The following Report having been read.:—
REPORT of the SELECT VESTRY of the PARISH
Qf LIVERPOOL, upon the Charges brought against the
Management of the Workhouse, by Edward
Esquire, the Stipendiary Magistrate.
THE SELECT VESTRY convened a Meeting at the Work-
house, and proceeded to examine the Governor and Chap-
lain, the Sub-Governor, the Inspector of the Probationary
Ward, and others, and, in the result, they are satisfied that
the number of Persons admitted, to the Workhouse, and
which exceeds 1800, is much greater than is desirable with
the present amount of accommodation ; and they regret to
find that, from the crowded state of the House, and from
the consequent want of means of sufficient separation and
classification of the inmates, occasional acts of immorality
have (unknown to the Chaplain) occurred there,• nor can it,
perhaps, be wondered at, when it is considered that not only
the wandering outcasts of both sexes who are found by the
Police in the streets of Liverpool, and in want, are sent by
the Magistrates to the Select Vestry, and they have no alter-
native but to admit these individuals to the Workhouse, but
even the most incorrigible offenders against the law, of both
sexes, after the time of their imprisonment is expired, seek
an asylum in the 'Workhouse, and, in many instances, it
cannot be denied them.

From these circumstances, it is indisputab ,

persons, who will at times elude the care and vigilance which

maintain order there.

The Select Vestry are well aware that, by a con
outlay of money, such alterations may be made in ti

been so long languishing, and partly owing to
state of Parochial Management during the last three years.
In justice, however, to the late Guardians, it should bd
stated, that at the end of last June, their attention having
been called to the insufficient nature of the accommodation
in the Workhouse, they instructed two Architects to prepare
Plans for additional Buildings, in order to the due classifica-
tion of the Pauper inmates: and one of the Plans was in
readiness during the autumn, but in consequence of a mis-
understanding on the part of the other Architect his Plans
were not delivered in until last month.

It is the intention of the Select Vestry forthwith to lay
these Plans before the Poor-law Commissioners, for the pur-
pose of obtaining their sanction to the adoption of one of

The Select Vestry also look forward with satisfaction to
the prospect of the removal, at no distant day, of all the
Children in the Workhouse to the intended Schools at Kirk-
dale—the plans of that building being now completely set-
tled, and its erection being about to be commenced.
These undertakings, which the Select Vestry are deter-
mined to execute with all despatch, will, it is estimated,
occasion an expenditure, conjointly, to the amount of
£50,000. Still it will be obvious, from their magnitude,
that they cannot be accomplished without some lapse of time.
In the meantime, therefore, the Select Vestry have deemed
it their duty to increase the number of Stipendiary Officers
at the Workhouse, and to attach several paid Females to
superintend the Female Wards, in order to insure as vigilant
a system of superintendence over all the inmates as the pre-
sent Workhouse will admit of. _

The Select Vestry have used their best endeavours to get
at the truth respecting the alleged with-holding of a Bible
from one of the pauper inmates ; and they are assured by
the Chaplain and Governor, and other Officers of the Est-
blishment, that such gas never the fact. That, on the
trary, a Bible is attached to every Ward in the Hour

" We have had an arrival of 219 very well selected emi-

£3 per month, with diet, &c. Sales o and e stock have been

is still scarce, an improvement is evident in the general aspect

" The cultivation of the vine, with a view to the produc-
tion of wine of the first quality, has attracted much public
attention, as well as that of raisins and Zante currants. A
society has been formed for promoting the establishment of
vineyards on an extensive scale, which has been well sup-
ported, and is extremely popular. I have visited a great

many advantages for that species of culture as Western

the vintage, which is the terror of the European vine-
