Mr. Cropper

Mr. P-ick

said he had likewise received a note similar to

those which had been alluded to, and though not quite
satisfactory, if Alr. Holmes wished to withdraw the offensive
remarks which he had made, he would give him the oppor-
tunity of doing so.

-
The Chairman said he was extremely sorry that his
friend, Mr. Holmes, should have shown such very great
sensitiveness on this subject, because what he had done had
rather a tendency to justify the charge made against him.
At the same time, he thought his frien, Mr. Churchwarden
Cropper, was a little bit too hard ;_ but they all knew that

" hard words broke no bones." If he (Mjr. Holmes) got
wiser as he got older, he world find that the best way to
disarm censure was to take no notice of it, unless it were
just, and then amend quietly. There was another indi-
vidual in that establishment, of whom he rrlust take the
liberty of expressing his opinion, and that was Mr. Doyle

Bairst

said, the industrial schools were agreeable
that the matter of the chaplains should be referred back,
and he was sure Mr. Holmes would withdraw his statement.
He cordially agreed with the chairman, that Mr. Holmes
and Mr. Doyle might be on better footing, and that if they
cordially co-operated, they would get on a great deal better.
vac them every chance of redressing any
grievance they had to complain of.
Mr. Denton said he was sorry to find that there wag TM
reference to the removal of Mr. Doyle. He thought this
gentleman had offered a great insult to the committee.
The Chairman said the members might take that up in
committee, which was the proper place.
-The recommendation, as moved by Mr. Bairstow, was
then confirmed, as were also the general proceeding,s, with
the exception of the matter in discussion in reference to the
chaplain, which was referred back.
