TO THE WORSHIPFUL THE MAYOR OF LIVERPOOL.

Sirt,—A report of the Watch Committee was read yes-
terday in Council, and a statement made by you which
does me great injus' ice.
You will recollect that some weeks since when a para-
graph appeared in the public papers stating that the Watch
Committee, were inquiring into my conduct, as Head
Constable, 1 called upon you, (as chairman of the Watch
Committee,) either to contradict the report or apprise me
of the fact. You authorised the contradiction of the
report, and you assured me that my conduct was not the
object of inquiry, but that the inquiry originated in the
pr, sentation of my plan of police reform.
Hearing then, for the first time, that you were enquir-
ing into the efficiency of the force, I solicited permission
to be present. You refu ed ; but you, while in the chair,
and the committee sitting, promised that a copy of Blithe
evidence would be furnished ale. When the evidence was
concluded, I demanded the perusal of it. You refused.
On bearing that a suppressed report was to be now brought
forward, I again applied to you for a copy of the evidence,
It was refused. I asked for a copy of the report. It was
refused. Thus, Sir, you a magirrate, have been a party
to a cruel—a monstrous wrong. You heard evidence
against me in my absence. Yov gave me no opportunity
to rebut, refute, explain or qualify. In violation of every
rule of justice, honour, candour, and fair play, the Com-
mittee left me no alternative but to resign, and then pub•

lis4ted against me an official libel. I brought to you only
eigh months vince ei2ht years' experience, and a charac-
ter which never had been impeached. I 141 a lucrative
situation to take yours, and the result is before you. I
indulgein no vituperation; I will not, however provoked,
retort, as I mieht, to retaliation, but I leave my case to
the public; they will judge between you, and, Sir, your
obedient servant.
