The following letter was read lay Mr. Cleaver I
am directed by the Poor-law Board td acknowledge the
receipt of your letter of the 22nd ultimo, returning the
form of queries filled up, with the particulars, of the
appointment of Mr. Robert T. Lodge as medical officer
for Everton, No. 1 district of the West Derby Union.
Adverting to the statement in reply to question 9 in
the formto the effect that Mr. Lodge has been:per-.
manently appointed, I am directed to refer the guar-
dians to article 2 of the order.of the 25th May, 1837,
from which it will be seen that ,to enable a medical
officer to hold his office permanently, it is necessary
that, in addition to being fully qualified, he should also
be resident in the district. As, therefore, Mr. Lodge
does not reside.in the district, he cannot hold his office
permanently ; • but the board, in pursuance. of the
provisions contained in-article 4 of the above-named
order, consent to the employment of Mr. Lodge
until Michaelmas, 1860. The board approve of the
Payment of a salary of £125 per annum to Mr. Lodge,
for the performance of the duties of his office ; and iu
pursuance of the provisions contained in article 172 of
the general order of the 24th of July, 1847, they now
direct that the said annual salary of £125 shall be paid
to him by the guardians, according to the terns . of the
orders applicalile to the payment of salaries in force in
the union. • I am directed to add that, at the expiration
of the above-mentioned period, it will be requisite for
the guardians, after notice given in accordance' with
article 156 of the order last referred to, to proceed to
a new election of a medical officer for the Everton No. 1
District; and report the result to the board.—Signed;
E. GILPIN, Secretary,"_

The CHAIRMAN said he thought it would be right to
send a copy of the letter to Mr. Lodge, as he was not
likely to hold the situation under the circumstances.

An application had been made by the store-keeper,
Mr. Roberton, for a testiironial as to his character.
Mr. H. EDWARDS moved, and Mr. LEDGER seconded,
that a first-class character be given to him.
Mr. SMITH moved, as an amendment, that it be post-
poned for a fortnight.
Mr. SHAW seconded the amendment, and stated, as
his reasons, that there were certain charges made against
him by Mr. Smith.
The- CHAIRMAN then put the amendment.
Mr. SMITH said he had no desire to trouble
the board with any very lengthy remarks, but he had
something to say about the conduct of Mr. Roberton.
Several members protested against Mr. Smith being
heard, as the amendment -was put from the chair.
The resolution was carried. Some observations were
made by the members of the board with reference to th e
wording of tlit character, when
Mr. SHAW observed that he thought that the discus-
sion was ended. _ _

The CHAIRMAN explained that they were only speak-
ing of how it should be worded.
Mr. SHAW said it was partiality on the part of the
chairman. When Mr. Smith was about to speak of the
charges he had made, he was not heard.
The CHAIRMAN answered that the charges were only
insinuations. Mr. Smith had been called upon by the
board to make the charges, so as to have them sent to
the Poor-law Board ; but he had not thought proper to
do so, and, therefore, the charges were only insinuations.
Mr. SHAW said they had been sent to the Poor-law
Board.
The matter then dropped, and the board separated,
that being all their business.

S HORNeLIFFE.—THE ROYAL LANCASHIRE ARTILLERY.
—On Saturday last the Royal Lancashire Artillery, only
recently moved into the camp from Dover, received
—1; sytThroetehete raCteosfftaiesbe.
orders to hold themselves in readiness to embark for
Cork, to relieve the Antrim Artillery Militia, now
stationed there, and under orders for England. The
commanding-officer of the Lancashire left Shomcliffe
on Saturday for London, to endeavour to get the order
countermanded ; and it is to be hoped his application
will be successful, and that this fine regiment will still
be allowed to remain in its present station; where the
men, from their uniform good conduct, have already
gained the esteem and respect of the inhabitants of the
neighbourhood generally,
