"THE ALLOTMENT ACT."
Lerma XIII.
To ac Editor.

Sir,—May I *A your indulgence while I. with all
deference to Mr. Mudge's figures. point out that there
as difference f £lBl la. Si. between the sum liven
in my letter upon the coaritim of Beaminster en 1 that
given by Mr. Mudge. The reason for this difference
appears to ice to be that he tires figures of a remote
date, while mine are those of the latest published
reports of the Charity Commissioner..
Mr. Mu ige nuts the total at £lBO lie., but the later
figures are £341 12, 81.
In t.they respects he is eubstantially correct. I mod
p. lot ut that the reward yrs' promised for boding th•
lost charities; but Mr. Mudge only tells where they
ought to he, not where they are.
Shaftesbury is the next place that comes in our round.
There are some 18 different charities here, ltd,Plila
principally to educat,on and the support of aims
-
houses. The first is called
