DISCRETION

SIR,—Mr. Hamilton is truly naughty : a teaser. He now titillates our curiosity again, this time about Maundy Gregory. To mention this little • cad, and then to tell nothing, because of scruples less delicate than they are absurd, is SANDEMAN & SONS, ridiculous : the recipients of the honours hinted at must themselves be ludicrobs. The posture of discretion simply will not do. The bounders Mr. Hamilton is shielding deserve no protec- tion. Mr. Hamilton should speak up. or be dumb. Let dog eat dog later. Meantime, one's patience is exhausted by these tilted snuffles.— Yours faithfully, JOIIN DAVENPORT Savage Club, 1 Carlton House Terrace, SW 1
