The system of touting for honours eried aloud for inquiry. He had obtained denial from the Government that these touts were authorised by them, and be accepted the denial unreservedly, but lettera which had come into his possession left a strong impression that while those touts had received no authority from the Government, they yet might have some connection with the third party who was authorised by the Government. He quoted the following lester written in identical terms to two people living in. different parts of England:
