CHARGE OF CRUELTT AGAINST A UNION SCHOOL-
ASTEK.—At the meeting of the Board of Guardians of
the I :tri,ll of St. Dliarylebone, held yesterday in the board-
room adjoining the workhouse, Mr. Edington called the
attention of the board to the cue of William Ellam, aged
13, who had been struck over the head with a walking-stick
by the eeleiolmaater. lie was induced to bring the case
under the notice of the board, as it was stated that the
mother of the boy had taken out a warrant against the
schoolmaster, and that the case was to come before the ma-
gistra.e on Tuesday. Ills attention was called to the
case be Mr. Wheclan, the master of the work-
house. • Mr. Gillam, the house-surgeon, stated that
the boy was brought to the infirmary at two
o'clock on Sunday. De was then ble,,hug from •
wound on the fade of the bead, and there were marks of
blood on his clothes. Re removed the hair from the temple,
and applied a plaister. Ile was of opinion that the 110111111,
which w.O not a severe one, was inflicted with a jagged
stick. A cane would have caused a wale, instead of a
eoutused wound.—The matron stated that she took the boy
to the infirmary on Sunday. He bled a great deal from a
wound on the side of his head. She thought he must hare
lost half a pinto( blood.—Wm. Main, a diminutive-log/4n
boy, stated that he was 13 can of age ; that the wound as
his head war occasioneda blow which was inflicted
by the schoolmaster wit a walking stick on St.
day, for laughing with other boys. The Khali.
master stated that be bad ordered him out d
the ranks, and upon his refusing to obey the order he did
strike him, but it was by accident that he struck him oval
the head.-31r. Jacob Bell, 31. P.: The blow is stated to'
have been struck with a walking stick.—Schoolmaster It
was • small switch ; I have not got a walking stick.— Mr.
Bell It was contrary to the rule of the school to punish a
boy at the moment au offence was committed, and in the
absence of the master of the workhouse.—ln reply to a
claret:on from one of the guardians, the schoolmaster stated
that the cane used could not be found ; he had kit it in the
kitchen.—Mr. Edington deemed it prudent to bring the
matter fully before the board, as there could be no doubt
that the waster czeuiled his authority.—Mr. Poland said
this was not the first offence of the kind that the school-
master had been guilty of. It ought to be intimated to him
that if he repeated the off, nee it would involve his dismie
sal—After further discussion it was agreed that the school-
master should be reprimanded.—Re was then called in and
reprimanded accordingly.
FIRE. AT THE GLOUCESTER HOTEL, GREFJIWICII.
—Yesterday mooning, between 12 and 1 o'clock, a mounted
police-constable, of the It division, arrived at the London
engine stations with intelligence of a serious fire having
broken out in Silver-street, Greenwich. The moment the
news was received the chief officer of the D section of the
London establishment started to the scene with an engine,
and a powerful body of firemen, and was followed by the
Wear of England engine. On entering Greenwich they
found the hotel in a blaze. The building, which was about
three times the size of an ordinary house, stood in Silver-
street, and at one period it appeared that every place near
would have fallen a prey to the fury of the flames. The
engines of the parish, as well u those from the Royal Col-
lege and her Majesty's dockyard, had previously arrived, '
and being supplied with an abundance of water from the
Kent mains, the police and inhabitants were fortunately
enaoltd to cut off the extension of the fire in the direction
of the other buildings during the time lost in sending to
town for additional assistance, but they could not succeed in
extinguishing the main body of flame. The London, fire-
men, therefore, went to work most vigorcusly, and, with
the assistance of the local aid, eventually suceieded in sub-
duing the conflagration, but not until a serious amount of
valuahle property was reduced to ashes, which is thus re-
ported by Mr. Superintendent Braidwood : " The Gloucester
Hotel, in Silver-street, Greenwich, about two-thirds of
building and its contents destroyed. No. 1, in the same
street, 3,1 r. W. Doo, tobacconist, contents seriously damaged
by removal. Mr. Larkins, the landlord, was insured in the
Kent Fire-office fur the contents, and the building was In-
sured in the Royal Exchange Fire-citfice ; but Mr. Duo was
not it.sured." the origin of the fire is unknown.
