DISCLAIMERS.
To the Editor. —The letters with the ab ivo heading that appears in your journal from time to lime, are to me, as they doubtless are to numbers of your readers, a source of infinite amusement. ben Smith 13. Jones, brimful of wrath, writes to say ho is not the S, Brown Jones fined for drunkenness, he admits the feasibility and perhaps the probability, that it might have been he. No doubt it is wrong to laugh at the peccadilloes of your neighbour, and having some idle time (the devil was sick, &c.) I beg to suggest a remedy for the children, who having been burnt, now fear the lire. In future, as is the custom in England, describe the devotee to Bacchus as Fmnh B. Jones (Boltlewasher), who, of course, could never be mistaken for S. Brown Jonos (Esquire.) of Robinsonstreet. C. W.
