The " coo" of the brethrea will be gathered from the
following petition :
•"1:o the frto.t Reverend, Flo-t Nohlo aad Right 114.1:10111,

..... ,
ablu the Govereet. of 'he Charterhlio.e.

" The poor brothers, mensb_rs of this foundation, desire
again to make a respectful, and, u they hope it will be
thought, a reasonable appeal to the governors, trustees of
the revenues of the Charterhouse, for as increase of the
pensie n of 261. now annually allotted them, that sum being
found wholly insufficient to provide such daily needful
comforts as are esecential to health, decency, and cleanliness,
end which are not furnished by the hospital, yin, clothing,
Hues, washing, boots and then s, groceries, &c. &c. ; and is
especially inadequate when weighed with the greatly in-
cri aud revenues of the hospital since the time of its Lanni•
anent founder.

"Your petitioners beg respectfully to state that they have
been accustomed to something more than the necessaries of
life ; and have been taught to consider Charterhnuse es an
asylum fur eltecytol gentlemen. It is freely and gratefully
admitted that, of late years, nut lordship's nominations
have ben more in accordance with that honourable desig-
nation. May they not respectfully offer this as an additional
claim to an improvement in their position.
"They are indmed to make this renewed application at
the present time, as, in ins instance of a former applica-
tion, the answer given them was, not that the funds would
not admit of an increased allowance, but that the gov.vnors
then "declined to comply with the prayer of the petitian,"
which does not (rabid them from hoping for a future torpor-
able ennsileratlon of their present petition."
Signed by the brethren.
The Governors cf the Institution present on Friday ,when
the petition was considered, were the Archbishop of Canter-
bury, the Bishop of London, Lord Panmura, Mr. Justice
Cresswell, and the Venerable Archdeacon Halo. Tho
governors stair 4, in their rep 4 to the phar brothers' appeal,
that tray could not, consistently with their duty, make any
increase to the pension of the Motherhood. The revenues

annum, or six times greater than they were when the num-
ber of pensioners was fixed. Besides Ilse maintenance of
the elghiy old men, called the brethren, tha charity edu-
cates and supporta forty boys.
