THE LATE MR JERROLD.

Messrs. Charles Dickens and Arthur Smith, in answer
to Mr. Blancherd's late letter respecting the estate of his
father, say:—" Mr. Jerrold's eldest son thereupon gave
to a letter of his own what publicity he could obtain for
it, making his own representation of his late father's
affairs. We knew our forbearing and delicate reference
to them (forced upon us by exaggerations with which we
had been repeatedly met, and which the son had never
contradicted) to be perfectly accurate, ,and we knew his
account of them to be highly Incorrect. We are entirely
sorry to be obliged to produce the proof of this ; but it is
necessary to the clearance of our own good faith, and
that of the gentlemen associated with us. We have
before us, under date the second of the present
month, a letter from the solicitor to the late Mr. Jerrold's
estate (a gentleman well known in his profession, Mr.
Ashurt, of the Old Jewry), in which, after mentioning
that there is a life assurance of a thousand pounds, which
is Mrs. Jerrold's absolutely, and which the estate cannot
claim, he informs the correspondent to whom his commu-
nication is addressed, 'that he cannot understand Mr.
Blanchard Jerrold's reason for writing this unfortunate
letter ; that he thinks he and his family ought to be set
right on the matter;' and that, if a certain claim be urged
of which he has received the particulars. ' the facts and
figures show that the estate will be absolutely insolvent.'
We quote this letter with its writer's permission, and we
have now done with this subject for ever."
