T n S 7 U D 0 E ABOUT T H E SEPARATION i , F T H E VJM ; K .
The B t v . H . J f i n i n j e said : I beg now to move the
resolution of which I h a T e given notice. We are ail
aware of the decision of the Local Government Board
in t b i l matter—a decision for the moment, unfavour­
able to the wishes of the Yorkshire members of this
Board; and a decision, moreover, which takes no note
of the unanimous wish of the township forming our
district. I n tbe reply of a portion of the Guardians
to the Startforth Sural District Council's petition, a
great deal was made of the principle which under­
lies tbe Union Obargeability Act, and i t was strongly
implied, i f not actually stated, that tbe Durham
portion of tbeir Union w i s impoverished or pauper­
ised by tbe immigration of men and others out of
work to tbe Durham side; and that i t would be unfair to
allow any division, iuatmuob a s tbe cost of keeping
tbe Yorkshire paupers would fall upon tbe Durham
ratepayers, Now, I am anxious to have this state­
ment or implication tested. (Hear, bear.) I t can
easily be done if the Durham Guardians are willing.
Tbey ought not only to be willing but most anxious to
show that tbey bave adopted no arguments which
cannot stand tbe test of the strictest enquiry. (Hear,
hear.) I f tbey can prove what tbey imply, then I for
one should cease to agitate or take part i n any move­
ment having for its object the severance of the Union ;
t u t until this is done, so long as I bave the honour of
being a member of this Board, I shall not cease to
work for the removal of tbe injustice under which we
labour. No Yorkshi reman who i s worth bis salt would
do so. Let them give us the returns upon wbicb tbeir
arguments are based, and then they will do what is
honourable to themselves and satisfactory for us. I
beg t } move " Tbat a return be made of toe names of
those paupers now on the books of tbe Tetsdale
Union who bave immigrated from the Yorkshire
portion of tbe Union to the Durham portion during
the last twelve months."
