TO THE EDITORS OF THE LIVERPOOL

MERCURY.

GENTLEMEN,
HAVING had my attention directed to an
of the 7th instant, by
Messrs. Peck and Sons, of lianelagh-street, in
under the necessity or
which they
advertise-
ment
are pleased to state, " They are
number of
a giving this public notice in consequence of _
their friends having purchased goods from A . 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 enougb,
inserted in your paper
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,
served a single person purchasing under the erroneous
impression that my establishment in St. James's-street
was a " branch concern of theirs." I now take this op.
portunity of 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-t
edient radesman.---I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen, your ob servant,

W PEAK.
No. 137, St. James's-street, June 8, 1844.

tradesmanlike deception on several of our friends • and
as he 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-street, authenticated by the
signature of the cousin of tae 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 notice.
