UP THE WARDENSHIP

The Trustees of tie New Castle

for the first time the reasons given
BY A. S. Meserve for resigning his po-
sition as Chief Warden OF the insti-

done me. II Is the result OF no sudden
impulse with which / have been pos

ering the matter for more than a year
but have refrained from taking the ac-
tion till l could get things into such
