[TO TER EDITOR OF 1118 "SPECTATOR."] SIR,—We should rather like

to know who the Mr. Simpson is "who is animated by the true spirit of chivalry," and who has given you your information about the trousers-makers of Liver- pool. We guess he has been hoaxed and has hoaxed you. At any rate, if the hands he speaks of are even moderate work-people, we have no objection to find employment for a few at 150 per cent. better wages than those named.—We are, Sir, &c., DAVID FARRER AND CO.
