Mr. Arm Alums seconded the motion. He said, when
he was overseer, he and his, colleague had gone to the
bank and borrowed the money on their own respon-
t.ibility.
Mr. SHAW submitted figures to show that West
Derby must have a balance in hand of at least £1,600.
Mr. PILLING said it was true they owed the money,
but they had not as much yet as would ensblif them to
pay. • • ,
After some conversation on the subject, the motion

was carried.
Mr. PILLING stated that he had received a communi-
cation from Mr. Lister, to the effect that on Saturday
last, a man, from Tosteth-park, had received an order
to come into the fever ward or hospital; He had
neglected to use it till Monday ; and on his arrival Ore
he was so far reduced that he died before he could 124 got
oat of the cart into the hospital. He thought this was
a case for a coroner's inquest, to know whether there
had not been gross neglect.

Mr. CLEAVER, the Clerk, said on reference to a report:
in the book, he found that the order had; een given on
Saturday last, but his family had refused to let him
come till the Monday.
Mr. ABRAHAMS Said it appeared then that their officers
were not at all to blame.
Mr. SHAW said that there had often been very gross
delay in the removal of patients from Toxteth-park.
and suggested that Mr. Cleaver should write to the
guardians of that township on the subject. This was
agreed to, and the matter dropped.
The question of the contracts entered into last week,
was then brought up. One of these contracts had been
with Mr. James Mullins, of Mill-street, Toxteth-park,
for a supply of tea; but, as it appeared on investigation,
yesterday, that the prices in the tender had not been
correctly carried out with the quantities, nor the quan-
tities with' the prices, the contract was declared void.
There were four tenders last week, and his stood third
in point of price, but when looked closely into, it ap-
peared that there *ere two below him, and so the con-
tract was set aside.
The board soon afterwards adjourned.
