Trinity Square, Tower Hill, 1, Postern Row, London, 10l.Ii June, IS7I. /COMPLAINTS having been made to mo of \J the quality of Rums lately made up in this market by one or two houses, for shipment to Australia, I think it my duty to address you on the matter, as I find the Rums complained of have been made up wilh large proportions of Penang (Kast. India Rum) imtl Mauritius, mixed with West India Rum, thereby enabling the sellers to quote lower prices; but the result of such a mixtue canonly give a coarse, raw rum, utterly unsuited to the requirements of the Colonies, and fur below the quality of the Rums hitherto shipped from this maiket. For many years past , and up to the liquidation of the old firm of Lemon Hart & Son in tho }abter part of last yeur, I personally attended to tlm vatting of all Rums sent out by that firm ; and in making up my Rums now for Australia, my aim is at least to equal thn standard of quality which I always prepared for that market, and which was so well known I have no connection with the gentleman who purchased the assets of the old firm from the trustee ; and wlio now trades in the name of Lemon llaiit & Son, at George street, Tower Hill ; and no Hum is prepared by me except that branded only " Lemon llaut's Rum, London." As with Rums bearing my brand I U3O only Demerava and West lixliu. Hums, I in all cases hand a dock certificate with invoico. At sumo time, where buyers may require a lower quality, I am always prepared !o submit much lower prices, but without my full brand. Yours faithfully, LEMON HART. Trinity Square-, Tower Ilill, 1, Postern Row, London, ] 2th July, IS7I. DEAR SIR, — My attention has been called to a circular dated 24th March, 1871, appearing in the "Journal of Commerce of Victoria," dated Melbourne-, 18th May, 1871. This circular purports to be issued by tho now extinct, firm of Lemon Haet & Sox, and is evidently designed to induce the belief that it emanates from tho former partners of that firm, and that tho business is still carried on by them. I hasten, therefore, to inform you that such is not tho fact; that (he old firm of Lemon ITarfc & Son no longer oxists, having been dissolved in November last ; that I, its senior partner, am no party to the circular if sued in my late firm's name, and have no interest whatever in tho business fho.ro referred to, having established myself under tho name of Lemon Haut & Co. at the above address ; and that, the circular above referred to emanates from Mr White, of Tenby, who, having bought the assets of the lato firm at a fixed sum, thus unwarrantably assumes to use its name and title. The further statement in fho above circular, as to the stuff who have been specially employed in tho preparation of the Rum shipped by my lato firm, refers to the retention of ono or two dock clerks, whoso only business, as employes, was to carry out the instructions given cither by my lato father or myself, the secret of the whole matter being of course tho judicious selection of tho various kinds of Rum required for tho purpose, which is only to be arrived at by many years of experience ; and I need not add (but this part of tho business was not done by the "staff," but by myself. All Rum shipped by mo will bo branded "Lemon Ham's Ruar, London." I beg to enclose you my circular of tho 10th June, in rcßomioa to this matter, and (0 the quality of tho Rum lately shipped from here by ono or two houses. Faithfully yours, LEMON nART.
