THE MARYLEBONE VESTRY.

THE CASE OF THE REV. DR. PENFOLD.
On Saturday there was again a very full attend-ince
of the Marylebone Vestry, at the Court-house, Mary-
lebone, created by the anxiety to hear the debate ad-
journed from Saturday last, relative to the charges
recently made against the Rev. Rector of Trinity
Church, Dr. Penfold.
The Rev. Dr. SPRY, the Rector of Marylebone,
again presided, and all the local clergy were present
on the occasion. The Rev. Dr. Penfold also occupied
his place in the vestry. The minutes of the last meet-
ing having been read and confirmed, and other routine
business disposed of, the Rev. Chairman called on Sir
Peter Laurie, as the mover of the adjournment on the
previous Saturday, to resume the debate on the reso-
lution to appeal to the Bishop of London concerning
the 251. which the Rev. Dr. Penfold is alleged to
have improperly detained.
Sir P. LAURIE said, this important matter, which
had been so fully discussed in the vestry last
Saturday, would, he believed, be closed that day in
a most satisfactory manner.—(Hear, hear.) He was
glad to have it in his power to state that it would be
wholly unnecessary for the vestry to carry the reso-
lution which had been adopted on the first occasion,
inasmuch as the 251. had been paid into the hands of
the trustees of the Girls' Charity School.—(Loud
cries of " Hear, hear.") Under such circumstances
he hoped that the non• confirmation of the minute for
going to the Bishop of London concerning the subject,
would be at once and unanimously carried.—(Hear.)
Mr. IVALroLE EYRE had nothing further to say
than that he entirely agreed in the hope expressed by
Sir Peter Laurie, that henceforth a good feeling would
exist between the clergy and laity of the parish.
The Rev. CHAIRMAN now put the question to a
show of hands, and said he felt great pleasure in stating
that the non-confirmation of the minute was carried
unanimously. •
The Rev. Dr. Penfold instantly rose, and having
made his obeisance to the chairman,_left the vestry.

•REPEAL OF THE WINDOW DUTIES.
A numerous deputation from the Parochial Corn,
mittee waited upon the vestry to present a memorial,
signed in two hours by 638 rate-payers, praying
them, as the representatives of the parish, to take im-
mediate steps for aiding in the present movement to
secure from Government, now there was a surplus
revenue, a total repeal of the window duties.
Upon the motion of Mr. MICHIE, seconded by Mr.
H. C. Wm," it was resolved to call a special vestry
to consider the subject, and also to call upon the
Members for the borough, and all resident Member,
of Parliament, to attend on the occasion.
The vestry then broke up.

His Imperial Highness the Duke of Leuchtenberg,
his august consort, Archduchess Maria, daughter of the
Emperor and Empress of Russia, intend to pass the en-
suing spring in the southern part of Italy or Germany,
for the benefit of the illustrious Archduchess's health.

CHILD MURDEL—Wednesday forenoon Mr. W.
Carter held an inquest at the Cottage of Content, Locks-
fields, Walworth, on the body of a newly-born female
child, which was found dead in Penton-place, Walworth.
Frederick Gibbs, of 14, Regent-street, Brixton, stated
that on Sunday morning last whilst proceeding across
the fields in Penton-place, he saw a parcel lying in the
area of an unfinished house. Witness with considerable
difficulty got it up, and on opening it he discovered the
dead body of a female child. Police-constable 208 P
came to the spot, and subsequently conveyed the body
to the station-house. There were several marks of vio-
lence about the head. Mr. W. H. Dry, surgeon, said
that he saw the child soon after it was found. It ap-
peared of recent birth. There were several contusions
of the scalp and left forehead, and another bruise on the
back, which injuries, he had no doubt, were the result of
violent blows inflicted by some blunt instrument, which
had caused the deceased's death soop after birth. Other
corroborative evidence having been adduced, the jury
returned the following verdict :—" That the deceased
was born alive, and that she was wilfully murdered by
some person or persons unknown."
Slurs' STORES.—It was a short time since ordered
by the Customs' authorities that surplus ships' stores,
allowed to remain in the warehouse for one year for the
future use of the ship, must be cleared for the same vessel
or for the use of the same master in another vessel, or
for the use of another vessel belonging to the same
owner, and that the delivery could take place only on
these conditions being complied with—the law not con-
templating the removal of stores from port to port, for
general purposes, in the same manner as merchandise.
It has recently been decided, application having been
made to that effect, that surplus ship's stores may be
bonded under the warehousing regulations , there exist-
ing no legal objection to that being done, when samples
of the goods will be allowed in the same manner as in
the case of merchandise bonded in the usual way. This
is of considerable importance to the shipping interest,
and will go far to counteract the apparent strictness and
impracticability of a compliance with the regulation re-
ferred to.
