FOR THE SUN.

Ma. EDITOR--/ am sorry to perceive that you'
have thought proper to permit, in your Reporter's
account of the very disgraceful proceedings
which took place at Marlborough-street Police
Office, instituted by a Mr. GILBERT, Estate
Agent, of Old Bond-street, against a female
with whom I have had the bad fortune to be
united, and from whom, in consequence of her de-
linquency, I was under the necessity of SW'
rating shortly after my ill-fated union, to occupy
any place in your widely circulated Journal,
more particularly as that you have made it known
through the world that she had had the audacity
to slander the conduct of one of my friends, vii.
Lady Wastel Brisco, from whom she had ima-
gined she, till lately, would have been enabled
to have, by threats, extorted a sum of money,
under pretence that it would he the means
of preventing her from libelling her Ladyship
in the Consistorial Court, where two years
ago I was cited to appear ; but since which pe-
riod no charges have been exhibited against me
by this infatuated woman. As an act of justice,
to which I feel confident you will be alive, and
give publicity to this letter, I can positively
assure you, that the suit has only been established
for the purpose of fojaning a source of extortion,
and Lady Brisco is by no means a solitary Ind'
stance of the one I have already described and
was it not that lam not inclined to blazon this letter
with a few other names of ladies to whom similar
anonymous proposals have been made, I Could
astonish your Readers not a little. Suffice it for
me to add, that my
wife was, one of the turn
Pogson, who, I doubt not, are well known
to some few hundreds of your Readers in trade,
both in town and country, and her elder sister Is
now occupying a superb mansion and manor,
situate near A ttleborough, Norwich, out of o'lsl
it appeared the assault in qaestion arose, 51r.
Gilbert being Land Agent. Vide his lamentation
at the Office in consequence !
I remain, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
