 to 6 moaning and the hour from 10 till 11 at night I was and preparing for my different classes I still continue to teach from 7 morning till 10 o'Clock Evening except meal hours which hours are often taken up with Session business is this negligence in teaching J. D. says he made an agreement with me that he was to pay no more than for the time his Children actually attended my School which I deny he proceeds or rather confutes himself by saying he kept his Children so many weeks in the same quarter he removed them for the purpose of making up for the time of my vacation and at this present day I have as numerous a Class as any Teacher in Town except Messrs Peddies and Macome and at same time my fees are'higher than the schools who are contiguous to my school will SLEEP keep together such a decent school!! I hope the Honourable Magistrates of Paisley will be satisfied with the defence I now have presented to their Honours and will be pleased to reprove J. D. for such foul aspersions and at same time confirm their former decision!!!
