Reads- Relieving officer denies applications by Sar. Deacon, not even Friday before her death; fear of workhouse may have preyed on her mind; she suppressed fact of son's earnings, hence decision not to relieve her out of the house; Mr. Reed had reasoned with her; Bd. resolved to send facts to papers, will be guided by Central Bd. Braithwaite again shuffling.
