BOARD OF GUARDIANS.
did take place, he should certainly go in for the appointment of a paid chaplain." Mr. Evan Davies, in seconding, suggested that a few of the Guardians should occasionally -visit the House to hold prayer meetings with the paupers. This, in his opiuion, would be much more effectual than to listen to a minis- ter preacning on 'Justification by faith,' and other niiriilar subjects, which he knew very little about (laughter). He would be very glad to join with others to carry out this sugges- tion. Mr. T. H. Roberts said that the amendment proposed by Mr. Richards did not go far enough for him, and he would stick to his resolution, viz., that a list be made of the visits paid by clergy and ministers during last year, Bo that the country generally would know what these people did for the tithe and the large salaries which they received. On being put to the meeting the amendment was, however, carried. Mr. T. H. Roberts again pointed out that not one of the clergymen of Ruthin had visited the House since the 29th of November. Mr. Richards pointed out that a large number of those who were in receipt of out-relief did not attend any place of worship on Sunday, and at the next meeting he would propose a resolution with reference to the matter. The Chairman: We cannot compel them to go to a place of worship, ivir. Richards, and make that a condition of relief. All we can do is to urge them to attend. Mr. Richards: That is the object of my motion. THE RECENT INQUEST AT RUTHIN. THE CORONER AND THE RELIEVING OFFICER. The Relieving Officer for the Ruthin district called the attention of the Guardians to the report of an inquest held at Ruthin on the previous Thursday, at which the Coroner (Dr. J. R Hughes) had criticised his action in con- nection with the matter, and blamed him for not attending to the deceased woman. He stated that he had been to see the medical officer of health with reference to the woman, and could do nothing further. < Mr. John Roberts said it appeared to him that the Relieving Officer was in no way to be blamed in the matter. The authority respon- sible for the disgraceful state of deceased's house was the Town Council of Ruthin as Sani- tary Authority. The Board should take steps to refute the statements made by the Coroner. Mr. John Garner concurred with Mr. Ro. berts, stating that the Inspector of Nuisances for Ruthin should have seen into the matter. The case was certainly a disgrace to the town. Mr. Evan Davies said that if the Relieving Officer had overlooked his duties in the case, the Coroner should not have criticised him so severely, as he had only just been appointed to his responsible position. But the Relieving Officer was not at fault, and it appeared to him (Mr. Davies) that the Coroner did not know his business, and should withdraw his remarks. Mr.W. G. Richards suggested that the Board be supplied with a report of the remarks made by the Coroner before any resolution was passed on the subject. It was, however, ultimately agreed that the Clerk be instructed to write to the Coroner asking whether the reports of the inquest which appeared in the pr ess was correct.
