JONES, Ó97, Gsorgs-itrcot North, lit May, 1851,

To the Editor of the Sydney Morning Herald,

SIR,-As you have placed some derogatory observa-

tions, addressed by Mr. Dowling to myself, in large type, in

a conspicuous part of your publication of this morning, I trust

Sou will seethe justico of according a Uko privilege to mo, by

isertlng my reply to those observations in an equally conspicu-

ous part of your publication of to-morrow, and oblige

To J. P. DowLixo, Esa., Police Magistrate, per favotr 'of the

Sin,-Entertaining the high- st respect for the uniform justico

of your decisions since your appointment to the situation you at

present occupy, I cannot, in justice to my own character or to tho

position I have always maintained in society, as an honorable

man, allow the observations which, doubtle««, you considered it

your duty in your magisterial capacity to address to me, to pass

In giving your decision in tho caso " Beal v. Curtayne," you

characterised my conduct as mean and cowardly. Now, Sir, you

will admit that these are haruk terms, not to bo lightly made use

of, unless capable of sustainment. I should, indeed, he very sorry

to apply such grossly insulting and uncalled-for lnngunge to yon,

unless warranted by circumstances ; pardon mc, therefore, if I

appeal from the tribun.il of the Police Offlcc.ovor which you preside,

toan>thcr tribunal, before whom j ou and I must bow with defer-

ence-the tribunal of publia opinion. What ore tho circumstances

which warranted you to apply these extra judicial observations to

mel That the public may bo the better cnablvd to give a just

verdict, It will bo necessary to relato the circumstances which

called them forth. It appears, then, according to what has been

proved at the Police Office, thatobout 11 o'clock on the night of

Tuesday last, the day of election, that I, in company with three

friends of mine, called into the public houso at the corner of Pltt

and Hunter streets, for the purpose of having soma refreshment

an antiquated custom in my country after every popular triumph.

It further appears that as soon as we got into this public housa

that an altercation commenced between a person who was In the

house, when wc ontered and oncof mycompanions, thatln order

to bring my friend to a sense of what ho owed himself,

I said, "Surely you are not going to denian yourself by holding

an argument with a man whom you have described as a brothel

keeper, and whom I myself knew In that capacity years ago " I

then obwrved, I was astonished how such a character would bo

permitted into any respoHablo houso. At the conclusion of this

last observation the landlord, or the individual who represented

that important parsonage, deliberately told me, and every person

in the house at the time, tliit he knew this man described as a

brotiel keeper to be as respectable a man is I was. I retorted by

telling the landlord that he was a liar. Tho landlord then struck

ms across the face over the counter, and immediately retired out

of my reach, when I took up a tumbler und threw It at IiIb head ;

it ml«se.d the object for which it was intended, but broke four

tumblers, and I beliove one small pane of glass in a ease that stood

behind the counter, for which the modelt sum of fifteen shilling*

was demanded. This charge I distinctly refused to pay, upon tho

principio that It was the landlord and not I who gaye the first

insult and committed the first nssiult, and that he consequently

debarred himself the right of seeking payment for the loss which

his own insulting and highly indecorous conduct occasioned.

This, I think, you will find to bo a correct statement of tho wholo

transaction as it occurred and appeared in evidence at the Police

Office, far'which you designate my conduct as mean and cow

adly, and that you wcro sorry you had it not in your power to

inflict a hcivier punishment. I mu«t certainly feel highly

flattered nt thlB extraordinary manifestation on your part of tho

will without the power of administering to my personal comfort,

hut whether such manifestation of embittered fueling-whether

such evident acerbity of feeling, dignifies the judicial bench, is of

course best known to yourself. Now, Sir, I would entreat of you

for a moment, without offering violence to your feelings, to

descend from the dignified position which you now occupy, and to

toko up a position in society with myself. Say for, instance, you are

what I claim to be-a man whose character has never baen sullied

with a dishonourable act. Go Into n public-house, as I have done,

with thro« respectahle tradesmen, your own equals in society ; let

the landlord of that house tell you, in prosene« of your friends

and several other apparently respectable persons, that he knew a

reputed hrothel-kccper to bo as respertable as you-though he

subsequently sworo that ho knew you not at the time he compared

you to this person ; then I ask you, as a maa, would not your

manhood revolt at the comparison.

For resenting this gross and scandalous libel on my character,

you were pleased, ia your Magisterial capacity, to apply the offen-

sive terms, " mean and cowardly," to my conduct; and that you

were sorry you had it not In your power to award a heavier

punishment than the infliction of the damages sought for, with

the alternative of seven days to Darlinghurst-an hotel, I would

remark, I have never put up at, nor expect never shall. In con-

clusion, allow me to assure you that so far from viewing my con-

duct, as you have expressed it, In this transaction as mean and

cowardly, I should, on the contrary, sonslder my conduct as mean

and cowardly had I not resented in the manner I did the wanton

I am, Sir, yours, _e., «to,
