WHITE HORSE HOTEL.
Sib, —Permit mc, through the medium of your columns, to correct and dear away the impression which has been CKoeed by some error in your report of the Licensing meeting some week or so ago, and in the matter of the bad repute left by such report to outsiders and my country friends and customers. I haYβ since made inquiries, and find
I have since made inquiries, and find that the several complaints mentioned by you of Sunday trading should have been one, and then it was a complaint without foundation, for the police removed three drunken men from the street near my hotel, who could not get drink from mc, or entrance into the hotel, which should exonerate mc, and no complaint whatever was made of rough characters frequenting tho house.
Thepolice reported as fellows:—"Having visited the White Horse Hotel, I found everything very clean, a fire escape in every room, but three rooms detached unfurnished." (These reoms were not ueed, but, in deference to the wishes of the Chairman, I am furnishing and doing them up for the use of my family.) The report concludes with " a well conducted and respectable house." No complaint of any kind has ever beon made against the house by the force, and I may also state the license I. have just obtained is endorsed "A well conducted house." By placing the above you will confer a favor and clear away a reputation undeserved.
Tours, &c,
