A CORRECTION.

[TO THE EDITOR OF THE "sescrszna:•1

SIR,—Will you permit me to correct a slight inaccuracy in the review of "The Garden at Monkholme," which appeared in the Spectator of January 11th? It is there implied that Mr. Donald- son was a lawyer, and that a (supposed) legal opinion is hazarded on the discovered will.

Mr. 'Donaldson was merely trustee and friend of the testator, and explains :—" I missed seeing the only solicitor within a con- venient distance, and returned home without having ascertained anything at all." So that the personages acted in an emergency, on their own unqualified judgment of a legal difficulty. With

apologies for troubling you about so slight a misapprehension,—
