OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBATH.

TO
THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
art observe by the Courier of Wednesday week, an
part stating that, owing to some misapprehension on the
re6,td. their informant, the statement made the week before,
for-gve to the conduct of Mr. Hall in administering the law
Marti better observance of the Sabbath, was in one or two
fkieulars not strictly correct ; and as I am a little involved
t.taaiittee fin r dispute, I consider it my duty to lay the truth of the
before the public. The first part of the article which
abiected to, is that which states thatit has been cus-
colt a•r Yto return the cost of the summons, 3s. 6d., on the
oorrvietion of the offender, to the informant : this is strictlyProseFt ; but the Courier of Wednesday week says, this un-
hare en the minds of the Haitdressers' Society, seems to
er,. arisen from the fact, that in some instances the costs
a,s:Setarned. Now I can positively assert, that in every
ha;- ',fiat has come before the court in this way, the costs
tei; hn conviction, been returned ; but I believe the costs
°the e last information laid in this way must be borne by the
iof~of the court named in the Courier, he having the costs because he had promised to do so when the
(-44:Illations were laid, not having at that time received any

gr `ne latter there was no evidence whatever on which to

otli" ilar, the informant in each case stating, that he
tehved the witness had been kept back by the defendant.
trtiu e first case, Mr. Hall questioned the defendant as to the
of the statement, which he denied, and the witness
Notie the following day that no such influence had been
ctrl ;• in the latter case, the applicant stated his belief pre-
to bi the same way as in the former case, and also offered
tirt:e"duee a witness who would swear to the fact, if a short
was allowed, but was refused, although Mr. Hall has
kod• than once allowed the case to stand over until the de-
and Zus could produce a witness. With respect to Knight
Hail is Journeyman, the Courier says, we f 11y acquit Mr.
sttader this score, as we believe he was thoroughly per-

klore Mr. Hall should at the least have required something

he ams master, who was an interested party, inasmuch as
Ivasll.°4ld have to pay the fine if any was levied, when the fact
