Tho Relief Committee of the Board of Guardians then wrote to Mr Fleming expressing regret at his action and inviting his observations on it. Mr Fleming, in reply, said he was astonished that any public body should he guilty of the impropriety of writing to a magistrate to invite him to discuss with them the reasons for adverse decisions.
