We regret to have thus publicly to draw attention
to the way in which the executors have managed
the property of the late Mr. Browne, better known
as " Artemus Ward." It is but fair to all concerned
that the allegations made in the United States
should be brought to the notice of these persons.
The editor of the Biddeford (Maine) Democrat
intimates that 46 the mother of the deceased ha-
mourist has not been able to get a single word in
answer to her numerous letters from those 3tho

obtained possession of the money and chattels of
her son after his death." Rumours reflecting
anything but honour on the English executors
have been circulated in America, and on a
former occasion we called attention to the fact,
announcing that we would again bring the subject
up in case it was permitted to remain in this unsa-

tisfactory state. We hope that some friend of th e
parties interested will see the necessity of moving
in the matter, if the people directly concerned do
not—for it will be nothing less than a national dis-
grace if the mother of a generous and confiding
stranger like Artemus Ward (under such circum-
stances) be deprived of her rights and mu, ble to pro-
cure common justice in England. We do not
think the public will be inclined to look tamely on
if the facts should turn out to be as reported in the
States.
