NEW NORWICH INSURANCE CUMPANK

TO T/IR EDITOR OP MI STATESMAN,
Stn,—Ubaerying a letter in the papers from Mr. Big-
nold, the Secretary to the above Office, reflecting on the
publication ofan official letter front J. C. Curwen, F:sq.
11,1'. as Trustee to the late Norwich Union Society, to
Mr. Bignold, as Secretary, and insinuating that the let-
ter was procured by stealth, 1 repel the insinuation with
contempt. A copy of the letter was handed to me by a
Member of the dissolved Norwich Union Society. 1
understand it was read at a public meeting of the Mem-
hers, who,-with Mr. Curwen, were indignant at finding
their Society secretly destroyed, and their property
turned over N a Joint Stock Company.—At this ineetini
Mr. Curwen was present.
The honourable and public-spirited Trustee's Letter
to the Smeary was any thing but a "private comma-
niestion."—lt was as official remonstrance and desi-
rable as it might be for the interests of Mr. Bignold to
keep it secret, it was equally necessary to the interests of
tke Members, and to the high character of the writer,
that it should fie made publie. The assertions, that Mr.
Curwen insures in the new Comptny, and "supports it
as a Frasier," are wholly unfounded.
I am, &r. J. IWBB.IRD.
