October 19, 1894. THEE 34 MUNICIPAL. HENDON BOARD OF GUARDIANS. THE usual meeting of the Hendon Board of Guardians wa3 held at the "Workhouse, Edgware on Thursday last. Present: MesBi-s, Loveiov (in the chair), W.

Memory (vice), Anderson, Job, Priest, and Mr. D. R. Soames (solicitor), and Mr. F.

J. Seabrook (clerk). Examination of minutes of the last meeting having being read and confirmed, Mr. Chas. Biddisoombe reported that he attended at the Workhouse on Monday, and examined the whole of the stock in hand at the house and schools, and found it very satisfactory, and correct according to the books.

He called attention to the very unsatisfactory condition of the inmates' clothing stores, which should be considered without further delay. The stores were very It was decided that the report should be received and adopted, and a Clothing Committee appointed to report further upon it. The Small-poz Soames re ported that since the last meeting of the Board, a paragraph had been inserted in the Evening Standard, and nearly every paper in England, that a serious outbreak of small-pox had occurred in the "Workhouse. Since then he had heard that it had been Anderson said lie was staggered when he took up the Evening Standard of Wednesday week to read of the outbreak. It was the duty of the Board to contradict it as strongly as they could.

There had been no small-pos in the house, and lie did not know of one case in the Lovejoy said that it was the duty of the Board to find out who circulated such a scandalous report. It will be well also to have the doctor's assurance on the matter. It should have been given instead of leaving it to the Master. Finance Committee. The Finance Committee's report showed a balance of and recommended payment of bills amounting to £1,890, which included a bill of £500 on account to the Middlesex County Council Asylum, which had not been Chairman said he must congratulate the Board on their financial position.

It was a very satisf actory state, and he hoped the Finance Committee would give such attention as would insure a continuance of such prosperity. Maintenance of a Mills, of 42, Strode Road, "Willesden Green, made application for a reduction in the Board's charge for the maintenance of his wife, an inmate of "Wandsworth Lunatic Asylum. It appeared that some few months ago, the applicant was in a sound financial position abroad earning about £250 a year. "While he was away he allowed his wife £3 a week, but when he came home, after some time, he found that his wife had run up a lot of bills, and she had since developed lunacy. She had been in an asylum before.

Mr. Marsh, the relieving officer, was called in, and she was taken to Wandsworth Asylum, and the Board made an order for lis. a week from Mr. Mills and the costs of the removal, £2 7s. 6d.

The weekly maintenance had now amounted to £4 making a total of £7 6s. which the Board were pressing Mills said he could not pay lis. a week, as he was doing all he could to clear up debts amounting to £84, and there were some creditors very pressing. He was only earning £2 17s. 6d.

a week, and if a judge imposed a heavy weekly contribution he would be unable to meet these two Lovejoy said that if he explained to the judge the difference in his financial position, an excessive order would not be Board refused Mr. Mills' application, and ordered proceedings to be taken to recover these arrears. Mr. Smith an absence of some few weeks Mr. Timothy Smith put in an appearance at the Board, and explained that it had grieved him very much that he was unable to be Chairman said that the poor of Willesden had suffered in his absence.

He was glad to welcome Mr. Smith again. A Pauper's Judd, relieving officer for Harrow, brought before the Board the case of Ann Powell, of Roxeth, formerly in receipt of Parish relief. She had lately died, and was possessed of a quantity of old coins and silver plate. This had been taken by Mr.

Temple Prior, solicitor, of Mr. ob said that the Board should call upon Mr. Prior to render an account (as Mr. Haynes, of Alperton, had been ordered to do) as to what be had. Chairman said he knew Mr.

Prior to be an honest gentleman, and if an intimation was sent to him that there was a claim from the Board, he would set the matter The Clerk was directed to inform Mr. Prior of the matter. Literature for circular letter was received from Mr. W. T.

Stead, calling attention to the Free Literary Society, of which he was Secretary, and which had been formed to supply workhouses with literary reading for the inmates, at an annual subscription of £2 Board did not undertake to do anything in the matter, and the letter was ordered to lie on the table. Refused Outdoor Memory cilled attention to the case of a yonng married couple named French, of 29, Victor Road, College Park, on whose behalf Mr. Gough, police court missionary, applied to the magistrates at Harlesden for relief last week. Mr. Gough stated that these had applied for outdoor relief, but were refused.

Mr. Memory said that if this were so it was a disgrace to the Clerk said he did not remember the application. He was ordered to make further inquiries and report to the Board. The Dietary oombe moved that a small committee should be appointed to revise the dietary table of the house. He said the present table had been in use for the last 35 years, and there was a need for Anderson quite concurred in this, and said he would willingly support Mr.

motion was put and carried committee wa3 then appointed, consisting of Messrs. Memory, Anderson, Job, and Biddiscombe. Mr. Bust's Bond. A letter was read from the Poor Law Officers Guarantee Association stating their willingness to become the surety for Mr.

Rust in the sum of £150, for the parish of Little Board accepted the surety. An Old Clerk to the Bourn Union, Lincolnshire, wrote stating that Fred. Hardy, aged 45, who lived formerly at Woodlands, Greenhill Park, Harlesden, was admitted to their Union. He was now in a suite of imbecility, and would have to be moved to the Asylum. Would the Hendon Board of Guardians accept a pauper's settlement without the usual removal order Priest said he knew the gentleman well; he was once in a prosperous The Board refused the settlement.

The Board then adjourned. HENDON RURAL SANITARY AUTHORITY. THE fortnightly meeting of the Hendon Rural Sanitary Authority was held at the Workhouse, Edgware, on Tuesday. Present: Messrs.Eck (in the (vice-chairman), Anderson, Ellement, Job, and Woodman, with Messrs. F.

J. Seabrook (clerk), D. R. Soames (solicitor), and C. A.

Woodbridge (engineer). Wembley Park minutes of the last meeting having been read and confirmed, a letter was read from Mr. Catley, contractor for the Wembley Park Drainage, asking for the £700 balance of his amount. He said his business was suffering severely from the non-receipt of the cheque. It was now overdue, and if not paid he should have to appear in the County Court, as his creditors were Anderson said this was a most serious matter for Mr.

Catley. Could not a special meeting be held on Thursday, the date when they expected a cheque from the Metropolitan Tower Construction and a cheque be drawn Soames advised that a letter be written to Mr. Catley, informing him of Anderson then pressed the case further, and asked why a cheque for the balance could not be drawn on the Treasurer. Chairman said there was no need to do this. A cheque for £500 had been drawn on the Harrow general rate, and why should not a cheque for the balance be drawn from this fund at once Job concurred with this suggestion, and on the motion of Mr.

Anderson, a cheque for £700 was ordered to be drawn. Hetherington's was reported that the nuisance in Stag Lane had not yet been Anderson said he had ascertained that Mr. Hetherington was no longer the owner of the land. He (the speaker) had seen the lady who was now the proprietor, and she proposed to alter the whole system of drainage on her property, so that when this proposal was carried out it would remedy the nuisance. Mr.

Maun Mann, Clerk of the Works at Edgware, wrote resigning his position from Saturday last. He said he did not accept the statements made by Mr. Veal. He never had his brother's help, nor did he ever do work at Rickman3worth. He had always tried to carry out his work well, and had perhaps made Veal had been misinformed, and he hoped the Board would not be antagonistic to him, by the false accusations wbich were Mr.

Veal: If they were false accusations, why should he resign? I have been told about it by many people. I brought it before the Board to ascertain if there was any truth in the matter. I made no personal imputation. If there is no truth in it why does he resign I am sorry he thinks I make an accusation against him. It is a matter commonly talked Mann's resignation was accepted.

The Position of Kingsbury. Mr. Anderson said he regretted sincerely that owing to illness he had been unable to be present to propose the motion standing in his name. At the same time, he was glad that the Board had allowed the motion to stay on the agenda. The motion he had to propose was that a petition should be addressed to the Local Government Board, and Middlesex County Council, asking that Kingsbury should remain a rural parish.

Resolutions embodying this had been carried at a large meeting convened by the ratepayers of Kingsbury. The parish probably omitted at the time of the investigation at Stanmore to make their voice heard, but they must remember the old ge It was never too late to mend." As representative of Kingsbury he felt that the inhabitants did desire to remain rural. He did not know whether he could enforce any argument stronger than the desire of the large meeting requiring this to be done, excepting that under the new regime Kingsbury would be entitled to send three members to the new Urban Authority, and as he understood that the meeting-place would be Sudbury, and the time would be the evening, the difficulty of getting members to go there, especially on a cold winter's night, should be sufficient excuse for not wanting to go to the Wembley Authority. It practically meant disfranchising the parish, because any person appointed to represent that parish must be appointed from the extreme west end, inasmuch as there were no people in the east end. As to whether they-would be better off he had his own views on the matter, but it was not necessary to discuss them here.

Nor would he enforce these views, for sufficient for the day was the evil thereof." He would esteem it a favour if the Board would endorse his Veal said that he was pleased to second the resolution, as he believed it would be a good thing for Kingsbury to remain amongst them as a rural authority. He was sorry that Mr. Anderson had not taken his present view of the matter at Stanmore, but he was afraid Mr. Anderson had not then looked far enough into the subject. Job thought the Board had nothing to do with the position of Kingsbury; it was a purely parish matter.

Kingsbury had the same chances as Harrow or the other parishes to make suggestions. Other parishes made suggestions and had them approved; Kingsbury remained silent. The representative for Kingsbury was then most distinctly in favour of urban powers. Looking at it from several points of view he could see no reason why the Board should interfere, stepping in and trying to upset the arrangements of the County Council in the matter of joining Kingsbury to Sudbury, it was not the proper time now. Kingsbury's opportunity had gone Chairman said that the reason why the Board should interfere was that Kingsbury had been for so many years a portion of their district, and now their representative asked the Board to allow them to retain their Job, it is too Anderson said it was not too late, therefore Mr.

Job's argument had not a leg to stand on. Mr. Job, at the decease of the Board, was going away to another parish, and he (the speaker) could not understand Mr. Job's views. It was the.

usual peculiar dogmatic policy which always characterised Mr. Job. In him there was no generosity (Mr. you) or kindness in any observation he had addressed to the Board on this important subject. Mr.

Job was going away to Wealdstone. Wealdstone, it seemed to him, was one of those places Walton described Walton under Wewer Where God goes never." (Laughter). The people of Wealdstone seemed to observe that peculiar dogmatic characteristic of always showing their teeth, without ever showing the milk of human kindness; and this was the characteristic of Mr. The Chairman: Tou see he comes here without any was ultimately decided that letters should be written to the Local Government Board, and Middlesex County Council, stating that at a meeting of the Authority held on that day, the parish of Kingsbury, by its representative, expressed its desire to remain rural, a desire which was sanctioned by the Board. When to the voting, Messrs.

Anderson, Veal, and Job voted for the motion, and no one voted against Job requested that the names of the voters should be added to the Anderson said this was not necessary. It was only for a cantankerous member who did not know his own mind. Stanmore Local Govern; ment Board wrote enclosing their sanction for a loan of £1,000 for the Stanmore Isolation Veal proposed that the agree? ment between the trustees and the Board 1 should be prepared at Anderson seconded, and the proposal was carried. Application was also made to the Prudential Co. for the loan.

Mr. Zngold Contradicts. Mr. Ingold wrote saying that in the reports in the local papers last week on the censure on Mr. Mann, it was reported that Mr.

Soames said, Mr. Ingold had written to the Board on the question." This He had been put to great inconvenience in the Mr. Veal said he was under the impression that there was a letter. Finance. The Finance Committee reported a balance of £1,880 4s.

and recommended the payment of the following £440 18s. Sanitary, £424 10s. Edgware and Little Stanmore Drainage, £12 12s. Wealdstone Roads, £19 14s. Roxburgh Roads, £6 8s.

and' Wembley Park Drainage, £500. The committee also recommended that the Clerk should bring up a report of all the minutes relating to the culvert near the Board School, Wealdstone. The committee also recommended that Mr. Done's claim, amounting to £75, should be paid, with permission to build over the line of sewer. Mr.

Woodbridge was directed to prepare an estimate of the amount that would be required to complete the Edgware and Little Stanmore Drainage with a view to obtaining a loan for the amount. report was adopted. Tar Paving. On the motion of Mr. Anderson, Mr.

Woodbridge was instructed to prepare an estimate of the cost of continuing the tar paving from the Bald Faced Stag to the Magpie and Stump." The Board then adjourned. MARYLEBONE POLICE LEGAL. BAR NET COUNTY COURT. Before His Honour Judge Holl. A Hendon Mary Faed, of Colin Deep Lane, Hendon, appeared as claimant' in an interpleader case in which the execution creditors were the London and "Westminster Loan and Discount Company, Limited, for which Mr.

J. Jaekman, solicitor, appeared, while Mr. Wells, solicitor, Finchley, appeared for the High Bailiff of the Court. The Claimant wa3 represented by Mr. Fred Bitter, barrister, instructed by Messrs.

Kingsbury and Turner, and-the claim was for £25 for damages sustained through the seizure of a Bitter, in opening the case, said the horse in question had been seized by the High Bailiff of the Court in respect of a debt of which was lent to the claimant's husband on a promissory note, which the claimant signed. The claimant, owing to the loss of the horse (which was seized by Mr. Dew, the Bailiff of the Court jwbiie her servant was out with it), had been put to considerable inconvenience, and even loss, and she now claimed damages accordingly. Faod, the claimant, was called, and Bhe stated that the horse in question was solely her property. She had property of her own, the income npon which averaged some annually, and received some a year from relatives.

She. could not undertake to be responsible for all her husband's debts. The horse in question was an American animal. It had been very useful to her as she could not very well walk about. At the time when the seizure was made, Bhe did not know that her husband owed anything.

She never had anything herself without paying for it at once. Having lost the horso she had to hire one from Mr. Sutton. She had other horses on the establishment, but being told by Mr. Dew, the bailiff, that any horse from her stable that might be seen outside would be seized, she did not allow any of them to be taken out.

She had paid a considerable sum for the hire of horses since her own was much as and more than that some hay which she had purchased was wasted because she could not have it carted in from the field. answer to Mr. Jaekman, Mrs. Faed said that her husband was an artist. She had kept the gates of her premises locked since this affair had commenced, but her principal object in so doing was to keep out gipsies, who Btole fowls and anything else they could lay hands Jackmon How do the gipsies generally get in Faed: They break "Wells "When you bought this horse, for which you now claim, did you make any inquiry concerning its age Faed: I do not see what that has got to do with this "Wells It has a good deal to do with Faed: Very well; tben all I can say is that I am not a horse-dealer, nor am I a further questions, Mrs.

Faed said she did not hire a horse to draw the hay in because the cost of BO doing would have the profit on the answer to Mr. Bitter, Mrs. Faed said she had paid for the hay crop, but had received no benefit from Thomas "Wright, in the employ of the claimant, gave evidence as to the horse being taken by the Bailiff of the Court while he was out with it in Hendon one morning, and Mr. Creed spoke as to having sol6T Mrs. Faed some hay for Dew, bailiff of the court, stated that he valued the horse in question at' He thought it was between 15 and 16 years Jackman here submitted that if Mrs.

Faed. had paid the amount of the debt at once, she could at once have had the horse back again and saved all further trouble, instead of incurring all the additional expense and loss of which she complained. There was no doubt as to her having means to discharge the Honour said it was clear, that the claimant had signed a promissory note for her husband, but the claim now made in respect of damages was simply preposterous; in faot, so far as damages were concerned, it was a manufactured' case. However, it seemed that the claimant had been at a certain amount of loss, and he estimated that amount of damage at about which sum he would allow her, with certain oosts. Local: Prosecutions.

Mir. Samuel Tilley, solicitor to the Willesden Local Board, appeared to support three summonses issued with the object of securing sound cornices at.the tops of houses in £he first case was against W.

The Local Board after that made a careful examination of all the "buildings in the dis- drict, and a good deal of work was done.

Many of the houses in Kilbnrn were erected long before the formation of the Local Board, and the builders used to use materials of a very inferior sortl That material had now become decayed, that was to say, it had lost its qohesive or binding qualities. Therefore it was necessary that the structures or the cement should now be repaired in order that the public might be protected against Brown, building inspector, gave evidence of the result of his investigation of the premises. The cornices and the parapets had broken away and needed immediate repair, as it might fall at any time and endanger the safety of the public. The defendant said his house had been built 28 years.

The visitors won the toss, and the home team started what proved to be a very fast and exciting game. The game had barely been in progress a quarter of an hour when J. E. Page, with a long shot from the right wing, opened the score for the Athletics. C.

Page, shortly after the re-start, sent in a hot shot, and Hartley, who was lying well up, caught it on his knee and sent it through the Medicos goal again. This seemed hardly to the liking of the visitors, who now played in desparate fashion, and they managed to equalise the score before half time, and were at this time rather pressing the home defence. On the resumption of the game, the right wing Eoon took the ball into the visitors' quarters and passed it across to Darville, who seized the opportunity of placing the home team a point ahead. St. Barts.

did all they knew to equalise, but were unable to break through the home defence. Shortly before the close of the game, Cooke, the home outside left, had the misfortune to twist his knee and had to be assisted off the field, but notwithstanding that the home team were thus handicapped, when the whistle sounded for the cessation of hostilities they were able to claim a hard-earned victory by three goals to two. The whole of the team played well, as did also the opposing team. Harrow Athletic (2nd) v. Holborn Circus.

was also played at Harrow, the visitors winning by 4 goals to nil. The 2nd team seem rather unfortunate as they have not yet won a match. Harrow Harlequins v. Wasps match was played at Harrow on Saturday last, the weather being all that could be desired, and the ground was not at all too soft. The home team, winning the toss, played with a slight decline in their favour, the Wasps starting the ball at about 3.45.

The first five minutes of the game the Wasp forwards pressed the home scrum very hard, and forced the ball into the home team's left-hand corner, when one of the visiting three-quarters, getting possession, made a short but "dodgy" run, and scored a try between the posts, but to the great relief of Harrow the place failed. This so early in the game rather disheartened the home team, but (after the kick-off the game settled down in mid-ground, and the Harrow forwards heeling out better than they had done at first, enabled the back division to get possession, and Lang, from a well-timed pass from Brand, scored a try after a splendid run, which Brand converted, thus placing the locals ahead. After the ball had been re-started about eight or ten minutes, Lang again scored, and Brand added another goal to Harrow's score. The game then settled down to some real hard play on both sides, when again, owing to some good passing by the home three-quarters, Lang managed to dribble the ball the over line," and to score a try almost on the touch line, Griffiths taking the place-kick, but as luck would have it the ball struck the cross-bar, and bounced back; the kick, however, was a splendid one. Half-time was called soon afterwards, Harrow leading by 2 goals and 1 try to a try.

The Wasps now pulling together, gave Harrew some hard work to keep them out. But one of their heaviest forwards now hurt his leg, and this made them much weaker in the scrum, which perhaps enabled the home team to work the ball up to their opponents' 25. Lang, after a neat bout of dribbling, scored Harrow's fourth try, but Brand failed to-get the ball over the bar, although the kick was a straight one. Devitt soon afterwards scored for Harrow, after taking a hard pass very neatly. Griffiths taking the place only just missed improving the point by the ball falling short just between the posts.

No side was soon afterwards called. Harrow winning by 2 goals, and 3 tries to a try (19 points to 3). Griffiths and Brand are to be commended for the way they have improved their place-kicking, at which they have, we believe, practised untiringly. The Harrow three-quarter combination is improving steadily. The forwards, though individually good men, have scarcely yet learnt to play together, and they also want to pay special attention to the heeling-out part of their work.

We Bhonld pick out Griffiths, Rogers, and Dadson as having played well. P. Douglas-Jones at back, though small, light, and new to his work, made some very smart kicks into touch. The teams were as follow P. Douglas-Jones (back), E.

From the start the visitors attacked, Browett sending in a hot cross shot, which was successful, following this up a few minutes later with a warm daisy cutter," J.

Powell doing ditto shortly before half time, making 3 to nil in favour of the Churoh. After the interval the Church again were first to commence operations, Browett again beating..
