If he had politely said that we had caused one letter to be substituted for another, which did not change the sound of the name, and had put in a Christian name where the title of a civic honour was inscribed, whereby the party was more _clearly_ identified--for Mr. Alderman A. may be anybody--it had been well and harmless, and no such letter, which he terms acrimonious, had been written. You gave, in a note to my letter, an opinion that the question was _not touched_. Now, Sir, I wish to ask you or the LL.D. if any LAW is violated, and if a family has a right to inscribe on a monument that A. or B. were Deputy-Lieut., Magistrates, M.P., or High Sheriffs? and if so, if a party is termed Alderman where his proper description would be Lord Mayor, the family may not legally and judiciously alter it? We stand impeached with _breaking a law_, and by implication with, _falsifying_ a lapidary inscription. We wish to know if _these imputations_ are meant either by LL.D. or the STATIONER, for if they are, let the case be tried before proper tribunal, or else let us have a denial. If I do not hear from you I shall send the family lawyer to meet the charge. GORDON GYLL. 7, Lower Seymour Street, Portman Square." The above are reproduced exactly as printed in _Notes and Queries_.
