attempt to fix the bunion of your own mallguities on an-

"To. W. F. Philp, Esq., Capt. Leicestershire Militia,
57, 81. George's-road, Pimlico."
That was a difficult latter for Captain Philp to meet, and
after taking 'dries, it was thooogghht better for him not to re-
ply to it, end the matter was Mamd in his solicitor's haze,
-who wrote this letter in reply
" 11. Lewis, Esq., 110, Camlwidge-street, Pimlico.
" Sir,—Captain Philp hes plead your letter of the 14th

tight. I have ao wish to refer further to the content. of
that latter, except to beg that you will act again address
Captain Philp. You know that gentleman is well able to
rant any imult that may be offered to him. but It being
ley ditty to prevent any breach of the pesos being com.
netted, I request you to desist from furthercommunica-

"To Mr. G. F. Cooke, 30, King-street, Chetheide."
The matter rested there, and no notice was taken of it, but
Mr. Lewis thought proper to address the' following letter
to the edam' sad ofithers of the militia regiment to which
Captain Philp

" Oestlemee,—As an officer of the service to which you
ill belong, I am compelled to notice the dastardly conduct
of Captain Philp, of the Leicester Militia, towards my sis-
ter, Miss Merpretta Lewis, likewise to furnish you with
copies of my letter to him on the omegiou.

leaves me no remedy but to expose his mean and slanderous
behaviour to all who know him, and especially to the officers

the unfounded slaeders he had uttered. It was during the
trial of she cause in Weetminster.hall that I received the

Mel pretty severely on his premeditated falsehood

the answer returned to me, on which finding he intended
sheltering behind the law, I made the abort rejoinder
masked No. 3, also enclosed. The printed enclosure is cut
from the Standard newspaper
of Feb. 10, 1865, and shows
the feeling evinced by Captain Frazer, the party mien-
Rigged with my sister against the dastardly falsifier of her
bumf and character. I have furnished their:gal/man with
an account of Captain Philp's sccueatioos spinet her, and
also with capita of my correspondence to him, ho., which
may possibly assist in ascertaining who is the cowardly
perpetrator of those atrocious calamnise. With every
apology for you on the matter, but feeling I have no other
COMO to pursue, I have the honour to be, gentlemen, your
Obedient servant. "J. R. Lewis, Lieutenant Royal
Cardigan

Royal Cardigan Militia, and being a native of a conoty
whom men are proverbially jealous of the reputation of
their female relations, I beg leave to furnish you
with some eorrespoodecioe, I deemed it requisite to
transmit to the colonel and °Moors of the Leicester militia,
laving reference to the attempted vilifier of my idster's
fame and character, all of which you will be good enough to
pablieb, and for which I shell willingly consider myself
Bale as the author, if called upon to do so. —I am, sir,
