at which time one Alonzo Robinson, stepping out of his

flash of lightning on the top of Ib3s head, and rent his

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stn,— An injurious and mischievous paragraph having
appeared in the Morning Herald of yesterday, stating
that the Proprietor of i'divart's Hotel had stopped pay-
ment, and, although immediately contradicted by the
Herald in their Third Edition, still net sufficiently
satisfactory for the intended injury, I therefore request
You will give publicity to this -:t6tenient ; and that the
false and scandalous libel is most unfounded, for the
proof of which I refer you to my bankers, Messrs.
Cockburn and. Co., of Whitehall, who can fully satisfy
You as to the falsehood of this base and unjust fabrica-
tion. I remain, Sir, yours, &c.,
J. E. MIVART.
My Solicitors, Messrs. Allen and Gylby, are fully in-
structed in this matter.
