CHIMNEY SWEEP.
[To the Editor of the Daily Telegraph.] Sir, —As a chimney sweep will you permit me through your columns to enquire the reason of the recent hubbub for a chimney sweep. I have been a licensed chimney sweep since the license camo out, and can conscientiously say that I have advertised in the local papers at considerable expense, and all orders that I have received have been attended to except in very rare cases. Considering that a hotel keeper advertising for a chimney sweep, and only wants a kitchen range swept, for which I get 2s, I think that, •when he sent for me and I told him that I was unwell and unable to walk from Napier to the Spit, that he ought to have accepted my offer to lend him my apparatus without resorting to advertising, and make it appear either that I was unwilling to do the work offered me, or that there was no chimney sweep in the place.—l am, &c, John Ltngard.
