TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
11,1 I R,—The Correspondence appearing in Friday's
.3 STANDARD calls for an Explanation on our part, which,

ith further information, we now beg to afford.
First, as regards the Ziverpool Times: in that paper of the
23d instant, equally with the Mail and STANDARD of the
te, and the Courier of the 24th, we authorised the
a of our Pamphlet published last year, and to which
and for the occasion, we prefixed a few Re-
ree latter papers published all we directed
.ith accuracy ; but we were surprised and hurt to discover
that the Times had not done so, but, omitting the Preface
to our Pamphlet, to which Mr. Batty's and our own Names
stood attached, entirely of its own accord, 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 inser-
mrier of next day, in which paper it was unfor-
-,-nedly 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

sphere of usefulness.

JAMES COCKSIIOTT, President

The parties present at this meeting were eight ladies and
four gentlemen, 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

report, is for the present postponed. Should the plan for

Id 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 bad been previously de-
clared reqnisite, and resolved, by a much larger Committee,
that a General Meeting of the Trustees and Subscribersshould
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
