Union, enclosing a resolution passed by them in reference to the Local Government; (England and Wales) Bill, as follows: "That this Board is of opinion that the change proposed in poor-law admin- istration by the Local Government Bill of 1893 should be omitted therefrom, ani any alteration ahould, be dealt with by sep irate legislation after full enqairy by a Royal Commission." They aiked the Board to pass a similar reeolulion.-The Chairman remarked that there was a strong opinion on both aides of the Honse of Commons that no alteration in the Poor Lawphould be made through the passing of the Bill. It would be like altering the Poor-law by a aide-wind. No doubt the Poor Law would be dealt with sooner or later, and it should be taken up by a separate bill, and after careful enquiry. It was not a party question at all, as could be seen that the eeoond reading was carried without a division. 1f they passed the resolution of the Wandsworth Union it would meet their view of the case.—Mr W. Pryce said one of the points that required amendment was the mode of the eleetion of Guardians. It seemed a wrong point that these men who did not pay rates J should have votes.-The Chairman remarked that the whole question of the Poor Law would be debated in the House of Commona. Both Mr Gladstone and Mr Fowler had said that it was a matter for discussion. -Rev Mr Lee: If we carry this resolution, it in. volves everything. I think almost every Board of Guardians in the country have passed similar resolu- tions to this on the point.—Col. Twyford We oniy wish enquiry prior to legislation.—Mr Thomas thought it was most important to pass the resolution. —The Chairman moved, and Mr Thomas seconded, that the motion of the Wandsworth Union be adopted. —This was carried, as well as a resolution to forward the terms of the resolution to the Local Government Board. This was all the business of public importance. MACHYNLLETH,—WEDNESDAY.

The Guilsfield and Meifod Guardians having rp. ported that they were prepared to pay £5 towards sending the deaf and dumb boy to Manchester school, it was decided at once to get him entered in the school. A letter was read from Mr Bremner Smith, of Oswestry, stating he was prepared to make plans and specifications for the improvements wanted in the vagrants ward for 3 per cent on the cost, with an additional 2 per cent, for supervision of work. Several circulars from various Unions were read bearing on the Local Government Bill now before Parliament. It was decided that they be left on the table. A circular was read from the Burton-on-Trent ( Union, relative to the Pauper Lunatics and Im- beciles in the Workhouses, drawing attention to the following resiolutio-na, which had been moved at the afcove Board That the grant of 4s. per week at present r«ceived by Boards of Guardians from the County Council, in respect of each pauper lunatic cbarsreab'e to the Union and maintained in an Asyluoin should be given for Pauper Lunatics and Im'oeciles, who are maintained in the Workhouse Wards if the latter are conducted to the satisfaction of the Lunacy Commissioners, in the isanie way that such grants are paid to the Parochial Boards in Scot- land, and that a representation be made to the Local Government Board." The B )ard concurred with tfa's resolution. Mr J. Thompson Williams th¡>n drew attention to the payment of the doetore and thfir fees, and in sup- port of his suggestion, that the Board should engace two qualified men, who would have to devote their whole time to the Union at a salary of £ 100 each. The matter was left in Mr Williams'e hands, that he might bring some definite proposal to lay before the Soard at the next meeting.
