Exlmin.dion of WILLIAM FIELDING Erg. continued. Is there a greater number of juveniie depredators brouilbt before your Grace thanfOraellY 2—Certainly; oh, certainly! Do you consider that number to be the restelt of greater destitution of the people, or of the manners of that class of society of which those other children become worse; or that the people themselves are become mote indigent ?—I think they have be;nme worse in point of morals, from the increased associa tions of those profligate youth ; and it has been worse year after year. We have several times had all the vagabond boys that were to be fbund, perhapi, in the whole range of St. Martin's-in-the-lields, brought before us. We have not had them before us upon charges for any particular crimes; but only for such offences as probably att.& to them, tinder the deno mination of disorderly. To send them to prison wealti be cruel ; and there is no way of providing for them ; but if them w.,s a mode of sending them either to-America, to the C.ip;: of Gi;od Hope, or to the West India Id inch., we ttelVC an opportunity of taking 500 aniolgst them ; and I am sure the Magi. stratei could very speedily supply those places with . inhabitants it_they were wanted. Da you know, within your district, of thp esta blishment of that class of brothel which is devoted to children alone, and in which•noroWn op person can obtain admittance ?•:-I do not s know we have a species of..•brothel. of the'verf*Oist kind; and we often think .the bepart it•woold WO to. society. if we could effect . the sueiptession Jrifthiren.

You do not•knowe then,. of. houses in which they •make up considerably more than a hundred small apartments, built round two courts, and which are entirely devoted .to use of children ?--Cer tainly'not. - ••• . • . Are there not great dillienities in putting a stop to the -establishthent of • houses of this description, and putting dblen nuisances of that sort ?—Certainly there are;. I e!stnot know that•you have ever seen the pro cess of •borning out the keepers of a brothel. When I was at the Temple. this was established as a scheme for that purpose, and it took place in the little alleys near Temple-bar. They set two men, with lamps, before the door; they did not prevent the people going in, but the intention of this was to try the effects of shame, and the curiosity that this excited among the spectators, prevented persons, from a sense of shame, to enter the house ; and even the most hardened and profligate did not go in onto them • and by these. means the bad houses were knocked up. Some of *them would not .subsist Icrger chime week, some not isidie a fortnight.

But in general, amongst other people in this town, there is great reluctance to come forward as witnesscs in s::ch caws.

Are many informations bid before your Office against houses of t.is description ?—Very few. Do you consider theeibuse of houses of this de. scription as coating under your conuroul, as Guar. dians of the Pilfslic Morals ?—Mo...a assuredly, Upon information. In such cases we should proceed to the utmost of our exertions for the punishment of such offeeders : we should tete every exertion to come at, it possible, the tetCeisary Kittle%Sos, and then tall upon the Overs:ers of the parish to establish the pro. sedition, and to look to t h e expense of the thing, We have called upon diem at all tithes, to be instils. mental, as it were, in getting At the best kind of case to go before the Jury.

Can you state to the Cominittee at all, to what amount the expense would go pf bringing to a on viCeion a house of ill fame in the metropolis ?—I should suppose, first, the case of a efrer•cutiots brought by private persons, who are to hear the ex pense: I shall afterwards speak of the expense of a prosecution brought by the parish. Supposing that the private individuals- are to hear the expense of the prosecution, and they were to go to work in the way to insure conviction, they must, in the first place, employ an Attorney, and, in the next place, they should•employ Counsel, which would, I think, be ab. st•lutcly necessary. They n.ust then collect their wit. nesses, and' pr sbably they would be attendilig theCaurt a day or two. Under all .these, circumstances, the expense would not be les; than 814, £l5, of 111160.4 If the proceeding is instituted by the parish, I think the charge uhimately to he made by die parish Offi cer s, which the parish would have to discharge, would not be less than &W.. Do you net think that • the expense of attending these prosecutions constitutes the principal reason why so few of them are prosecuted ?—I think that is a strong reason, a very strong one, perhaps the strong. est. We hate a place in our neighbourhood, vulgarly called Doek-lane, and the Almonry, where thew hooks exist ;• we do all we can to roc them down, 'hat private interest too frequently interferes. We could yearly fill' the gaol with [glue Opole* of persons of this description.' No one see this evil without lamenting it; but in some cases it is impossible to prevent it. You have stated, that you thick the increase of de. previty amongst the lower orders of society, is less a real increase of immorality than an attendent.upee augmented population younot well recollect Ihilt 20 or 30 years ago there were establishmefsti in thit isletropolif, which the better morals of the present day would hardly tolerate ; I mean the establids. meets such . as the Blue Lion, the 801 l in the Pound, the Apollo Gardens, the Dog and Duck, the Terns pie of Fiera, and the Shepherd and Sheperdess; you remember all these . different estxbishritents, do not lyou ?—I think nearly the whale olthenr, the Shep. herd . and Shepherdess 1 cia not 'now recoilf ot : all the othets I do. I remember the Apollo Gardens, the Dog , and Duck, and.the - Temple 'of Flora, and a dreadful eaciety of vagabouds were certa;uly col. lected together in those places. In that time of day the character of highwaymen on horseback was a more frequent character than it has been of hoe years. I think the horse-pattole of the office at 80.. v. street has been of a very considerable degree or sir. vice in putting down that class of depredators; the character of the highwayman is certainly less heard of since the putting down these two isifernal places Of meeting, the D ,g and Duck, and the Temple o f Flora, which were certainly the.trueS dreadtul places in or about the Metropolis; they were the resorts of women, not only of the lowest species of prostitutioe, but even of the middle classes;' they were the r: sorts, as well of outdoor apprentices•as of every sort of (14. so lute, ptolligate, aed abandoned young men. Do you remember, that it was' a gere,ral system in this bletrcipolis some years ago, for the lower or ders to amuse themselves with what is Ceded buil banking, driving the bull; about the streets ?•—•I t'o not particelerly remember that ; but 1 have • heart: that there was a nuisance of that sort, much rikne frequent than of late years. Of ail these nuisances' ardly a vestige remains ? lam happy to think so. • • Then, in these particulars, there has been a great improverient ht. the public morals ?—Certainly, a great improvement, from the vigilanfe of the Ma. Igistracy as to the curing of these nuisances. SoMe years back, was it not a general system in the different streets of, she metropolis, far singers,ao go about singles most indecent snags I—Certainly. (To hs continua) )
