JUDGE MALIBURTON.

(To THE EDITOR or Tun " SPECTAT01.")

Foe,—May I ask through your columns for the use of any material in the way of unpublished letters, journals, or reminiscences your readers may have of Judge Thomas Chandler Haliburton of Nova Scotia, the creator of " Sam Slick " ? I am working on a critical biography of Haliburton, and would he very grateful for any intimate personal detail concerning him. Judge Haliburton was resident in England from 1656 until his death in 1865, and was M.P. for Launceston during the latter part of this period.—I am, Sir, Se., V. L. 0. Cairn..
