whether they were full or not; and he had expressed his

willingness to do the same in any other district wher
cholera may hereafter appear. The Chairman said Mr

the workhouse had not been treated on Dr. Hawthorn
plan. Mr. Hodson said the cases in the workhouse had

Venerable Archdeacon Brooks in the chair.—Mr. Callis,

man, and he would certainly bring an action against Mr.
R. for making such an assertion (renewed laughter). As
far as the broken hammers were concerned Mr. Riding

ask the meeting, was the chairman of the 'Workhouse
committee to come forward on a public occasion like that,
and brand him (Mr. C. with having sold bad hammers ?
(Great laughter.)—Mr. Riding : Soft, soft hammers, sir
