      commending a return to the system of in-door relief as practised in 1838 , declaring that the taxing powers now vested in the vice-guardians were objectionable , and tbeir administration extravagant ; and that it was unjust to t \ row upon the land alone the maintenance of the hi h poor . The operation of the existing law was encouragingthe yrowth of pauperism , until it threatened to " on- p nearlv the whole population , and co * g B ^ mg which promised to absorb nearly the \ rhole MS urce 3 of the country . lord 2 Jaas , in secondii g tus resolutions , contended that the power of ,.... dug indiscriminate oufc-door relief tended to retard the improvement ¦ which was now gradually becoming manifest in Ireland .

      Sir YT . Somehyiixe excused himself from the necessity of tracing tie past history of the poor law by -the fact , that the topics referred to in the resolutions before them , and especially the question of out-door relief , had been recently investigattd before a committee , and debated in the legislature at ample length . Without expressing any abstract approval of the system , he contended that the late introduction of out-door relief had been absolutely necessary to avert the most deplorable sacrifice of human life . It was , however , only admitted under the overwhelming pressure of distress ; and at pre-£ ent the relief of paupers out of tbe act was much diminished , that of able-bodied persons having decreased from 108 , 000 on May 12 th , 1849 , to only

      102 in the corresponding week this year . The right ion . baronet proceeded to vindicate the vice-suardians from the charge of mal-administration and extravagance , and enlarged upon the difficulty of the position in which they found themselves during the crisis of the Irish famine . As that country was now improving , he trusted that the resolutions would not be persisted with , as they might retard the consolidation of the . new industrial condition of the people , without holding out the prospect of any practical result . CoL Dpxse supported the resolutions ; which were opposed by Hr . Sharmas Crawford and Mr . P . Sckope . The latter- hon . gentleman added a variety of details relative to the mismanagement of the Castlehar workhouse .

      Sir L . O'Briex defended the guardians of the inculpated unions , and declared that the promulgation of similar ex partc and scandalous statements of the working of the poor law system was producing the most injurious effects in Ireland . Mr . O'FLAUEnir gave a general support to the resolutions . The house then divided—For the resolutions 65

      Against 99—25 The report on the Railway Abandonment Bill was brought up , and two new clauses , having reference to Scotlaud , added , the discussion of the amended bill being postponed by consent until the third reading . On the motion for the second reading of the Tenements Kecovery ( Ireland ) Bill , Mr . P . Schope remonstrated against passing at the present conjuncture a measure designed to facilitate the process of ejectment in Ireland . He moved as an amendment that the bill be read a second time that day six months . Mr . O'Flahertt . opposed the measure as bein * illiimed .

      Mr . Mitchell also considered tke bill unnecessary , as the Irish law already offered sufficiently ready means for dispossessing tenants of their holdings at the will of the landlords . A miscellaneous discussion ensued , which occupied some time . Ultimately Mr . Frewes declined to persevere with his measure against the opposition now offered to it , and the amendment beinc agreed to the bill was lost . The house adjourned at half-past one o ' clock . "WEDNESDAY , Jdxe 5 .

      HOUSE OF COMMOXS .-Edccatioxai . But ,. — The debate on the second reading of Sir . Fox's Educational Bill ( adjourned on the 17 th . of April ) vas resumed by Mr . Axstet , who expressed his codial concurrence In the principle of the bill as a wise and liberal measure , which , whilst it enlarged the means of secular instruction , recognised the necessity of religious education , and tbe rights of parents to teach their children religion in the form thoy preferred . He examined at much length the objections urged against the bill , the rejection of which would indirectly sanction the existing insufficient system .

      Air . Hexkt Dhummoxd observed that it had been unanimously agreed in this discussion that the State should educate the people ; but there was a confusion between the terms " education and " insiruetion , " which differed in meaning and object . Education was the drawing forth of that which i 3 good , and the non-development of that which is eril ; and he believed that State education was an impassibility . Mr . Wood defended the educational fenndatiens and institutions connected with the Church , which treated man as a spiritual being , aud , whilst improving his intellectual and moral qualities , deemed it ot paramount importance to educate his spiritual faculties . He showed that the Church of England lad not been , as alleged , behindhand inthe establishment of schools , and that since 1 S 11 , the date of the ifational Society , there had been an immense improvement iu tbe system adopted in the aplication

      p of the Parliamentary grants for stimulating education , the Church schools in 3 ~ JJ mounting to C ' ' and the scholars tO 400 , 000 . The sum expended annually on Cnnrch education alone was £ S 7 ± , 00 i ) . whereas the whole amount of Parliamentary grants from the beginning was only 4720 , 000 . Everything in the present 9 ystcm of education was in proTess ; the best p : trt was only three years old , and a cut and dried plan , like that in the biU , founded upon a ph-. losophic . il principle , would interfere with that progress . When there was a real check to the expansion of education , it would be time for the Legislature to interfere ; but the subject should Oe taken up by tbe government . Girin « - credit to Mr . Fox lor sincere and even exalted views vet believing that education demanded highly qualified teachers , or the care of pastors or parents , lie conk not consent to place children in schools where thev wouid receive a precarious instruction .

      i C ^ G 3350 X said tuere was no question in wjich the working classes took a deeper interest tuaa that of unsectariau education . If Parliament made school attendance compulsary upon persons employed in factories as a condition of earning Dread , u ought to provide schools , at the expense of tiie community , wbich all religious denominatioas ^ md attend . He did not approve of givlnrr the Privy Council power to levy rates in support oi scaools ; he wished tbe power to be permissive He not

Secular instruction was not the

      province or functiou of the Chui-ch ; if it was j faat a reproach would it be to the Chnrch that i ^ f ceiIt " the adulfc Population of England and Wales could not write their names in the inariiage registers 3 Jlr . Saner , believed the exact principle of this hill to ue this—that it is tie duty of the Legislature to compel a provision by rate upon property for an education in which the exclusion of religion was an esseatial element Hitherto education in this coa ' - 7 /? . UGen bai * d upon religion ; the morals oi Christianity were the highest form of morals , anl Mr . Locke connected even intellectual refine ^ inert with Christianity . Religion and Christianity Laving been recognised as the necessarv basis of another kind . It was said that an instruction should not be given to children which their parent " t = ° t approve of , but ho maintained that K the duty of the State to give such an - *™ ti - ~

He . dS ^ rt s ^ ek to exclude religion ; he sought to extcnd in fltrne ion , foandmg his measure on tbedemoSated principle , that something could be done , not in £ mohshing the existing educational institutions 4 , reconstructing them , but in improving thea < ren " v now at work , and making it so harmonize with the new that a greater amount of good mi « ht be accomplished . lie repeated some of the facts he had stated on introducing the bill , showins the dP

      Scicncy of education in the country , which pointed , he thought , to some flaw in the existing . system ! Theological teaching ,- unaccompanied by expansion of the intellect and amelioration of the ' hoaiit , took ne root and produced no harvest . The divisions pre-Tailiaw amongst educational bodies , proved that something more was requisite to keep education from retrograding , as it was really doing in some districts . He denied that the terms " secular" and " reli ious" were antithetically opposed . It was a monstrous , an almost impious , assumption that studying the works of our Maker led the land away from religion .

      —of an ednc . ition that should not leave children ignorant ot the most important earthly matters connected with their daily interests . Ho "did not propose education as a panacea ; but it was an essential condition , without which the best efforts to subdue or mitigate social crime and misery would ° Sr . MuNiz suJported the bill . He did not object to Church education , but he knew that the working classes were deculedly against the interference of the Church in this matter . The question then wa whether their children should go "" fgethCT wthou education , or have such an education as this bill

      ^ TKouse divided , when the >^« g ^ £ oond reading was negatived by 2 S 7 a-dins . ob , so ^ wiS ' infMeasures Bill went through committee preform * , and the Titles of Religious Congregations Bill was read a third time and The house adjourned at six o ' clock . TflURSDAY , June 6 . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Factories Bill . — The house then went into committee on this bill . Mr . Bankes said it was some time since the attention of the house was occupied with this very interesting question , ne had now to state that the important amendment , which was to be introduced by the noble lord the member for Colchester ( Lord

      John Manners ) would not be proposed at this stage of the proceedings , but on the bringing up of the report . He ( Mr . Bankes ) made this explanation on behalf of the noble lord , who was unavoidably absent from the House , aud was at that moment attending a public meeting in a distant part of the country . The amendment to which -he referred had in view the coufiuing the work in factories , of young persons and young females to ten hours a day . Mr . Elliot rose to move the following amendment : —Clause 1 , page 2 , liue 8 , leave out all words after the word " that , " for the purpose of inserting these words— " it shall not be lawful for young persons and females to be employed or to work in any

      factory for more than ten hours daily , between half past five o ' clock in the morning and half-past eight in the evening ; and it shall be lawful for said young persons and females toswork by sets or relays . Provided always , that each such set or relay shall , during the hours between half-past five in the morning and half-past eight in the evening , be absent from the factory for a period of not less than three consecutive hours . Provided always , that on Saturdays -the period of work of . such young persons or females shall not exceed eight consecutive hours , exclusive of mealtimes , between the hours of half-past five in the morning and four in the afternoon . " The lion , member proceeded to refer to the relay system at present adopted amono

      the factory operatives of Roxburgh , Berwickshire , Selkirkshire , and Peebleshire . Those persons were at present working contentedly and happy , and earning good wages ; but for some reason or other they were now to be at once discharged from their work , and thrown tm the parish for a subsistence , lie wished to know why such a calamity was to be inflicted on so large a manufacturing district as that ? Mr . Horner s reports stated , that if it were possible to keep the machines in mills going all through the twenty-four hours , it would be much mure advantageous for all . lie protested against any law being passed which would have the effect of placing the miljs in his part of the country on the same footing as the mills in the north of England , which were generally owned by large ca-The

      pitalwts . bill as it stood would have a very injuriou--effect upon the owners of watermills , for in winter time it was impossible to say when the mills would commence working , owing to the floods , and in dry weather , when they would be compelled to stop . Indeed , he thought the bill would ruin many of the millowners . and be the means of throwing out of employ a great number of labouring people " who would have no other means of livelihood . Although he was quite ready to admit that only one rule was to be applied to all mills and factories , yet he had to remind the house that , while that one rule would not interfere with the operations of one class of the persons who were to be affected by tho bill , it would act in a very injurious manner . to another class . ( Hear . ) He . therefore , thought it his duty to propose the amendment of which he had

      given notice . Sir G . Gret said the amendment of the hon . gentleman was opposed to the whole spirit and purpose of the bill . He was quiteready to admit that a general law of this kind must operate somewhat unequally in different parts of the country : but that was an objection not only to this bill , but ' to the whole course of legislation on the subject , and his hon . friend had , in fact , raised the whole question whether there should be any legislation at all as to the duration of labour in factories . If he thought mills worked by water-power should be specially exempted , he ought to have proposed a separate clause to that effect , and not proposed a general alteration of the law , which would have the

      effect of sanctioning the relay system throughout the whole kingdom , subject , of course , to hisT suggestion that the workers should have an interval of three hours during the day . Rather than have the alteration inserted in the bill , he would leave the present law-as it . stood , because the effect in the former case would be to keep the children employed ia factories away from their homes during a period of fifteen , hours . As to water mills , a clause would come under their consideration , which provided thai under cerUin circumstauces mills might WOVk until a later hour , to make up for lost time arising from a too deficient or a too abundant supply o ^ f water . Hut as the amendment of the hon . gentleman would have the effect of sanctioning the

      relay system throughout all the manufacturing districts , he felt bound to give it his opposition . Mr . Uetwood said if there was one thing in factory legislation more to be deprecated than another it was provisions of a partial nature . He regretted that the Right Hon . Baronet the Secretary of State for the Home Department should have given the sanction oi his name and the sanction of Government to any departure from the Ten Hours Act . ( Hear , hear . ) Before the Right Honourable Baronet , however , gave that sanction , he ought to have found out what really was his own meaning and the meaning of the Lecislaturo in reference to the Factory Enactment . If the Right Honourable Baronet had discovered that the intention of the Legislature was m favour of a relay system , the better course would have been for Governmentto have introduced a bill declaring that henceforth the relay system should he tolerated , though for his own part he w » a

      prepared to vote for any proposition that would have the effect of restoring the Ten Hours Act to its integrity . ( Hear , hoar . ) He had sufficient confidence m the enterprise and stability of English manufacturers to believe that they could overcome almost every restriction that might be imposed upon them by factory acts , but so long as so much uncertainty prevails on the subject-so lon <* as the system was tolerated of having one law this year and another next , it was impossible for them to carry on their operations with success . ( Cheers 1 He approved of the Ten Hours Bill wheu it was passed , and he did so now because he believed the bill was for the protection of women and children wno were unable to protect themselves ( Hear hear , and cheers . ) He never wished to place any restrictions either upon itanual labour or machinery , and he was still as hostile to that as ever but as far as regarded women and children , he was quite ready to adopt restrictions ^ for their safety ( Hear , hear . ) ' "

HOUSE OF LORDS .-Brbach of Privilsoe .-Lord Brougham called the attention of their Lordships to a breach of privilege , consisting in a tissue ofmisstatements in two papers with reference to his conduct in a recent divorce bill . One of those papers had done all m its power to repair the injury , but the other had not done so , and if at the next sitting of the house he felt as he did at thatmtfment , he would certainly move that the printer be called to ihe bar .

      divided , when the motion was carried by 83 against' 68 . ¦ " • . i ; Lord J . Rcsseko moved for leave to bring in a bill to regulate the modo of administering the oath of abjuration to persons professing the Jewish ' religion . Briefly referring to the report prepared by the select committee , as containing full information regarding the present state of the law upon this subject , the noble lord oostponed until a future stage any discussion upon the principle of the measure he wished to introduce . After a warning by Mr . Nbwdegatb , of the irreligious character of the proposed step , which he declared his intention of opposing hereafter , in which Mr . Plumpirb joined , leave was given to bring iu the bill .

      On the order of the day for the resumption of the adjourned debate on tne English and Irish Universities , Mr . Gladstone suggested that , as it had come on unexpectedly , it should bo further adjourned until Monday , to which Lord J . Russell assented . The Election's ( Ireland ) Bill , debated at the morning sitting , passed . The other business was disposed of , and the house adjourned at eight o ' clock . ( From our Third Edition of last week . ) FRIDAY , Mat 31 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The Bill for the Abolition of Suxday Fairs was read a second time , on the motion of the Earl of Carlisle .

      Lord Lucan moved the second reading of the Distress for Rent ( Ireland ) Bill . The motion was agreed to , and the bill read a second time . Sunday Trading Prevention Bill . —The Earl of Harrowbt moved that the house should go into committee on this bill . Lord Brougham looked upon measures of this sort with great anxiety . No ono had ever felt the deep importance of Sabbath rest more than he had , but if they attempted to do too much , his fear was they would defeat the object they had iu view , and render the consecration of tho Sabbath unpopular with the multitude . If they strained too hard , their penalties would all be in vain . Why should this measure be confined to the metropolis ? and why

      should a person there bo allowed to buy milk and cream on the Sunday , but no tea and coffee ? Shaving and hair dressing after ten o ' clock were to be prohibited ; but people might buy newspapers , they were one of the absolute necessaries of life . They could not buy a bible , a prayer-book , or a sermon , out they could buy Bell's Life in London , if they wanted to know anything about the Derby or the Oaks , ( near , hear . ) He must take this opportunity of expressing his surprise at the outrageous address agreed to in the other house , by which all Post Office labour , " and consequently all business , was to be suspended for twenty-four horns , for it appeared all the mails were to bo stopped on Sundays . The Earl of Mounicashell . — That is not this

      bill . Lord BnouonAM . —Did the noble lord think he was such an idiot as Dot to know that ? ( Great laughter . ) He knew very well it was not the bill before the house , but if tbey passed the measure now under consideration , the other might follow in its wake . All ships , he supposed , were not to sail on the Sabbath ; these men seemed to think that idleness was the best way of keeping the Sabbath . He had been in many countries , not only in those which were Catholic , but in Geneva and the Lutharn states of the North of Europe , and he thought it was only just to this country to state that nowhere , excepting perhaps in the towns of Scotland , was tho Sabbath better observed than in England . Ho know no great city in which the Sabbath was less broken than in this metropolis .

      Ihe Earl of Harrowbt said , that ia the poorer districts of the metropolis move business was done on Sundays than on any other days . In reference t © newspapers he wished to err rather on tho side of indulgence than severity . His object was to put an end to useless Sunday trading , without interfering with that which was absolutely necessary . He hoped the house would allow tho bill to go into committee . The Bishop of St . Asaph supported the bill , and instanced the New-cut and Seymour-street , in Lambeth , as places which were a disgrace to any civilised country on the Sabbath . After some farther discussion , the bill passed through committee .

      Australian Colonies Bill !—Earl Gret moved the second reading of this bill . Dwelling upon the rapid progress of the colonies in question , whore the population had increased tenfold , and the exports fifteen fold , within tho past twenty years , the noble earl explained the object of the present bill to be the provision of a free , regular , and constitutional government for the British dependencies in Australia . Some discussion ensued , after which the bill was read a second time . Their Lordships then adjourned .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS .-SirE . Boston moved a resolution , declaring that it is unjust and impolitic to expose the free-grown sugar of tho British colonies and possessions abroad to unrestricted competition with the sugar of foreign slave-trading countries . The question , he observed , was one of great importance to the West India colonies , but of stillgreater importance to the intorestsof humanity ; and his object was to consider the question as-one of humanity and of high moral principle rather than of trade or as affecting the prosperity of our colonies . He traced the liistory of the alteration in the sugar duties from 1841 , when those on slave grown sugar had been reduced to a scale which it was supposed would have enabled our colonial sugar to compete with its rival in the British market to

      184 C , when the measure was introduced against which he complained . Though tho effects of that measure had been mitigated by the alteration in 1848 , whereby the colonists were granted a comparative respite , thtro was nothing in the condition of our West India colonies which warranted the supposition that when tho differential duties were brought to a level tho distress in the West Indies would not bo as great as before . Reminding the house of the misery and destruction of life attending the slave trade , he urged that , if the slave grown sugar of Cuba and Brazil were admitted to free competition with our own sugar , wo must make up our minds that wo were promoting a system which produced as much misery and degradation as could exist in any human condition , and which was the worst enemy of civilisation and of the diffusion of tho Gospel in Africa .

      Mr . K . Evans seconded the motion . Sir . Home concurred in believing that the West Indies wove subjected to an unfair competition , but believed that they did not so much require protection as the abolition of the laws which prevented their obtainiug a full supply of free labour . By encouraging the importation of African negroes as free apprentices , we should place the West Indians upon an equal footing with the planters of Cuba and Brazil , and thereby diminish the demand for slave labour , and do more to

      destroy the traffic than could be effected by all our efforts ah forcible repression . The hon . member concluded by moving as an amendment to ' the motion the addition of words denouncing tho obstructions interposed b y the Legislature , in the sugar growing colonies , to the supply of free labour from Africa and elsewhere . Mr . Mangles supported the amendment . A long discussion ensued , and tho house divided—. For the motion 231 Against „ ' „ ' 275—11 The house adjourned at two o ' clock .

She had swallowen some sugar of lead ; but being drunk , her hand was too unsteady to hold the phial straight , and she therefore spilt some of . the poison . She was ' conveyed to the station , where an emetic was administored to her , which operated effectually , and she soon recovered . —The prisoner said she had been

      drinking freely during the day , and on her return home she looked in the cupboard for something 10 eat . She , however , found nothing but the phial ; and ' fancying that it contained gin , she endeavoured to drink it . — She was discharged with a severe . reprimand . j WORSHlPrSTREET . —A Police Trap . —Philip Morgan and Jiimes Roach , alias Brown , the latter of whom was recognised by the police as a returned transport , were charged with having feloniously enterod tho dwelling-house of Mr . Edward Hogg , postmaster nnd money-onler office keeper , of the Hackney district , with intent to plunder the premises , and also with having _ violently assaulted Eliza Chapman , one of his female servants . —Inspector Coward , of the N division , stated that in

      consequence of information he received on thellth ult . from a man , natned Myers , who apprised him that he had been solicited to take part in a concerted plan to enter and rob the Hackney Post-office , in conjunction with two desperate housebreakers , and that it was their intention to carry out their design on an early Sunday evening , when ifc was known that the family were usually absent , he proceeded to the house and kept watch there on the evenings of the 12 th ult , and two following Sundays , but nothing occurred to confirm tho information so given until Sunday last , when he again proceeded there , with several others , and having posted Sergeant Attvrood in a coal-ccller at the end of the passage , immediately fronting the street-door , secreted

      himself and Sergeant Breman in a darkened room adjoining , the prosecutor , pursuant to previous arrangement , having loft home with his family . They remained so concealed till about ten o'clock , when , a knock came at tho door , which was opened by tho female servant , and he heard tho prisoner Morgan inquire if her master was at home . On telling him that he was not , he asked her to allow him to wait till he returned , and she conducted him down to the kitchen , from which he came up in about ten minutes , and oalled out to the girl that he would let himself out , as he could not wait any longer . He then opened the . street door , and the prisoner Roach , and the man Myers , who had given the information , immediately rushed

      n , and Morgan closed the door on the outside , leaving them both in the passage . A violent struggle then ensued between the servant-girl and one of the men , followed by a heavy fall in the passage , and on witness and Breman hastening out they found Attwood engaged in a contest with Roach , whom they overpowered and secured . Roach was then conveyed to the station-house * , where he was searched , and two pieces of a strong cord , with a running noose at the end of one . of them , together with a crowbar and a strong clasp knife , were found in his possession . The prisoner Morgan was at the same time brought in by Clarke , another constable , who had been watching outside , and secured him as he was leaving tho premises . —Eliza

      Chapman , the prosecutor's servant , corroborated tho detail given by the inspector of the circumstance ' s which occurred after the entrance of the prisoner Morgan until he admitted tho two other men , and added , that the instant ho got into the house the prisoner Roach rushed towards her , and grasping her tightly round the throat with his left hand , struck her with the . other several violent blows in the face . After knocking the candlestick out of her hand . he again struck her a heavy blow , which fellod her to the ground , but before ho had time to renew his violence he was seized by the officers , who rescued her from further ill-usage . She remained , however , in a fainting condition for some time , bleeding profusely lrom the face , which was

The prisoner then commenced an attack upon him , and whilst defending himself with his staff the inspector and Sorgeant Breman hastened to his aid , and the prisoner was ultimately secured . —The prosecutor , ' Mr .

      appeared in a morning paper for a clerk and messenger , respecting which-inquiries were to be made at 457 , New Oxford-street , where he called ; and having seen the prisoner , who told him that the amount he would require as a deposit was £ 20 , as a sort of security for the large sums of . money daily passing through the hands of any one appointed to fill the situation , he said ho should take time to consider . The prisoner told him that he would give him until the afternoon , when he should provide himself with another , ' . and , on his making a demand of a sovereign , in part payment , he gave it to him . The prisoner finally agreed to take £ 5 , with the understanding that witness should- commence on the following Monday morning , and on

Circumstances having come'to his know , ledge from different quarters , he toik tho liberty of opening one of the numerous letters handed to him by the prisoner for delivery , which removed all doubts of fiis being greatly imposed upon ; and upon his threatening to expose to every applicant the infamous transactions , the prisoner said" If you

      , do you will ruin me , as I must rob others to pay you . " But witness said he would persevere , and in the presence of tho prisoner cautioned upwards of one hundred persons not to pay him any money , as he had not the means of providing them with employment . The prisoner said ho would rather conduct business in that place than afc his other office , that he mi £ ; ht more easily " chisel . " Sparkes , Campbell , James , and Stanley , were his partners , and his son was connected with Nixon in an office of the same kind at Hull .

      before the day came round , which , as might bo expected , he never did . The consequence of which was ,-that the poor young man was prosecuted , and being convicted at the Central Criminal Court was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment . but having laid a statement of the ease before Sir George Grey , an order was immediately issued for his discharge . The young man had suffered seriously in his health from the treatment he had received . — Mr .

It was soon ascertained that the fixtures had been sold to one of those eccentric tradesmen

      who are called " general dealers , " who sold them to another general dealer at a small profit , tho rapidity of exchange being considered to be sufficient ground for an abatement of price . The sale of the goods by tho prisoner left no imputation upon the character of the party by whom they were purchased , the prisoner being known to him , and having applied to him to become a purchaser upon the pretext that tho City of Xondon as well as his company were persecuting him to take up Ins freedom aud pevfovm other acts which were supposed to be necessary operations to a City tradesman . The complainant , upon findin g that the tenant had vanished , and that tho promises wero stripped , applied to tho police , and tho

      prisoner was apprehended . —Tho prisoner said he had upon taking the premises agreed to purchase all tho fixtures for tlio sum of £ 100 , to be paid to tho complainaut at the rate of 15 s . per week , and that he had actually paid off some of the debt , together with his rent , and he called a man to prove tho fact of the existence of a contract to that effect .

I aint answerable for what other pcoplo do . ' —Some of the policemen present said they had lone known the boy to be a thief . —The Prisoner : "I Gave cot no father or mother .
