BE COMPLAINT. (To the Editor) Sir, —I quite agree with your correspondent that there are some vile smells in the vicinity of Wakeman-street, and which in my opinion nothing but a comprehensive system of drainage will remove, but such smells are not due to the sources complained of by your correspondent, who also has allowed his imagination to carry him too far when he said I “ defied the Borough Council to remove them,” unless he has constituted himself tho Mayor and Council rolled into ®ne, as I certainly defied him, having been personally informed by the inspecter that I was committing no infringement of the Borough by-laws. In conclusion I might add that if the party whose signature appears at the bottom of tho letter had been either stableman or billiard marker on the premises alluded to, to which position he has more than once unsuccessfully aspired, I venture to say that the Borough officials would not have been informed or yourself troubled by such a “ boorish” epistle.— I am, etc., It. Seymour, Lessee, not proprietor Club Hotel. This correspondence, having takes a personal turn, muit now eeaae.—Ed. Herald.
