lic opinion. (Hear, bear.) To that opinion after

powers greater than those which- we possess, but
with confidence because I have confidence in the
generosity and justies of the people of England.

Colonel P. WILLIAMS returned thanks for the
borough members Of the county.- e -

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in pro-
posing the tenant farmers of the county, said it had
been observed by some onb at the late general elec-
tion that the eyes of the tenant farmers were at last
opened. He had always, however, been of opinion
that the tenant farmers were wide awake. (Laugh-
ter.) No one who had travelled over the county of
Bucks and witnessed its cultiva.ion
_could suppos3
that its cultivators were deficient in intelligence ;
but, successful as the farmer was in the exercise of
his art, he would say that he posesseellalso moral
qualities which all would ackliowl(dgo but which
those only who had lived long in the country could
fully appreciate. (near, hoar.) The last statistical
returns proved that the tenant farmers of England
were the greatest employers of labonr, and he need
hardly say that the greatest employers of labour
must necessarily be one of the most important.claQs
of the community. It was to the tenant farmers of
England he owed his introduction into publicai,
Lad
life. They were his earliest . friend=, and they

he added,•that when he - proposed the toast there
was some mixture in it of private affection.
The toast was drunk with great applause, and
replied to by one of the tenant farmers.
The health of the Chairman was proposed by the
Doke of Buckingham and responded to ; and some
other toasts having been given the party separated
about 9 o'clock.

.ALL EGED ILL- USAGE AND NEGLECT.

On Tuesday an investigation took place before Mr.
Wakley, corouer for West Middlesex, and a highly re•
apectable jury, in the committee-room of the Hospital
for Sick Children, Great Ormond.street, Queen-square,
Bloomsbury, as to the cause of the death of one of the
patients, Sophia Amelia Kipps, 4 yeMS and 8 months
old, alleged to have been occasioned by the ill-usage of
one of the nurses, in striking and otherwise neglecting
her.
The parents of the subject of the inquiry reside in
Somers Town. The child died in the hospital on Monday
se'nnight, and was taken home by the mother. The in-
quest was appointed to be held at the Seymour Arms,
Seymour-street, Somers Town, but owing to an absence
or all-important evidence, the Coroner assented to the
removal back to the hospital, and fixed the inquiry as
above stated.
The following evidence was adduced :
Sophia Amelia Hipps, the mother of the child, the
wife of a mechanic, said—My child was an inmate of
the hospital a month before her death. I visited her
(jail.. Soon after her admission she became a perfect
skeleton, and coveted with sores. She told me the nurse
slapped her, and when she wanted to be shifted, refused
in consequence of which her person became chafed, and
she broke out in sores. The child was refused all kind
of drink. I applied to Dr. West, the resident physician
but did not tell him what my child had said respecting
her ill-treatment by the nurse Emma Blinks.

Two of the patients, lit le girls under 10 years of age,
were examined—They laid on spring beds, close to the
deceased. They underwent a rigid examination by the
learned coroner, the result of which proved that the de-
ceased had not been beaten by the nurse Emma Blinks
Sophia Saunders, another Lurt.e, was txamined- —She
said the dec. wed was treated with the utmost attention
and kindness.
Dr. West, physician to the hospital, said the child was .
attended da ly by him. She was sickly when admitted.
Every luxury that the child of a nobleman could have
'she had. With respect to the ill treatment alleged,
Blinks, the nurse, was a most kindly woman. The in-
stitution was most particular in selecting their nurses.io
The child died of disease of the mesenteric glands,w
prevented all nourishment from entering the blood—
hence the cause of the attenuation and the sores.
