WOR.

In the Marylebone vestry, on Saturday, a letter was
read from Mr. T. B. Rae, the secretary to the directors
and guardians of the poor, stating, in answer to a com-
munication which had been addressed to the board by
the vestry, as to the flogging of certain females in the
workhouse, that the board had the subject under its
consideration, and that an investigation appointed by the
Poor-law Board was about to take place, and that as soon
as the proceedings were terminated a report would be
furnished by the directors and guardians to the vestry.
In answer to questions, the -Vestry Clerk stated that
the poor-law inquiry had taken place and terminated, and
that certain correspondence was taking place between
the directors and guardians and the Poor-law Board, but
' that the communication he had read was the only one
he had received from the directors and guardians
upon the subject; Some conversation took place, and
Dr. Bachhoffner, one of the board of directors and guar-
dians, informed the vestry that the proceedings were at
present in an unfinished state. There was a correspond-
ence of no very friendly character going on between the
Poor-law Board and the directors and guardians, and
when it was completed no doubt the entire proceedings
would be laid before the vestry. What had taken place
was this. The Poor-law Board had appointed an in-
spector, Mr. Cane, to make an inquiry into the recent
flogging case. That gentleman had made his report to
the Poor-law Board, and upon that report the Poor-law
Board had called upon the directors and guardians to
dismiss the master, but made no reference to the porters, it
having been understood that the two porters, Green and
Brown, bad voluntarily resigned. A rather hasty resolu-
tion was some to by the directors and guardians, at once
setting any authority which the Poor-law Board presumed
they possessed at defiance. On Friday last the Poor
Law Board had sent down to the directors and guardians
of St. Marylebone a peremptory order for the immediate
dismissal of the master of the workhouse. This, as a
matter of course, w:as also set at defiance by the direc-
tors and guardians, and a communication directed to be
sent to the Poor Law Board, informing them that the
directors and guardians of the poor of St. Marylebone
declined to carry out any such order. Thus the matter
stood, and he supposed that the next communication
they had from the Poor Law Board would be in some
legal form, which it was the determination of the
guardians to meet and contest. In the discussion
which followed, Mr. Gliddon, Mr. Freeth, and other
members of the vestry, expressed their great disap-
probation of the flogging of women in the workhouse.
Mr. D'lffanger and Mr. Wingfield said that they very
much deplored it, though they would support the ry
guar-
dians in their resistance to the dictation of the Poor-law
Board. Mr. Gliddon gave notice that next Saturday he
would move a resolution as follows :—" That this board
is of opinion that the untoward circumstances connected
with the recent flogging of women in the workhouse de-
serve the severest censure of the vestry, as operating to
lower the estimation of the parish in public opinion, and
as giving occasion to the Poor-law Board to interfere,
with a view to deprive St. Marylebone of the independent
position it has hitherto enjoyed in the management of
its poor.'
