vagrant sheds. Fronuthear.inutes of the industrial. Schools;
Committee, several of therboys, it appeared, had been ap-!
prenticed since the last aneeting of the board, and two or;
three of the girls sent out as domestic servants. Mr.
'Hughes urged the desiralsility
of making as frequent
•draughts as possible of ,children from the workhouse to •
the Industrial Schools, both for their own sakes, and for the !
'greater facilities afforded there of getting them off their
.hands.—A communication from the Poor-law Board was
'read, stating that they did not -think the act would sup-
port the appointment recently made of Mr. Wylie, as per-
maneskt surveyor, but that they did not feel it incumbent
upon them to act further in the mottec.—A letter was read
from Mr. Eddowes, the resident assistant medical-officer, i
resigning his situation. He complained that, in addition
to the onerous duties which he discharged before, he and
the new ,assistant were required in future to prepare all
medicines for the patients. Nor was •these a single provi-
sion made ;to protect the assistant from Swing made the
slave of the nut-door surgeon. All that the out-door
medical officer had to do was merely to show himself in the
war& ,daily, ask his assistant if the patients were doing well,
and thus go through the wards, always taking care not to
pass out of the workhouse through the porter's gate till
he had remained a reasonable time in the building, which
time would be recorded in the porter's book, to be laid be-
fore the workhouse committee. Mr. Eddowes then nom-
complained of the room assigned for the residence of the
surgeon in the workhouse. They were in the very
centre of the fever hospital ; and the consequence was,
that during two years he had had the fever not less than
three times. " After attending," continued Mr. Eddowes,
" to the multitude of patients which fall to his share,
prescribing, dressing, and dispensing,—the mind har-
rassed and the body fatigued,--the surgeon must feel
pleased that a thoughtful Vestry has so far attended

said he thought it would have been far more be-
coining in Mr. Eddowes if he had quietly sent in
his resignation, than to have endeavoured to casti
re-
flections upon the committee or upon the board. S
uee
he was assistant medical officer in the house, the cost of
the medicines administered in the Workhouse amounted
to the enormous sum of £lOOO a year. The rooms corn.
plained of had been occupied by various surgeons of the
house for the last ten years. Only one of their medical
officers was affected with fever, with the exception of Mr.
EsitiQwm After same miuor business the board a4journed.
