several of the most eminent Physicians of London and Paris, I
was induced by a friend to make a trial of your liquid, called
" Serjeant's Lotion." I think it in gratitude due to you to say,
in less than an hour from the time I applied the Lotion. I felt "e.
the most pleasant and indescribable relief. The immediate
effect was to produce a short but tranquil and most refreshing

I might remain months in my deplorable situation. ca.
Fortunately your remedy was made Known to me, or I might

TO THE EDITOR OF TH

LIVERPOOL

SIR,—As AGENT in LIVERPOOL to the WEST
of ENGLAND FIRE-OFFICE, my attention has been
directed to the following paragraph in the Standard of Mi.

THE WEST OF

" CHARGE AGAINST THE SERVANTS Or
ENGLAND INSURANCE COMPANY. A serious charge came
before Mr. Rushton, in the course of the morning, implicating
the conduct of the men in charge of one of the engines belong-
ing to the above company. From what fell from Mr. Dowling,
who appeared in support of the charge, it appears that the
drivers of the West of England engines, with the assistants
engaged about them, sometimes interrupt the operations of the
regular fire-brigade on occasions where their'united services
should rather be called forth. On Saturday morning, there
was a fire in Blackstock-street, at which the men attached to
the brigade were engaged. One of the West of England
engines drove up and planted their branch hose full against one
of the men who was standing at a window_
. .

the fire

which was raging in another part of the burning premises,
Upon one of the brigade, Serjeant Ilassal, interfering, he was
knocked down and his ancle was dislocated. They were also
charged with damaging an engine. The offenders will probably
be summoned before the bench."

In justice to the firemen of the West of England, who are
entirely under my control and authority, I feel bound to pro-
test against the whole of the above statement. I need scarcely
call your attention to the injustice of forming' a conclusion
upon an ex-parte statement made by Mr. Dowling', and which
has as yet been followed by no summons or intimation to our
men to appear. Any statement made by Mr. Dowling, as an
aspect, but when he speaks in

.)e'd character a

01.1“ IL Is quite
another matter.
If the police venture to bring the matter to an issue, I shall
be prepared toshow that every part of the preceding statement
is untrue, that the whole matter arncp frnn, +h.

at use irum tne aggression of
the fire-police, and that that conduct was only part of a system
followed by the police with a view to suppress the West of
England engine. lam in possession of correspondence from
Mr. Linton Hughes, the servant of the Watch Committee, in
which they refuse the West of England access to the plugs,
upon the ground that it is desirable that the fire-police alone
should have the charge of the extieguisbriwilt of farm if the
authorities of the town are really of opinion that this is expe.
man+ a 1...

12 8 me power of enforcing their views ? Can any one doubt that
14 0 they refrain from doing so because the legislature would think
16 0 with the public, that an office, which insured a very large pro-
-10 6 portion of property in Liverpool, and which has kept an esta-
-14 0 blishment for the protection of that property for five and
16 0 twenty years, has a right to continue to protect itself, in spite
16 6 of the petty jealousy of local authorities ? I could produce
16 6 testimony after testimony, to show that the activity of our
24 0 firemen may put the police to shame that they are almost
24 0 always first at fires, and that they behave best when they get
24 0 there. I could enumerate to you numbers of instances of ill-
:. ptg. feeling shown by the fire police to us, for which I blame not the
.. d. men personally, but their superiors, who think, but think very
14 0 falsely, that by such proceedings they will put us down. I can
16 0 produce respectable witnesses in abundance to show that, on
_ _ •

18 0 tins very occasion, the conduct of our men was exemplary,
20 0 while that of the police was so shameful as to excite the indig-
-12 0 nation of all the bystanders. In fine, lam ready to meet any
14 0 charge which may be brought against our establishment, if it
18 0 is fairly tried ; and upon that subject I will make one com-
-20 0 ment. This question is not a new one. Similar complaints
have been more than once before Mr. Rushton. He has taken
a strong, and, I think, a very mistaken view, of the claims of
thepolice. I do not hesitate to say that he entertains very strong
.ozen. prejudices against me and my men. If lam not misinformed,
he expressed such prejudices yesterday in very strong lan-
guage. lam not imputing to Mr. Rushton any misconduct or
a. d. any wrong motive in the formation of his opinions ; but Ido
210 mean to say, as strongly as lam able, that he has prejudged
4 6 this matter, and that he is filled with prejudices which utterly
a 6 unfit him for the trial of this issue, if brought into court, or
6 o any other between the same parties, and which, I may add,
6 0 would be abundantly sufficient to support a challense to 14
7 0 juryman.
4 6 1 would, therefore, in conclusinn. that, as ther

2e are
4 6 many other magistrates in Liverpool as competent to decide
6 0 this matter as Mr. Rushton, it would be both good taste and
gentlemanly feeling in him to retire from it altogether, and
The leave it to be so decided. I trust that you will see that I am
making and intending no imputation nn Mr R.,.}...-w. . I ......

simply saying that he is in the position of a juryman n'lio has
tried former causes between the same parties en the same ques-

tionable person. Jurymen are challenged successfully every
