FROM MESSRS. MARTIN & FENWICK, CIVIL ENGINEERS AND SURVEYORS, LEEDS.

PARK PLACE,

LEEDS, August 5th, 1872.

To the Chairman of Quarter Sessions, North Riding of Yorkshire.

SIR,

We have much pleasure in giving our testimony to the fitness of MR. WILLIAM DANBY for the vacant office of Surveyor of Bridges for the North Riding.

We have known him for several years as an assistant with Mr. Filliter of this town, and have met him frequently at the New Reservoirs in the Washburn Valley, where he has been employed for some time in superintending the works, under Mr. Filliter. We have had opportunities of observing his methodical habits, and the steady perseverance with which he discharges the duties entrusted to him, and we are able to say, that he possesses these qualities in an eminent degree. He has been trained in a good school, and has had good practical experience in the exercise of his professional duties.

We have reason to believe that his abilities are of a superior order, and that his personal character is unimpeachable, and we can, with confidence, recommend him to the Justices as being well qualified for the office he seeks at their hands.

We have the honour to be,

Sir,

Yours very obediently,

MARTIN & FENWICK.
