§ DR. BREWERsaid, he wished to ask the President of the Poor Law Board, Whether he has heard, on reliable information, that the master of the St. Pancras Workhouse has been suspended from the duties of his office for one month; and, if so, on what grounds?
§ MR. GOSCHENSir, I have heard officially that the master of St. Pancras Workhouse has been suspended from his office for one month. He made himself a party to certain allegations to the effect that some of the patients were improperly discharged from the infirmary before they were cured. He also frustrated the efforts of the guardians by making reports for which there was no foundation, and accordingly he has been suspended without a day's notice. The workhouse, containing some 2,000 souls, has been intrusted in the meantime to the charge of a clerk.
