8/3/1846 Charity of a Christian Minister
We have received a letter from a correspondent, detailing a charitableness that deserves to be made known, far and wide. It is the custom, in most parishes, to distribute alms to the poor on the first Monday in Lent, and in the parish of St. Pancras, the Rev. D. Jenour, of Regent square church, is one of the almoners. Our correspondent was among the applicants for relief; he has a wife and four children; and on stating his distress to the reverend gentleman, he was told that he could only have a ticket for some meal, but that that would make them some good soup. This seemed by a poor gratuity. However, poor as it seemed, it was eagerly and thankfully received. They expected to find it oatmeal - no very high expectation - but they were disappointed, and surprised to find it (as our correspondent avers) a mixture of horse beans, split-peas, and blue peas, ground up together, "just as such as the country people give to pigs, when they are fattening them!" A portion of the meal has been sent to use for examination, and we should think it hardly fit for pigs; it is, certainly, not fit to offer to human beings. "We tried to use it," says our correspondent, "but it caused extreme pain, with strong purgings; indeed it was, as a purgative, equal to any jalap." This is one of the most disgraceful simulations of charity that has come under our notice. We have, unhappily, too often to remark upon the increasing callousness of those in authority to the sufferings of the poor, but we seldom have presented to use so barefaced a mockery of charity, and insult to poverty as this. That a minister of Christ's gospel should sit, clothed in purple and fine linen, and swallowing the luxuries that the four quarters of the globe produce, and offer of his poorer fellow-creatures stuff that is hardly fit for swine, would be highly reprehensible, if the gift were unaccompanied by a remark; but accompanied by the remark, that "it would make some very good soup!" it is disgusting. We do not charge the disgraceful quality of the article, distributed as food for the poor, upon the reverend gentleman alone; but we hold him especially reprehensible for accompanying such a gift with insult.

15/3/1846 To Correspondents
The Rev. A. Jenour. - We have received a communication from this gentleman, demanding the name of the correspondent who furnished us with the facts stated and animadverted upon in our last week's paper, and which Mr. Jenour regards as a "serious attack upon his character." As Mr. Jenour, however, does not deny any part of the case, and as the materials charitably given to the poor woman, to enable her to make some nice soup withal, were forwarded to and examined by us and others, and found to be what was stated, so far as its composition could be made out; we do not feel ourselves called upon to expose our correspondent and his family to the inconvenience and probable persecution that seem likely to follow. If the Rev. Mr. Jenour feels disposed to contradict any part of our statement, or to impugn any of the animadversions were have made upon the circumstances of the case, he shall have due justice done to him in our columns.
