and 43 itch, and the entire number in the house on
the 1141 inst. was 2,305.

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS COMMITTEE.

- The proceedings of this committee contained a resolu-
tion to the effect that Sarah Hawkins, a girl of twelve
years, be considered as a Roman Catholic, un'il the
committee decided otherwise in her case.

Mr. Satchell moved that this portion of the proceedings
be suspended for the present, on the ground that the girl
herself now expressed a desire to continue attending the
Protestant worship, and to be considered as a Protestant
Mr. Whitty opposed the motion, on the grouni that
the girl had been originally received upon her own state
invent as a Roman Cathaic, and that she had subsequently
teen subjected, contrary to rule, to Protestant instruction
for four months, which had produced the influence upon
her mind leading to her now 'consenting to be classed as
a Protestant.
- After a short discusi-n, the motion of Mr. Satchell
was carried by 13 to 2.
The remaining proceedings were confirmed.
FINANCE COMMITTEE.

On the reading of the proceedings, Mr. Smith. com-
plained that the committee had sanctioned a payment for
a minute book used by the burial board, and was pro-
ceeding to contend that the burial board had no
right either to appoint a clerk or to fix his salary, and that
in no case should the vestry be called.on to pay for a book
ordered by the burial board. After some time had been
spent in discussing the question, it was explained that
the book had not been paid for by the committee, that
the application for pament was made to them in a
mistake, and that the applicant had been referred to the
clerk of the bnital board. As this was precisely what
Mr. Smith ;lad been contending for, the explanation
abrus,;:l closed the discussion, and the proceedings were
cetafirmed.
