THE GAS STOKERS.

(TO THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR.")

Sra,—In your impression of the 21st ult, you state,—" five leading gas stokers in the employ of the London Gaslight Company were on Thursday tried before Mr. Justice Brett on a charge of conspiracy against the company," &c.

This is an error which I will thank you to correct in your next issue.'" The men referred to were not in the employ of this Com- pany. Our men, with the exception of about a dozen, remained faithful at the time of the late strike, and the Directors have shown their appreciation of this conduct by inviting the men and their wires to tea in the club-rooms on the works, a musical entertainment given after tea being varied by suitable addresses from the Hon. A. Kinnaird, M.P., and other members of the Board.-- I am, Sir, &C.,

ROBERT MORTON, Engineer to the Company. London Gaslight Company, Nine Elms, S. W., Dec. 31, 1872.
