MR. PET() AND LORD WARD.
47, Russell.square, 27th March, 1851.
To THE EDITOR OF TILE MORNING POST.
Sir,—l have read Lord Ward's letter to you in yo* paper
of this morning.

My only object in making the statement which I did at
the meeting of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton
Railway Company was to rebut the unjust aspersions of herd
Ward; and if, in doing so, the declarations which I was
then compelled to make, and am now forced to reiterate, are
disagreeable to Lord Ward, it is by no fault of nine that
they are so.

Bat even now Lord Ward does not deny " the statentegi
which I made at the meeting," to the effect that he, beirk
chairman of the company, did, pending negotiations with the
London and North-Western and Midland Oompanies, de-
mand, through the party deputed to act on behalf of th
companies, 5,000 preference shares at par, those shares bei
at that time at a very considerable premium. He merely
re-asserts a former denial of a particular expression attri-
buted to his solicitor, namely, that " His Lordship required
three things to be done before he would undertake to assent
to the agreement." On returning to the report to which
Lord Ward now refers me, I find that the denial was given
simply in these words, " I never said that;" and in like man-
ner, in his Lordship's letter of yesterday, he eenfines tfs
denial to the use of the words, "as a preliminary to, or con-
dition of, his subscribing the proposed arrangement."
This, I repeat, is no denial of my 'statement. Whether
Lord Ward used the words ‘, as a preliminary to, or condition
of," is obviously beside the question. It might be quit*
unnecessary to say what was necessarily implied, but Lord
Ward cannot be permitted by this special pleading to
avoid the statement which I made circumstantially and in
full detail, not of having used any particular form of ex-
pression, but of having demanded and insisted upon the 5,000
shares as a sine qua non (for that was the expression in
which Lord Ward's ultimate determination was, in the
hearing of more than one, conveyed) to his adhesion to the
proposed arrangement. If Lord Ward did not intend the
terms which he proposed to be a condition of his acclaim-
ence, and a part of the treaty, why was the demand of thoee
terms made directly to the companies with whom, as he
knew, that treaty had been all but concluded? the only
question, then, remaining open being thie—Whether his
Lordship would or would not adopt it?
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
S. Monvox Pam
MR. PETO AND LORD WARD.

TO mix EDITOR OF THE MORNING POST.
Mivart's Hotel, March 26, MI.
Sir,—Mr. Peto, in a letter published in your columns to-
day, repeats the charge made by him against me at the Ox-
ford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway meeting, on
28th of last February, of having demanded 500 Preform°.
Shares as a " preliminary to considering the arrangement
proposed with the London and North-Western and Midland
Companies," and adds, " that it is due to himself to declare
that I did not at that meeting deny having done so." If
he will turn to the report of that meeting, he will see that
when he ventured to make the assertion that I had asked ibr
them, as one of the conditions to assenting to the proposed
arrangements between the other companies, or in other
words, when he ventured to impute motives to me in having
asked for them, I met him—Mr. Peto—face to face, with o
distinct denial of having done so, as a " preliminary to," or
"condition of," my subscribing the proposed arrangement.
I enter into these details to recal to Mr. Peto's recollection
the facts as they took place, as I am unwilling to sea in his
letter of this morning a studied insult to myself, or to believe
that he would convey such to me through the columns of the
public press.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WA

Town by Holloway's Pills and Ointment.—Major Welob, of
Wellington-bridge, Hobart Town, writes that Holloway's
Pills and Ointment enjoy high reputation in Van Diemen's
Land ; he speaks of one man who for years had been under the
treatment of the medical practitioners, and was discharged
from the hospital as incurable, and had become so miserable
emaciated and weak that he could only move about with the
assistance of persons supporting him. In this condition he
commenced using these medicines, which have so completely
renovated his health that he is now become a stoat, healthy.

Holloway's Pills and Ointment. Sold by all druggists, ant at
