SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

Sir, the Board have now under their consideration the Evidence taken at the official inquiry into the conduct of the master of the workhouse; and they will have no objection, when their decision has been given, to lay upon the Table of the House a copy of the depositions of the witnesses, and of the letter of the Board communicating their decision on the case, if moved for.

In reply to Mr. W. H. SMITH,

SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

said, that, while the Board were considering it, he was going to allow the Guardians to see a copy of the Evidence.
