CORRESPONDENCE.
To the Editor of the “Hangkons Telegraph"]
A FOOTBALL QUERY.
Sir.-Apropos RP.O. Henry Berkinshaw's reply to
"Swin-
donian" of yesterday's date, will he please answer the questions that were asked, and not erade them, as be certainly has done?
If by gaining time and thereby soliciting information to secure answers to the questions already stated, I have others up my sleeve of a more direct nature than those already asked.
Nemes and addresses of "Swindonian" and his informants will be given when the occasion permits, or when a climax has been reached; till then I would ask Berkinshaw of the Ambrose to search his memory and answer what is seked.
Yours etc.

In this limited accommodation, they were transported with duel velat to the Central Police Station.
