Cominunications were read from the Poor-law Board,
approving of the proceedings of the guardians in ap-
pointing officers.for the new workhouse.
,The proceedings of the Building and Visiting Com-
mittees were read and confirmed.
Mr. WILSON said he had a complaint to make against
Mr. Heath, the relieving-officer; because of his having
neglected to relieve a man named James Townley, re-
siding in Bedfor&place, BedfOrd-street. He did not
know whether he was right to make the complaint in
the absence of Mr. Heath, who was gone to the
Magistrate's' 'Conit. He then proceeded, with the
consent of the board,-- to say that on Monday
last, about noon, a woman, named. Townley, called at
his shop, crying. She stated that she had four children,
and her husband was so ill with fever that he was not ex-
-peetecl to live. She -applied to Mr. Heath on Satur-
day, and he gave her a medical note, which she took
to Mr. Patterson, ' and yet, on Monday- afternoon,
the case had not been attended to. He then went
to Mr. Patterson's house, and learned that he was
and in bed. From that he went to Eir. Drawbridge,
foand that that gentleman had been looking for, him in,
reference to the case. There was no food.in the house
aocording to the woman's declaration. He (Mil :Wilson)
ordered ss. worth of food for the family. Mi:''Heathqj
had been 'at the house on Sunday, but 'had taken no.
steps .to get Dr. Patterson to see the sick man
or to• get any other doctor.' The woman asked
him for relief on Monday, and he refused to ' give
it to her, stating that she should have told hini of her
need-on Saturday. The woman said he was So abusive
that she would rather hunger than ask him,' and be
Subjected to his abuse. These repeated charges of
cruelty were very grievous.
Mr. Moss 'asked what the charge 'was.: • " ; '
Mr. WILSON. answered that it was for neglectincg to
give relief, and for not seeing that the patient was '
attended to. . .
Mr. Huy= said they could not ,(3.0 into the case
the absence of Mr. Heath.
The CUArumAN Observed that, it appeared, Mr. Pat-
•terion was as much to blame as Mr. 'Heath, unless he
was not able to attend from sickness. •
Mr. Jourts thought Mr. Reath Should have taken care
to see that the case' was attended to by Mr. 'Patterson,
or, if not by him, at least by the first medical man he
could get.
On the motion of Mr. Wilson, it was
'that the board should inquire into the matter on Thurs-
:,clay next, and, in order to get at the facts, Mr. Patter
be bad on application. TEETH :
summoned to attend at half-past two o'clock.
