tive but a melancholy document. The first thing
which strikes us is the affectation of lofty superiority
which the Secretary-Assistant of the Poor-law Com-
missioners at Somerset-house appears in this, as in
ill other instances, to adopt towards all complainants.
In this wholesome practice we observe the Secretary
to the Police Commissioners in Scotland-yard is also
eminent. King is a schoolmaster, and is really too
fairly matched, as an epistolary writer, with the Mr.
Goode who answers him, to merit so marked a tone
of somewhat insolent or patronising communication
as is adopted by the latter :

The next singular features of this Report are, that
only one witness is examined; that he is an Assistant
Poor-law Commissioner ; that he produces none of the
parties, but gives in and comments upon his own notes
of their examination, on their several depositions in
writing. Was this the best course for eliciting truth ?
Be that as it may, he handed to the Committee a
letter from King to R. N. Shawe, Esq., chairman of
the Woodbridge board of guardians. This letter, his
own charges thereon, and the letters of the Poor-law
Commissioners to the union clerk, well tell their own
tale, and enable us to leave the reader to form-his own
conclusions on the facts at issue

" Honoured Sir,—Notwithstanding my report of the
conduct of the nurse of the workhouse of Woodbridge
Union on Friday last, her cruelty and neglect has in-
creased rather than diminished. This morning a poor
man, named Haggar, was found dead and stiff in his bed,
although I entreated her to watch over him, as I was
sure he was dying. She called me from my bed to as-
sist her to tie the, bedclothes on him with a rope, that
she might not ba compelled to sit up with him all night;
her general "conduct is certainly the most cruel and un-
feeling I ever witnessed. I discharged myself this morn-.
ing entirely, because I could not behold such treatment.
This-is the third time in twelve weeks four men have been
found dead, without the least attention having been paid
to their dying moments. I am truly sorry that such
neglect has never been reported to the board by governor
or matron ithe fact is, they are all equally guilty ; and
it is expedient to conceal each other's faults, and, thus
combined, deceive the guardians of the union. I am,
however, fully convinced that you, Sir, will not permit
your name to go forth to the world as an abettor of such
cruel conduct.

"It is a positive fact that the porter has been known to
threaten the master, and tell him he could ruin him at
any time, and that he would do so if it were not for his
wife and children ; it is likewise true that the porter at
one time left his office for two nights. in consequence of
quarrelling with the master, and that the master sent fur
him again, and never reported' such co'nduct. The con-
sicfnence was, the porter soon found an opportunity to
gratify a base desire to seduce the unfortunate females
in the workhouse (one of whom bore him a child, which
is still in the workhouse). For three weeks before
Christmas, I had scarcely any rest, night or day, in con-
sequence of the severe illness oft wo persons, named Garrod
and Chilton, whom I attended to, unassisted by the nurse.
The man Garrod laid six days in his own filth, because
the nurse refused to trouble the matron for clean linen.
When his son, William Garrod, came to visit him, I
told him to call on you, and report the state he found
him in; he would have done so had you not been from
twine at the time; he, however, told the matron, who
soon after came into the ward with linen; it was found
necessary even to change his bed. Noue of the sick
men had clean linen that week, as Master Samuel Con-
stable was expected home from London on the Satur-
day, and the matron was engaged in preparing for him.
As soon as William Garrod left, the matron came and
ordered every man in the ward to strip in her presence,
and put a clean shirt on. This was done about four
o'clock in the afternoon on the Sabbath day previous to
Master Constable's arrival. The nurse never did the
least thing to assist poor Garrod during the whole
time of his affliction, and very seldom inquired after him.
His affliction was of that character as to require clean
Ibsen every day. About ten days before he died, I was
assisted by. a female pauper, Anne Davy, to wash him
every morning ; and as he was unable to be removed, it
was expedient to draw a clean sheet under him as he
laid in the bed. Nurse told Garrod if he would give
her some money, she would take care of him ; he pro-
mised to do so, and when the wife of William Garrod
came, he requested her to give nurse 6d., which she did
in my presence, yet afterwards did nothing whatever for
him ; the medical officer never examined him, nor did
anything for him, although he had a wound discharging
at least half a pint of very offensive matter daily. The
woman above alluded to was the only person who as-
sisted me to clean him every morning. lie ate no food
for ten days, except what his sons brought him ; I
several times requested nurse to get him some sago ; but
she said there was none in the house. I sat up with him
the last three nights of his life, and never had my clothes
off during the last week of Garrod's life. My care was
divided between him and p6or Chilton, who was actually
starved to death. Mr. Wilkin ordered nurse to be
sure to give him some sago : in the afternoon nurse told
me Master Samuel was very bad with a sore throat, and
she would be obliged to attend to him, consequently poor
Chilton received no sago ; I did not inform nurse of his
death until she had laid his bread on his bed, when she
said, There's your bread, Chilton.' I then said,
Nurse, he is dead and stiff.' She exclaimed, Oh
God! what shall I do.' I was so much affected as to
render !me incapable of doing anything further for a
time. Poor Chilton inquired if his sago was come; I
told him no. This was about an hour and a half before
he died. lie said, lam wholly starved!' Although
I sat up to watch these poor unfortunate men three
nights, I had no fire allowed me. As it respects the
treatment of the sick children, this was (if possible)
worse than that exercised towards the men, as in addi-
tion to neglect. they were beaten when they complained.
1n,1840, nurse beat an orphan child, four years of age,
so violently as to cause his death eight hours after, and
totally ruined another boy.
" My dear Sir, I implore you to search patiently and
diligently to ascertain the truth of these statements, for
I have been careful to adhere strictly to the truth.
" Did I not know that you :would do justice I would
not write to you, but take other steps .to expose such
cruelty and wickedness. I have not entertained malice,
but am utterly governed by a fear to God and com-
misseration for the misfortunes of my fellow-creatures.
" Yesterday a great many new patients were sent in
the ward by the governor ; these will, no doubt, receive
kind attention during the present week, that they may
have nothing to complain of • their testimony therefore
amounts to nothing. The only persons to be examined
are Linstead, Bush, Flatt, and the woman Davy cr
Davies, and such children as I shall name before the
Committee. I hope to be allowed to ask such ques-
tions as shall best elucidate the truth. Every refuge
will be sought by each officer to mislead and deceive,
but I confide in your judgment and benevolence to act
with uprightness and Integrity, for such a den of ini-
quity ought to exist no longer. I have not tasted food
since yesterday morning ; it is now one o'clock Tues-
day ; probably I shall not receive any until I return to
the house on Thursday morning. I am, honoured Sir,
your most obedient and
grateful servant,
(Signed) THOMAS KING.
" (Witness.) After reading the foregoing letter, I
proceeded to shape its various accusations into separate
charges, as affording the best means of methodising the
proceedings ; and these charges I framed as follows
1. A charge against Mary Dunn, the nurse,r having
neglected to watch William Haggar, whilst dying, and
for having called upon Thomas King to assist her in
fastening the old man's bedclothes over him with a rope,
so that she might not have to sit up with him during the
night on which he died, namely, -the 14th of January,
1844. 2. A charge against the porter for having seduced
female inmates of the workhouse, and for having had a
child, then in the workhouse, by one of them. 3. A
charge against the mastersfor having connived at the im-
moral acts of the porter, because that officer was able to
ruin him, and for having neglected, for a similar reason,
to report the porter's absence, on one occasion for two or
three days, from the workhouse. 4. A charge against
Mary Dunn, the nurse ; Mrs. Constable, the matron ;
and Mr. Wilkin, the medical officer, for gross neglect of
John Garrod, an old man, who died on the
23d December, 1843. 5. A charge against Mary Dunn,
the nurse, for gross neglect of. William Chilton, who

nauseous in mixed metals is entirely extracted--resisting all acids—
may be cleaned as silver, and is manufactured into every article for
the Table and Sideboard.

THE INSPIRATION OF A PINCH.—On the produc-
tion of La Sonnanzbutt, Malibran and Templeton were
the original Amina and Eli ino in England, and Bellini
witnessed, on the first night, the triumphs achieved by
his favourite work on an English stage. The composer
came round to the stage, embraced Templeton after the
performance, at the same time paying him the most flat-
tering compliments, and with tears of exultation pro-
mising him he would write for him a part that would
" immortalise him." The method that poor Malibran
took to inspire Templeton with a knowledge of dramatic
effects was somewhat ingenious; when she wished him
to express rage, which she could not otherwise bring
him to do, she gave him a hearty pinch on the arm,
whilst appearing to the audience to bestow caresses,
which of course her jealous lover repulsed. 'On one oc-
casion he stamped with actual pain and rage, not under-
standing her motive; it produced a most electric effect
upon the audience—a hint which he has ever since acted
upon.—Musical Review.
