Rabbi Meir Tsipser (1815-1869) Rabbi of Székesfehérvár (Hungary) and from 1858, Rabbi of Rechnitz (Rohonc) was famed for his pamphlet Mei HaShelach (Ofen 1853) in which he toiled to prove the legality of a divorce he had arranged which had become subject to objection. This pamphlet was refuted by Rabbi Gottlieb Fisher [who later became Rabbi of the city's small Orthodox community], in his book Delatayim U'Vriach", Vienna 1856. (For details of this polemic, see Y. Katz, The Rift which Never Healed, Jerusalem 1995, pages 65-68).
