remains of under-done leg of mutton cut into small neat slices, and seasoned appropriately, may be boiled in a basin with a lining of suet- crust, or in " plain casserole," which is in a mould thickly lined with mashed potatoes. The mould should be very well buttered, and when filled with the meat, moisten with some thick meat-gravy, and cover with more mashed potatoesMutton Casserole, Plain. Turn out on a dish, and have ready some more gravy to serve with it. Bake for half an hour. Mutton Chops. — Take chops from the best end of the neck, saw off about four inches from the top and the chinebones. Cut away the skin and gristle from the upper end of the bone, which will give the cutlet a round, plump appearance. Sprinkle each chop with salt and pepper, and dip them separately into dissolved butter. Strew with bread-crumbsMutton Chops, and broil over a clear slow fire, that the crumbs may not acquire too much colour ; or, oil each chop slightly, and broil over a brisk fire. A ti-immed mutton cutlet of five ounces in weight will require about six minutes to cook. Time, with bread-crumbs, seven or eight minutes. Mutton Chops (a la Soyer). — First select weU-fed mutton, but not too fat, and get the chops evenly cut ; if not, beat them into shape with the chopper. Not more than one-third of the chop should be fat. Put an ounce of butter or lard into the frjong-pan ; when it is hot and smoky, seize the chop at the bone end with a fork, and dip it for haK a minute into the fat, then turn on one side, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and, if liked, finely-chopped shallot or onion, and savoury herbsMutton Chops (a la Soyer). In three minutes turn, and serve the other side the same; equalise the cooking by frequent turning, but give the chop altogether not more than ten MUT (440) MUT minutes if thick, but less if a tldn one. A piece of garlic, if the llavour be approved, may be rubbed across the dish when hot, or it may be rubbed lightly across the chop. Serve with plain or maitre d' hotel butter. Probable cost.

Have ready-trimmed chops from the loin of mutton, dip each one separately into the dis- solved butter, and cover quickly with finely- prepared bread-crumbs, seasoned with pepper and saltMutton Chops, Grilled. Eroil on one side for three minutes, then turn on the other.
