THE K.INGSWO(Lii REFORMATORY

SCHOOL.

The annual meeting of this institution, which
was established about four years ago, and is one of
the largest reformatory schools in the kingdom, was
held at Bristol on Wednesday last. The chair Was
occupied by Mr. W. Miles, M.P., the president .
and among other friends of the reformatory move"
ment present were Dr. Elliott, the Dean of Bt Late"
Miss Mary Carpenter Mr. B. Baker, and ",'
Naish. The report, read by Mr. Hartaud,' the boo.
secrefary, spoke with satisfaction of the present
condition of the school and its progress during the
past year. The actual number of inmates on the
30th of September was 51. Of that number 39
were admitted during the preceding 12 months, and
as 27 had left in that period there was an increase
of 12 in the number of boys in the school. Of the
boys who had left the institution 8 had emigrated,
2 had been placed out in England, 6 had returned
to their friends, 1 had been discharged as le.
corrigible, 1 was discharged on medical grounds, 6
were transferred to other schools, 2 had absconded
and bad not been recovered, and 1 1134
died. Of the boys who had emigrated bet',
in the past and in previous years the col'
mitten had reason to speak with great satisfac-
tion, as alo of the conduct of those who had been
placed out with their approval in this count*
They could not speak so favourably of those whohad returned to their own homes. The princtliala
difficulties with which the superintendent all
teachers have had to contend had arisen, first, from
the advanced age which many of the boys bad a,L;
just
short before joining the school, in many cases t?"
short on the limits laid down by the Act of Perlis'
ment ; and, secondly, from the facilities for eh"
sconding afforded by the peculiar position of the
school, which were far from being adequately rt.o",
by the punishment allowed by the statute—,Pz..,
three months' imprisonment, and that not in add':
tion to the assigned period of detention. To me°
the first of these evils the committee have come to a
resolution not to admit any boy into the school wilese
age at the time of conviction exceeds 13 years '
and with the view of getting rid of the older boys,
they have applied a portion of their funds in pro'
rooting their emigration in a considerable number
of cases, taking advantage of an excellent open"
ing secured them by Miss Carpenter. The other
evil, they say, they can only hope to see effectual-11
counteracted by the setting apart of establishments
as distinctly penal reformatories, to which the re'
fractory inmates of other reformatories might 1/
transferred for the remainder of their original
period of detention. The number of boys who had
absconded from the school—some of them as often..
as three or four times—had been 17 during the last
year, of whom two had not been recovered. The
treasurer's receipts, including a balance in handl
the Ist of October, 1856, of 4681. 18s. 5d., had
amounted to 1,5761. 18s. 7d. The sum receive
from subscriptions and donations was 1771. 31'
from the Government, 8381. ss. ; and from the
parents of boys, 11/. 2s. 11d. The expeuditur3
was 1,1281. 15s. 91, the average number of boys ILL,
the school being 47—leaving a balance in hand 0.1
4481. 2s. 10d. Since the making up of the Oa
counts several subscriptions had been received, se
there would likewise have to be added a sum from
the Council of Education which last year was 1930
and about 1001. as a payment from the Somerset'
shire magistrates.

MARYLEBONE BOARD OF GUARDIANS'

ALLEGED CRUEL TREATMENT OF WORK'
HOUSE CHILDREN.
Yesterday the directors and guardians of the poor of
Marylebone met in the board-room of the workhouses
Mr. Charles Beevor in the chair, for general business.
The report of a special committee was brought up in
reference to the alleged cruel treatment of two children
in the workhouse schools, the committee condemning the,
conduct of the assistant-schoolmistress for such condos:
towardsthe children, and urging that no power shoo!!
be given to inferior officers to chastise the children with
out the knowledge and sanction of the superior officero
of the house.
The conduct of the assistant-schoolmistress, as eg.

was harsh in the extreme. It appeared that one of the
chiblren committed a slight ofrer.ce at breakfast, for
which the little creature was sent to bed, and half el
hour afterwards, when, as estplained by Mr. Potter, "I'
warmth of temper must have passed away, the assistant
vent to the bed, took the unprotected child up, and s°
sever ly beat the poor little creature with a shoe, as t°
leave marks of violence about the person for days after-
wards. Mr. Nodes said that when he saw the child,
some days after the beating, there were black marks re'
reaining from the violence it had received on the po,te'
rior parts of the body.
The disclosures created much disgust and indiguatioa
throughout the board, and
Mr. Churchwarden SODEN, after commenting tiVii
the harshness displayed in the outrage, urged that tb
committee ought, under the circumstaeces here stated,
to consider such a person as the assistant-schoolinietres°
entirely unfitted for the situation. (Hear, hear.)
that
Dr. BACHLIOFFNER, therefore, rose, and moved tu,
the assistant schoohnistreser, Miss Rowland, should PP
cieniss(el. (Much approbation.)
Mr. ENGLAND seconded the motion.
The RECTOR fully agrtel in such a proposition:
The conduct of the assistant schoolmistress he considers
o
unpardonable. (Bear.) If a governess, or servant, In
his own household treated his chillren in such a rneoneil
dismissal would be the immediate result, and he woo
deal with the case of pauper children as with his oirP*
(Hear.)
Mr. BROOKS said that, although chairman of the o°l.3.l;mitte•e,
mittee, Real having to side with the majority of soud
committee in the report presented, yet he now felt 130013
to acquieuce in the woman's dismissal. (Hear.)
Mr. Cole, Mr. Salmon, and others contended that
snob a course would lie too severe, as it would be the
ruin of the party accused if she was dismissed.
After some further discussion the question was put tis
the vote, when the motion for Rovalaud's dismissal leo°
lost by a very similar majority on the opposite
id
carried the motion for merely " admonishing 'the osfaoetil
concerned in the notorious woman-flogging case.
The decision, however, remains open. for confirmation
or nou-confirmation at the next meeting of the board.
The board then adjoured.

ALLEGED RELIGIO&SI PERSECUTION AT -
ROYAL SEA BATHING INFIRMARY.

Ye terday, at the weekly meeting of the guardians °1
the poor of St. Marylehone, held in the Beard-roost
o 'of
of the workhouse, Maryleboueoad, the question
the recent alleged persecution of inmates a the R1.Y.7;
Sea Bathing Infirmary, at Margate, on account of tn
religious opinions (adjourned from the previous Meeting)
was again the subject of a long and exciting discussion:,,,

of proselytism pursued in the infirmary, and that he Ivas
subject to such persecution because he would not attend
divine service and Protestant prayer, that he was obligee'
to discharge hiniself and return to the workhouse.
Mr. BROOKS had moved and Mr. NODES seconded s
resolution to the effect that the board, having duly in.
vestigated the subject, were of opinion that the state'
merits in Conway's letter were not substantiated.
Mr. SALitiON, who had moved the adjournment, e::
:
pressed a desire to do nothing to injure lit! valuable a
noble an institution as the Royal Sea Bathing
fact
firmary, but he could not shut his eyes to the
that it was proved that there was a rule corapellieg
every able inmate to attend divine service. gore'
fiver, since their last meeting, a letter had come °:)
light which proved that the rule not only existed be,
was enforced. He read a letter dated the 24th °'
September last, addressed to the secretary of the goer'
diens, from Mr. Check afield, the secretary and seperio'
tendent of the infirmary, ceiling for the immediate rei
in oval of an inmate named John Massey, on account eci
his refusal to attend divine service and morning °e—
levening.prayer, in accordance with the rules of the jai;
stitution. (Hear, hear.) lie understood that Massey
was also a Roman Catholic. Mr. Salmon moved,h el:
an amendment that the board were of opinion
many of the statements of Thomas Conway bad
te"
been
disproved, but they consider a most intolerant r%
exits in the regulations of the Margate Sea Bathing
Infirmary ; and the board strongly recommend a
the directors of that valuable institution to relon
without delay the rule directing and insisting, a
pain of dismissal, the attendance upon forms of Yo'
ship presented by the Established Church upon melt
~
inmates who from conscientious objection, differ from
the doctrines of the Established Church.
Mr. COLE seconded the amendment, and contended
that the same act of Parliament which prevented 001?;
pul.ory measures with regard to religious worshiP
workhouses equally applied to thoee like the Margate
Infirmary.
'lnc fse v Mr. A STLEY and the Rev. Me, roon"l3b,t
strongly protested against the as,umption that the obi
was enforced against those who from scruples did ne
attend Divine service. Ho had seen Massey at pill ;I. 6:

stood he called himself a Chattier,
Mr. TAVERNER denounced the importation of Massey a
case into the discussion, and, alter a very warns discus"
sion in
swhich the rector, Mr. England, Dr. Bachbon‘
ner, Mr. Skelton, and the rev. geutleman took part,
Mr. BROOKS replied, and called upon the board not t°
injure so valuable a public institution by an adverse
vote.

Toe amendment Vali ultimately carried on a divißi")
by a majority of 9 to 8, on which
TLe itev. Mr. ABTLEY excitedly congratulated the
board on their justice. He was called to order, and
sabsequently made an apology.
0,1 the auleudinent becoming the subdtantive reFolu-
tion,
Dr. BACHELOFFNER moved to leave out the wordo
"most intolerant," and it was then carried as an ori.

ginal motion, and the proceedings terminated.
