A CORRECTION.
TO THK.HDITOB OP■ THH LTTXIIiTOJf TIXBB.
Sib, notice in your issue of Saturday hit, the account, of on accident whiohhappened in the View Hill school ground*, and beside* not being true the report is calculated to prejudice timid persons against the gaqae of cricket. The account was true excepting the part which stated that " the ball hit him on the leg and broke it just under the knee.”' The fact is the ball did not strike him at all | it did not even come very near him j but the lad, in turcing round ; with a jerk, fractured his leg a little ibdre the knee. Ike sentence I . have quoted suggests very rough usage of the ball, which is never allowed on the school : playground. By kindly inserting thia.ybp will dear all blame from the cricketing' and the management of the school play.—l am., in.. J. UTHIZBA ! Teacher View Hill Sohdol.' West Oxford, Nov. 19.
