TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin—Under the head of the Mansion-house yesterday,
there appears in the morning papers of to-day a report of
what passed on an application by us on behalf of our client,
Mr. James Hutchinson, against Mr. Henry Smith Evans.
In case this application should be reported in your paper
of to-day, we think it proper that the public should be in-
formed, through the same medium, that, subsequently, Mr.
Evans made a most ample retractation and apology for the
offensive terms used (which is in our possession), in conse-
quence of which Mr. Hutchinson, through us, consented to
his discharge. We are, Sir, your obedient servants,
AMORY, SEWELL, AND MORRIS.
