THE POOR-LAW BOARD AND THR BETHNAL-0
GUARDlA2lB.—Yesterday Lord Enfield, M.P., the •
of the Poor law Board., cornmuniosted to the • •• 1 f
Bethnal-green the board's decision in the inquiries, •
were held relative to the sudden deaths, nude: • • -
circumstances, of two pauper inmates of the wo • •
will be remembered that one OM was that of am of • a.l)
mate named Flowers, who was warded in a sick ward,
was sent out to sleep in the body of the house, where 4".1
bad no proper care, and, dying in the sight, no ellastifibu v •
was called to him, es all the paupers were looked:1a , a
together. The other ease was that of Robert Soolly..„
mother old man, who was admitted on the relieving offienie
ceder as " howler sod destitute." The board, in the
ease of James Flowers, request that the nurse may be. • •
strongly admonished, and direct the attention of the • •
dims to the expediethy of providing sash additloaai sat 1
commodetion as would prevent the noosenty of
temaiss on the male side of the workhouse, or of seadtgglidim-
@lotto sloop oat of thud* wards, by which est the
locking of the doors of the wards is rendered
As regards the medical officer of the workhouse the board
think it would be a more satisfactory arrangement if this
officer, or an snidest medical after, were required to
reside in the workhouse. His duties should be performed
by him personally, subject to the appointment of • Dipillo;
qualified practitioner, to whom application maybe made is
ibises* dthe medical officer. With regard to the cede of
Robert Seely, the Board are of opinion that the porter
clearly neglected his duty in not reporting the case to the
master or matron, and recommend that the resignation
of James Cardwell should be required, or that be should be
discharged by the guardians alter giving him due notice.
IMPORTANT PROCERDLNOS UNDER THE ISLIROBANT
SHIPPING Acr.—At the Thames Pollee-court yesterday
(spied' Elijah Hitching., the master of the ship Waders
Star, lying in the St. Katharine Dock, apps red before Mr.
Partridge to answer four summonses, taken out against
him by Mr. Weal*, an officer of Onstoms, by order of the
Board of Trade. The first charged the defendant with
violating the third division of the 224th section of the Mer-
chant Shipping Act, 1854, in failing to provide and keep on
board a niftiest quantity of lime or lemon juioe, se ne
quired by the statute. The second, that the crew of the
mid ship having then been consuming salt provisions for tea
days, tryend did neglect to serve out lime or lemon
PLUM after the rate of ball an ounce pee
day to sea person so long se the consumption
of salt provisions was continued. The third charged the
defendant wi•h failing to make as entry in the official
logbook at the time and in the manner required by the
Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, of the Meese of a certain
member of the crew named Thomas Schroeder. The fourth
charged a similar offence as regarded another seaman, named
James Verooo Monger. These two women, it was stated in
evidence. died immediately on arriving home. Mr. Par-
tridge, after hesriog the case, was of opinion that on the
first summoos there should be a movietion. There wee not
a sufficient quantity of lime or lemon juice kept on board.
A certain quantity had hem taken on board and served out
on the outward voyage. and it was added that none wee
supplied to the crew on the homeward voyage. If it had
been properly dealt out there would not have been enough
to last the whole voyage. On the first summons he should
convict the defendant, and inflict the full penalty odß and
costa The second summons was withdrawn, and in each of
the others the defendant was fined 40s.
A COOL APPLICATION.—It appears that the
cupola of the Town hall of Wareham requires an outlay of
71. or 81. to repair it, and recently the high-spirited corpo-
retioe of that town conceived the idea that the mat eco-
nomical way of mine( the paltry amount would be by a
begging-letter to the Prince of Waite. They received through
the Mayor, thikfollo eine reply from General Koollys, dated.
"Marlborough House, Feb. 20.-1 am desired bythe Prince
of Wales to acknowledge the rootlet of your letter, repre-
senting to his royal highness the dangerous modition of
the cupola of the Town-ball of Wareham, and soliciting
that be would be pleased to order a donation towards its
repair. His royal highness is you sensible of the loyal
feelings which have prompted you, as mayor of Wareham,
to make this spend on behalf of the corporation of so
ancient and loyal a borough, cad it would have afforded hint
sincere gratification to have answered it favourable, had b
el
e
not feared such precedent might be productive of simi
appeals without the same merits or the mote excuse. Hie
royal highness trusts, however, that the estimated expense
of repairs being only between 7/. and 81., the good feeling of
the inhabitants of Wareham will, on such an occasion,
where the lives of their corporation are in question, supply
the want of any corporation fund applicable for the required
purpose."
