LADIES' CHARITY AND PROPOSED NEW
INSTITUTION.

TO TAIE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
SIR,—The Correspondence appearing in Friday's
STANDARD calls for an Explanation on our part, which,
with further information, we now beg to afford.
First, as regards the Liverpool Times: in that paper of the
23d instant, equally with the Mail and STANDARD of the
same date, and the Courier of the 24th, we uthorised the
insertion of our Pamphlet published last ye , and to which
at the moment, and for the occasion, we efixed a few Re-
marks. The three latter papers publish all we directed
with accuracy ; but we were surprised a hurt to discover
that the Times had not done so, but, itting the Preface
to our Pamphlet, to which Mr. Batty's nd our own Names
stood attached, entirely of its own acc d, and without the
least instruction or intention on our part, transferred those
names to the foot of the Introductory Remarks drawn up
only by ourselves, and of course without any knowledge on
Mr. Batty's part. Of this, therefore, it is evident that we,
as well as Mr. Batty, are entitled to complain; and we did
complain, and expect that the Times:of next Tuesday will
itself acknowledge the mistake. And to show our desire for
the correction of this error, we may mention that on Tuesday
last we drew up a brief Statement for the purpose of inter-
'ion in the Courier of next day, in which paper it was unfor-
.7 and undesignedly omitted.
Next comes the question respecting the relinquishment of
Wards by the Ladies' Charity. We have asserted that the
Charity has not formally or finally abandoned such a pro-
ject ; Mr. Batty, as Mr. John Cropper states, has asserted
the contrary, and the former Gentleman has likewise quoted
from Resolutions of the Combined Committee of the Charity
in confirmation of the statement which he made. Now, we
beg your earnest attention, and that of your readers, to a
Complete Statement on this subject. At a meeting of the
Joint Committee of the Ladies' Charity, on December 18,
1833, the following Resolution was come to:—

tunate

" The necessity for a Lying-in Hospital in this populous
town having been strongly brought under the notice of the
Committee of the Ladies' Charity by its medical officers—
"' Resolved,—That a general meeting of the subscribers
be called in the course of the ensuing month, of which due
notice will be given, to take into consideration the expedi-
ency of establishing lying-in wards in connexion with the
Ladies' Charity, provided sufficient funds can be raised to
carry the plan into execution without curtailing its present
sphere of usefulness.

" ' JAMES COCKSHOTT, President.'

Dec. 18, 1838."

ties present at this meeting were eight ladies and
entlemen, including the official authorities of the
charity, besides the medical men. Owing to circumstances
which need not be here detailed, the General Meeting here
resolved upon was postponed, an allusion to which postpone-
ment appeared in the next Annual Report in the following
terms :
" The general meeting of the trustees and subscribers, in-
tended to be summoned last month, for the purpose of con-
sidering the question of hospital wards, is deferred till the
medical officers have prepared their promised statement, ex-
plaining the advantages of the contemplated addition to the
charity. The proposed extension of the institution, is not
designed, in any degree, to restrict or interfere with the
existing plan of affording relief."
The same delay unhappily occurred during the whole of
1839, but still the contemplated project of adding Hospital
Wards was never abandoned, but remained merely in abey-
ance. In proof of this, we quote the subjoined remarks
in the Annual Report of 1840, which was for the preceding
year:—
" The question of the hospital wards, alluded to in the
last report, is for the present postponed. Should the plan for
extending the sphere of the charity be deemed at any future
period desirable, the committee fully rely on the increased
support of the subscribers."
In the autumn of 1840 we were enabled to publish our
statement, entitled " Remarks on the Necessity and Advan-
tages of establishing Lying-in Wards in connection with the
Ladies' Charity of Liverpool," to which Mr. Batty's name,
with our own, was appended, and we now trusted that a
General Meeting of the Trustees and Subscribers would be
called, to take its contents into consideration, and to decide,
affirmatively or otherwise, with regard to what it proposed.
Such General Meeting was not, however, called, but a Meet-
ing of the Committees of the Charity took place on Febru-
ary 9th last, at which six members only—three Ladies and
three Gentlemen—were present. This was the Meeting
which came to the Resolutions quoted by Mr. Batty, viz.:—
" Resolved,—That the cordial thanks of the committees be
returned to the medical officers for the able and interesting
pamphlet recently published by them, advocating the addi-
tion of an hospital, or of wards to the present limited system
of relief administered by the charity.
" Secondly,—That powerfully as the change is advocated,
yet the committees are confimed, in their own opinions of its
ineligibility, by the decided concurrence of a large majority of
such friends of the charity as they have consulted, and they
cannot recommend its adoption to the subscribers at large. '
A slight remark simply was made on the subject of hospi-
tal wards in the next annual report, which was the last. It
thanks the professional gentleman for " their most interest-
ing communications on the subject of hospital wards ", but
it says nothing concerning their repudiation.
The point in controversy is, whether these resolutions of
the Committee were or could be, a final determination or de-
cision upon a subject, on which it had been previously de-
clared requisite, and resolved, by a much larger Committee,
that a General Meelingof the Trustees and Subscribers should
be held. We cannot profess to be critically acquainted with
the relative powers and privileges of Committees, as com-
pared with General Meetings ; but, considering that' a Gene-
ral Meeting had been declared necessary, and that in the Re-
ports resulting from the Annual General Meetings, allusions
to such General Meeting (as above cited) have been repeat-
edly made, we presume the conclusion on our parts will not
appear unreasonable, that the question was still undecided
by the only power competent to decide it—the Subscribers at
large.

We are strengthened in pinion by the circumstance
of a General Meeting of thethis Troustees and Subscribers to the
Ladies' Charity being now called. If the Committee pos-
sessed plenary power to decide the question, such General
Meeting, now about to take place, would scarcely have been
considered necessary ; but as we perceive, it is considered
necessary, and the inference thence is unavoidable, viz.—that
our conclusion is correct.
It was under this impression that we addressed the circular
—a copy of which follows—to each of the gentlemen whose
names were connected with the proposed Institution, imme-
diately on our perceiving its existence to be advertised in the
Standard of the 12th instant which conveyed to us the very
first intimation on the subject we had :
"St 11,—We beg to offer you the accompanying pamphlet,
and to call your attention to its contents ; desiring to add
that the subject to which it refers, and which we were at much
pains to investigate, cannot be considered to have been yet
formally disposed of by the charity to which we belong.
" We have thought it not unsuitable to take this step, from
having most unexpectedly observed in the Standard news •
paper of the 12th instant, an account of a similar project with
which your name is connected.—We have the honour to be,
sir, your obedient servants,
JONG ELLISON,

K 1 are naturally interested in the honour and welfare of
the Charity to which we belong, especially in reference to an
extension of its benevolent agencies amongst the poor; and
as soon, therefore, as we perceived that a new Institution,
towards which we can entertain no hostile feeling, was pro-
jected to accomplish an object already under the notice of
our own Charity, we thought it our duty, by every legitimate
means, to draw the serious attention of its authorities, and
the favourable notice of the public generally, to the question,
with a view to procure its final adjustment on satisfactory
grounds.—Ws remain, sir, your obedient servants,
KING ELLISON.
