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,
