the extremity of dicing gum for a living while awaiting Mr Justice fillies decision as 10 my certificate, and with the extravagant sun: (if (is to obtain delicacies with during the two months I whs av.-ait.mK trial. The Crown Prosecutor, in opening the _ case, said • "We cwmot in this case prove thcprisono.r has cheated his creditors, or defrauded them lor his own benefit." Mr Ksticc Oi lies said it was not necessary to prove that I had cheated them for my own benefit; the word defraud did not necessarily men to cheat; that if the mry were satisfied that I made an arrangement in tne first place Ihe 01 editors could have realised more;.or that the goods could have been bcttei reraised at Hoidaug«. then the creditors were defrauded in one sense : but if the juij- J^erc satisfied that I spoke truth and acted for the benefit of all, in.d did r.ot w:ltnlly paenflce the estate, then, they must acquitine. I had already denied on oath Laving ever threatened to sacri fice the estate whencxamincd in the Bankruptcy Court. This was the only point they had to obtain a conviction on. and Uieir oath out weighed mine. I may say that.so bare was I left of money after this extensive fraud, that I was unable to obtain means to pay for my defence at the Police Court. Had i been defended there, or even hof ended myself, I believe. I should not have been committed for trial at all Should these few remarks lead you to deal a little more tenderly in the future, where no actual guilt shews itseli (for I must remind you that thejury returned a verdict, on the most meagre suspicion, and utterly without evidence to substantiate their view), lishall be in part paid for what I have suffered mentally and physically. The substance of these remarks I made id public before sentence was passed. I -would refer you to the report in the Stak of what did Justico Gillies say:—"l am quite willing to believe that you have acted In ignorance or the law ; that you had no intent, to violate it. The punishment I am about to inflict is not so much to punish you individually, as to warn others against pursuing a similar course in future. The jury have found you guilty, and I have no option but to pnss the sentence of the law npon you." Of this you (the "Herald") published none. You were consistent to the end, and kept to the line you had chalked out. purely in your own imagination, and published nothing that might palliate or extenuate the offence, but dwelt upon its enormity. -Arthur Utting.
