It seems fiat us Thursday Sir C. Hunter had wailed emu
Ike Comensitore, of which he is a member, with she MINN-
of his Lordship that the ease of Ferguson should

Sir C. Renter, after havisig, with all due ceremony, intro.

foods were applicable, sod that on this grimed the Com-
mister fused it eneusibusi upon them to withhold the mess,
of relief recommended by the Lord 111syter.
The Lord Hayes said, it was scarcely worth while to make
so made fuss about she sum of 30,. which would be 'offi-
cious to hear the expenses of the poor maw. It was oot
without psi. that Ise elnerVell the Coransitiee were now so
completely governed by forms as to disregard • case which

Committee had given bin any thing
Fugue's said they expressed sorrow al the oufortansle
situation to which be was reducer!, but had giver him
nothing. Mr. Campbell, the Chairman, had cerement, given
him half-a-erosen ; but that Gentlersao at the setae woe

The Lord Mayor—. There were occasions, last year, us
which the Committee then silting admissisiered relief to
persons who could soot make out such a claim es that which
has been rejected. They have cousiderable funds on., aud
cos have more, if they think proper hi solicit the public;
and certainly the applicseiun of money advanced so freely
by the public, cannot be better selmiuistered than for Ile
relief of those who fall into unforeseen Mid Wald* ca-

should overstep the bounds set down by sheinselves, when a

Ferguson rid, that he should be enabled, soon after his sr.
rival at Liverpool, to remit whatever sues lbs Cesnamitese
