ADJOURNED INQUEST.-THIS DAY.

This morning at halt.past ten Mr. T. Wakley, Coro.
ser for Middlesex, resumed the inquest on the body of Mr.
Waugh, in the Board•toom of St. Andrew's Workhouse,
Gray's Unions, adjourned from Friday last, in order
that the prisoner, Charles Broadfoot Waitron, should
be brought to the must from the House of Detention, in
sionsplianos with a letter sent by the coroner to the Secre-
tary of State for the Home Department.

It ►eiog generally believed that Weatron would be present,
the room weasels more crowded than en the prestottioece-
elan, and a large number of penone, et an early hour, else
assembled *Weide the workhouse, all eager to obtain a
shapes of the prisoner.

Mr. Lewis (of the firm of Lewis and Lewis) appeared to
watch the proceedings for t►e prisoner.

The Coroner baying briefly recapitulated the evidence
gives on the previous occasion, said—l informed you that I
had made =application to the Home Secretary by letter to
have the prisoner brought here, and also that I received as
answer to that letter. On returning to my dace, however,
I found a communication from Sir O. Grey, in comequence
_ _

of which I attended at the Home Office, and I have every
reams to believe that there will be so difficulty
is the least in having the prisoner produced
before you ow Wednesday morning next at ten
o'clock. There appears tome legal objection to his
being must to-day, and I t'serefore think that the best
amuse we as adopt is to adjourn the inquiry again until
Widowed', next. It may be as well to add, that I was in-
formed by Impostor Cheekley that the examination before
a magistrate will take place on that day, but the prisoner
Gan mail, lam* this court by 12 o'clock in the forenoon.

Mr. Lewis said—l am exceedingly anxious that the public
ailed should be disabused of I reports that hue bees
I. erudition, set only u regards the memory of the de-
ceased gentlemen, but the prisoner himself. The prisoner
bedews perusal feeling against Mr. Waugh, but is a con-
druid lunatic.

The Comer—l (manor allow you to proceed, Mr. Lewis,
bat I shall be glad to bear any statement yes have to make
ea a future occasion.

After some further conversation the inquest was again
form►lly adjourned until Wednesday morning, the 23rd
instant.

ST. PANCRAS ALMSHOUSES.

On Saturday evening a meeting of the committee
et thie iastitatioa wee held at the comtaiseiootre room,
Edward-street, liampetead•road ; Faancis HaLLax, E.q ,
J.P is the choir.

The Sac aaaaaa stated that he had received 471. from the
directors et the poor of the parishes, befog the amulet of
rents 'Asia( oat of the Feeler's Field Estate, in return for
which the said directors have the privilege of electing
aye imitates to the almshouses. The secretary further
stated that the resources of the institution were ism&
cleat to meet the demands upon the committee. Where.
upon it was resolved, upon the motion of J. T. Wilmer/,
Seq., Ali A , seconded by Mr. Richard Howlett, that
some special effort be made to augment the fonds, is order
that the full number of inmates may be elected to the
laatitutiom.

The parish of St. Pancras prides itself on leading in
matters political and parochial; but, strange to say, it is far
behind many lea, important districts of the metropelis in its
charitable institutions. Almshouses hays bees loag
feuded' in almost every other district. It was
aot until the year l&50 that any attempt was
made to establish an institution of this description is this
perish. At the period named, Dr. Fraser, then church-
warden of tbs parish. caaveaed • meeting of a few philan-
thropic gentlemen at his house, and then and there the
nucleus of the p institution wise formed. Subscription*
were entered into, pleas submitted, sod • portion of the
original design carried out. This eau not done without
great rational ion; nor oould accommodation have
been afforded to the nineteen persons who are sow inmate*
of the alsoshotnes bat for the magnanimity of an individual
member of the committee (Dr. Fraser), upon whom per-
eons' security a so/Beim:a sum of mosey was raised to enable
the building to be proceeded with. From the report just
issued it appear that • sum of 33.51. is still doe upon the
debt thus incurred. Taking into cosoidsratioss the extent
and wealth of the parisi,, it is really a matter of surprise
that so •xeelleut en institution has not been better sup-
ported. If only one in twenty of the inhabitants were to
ashaerib• a small sum enaeahy, there would be more than
sufficient fends to carry out the benevolent intestioas of the
projectors of the charity. Each annual subscriber of half a-
anises is testified to a vote for each candidate at every dee-
tion. The committee are strenuously exerting themselves
to augment the number of subscribers, so that another
election may at once take place, and the whole of the building
thus bosons occupied.
