TO THE BURGESSES OF ST. GEORGE’s WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
IN acceding to the wishes of my friends that I should offer myself at the ensuing election for the honour of representing you in the Town Council, allow me respectfully to state that I consider this is not a political office, but one in which a knowledge of the business of the town is chiefly required. With the great majority of my fellow Ratepayers, I desire to see the various conflicting authorities of the borough merge into one body, and that one body based upon a true representative principle.
If elected, I will faithfully serve you, looking not to party but to principle. With these views,
I am respectfully your’s,
GEORGE LINGARD,
67, Snow-hill, Oct, 11, 1845.

RE LINGARD. – TO THE EDITOR OF THE BIRMINGHAM JOURNAL.
SIR, – In a publication called “Stubb’s Tradesman’s Protection Circular and County Court Gazette,” published on the 16th instant, under the head of “Bills of Sale for week ending June 12th,” a notice is given that “Edward Abbotts Lingard, Die Forger, King’s Norton, Worcestershire, had given to George Lingard, on the 31st ult., a Bill of Sale for £680 9s. 11d.”
As this statement is calculated injuriously to affect my client, Mr. E. A. Lingard, I wish to state the facts giving rise to the deed above referred to. It is unfortunately notorious that serious differences have for a length of time existed between my client and his father, Mr. George Lingard, and which, on the 3rd day of February last, were referred to the arbitration of Mr. Edwin Laundy, of Birmingham, Accountant, who, on the 7th ult., made his award as follows:-
[COPY AWARD.]
“I, Edwin Laundy, of Birmingham, in the county of Warwick, Accountant, hereby make my award of and concerning the accounts and matters in difference between George Lingard and Edward Abbotts Lingard, both of Birmingham aforesaid, coffin furniture manufacturers, referred by them to me in manner following, that is to say: I award and order that the said George Lingard pay to the said Edward Abbotts Lingard the sum of six hundred and eighty pounds nine shillings and eleven pence; and I award that, save as aforesaid, neither of the said parties in difference has any claim upon the other; the said sum of six hundred and eighty pounds nine shillings and eleven pence being awarded by me, after taking into account all claims, accounts, and matters in difference referred to me, and is to be paid and received by the said parties in difference in satisfaction of all such claims, accounts, and matters in difference. – As witness my hand the seventh day of May, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-eight.
“EDWIN LAUNDY.
“Signed and published in the presence of
“J. R. BLOXHAM, Solicitor, Birmingham.”
The sum of £680 9s. 11d., awarded by Mr. Laundy, was paid by Mr. George Lingard to me, on behalf of his son, on hte 31st ult., when he (the father) became entitled to an assignment of the stock-in-trade of the business carried on by the son in Snow-hill, and which the son executed to his father, and which is the instrument above referred to, which has been filed as if it were a bill of sale given on the loan of a sum of money by the father to his son, whereas such is not the fact; Mr. E. A. Lingard being absolutely entitled to the £860 9s. 11d. under the award. The public must form their own opinion as to the animus of the party causing the above publication.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
THOS. SLANEY.
