BEVERLEY ELECTIOIV COMMISSION.

--.>-

The Beverley Election Commissioners, Mr. Serjeant
O'Brien, Mr. Barstow, and Mr. Hamertham Cox reas-
sembled cn Wednesday morning in cne of the committee-
rooms of the House of Lords. • •

Mr. Rose attended, and was examined. After having
expressed his regret that he had inconvenienced the
Commissioners on the previous day by not appearing, he
said that from 1853 to 1859 he was the recognised
parliamentary agent of the Conservative party. Had
nothing to do do with the election fcr Beverley in 1857,
but had to do with the petition presented afterwards when.
Mr. Wells claimed the seat. His firm appeared for certain
electors on behalf of Mr. Glover to oppose. The recog-
nised leader cf the party instructs 1g his firm was
Mr. Wreighitt. It was in May 1857 that Major Edwards
first visited his office, The second election of 1857 took
place in August. Two petitions were presented after the
first eleetien--ene against Mr. Dennison and one
against Mr. Glover. Major Edwards assisted
the electors of Beverley with funds to prevent
Mr. Wells getting the seat on petition. An ac-
count of £221 13s. 2d. sent to him (the witness) by Messrs.
England and Bayton, was paid by Major Edwards. Exa-
mined as to the first election of Major Edwards,
the witness detailed the circumstances of his inter-
view with Mr. Cronhelm, and expressed a strong
opinion that Major Edwards did not know of £2,000 being
spent in the election. The Chief Commissioner remarked
that it would be better for the witness not to express any
such opinion; perhaps he did not knoNiall the facts that the
Commissioners did. The legal expenses of Major Edwards
were £422 3s. ld. As to a bill of £143, which witnsss paid by
order of Major Edwards, he did not examine the items.
Many of them he saw to-day for the first time.
The interview which witness had with Mr. Cronhelm
left a very painful impression on his mind, for it convinced
him that Cronhelm had been personally guilty of great
indiscretion.

The Chief Commissioner : That is to say, money was
taken into the market-place, and votes were actually
bought there.
Mr. Rose said he knew nothing of that. There
were cross petitions after the election of 1859, and witness
acted for Mr. Walker against Mr. Walters and defended
Major Edwards' seat, and was successful in both instances.
Some correspondence between Mr. Cronhelm and
witness having been read, Mr. Rose stated he
had nothing to do with the election of 1860,
and knew nothing about it. He attended the committee
on a petition presented after the election of 1859, but did
not get up the case. Referring to the papers in the hands
of his firm, he found that the expense of the petition in
1860 was £6OO. Mr. Cooke was one of the counsel origi-
nally engaged on that petition, but it being supposed that
he would have to be called as a witness, ho returned his
brief. Nothing was paid to Mr. Cooke on account of the
loss he thereby experienced.
' By Mr. Humersham Cox ; Did not remember the exact
circumstances attending the retirement of Mr. Cooke.
The Commissioners then adjourned, and will, in all pro-
bability not meet again to examine witnesses.

TIIE ST. P.A MBAS WORKHOUSE AGAIN.

On Wednesday Dr. Lankester, the coroner for Central
Middlese, opened an inquest at Camden Town touching
the deaths of Jane Harvey, Jane Gardiner, J. Watts,
Elizabeth Ramsay, Elizabeth Draper, Catherine Desmond,
Elizabeth Ansell, and Mary Flynn, who died, six of them
inside the St. Pancras Workhouse, and two outside it,
whose deaths had nothing to do with the workhouse.
When the jury were sworn,

The first case taken was that of the death of Jane Harvey,
aged 35 years. _ _ _

The body having been identified by the husband of the
deceased,

Dr. Ellis was examined, and deposed that the deceased
was admitted to the infirmary, on the 9th, and
died on the 11th. She suffered from inflammation of the
lungs and side. She was placed in the 25 ward. There
were four beds when she was there. The room was a small
one, and now there were seven beds in it. There were
windows in the room, but there was always a kind of stench
in it. There were ventilators which had not been used,
but the cold air came down from them on the heads of
the patients, who complained very much of it.
The stench, he thought, came from the water-closet.
the whole workhouse is full of stenches. The insufficient
ventilation and bad stenches accelerated the death of this

woman.
In reply to the jury, Dr. Ellis said that no effectual steps
were taken until last week to remedy the stenches. The
wards now stunk as badly as ever.
Louisa Turner, a patient in 25 'Ward, deposed that she
had been one month in that ward. The smells
in it were frightful. They caused her throat to get
dry, and gave her diarrhoea, and made her vomit. Since
the extra beds had been put in the stenches were worse.
They all had to go to 24 ward across a stone pas-
sage to ho water-closet. She had been in 24, but the
stench was co bad there she asked to be put into 25. Only
last night the patients had to remove from the fire-place
in 25, the stench which came up by the side of the fire was
sp bad.
Margaret Kane, paid nurse of 24 and 25 Wards, deposed
to the abominable nature of the stenches and smells
coming from the water closet, which was closed without
being cleansed.
Ellen Petts, the infirmary night nurse, said the smells
in every ward of the infirmary were abominable. She had
complained of them so far back as the 18th of March last,
but nothing was done to correct the smells until last week.
In spite of what had been done the smells remained as bad as
ever. The deceased said to witness, "Dear, dear, what
sort of a place is this ? If the window is open I catch a
draught, andif it is closed I am suffocatedwith the stench.*
The next night saw the deceased, who had a bad attack of
diarrhoea, screening herself from the draught of air. The
poor woman came in on the 9th, and died on the 11th
instant.
In reply to Mr. Watkins, a guardian of St. Pancras, the
witness said she was not aware until last week that there
were ventilators in the window sills of the wards. When
they were open the stench was still worse. When they
were open the patients complained of the draught, and
tied up their heads to keep it from them. She did not
tell any one that Dr. Ellis had ordered her to shut down
the window.
Mr. Watkins tendered himself for examination, to rebut
the evidence of the last witness. The Coroner said, it 'Mr.
Watkins was prepared to swear that all the evidence about
the smells was false, he would hear him; but he could not
hear him in defence of the Board of Guardians, who were
not before the court at all.
Dr. Lockhart Robertson was then examined. He said
he was at present superintendent of the Sussex Lunatic
Asylum, and was previously a surgeon in the army, and
had a long medical experience. On Monday last, at
twelve o'clock, he visited the St. Pancras
Workhouse Infirmary. He found the wards fright-
fully overcrowded. In the whole of them there was a
close sewage smell, and that was so in spite of an amount of
window and door opening which was dangerous to persons
suffering from acute diseases. The water closets were
beastly to a degree. The patients in Colney
Hatch Lunatic Asylum were like princes compared
to the patients in the wards. It was a mockery to carry
on medical treatment in the wards. He saw two cases of
continued typhus fever, which might spread to the nurses
and others. He thought it was almost consigning
people to their graves to put them in these wards.
The death of a woman suffering from the same disease
as the deceased had:would be accelerated by the condition
of the wards. It would be impossible to make the building
a proper hospital.
The Jury found the following special verdict :—"We
find that Jane Harvey died from inflammation of the
side and lungs, and that the said death was accelerated by
the want of sufficient sanitary precautions in the ward in
which she died in St. Pancras Workhouse Infirmary."
The Coroner said he should assuredly make a representa-
tion, as suggested by the jury, to the President of the Poor
Law Board about the case.
In the case of John Watts, Dr. Ellis said deceased was
admitted to No. 6 Ward on the Bth October, and was found
dead on November 8. He died of congested apoplexy, and
his death was accelerated by the state of the ward—in
fact, the state of the ward brought on the attack.
A verdict similar in terms to the last one was given, the
jury stating that the death of the man was accelerated by
the foul atmosphere of the ward in which he died.
The inquests were shortly afterwards adjourned.

A REFRACTORY PRECENTOR.—A steno was wit-
nessed in South Leith parish church on Sunday evening
which has been freely commented on by the parishioners
and others. Mr. Duff was the officiating clergyman, and
Mr. Wilson occupied the precentor's desk. After the
initiatory part of the service the rev. clergyman read a
Psalm, and intimated that it would be chanted to a tune
named by him. The precentor roso, but instead of adopt-
ing the tune named by the minister, commenced another.
The minister, indignant, rose and asked the pre-
centor to cease singing, but the latter would not do so, and
the minister,becoming impatient,de sc ended the pulpit stairs,
confronted the precentor, and in an earnest, if not angry,
tone, demanded that the chanting should not be proceeded
with. Not a few of the congregation laughed, while
others went out. The altercation having come to an end,
the minister took his place in the pulpit and delivered
an impressive sermon. Towards the close of the service
Mr. Duff intimated that, owing to the conduct of the
precentor there would bo no more singing that evcning.-
6coisman.
