impression which exists amongst some of his ca•tomers, that he has
retired, or is aboat to retire, from business. This impression (which
is entirely unfounded) has probably arisen in censequence of the re-
tirement and selling off of a jeweller of the same name, also of New

been, in any way connected, either in business or by relationship.
