CHARGE AGAINST int. HEATH, THE RELIEVING OFFICER:

Mr. Inspector Horn, in cpmpm;, with Polide-constgile
7A4, attended by Mr. Raffles' direction to bring before
the board Mr. Heath's conduct to a pauper named
Margaret Duff.
_-

,J •
Mr. Horn said—l was directed by Mr. Raffles, the
stipendiary magistrate; on Tuesday last, to attend here
to-day, in reference to a destitute Taman named Duff,'
who was brought_ to the rideN'vell for safety. The
officer, in .whoie Chttiie she 4tis, stated that he fouud
her sitting on some steps ; she iViti 6,4 anti said she
had no place to go to. He took her down to Mr.
Holmes, at the Workhouse, and he told him that he
must. go to Mr. Heath and get an order. The officer
went to Mr. Heath's house, and after waiting there till
nearly twelve o'clock, . Mr. Heath came in under the
influence of drink. He refused to give her an order,.
and said the officer might take her hoMe and live with
her if he liked. The officer took her and locked her in
Bridewell. The. followinrr morning_ she, brought
- -
before Mr. Raffles, arid he directed her. ,to be taken to
Seth agahL She *LS taker{ to Mr. Heath, and
he said he knew his duty and didn't care tor Lie
magistrate. •
George Love, police-officer 734, was then examined.
Ho said---4. before ten o'clock on Monday night,
I saw this woman sitting on some steps in Smithdowu-
lane, crying, and in a destitute condition. Her
name' is Margaret Duff. , She had no money, nor any
place, to go, to. took, tier to the VP;orlihotiie,
and I was there told to take her to Mr. Heath, the
relieving-officer. I took her to his residence ; he was
out at the time, and came in a little before twelve d'clock.

I was waiting on the steps when he came up, and he
asked me what was I doing there. I told him this was
a destitute woman, and I had picked her up, crying on
sonic steps in Smithdoivn-lane.' He told me he had
nothing, to do sith IN wrid sE44 slie.Ais . enough to
provide fol. herself. I asked him whether sboilld leate
her in the streets, and he replied that he did not care
where I left her—l could go and live with her if I

liked. .I am sure those are the exact Words. Some 1
females belonging to the next house were present. He
told me to get off the steps. He smelt ,of rum, but lie
was not drunk nor thesv,orse, for littor. I thou took
her to Jordan-street .Bride Well, and lOcked her up. pn
Tuesday morning she was brodgfit befdre Mr. Rad.- ;
.
and she told WA that she had lived for tWelye years in
Wolfe-street, and was born in West Derby Workhouse,
She told Mr. Heath that also on the previous night
She also said her mother died in Tirolfe-street. mr.
Raffles requited irie to go to lir. Heath =t went and
found him in his office. I told him that I came to get
an order to take this poor girl to the Workhouse. Re
said he would not give me one. I told him thatriktr.
Raffles had directed me to him ; and he said he did not
care for Mr. Raffles or me either, and that he knevi his
duty. He assigned* reason for his refusal.
Mr. Heath l4avitx eipresSed 140 wish to plit some
questioris the Witness, the following replies • were
given. He first asked me what. I wanted on his steps.
He did ask the woman where she had been living, „d
she said in Wolfe-Street. She said also that she had
been a servant in Robertson-street, add that -she had
applied to Mr. Willianis, add lie directed her to mr.
Heath. Mr. Heath said he would riot give her an
order. I did .not hear him tell her that if she hired in
Robertson-street her; application mast he made to Mr.
Williams. After Mr. Heath had. totd me-, .that he
would not give her an order; and that I Miglit go and
live with her, t did say, Comb along, I'll lock her up
as a vagrant." He then said, " She is big enough to
take care of herself." I did not address any observation

to the people who were standing around, but they cried
shame on Mr. Heath. I did not knock at the door a
second time to ask where Mr. WilHalts lived. I don't
recollect Mr. liefitts saying, dn tuesday morning, that

if the woman lived in Wolfe-street that was a different
statement Worn what she hid made on the
Williams.revious
night. He did not direct the to apply to Air. W
Mr. Moss—Who were these people id the street that
were crying shame
Officef—They were the next door neighbours.
By Mr, Heath—l did not tell your wife, before you
came home, that I had once taken a person to the
Toxteth-park Workhouse, and had given my Wrong
number. I ani quite sure that .I never took a person to
the Workhouse for 'admittance. The only time I was,
ever there was with another officer, helping him to take
a sick man. On that occasionJ stopped at the gate. The
man did not gain admission; and we had to take him
away. Neither of us were asked for our numbers,
know nothing more of this woman, but that found her

in'the street.
Margaret Jane Duff wag next examined. She had
been living between Heathlstreet and Warwick-street
ever since she was born. Her mother died soon after
Christmas. She was the only child living. Her father
lived in Wavertree-road. Since her mother's death she
had been at service most of the time, and had done
washing. The last situation she had was in Sussex-
street, which she left two months after Christmas. She
did not try to get another situation, because she was not
well. She went to live with a, person named Dennis, in
Robertson-street. On Friday night and on Saturday
night last she slept in Robertson-street ;on Sunday
night in Wolfe-street. On Monday morning she tried
to get an order. for admission to the Workhouse from
Mr. Williams, and he told her she must go to Mr.
Heath. She had never been in the Workhouse since
she was born in the West Derby Workhouse. Her
father was in regular work, and was now married.
When she went to Mr. Heath's office he was oat, and
she came away. She did not hear the conversation
between Mrs. Heath and the officer, but she did hear
what passed between Mr. Heath and the officer. The
officer said he had a desolate girl there, and had been
to get an order. •
The witness corroborated the officer's statement as to
what took place.
Mr. Heath—Will you tell these gentlemen that it is
not possible to produce your mother in this room a
living woman ?
Witness, (crying)--I don't know. I got word that
she was dead. I was going up to see her at the Work-
house and I met a person who told me she was dead and
buried. I have not seen her since I saw her at the
Workhouse at Christmas, and I believe she is dead:
Mr. Heath—l can produce the mother in half an
hour. She is known to Mr. Barnett, Mr. Potts, Mr.
Williams, and myself.
Mr. Williams—I was certainly very much surprised
to hear the girl say her mother was dead.
Nr, Dion- thought that the question should be settled

no longer fit •to be -14tien't, iftrel if the I were
thPI, a lie ift. would inaleXilf/i7irge the whOl
of her statement.'
MIS: Heath's 'statement was
po IL.-
officer came Ur See house on. Monday night, and 'asked
whether Mr. Heath Itrai at horne. She said he was
not, but, was expected every She conversed
Iwith.the.officer for about half an hour. • She first aced
} him about a little boy who had been brought to,theit
house some time.sinee. The officer said that a police-
man bad got We; which. was ,offered as a reward.
He then said that the peoMe at the lodge of the Work-
house did not like to be disturte4 'he taken a
little girl up a few weeks ago that had been lo's't; and he
rang several times before any notice Was taken. it
was between one and two o'clock in the morning, and
at last, when the woman 'did come, she asked why he
was ringing so hard, and threatened to report hitn.
lie told her (Mrs. Heath), " I gave my wrong number
and off I came." When Mr. Heath came in, he asked
the officer where the woman was found, and asked the
girl where she had slept the night before ; she first said
' nowhere, and • then said she had slept, in Robertson-
street, with Mrs. Dennis. Mr. Heath then said,
"'dell, if that is the case, I have nothing at all to do
with you ; it does not belong to' my district." ,The
police-officer then said to the girl, Come along, I will
take you to Bridewell." Mr. Heath replied, " Well,
you can take her Where you like if you think she is not
Capable of taking case of herself; but I refer you to
1114 Williams."
The Pedoer said Mts.. Heath was not present during
the conversation =41,2f.1 Led jitst related. She went from
die door to make the beds..
The second par. (A. this examination, noW eagle
and the 'r ,noteworthy BttlitreiiC4l was th 6 reouriection
of the dead moihel MI.. Heath—a feat which' ho,
accomplished in the inciedthif sh'oet period of ten
minutes. At the end of that tinie; e"` neiddle-aged
woman was ushered into the room. She said :*--My
name is Margaret Duff. I was sent to the West Derby '
Workhouse on the 11th of January last, and I remained
in the hospital there until Good Friday, when I was
removed. Since then I have been living in Mann-
street. I have one boy living, besides the girl who is
outside. 1 sas my daughter last on Monday morning.
On Siiriday fight slie sleet at rtiy house in Mann-street.
The cumiteeker—i think, gentlemen, we may now
terminate this inquiry, (dear, hear.)
Inspector riorri and the police officer accordingly left
the room. *-.
The dnalitiLex—You will observe, gentlemen, that
the officer has to-day rilddieed the statement he is:
repotted to have made at the Police-ounit.. According
to the statement in the papers he charged Mr. 1116th...
with being drunk. Now, whatever difference of opinion
there may be apioltAst us as to the way in which Mr.
Heath performs hie thftiesi there is one thing which
we must be perfectly agreed, tint that, is 4 that he is a
perfectly sober man. (Hear, hear.) And erlicTit first saw
this report I said I would not believe one word of the
officer's statement if he adhered to saying that Mr.
Heathwas drunk. 'Yo-day he says Mr. Heath smelt of
rum; but was not drunk, or worse for liquor, therefore
that charge was disposed of. Suspecting that the charge
a
Might be broiight forward again, I went this morning
to the person With whont Mt Heath took supper,
and th!tit g:entlonan told ine that he was perfectly
sober. filen one other remark that I must
make'. tad. Seek sotry to end thal the police
officers are so.very ready to illteriere With' ohr ielieving
officers. in the discharge of their duty, and that the latter
do know more about the circumstances and situation of
the parties applying for relief, we have an example
to-dat-Whai ortar officer produced the mother. Ido
hope acid believe that after to=day, except in very urgent
cases, the police elders will cease to interfere with our
ofdeera iri the discharge of their duties, and if they do
continue to interfere iii the *ay the haVe done, I, for
one, shall pay very little attention to it and such steps
as they may take._ - - ; •
Mr; :Moss---eThen you think that _Mr. Heath
is
entirely whitewashed. The great question, in my
opinion, is, how far-.he was justified in refusing relief to
a girl at that time of night whatever her character
might have been. Although Ido think that our offi-'.
cers ought not- to be interfered With, still there are
histatities viheri the duly is imperative. The officer sees
this girl; he knows ke;thing of and he takes her to
the proper. authority, and then to file brid'eWelt
Mr, HEATH—Whk could she not have gone to her
mother ?
Mr. Moss—But Mi. Heath did not know at the time
but that she had no mother.
Mr. loriNs asked whether the Governor of the Work-
house had power o t admit a person to the WorkhoUse
without an order.
• „
A lkinpri;mi replied that he had not. ..

were to do with Maigaret lane
Mr.'!Jehns moved, and Mr. Leyland 3 ccfuded,that
the application be dismissed.
. • The motion was put from the chair and carried, there
being only two against it. •
The CHAIRMAN said be was surprised to find that
there was still a man in the police force •who would give
evldenee'iii the nrisatisfattpty manner that this man had
given his evideitee lefctethern.' He Would iYot believe
a word he said. - • .
Mr. HEATH requested that he might be furnished with
a copy of the officer's statement, which had been taken.
down in writing, as he was prepared to prove that
the denial of the conversation with Mrs. Heath, abciut
giving a false number to the person at the Workhouse,
was tffittde;
,jzle (Mr. Heath) would bring the matter
before Major Greig.
This concluded the business We meeting:

Mr. THOMAS alma saiu that, with referenceoie

which he wiand to iefer to, and it . was the £2O which
had been given to the for the exlra labour to
which he had been put chitirig thse ,past year. He
wished to know what the extra work ?gad been ? Had
the secretary shown more ability or zeal dial/. they
pected, and had he done more than he oug'it to hafidi!rne
as secretary of the society ? He would like to knot,/
how many members of the committee were present
when the sum was voted.—The Secretary, after referring
to his books, stated that there were eight mem'bers
present.--Xr. Carter then went on to say teat he was
surprised such a thing,' should hate tteen suggested at so
small a meeting, andle thought,. had sett% a thei,older
melnbers been present, it would not have heed dote.
He thought it was establishing a bad. precedent, as- the
secretary could in future alvektys refer back to' this. case.
He concluded by mining that that pert of the minutes
be referred back to the committee.
Mr. ATKINSON said he was present at the meeting
referred to, and although he had not the power of voting
(being a trustee) of Controlling their actions,, still he

THE LIVERPOOL FLORAL ' AMY, tIIORTI-

CULTURAL EXHIBITION.

Tlte Liverpool Floral and Horticultural Society's
third, did far this season the last, exhibition of fruit,
flowers, and vegetailite's; was held yesterday on the usual
spot; in the field attach'e'd to the Botanic Gardens,
Wavertree. It h'ai often been tettigficul that a cloddy
day I'4 the most fpoirable for . a floral display ; if
that be true, YetteidaY Was alt that the rattans;
and promoters could hire desiled;' fir clod& oat--
hang the sky, and sunshine and lain' kept eitiling the
whole of the day at commendable distances: The
gardens wore a premature autumn garb. Lellei Were
strewed upon the ground, and those on the trees were
tinctured With red, proclaiming the approach of winter.
The beds of flowers rejoiced, however, in brilliant blOs--
seals; and, considering the unusual lateness of the
season, the herbactons plants with which the gardens.
teem! 4e116' deliglitful in their Varied hues. The tent
was large ati corthn'odions.: The doors were thrown
open to the public kg- the timid holtr; two' o'clock, when
the visitors numbered some litddricds, Ophfirining to
increase to' several thousands at tile' dose of
the exhibition. The autumn show is, We &fide,
at all times better attended than those of the
spring and summer. Be that as it may, the
number of visitgUts on this occasion doubled, if not
trebled, the number who bonourad the last display
with their piesence. The exhittition was, on the whole,
a sireces ; some departnient it certainly excelled any
held previclifslY iti :LiVerpbol or the. neigliblorliood.
Still; the flowers told an mipleaSanf tale of the weather
for_ the last two months. The blossoms were not so
numerous, and not nearly so rich In dila:frm, size, and
general appearance as formerly. Eight stieeinfehs' of
stove plants exhibited by the Secretary, Mr. Leathei-
harrow, were handsome, and• commanded the chief
prizes. 'The ericas were pretty good. Mr. George Davies,
the nurseryniarf, owned the largest number of ericas,
as well as heaths, bell,shaped, which
.were also very
gederally kichilied. The geraniums were certainly
etiperior to., any ever exhibited by the society in this
season of the' year.; and amongst the fuchsias, of .which
there was a large distliq;_theie:Were specimens excelling
in splendour; variety, and coniVidatidds of colours. The
collections of ferns were really beautiful. Mr.; Isaac
Hadwin showed some choice specimens of orchidaceet';
and Messrs. J. Kellock & Co. and Mr: Charles Rylanec
of hollyhocks. The latter, both in number and grace,
could not we think be excelled ; and • our opinion was
eeondedrby the unceasing admiration with which they
Were beheld =by the stream of visitors which seemed to
haVe oz. transition from the blossom to the fruit
is natural; add iilth the fruit on the present occasion
commendation should really ceatime&e: Tice display of
yesterday has never been surpassed and flohnhis it Would
appear that the weather that does not nourish fhellosota
is favourable to the growth, the general development;
and the ripening of the grape, the apple, and the peach.
A gentleman who has been in the nursery business for
aid htst forty-four years, assured us that he never saw a
btiOh of grapes approaching in size and richness to that
eilalifefiat the Hortionititral show in the Botanic Gar-
dens yesterctit; It *t as nearly eight pounds in weight.
Each individual gra'flei; thifi all in the duster col-
lectively, were large, beantiftilly developed; and to all
appearance excellent in other respects, The bunch
was exhibited by Mr. W. SaeksOri, M.P., who carried
Away the chairman's- prize and several others awarded
by the committee. The chairman's settond prize was
awarded to Mr. Hardman Earle, whose bunch in all
respects, save size, 'tag -equal to that belonging to
gentleniari who Was fortutiate enough to win the
first prize. The spetinieri of the' white grapes exhibited
hy._7lFr. Jackson waS also_ excellent. A remarkably fine
culinary apple wag exhibited by Mr' Charles Rylance.
Every other species of frifit -fin of the first quality, and
the vegetables were good and in great variety.
