The adjourned meeting of the parishioners of St.
Margaret, New Ihthestreet wee hold at the veelry-tome
yesterday ; Mr. Charetweedee KIUILING praelahg.
The vestry-oink, Mr. ruiners, stated fully the pro-
°sidles. of the meeting of the parochial authorities at the
hosed-room of the Poor-law Union on Saturday hat, which
throdeehed by adoptieg a memorial to the Lord Mayor.
Udmurt% sad Commas Council, praying "that they would
withhold the Deposition of • rate mat tahpli=ca of
Bethlehem Hospital wee aftertathed as to the of
the feeds of that institution to the support the pauper
Inaatire of the City of London."
Mr. Chertheriuden Wil.coxott concurred In the resolu-
tion adopted at that mooting, feeling soared that the whole
Metter would be decided on be mml4, sad, bevies • brother
who is one of the governors of that institution, he might say
that any reference to the board would meet with the atten-
tion the cam required, and which wee likely to peeve of the
greatest importance to the City of London.
The chairmen, Mr. KaaLuto, said the quetka had now
resolved itaelf into one requiring prompt acres sad decision,
sad it should be borne mind that the mandate dor the
smite"' of • Insets myths ammated from the late govern-
ment through Sir George Grey, sad be was sure from the
liberal character of the present government that if •
Wof the perialtioners, Leaded by the City authltliteam.-
waited ere the Home Secretary and satlafactevily proved
the meemere was uncalled a., it would not be unfairly
premed. • dieltios of opinion existed In the Common
Council upon the question, earl nahee the parishioners put
ea madded power* they would have lunatic asylums Us
union workhouse, much too large for the purpoese required.
As regards Bethlehem Hoepital, from the documents laid
before them the proposed ineemigasies wee koperedvely
celled for, and until the remit eles mcertaied it would be
most unjust to the raterpiyers to be called upon by the City
authorities for unnecessary additional taxes.
The memorial as adopted at the meeting of the parochial
authorities on Saturday last was speed to, and the meeting
separated.
