SLANDER RUN RIOT.

(To the Editor Stratford Post.) Sir,-—lt is more than “passing strange” it should bo accessary after 14 i years in Stratford for mo to contradict the slanderous statement being circulated by a certain clique find for a specific purpose at the present time. If it is of any interest to my ignorant and unsophisticated traducers, 1 may state that my name is of pure English origin and antecedent to the Battle of Hastings, my grandmother ou both sides were also pure EugUsh, on fathers side, of Colchester, and my mother’s, of Dover. I was born xn Tunbridge Moils, brought up in Loudon, went with my parents to Sweden, not leaving that country till after i was married. My wife is it Stockholm lady. Should my detractors require further information, 1 have no doubt : i can supply them with it, but I warn I them that any circulation that comes to my ears will be dealt with by quite a different method.—l am, etc. WALTER J. NEWTON.
