The reason why so long a period has elapsed without any,
notice having been taken of this matter is, that (in order to
give an official contradiction) it was considered better to defer
doing so until the monthly meeting of the Teachers, which did
not take place until this week. By inserting this note in your

Liverpool, March 12,1853

MR. HuGn NEILL, the eminent surgeon of this town,
has had an attack of influenza, which at one time
threatened to be fatal, but he is now rapidly recovering,
and starts to day for Cheltenham, where he will remain
about a fortnight. He expects to resume his profes-
sional duties the first week in April.
ROYAL DISH.— Mr. Morrish, of the Merchants'
Dining Rooms, has publicly announced that this day he
will dress a baron of beef, from one of the magnificent
heifers bought at Messrs. Littledale and Torr's sale ; and
several saddles of mutton. This will be a rare combina-
tion of quantity and quality.

day) a summons was served, as above stated, on Mr.
Hornblower, to appear before the magistrates to answer
the complaint of the officer, at half-past two o'clock yes-
terday. The evidence of the officer was entirely disproved
by a gentleman of high standing, who bore testimony to
the constable's insolence and Mr. Hornblower's forbear-
ance. On the case being dismissed, Sir Geo. Stephen
applied to the magistrates for the committal of the officer
on the charge of perjury, but as the original case
had to be heard before the Watch Committee.
they (the magistrates) declined to interfere until
the Watch Committee's decision was given. At
three o'clock Sir George Stephen appeared before the
Watch Committee, but they declined to interfere, alleging
that the case had been already adjudicated upon by the
magistrates. [We understand that the matter will not be
allowed to rest here.]
