GEORGE WILSON'S CASE,

[TD THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR."' I It beg to acknowledge on behalf of George Wilson, the pit-lad, with grateful thanks the subscriptions received from your readers; and I may add that so generous has been their response to my appeal, that he was able to "give in his lamp " and leave the pit on Monday, and that a sufficient sum

is now in my hands to meet his expenses, and to help him with books, &c., while he is at College.—I am, Sir, &c., EDWARD LIDDELL.

The Rectory, Jarrow-on-Tyne, March 23rd.

[The list of subscriptions received by Mr. Liddell will be found in our advertisement columns.—En. Spectator.]
