[Ar)VERT1SE DfErT.I TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMIES. Sir,-In your paper o:' yesterday, under the head of Uaion-hall, I observe it stated, that a turncock belonging to the " South Litnbeth Water Workb" applied for renkuneration for his trouble in turnirng an the water at a Fire in the London-road a few evenings ago; and that the magirtrate refuaed his auplication, on the ground of great de- lay in granting a supply ot"water upen that distressing occasion. I beg to observe, that there is no suc. cormpany as the South Lam beth; antl being apprehensive that the censure of the worthy magis. trate may bc supposed to apply to the South London Water Works oampany, from the circumstance of their reservoirs being in the vicinity of South Lambeth, I consider it sav duty to correct the error, and to state, that althourh the main of the Sourh London Water Works iS within a shurt distance of the spot where the fire happened, our Company is not permtitted to supoly water itn anv part of St. George's-fields, the lIambeth U'ater Works having, bi act of Par^ Jiament, the privilege to supply the whole of that populous dibtrict. including the WVes-minster and Blackfriars ra2dM A-, L arn yours. &c2 NVILLIAM1 HEATH Clerk. - ---------I--------- ?, , ?Ug. .11 ""A I'Elf UCUMPAN'IZS.
