ABUSE OF CHARITABLE FUNDS. rUlthirlt 8./TRACTS FROM MR. PAMPHLET. Thq following note, in the way of episode, relates an amusing anecdote : It is remarkable that the Pollee Committee have complained, in their Third Benoit, of the same disposition in the Home De partment to grasp at patronage not vested in it by law. This breach of an Act of Parliament; sayithe Report, 'on the part of the Secretary of State, has produced the result which might have been anticipated. One of the persons so appointed by Lord Sidmouth, was a worthless abandoned character, a Jew bail, who was imprisoned in the King's Bench, and not being able to per form his duty, was turned out of his situation ; he is described by the chief clerk as a man who hired himself out as a fraudulent ball, and was never known at the office till he came to be sworn in. Your Committee beg leave to observe, that this interfe rence of the Secretary of State is not warranted by the law which regulates the Police. and will, no doubt, if persevered in, be attended with the worst effects. Of the four persons netni nated by Lord Sidmouth, one declined his appointment, ano ther was turned out of the office, and the remaining two were confirmed in their situations, in defiance of the proper remon strance of the Magistrates upon the subject.' On the venerable Classical Establishments Mr. Brougham remarks: Accordingly, we were severely reproved for pushing our in quiries into establishments, destined, it was said, for the educa tion of the upper classes, while our instructions confined us to schools for the lower orders. Unfortunately, we no sooner looked into any of those institutions, than we found that this objec tion to our jurisdiction rested upon the very abases which we were investigating, and not upon the real nature of the founda tion : for as often as we examined any establishment, the pro ductiot of the charter or statutes proved that it was originally destined for the education of the * poor. One free school for the instructing, teaching, maintenance and education of Nos Cush ing:4 and Scholars,' says the charter of the Hospital and Free Grammar-School in the Charter-house. Atispera et indigents: xi:dares,' say the statutes of Winchester College—' Ununs Col kgiuns prepetuuni pauperuns et indigentium schaarius Cantabri pa, et qusddam Caesium perpetual,: aliorum pauperism a indigos timmsch4ariens Kenna; say the statutes which founded King's College, Cambridge, and Eton College; and they further require the scholars to take a solemn oath, that they have not five mares (31. 65.) a year to spend. The Westminster statutes expressly prohibit any boy being elected on the foundation, who has, or at his father's death will inherit a patrimony of above lei.' The same poverty is the qualification required by the statutes of Tri nity College, Cambridge: the scholars are there called patentees, and in choosing them, where other merits are equal, the pre ference is ordered to be given inopis. In choosing the fellows of St. John's College, a preference is prescribed in favour of the most deserving, 'et inter ha illis gad indigentiores freeing I for scholars, the bones are directed to be preferred, and an oath of poverty, similar to that of F.aton and Winchester, is solemnly taken. There is no doubt that some other Institutions, as St. Paul's School, and St. Saviour's in Southwark, were intended for the rich ; the former by manifest Implication was founded for them only ; the latter by the,,express terms of the foundation was meant for rich, and poor indifferently ; but in the original statutes of the great schools and colleges, as far as we examined them, there was to be found no-provialon except for the poor. I presume, however, that I have said enough to justify the Committee for venturing to consider those great establishments as within its jurisdiction., But situated as they are in the eyes of all the world, administered by highly gifted personages, au ' perintended by visitors of exalted station, it might be deemed su perfluous to exercise, with respect to them, the inquisitorial power which our brstructions gave us. Now, whether bcnefielally or not, I have no right tit deter mine ; but certainly the fact . * that great deviations have beep made from the osigfnal foundation in all thew venerable es. talitisbatuut On the motion of adjournment, Mr. R. Jskortosi rose, in order to put one or two questions to the Chair, which appeared to him very materially to affect both the character and the interests of their body. They related to that alarming increase id the number of cases of forgery, which had so powerfully and naturally engaged the consideration of the pub. ht.—the sensation, indeed, which it had excited, had some time since led to the appointment of a commis: Ma% containing MAWS of high authority, and the 'object of which was to devise the means of More efs feet tell preventing this offence. Although its pros ceedings had in some degree incurred the reproach of nuttiness, he trusted that the persons of whom it was composed had not been deficient either in vigi lance or activity, and that the delay which had taken place was attributable solely to the difficulties of their task. Ile doubted not that t ey were deeply impress sed with the consciousness, that the life of a fellow creature hung on every hour of their deliberations-- (hear, hear.) It could not be concealed that those who are defrauded by offence of- this description, were chiefly persons in the humbler classes of tociety, persons whose want of education and of ability to prosecute rendered them the easy subject of depre• dation. No man who looked at the public ne*spa• pers could avoid seeing how important it was that the conduct of the Bank should be fairly understood, as it respected the mode of conducting their prose• cations for the forgery of their notes. It was well known that a practice had been recently adopted of extending a comparative remission of punishment in particular cases, by indicting for felony within the benefit of clergy, and subjecting the offender to 14 years transportation. This was a change of prin , ciple, and it was desirable that the public mind should be satisfied as to the manner in which that change operated, and the nature of the discretion front which it originated. His object, therefore, in now addressing himself to their notice, was to call for explanation upon two points : the first of which was whether the determination relative to prosecuting capitally was left in the breast of one individual, of exercised upon the joint deliberation of the whole body of Directors? The responsibility attending such a trust was one of trembling anxiety, for it had been declared even from the Bench, on a late occasion, that capital punishment did not appear to have M. .rninistied the number of offences. The other point to which he wished to draw their attention was ere on which it was also necessary that no misunder standing should prevail. He was aware that the agency of those who were employed in the work of discovering and tracing these offences was initispen. sable. The information he desired was, whether the distribution and apportionment of the rewards bestowed on them were intrusted to the discretion of an individual, or administered by the deliberate judg ment of the Board ? The Governor, G. DORRIEN, Esti. observed, that it had been publicly stated in another place, that the discretion with regard to both the points urged by the Learned Gentleman, was exercised upon the ful• lest deliberation by a Committee of Directors sre. cially appointed for that purpose. Mr. It. JACKSON declared himself perfectly sari:. fled with this communication. His only object was to prevent the public mind from being . misled ; for there were those who, being unfriendly to their whole system and institution, were disposed to avail them= selves of this particular subject, in order to raise a general prejudice against them. There existed out. of doors a belief that the increased circulation. of Bank notes had been productive of a great increase of the crime of forging and counterfeiting money. He had no knowledge whether this was or was not the case ; but the only way of taking a correct view of the question was by examining . the catalogue of prosecutions for coining counterfeit money, when a metallic currency was the circulating medium. if be might offer a word of advice, he should recom mend it strongly to the Directors to act in concerti with the Home Department, in every rase of this nature, to obtain a previous knowledgo of its opinion, and thus relieve themselves of too weighty a respon sibility. If he had the honour of a seat among them, he should constantly urge the necessity of demanding the interference of the Home Department, so that every prosecution might have the double sanction a the Bank and the Government, and might not appear, as now too many were inclined to think it, the vin dictive act of a partial and interested body. Whatever change should take place in their policy, it was in cumbent on them to be firm and unrelated in their adherence to an uniform system. The science of pc. lice was perhaps yet in its infancy, and might o::* day be considered to be of as much dignity-and im portance as any other branch of political or Live study. Till that time should arrive, they w ere under the necessity of abiding steadily by one set cf principles, in order to avoid the hazard of seeing London converted into a vast academy of crime, and a deluge of offences and frauds committed which no law and no exertions would be sufficient to eontrid.
