THE RELIEVING OFFICER OP ST. MArrginr.
BETHNAL-OWN.

It will be remembered that the Poor-law Board
instituted an inquiry into the conduct of Mr. Chriatey, eau
of the relieving officers of Beehnel.green, in respect tee
woman named Caroline Janos, whose death was said ie
have been accelerated b 7 his neglect. The decision of lh
beard has bean oommuenated to the guardian:
"It is evident," writes Mr. C. Gilpin, " although the
fact is denied by the relieving officer, that he used cone
and improper language towards Caroline Hahne, one of de
neighbours in attendance upon the deceased, as he IN
leaving the house, and the board have reason bilk
to ,
that his conduct in other remote was not, so tampon,
and forbearing as it ought to have been. The board art,
however, usable to arrive as the conclusion that the doll
of Caroline James was accelerated in any sensible degree h,
the course pursued by the relieving officer ; and, hone
regard to the fact that she was afterwards takes and mac.
tamed by her mother, and that her funeral expenses vet
afterwards paid by her brother and sister, they thin ti,„t
the circumstances of the case are not such as to raisin
extreme a step as that of requiring his resignation,
cially when they take into consideration the length of !dr.
Chantey's services, and the deliberate opinion expressed le
the guardians, that in this instance there is great exten.
lion of his conduct. The board at the same time meads
that Mr. Christen is censurable for his °enjoins to ton,
dm inquiry into the circumstances of the deceased, oath,
for using the very improper expressions already referred te.
He ought also to have known that, if he considered the de.
ceased a tit object for the workhouse, he was not jnitibe'
in attaching to his offer any such condition as that siren;,
alluded to. This is not the first occasion on which cots.
planate have been preferred against Mr. Christey, and tie
board request that, in conveying to him their decian
the case, the gasohol, will remind him that if any Ono
neglect or omission in the discharge of his duty eerie.
bliabed against him hereafter, he will not be allowed to re.
talc his office."

Mr. COUSIN moved, yesterday, that Mr. Christ*, la
called in, and cautimed abouc using more mild and tams.,
rate language.
Mr. Chnstey having been summoned,

The CHAnuisx uid that the board Were called opts%
reprimand him for the unseemly lingwe which be hid
used towards the friends of the deceased. Both lawn,
was most improper to use towards the poor, and hs duttki
be more mild in future.

Mr. CHRIRTIT solemnly denied that he ever used the
pugs imputed to him. No one ever heard such sloth
pees his lip..
