The fact of them having to relieve 1,390 outdoor paupers, at a cos' of £ 5,889 for the year was quite enough to justify him in asking them to see that no stone was left unturned to properly revise and inquire into their list of permanent paupers from time to time. The Chairman said they were greatly obliged to Mr Birobam for his advioe in the different stages of their duty. They were all very pleased to see him there, and they would be very pleased to take into consideration the Pugges1 ions he had given them. Mr J Lloyd said that during the last ten years thty had cut down their outdoor relief at tbe rate of £1,000 a year. He said that he thought I they did very well, and the relieving officers did th..ir duty very well. He brought before them the persons who apply for out-docr relief, and the guardians then give their decision, acd he thought that was very fair. He (the inspector) visitf-d 'he places very often, and the result waB that those unions were prospering in their work, an 1 he would be glad if the inspector would he more regular in kis attendance at that TTnion (laughter). Mr Bircham said there was still more room for improvements, and he thought it was a good sig" that he did (hear, hear). Mr John Williams (vice-chairman) gave notice that he would propose at the next meeting the appointment of a special day or days every six months for revising the relief lists.

SUDDEN MA™^tAN ASYLUM INGUEST ON THE BODY. On Monday last at 11 o'elock, Dr J R Hughes, coroner for West Deiibiabshire, held an inquest at the AH) lurn on the body of William Williams, labourer, LiysUen, Abergele, an epileptic patient at this in- stitution. The following were the jury Messrs Boaz Jones (foreman) AlfiedLloyJ Jones, Gwil/m Parry. Waham Dalies, John Roberts, Thomas Ashford, b T Miller, W J Nott, It W ^lov^ Green, John Williams (Love-lane), Charles Hines and John Edgar. The Coroner thanked the jurymen for having attended so punctuullyto the service of their Queen. p „ .j Owen Thomas Owen?, a night attendant, said he was on duty on the night of the 4th and the morning of the 5th inst., in the special dormitory. He identified the body now lying dead as that of Wliliam Williai-ns, Llysfaen, Abergele. He (witness) attended to his duties of looking after the patients all that night. They went around the special dormitory to see the patients every half hour. There was another attendant with him as an assistant. This case was under his special charge, but witness and his assistant visiced the patient together. This patient was put into this single room about a quarter-past nine on the night of the 4th before this he was in the padded room. They timed their duties by a "tell- tale clock," which is marked every half hour. This patient was very restless all night, but he had no fits. By being rest- less. witness meant that he would not lie in bed, aud was crawling about the room and on the floor all the time. Owing to him being so restless, they altered their ti-, and visited the patient every quarter- of-an-hour. He last saw deceased alive at twenty-minutes to five on the morning of the 6th inst. he was out of bed, lying on his back behind the door. They put him into bed again, and wrapped him in the clothes. They had done this several times during the night, and they did so then. They did not notice anything pecu- lia- with him then more than any other part of the night. He had ?coup.ed that single room several nights before that. He was only occasionally put into that room. They took him out of the padded room and put him into the single room, when they wanted to put somebody else into the padded room. The night in question was very old, but they had a fire in the dor- mitory, but no ire in the small room. They visited him at 4.40, and again at five minutes past five. He was out of bed at 4.40 and they put liim in and wrapped him up, and at 5.5 he was in bed, but lying on his side, with his mouth .ujte clear of the clothes. They thought, at first that he was asleep, but when they were going to wrap him up the same as on previous oc- casions, they found he was dead. He was quite pale and cold, but he was cold during the previous part of the night. This was usual with him. X>r Cox explained that tms single room was adjoining the dormitory. The patient bad been under this attendant's care while in the padded room and under his care in the other wards. j\lr Miller said he saw the padded room which adjoined the siri,Le room. The Coroner thanked these gentlemen for this information. Witness, continuing, said when they found the patient was dead they sent for the docter. The patient was under witness's care in the padded room the previous night. On this occasion he did not fear anytking was wrong, as he thought the man was the same as on previous nights. The Foreman Had he any clothes on. What clothes had he on :cds body ? Witness Only a shirt. The Foreman Don't you think some- tliing ought to be put on him ? Witness They put what they had on him. He had one quilt under him, and blankets and quilts on him, making five eorvers. The Foreman You foend him lying on j the floor, and that means to me that ■ he was out of bed almost all night. Witness: There was no, warmer place there for him. The Foreman You took all the responsibility upon yourself, and moved him from this padded room to this other room. Witness Yes. Mr Gwilym Parry I -believe you said the temperature of the room was cold ? Witness Yee. Mr Miller: There are fires in the dormitory are there not ? Witness Yes, at the other end of the -dormitory. Mr Miller W'Jiof "p thcr>* W•He:? Forrv.vsix «••?i ii down on the board every night m the dormitory. Mr Nott: If he had had his own clothes put on him, do you think he would kwjp them or« ? Witness No, ho was in a very restless straggling state. Mr B W Lloyd Would that mark on his nose mean the result of straggling abowt :f tb»7ltne™? have nothing to do with T^hat has to do with the day attenant, who had reported that case before this.

They m.rkcd ij n0 on the floor. They put him in bed again, and put the clothes on him. There was one quilt under him, two flannel blankets and three quilts on him. He was in the same condition all night, and was very cold. He was the same every night, and they did not notice anything different, and did not think they need to stop there with him. He saw him again at 5.5 he was half out of bed and had a few clothes on him. When they first saw him they thought he was sleeping. He was j lying on his side. They wrapped him up in the clothes and found he was I dead. He then went for Dr Herbert, who j came in about ten minutes after they 1 found deceased. The Foreman to Witness What are your instructions in a case like this ? j Dr Herbert did not think it was fair to pa! that qutftion to this attendant. He was a temporary niht attendant, and Owen Thomas Owens was in eba-.gp. This attendant is a day attendant, and he would not know the instructions of th., night attendant. The present senior night attendant it ill. In answer to the Coroner, witness said be had been attendant at that institution for tevru months. The Foremen From nine o'clock on the 4th to fivi o'clock in the morning of the 5th, had he any refreshments ? Witness: No, sir. Mr Miller: Could the patient speak or make any complaints f Witness: N'\ si* he had lost his speech, The Coroner: He spoke during the day previoup, didn't he ? Witness: He had not baen spealiitg for about a wet-k, and he mads no complaints. Mr Gwilym Parry How often did you vifit this man ? Witness: Every half bonr. Mr Gwilym Parry Why did you visit this man oftentir on thia occasion ? Witness: Because we heard him out of bed and by the door. The door was shaking when the patient was by it. The Foreman: Is there a tell -tale clock in every room ? Witness No, sir only m the dormitory. Dr Herbert It's all one room. I Mr Nott: I sappose this clock is to test I that the attendants are awake all night ? Dr Herbert: Yes. Mr R W Lloyd I suppose if you had four more sheets or coverings on him it would make no difference as to his being warm Witness: No, sir.. Dr Herbert said he was assistant medical offioer of that institution. He saw the de- ceased laFt alive on the day previous to his .J__LL 1^4.1. <*r*A flffarnnon UBIIU, U81.,U IU ULItl WUtUllJ AU\L "V' | He was then in bed in No 2 ward. He bad been in bed sinoe the 26th of February. The reason for sending him to bed on the 26th February was Dot because he was suffering from auy bodily ailment, but because he was extremely restless, unable to stand upon his legs from epileptic giddiness. The mark on his nose was the result of having fallen while in an epileptic fit, and he was sent to b d for safety, and to keep him out of the way of other parents, thus being kept in bed in No 2 ward during tb., day. The scab on the bridge of the nose had not healed owing to the decease! continally picking it off His condition varied for two or three weeks he would get better, and they would get him up, j for ha wes sometimes better and sometimes worse. When he saw him last alive his con- dition was something similar to what it had j been during the previous week when sent to j bed. It was by his orders that the patient i had been tken from No 2 ward to where he was. It was the oRstom to take him to this I special dormitory, where he could be watched at nights. All epileptics were taken to this special dormitory. As to the single room, the patient is removed there if he is noisy. This removal of patients is carried out by the night attendant if necessary, and the night attendant would come down and report the fact. The ward and small room are under the stme supervison. In answer to the Coroner, witness said the old padded room was used. Mr Barker, Clerk to the Visitors, said it had been suggested that the whole of these apart- I memts shall be heated by fire instead of by I steam. Dr Herbert, continuing, said he thought 1 these attendants did their duty on this oosasion, but he was inolinsd to think that they should have taken Rome farther steps to have kept him warm. In his opinion these attendants oarried out the general instructions fairly well, as he believed they always did do. There were no special instructions given in regard to this matter. The genera! instructions are given to clothe Jibe patient in I innel ticks, and to put a flannel suit on him, which he could not tear off him, but no particular instructions were given in regard to I thiu case. The common sense of the attendants ought to be used with sach a case. There WAS no necessity to have reported this case on this particular night, unless the patient was ill. I' There were a considerable number of people like this one in tke institution, who were restless fovary might. He thought the common .sense,of¡tbe men without instructions would I tell them that they should keep the patient warm by putting on him seme clothing which he could not remove The elothes were at hand and able to be got at easily. They might have put on him flannel drawers, a woollen pair of stockings, I and a tick suit. He would not like to say that .this condition of the patient during the night contributed to his death. The tem- that .this condition of the patient during the night contributed to his death. The tem- perature of the room was 44 degrees. He made a jtost- ?nortetn examination of tbe deoeased, in the presence of the medical ■superintendent, Dr Llewelyn C-i, on Saturday afternoon iast, March Gth. He was of the opinion that the oause of death was owing to a andden failure of the heart's action. Independent of his evidence Dr Herbert said the men was in a very bad oonditioa when he came into that institution. When he was called to the room whiah the patent occupied he found-the patient lying on bis back in bed. He examined the bedding, but no evidence of an p11,, fit wa« Kh&wn.

Liverpool is noted among the cities, of the countrv for the extent and elegance "f iU shops, which are devoted to every- thing that is in demand in a great community and when the additions to the premises of the Globe Furnishiug Company, whi h are now in progress are compie ed, the building will take rank with any in the U-n Ile(i Kinedom connected with their rarl iCI]lar trade The plans of the ex en- Sion have been drawn out by Mr J Yrancis Doyle, archi-ecr, and the coutract >rs for the execution of the work are Messrx, William Tomkinson and Sons, of Danfue- street Ar one time only a single shop was used by the company. and now there are four shops, but the exjwmsnou of their trade has rendered the present fnrther ext nsiotis absol,eiy imperative A large building -i Gill-stree:—a thoroughfare which runs a d. right angle from Pembroke- place. in which 'lie principal frontage of the Giobe premises is situa'ed—has been acquired by the company, and it is under- going an mtire ahratlou. It may be of interest to mention that in former days it was used as a chapel and afterwards as a museum in its new guise it will be atlached to the exis'ing spacious struc are, and, a considerable piece of land having been acquired in addition, the company's premises will soon be unsurpassed by any establishment of its nature b-vond the metropolis. By these additions tha grounil-floor space will be much enlarged, and thus a. vast stock will be always in full view of the public, without the latter being subject to the discomfort anl incon- venieuce of mounting stairs. The Globe Furnishing Company apply themselves to H manufacture of a particuiar class of goods, and for this purpose che spacious basements of the building are being especially prepared.

VALE OF OLWYD TRACRF.RSi' w ASSOCIATION. A meeting of the above was held at the National School, Suthin, on Saturday, February 20th. The chief business ot the meeting wai the consideration of the following resolutions, adopted by the "Executive of the NLtio-jal Union of Tea-chers" on the Education BUI 1837: -1 Thtt the executive regrets that the sum provided for the relief of voluntary schools is altogetner inadequate to meet the needs of the schools" This was passed unanimously. 2, That the executive regrets that provision is not made for aid to all public elementary schools at the same rate (i.e., not lees than 5s per unit of average at, a adanoo), and calls on the government to introduoe, dnring the present session, a Bill providing rauob aid for Board Schools also." This was pass-d after inserting the words" rural" and necessitous before Board Schools." 3.—" That the executive hereby pledges i-, self to use every effort to secure (1) that the in- creased aid shall be specifically earmarked for the purpose of improving the number, quality, and remuneration of the teaching staff, and generally, for increasing the efficiency of the schools also (2) some amount of public repre- sentation on the manaitement; and (3) the pullic audit of all school accounts by the district auditar." Instead of public representa- tion in this clause, the meeting suggested parental representation. 4.—"That the executive deplores the intro- duction into the bill of compulsory federation of schools, believing it to be unnecessary, ca.,oulated to diminial local effort on behalf of individual schools, and likely to create a class of c £ iciall inimical to tone educational elasticity." 5.—" That this executive views with anxiety the proposal t) repeal he 178 6d limit, believing that in effect the repeal will tend to reduoe the icoil income cf schools from subscriptions and rates, also to induce managers to add to the already over-burdeaed curriculum of schools." This was left open. fi.—"That it is essential that voluntary con. trib-itious should be m&intained at current amount, or at the average amout for the last seven years, or, in the case where no sub. scription* have hitherto been raised at a fixed sum per unit of average attendance." Passed with the provision that where subscription* from societies (for whioh managers are not re- sponsible) fail off, these be not included in the current amount." 7.—" That the aid grant should be paid quarterly as in the case of the fee grant."

Dr Herbert: Twenty-six years. I Mr G«ilyni Parry How long had he been aa inma'e ? Dr Herbert: One-and-a-half years but he had been suffering from epileptic fits for about 14 or 15 years. I The Foreman: We understand now. Doctor, that the cause of death was from failure of the ¡ heart, but you are not certain whether the cold room would hasten death or not. Dr Herbert was understood to say that it might do so. The Coroner: It is, of course, a matter of opinion, and the oriaioa might be right or it might be wrong. The Foreman: By whose order do the Asylum Authorities report these cases f The Coroner By my order, The Father of the deceased was present, and he complained of the coldness of the room. He thought something ought to have been I done to make the patient warm. Mr Nott: The man was looked after almost all nigot; practically every quarter-of-an- hour. Toe idea of the attendants evidently was to go there and to put him in bed and wrap him up; but, of course, they had to go about to the other patieats. Dr Cox said he had heard the evidence given by Dr Herbert, with which he quite agreed. fle had nothing farther to add. The Foreman Don't you think that these attendants ought to have proper instructionf in a case like this, and don't you think a proper rule ought to be fixed for them to carry out. The Coroner: There was a good reason in this instance for the patient to be put in the special dormitory, a he was keeping the other patients from gleeping. Dr Cox Tnat is he usual custom, In fact there was no alteration in such a custom as to epileptics. Because the deceased was an epileptic he was taken to that ward so that be could be looked atter during the night. It did not require any special or separate rule cr order, because it was a general rule for all epileptics to go to the epileptic dormitory. Mr Miller: Do I understand that if a patient interferes with the Bleep of the other patients in the ward, he is removed to these rooms ? Dr Cox: The attendants are to use their own discretion, and are to move the patients aosording to their discretion, and afterwards report to the medical officers. The Foreman to Dr Herbert: Did you not gay that the deceased was subject to heart disease ? Dr Herbert: No, sir; I said failure of the heart was the cause of death. Mr Gwilym Parry: What time do the night attendants go on duty ? Dr Herbert: 8 o'clock at night until 6 o'clock in the morning. The Coroner in summing up thanked the jury for having paid so much attention to the evidence brought before them, and for the help thay had afforded him in fully investi- gating and clearing up ttial ,:1'1.88. He was sure they would all agree with him in holding the inquiry for several reasons, and he was sure that if he had not held it, the Luaaoy Commissioners would have blamed him for cot having done so. They bad to consider wkat was the cau,;¡e of the death, and the eiream- stanceJ prior to tha death. The evidence as to what took plaoe previous io death was given b<- the attendants, and lie thought they would agree with him, that if they had com- mitted an error of judgement, they gave their f ev-d-noe is a very str'\ J ¡) "f ^rii-'btior^rd 8.11 they p..?«bly rTé oouh.-ui^ ilÙ id u, tae i ':J. .1 "# I't" rho. lOn.I£. fi-st and proved iw «»«««- j } ♦hi-u,»o vw' *P'Jeptir. and an mcku -Q t|ie dormitory f>rsuper- JS as it provided with special night lISendMts, «d these night attenaants were nonstmtly oa the watch, going around eare- faliv watching every oa*e, and this tbey had to do for tfcn tears, and he believed they did thei* duty that night faithfully aad truly, ^hey had a check npan them by a till-tale dock, and this showed that they went round o?ateuiatically and properly during that night The evidence had shown that this maa wal put into this room for the sake of the other put into this room for the sake of the other patients, because he was noisy and disturbed the other patient, from sleeping.
