Mr. t'AIRN'S moved to add the following words " And
nothing in this act contained shall affect or pnjudice any
agreement entered into, or oecurity given by may trustee,
having for its object the restoration or repayment of my
trust propetiv tuisappluprinted." Ile said that now, for the
first time, the misappropriation of trust money IMP to be
made a erintinnl e, and it was very proper that it
should be so ; but them were cases in which nn advantageous
eloromise might be mode, but which the clause, so it stool,
woulopd prevent. To meet such • case he proposed the
addition of the above words,

The ATTORNEY.° ENERAL did not ace that the
word. were neemawy ; lad, in order to remove hie hon. and
learned friend's apprehension, he had no objection to their
inflection.

The tintres an amended Wan then aroed to.

NIETROTOLITVA WOIEMOVRES.—DEITTATIOS; TO
THE POD It •I.AW BOAHD.—Yesterday a deputation from the
parish of St. Pancras waited ups.. the Puor-law Board. The
deputation consisted of Mr. %Taft (churchwarden), Messrs
Young, Clarke, lteahleigh, Littler, and other gentlemen,
and wee introduced by Mr. Martin, M.P. for Rochester. Mr.
Martin raid that he had that morning gone over the St.
Paneraa workhouse, and found that the evils complained of
some time since had been wholly removed. The inmates of
the workbuoar expreseed themaelvee quite =defied. A diffi-
culty, however, calmed on the part of the directors, in con-
sequence of the loyal act making them dependent upon the
vestry, without whose sanction no officer could be appointed.
After remarks from other gentlemen of the deputation, the
President of the Board said that it would he for the interest
of the pariah to apply to parliament in reference to the local
set. There wan no desire on the part of the Poor-law Board
to interfere with the loaf authorities so long as the wants of
the poor were properly looked after. lie would take en early
opportunity of inspecting the workhouse.
