a Report of a Speech purporting to have been delivered by
Alexander Smith, Jun., Esq., at a Meeting of the Conserva-
tive Electors of North Toxteth Ward, on the 13th ult., and
which Report contains the following paragraph:
" Here, then, this Municipal Bill created a monopoly of
magistrates, and these magistrates have *ail prostituted, for
they have been granting licenses to the detriment of the
publican, for nothing else than to uphold the political power
of the Town Council."

Resolved,—That the Clerks to the Magistrates be directed
to address a Letter to Mr. Alevander Smith, Jun., quoting
the words stated to have been used by him, and requesting
him to state whether these words, or words having the like
import, were used by him on that occasion.
Pursuant to the above Resolution, a Letter, of which the
following is a copy, was addressed, by the Clerks to the Ma-
gistrates, to Mr. Alexander Smith, Jun. :

" Liverpool Police Office, Ist Dec., 1840.
" SIR,—At a Meeting of the Magistrates, held this day,
their attention was directed to the Lieerpool Mail of the 14th
November last, in which is a Report of a Speech, purporting
to have been delivered by you, at a Meeting of the Conserva-
tive Electors of North Toxteth Ward, and in which report is
the following paragraph_

(Here follow's the paragraph quoted above.)
" We are directed to request, that you will inform us whe-
ther the above words, or words having the same import, were
used by you on that occasion.
" We are, Sir,

,
" Your most obedient servants,
" ELLIS and SHUTTLEWORTII.
" To Alexander Smith, jun., Esq."
This Letter was forwarded to Alexander Smith, Jun., on
the morning of the 2d instant ; and, on the morning of the
3d, Mr. Thomas Carson, Solicitor, waited upon Mr. Ellis,
one of the Clerks to the Magistrates, and made a verbal
communication to him, which he reduced into writing imme-
diately afterwards, and which is as follows :
" 3demer, 1840.
" Mr. Carson, Solicitor, called and sad e'c Mr.b Alexander
Smith has placed in my hands the Letter addressed to him by
you. He is acting under my advice, and no answer will be
returned.' Mr. Ellis then said, Am I to take this as an
answer from Mr. Smith ?' to which Mr. Carson replied,
You are to take from me as an answer that no answer to
that Letter will be returned.' "

This was immediately intimated, by the Magistrates'
Clerks, to the Mayor, who summoned another Meeting of the

Resolved, (Mr. David Hodgson dissenting,)
That Mr. Alexander Smith, Jun., having refused to answer
the application made to him by order of the last Meeting of
Magistrates, and having thereby declined to explain, to re-
tract, or to avow the offensive expressions reported to have
been uttered by him, the Magistrates here assembled, each
of them for himself, deem it to be their duty publicly to
declare, that the charge made against them, in the language
attributed to Mr. Smith by the Liverpool Mail, is false and
calumnious.
Resolved,

That the above Resolution be signed by the Mayor on be-
half of this Meeting, and, with the proceedings on this subject,
be inserted once in each of the Liverpool Newspapers.
(Signed) THOS. BOLTON, Mayor.
