He says he was fined a dollar. and half costs of the court, and that Mrs. Caswell had to pay all the other costs. We hope this ex- planation is satisfactory to all persons concerned. In this connec- tion we might say also that .a lengthy correspondence relating to the dispute has been received ' from Mrs. Caswell, but as the mat- ‘ ter contained 'in it is of no public interest, and would only perpetu- Tate the already strained relations between the two contending par- ties, we refuse to publish it. We are not in the journalistic field to cause ill will amongst neighbors, and unless some public good can, be served we are not going‘ to} publish the petty troubles of all} who feel imaginary wrongs. If real wrongs are to be righted, the court is the prOper place for. ad- iustments. Then they become pub- lic property, and it is quite within the right of the publisher to re- port the results, should he see fit to do so. When neighbors get into trouble they should settle matters amongst themselves.F Failing' in this the court is the next best place. out Of all petty grievances till they become public in the courts.
