Tax POOR-Law BOARD AND THE PARIaII OP Sr.
PANCRAP.—Yesterday, at the meeting of the board of
directors of the poor of the parish of St. Pancru, Mr.
Churchwarden Baker in the chair, Mr. G. W. F. Cook, the
vestry clerk, read the following official communication:—
. Poor-law Beard,Whitehall, 17th April, 1852. Ste,—l am
directed by the Poor-law Board to acanowledge the receipt
of your letter of the 7th instant, in which, with reference
to theirs of the 31st ult., you state that Mr. John Henry
Eaton ceased to be muter of the workhouse of the parish
of St. Pancras, on the 25th tilt., when Mr. John Hadrell
was appointed by the vestry to succeed him. With refer-
ence to this statement, the board deem it right to point
out to you that Mr. Eaton, not having resigned his
office as muter of the workhouse of the parish of St.
Pancras, and not having been removed therefrom
by the Poor-law Board, he has not ceased to
hold that office, and is still, in point of law,
the muter of the said workhouse. The board (as Inti-
mated in their letter to you of the 31st ult.) had intended
to take the requisite steps in the Court of Queen's Bench,
to enforce due observance of their orders in regard to this
matter ; but in consequence of a communication which they
have received from Sir Benjamin Hall, they have consented
to suspend those proceedings for the present. The board
enclose herewith, for the information of the vestry, a copy
of Sir B. Hall's letter, and of their reply.-1 am, sir, your
obedient servant (signed), Cot' RYVIAT, Secretary."—Mr.
Cook stated that he was present during the debate upon the
second reading of the Poor-law Continuance Bill. Lord
Dudley Stuart did not oppose the second reading, but
would introduce a clause in committee exempting St.
Pancras and all such parishes from the operation of the bill.
