Your Committee having given full consideration to the evidence
have come to the following conclusions—
1. That the statements contained in the "Northern
Light," of October 26th as to the delivery of forage
in Vestry carts at the Cornwallis Road Workhouse are
correct.
2. That Mr. Furlong having stated that the cornbin
and forage so delivered on May 31st and June 1st
and 3rd, 1886, were taken from his private stables;
and there being no entry in the Vestry books or other
evidence disproving that statement, this Committee
accepts the same.
3. That the forage so delivered on and after
June 9th, 1886, had been stored at the Vestry Depot in
the Liverpool Road; that a part of this was cut, and that
all was loaded by the Vestry Employes, and delivered at
the Workhouse by the dust or other carts of the Vestry,
which were as a rule on their way home to the Cottenham
Road stables.
4. That the forage delivered on and after June 9th,
was so delivered by the order of Mr. Collis, the then
Superintendent of the Dusting and Slopping' Department,
and was paid for by Mr. Furlong.
5. That a pony (presumably the one stabled at the
Cornwallis Road Workhouse which belonged to Mr. Furlong,
was on at least one occasion shod at the Liverpool Road
Depot, but that that there is no evidence to show that
Mr. Furlong was cognizant of the fact.
6. That the cob sent to the Cornwallis Road Workhouse
on June 3rd, 1886, was sold on June 19th, 1886,
by Mr. Furlong to a Mr. Nunn; and that on June 26th
Mr. Furlong replaced it by another cob bought of a
Mr. Linstead, which was sold in September or October to
a Mr. Dowding.
