TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Covent. garden, May 7, 1844.
Ma. EDITOR—With all my regard for publicity, I beg
to observe, that I only covet it in its pure and legi-
timate form; but I must not be mixed up, nor have my ,
name used gratuitously in such a case as " The Will
Forzeries." The moment I read the statement which T
no .%- extract from your journal, I lost not a moment in
writing to Mr. Bramall, whose clerk (Robert Peckham) .
had made, it should seem, this involuntary blunder; thus
I endeavoured without delay to get au antidote to the
poison; but I have been obliged to receive Mr. Braman's
illness as his excuse for thialong silence. I fast give the
very equivocal terms in which may name was introduced.
It will easily be inferred that, with a very independent
reliance on my name and- character, I am, nevertheless,
exceedingly averse to having any allusion made to either
in such a nefarious transaction. Now mark how a plain
tale shall correct this voluntary association. Just let me
observe, that neither directly nor indirectly do 1 know
one single person included in these trials, and I thank my
stars, not one who was instrumental in these robberies—.
that I never .received or benefited a single guinea by
the will of any human being during my life. This !rill
probably put an extinguisher on any one who might
have been scev'tical about this 1,0001. On periming the
followin' equivocal lines in the Tunes, of April 15th, in
the evidence given by Robert Peckham, clerk to Mr„
Bramall— . _

" There are three besides this, which form the sub-
ject of indictments ; there is another which is not tha
subject of indictment ; and there is one in which Mr.
Braman, my present employer, lies since receiv(ql t,OOOl.
for which he is very thankful. That was the case with
Mr. George Robins."
I instantly wrote the following to lir. Braman •
" IN RE WILL FORGERIES.

" SIR—I am anxious to know what is the circum•
stance that has connected my name with this affair.
Your clerk, Robert Peckham, has introduced it, ant
as I have no knowledge whatever 2f any of the parties,
or their deeds, that could render the. use of my name
essential, I shall feel obliged, if you will enable me to
correct this in the public journals. I am, &c.
