The publication of these statements, and the circulation of various idle rumours and clandestine charges, which had been made by various parties, evidently ignorant of the real facts, in the hope of bringing discredit on the intentions and objects for which the Sisters of Mercy have so nobly devoted them selves, caused the Lord Bishop to institute the investigation, which will be found in the following pages.
