Mr. Editor – In your issue of July 11th appears an article in which you say Police TUCKER as a detective, and secures stolen goods. The “house” referred to is occupied by me, and the party who stole the goods was at the time in my employ, but the goods were brought there after Mr. TUCKER’s visit and were not at any time concealed. I did not suspect the goods to have been stolen, and on learning of the suspicion of my house I gave Mr. AYERS permission to search my house and he found the goods, which I thought were the personal property of the man. Please make the correction. — J.M. STILLMAN.
