Mr . BURCHELL , of Watford , supported this view , and spoke at length in favour of the case . Mr . CABBELL was of the same opinion . It was recommended to renew the petition—the other business was proceeded in , and the Court adjourned . The petition of Bro . Kernot has since been received and approved . The Annual Festival in aid of the Institution will take place on the 20 th of May , under the superintendance of a numerous Board of Stewards .
