swearsvaMERCURY.
GENTLEMEN,
HAVING had my attention directed to an advertise-
ment inserted in your paper of the 7th instant, by
Messrs. Peck and Sons, of lianelagh-street, in which they
are pleased to state, " They are under the necessity of
giving this public notice in consequence of a number of
their friends having purchased goods from %V. Peak, of
St. James's-street, believing at the time (and not being
informed by the parties to the contrary) that it was a
branch concern of theirs," I trust you will be kind enough,
in justice to myself, to give publicity to this my most
unequivocal denial of the false and malicious imputations
conveyed by the preceding extract ; and I hereby challenge
Messrs. Peck and Sons to prove that I ever, knowingly,
ea a single person purchasing under the erroneous
impression that my establishment in St. James's-street
"branch concern of theirs." I now take this op-
ofrtunityof disclaiming all connexion with Messrs. Peck
and Sons, and of assuring them, that, in conducting my
business, I have no disposition or necessity to avail my_
self of the rather questionable support of their mighty
and all-important name, which, for paltry puffing pur-
poses, they have contrived adroitly to bring before the
public in such a fantastic shape ; nor will I ever so far
stoop to follow their example as to attempt to maintain
my own reputation by insidiously and illiberally reflecting
on that of a fellow-tradesman.—I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen, your obedient servant,

GENTLEMEN,
N reply to an Advertisement in the Albion of the 10th
I instant, (which would have been earlier answered, had
not business called us from home,) we beg distinctly to
repeat the charge conveyed in our notice published in the
Mercury and other Liverpool papers, that W. Peak has
hiwiself, or some of his assistants, practised very un.
tradesmanlike deception on several of our friends ; and,
as be has challenged us to the proof, we beg to refer to a
flagrant case, which may be seen on application at our
place of business, Ranelagh-strect, authenticated by the
signature of the cousin of the lady on whom the deception
was practised, the lady herself having returned to her
home beyond London. In reference to our former notice,
it perhaps may be unnecessary to state, that we had no
malicious feeling towards Mr. Peak, our only object being
to warn our friends that we had no connexion with him,
which having been obtained, we are not desirous further
to puff him into noticeW.
