ASSURANCE SOCIETIES VERSUS PUBLIC
HOUSE CLUBS.
To the Editor of the" Observer."

Sic—Referring to a letter which appeared in your
impression of the 20th instant, and signed by one
P.D.C.R.,- will you allow me through the medium of
your columns respectfully to request " P.D.C.R.” to read
the report you gave of the meeting alluded to once again,
and see whether he has not exceeded the bounds of
truth, justice, and equity, iu the statements he makes
respecting me.
It is true I was present at, and presided over the meet.
tog of the '• Wesleyan and General Assurance Society,''
held in the Corn Exchange, on Monday. the Eith instant.
but I distinctly and emphatically deny the charge pre-
ferred against me by your amiable correspondent, viz.,
that of " ranting at the public-house clubs."
In the few remarks I made on that occasion no refer-
ence whatever was made to public-hou-,e clubs," nor
did I attempt to "dilate to a great extent upon the so.
ciety having adopted the graduated scale of payments,"
nor did I speak of the " rules and scale of payments
being certified by an actuary,- nor did I allude in any
way to the evils "of public-house clubs, nor does your
report of that meeting say I did. Indeed, eir,my know-
ledge of the management and success of the 'Wesleyan
and General Assurance Society was so limited, and
that of " publie-hoase clubs" more no. that I deemed it
prudent on my part to leave the advocacy of the claims
of that and kindred societies, to gentlemen who were
then present to represent the same, and were more con-
versant and better informed with the details of the
society than myself.
I regret your correspondent " P.D.C.H.," should here
SO tar forgetten himself as to act the part of a perverter,
and would kindly recommend him when again anxious to
play the scribe to your valuable paper .0 confine himself
CO the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
