ALLEGED ILL-TREATMENT OF PAUPERS IN ST.
GEORGE'S WORK H USE.--At the usual weekly
meeting of the directors and governors of the poor of the
parish of St. George, Hanover-square, on Wednesday, two
communications from the Poor-law Board were considered,
relative to the above subject. It appeared that on the 18th
of April a late inmate, named John Hussey, wrote to the
President of the Poor-law Board complaining of the con-
duct of the nurse- and of the taskmaster towards him as a
sick pauper at Mount-street workhouse. On coming to
the doctor, that gentleman ordered him out of the estab-
lishment, he not being cured at the time. About the same
time another pauper, named Thomas Fennell, also wrote
to the Poor-law Board as to what occurred to one of the
other inmates named Robert John Levy. On a particular
Tuesday night the taskmaster and trampmaster came to
that person's ward demanding him to get up, as they
wanted him to sit up all night with a pauper in the sick
ward. He refused, alleging that he had had no notice of
it, and been hard working all day. The two officials then,
without more ado, were stated to have dragged him out of
bed in a shameful manner on to the floor, then through the
ward, intending to take him down stairs along the pas-
sages and across the yard to the tramp cell. He also pre-
ferred other charges to the same effect. The subject had
been very carefully investigated by the directors, and the
statements in the two letters were considered by them to
be wholly without foundation. The following resolution
was unanimously agreed to after some discussion :—" That
the directors and governors of the poor entirely exonerate
the officers implicated in the charges brought against them
by John Hussey and Robert John Levy, as contained in
their letters to the Poor-law Board, there being no truth
whatever in the same. The directors are fully satisfied
with the conduct of the officers of the establishment
i
gene-
rally." The officials complained of were then called n
and informed of the decision of the board.
