    went to the office of medical officer of the Markethill dispensary district, in Armagh union. I am directed to forward to you the enclosed extracts from letters of the Reverends Mr. Labarte, Irwin, nnd Frith, which have been forwarded to the Commissioners by the Rev. Lord John Beresford. The commissioners request that they may be furnished with auy observations which you may have to make in reference to the several cases therein specified, before determining as to the steps which it may be necessary for them to take in reference to the office of medical officer of the Markethill dispensary district in the Ar- magh union.—By order of the commissioners, AY. Stanley, Secretary. To the charges contained in the above mentioned let- ters Dr. Lynn sent an immediate reply, dated 8th March, ]H50) i,eing the very day on which the charges reached Doctor Lynn, a copy of which the Poor Law Commis- sioners sent down to Lord John Beresford, stating at the sametime that they (the commissioners) considered the reply satisfactory unless Lord John Beresford im- pugned its veracity. On the 12th of April last the annual and final meet- ing of the governors of the Markethill and Mountnorris dispensary, was held at the dispensary house, Joseph M‘Kee, Esq., J.P.,in the chair, when it was proposed by the Rev. L. II. Robinson, and seconded by the Rev. Alexander Gf. Ross, and unanimously resolved—That at this, our last, meeting, we feel ourselves called upon to record our opinion of the very efficient and satisfactory manner in which Doctor Lynn, for a period of nearly twenty one years, lias conducted the business of this dispensary. During that time it has been twice visited liy Government and Poor Law Inspectors, and on both occasions most favourably reported of. The institution being now about to come under a new system of management, we have no doubt but that in the able hands of Doctor Lynn it will continue to main- tain, as it has heretofore done, a place second to no other similar establishment in the province. A copy of this resolution was forwarded by thatnight's post to the Poor Law Commissioners.
