THE WOODBRIDGE UNION.
ALLEGED -NEGLECT AND INHUMANITY
TOWARDS SICK PAUPERS IN THE
• WOODBRIDGE UNION POOR-TIOUSE.
The "First Report from the Committee on Medical
Poor-law Relief with Minutes of Evidence," has just
been issued from the Vote-office. This Select Com •
mittee, having had referred to them the petition of
Thomas King (the heads of which are sufficiently set
forth in an article which appears to-day in another
part of our paper), report the same, together with the
evidence of Sir John Walsham, Baronet, one of the
Assistant Poor-law Commissioners. It is an instruc-
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
all 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.
Coode who answers him, to merit so marked a tone
of somewhat insolent or patronising communication
as is adopted by the latter :
" Admiral's Head Inn, Ipswich, March 2, 1844.
" Gentlemen,—Having forwarded to you certain docu-
ments containing further charges against the officers of
Nacton workhouse, Woodbridge Union, I am much
surprised at the delay that has been permitted to take
place. I beg you will allow me four days' notice, as the
greater portion of my witnesses are now residing out of
the house.—l am, &c.

PARTNERSHIPS DISSOLVED._

THE ARMED GENTRY OF
IRELAND.

died, aged forty-two, on the 24th of December, 1843.
6. A charge against Mary Dunn, the nurse, for cruel
conduct towards the sick children generally, and more
particularly for having beaten a boy, named James Al-
derson, to death in 1840; and for having also beaten an-
other boy, named William Roe, so severely in the same
year, as to rain him totally, causing the loss of his
limbs, and his subsequent death. Those were the
charges which were framed in the presence of Thomas
King, of the master of the workhouse, and of the other
officers implicated. I then called upon Thomas King
to state whether he .was prepared to go into
these charges. lie stated that he was per-
fectly prepared to go into them. and all the
witnesses he suggested were subsequently examined upon
oath by myself. Their depositions arc all here ; but as
the papers are rather voluminous, perhaps the Commit-
tee would wish me shortly to state the course which I

A return has been published of those persons in
Ireland who have registered arms, under the new Act,
to the amount of twenty stand and upwards. The
list is amusing. It contains the names of the most
prominent alarmists in the whole country, being com-
posed almost exclusively of that class, fellows armed
to the teeth, like Richard the Third in the Tower,
and

" Signed, by order of the Board,
"Thomas King, Woodbridge. " GEO. COODE."
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 llaggar, was found dead and stain 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 be 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 ; the 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. _ _ _

" You had better go on with the investigation, as you
appear to have it before you.—Having framed those
charges, I called upon Thomas King to give his evi-
dence in support of the fourth charge (namely, the
charge against the nurse, matron, and medical officer,
for having grossly neglected John Garrod), as the me-
dical officer was anxious to be released, and the copy of
his deposition, which I will put in, will show the pur-
port of such evidence :
" Thomas King, having been sworn and examined.
smith :—John Garrod, an old pauper of eighty-four
years of age, went into the sick ward on or about the
end of October, 1843, the same day as myself. Nurse
stripped him and put him to becL At.that time Garrod
said ho had a bag containing 16s. 6d. in his pocket ; on
the 28th November, Garrod, who had previously got
something better, became worse, and took to his bed
again. From the 28th November till the 3d December,
Garrod had no clean linen at all. I told nurse of the
want of the linen every morning. She answered that
she could not trouble the matron for clean linen, as Gar-
rod had had his linen only a fortnight, and there was
none allowed for a shorter period than a month. Gar-
rod's son, William, came in the afternoon of Sunday the
3d December aforesaid; I told him the state his father
was in, and advised him to call upon Mr. Shawe, the
chairman, and I requested him not to mention it down
stairs. Shortly after William Garrod had left the ward
the matron and nurse came into it; the matron said,
What for is all. this piece of work about
clean linen? I won't be blamed for nurse's ne-
glect. I laid out the shirts on Saturday, and
nurse having neglected to come for them
the porter put them back again. As for you, men, I will
report you all to Mr. Edgar, and William Garrod shall
never come and see his father as long as he lives ;' and
turning to the nurse, she added, Give all these men a
clean shirt ; they shall strip in my presence before I
leave the room.' (This was about four o'clock, p.m., on
the aforesaid Sunday.) As we had had only one candle
for the six days from the 28th November to the 3d
December, Linstead said in my presence to the matron,
I have one favour to ask of you—allow us a candle in
the room at night, as Garrod and King are often out of
bed, and fall on us and hurt us ;' to which the matron
replied, that nurse was to give them one candle a night
till she ordered her to leave it off.
" John G arrod required constant attendance, as from the
character of his affliction lie could not perform the duties
of nature without assistance ; and from watering his bed
-he required clean sheets every morning.
" About 10 days before he died, a gathering which
Garrod had broke, and I told nurse that she hail better
inform Mr. Wilkin of it. It is of no use,' she answered,
to tell Mr. Wilkin about it, as Garrod is an old man,
and he can do him no good.' I replied, It is
your duty, nurse, at any rate, to inform Mr. Wilkin
of it.'
" On the following day, which was the next medical
day, Mr. Wilkin did not come himself, but his assistant,
Mr. Smith did, and inquired how the old man was.'
When, as I was going to speak, nurse said, I have told
him, King, about Garrod ;" upon which Mr. Smith di-
rected that he should be washed and kept clean.
" On the next medical day, viz., Monday, the 18th De-
cember, Mr. Wilkin came ; and when he got to the bed
said:A Well, how is old Garrod getting on?' No reply
that I heard was made, and Mr. Wilkin said, He has
got a great deal of fever, nurse, and you must not al-
low him any beer.'
" After Mr. Wilkin went, nurse called me into a sepa-
rate room and said, As you have been attending to
Garrod, who must not have beer, you shall have his
meat and beer, and let him have your broth.'
" And it was so arranged. At the same time, viz.,
about ten days before be died, William Garrod's wife
brought him a cake, and on the Thursday before he
died a loaf of bread, which he could not eat, and which
nurse told me to take.
" On the Sunday before ho (J. Garrod) died, William
Garrod, John's son, came with two other men, and
brought the old man half a pint of port wine with some
biscuits and oranges. Nurse told me to take care of
the biscuits and oranges, and she took care of the port
wine.
" The old man had some biscuit soaked in wine,
which I gave him three times a day, about two table-
spoonfuls a time. This I told nurse was not enough to
support him, and that she should ask for some sago for
him. She said there was none in the house. As he got
worse, I told nurse ho required more attendance at
night, and she answered, that then I must attend to him
myself, for she could not. I said to her that the nights
were cold, and begged that she would ask for some fire.
She at first refused, but afterwards went down, and on
her return said the governor had company, and she
could not speak to him. This was three days before
Garrod died. On the following morning, viz., Friday,
the 22d December, I told nurse that Garrod was worse,
and she answered, ' I shall be glad when he is dead, as
old men are so much trouble, that they ought to die
when they can't do for themselves.' I said, Nurse, I
am astonished at you.' And she then said, You
know what I mean, King ; I mean, that when they can't
do for themselves, it is a good thing when it pleases
God to take them.'
" From about ten days before, I and Anne Davy used
to wash him every morning till he died, and nurse was
only present on two occasions whilst Davy and I were
washing him.
" On the Friday morning, the morning before Garrod
died, nurse said, when we were putting on Garrod's clean
shirt, I hope this is the last clean shirt you'll want.'
" On the same day Mr. Edgar read the prayers for the
sick in the ward, being the only day on which I have
heard the chaplain read prayers in the ward. I used to
read the Scriptures three times a day to Garrod myself.
" On Saturday morning, the 23d of December, Garrod
died about two o'clock, A.M. I went and told nurse
about twenty minutes past two, and I helped her to lay
him out.
" Some time before Garrod's death, when his daugh-
ter-in-law was present, he told nurse that he wanted his
money, to which she answered, The governor has got it;
you can't have it.' Garrod said then, If you don't go
down for it, I'll see the governor myself.' A few mi-
nutes afterwards nurse asked how much there was. He
answered, There was 16s. 6d. when I came on the
room. To which nurse replied, There is only 10s.
now;' and on his exclaiming, ' Then you have robbed
me,' nurse said, I have not told it, but you shall have
what there is;' and, turning the money out before him,
she counted it, and there was 13s. 6d. Garrod then told
his daughter-in- law to give the nurse 6d., which she did,
and he gave 10s. to the daughter-in-law to take home
with her, leaving 3s. in his pocket. William Garrod also
told me he would give me ls. when his father died, and
he gave me this shilling, by nurse's permission, I having
first refused. On the Sunday after the old man's death,
nurse told William Garrod, who had more than once of-
fered to give me something, that lie ought to bring me
some tobacco, and be did bring me an ounce.

We have no room for Sir J. Walsham's further
evidence ; but we pray attention to the premises, and
the conclusion from those premises, of the intelligent
and merciful Poor-law Commissioners finding on Sir
J. W.'s report to them, The notion of leaving it to
such men to decide whether or not cruel charges are
proved, is an absurdity of which we desire no better
proof than their meek suggestion " of the views"
they entertain to such delinquents as Constable and
his wife, who had so long tolerated—and, but for
King, would probably still have done so to this day--
the fiendish brutality of the nurse, Mary Dunn.
"Poor-law Commissioners' Office, Somerset House,
" 20th February, 1844.
" Sir,—The Poor-law Commissioners have had under
their consideration the report of the Assistant Commis-
sioner, Sir John Walsham, informing them of the facts
elicited at an inquiry which ho held at the Nacton work-
house on the 24th ultimo, and on subsequent days, when
certain charges against the officers of that workhouse
contained in a letter which an inmate of the house,,
Thomas King, had addressed, on the 15th ultimo, to
Mr. Shawe, the chairman, were investigated by the As-
istant Commissioner.
" The charges, framed from Thomas Ding's letter,
were these :
" 1. A charge against Mary Dunn, the nurse, for
having neglected to watch William Hag gar, whilst dying,
and for having called on Thomas King_ t c assist her in
fastening the old man's bed-clothes over him with a rope,
so that she might not have tQ sit up with him during
the night on which he dieil viz., the 14th January, 1814.
" 2. A charge
fenaile 'against the orter for having seduced
of the workhouse, and for having bad a
chithen in the workhouse, by ono of them.
"3, A charge against the master, for having connived
at the immoral 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 the gross neglect of John Garrod, an old man,
who died on the 23d December, 1843.
" 5. A charge against Mary Dunn, the mac, for gross

" Intending deep suspicion."

There is Lord Lorton with sixty-three stand ;
trigger, perhaps, for every cabin razed to the ground
upon his wide patrimonial demesnes. The Marquis
of Westmeath can take the field with his peppering
gamekeeper, in character and equipment like Robin-
son Crusoe and Friday. Lord Bernard is loaded with
barrels like a brewer's horse. The Earl of
Donoughtnore has guns enough to fit out
the whole tribe of his "blood relations. The brave
Earl of Glengall is bristling with all manner of mor-
tal engines, not forgetting the long bow ! The Earl
of fosse has his telescope guarded, in the centre of
his own well-garrisoned town, with pieces of the
longest range. Some of the specific enumerations
of weapons possessed by individuals are amus-
ingly characteristic. Edmund Staples, Esq., Dun-
more, Queen's county, boasts " three double-bar-
relled guns, six muskets and sword bayonets, six
carbines, seven bayonets, one duck gun, three blun-
derbusses, five double pistols, and eighteen single pis-
tols;" whi;st a neighbour of his, ll. Waller, Esq., of Castle
Durrow, rejoices in a still greater variety, namely,
" three 'double-barrelled guns, five single guns, three
muskets, two carbines, two carbines with spring
bayonets, one air-gun, two double-barrelled pistols,
one single-barrelled pistol, one six-barrelled pistol,
one four-barrelled pistol, four swords, four bayonets,
and one blunderbuss." The famous "Lord of the
brass-hilted sword" was nothing to Mr. Waller, of
Castle Durrow. The best armed man of the whole
lot, as far as numbers go, is James Pearson, of Ardara,
in Donegal, who has 81 guns. As there is nothing
in that country worth shooting except rabbits, Mr.
Pearson has, probably, an extensive interest in
the fur trade : and hence the sameness as well as the
multiplicity, of his argument. But eighty-one guns
in the Black North are nothing, by comparison, to the
forty stand of arms possessed by Benjamin Lefroy,
Esq., of Cardenton, in Kildare.—Abridged from the
Dublin Monitor.

"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 for
him again, and never reported such conduct. The con-
sequence was, the porter soon found an opportunity to
gratify a base desire to seduce the unfortunate females
in the workhouse (ono 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 of 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 listen.
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
home 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. None 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 ;lay previous to
Master Constable's arrival. Tho 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
linen 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. Ile 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 &othes
off during the last week of Garrod's life. My care was
divided between him and poor 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 ths bread on his bed, when she
said, There's your bread, Chilton: then said,
Nurse, he is dead and stiff.' SheAtxclaimedt r Oh.
God! what shall I do.' I was so unutlriaffectestras cq,
render me incapable of doing anythigg, further, fZIr„ a
time. Poor Chilton inquired if his St4o was come; I
told him no. This was about an hour and tebalf before
he died. He said, I am wholly starved! z 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.
In 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 corn-
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 or
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,

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, for having
neglected to watch William llaggar, 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 op with him during the
night on which he died, namely, the 14th of January,

child, then in the workhouse, by one of them: 3. A

THE INSPIRATION OF A PINCH.—On the produc-
tion of La Sonnambula, Malibran and Templeton were
the original Amino. and Elvino 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 Myer 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 sine o acted
upon.—Musical Review,

Chilton, who died, aged 42, on be
_ 1843.
"6. A charge against Mary Dunn, the nurse, fur
cruel conduct towards the sick children generally, and
more particularly for having beaten a boy, named Janes
Alderson, to death in 1840 ; and for having also beaten
another boy, named William Roe, so severely, in the
same year, as to ruin him totally, causing the loss of his
limbs, and his subsequent death.
"The Commissioners, on looking to the evidence, and
t the statement of circumstances submitted to them,
have arrived at the following conclusions :
" 1. That with regard to the first, fourth, and fifth
charges (irrespective of the fact that some of Garrod's
mosey was alleged to be missing, and of the circumstance
that agar died when the bed-clothes were faster :e I
over him by a cord), Mary Dunn, who then held the office
of nurse, has been proved to have very culpably neykted
Garrod, Haggar, and Chilton. Having reference to the
sixth charge, the Commissioners think it proved that
Mary Dunn struck with her hand a sick child, six years
old, a short time before its death. The Commissioner
therefore, entirely. concur in the course taken by the
guardians in dismissing Mary Dunn from the ottiee of
nurse.
" 2. Adverting to the fourth charge, the Commissioners
de,,ire to state that the allegations against the matron,
medical officer, and chaplain, have not been proved.
" 3. The second charge, that brought against the porter
~f having seduced women in the workhouse, was not
proved. The evidence of Mary Rattle is unsupported
and contradictory, and the tale derived from two name-
less prostitutes at Woodbridge, and told by Thomas
King, is wholly unworthy of credit.
"4. The Commissioners feel bound to express their
opinion that the third charge, that brought against the
master, was not proved.
" The Commissioners desire, however, to add that
they have not failed to notice that the master and matron
seem to have been ignorant of the gross neglect of the
nurse in the cases before alluded to.
" The Commissioners are assured that Mr. and Mrs.
Constable are generally efficient and trustworthy officers,
and that they have discharged their respective duties el
as to merit the confidence and approbation of the guar.
dians ; still, the Commissioners think that the facts dia.
closed by the recent inquiry show that the master and
matron have been, to some extent, wanting in vigilant* ;
and that blame must be imputed to them for not fully
satisfying themselves, by personal supervision and in-
spection, that the nurses duties were properly per.
formed, that the last moments of the sick were accom-
panied by that attention which ought to have been run-
dered, and that fires and lights were duly provided in the,

sick. The Commissioners, trust that the di
kindness and consideration which the int".;.ter and matron
have hitherto shown, will prompt them (now their defi-
ciency has been expressly pointed out) carefully to avoid!,
any just ground for future complaints, of which (if any
should hereafter arise) the Commissioners would feel.
bound to take much more serious notice."

We blush for the public officers who could, upon%
sucira case, subscribe such a document.

COLONEL STODDART
CAPTAIN CONOLL Y.
Captain Grover has received a letter :rom
Wolff, dated Meshed, March 24th, IVA, The Doctor
strangely enough fell in with aaleh Mahommed,
called khoondzadeh,
whose statement of what he
A
said people had told him of the execution of Colonel
Stoddart and Captain Conolly was published in all
the papers, and on the faith of which, her Majesty's
Government erased the name of Lieut.-Colonel
Stoddart from the list of the army, and the East
India Company that of Brevet Captain Conolly from
their list. The latter officer has, however, it appears
from the last accounts from India, been promoted to
a troop in the 6th Light Cavalry. The Doctor thus.
writes :
" Saleh Mahommed told me, that the two persons
who were put to death, and of whom he gave u
cir-
cumstantial account to Colonel Shiel, may have )-,een
two other persons, and the executioner who te,),d him
the story may have belied him. Besides t„)':',s, I must
confess that two things are suspicion,, to me in the
extreme : he, first of all, told me that the executioner
who told him the story had beep the executioner of
Stoddart; on another day, when I asked him again
which of the two executioners had put Stoddart to
death, he replied that he did not know. He, more •
over, makes a claim upon Colonel Shiel for 120 to-
mauns, which I have learnt from different quarter*
he has received from Major Todd."
Dr. Wolff takes presents to the King of Bokhara,
to the value of between 500 and 600 gold totntrons ;
and he appears to have acquired the good wishes and
assistance of all the people with whom he. has been
brought in contact. Ho thus relates remarkable
circumstance :
" I have written a most resPc_ctful letter to the
Ameer of Bokhara, which I e:dall deliver myself ; in
this letter I remind his I\l'.jesty of the hospitable re-
ception he granted to me, when at Bokhara twelve
years ago, and of my boldly having defended him in
England, and throughout Europe, when I heard him
accused of being the murderer of guests. I also pe-
tition his Majesty most humbly to allow me to take
back my friends to their native country ; or should
they have died on account of some fault committed,
to inform me of the nature of their crime, and to per-
mit me to carry their corpses to England, to he *buried
by their relations. I gave this letter into tY,e hands of
the Sheik at Islam of Meshed, who read it in the
mosque of Gowker-Shah, in the presence of 5,000
people there assembled."
1 he Doctor also says :
" A caravan arrived here some days ago from Bok-
hara, and ask whom you please, the invariable answer
is—they may be alive, for nobody has seen theta
executed; and the Goosh Bekee, or Prime Minister,
who for five years was supposed to have been put to
death, has suddenly come forth alive and well from
prison.
" The chief of the caravan of Bokhara, Mul)P.,ll
Kereen by name, who leaves that city every /two
month; and has a wife there, told me two dais ago,
that if any one asserts that he has seen the r,:xecution
of the two elchies (ambassadors), he is a 3:iar."

DUNCOMBE TESTIS ONIAL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stu—ln your paper of last night there appears a
paragraph respecting the " Duncombe Testimonial,"
in which you state that Messrs. Grote, and Co., the
bankers, have given 1001. to that object, and that it is
the Chartists who are about to raise the testimonial in.
gratitude to Mr. Duncombe for his valuable services*
in their cause both in and out of Parliament.
I beg most distinctly to deny that such is the etre.
The delegates from whom the Duncombe Testimsraial
Committee was elected, were appointed by the irreious
trades of London, to watch the progress of ',like in-
famous Masters and Servants Bill, and to r.dopt all
the legal means within their power to oppose and
destroy that measure. They represerAed no parti-
cular political opinions, but were ceitnposed of men
of all parties, who were unanimous In scarcely any
one thing except that the above-named Bill must be
opposed, and that Thomas Slingsby Duncombe was
deserving the thanks and gratitude of every working
man, and hence the proposition for a testimonial.
It is true that the Chartist body throughout the
United Kingdom are taking up the matter with grew,:
spirit, at which the Central Committee are wr,is
pleased—as they desire the co-operation of all me,,i of
all parties—and from this, perhaps, has arisen tb e re-
port that it is a Chartist Testimonial. It is true also
that there are several influential Chartists v.pon the
Committee, but they were elected at the gen'eral dele-
gate meeting of the Trades of Londrdn, an& attend not
as Chartists, but as working-tr.en. In?aeed, I think
the Chartist portion of the o:ommittee are more parti-
cularly anxious than the rest to avoid political disqv a.

City and Liberty of Westminster and part of the.
County of Middlevex, was held yesterday, at the offir:e,
of the Court, in Greek-street, Soho. The object of
the Court being made special was for the
purpose of considering the report and esti-
mates relative to the open part of the *King's
Scholars' Pond sewer, and the other matter', in con-
nexion with the petition of Mr. Thomas Cuiv At, of the

wick-street and White's-bridge, Mr. Cubitt payi'
half the expense, and that he be invited to send AA
tender to do the work.
" That the surveyors do make frequent obse-tvations,
and report to the Court, from time to time, upo
thiin the 7
effect produced in the rising of the veater in
sewer, in consequence of the construotica of the work,
proposed to be made."
