It appears to time, that in Adkins* to the hicrease of prostitutes, there is also a great increase of profligacy of Itialltlerd among that class of unfortunate females. In ad .to this, the major part of them derive a considerable portion of their subsistence by the robberyol.those who come in contact with them, of their watches and motley ; a fitSt proportioe ot them arc associated with thieves, who actually live with them, and who follow them in the streets, unit only to tutor theism ie the way „they are to commit robberies, by pulling out watches, money, &c. but also are near at hand, ready lowa* them when' they commit these robberies, in order to receive the booty and run off. To what circumstance do you attribute this in crease of profligacy?-1 certainly must attribute it to a deficiency_ in • 1 Lie l aws to did the polic e ; and a variety ot. other causes, the profiguey al parents, the total went of education, the want of means of putting them into repiounle serv i ce ,ate e h t the time they arrive,at a .certain age ; the i ot patents, leaving them destitute oephens, grow ing up, who have no resuerce but to go opun the town ; to a love of dress, amid to the seduetion'ot innocence. The netnertme fairs that arc held to afferent parts in and near the Metropolis, and in the villages rowel about, tend infinitely to the cor ruption of the murals of females, bud ultimately to (heir seduction. ‘Votild it be difficult, by directions given to the existing watchmen and pat roles, Mot perhaps by employing occasionally officers for that Jun ticvlar purpose, to prevent the misbehaviour ot:the pros titutes to the streets to a certain degree, its hold ing the language they doe end seizing people as they du ?—lt is not understood, accordieg to law; that a watchman can seize a prostitut e , .uhi ess she is in Soule shape disorderly ; it she. isrips oils, drunk, or diSturbitig the iteighbourhood, they are intiformly iestructed, :led by law they may then take them up us disorderly persons, aisd bring theca before the magistrates, which is very fre queetly done ; but what is the result ?
