TO Mr. ROBERT ROSS. {■C^R — It was not without some gratificaWCS that I observed in last week's Examiner another I of those productions to which your name has been attached^ 'and which have so effectually increased the importance ancT prolonged the existence of what might indeed otherwise have been a " short-lived advertisement." If you can confine your letters to the subject in question, and write them yourself, I shall be happy to answer them ; but you ore much mistaken if you suppose I would degrade myself by competing with a Chartist ringleader in the production of slanderous abuse. Until you can give me the consent which .in m» ■Umtjntt* *, I requests «••*? yiim j-.«x-«m_3-isr- suctoa purpose," accompanied with a guarantee that no legal pneeeamgs shall be founded thereon, you may taunt as long as you please about the absence of a proof, as I am not so blind as to run into the snares which you have prepared ; nor are the public ignorant of your meanness, in first offering a challenge, and then consulting a lawyer to ascertain what step could be taken against any who might venture to assert the truth. I will, however, ask you one question, an answer to which would throw much light on the subject. When selling goods, have you not occasionally used your loaves as substitutes for weights, and, on such occasions, have you not been demanded and consented to make an allowance of one ounce in every pound, for the deficiency of those loaves ? I might offer some comments upon the respectability 1 the impartiality! or the veracity of many of those who had so " repeatedly weighed " your bread, and " always found it good weight; " but the present mode of correspondence is too expensive to induce me to enlarge ; and here it is right the public should know that, whilst I pay for my own advertisements, you have begged contributions from those whom you considered as interested as yourself in suppressing "public suspicions," and have been supported by others whose vicious habits disgrace their high-sounding appointments, and to whom my advocacy of Temperance has no doubt rendered me obnoxious. Whilst I am blessed with the privilege of using my pen, I trust I shall never flinch from expressing my indignation at imposition or vice, wherever they may be found, however injurious to my private interest or jeneral reputation such expressions may prove. Give me the permission and the gaurantee that I have again requested (" don't slide out of this dilemna by the side wind of an inuendo "), and I pledge myself that the " apology " I will then make shall be of such a nature as amply to satisfy both you " and that public whose feelings " I " have so wantonly outraged." Tours, &c, ym Alfbed Saundebs. V^ TO Ma. ROSS. SIR — Having sefifi a letter signed " Robert Ross," and addressed to " Alfred Saunders," in which he is accused of cheating his "own man," it is but just that I should inform the public and you that I received the said fourpound instead of a two-pound loaf, which was my due ; you state further, that I consented to have ,it weighed with one of yours, which is as false as that it was lighter than yours by two ounces, " after making due allotoance for the pickings of Mr. Saunders's man." You are aware that I insisted upon the unreasonableness of weighing a cottage with • set kiaf. Ton next inquire, why is a cottage loaf under weight? This perhaps you have most reason to answer when you are informed that I have, hi the presence of two witnesses, weighed five cottage loaves, sold by yon for two pound loaves, one of which was/See, two were three, and the remainder two ounces short of the due weight. Yours, independently, and with full liberty to exercise " the just voice of complaint," Nelson, March I4tb. Thomas Macast.
