It Row appears the retraction was only sent to the Times after he had received a lawyer's letter or Father a lawyer's telegram from the Mansion House, Dublin, The piquancy of the whole thing 4s this: Balfour, while making an unfounded charge, abused Gladstone for saying he would only apologize for slanders after receiving a lawyer's letter, He referred to Colonel Dopping, the agent of Capt.
