THOMAS O'NEILL. Toodyay, Dee. 21, 1861.

(Advertisement.)

To the Editor of the " Perth Qazette." 8IB,~-I am very reluctantly compelled

by a feeling of self-defence, to solicit the favour of the publication in your columns of the following particulars con- nected with a most serious and unfounded charee made against me by Thomas McKnoe, the rumour of which, at the present time, may be productive of very great mischief to me, if uncontradioted. It is true the case has beeu summunly dismissed by the Magistrate^ without fchd slightest suspicion attaching to me, but the public generally canuot be aware of the facts and circumstances which clearly establish my innocence, nnd left the motives and veracity of my accuses* open to very grave suspiciou.

I would not obtrude myself up^n the notice of your renders, but that it iq cqni

mon to conclude, as a general rule, that there must be some foundation for the accusation brought against the accused. To disabuse the public mind, then of any such impression in this instance, and to correcl extravagant and garbled reports of the matter, I venture to publish the fol-

lowing : -

On Friday last, I was summoned tp answer a complaint made by Thomas McKnoe for having illegal possession, and branding with my brand, a foal be- longing to him. William McKnoe and W. H. King were produced as witnesses in, support of the charge. Thomas McKnoe swore he believed that the foal was the produce of an unbranded mare, five years old, running in the bush, and which he had purchased from his brother, William McKnoe. W. H. King swore disthctiy to the foal ; he was positive it was the one he had seen running by the Bide of the mare described by Thos. McKnoe in Aug, i960, and since' William McKnoe also Bwore that he believed the foal to be

his brothers property, and the produce of the mare he had sold him. Now, it was satisfactorily shown upon oath by a num- ber of witnesses, that the foaLso sworn to by Thoa. McKnoe, and his witnesses as his property, and the. produce of an un- branded mare in the bush, was really the produce of a mare which bad been sold at public auction by the Police in July 1860, and which I subsequently purchaced from the individual who had bought it nt the Sale. The foal was born in the paddock adjoining my house in September,'. I960, and was never at large in the bush until about 14 days ago ; how then could King have possibly seen it running in the bush in .August when at that time it was actually unVorn P It was also shown that this very foal accompanied my mare to Mr Sinclair's, when sont there last season to the horse; and as if in confirmation of the testimony adduced, on the mare being brought to the Court, the foal, a1 though unable to see her, as soon as it heard the sound of the bell (which had been attached to her ever Bince I bought her) commenced neighing and exhibiting other ' signs of recognition; thus establishing beyond a doubt, and with a force superior to any other evidence, the identity' ol' the foal as the produce of my mare, and consequently

my property.

There is a singular circumstance indi- rectly connected with th« case which de- serves, to be mentioned. Thomas McKnoe claims as the pruduce of this unbounded mare of his, a two year old entire, lately got in from the bush and advertised by W. Ohitty, and as my foal, which lie has sworn is also the prouuce of this mare, is sixteen months old, ho would make it ap- pear that the mare foale about evtry six

?months!

I do not wish it to be thought that,,in makiug this statement, I have auy desire to accuse anyone pf conspiracy or false- hood» I should be sorry to do sp before a judicial investigation has establianed the fact. My ouly object is to place the truth before the public, with a view to protect myself from the mischievous influence of idle rumour or gossiping report.

I am, air,

Your obedient servant,

James evusbeti.

P.S.-Possibly the subjucfc-matter of this letter may be of such á nature as, in your judgment, to unfit it for publication wader the head of .' Original Corres ponaWre," in such case, may I beg you will be\kind enough to insort it as au advertitieVent.^ogether with this post
