by those in the junk, but they were erentually overpoweredby the pirates, who took all the cargo out of the vessel and despoliod the passengers, | with which booty they reticed. The junk people, for some reason or other, subseqzionily pursued the pirates with the view of making them gorge thoir plunder, whereupon the latter throw a nu- TO THE EDITOR OF THE "DAILY PRESS." DEAR SIR-At the time I wrote sud publish ber of stink-pots en board the junk, setting fire ed in the Daily Press my letter of the lith Auto her. The smoka blinded the crew and pas gust last, I was under the impression that Mrs. songère, and the fire blazed, op en farnely that Spratt would proceed further in the dispute of the junk was soon enveloped in flames and the sale of her third share in the estate of her was burned to the water's edge, about twenty of lata husband; end warranted by the expremio:9 made use of by her counsel during the hearing those on board falling vistitas to the fes in Coart on the 3rd September last, of the suit while the rest only saved their lives by throwing ue, the Administrators of the Estates as themselves into the water and swimming to for as any question of injustice to Mr. da Silva shore. The outrage has been reported to the was concerned that gentlemens will have in op- portunity of being heard hereafter and bringing Authorities, but the pirates are likely to get off the whole matter before the Court"-I believed spot freo. that it would not be amisa with me to wait for the favourable opportunity to clear my character of the aspersiona cast upon it in Mrs. Sprott's affidavits. ---
Mrs. Spratt na, howaras, adopted a wise ecure not to move to attack the deed for fear
the result would be a complete exposure of her falachoods. Ska has eagerly compromised in matter of accounts and accepted for the balanco due to her the san of $3,500. The outlines of the account, endorsed as recepted by both sides, is enclosed horowith for favour of your public. attes.
Previous to her filing the affidavita against me on the 6th and 8th July respectively, I drazaed her through her solicitor, Mr. H. J. Holmes, on the 25th June last, tendering her the following propositions, vis
1st Assign to her the whole of the loasuhold
property."
2nd
Assign to har subject to all charges a third share in the estate," or,
3rd. She could have an allowance of $60 per month, until the principal dan to her was pati up, such allowance being la consideration of past favours owed to her defunct husband, and not that the principal due now to her could ever produce, in any way'snoh an incoma.
The abbia will now be hatter able to judge upon the parasal of the above statements, who ther Mrs. Spratt's affidavit could he supported in truth.
