CAERLEON t^UOWED SCHOOLS. THE CHARITY COMMISSION AND THE GOV EltNORS. PUBLIO INQUIRY. On Tuesday a public inquiry was held in oie of the ror-ms at the above imitation, by Mr. Walker Skirrow, au inspector appointed by tM Charity Commissioners for the purpo*o ef i quiring into the managc-mo^t of this charity. Of the governors there were preeent the Lord Bishop of the Diocese, the Dean of Liandaff, tha Rsv. Canon Hawkins, the Rav. Canon Edwards, Mr. T. Cordes, M.P., Mr. S. Homfray, Mr. F. J. Mitchell, Mr. A A. Williams. Mr. L. A. Homfray, the Rev. F. B. Archer, Mr. Whitlook Nichol, Mt. M. M. Cope, and Mr. r. Parry. There was a very large attendance' of the public, the inquiry evidently exciting great interest. The governors held a meeting an hour before the public inquiry was fixed to oommenoe, and the bishop presided. It was then stated that his lordship had received a letter from the Chanty Commissioners. The letter informed his lordamp, 88 chairman of the governing body of this charity, that they had had an interview with Mr. M M. Cope, one of the governors, and having regard to the representations made by him, they had deter- mined to send down an inspector to inquire into the position of the charity, and under the circum- stances the governors would do well not to the accounts for the past year until after the visit of the inspector.. On the arrival of the inspector the governors had a short interview with him, and then they went to view the proposed site for the upper boys' school. On th6ir return the inquiry was pro- ceeded with, the room being crowded with spec- tators. The Inspector 1!2\:1 I am here for the purpose of inquiring into the staie and condition of the charity called Wiliiams's Charity. Of th*t oharisy there are two branches, the educational and tha road estates, fcr the repair of certain roads and the church. In 1833 an inquiry into this charity was held, and in 1863 another inquiry was m1,de as to the charity. I am hero to day for a eimii«r purpose. Charles Williams founded this charily in 1717. The usual course followed upon his death. An information was filed ia the Court of Chancery, and the matter was referred to the Master, who formed a scheme that was afterwards confirmed by the court. In 1833 another infor- mation WJoti laid, and the matter was held OVAr tor three years, but little or nothing was done. From that time the school was more or leas managed nndor the old governors. Then we come to the Bctenie which was confirmed on the 2ftt& of June, 1878. It is my duty to inquire what iias been done under the last scheme, and wh*t im- provements may be made in the future manage, ment. The accounts of thecharicy are up to the 31st o! October, 1879, and include the pro, perty and road estate, I will take each cUn in this scheme, arid any question which may arise [ will hear as I go along. There is one thin< I wish to say. You muat not farcy there is any particular bias in my mind. If, directly or indi. rectly, I give my opinion concerning the charity, that will not in the least bind the Charity C Jm mission era. The Inspector then took np each clause of the scheme, beginning with. the first, which sp-wifies that the foundation and endowment shall b ■ ad- ministered as one foundation. The second stated that the income arising from the road estaw ceuail be applied for repairing and adorning the -ohuroh at Caerleon, and in improving and repairing the xoads leading into the town of Caerleon. He believed there was some question as to tuat, bat he would leave it to a subsequent part of the inquiry. The constitution of the governing body was then referred to, and a question was pit by the Bishop as to the exact meaning of words "from time totimo" in relation to the delegating of some other fit person foriony ape iQed period. The late Mr. Fox thought it ref aa t) one particular meeting, but (the bishop) thought it meant from year to year. The Inspector ho would submit tV.* to the Commisuionerfl. He vhen receivad a statement as to the way in which the election of governora was carried out. Canon Edwards said in the parish of Llengst- took the appointments were made at a vestry meeting, without opposition. In Caerleon th ve were four candidates for the offioe. A show f hands was taken and deolared iu favour of two, when a poll was demanded and a day appointed to take such poll The result was the elesti m of the preeent representatives. He eug-^eatud it would be more convenient if the eleotion were by Toting paper", and not by poll. The Inspector: Is there any trouble about a poll ? Canon Edwards replied tha* oftentimes feolinaa were stirred up which it took a long time to rid of. He thought that this might be avoided by using voting papeTs. The Inspector How many voting papers would be required P Mr. Cope: 250. Canon Edwards said the members o! tho lnm.1 board of Caerleon ware eleo.ed bv voting papers. It had occurred to him to put the appointment of these two governors in the hands of the local board. Mr. Parry did not think the ratepiy<*rs would approve of the suggestion that the bnal bo trd should appoint the two governors now olooted by the ratepayers. (Anplauso.) The Inspector said there must be no Canon Edwarda: Does Mr. Parry object to Toting papers P Mr. Parry did not object to voting papers, but prof err 6 d the ballot. It was stated that, at a preliminary meeting on the 14th of October, 1878, the Bishop of L< mdaff was appointed chairman, and Cation Ed -var-da tioe-ohairman. On the words "proper bosks ehell he kept" being road, The Bi ihop aekd what was eh aat by proper books"r The Inspector understood tie meaning to bo a form of keeping accounts as pointed out in saa scheme. Canon Edwards raH the books wore by. the lato clerk in hia office at Newport. Taoir late clerk died on the let inst. As it was propos -d t-3 erect an addition to the Boys' School, he au^geaied that a safe should be built in the wall for th3 custody cf the books belonging to the charity With regard to t'.o accounts, it was stated by Mr. L. L. Morris (from th office of the late clerk( that they were kept in the old form. The Inspector: Did you ever consider the pro. priety of adopting the forma in the Bohema ? You will have to appoint a clerk, and it will bn for yon to consider whether you should not adopt them, at once. Canon Edwards said there would be no objection to that course being adopted. It was the (ste clerk's wish that they should be kept as they had been. The BishoR read. a part of the letter he had t'e. ceived from tno Commissioners as to not passing the accounts until after this inquiry. Did that mean, he asked, that they might pass them aa øoon as the inquiry terminated in that room ? The Inspector said he would communicate with the Commissioners as early aa possible, and thought the governors should not pass the accounts until they had heard from the Commis- sioners. Mr. Cope said there appeared to be an iniprea- Bion that it was optional as to the torm; but he maintained that it was compulsory. The Inspeotor What ia compulsory P Mr. Cope The schedule ia for the use of t'19 Seniors unless they give another form. ROe Inspector It would be prudent for ttJe to to adopt that.

Mr. Fox bad held the joint offices so long it was difficult to fcejp.irate them; but now we have an opportunity. The Inspect: Did you obtain the approval of the Charny Commissioners to Mr. Fox'a salary Mr. Morris: It is not on the minutes. The Rev. D. B. Jones asked the meaning of general information" in relation to pub. lishing the acconnte. The Inspector: Publishing is a large word; but if I were a governor I should take it to mean in a > ewspaper. A large discretion is given to the governors. Canon Edwards said the accounts had been published outside the schools. Mr. Parry In March last a resolution was passed to advertise the acoounts in the Star news- paper, but as the accounts have not been passed we have not advertised them. Mr. L. A. Homfray We were obliged to ad. journ the accounts to the meeting to-day. Mr. Cope The lata Mr. Fox was clerk and treasurer. Could he draw cheques upon himself ? The Inspector He would draw upon himself, under the old sstem, if he was treaaurar and got the coney. Mr. John James here intimated that he had something to say about what took place under the old trustees. The Inspector said that was an old ftory, but be would hear Mr. James before he closed the inquiry. With refercr,0R to the appointment of auditor, the resolution of the 9th ot December was read. It stated that Mr. T. E. Cooke waa appointed agent at a salary of .£20t and that a duly qualified auditor be appointed to examine the annual accocnts of the charity at a payment not exceed- ing .£5 per annum. The Inspector What does that agency mean ? Bow many times a year does he act as agoas? Where is Mr. Cooke ? fcir. Cooke then stood up. The I nt poo tor: You are surveyor. What do you do ? Mr. Cooke I am a land agent and accountant. I e?amine the farms and buildings onca a year, at d several times if there are repairs going ou. I have goroetimos made four reports ia a year. As auditor, the accor.nta and vouchers were all pro- t-eited to me. I never receive or pay money. I allowed £5 for printing the accounts. Undss tie new scheme I was given .£15 cover every. cLing. The Tnsprctor Then, bo far, you have audited Jour own accounts ? Mr. Cooke Yes. Mr. Morris: What-is meant is this. No &coount is passed until the payment ia sanctioned by tobi) governors. Mr. Cooke Every account I have sent in h&3 be tn sanctioned by the governors bofota it was Said. Mr. Cope The duties of auditor at the present litre aie undefined. In the accounts presented for the paflt year there are soveral items which it WIlB very strange for the auditor ta pass, as the governors have not been in a position to obtain lrfortration regarding them. If you refer to tho accounts under the head" miscellaneous expecdi. turt." yon will see that there iB JB4) due to the tTuelees of charitable funds. That baa not been t,hid. 19 it not the duty of the auditor to paint (ut, Fnch an omission ? The Inspector Did you know that £40 was payable to the official trustees ? Mr. Cooke: Yes, I did, but I did not meation it to the governors. The Inspector explained that the charity had to fay year to the official trustees, and there bad been irregularity in the payment of the amount. Mr. Cope asked that stipulations embracing these matters be made. Tbt Irepector: You are a governor you move a resolution. (Laughter.) The Inspector then received evidence aa to the property belonging to the charity" for educational purposes. It was elicited from Mr. Cooke that the farms were chiefly let from year to year, tenants prying all taxes except income. With regard to the Chapel farm, at Naeh, the landlords pay the isewet or level rate, which is 22s a year. Various details v. ere supplied as to the condition of the fame, und sums recently spent in repairs. It was eiiul that at Wern-y-cwm tho farm buildings were in a very bad Eltte, and an order had been recently mtde to effeot repairs at a coat not exceeding .£136 lOs, and £100 had been laid out in drainaga, the unant to pity 5 per cent, on the outlay. There been a reduction in the rent from .£27iJ to £250, but only for the year. This had been done because of the depression in agriculture. Mr. thought the farm would be in a fair state attei the drainage, but there were 30 or 40 acres of poor land upon the farm. The family of the pr stent tenant had been on the farm from 80 to 100 years. There wa a sum of .£187 owing for rent, np to the 31st of Ootober. An order had been oade t ha.t all renta were to ba paid up before the Stst of October. As to the Pembrey Farm, the rent was .£200, and there were arrears owing rp to the Slat of Ootober of .£313 la. Since then the tenant had paid JC100. The governors had recom- mended a reduction of .£20 in the rent, provided to aid .£100 of the arrears before the let inst. AH to another form (the name of which was not heard), the tenant was said to be in liquidation. So me further dl3tp.Us were given, but they were v;Mj'.f liieible to the general public. With regard to the present cofcool buildings, it was p: iK3ed to "7 d about .£400 in making The various Becurit-ss in which the funds of the ■ hatity are invested were then gone through, is "500 in the National Provincial Baak, .t675 12 3d in tbfl Three per Cents, JS715 14a 4d in Console, and this was paid to be the money acermulated in the hands of the official trustee hom tbe payment of .£40 a year by the governors > f thie charity. There were now two instalments by the governors. In Eeduced a sum of £;9 10s 7d was invested. 1 be property also consists of certain woods, where timber might be cut down to the extent of or .£600. The governors wished that the w ney obtained frcm the sale of timber should ba IMd out on the farms instead of capitalising it. Mr. John Jamee here made a statement. He said he repigned the position as a governor in favour of the Dean of Llandaff. In 1852 there was 3Jd, whioh was borrowed from the road account, and was merged into the t chool account, without any resolution being passed by the trustees that it should be so dealt with. In 1833the board had to pay a considerable sum of money in defending a Chancery suit. The Inspector. Didn't the road estate have the benefit of that suit ? Mr. James I don't think so. That will be for those who have to look into these matters Canon Edwards It was understood to be more for the administration of the Church and road estate. The Inspector: Then the road estate ought to pay. Mr. James The road aocount was kept Fc parate from the educational until the 29th of July, 1852. Then for many years no road account was kept separate. The Inspector It seems to me the road estate ought to have paid the cost of the suit, Mr. James I say the suit was for the benefit of the bequest altogether. The Inspector Then the road ought to pay its proportion. Mr. James I shall be quite satisfied with that. As far as the money goes it is all right. It is the account I want. The Inspector directed Mr. Morris to see how the account stood. An item of J61,600 in turnpike bonds waa explained to have been partly used in building the and infants' schools, and it was thought that probably the £500 in the National Provincial Bank was the balance. Next, a question arose as to the payment of county money under the old scheme. Mr. Cope stated that in 27 cases .£138 had been paid under the impression that the children were entitled to receive those bounties. Others had made a claim, but the late clerk placed a coustruc- Ion npon the 25th clause in the schcme which ae &{iainst paying the claims.

Every tima interest was received a noto ^vue given. 'The Inspector aaked for an explanation or the pum of .£1,479 13s 3d, mentioned yesterday by Mr. John Jamaø. Mr. Morris These figures are not right. I will give you the correet^tigures. Prior to 1853 the road and school accounts were kept separate. In the accounts paesed on the 28th of July, 1853, the balances are shown as followSchool account, balance overpaid, .£951 Is 7id on road account, balance in hand, £ 21,542 7s 3id. Deduoting the smaller from the Larger sum there is a net balance of .£591 9s 8d. Those accounts were passed by lhe trustees on the 28th of July, 1853. From that time until 1872 no separate accounts were kept. On the 26 th of July, 1872, the trustees resolved that from that time separate accounts should be kept of the two branches, and that has been carried out since. In fact they made a fresh start. The Inspector: Mr. James, you said there was a balance. Mr. James: I know there was. The Inspector: You are the defender of the road estate. Mr. J. James: T am chairman of the Caerleon Liphway dietriot. (Laughter.) The Inepector Another point is about the £ 21,600 in turnpike bonds. Jcr. Morris .£600 was paid off on the 4tb of November, 1863; JE500 on the 26th of Maroh, I&64; and the remaining .£5ÛO on the 10th of November, 1S65. The money was appropriatad ia this way. A new school was built and alterations made in 1803 and loGl the cost amounting to £1,012 4s id. Towards purchasing £¡j75 12s 3d in Contois on the 17th of May, 1866, £87 15681 was expended; and there was deposited in Bailees Bank, at interest, on the 10ih of Novembar, 1865, the sum of .£500. :.rhe66 make up the sum of jE1,600. The next question considered was that of building pn upper boys' sohool, and the point to be considered was the means possessed by the governors to go into such an outlay. The It spector took evidence of the amount on which the governors had to depend in working tM education department of the scheme. Tag ;t come, made up of various items, amounted b Jt 9Q7 Os The amounts to be expended were then through, showing that there would be only a halnroe of £ 100. In unewer to the question aa to the protable cost of building an upper school, Mr. MitcS.U aid he thought tha sum named w3b rot enougb; and then it wrs said would put down ionhe Kchool. Well, then, bow were they to raise the money ? If ttc-y eacrificad their personalty they pouid involve the disposal of about £2,300; would then have to be bortowed, whioh, L 4 per cent., would Acjount was atfco taken of GovcxiMneut grants and school fees and, taking everything in, would bo a deficit of < £ 27. w orking such a school waa also considered, and it waa shown that there wot Id be a lose of .£500 a year. The Inspector said it was naoeasary to look at all these ma^teie in order to come to a right con- elusion. He took it the governors were aa s.ui raa ae enjtcdy to hnild the school if it could be done. Mr. Nicholl: The scheme is too ambitious. Arr. Parry: At our secoad meeting wa talked about a pitct) of land. Canon Edwards The 72nc: section of the scheme gins us powa to receive additional endowments for the foundation. The Inspector If anyone likes to give tia any. thing we fhall be very glad to receive it. He then Eaid he was sorry there was no chance of gettiag an upper girle' school. It was generally found that good children were those who had good mothers. The elementary schoole and their management were then considered. The present boys' school waB.bnilt ili 1724, and it was altered and enlarged in 1864. The girls and infant schools were bnilt in 1864, at a cost of .£1,012 45 4d. The governors are about to add to the boys' school at an expense of .£400. The population of Caerleon is about 1,200, A difference of; opinion wis expressed aa to the relative numbers of Churchmen and Dif-eenters, r. Cope saying that the Dkaontors were two-thirds to one.third of Churchmen, and the vicar said half and half. The i pector eaid he would take both statements. Ho then pro- ceeded to state that the founder having been a Chnrchm&r, made his charity for tbe benefit of the Church of England. He had received from Mr. Williams a report aa to the boys' sohooi, which was read. It stated that Mr. Williams receive-} a Elalaryof .£80; his afcBistant, Mr. E. Cox, .£50; two monitors. .£4. Of the girls' school, Mrd, SegII, the mistiess, leceives a salary of £71); afeiatenfc. MisE Ware, £30; monitors, JE3.

It was stated that the receipts from sohooi fesa were i;15ayear. Mr. Williams, the head master, was called in, and stated he was appointed in 1855, at a salary of .£70. At that time he had no certificato. He obtained a third cl i-is certificate in November. 1876, but passed no examination. He lives rent free, and has ccal. Was parish clerk and choir master. Ho receives tbe fees &a sexton, bat employs a man to do the work, and he geta the money. Some further portions of the report on the boys' school were read. On the books were 107, with an average daily attendance of 97'7, and th-3 highest weekly average of 103. The Government in. Eptctcr's report for 1878 was read. He e^id the school was overcrowded, and recommended an enlargement. With regard to the examination, he said reading was pretty good, recitation fair, arithmetic and spelling rather weak, siugring praiseworthy, general tone excellent. The grant for 1878 was .i:Gl19z. The lEspeoto": ThR.e i3 a frai* report. Canon Edwards: In eonsequtneo cf the io specter's report as to overcrowding, the governors had determined to take stopa for enlarging the building. Mr. Cope: Yon have cot before you the iu. spec tor's ieport of the examination, but not the schedule of the examination. The sohedule gives fi:.ll pat tioulare ot the quality of the education, (Hear, hfar.) Canon Edwards requested there should be no exhibition of feeling. The schedule was sent for. Mr. Cope said this was a vital matter with regard to the boys' school. It would be seen that in the examination of 1878 there were no soholars presented in the sixth standard. In the filth only seven were presented, and six passed in reading, four in writing, and seven in arithmetic The average age of these boys wasl3i^ears. In the fourth standard, sav-n were presented, and seven passed in reading, five in writing, and three in arithmetic; average age 12t years. In the third standard, 25 were pre- sented; 25 passed in reading, 16 in writing, 16 in arithmetic average age 11 years. In the second standard, 19 were presented 19 passed in read. ing, 17 in writing, 14 in arithmetic; average age 9i years. Jn the first standard, 3t were pM. sented, and 29 passed in reading, 29 in writing, and 26 in arithmetic average age 8 years. There was not one presentation in history, geography, grammar, cr any specific subject whatever and there was no Government grant exoept for read. ing, writing, and arithmetic. The sixth,^ fifth, and fourth standards were under Mr. Williams's supervision, and also a portion of the third. In the higher standards the presentations were not only very few, but there were none in the sixth. All the passes on the average were below the lower portion of the school, which was under the control of the assistant master. This was a very low, state of affairs. In a public elemen- tary school, wi h such resources, such a state of things was not creditable. It was far below what was required by the scheme of the Commis. sioners. If the upper boys' sohooi were built provision was made for boys passing out of the elementary into the upper; but if they did not show greater efficiency they could not be expected to reach the upper school. The Inspector asked the head master his age. Mr. Williams Sixty-seven last birthday. Mr. A. A. Williams asked what was the average earnings per child in the boys' school. Mr. Cope Fiftepn shillings. The Inspector: The upper part of the school is not up to the mark. Mr. Cope said that 158 per head was below what it ought to be. The total possible amount re- ceivable for average attendance waa 43 per head, Is for Binding, la for organisation, 33 for writing, 3s for arithmetic, 3a for reading; total, 15s. Then there was 2s per head for two optional subjects—grammar, geography, or history. If presentatlollB were made, 4s could be earned in that way. Four shillings per head could alao be earned for two specific subjects, amounting to 8a. Now, the inspeotor had before him what wag done, and what might be done—the total being 27s. The Inspeotor; By a boy doing everything. (Laughter.) ilr. Parry said such a large sum was not reached anywhere. Mr. Cope: No one ocnld say that grammar, geography, and history were subjects whioh they might not expeot to be dealt with; yet there was not one presentation >n either.. Mr. Parry said a boy could not pass m thesldh. standard before he ia 12 years of age, Mr, Cope: If the quality of education waa what it ought to he could pass the necessary examination from 11 to 12 years of age, (Applause) The Inspector: If you pleast, gentlemen, do not let Q8 have these demonstrations. Everyone will admit that the upper part of the school is not doing its duty. Directly they get the inspector's report for 1879, the governors will consider it and see what can be done to improve the sohooi to the utmost. Mr. Mitchell: There were 89 per oent. of passes In the last examination that was a large per- centage. dJ*■ compared thia with the Caerleon In- .rial School, where bad been produced results tin*.? a £ vaBce of this school. At the examina* not », last the industrial school had reading obtained a large percentage of passes i subjeote aB(l arithmetic, but on other ported Kov i* ^utterhnck, the examiner, re- aritfemetictE 6 8r°0<* ,n standards, mental excellent, bt same, FP?Uing very fair, geography one could fail + Tery feir, singing excellent. No two, yet the Bf«^iceJ:he difference between the difference in the T™ the same. The only it was on paper in tllof, p™lnati°n was tMs slates in the industrial y 6ohoola an<1 on Canon Edwards thoupl, „ j ■ WiiiismB to state that beforn H • ? i^f* rorSncteo one of the beat appointed he wU.. h. w Erhrol iricnie,j below whaf; it v.pb at ire^nt. There had boon number of jorithe from this school who had turned cut K wuo had become nnpil teachers in iScvTiicth, lao governors had no 1 objeot but tb good of .usmeon. Attacks had I !u:r, made npon the governts by persons out,side. but he was quite certain haii what y could. Be trusted the reports in the iVasiern. M'ail would enlighten men's mindd as to w-lut '1lod place. Scmo gratitude w as dae to thos'-i gtBlu'tt-en who had given their s<yrvio;?3 for th? benefit of the charity. He hoped tha people of Caerleon would now see what the facts really w re. Mr. L. A. Homfray eaid the evening bafore laal: a meeting was called in the to'1l of Caerleon. By whom he did not know. It would have been more fair and straightforward if at the time thy public were incited the person had also invited tiie goverr.< rs. and thus given tuem an opportunity of explainn g their oonduot. It was only fair to Mr. Williams to state that he had aaked Mr. Mitchell respecting the choice of pupil teachers foe Newport schools from this school, and the answer was that the managers at Newport had frequently sought for pupil teachers from this charity Bchool. Ee thought that spoke well for Mr; Williams. Mr. Mitchell corroborated what Mr. Homfray had said. Canon Hawkins testified to the fact just stated, and said the managers had sought for these youths because of their good moral training, which was of far more importanoe than mere book know. ledge. Mr. Parry said he heard of the meeting on Monday night by a side wind only, and went there. More gross misstatements were nevar made than those made by Mr. Cope. It was stated that the whole of the governors except himself were against the needful changes. Mr. Cope Nothing of the kind. A great deal of strong feeling was here shown; and the Inepector said they must not show all this feeling. Mr. Parry went on to say that a number of boya hid gone from this school and had done well. Last March tLo jrovernore v/rote to the Education Department asking if they could give a grant to Mr. Williams, arid the reply was riot until there had been er-ven public examinations by the inspeotor. Seeing that the "tone" of the school was d. tcribed as excellent," no one could fairly say Mr. Williams was not a good teacher. He waa about to complain of the report in the South Wales Daily News. The Inspector I know nothing about thnt. Mr. Cope was bound to repeat what. Moatyn Price, the inspector, said in the presence of Canon h dwards. 1 hA Inspector: You are branching into all sorts of subjects. Mr. Copg This is vital. Mr. Price stated before Cancn Edwards that we ought to make a change in our head-master. Thia was six or eisht weeks ago. Mr. Price "aid he did not wiau to speak unkindly of Mr. Williams, who hbd done his duty to the best of his ability, but he was not the class of man necesaary to hold the position of head-master of a public elementary of Aia c? hc\ option. Canon Edwards Bafore receiving that tosti- mony as endorsed by me, I should like Mr. Price to write what he eaid. I don'j; remambar what be said. Mr. Cepe: Ten trade tha remark that you quite agreed witu lum. Canon Edwards: I don't remember tie staid- ment made by Mr. Prioa. The Inspector said there would be no imnro- pristy in the governors writing to ask Mr. Pri ie what is his opinion on this question. The governors had every pow r needful, uuder the ,3r Bectien, to give Mr. Wdliams compeartation. Mr. Williams had done good service for 25 years, t nd ho would )-,ot bo thrown upon 'he world, for be would get reasonable compensation. (Applause.) Canon Edwards had alwaya been we satisfied with Mr. Williama'a character and the general efficiency of the schools. This had influenced him in favour of retaining him. If they suporaeded him they would have to pay him £ 30 a yaar com. pensation. They would also have to give a t-ucccasor.250 more salary than was given to jfr. Williams. that would increase their working expenses JE80 Q lear. He considered the eduoa. tion given woll adapted to the children attending them. The Inspector said the object now was to educate the lower classes as highly as possible, eo that if they have the talent they may be able to move up to schoola of greater distinction. Mr. Williams had served a long time, and was entitled to every consideration. Mr. Edwards, post-office clerk, living at Caer- leon, ssid he had four children in the schools, and he did not think the people of Caerleon were satisfied with the quality of the instruction given. He ondorsed what Mr. Cope had eai3. Two of his cwn boys had been 2i years in the .school, and he thought they were more backward now than when they entered the school. (Laughter.) It was quite deplorable to hear the answersg-ive:1 by some oi the children to the simplest questions. j £ r, L. A. Homfray Are you speaking for the inhabitants of the town ? Mr. Edwards: For the parents. Many gentle- men here can endorse what I say. Canon Edwards said the two boys referred to had been irregular in their attendance. The father That was on account of illness. The Rev. John Jones The general feeling of the town ia that Mr. Williams should be most Lo^urably dealt with. (Hear, hear.) The report a6 to the girls' school was read. On the books, 101 average attendance for the year, 73. The inspector reported needlework highly creditable, arithmetic very fair in second and sixth, but very imperfect in all other classes reading and recitation pretty good, attention needed as to the meaning cf worda ;tone and discipline very excellent. Mrs. Suell, has P. socind. cJa&s certificate. lkcuort as to infant school, under Mrs. Jarrett for 31 years, with a third class certificate, showed there were 97 on the books, and an average of 77 f. Inspector reported—Needlework good, order and singing praiseworthy. Amount of grant, .£49 10s. The InFpsotor That is a good report. Mr. Cope; The infant school ia the boa of the let. Mr. Bodington asked a question as to the opera- tion of the conscience clause. lIe had sent a verbal ireepage twice, but it was not attended to. The Inspector: You should havo aent it in writing. Mr. Bodisgton said he was not awa?a of thai. A conversation followed as co tho county question, and the inspector Baid tho commbaionera would advise ae to these matters. The Church and Koad Eptitte accounts were reviewed, aDd the only questions of any importance arising out cf them wae as to the meaning to b8 attached to the words in the scheme relating to the roads leading into the town, and the way in which money should be spent from the estate in repairs. The commissioners had said in a letter to the governors in 1878, that they were to repair the roads forming the approaches to the town, and not the streets and roads in the town. The inspector raid they most expend a reasonable sum in that wey. The next questions was as to the money in the iate clerk's hands, and Mr. Morris stated that on the let inst. tho accounts stood thus Church and road estate £ 524 18 10 Education account 110 3 4 Total £ 665 2 2 Jerom that would have to be deducted jCIO for salary due up to his death. He further stated that Mr. Fox's estate would be the subject of an administration suit, and he could not Hay what might be the result or what the governors might reoeive. The Inspector You see what a very awkward business it is, because you did not do the thing in the usual way by having an account at the bank. The question ia- What means have you of carry- ing on. I He took a note to the effect that the governors had no aocount in the bank ia their own name; that they treated Mr. Fox aa their treasurer, and when money had to be paid for the charity he drew cheques from his own private account at the National Provincial Bank. His executors are liable for the above sum.J Canon Edwards said claims on the governors to the amount of iC88 19a 3d had been seat in, and Mr. Morris had received XSO recently paid on behalf of the oharity. There were rents due, and Mr. Morris thought they would be able to go on. He might say that Mr. Morris had been appointed clerk pro tern. The Inspector then said they had now gone pretty fully into the whole matter, and he would lose no time in laying his report before the Charity Commissioners. a If at any time the governors wished for advice, let them apply as a body, and he was sure the commissioners would always be happy to assist them. He thanked them for their great kindness and attention during the inquiry, Canon Edwards, speaking for the people of Caerleon, expressed their entire satisfaction and warm gratitude to the inspector for his conduct. (Applause). The inquiry then terminated.
MEETING OF GOVERNORS.
MEETING OF GOVERNORS. At the close of the inquiry the governors re- sumed the business of the adjourned meeting, and nvited the reporters to remain and to attend all yearly meetings. Canon Edwards took the chair. Mr. L. A. Homfray referred to the death of their late clerk, and moved a resolution expressing the great regret and sorrow of the governors at the lose of Mr. Fox, and of condolence with Mrs. Fox and the family at their bereavement, a copy of this to be sent to Mrs. Fox. Canon Edwardm seconded the motion, and it was carried unanimously. Mr. A. A, Williams moved several resolutions relative to the appointment of officers. First, an agent and receiver, who shall oollect the rents, lock after property, &c., at a salary of .£4() « year. Alno that a olerk be appointed at X30 a year, and his duties, wore defined. This was adopted. It wall nndentClod that Mr. T. E. Cooke will be agent and receiver. A clerk is to be ad- vertired fav-, and a meeting will be held on the 12th of February, at noon, to elect a clerk. Thie completed the business, I
EXPLOSION AT POWDER MILLS.
EXPLOSION AT POWDER MILLS. Two gunpowder mills, belonging to Messrs. Pigou, Wilkes, and Lawrence, near Dartford, were blown up on Wednesday morning, and totally destroyed, by the accidental ignition of two green charges of 601b. each. Fortunately no one was seriously hurt, but the engine driver was cut about the face by a falling tile. The explosion caused the greatest consternation throughout the town of Dartford, and houses in the immediate vicinity were much shaken.

EXTK A OH f> INA RY CAHEJ OF ADMIISISTDBUG& M the Maidstone Arizes (before Mr. Justice Penman), Jchn Lionel CEamo was iudicted for feloniously^ caut-ing EHen Elizabc-th Vcrrall to take certain noxiong drugs, with intent to procure a miecai-riage, at Tanbrilga, on the 23rd of June last. The indictment was under the clause in the 24 and 25 Vio., esp. 100, tee. 58. The indictment charged the prisoner with the felony, the first count charging that be feloniouply eaufea her to take a certain quantity of oil of juniper, with the intent to cause miscarriage; a second count that the noxious thing was Epsom Baits the third that it wag a "noxious thing" unknown. The prisoner denied the charge. The prosecution had been undertaken on the part of the Treasury. It appeared that the prisonor is 22 years of ag3, an ironmonger's assistant respectably connected, and the young woman, who its. the daughter of an auctioneer, is also of respectable parentage. Mr. Kelly, in statinar the case for the prosecution, said it would appear on the young woman's testimony that he told her to say nothing about it, as he would be liable to, transportation if it were known that he had given her the drug. It appearing that she was pregnant, he was asked to marry her, but declined, n having. he said, the means of marrying; and upon that this prosecution was instituted. One single administration of the noxious thing, with the intent charged, would be sufficient to sustain the charge, and, indeed, as it was a charge of felony, only a single felonious act cjuld be the subject of substantive proof; but other ad minis- tral ions could be proved with a view to show the intent, and he apprehended that there could be ro doubt as to the intent, as there conld be no possible motive or object for administering the liquid except to procure abortion. The young woman, being called as a witness, gave evidence in support cf Mr. Kelly's statement. The girl's father stated that in Ootober, in consequence of what he had heard, he spoke to her, and tfctn saw the prisoner, and said, "I suppose you know why I've sent for you ?" He said Yes. I'm eorry for what has happened. I wish I was at the bottom of the pond." Witness said That will not mend matters. I received you into my house on your distinct assurance tint you would act honourably by her, and this is ho-V sou lave treated me." He again said he waa torry forit. Witness caid, I Ino w you're a scamp. Ycu have ruined my daughter, but marry hec, as jou promised to do; and as you say yoa can't pre vide for her, leave her in my house until you can." He said, "I can't do that without coa- euitirg my friends." I replied, "You did not, I pretunje, get their consent to ruin her. All I ask you is to marry Ler, and give her unborn child a father." He said, I don't think I promised to Karry her." I called my daughter in and re- peated what he said. She said, "Jack, you know you promised me again and again." He said, "I ecrilt remember; but on her r^arsertiig it he was silent. I then repeated my offer, Marry my u.»cght!.r, and I will provide for her," Fe etid. I shall lose my situation if I do 1 eaid, You'll lose it if you don't." I saÜi. "Draw up an agreement to marry, and I will draw up one to provide for her." Ha conti- nued to hesitate unt;i my patience was exhausted, and I said to him, Do you know I have some of the drugs you have been giving her? You told her ycu were liable to be transported for it. As true as you are living I will pat the matter in the hands of the p-dica unless you agree to marry her." He said, I can't do anything without- my br< tat-r; will you fland for him?" I did SQ, but he was not at homo. After Soma further conmunications I h nded .the bottle and tbe hex to the police. Witness" then identifiad them as having been raoeived from his daughter and kept urder lock and key until handad to the police. After evidence to character, the counsel for the prisoner urged that, at all events, the medical evidence was so ccntradictory that it would be impossible to cosvict upcn it; and he urged, moreover, that th < actual experience of the young woman harselt in this ca&e refuted the opinions of the ir-edical witnesEes for the prosecution. She had taken these overdoses of oil oi juniper and Epscm salts and was ncne the worse for them, end was as iikt-ly to be a mother as before. The jury, aftei being about two hours in delibera- tion, found a verdict of Guily." hnt added a recommendation to mercy on the ground that the young woman was a party to it." The learned Judge, in passing sentence, said he should give effect to the recommendation, not merely on that ground, but the groped that the drug used was not necesserily and in its own nature so noxiOU3 as ethers were which might have been used, and that it appeared tha.t the prisoner had made Bome hquiry with a view to satisfy himself that it would not seriously injure the girl, Still it was a very serious offence to endeavour to procure abortion in any way, and he must sentence the prisoner to imprisonment for 15 months with hard labour.
