REPORT OF THE LORDS' COMMITTEES ON POOR LAWS. By the Lords Committees appointed to cnr‘ider of the Poor Laws, and report to the I louse ; and who were empowered to report the Evidence taken before them front time to time to tse House; and to whom sLveral Petitions on the subject have been rJerrvd; ORDERE'D TO REPORT, That in appiyirg themselves to the important sub ject referred to their consideration, the Committee have felt it their duty in the first instance to direct their attention to the Laws which are to be found upon the Statute Book at an early period, the provi sions of many of which were afterwards embodied in the Act of the 431 of Elizabeth, and laid the foun dation of the present syston. The Statute of La- bourers of the 23J of Edward 111. appears to have been enacted in consequence of the melancholy t Gott arising from a pestilential disorder that had pieva led at that period, and which caused so grt.at a se.:r6ty of labourers in husbandry, that an Act was passed containing the following provisions : That eve; y person under sixty years of age, able to work, and not deriving any fixed maintenance from trade, han dicraft, or personal property of his own, nor possess ing land requiting his own labour, and not bei,:g already engaged in other service, should, if required to engage in a service fit and suitaisle to his station, be held to be so en:;aged to the person an requiring him ; and should receive the usual wages of the part of the country in which he should serve, on an Ave rage of the last twenty, or six, or flue years." There are other provisions to prevent a greater number cf labourers being employed by any oar: per son than are necessary for his service; and also on the punishing of those who shall refuse suitabht ser vice and employment, by imprisonment, unless pro per security shall be given. There then follows a series of Acts of the tame year (23 Edward III.) to prevent agricultural la boarers from quitting their service before the time agreed upon, without license or reasonable cause ; and against the giving or receiving of higher than the accustomed wages; under pain of imprisonment in the case of the artificers or workmen, and of the forfeiture of treble the value in the case of the Lord of a Town. or Manor offending against the Statute. The 2J of Richard 11. confirms the above Acts, and in the I2th of Richard 11. other Statutes weuc enacted, restraining labourers an servar.ts from leaving the hundred, rape, or wapentake in %%filch they had resided and were employed, without a cer tificate of the cause of their depat cure, and specifying the time of their return (12 Richard 11. cap. 2). The 12th of Richard LI. cap.*, prohibits the giving or taking of more wades than are limited by Statute. The Sth chapter of the same year directs, th-e ne person who has been brought np to the occupeti , of husbandry to the age of twelve yeere strell afterwards put to any other trade; and that all Levee nants of apprenticeship contras y to this Act shell he null and void. At the same period a law was pateed for the punishment of itinerant mendicants wen were able to work; and for providing for such beggars as were impotent, in the towns and cities in which they might be resident at tl: rime of the proclemetien of the Statute ; and providing further, that " it the people of the above cities and towns were unwliing or unable to maintain them, they should be conve,ed to other towns in tl.e huedred, rape, or wapentaLe or to the towns where they were born, in laity d rys after the said procletnetion. It further provided, that all those who went in pilgrimage as mendicants, being able to work, should be treated in the same manner as the aforesaid servants and labourers, unless they had letters testimonial of their pilgrimage, under the seal of the Ordinary. Clerks of the University, who go about begging, are also required by the Act to have letters testimonial from their Chancellor, un der the same penalty. 'l'he 12th 'Ol Richard 11. cap. 9, ordains, that the Act relating to servants and labourers begging ant' wandering, shall have force and be executed as well in cities and boroughs as in other towns and places of die kingdom. By the 13th of Richard 11. cap. 8, it is accorded and appointed, that the Justices of Peace in eve re county, at their Sessions held between Eisler ;ilia Michaelmas, shall make proclamation at their discre tion, according to the price of victuals, how much every mason, carpenter, tyler, and other artificers and wutkmen, and also labourers by the day as well in harvest as in other times of the year, shall receive daily, either with or without meat and drink, during that period, between the aforesaid Sessions. The 15th of Richard 11. cap. 6, directs, that in every license from thenceforth to be made in the Ciiancery of the appropriation of any parish church, it shall be expressly contained and comprised. that the Diocesan shall ordain a proper sum of money, according to the value of such churches, to be paid yearly, of their fruits and profits, to the poor perishio tiers of the said churches, in aid of their living and sustenance, for ever ; and that the Vicar be well and . .ufficiently endowed. Other Statutes were passed in the reign of Henry the Sixth and Henry the Seventh, tor continuing. the Statutes of Richard the Second concerning the wages of labourers, to which reference has been made; and also for preventing persons , wishing to change their service from,leaving their employers without sufficient notice to enable them to provide other servants in their place. Some of the ratty Statutes which have been already cited, and particularly that of the 2.1 of Rich. ll.' icier to the principle of settlement by residence, but appear to have been enacted rather in the view of providing against the scarcity of labourers in hus bandry (which was occasionally felt in those times), than to have had any reference 'to the claim of iner. viduals to relict from particular districts ; but they • Et sl les Gents des dim Owe on Vines ne ♦oillent on ne potent suffir de les Troyer, qe les di.z Mertdiaantz sot ttaitten• Octet Valles dans le liordrrd, kr. &c.

THE finest system of Ethics is to confine within due bounds, and thus to regulee the PASSIONS; unrestrained and insubordinate they impetuously destroy those barbers which Religion and Morality have made sacred ; to curb but not anni • bilate then' appears the lesson of Prudence, best calcidated to limit their effervescence. Every d'sorganization of the human frame requires great me dical knowledge to remedy, and the public welfare is promoie ' when Professional men (disregarding the suggestions of the en ' vioas and interested) devote their studies to the treatment of those complaints generated by imprudence, and the ebullition of the passions at an unguarded moment. " The strength of a na tion consists in the health of the people;" but I: is melancholy to reflect on the daily saceidee to the ignorance of unfeeling emryri elm, and to counteract as far as possible Its further ravages, we offer to suffering humanity, the result of our own exiierietice in the various diseases of Debility. Ebe unwary victim of solitary vice, (early acquired at school, before Reason has asserted her right over the mind), will, in contemplating his powerless state become susceptible of enlivening sensations, in knowing that the most complicated state of exhaustion m..y be roused into manly energy. Intense study—immoderate anxielo-longresidence in tropical climes, and many other causes, will frequently derange the N SO. VOUS seeress; in such cases we can hold oat an assurance of re. animation, by remedies which have long answered the sanguine hopes of patients of both sexes. That bane to human happiness Lees VINZIZA ; can now he treated frart2ssly, the improved state of Medical Science having divested its antidote of those distressing propsvtire that so long rendered its exhibition uncertain and harassing. We best explain our method by observing to patients labouring under this malady, that a few days only are required for the removal of early symp. toms; that the most inveterate case wilt y.ell t:t our remedies within a month, and that in a person oho only suspects himself injured, the disease nary Ise prevented altogether from appearing; a similar remark applies to many other derangements of the gene rative system, as weakness, ulcerations, Sec. especially strictures, obstinate cases of which are daily removed without the use of cau stic or stimulants.

L..LI:• provide for the aged and infirm, and r; se u• ,, 'Me to maintain themselves, who were these!ore compelled to subeist by begging; the Statutests,ving !or one of their objects to, prevent itinerant mendicity. Tile first law in which any imperative words are used in respect to the relief of the poor, is the 27th of Henry VIII. cap. 25, by which provision is or dered to be made by , 4 all Governors of Shires, Ci ties, Towne, Hii.tdreds, &e by way of ecluntary and charita:.le alms, for tie finding and keeping cf every ag , •ci. poor, and impotent person which was bo:n or dwelt three years within the same limit." It also contains provisions fur the prevention of begging and fur putting to service in husbandry and other crafts or Libetes. all children above five and under fourteen yeas. of age, who live in idleness and ate taken h.gg.ng. The te.Btii of Henry VIII. cap. 3, contains some very humane regulations tar the protection of apprentices against the exaction of fees. to which they had been subjected "by the Acts and Ordinances of divers w.:r.b:sis and fellowships, contrary to Die meaning of ait .Ict of the 19th of Hasty VII.; and also to pre. vent their being restrained by oath or bond front keeping er setting up any shop after the expiration of their appr...ticesitip." The 3d and 4th of Edward VI. relates to the pa hishment of :Nue: and vagabonds; revi,es the Sta• lute of 22J Hvury VIII. cap. 12. for the relief of impotent mad aged persons; and directs that maimed. sure, aged. ani intl.-item persons shall be relieved and cured, and habitations provided for them. by the devotion of good people of that city, town, or eila lege. where they were born, or had dwelt three years. The fich and 6th of Edward VII. cap. 2.. and the 2J and :JO of Philip and Mary, cap. 5. relate to the same object of lend; the latter providing a " re , witete A p;:r4i, is hot able to relieve the poor therein, and wlizie a town surchirgeJ with poor statish.th in or near two counties." Tile net.. Act whit n appears upon the Statute Book, is the 3d of Eliztbeth, cap. 3, which providts, that the poor and impotent persons of every parish shall be relived of that which every person will of their charity give weekly; and that the same relief shall be gathered in every parish by collectors signed. and weekly distributed to the poor; h r it( ne 01 them shall weedy gu or %it begging. And if any pal ishioiter shall obstinately refute to pay reasonably towards the relief ut the said poor. or shall Macon. rage others, then the Justices of the Peace at the Quattet Sessions may tax him to a reasonaole weekly sum, which, it he refuse to pay, they may commit him to pris en. And it any parish have :n it more impotent poor pereuus than they are able to reticrt, then the Justices oh tht• Peace of the county may 11. cruse so many of their, ..s they shall think good, to beg in One ur more hundreds of the Sallie County. The object at ais zict was probably to encourage pr;vate charity, by providing for its proper Jistrltt. n, as well as to pivvent begpintr, ti!lor by itine rants, or persons plating theniselv,s by the way.ei,'e to: that purpose. It is also the iirq Statute that is absolutely crtn pulsoty in respect to an assettment for the mitt of the poor. "Ibe vtry Fist tit-itute of the same year, the Mt Elizabrtli, c.ip. 4•, eutithd, " An Act coucaiuing divers O. dos for Aititicets, Labourers, St.ivants of Husbandry, and F ptchtices." relates to so great a valitty upon this subject, that your Committee wilt tacitly give an abstract of the pram. to of the Act itself. Ai'illUtiß,ll theft remain and stand in force pro sently, a peat number of statutes concerning the re. tainiug, depariing, was-s, and orders of apprentices, servants, and hioutners, as well in husbandry, as in Jivers other arts, mysteries, and occupations j yet eartly fur the itnpertectien and contrariety that is frond in sundry of the said laws, and for the variety and number of them, arid chiefly fur that the wages and allowances limited at.d rated in malty of the said Statutes are in divers ploces too small, and nut an. s.verable to this time, te-pecting the advantement of prices of all things belonging to the said xer7ants and labourers, the said laws cannot conveniently, witlioat tile great grict and burthert of the poor labourer and hired man, be put in good and due execution; and as the said. several Acts aod Statutes were at the time ot the making of them thought to be very good .m.l beneficial for the Commormealth of this Realm ( ts divers of them are), so it the subitance of as many of the said taws as are meet to be conchal: II shall :re digested and reduced into r.ne sole Low and Satrite, and in the same and nriqrrirr order presctibed limited concerning the wagei and other orders ler apprentices, servants, and Labourers, there is good hope that it will come to pass that tire same law (be ing duly executed) shalt banish idleness, advance husbandry, and yield unio the hired person, both in the time of acarcity and in the time of plenty, a con venient proportion 01 w:oge." The a...)te Act appe to to proceed upon the pre sumption that persons who timid find employment would earn sufficient for their support ; and the 4Sd of Elizabeth seas undoubtedly tor med upon the same basis; the c.oisetenpice of which would necessarily be that it was only such as cnrld nut find work them selves, that the parishes were obliged to-employ. The 181 h of Elizabeth gives power to the Justices in respect to the mothers and reputed fathers of bas tard children, who were to he charged with the weekly payment of money, or assist in providing of other susi.eination fur their relief and in detaalt thereof to be committed to the common gaol. It also contains prnvisiuns for the conveyance of rooes from one parish to another; for providing a stuck to set the poor on work in every city and town corporate; fur establishing Hon-es or Correction in every county ; and providing als:. that lands holden in socage, may during twenty yea's, he given towards the manic; 'lance of Boosts of C, tree:nun, and stock to the pour.
