T. E. BROWN OF CLIFTON

[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR.]

Sig,—Is not my friend " Janus " in error in referring to T. E. Brown, of Clifton, as a " north-countryman " ?

I was in "Brown's House" over fifty years ago and well remember how he used to tell us of his life among the fishing boats in the Isle of Man. Furthermore, I may tell you that Pembrokeshire has just a bit of a claim to Dr. Vaughan, for many years ago his family came to live for a time at that most interesting spot, Upton Castle, near Pembroke, and when in later years I met Dr. Vaughan at Wellington he greeted me with " I am always glad to meet a Pembrokeshire man ! "—I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
