THE POOIZ-LIIW INQUIRY AT FAR 111 1.1/

ORKHO ti SE.

• FARNHAM, Thursday.
Tire inquiry into the alleged anal-administration of
' the poor law in this workhouse was resumed this.
morning by the Special Commissioner, Mr. J. Lam-
*Deft, the Poor Law Ilispector, with whom was as-
sociated Dr: EdWard Smith, the medical adviser of
the Poor Law Board.
The proprietors of the Lancet were represented by
Mr. A. L. Smith, instructed by Mr, S. Bitter, jun. ;
and the Guardians by Mr. Barrow ; Dr. Anstie and
Dr. Stallard, the Lancet commissioners who reported
on this workhouse, were present, as were Mr. Bar-
ratt, the deputy-chairman of the guardians, and
many of the guardians.
Mr. Smith said he should apply to the Commis-
sioner to call for the guardians' minute book, and
for the medical officer's reports to the guardians
during the time Dr. Powell had been medical officer
of the union.
The" Commissioner assented, and ordered the
.minutes and reports to be forthcoming.
The late master, Sargent, here stood up and said
that he was as much concerned in this inquiry as the
guardians, and as he, was undefended, he hoped the
Commissioner would give him facilities for the vin-
dication of his character.
The Commissioner said that, though the late
master was not at present a poor law official, he
should be allowed to put questions through hie), the
Commissioner.
The inquiry then proceeded.
William Hatfield, an inmate of the workhouse, was
called and sworn. He said he came in first iu Feb.,
1864, and remained in for seven or eight weeks. He
was in the middle ward of the infirmary, and was
afterwards shifted out into the large ward called the
"long ward." He was shifted there to look after the
patients, of whom there were ten at one time, and
nine at another time. He had to wash four bed-
ridden men, and fetched the water (cold) from the
tap. It was carried in the chamber utensil, which
the men had used, there being no proper wash-
basins. All the time he was in the infirmary there
was not a wash-basin for the whole three wards,
and all the bed-ridden patients had to wash out of
their chamber utensils. He came into the workhouse
in Dec.,1866, and he then fouhd wash basins in the
wards and a new doctor (the present medical
officer).

Questioned by Mr. Barrow, the witness said the
Guardians came round two or three times while he
was there, but he never heard any one ask if there
were any complaints to make. He made uo com-
plaints to guardians or master. In reply to Mr. A.
L. Smith he sail he was told by the late master,
Sargent, to make the beds and otherwise assist, and
he did not consider it his duty to complain. He
made answer, too, to Dr. Smith that there were pails
in the nurse's rooms, but they were never used to
wash in, except in very "dirty cases," when, as it
was suggested, more water than ordinary was re-
quired. He stated further, on questions suggested
by the late master, that when he asked for articles
of the late master for " dirty cases" he got them
supplied. He had not, however, seen any other
books in the infirmary except Bibles and Prayer
Books. He had had no books to read from the late
master, nor had he seen any others have books.
James White, another inmate, at present an
" able-bodied," stated that he came into the house
in 1863, and was then a patient in the " long ward."
He was then bed-ridden and there for six months,
and it was always the practice while he was there to
wash the bed-ridden patients with cold water in the
chamber utensils. He came again in 1865, and was
again bed-ridden. The same mode of washing the
patients was then still pursued ; but shortly after Dr.
Powell came, and washing basins were substituted
for the chamber utensils for the purpose of washing.
In 1863 the beds were not "out of the way" dirty,
and one had always to ask for the clean linen of the
master. Replying to Mr. Barrow, the witness said
that as soon as Dr. Powell came he began to in-
quire about the things used by the patients, and
matters in this respect were then soon altered. No
complaints had been made by the patients ; but the,
witness added the manner of washing was not hid-
den, and any one coming there could have seen the
washing in the chamber utensils. In answer to the
Chief Commissioner, he said that the then paid
nurse, Ann Balchin, had seen this peculiar mode of
washing, and the guardians, he said, though they
might not have been there when this washing was
going on, could have seen there were no basins.
Never saw any small towels belonging either to the
union or to the patients. He acted as nurse on
each occasion of his being in the infirmary on his
so far recovering as to rise from his bed.
Louisa Chaplen, au inmate, who now did not

look particularly clean, said she came into the work-
house in March, in 18G0 or 1861. She used to

" come in and out" in the first year, and she used,
when in, to be washed in the bath-room of the re,
ceiving ward. When thus washed she used to dry
herself on the sheets which she lay in of the receiv-
ing ward bed. There was nothing else on which
the people in the receiving ward could dry them-
selves. No towels were supplied until Miss Stead-
man, the matron, came.

Mr. Barrow asked—Did you never complain to
the guardians of the want of towels ? to which the
witness answered—No ; if I had they would have
paid no attention to me.
Ann Balchin, a pauper inmate, said she had been
in the workhouse for two years. At first she was
in the washhouse, but now was cook. She remem-
bered the Lancet commissioners coming. She showed
them the larder, which was then very dirty, but she
did not know of auy smell in it. It was dirty from
not being cleaned out for some time. She had seen
guardians go into the larder in its dirty state, when
an inventory was being taken (on the 3d of October)
after Mr. Sargent had left. During the month of
September, when she first became cook, she only
cooked breasts of mutton for the sick. She had
cooked legs and shoulders of mutton, but only for
the master's table. Since the new master had been
there she had cooked joints for the sick. The kit-
chen was usually clean.
Questioned by Mr. Barrow, she said it would be
her duty to clean the larder if the door were open,
but it was always kept locked, except when the
master and matron were out. She knew the joints
she had cooked were for the late master because she
had taken them up to his table. She was cook only
three weeks in the late master's time, and then she
cooked only breasts of mutton for the sick. During
the new master's time she had cooked shoulders, legs,
loins, and breasts for the sick. She had commenced
as cook on Sunday, Sept. 8. She was quite certain,
when requested to be very careful in what she said,
that she had not cooked anything but breasts in
September for the sick.
Mr. Barrow here remarked that the Commissioner
would see the significance of his putting this ques-
tion when he stated that in the butcher's bill no

mutton was charged for but legs at 101 a pound.
lie read the bills, which were for " beef, suet,
legs of mutton, officers' joints," and the intitton for
each of the four weeks in September was charged at
101. a pound, and the quantity for the sick was
about 401 b. a week. No breasts of mutton whatever
were charged for. The examination of the bills
caused a deep sensation among all, especially the
guardians, when taken iu connection with the evi-
dence just given. The bills were signed, "Exa-
mined and found correct.—J. SARGENT." In one of
the bills " mutton," without specifying what class,
was charged, contract price, for legs at 9id. The
contract was only for legs and loins of mutton, no
other mutton being allowed for the sick, the other
inmates having other meat.
It was agreed that the contructor should be sum-
moned to give evidence, and that the previous
pauper cook should be sought as well.
The questions put by the late master were if the

witnesl had in September seen all the meat brought
every day, and if she had Lever seen any legs of
mutton. She answered that she had not seen all
, the meat every day, as, besides being cook, she had
, assist in the laundry, and the legs she had seen she had
1 roasted for his table. She could swear that the legs
of mutton were not cooked for the sick. She knew
that the master, the matron, the porter, the master's
five children, witness's child, and the two servants
of the master were all supplied from his table. Some
of the sick, too, had meat from the master's table.
When persons in the infirmary were unable to eat
the infirmary food, said by Sargent to be ordered
by the ',doctor, they had meat from the master's
table. She did not know that the doctor had or-
dered" No. 2" diet with the understanding that the
patients so ordered should have any little " tid-bits"
from the master's table. Witness's child was sup-
plied by the master from his table, because she was
too ill to eat the house food. In answer to further
questions put by the last master she said she had
been turned out of the infirmary, where she was
" helper," and she and her child left the work-
house. The witness allowed that she had quarrelled
with the late paid nurse, who, she said, used to get
drunk, and after resigning one week was re-elected
with £5 a year more salary. Soon after this the
late nurse went out on the Saturday and came back
on the Monday drunk. Witness complained to the
late matron of the nurse's abuse, and the nurse was
discharged. Witness said she never sold any of the
patients' food or bought any ; but she had been
accused of doing so by Dr. Powell, who had dis-
charged her from the infirmary on that account.
She had, she said, called the attention of her ques-
tioner, the late master, to the filthy state of the
larder, the floor of which only had been cleaned some
days before.
Dr. W. E. Powell, the medicalofficer of the work-
house, was then called. He said he took office June
3, 1864. His salary was £55 per annum, with the
usual extra fees. He found all the drugs, except
quinine, disinfecting fluid, cod-liver oil, and hydro-
chloric acid. In March last he received a gratuity
from the guardians of £l5 in consideration of the
increase of patients, there haVing been an increase
of 26 per cunt. The greatest number of patients he
had had under his charge at one time was, he
thought, between 70 and 80 ; the average was 55.
Ile was in the house, visiting it daily for between an
hour and a half and two hours, when the Lancet
commissioners came, and he went over the house with
them. Ile was in utter ignorance of its being con-
templated to pay such a visit to this house, and he
had never written a line or taken any steps what-
ever to get them down. When they sent their cards
in to the master that official was going to serve din-
ner, and as that was the case witness went round
with the Commissioners. The first place visited was
the female upper syphilitic ward, where there were
seven patients. Ile had had 12 syphilitic patients in
the upper ward, 10 in the lower, and 7 in the fever
wards, besides threeinfants. The wards he described
were lighted and ventilated as stated in the Lancet.
The witness went on generally' to confirm the truth
of this picture, but he said the water-closet to the
upper ward was inside instead of outside, and he
could not define the lavatory as " miserable," but it
was generally dirty. The paupers, he allowed, had
to " do for" each other in the matter of attendance.
He had known ill effects from the nurse not being
in the wards, and he went on to narrate an instance.
A girl was in a dying state, and a pauper inmate
had to wait upon her. A hot brick was placed in the
bed to warm the girl's feet, and the heat of the brick
was such that the bed and bedding were set on fire,
and the girl died from the shock before the nurse
got there. The other inmates did not notice the
girl's dying ; but they were attracted by the
smell of the fire, and they found her dead. Her
feet were found to be scorched. There was no inquest
by the Coroner, but a Poor Law inquiry was held
on the cause, and the guardians in Feb., 1866, made
a minute that they were of opinion the sick wards
should not be left so long without the presence
a nurse.

After the inquiry had lasted nearly eight hours,
the proceedings were again adjourned, and will be
continued this morning (Friday) at half-past 9 a.m.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Nov. 14.
The prisoner Augustine Costello was again placed
at the bar in the Commission Court yesterday, and
indicted on the charge of treason-felony. Ile was
represented by the same counsel who defended him
after his first trial, and has no reason to regret that
he did not follow the course taken by some of his
confederates in attempting to conduct his own de-
fence. Already counsel for the Crown experiences
the difficulty of pushing up a case which has once

been rolled back upon them by the failure to reach
a verdict. Before a jury was sworn to try the pri-
soner, Mr. Heron handed in a plea on his behalf,
which raised two questions. One of these may give
some trouble to a court of appeal. It raised the
question that the jury on the first trial was im-
properly discharged. The other point was that one
of the jurors, who is a giaker, had not been sworn
on the Holy Evangelists, but only declared and
affirmed. The Attorney-General urged that the plea
should not be received. As regarded the swearing
of the juror, he thought the objection wholly unten-
able, and ono which should not have been brougbt
before the Court at all. With respect to the dis-
charge of the jury, he submitted that it was a matter
within the discretion of the Court. The fact was
upon the record, and he thought that was sufficient
in case of appeal. He citied authorities. Mr. Heron
referred to the ruling of the judge in the case of the
" Queen v. Newton," which was tried three times
at the Shropshire assizes in 1849, to the effect that
the plea was a good one, and that the proper time
to raise the objection was before a second jury was
sworn. Mr. Justice Keogh said the Chief Baron
concurred with him in opinion that the case was
directly in point, and that the plea ought to bo
received. The Attorney-General demurred, and
after argument the Court gave judgment for the
Crown. A jury was then sworn and the trial pro-
ceeded. '['he Attorney-General, in stating the case
for the prosecution, narrated the facts of
the Jacknell expedition, and submitted that
of the jury believed the story there was but one
issue to try—viz., whether the prisoner took part iu
it. Corydon repeated the evidence which he gave
on the first trial. He was cross-examined as to some
additional circumstances which he now mentioned,
but did not state before. In answer to one question
he said he had lost £lBO by the Fenian organisation.
He had saved that sum while in the American army,
and gave it to Col. Kelly, at his lodgings opposite
Philsborough Chapel, in presence of John Nolan
and Col. Burke, who is not yet arrested, and of
Gen. Halpin, the last prisoner tried. He got a re-
ceipt for it, signed " T. J. Kelly, for Jas. Stephens."
Ile forgot to mention Kelly at the last trial. Ile
lately met by accident a man in London who took
him to a Fenian meeting, where money was raised
for the defence of the Manchester prisoners. Never
saw the man before. At this stage of the trial the
Court was adjourned until this morning.
Au amusing incident occurred yesterd ty in the
head police-office. A boy, named Convill, an ap-
prentice to a chimney sweeper, was charged with
attempting to commit a felonious assault on his
master's daughter. The charged was proved, aid he
was sentenced to be imprisoned for 14 days and
kept to hard labour. While awaiting the arrival of
the police van which was to bring him to gaol he
was placed in a room at the basement story of the
court, which is used as a lock up, and there left in
company with other prisoners, it was supposed, in
safe custody. Scarcely, however, had the key been
turned in the door, when, turning to account his
professional skill, he plunged into the chimney,
ascended the flue with amazing agility, and getting
across th 3 roof descended another chimney and made

good his escape. His fellow prisoners gazed in
envious admiration, and bore without a murmur the
murky shower which came down on then during his
flight. The expression of disappointment in the face
of the constable in charge when he found that his
vigilance had been baffled would have formed an
interesting study for an artist.

The half-yearly meeting of the City of Dublin
Steam Packet Company was held yesterday at their
offices, Eden-quay, Mr. IV. Watson in the chair.
The report of the directors, which was unanimously
adopted, stated that the new steamer Kildare, which
had been built by the Messrs. Laird ler the Liver-
, pool traffic, was affording the utneot satisfaction.
Another vessel, which is to be called the Mullingar,
is in course of construction by AL,,ssrs. Walpole,
Webb, and Bewley, of this city, and will be launeted
in a few days. The Dublin Port and Docks Board,
in the constitution of which the company has taken
an active interest, will commence its duties in
January next. The directors anticipate that it
will fully recognise the importance of the steam in-
terest. A protracted correspondence has taken
place with the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board
respecting an increased tariff of rates sought to be
levied on goods conveyed in the company's vessels.
The directors object to the scale, but are willing
to submit to an equitable arrangement. A para.-
graph of special importance in the report recom-
mended the repurchase of the redeemable shares of
the Steam Shipbuilding Company, the rate of in-
terest on which is quite beyond the present value of
money. The directors suggest that, if it be neces-
sary to apply to Parliament for a new Act, power
might be taken to limit the number of directors.
The mail service has been maintained with undi-
minished speed and regularity, and the Lords of the
Treasury have at length acceded to the application
of the company for increased accommodation at
Holyhead, to enable them to keep the hulls of the
vessels properly cleaned. A dividend was declared
at the rate of 3 per cent., free of income-tax, out of
the profits of the company for the half-year, after
an allocation of 1 per cent. to augment the Parlia-
mentary contingency fund.

An explosion of gas took place this morning at 9
o'clock in the Clerk of the Peace's office, situate in
a part of the Court-house, in Green-street, occu-
pied by jurors and Crown witnesses. The gas bad
accumulated daring the night, and exploded when a
woman came to light the fire. The roof was shat-
tered, windows blown out, and furniture smashed
in an adjoining room where jurors had slept. They
were then at breakfast, and no one was irsjured.
The occurrence was acci
Costello's trial has not yet finished.

The following telegram has bean ree'2ivel at the

Irish-office :

FURTHER ADVENTURES 01, THE
FEMALE BARMAN.

In the early part of September last a person who
gave the name of Charles Arnold applied to Mr.
Durdle, superintendent of police on the Great Wes-
tern Railway, Paddington, for a situation as super-
numerary porter, and as business was brisk at the
time, and the credentials produced of a first class
character, the person was at once sot to work to
assist in unloading waggons at the goods station,
and remained at this employment until Wednesday
last, when the person complained of being taken
seriously ill, and was in consequence allowed to go
home, and was put to bed. The landlady of the
house was under the impression that a mustard
plaster on the chest would benefit her lodger, pre-
pared one, and took it to her lodger's bedroom, and
finding that the lodger was fast asleep, she unbut-
toned the shirt front to enable her to put on the
plaster, when to her wonderment she discovered
that the railway porter was a woman. The lodger
was awakened, and, after a hurried explanation had
been given the landlady was induced to give a pro-
mise not to divulge Lhe sex of her lodger, the latter

having decamped at an early hour on Thursday
morning, taking with her a pass-ticket and several
articles of clothing belonging to other railway por-
ters lodging iu the same house. Since then in-
quiries have been made respecting the antecedents
of this pseudo Charles Arnold, and it is found that
she is no other than the notorious Mary Ann Walker,
" the female barman," who figured in a police-court
a few months ago on a charge of purloining money
from her master's till, and on being convicted was
sentenced to a term of hard labour at the Ilouse of
Correction, and subsequently sent to the Elizabeth
Fry Refuge, Hackney, where she appears to have
caused great excitement among the inmates by re-
presenting herself to be a man, and she was ejected
from the establishment as being incorrigible. After
leaving there she found her wav to a Mrs. Saint,
who keeps a wardrobe shop at 59, Carlisle-street,
Lisson-grove, telling her she had run away from the
above institution in consequence of the ill-treatment
she had experienced there, and a few days after-
wards she obtained the situation of porter in the
manner above referred to, but it is not known from
whom she got the testimonials as to character.
During the period of her employment on the Great
Western Railway it is said she was always the first
in the gang of porters to begin work, and the last
to leave off. She was invariably civil and obliging,
and always conducted herself with propriety. She
evinced a great antipathy to practical joking, and
frequently threatened her fellow-porters to report
them for misconduct if they ventured to begin
larking with her. The following are some parti-
culars of her history :
Her father had been a publican, but was now
dead. Shortly after leaiing boarding-school she
took to wearing male habiliments. Soon afterwards
she left home, and the next that was heard of her
was her fulfilling the situation of porter at Jesus
College, Cambridge, where her sex was discovered,
and from which place she absconded. She then
turned up as a " booking-clerk," employed by the
London and North-Western Railway Company, at
their station at Birmingham ; and from which situ-
ation she was discharged on account of her getting
drunk. After an-interval of several months, during
which she was employed iu a very subordinate posi-

tion on one of the Cunard line of steamers, she
appeared as an engine-cleaner on the Great Nor-
thern Railway, at King's-cross, and this situation
she abruptly left on account of her behaviour
having excited the suspicion of her companions. She
next appeared as the " Female Barman." Both
her parents are dead, but she has two sisters living,
both holding responsible situations, one as house-
keeper in a nobleman's establishment, the other as
governess in a gentleman's family at Cambridge.
Her aunt, who is a highly-respectable lady, residing
in Chapel-street, Belgravia, has made repeated but
ineffectual attempts to reclaim her. To those who
are acquainted with her secret she is fond of relat-
ing her many adventures, but to others she adopts
a reticence amounting to moroseness. Nothing is
yet known of her present whereabouts, but In-
spector Acason, of the Great Western Railway
Company's police, is on her track, and if he suc-
ceeds in apprehending her she will be charged with
felony, and also with obtaining a situation under
false pretences.

WOLF lIIINTIN,/ IN FRANCE. —Accou ts from
Kergouet, in the Morbihan, state lira. wolves had been
lately committing great ravages on the farms in that
neighbourhood, and that in consequence several battues
were ordered. The first day a she wolf and two cubs were
killed by the peasants armed with pitchforks, but an old
male, known to have committed great destruction in the
commune, escaped. Two days later a farmer going out
early in the meriting noticed a fresh track, and immediately
gave an alarm. All the young men in the village imme-
diately gave chase, and surrounding a thicket iu which they
supposed the animal to be, succeeded iu killing what turned
out to be the old wolf which they had lost on the former
occasion. Shortly after six cubs fell into the hands of the
huntsmen, four of which were instantly despatched, and
the other two preserved with the intention of training them
for the chase. Wild boars are also numerous in the sante
district, and hunting has already commenced. Six have
been killed, but one of them managed to severely wound
one of the huntsmen, ripping up his thigh and breast. The
man's life, however, is not in danger.
