PARISH OFFICIALISM.

Mr. Grimbly, a 1711;ou Surgeon at Banbury, re-
cently a.ddress•ed a very courteous and temperate
letter to the Board of Guardians, pointing out that
the remuneration afforded for his services left him
positively ous of pocket, without calculating
anything for the "great labour involved in al
conscientious discharge of his duties. He
therefore asked for an advance of salary. This
reasonable dem'ind so exasperated the guardians
that, without paying any a tention to his request,
they iminediate'y vamped up against him a charge
of neglect, and bummoned him to attend its inves-
gation. " Qwe mistris lucis tam dira cu-
pido !" The charge proved to be utterly without
foundation except in the ingenious malice of
its inventors, and only aided another to the many
instances of insult and oppression afforded by
the behaviour of parish officials to their sur-
geons. Foiled in this disgrac-ful attempt, the
guardians resorted to more familiar weapons phe onsdirwien-
suiting and annoying Mr. Grimbly until
tip the appo ntm-ni. We are glad to perceive that
the neighbouring practitioners have expressed their
sympathy with him, and pledged themselves not to
accept the vacant office.
It is difficult to comprehend what can be the
cause of a certain ge eras depravity wh.ch sdems
sp-ciaily to afflict parochial boards of guardians.
