[To THE EDITOR OV TOR useaarrroa."1 SIR,—My attention has been
called to the extraordinary story told by Mr. Tallack in the Spectator of November 24th in reference to Mr. John Bright. It seems a very serious thing when a person has been dead for some years that stories of this kind should be fabricated and a respectable paper found to give them publicity. Mr. Tallack was not a person much known to our family, and it is not in the least likely that Mr. Bright would make use of such language.—I am, Sir, &a., Claverton Lodge, Bath. LIMAS ASHWORTH HALLETT.
[Mr. Tallack will, we presume, answer in our next issue this accusation of deliberate misstatement—fabrication can have no other meaning—but meantime we must repel the accusa- tion thus made against an honourable and high-minded man as grossly unjust. That Mr. Tallack should, RR suggested, have deliberately invented his anecdote of Mr. Bright will at once be declared impossible by all who know him.—En. Spectator.]
