To the Editor of the Times. 

Sir, — In your number of Friday last we perceive, among the police reports, 
an account of an interview of Messrs. Fothergill, Struve, and others, at the 
Mansion-house, with Mr. Alderman Gibbs, on behalf of the Gerihan ref- 
ugees. We beg to declare that neither any of the members of the undersigned 
committee, nor any of the German refugees supported by that committee, 
have had any connexion with this affair. 

We request you, Sir, to publish this declaration in your next, as, in the 
interest of our nationality, we must protest against the numerous German 
refugees residing in London being made responsible for a steptaken by some 
of them upon their own authority. 

We are, Sir, your most obedient servants, 

The Democratic Socialist Committee for German Political Refugees— 
Ch. Marx. 
Ch.Pfaender. 
F. Engels.
