Mr Walker said he thought that the Committee ought to bring up a report as to what was to be done at the Jubilee Home. Mr Boys thought they were departing from the original idea of the Jubilee Home. As he understood it, the idea of the pro jectors was that the Home should be for the most respectable of the poor. Now, it seemed to him, they were sending all sorts and conditions. The Chairman said the Home was in tended for the indigent poor of both sexes. The Committee intended to bring up a report shortly as to the Home. The Com mittee were taking great care as to who was to be sent there. Mr Walker said he had been down to see the Home and was well pleased with it. But still he could not but think that the Board had taken a leap in the dark at the request of a few enthusiastic people in Christchurch. He hoped that tne Com mittee would not rush at the matter, and thus make the acceptance of the £1700 a millstone round their neck. The Chairman said that was what the Committee were doing. They were not rushing the matter. Mr Thomas said he thought that the Jubilee Home should be a kind of reward for good conduct. Mr White said he thought the Home should be used far those cases which were now boarded out, and which were costing the Board a good deal of money. At next meeting he should move a resolution on the subject. He thought they would find that they would require to keep the Armagh street Depot open for casual cases and shelter. In reply to Mr Pariah, The Chairman said that the Armagh street Depot was now virtually closed. The report was then adopted. The report of the Orphanage Committee was read, as also was the report of the Lady Visitors. They were as under: — "The Orphanage Committee begs to re port that the subject referred to it by the Board has not yet been exhaustively dealt with, and your Committee is not therefore prepared at this meeting to make any re commendation. The Education Board having kindly promised an examination of the school by Dr. Anderson has sent in the following report on the result thereof: — Lyttelton Orphanage school, examined January 10th, 1839.
