At the weekly meeting of the Guardians of Marylebone held

yesterday, the Secretary read a letter from the Poor-law Board respecting the late in- quiry into the flogging of women in the workhouse. The letter dwells strongly on the disorder and turbulence existing in the workhouse—on the absence of conditions for the successful management of the paupers;. and, concurring with the Guardians in accepting the resignation of the porters, requests them to call on the Master to resign his situation also. The Guard- ians resolved, by 12 to 4, that as they had already decided on admonishing the Master, they decline to reopen the case. In their speeches they de- nounced the interference of the Poor-law Board with their workhouse.
