1837.
Her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria was proclaimed with the accustomed ceremonies on the Senate House Hill, at the site of the Market Cross, and in the centre of the Market Hill, by Dr. Ainslie Vicechancellor, the Heads of Houses, Doctors, Professors, and other members of the University, on the 23rd of June. On the same day Her Majesty was proclaimed in various parts of the town by the Mayor, Aldermen, and Councillors, attended by the principal Corporate officers and many of the inhabitants, who formed a procession on horseback. After the ceremony, there was a collation at the Town Hall.
On the 27th of June, Lord Langdale Master of the Rolls made a decree on an information by the Attorney General (at the relation of William Reeves, Jeremiah Thring, and William Metcalfe) against the University, the Corporation, and others, relative to the mis-management of Hobson's Workhouse, and the misappropriation of the funds, especially of the sum bequeathed by John Bowtell for apprenticing poor boys. His Lordship declared that the purposes for which the Workhouse was used ought not to be continued, and that certain salaries which had been paid ought to cease, and he referred it to the Master to take accounts and settle a scheme for the future management of the Charity and the estates belonging thereto, and to approve of new Trustees.
