The Manchester Examiner published ou Thursday an article on the

Poor Law Board as a quotation from the Spectator. 14 such article ever appeared in our columns, and we shall be glad if our contemporary will correct its inadvertent error. We suppose it is useless to ask the Standard to correct another which may or may not be inadvertent, but looks wilful. It asserted, on Tuesday, that the Spectator had suggested Mr. Bright as a possible Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland. Nothing in the least resembling such an absurdity has ever appeared in our columns. Secretary for Ireland Mr. Bright ought to have been, but he is no more fit for the Viceroyalty than the Viceroyalty is worthy of him.
