Addressed to you, in the year 1619, on the subject of e. • ? ; • - .....41w-Postr Laws, lam induced, bsiefly, to address you Awe.- • again, for the purpose of submitting a few observations • on the BM now under the consideration of Parliament, - fur their intendment : the importance of the subject is univostily acknowledged. The Hill proposer, first, to fix a maximum, which ‘'.!, • the Poor-rate, In future, must not be allowed to ex ceed. Secondly, to confine all parochial aid, except. ing to the old and impotent, to those who arc map' rierl at the time of passing the proposed act; so that the labourer, who shall be then unmarried, will nit have any future claim to employment from the parish, il any case, however di•dressing ; neither will the pari.li, nor the Magistrates, be able to assist him, in any degree, in the support of his family, however bar. . • thensanie it may heroine. The third proposal is, to prevent the gaining a tet•lement by the birth of the 4.4 1 .r 4:-- in•lividual, or from the settlement of his fattier. p The Co a t jo ni al it i t i e u e oni o . f w f i h d e rh t: y o a u s s c e o o n f re C ss o r i d nm iy o s n n s g , c in es t te h d e het Parliament. in their Report on the Poor Laws, ..e. , .. -alp ~ .....;.. •.. .. MA* provisions in various local acts, in SO .- . the assessment was thus limited. They, how -:.lreer, very fairly apprised the House, that it was thought necessary by the Legislature, in the year 1;95, to :w -here these parishes from the obligation of this clause, " by reason, (as it is stated) of the late very great in • crease in the price of corn, and other necessary articles i of life." This may, perhaps, he considered as a fair I , eveitnen of what would happen to the whole eo.nueinite, if a maximum were to be fixed ; for it may safely be affirmed, I believe, without any 'lan ' ger of experience contradicting the assertion, that 1 o mailroom can be named that wun'd not, in a few years, call for relaxation in some part of the nation 'or wi r e ; ma d a m a simarn, not unalterably fixed, ' seonl.l eosin become useless, or worse than useless. It is stated that the value of money is now determined, and that therafeee the Poor rate of the last year is a proper ',WIN liir a maximum: it is, how ever , we ll knows; - 4at the virtue of money cannot be fixed ; but that it Will vary like that of all other commodities ; • and beetles the vast fluctuation that the currency of • tie country has undergone during the last few years, it is notoriou4 that money has greatly decreas ed in value in the past century. The price of corn and other necessarie4 of life, also, varies perpetually . ; and in times of scarcity, the poor, as well as others, . will require more m one y t o purc h ase f oo d ; n g therefore, in a time of s carc i t y, a ll t h e mon ey by the maximum, to have been expended ki three quarters of the year; either the maximum must be dispensed with, or the poor (the aged and impotent) would endure incalculable dis tress. But the most powerful objection to a max imum, probably, is the excessive inequality that will inevitably take place, in different parishes, in the coarse ea very few years. Suppose the &meant of the Poor -rate, as a maximum, to have been fixed fifty, or sixty years ago. in an agricultural parish in bent, where Do snaaufacture has since been Introduced, and, at the same time, in another parish, in Lancashire, in fttieb a part of the great town of Manchester has slate lowa built. The am eat of the rate, at the time ' orligiag. the maims, alight bare lota awl ; but .. , ..,., . ;S: •.- ..*Nw a ilk %oat • • •• • . ;*ftl't 1. •ir yiv a , ....ksyx 41 !t. etiii pplow OttXl4 , i"PalttM mit teal, to lupe pia are startled at e Kite of pask 'the net; es thht no mai rid obeli tie that Per l 4 4 loarelalits any ataistama-lassn o the.lo, for want of employment, or op aecoteni . of • bonbon , ' souse t hope Mr. Cotttrlfifylvill not (.04.ft, the jest oirservatfous that Me &ode pamphl4W. the Pooplaws,—" that In pohft of expediency, 1114 1 Mora frellag, perhap• no indirldail has a itrootifif l claim' upon the publie, tn.:- he who, without nail fault of his own, or improvidence in his patents, finds himself without the means of attaining, in his own conniry, the food which he is nhle and winks' to earn by labour." This position cannot be controverted, althottgl there is an man, who hat been conversant with the calls of the labouring claims., upon their parishes for employment, who must not be sensible of the manifold evils, that rank from them : and 'vary friend to the labouring classes, and to the community at large, woad rejoice to see any seasonable remedy applied to them ; but this remedy shout.' he short of obsolete prohibition ; fur, I ass configlent that the depriving , the labourer, altogether, of this resource, would, under certain circumstances, such, fur instance, as we Bevel r• lately experienced, generate a greater mass of misery, than has ever yet been felt in this'countrys. Perhaps a general prohibition, together with a powei in ex- treme cases, to make a temporary rate, nutlet the sanction of the Magistrates, for the express purpose of 'employing the superaunsera7y labourer., might be a means of averting. the eviii-'anci also of preventing the remedy from becoming a more severe indiction than the disease itself. The money raised by this rate should be spent in remunerating such pers.ms as would undertake to employ the labourers at low wales ; those who employed no extra labourers receiving no part of it ; by which means the barthen would fall with nearly equal weight upon all the contributor!. The third proposal is, to do kway removals so far as they relate to settlements by birth or parentage, with the exception of paupers, not being English. The Law of Settlement is, in many eas a, so oppressive, and leads tii so much litigation and expense, that numbers of intelligent persons are desirous that it should be repealed altogether. The great objection to this measure is, that it would brim back the evil, to obviate which, was one motive of the .%rt ot . Eliza belle being passed : namely, to prevent vagraur7—the . wandering about of the poor firm] one ;wish to An other. But any llletiation of the acknowledged evils that originate in the Law of Settlement, would be thankfully received by a great majority of the com munity : and the proposed repeal of settlement by birth and parent atr e is well calculated to remove a part of the grievance: possibly, however. in addition to the exception to paupers not being English, an other exception ought to be made with regard to such paupers, as are committed to the Mouse of Vorrectloa by Magistrates, to he passed to their respective pa rishes; because great numbers of these are persons who have served as soldiers or sailors, and havit he fluently no settlement excepting by birth or by the settigniest of their parents. If settlement by kink therefor, revs repraleiL relative to these men, ti r would hsnikeis legal settlement witatever, and world of necessity, when relieved from prison, become vagrants. it does not appear that any further improvement in the Law of Settlement is projected, than by the repeal of that part of it, %dada relates to settlement by birth and parentage. But I would venture to suggest that some altera ion fur the better might be made in the law, respecting settlement by seirire. At present it is well known what litigation is caused by the Act re quiring hitiorg for a year, and serrire for a year. To the suggestion of ter sling the word hi, iv, and mak ing servire for a yell' alone, necessary to gain a set• element, 1 have nevrr heard any valid or very import ant objection —Bat shonlif this he disapproted, it would donhtless prevent much litigation, if it were enacted that service for a year, and wages, received for a year's service, should entitle the servant to a settle ment, although hr may hare been taken us trio!, and the bargain not made, until after he hail been, during 1 same weeks, in the service of his master.—Certainly, on the principle of the law, this man has obtained as good a title to a residence in the parish, as if he had been hired fur a year, and had made his bargain pre vious to the commencement of hi* service. Deeply impressed with this interesting subject, upon the due management of which the comfort both of the rich and poor in a great measure depends, I have taken tl.e liberty of troubling you with Ilse above ob servations, upon the pr.rposed . Act, for the amentinfent of the Poor Laws ; sod I remain, dear Sir, your faith ful servant, ROBERT WALKER. To • • —._--, q . P . II • A maximum therefore.

IRISH HOSPIT.MITY, 1177'11 4 CC RIM' IRIS!! CUSTOM. TO THE EDITOR OF TIIE STATESILiN.

In London casual leg ttaintance instantly begets some selfish *involution, and generally ends either in the perpetration of an in jnry, or the vengeance of the disappointed speculator who Isa 4 probably given a scanty dinner or a mise rable cup of tea to his new acquaintance to forward his views, and out of which be considers himself' eiraird, when his •elfish purpose does not succeed. As to your " day book" and " !e !ger" acquai►►tances " Dinner debtor to dinner," 4' tea debtor to tea," those are transactions altogether unknown in the land of Saint Patrick. Amongst the many singular custom which hos pitality has created in Ireland, is tiA,Nowing, which must appear to a London reader like falsehood or romance. When a pauper is a cripple, or is so ol►l, or an diseas►dd as not to be able to walk in pursuit a subsistence, some respectable person, who is not able Iss undertake the entire charge •f this creature, eiths* builds or purcha'es f•r him or her a coach of chaise, such as we see children drawn in in London, but of very humble material,. When this object starts on its circiii; in the morning, the person with whom it bad botel'd the former night draws it to the nest house, no matter how distant, knocks at the door and then returns. When this creature is relieved or answered, it is considered as the bounden duty of that house So forward the carriage on to the, next, and so from Ism to house, as from stage, to stage, posts this fort unfortunate in its Ulrie carriage, drawn by hymn posies. This, no doubt, would be considered as a most BARRAIOnII teillnige in the ring at Hyde Park I write as an inquisitive traveller whose duty it is to reveal what he has seen and mut %ilk I will. write in NATIOXAL PARTIALITY, set ltedishonest indulge in national prejudice.
