Among the most materiel prose( the tea minstions of this Committee, is that of Mr. Poexnee. the Gen tleman who lots been Clerk of Brideuell.hospital for the last IL' years; who has alin been Violei !

Mr. Por Nunn states hi know ledge of the sOrngerous tendenes i I ft ,sh.houow, and other places of resort of that desetiption. partieulatly as to the corruption of youth. He believes that men, public fotuses are used for purposes omit:tilt* the object ler whiet they were licensed, .and even. • for objects not to be named. This G:ntleman states his decided opinion, th .t the • root rrt all other evils in London and elsewhere lies in drink og, es-pe eislly in drinking spirits. He has been repeatedly told by criminals, that their crimes were owing to tins vice. l'helts he considers ttreatly prontoted by it, as the espensiveuess of excessive drinking Lads Re 1 to fraud. In violent and atrocious cases, Is , . stares consequences still more dreadful, which hare been shewn In the met:ince of many individuals convicted; anti be is cvnvinced tnat, ia most cases of nouder, the c , inrinal has previ.nsiy given hitustif up to sp.. cottons liquors.
