TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES
Sir, --- As the election agent of Mr Henry Spicer the Liberal candidate for South Islington, I desire to say that Mr Spicer was not even aware of the holding of the meeting in St Peter's Schools, at which Mr Lluellyn and the Duke of Norfolk attended, until after it had been held.
I also was equally unconcious that such a meeting was to be held, and did not hear of it until after it was over.
Neither I nor any of the members of Mr Spicer's committee promoted, organized, or assisted at the disturbance which occurred at that meeting. As soon as Mr Spicer heard of it he wrote to Mr Lluellyn to express his regret at what had happened and his determination to do all in his power to check such action in the future; he received a kind reply from Mrs Lluellyn, in which she mentioned her husband's illness, and Mrs Spicer then called on Mrs Lluellyn and expressed her sorrow and sympathy. The interview was a most kindly and friendly one, and she stated that her husband had not been personally injured at the meeting, but was suffering from the effects of a chill. Unfortunately Mr Lluellyn, after the meeting, although suffering from a cold at the time, drove home outside his carriage, after which he rapidly got worse. Pneumonia set in and he sank. This is completely confirmed by Dr Stokes, who attended him throughout the illness.
Mr Spicer desires me to say he has been profoundly touched by the sad event which has happened during his contest in this division.
He wishes me also to add that immediately after the account of the disturbance appeared he ordered bills to be issued urging his supporters to abstain from attending Conservative meetings.
In justice to Mr Spicer I have to beg you will kindly insert this letter.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
John H Mote, Mr Spicer's election agent.
