SOUTHERN AND TOXTETH HOSPITAL.—On Sunday
last after a very appropriate appeal from the Rev. Thos.
Nolan, the sum of thirty seven pounds was collected in
Aigburth Chuch, on behalf of this excellent institution.
THE CHARGE AGAINST DR. PENFOLD.—An adjourned
meeting of the Marylebone vestry was held on Saturday
to consiper the charge brought against Dr. Penfold, the
rector of Trinity Church, in that parish, of having appro-
priated to himself a sum of £25 placed in one of the plates
at a collection for the schools, and marked "tithes."
The first meeting was mentioned in our last. At the
meeting on Saturday a letter was read from the donor
who had previously remained incoy, in which he stated
that he had preciously sent quarterly, by post, to Dr.
Penfold, the same amount of money, and that being in
town and able to attend church, he had given the money
at the offertory, not knowing when he entered the church
that there was to be a collection for the schools. lie
stated also that he marked in the inside of the paper in
which the money was inclosed the words, " For general
purposes," and that he had no intention of giving the
money to the schools. In compliance with the suggestion
of Sir P. Laurie, Dr. Penfold at once consented to hand
over the money to the schools if he could procure the
consent of the donor, and left the meeting to obtain it.
The Riveting was then adjourned. Great satisfaction was
manifested at Dr. Penford's decision, but a strong opi-
nion was read from Dr. Phillimore, clearing Dr. Penfold
from all liability to the vestry.
We recommend those who want to purchase or rent
country re!iiilences to read Mr, Willinlee !_ultryt4ernent.
