'London Bridge Foot, 6cpt, 9, 1 820. Yesterday the• Members of the House Com mittee, appointed •by the General Committee, chosen for the service of the• Houseless Poor, waited upon the Governors of the London Work house, for the purpose of making some proposi tions to them, from which great advantage is ex pected to the - destitute during the winter. We rejoice that the benevolent views of the Commit, tee of the Houseless Poor have been so com pletely met by the, present. Governors of the London Workhouse, that nothing can be inferred from the event of yesterday, but the certainty that, by their united efforts, infinite good will be done. Amongst the Governors who attended at the Workhouse to receive the proposition of the Deputation from the Cemrnittee of the Homeless Poor, were— The Lord Mayor, who took the Chair, Alderman Wend, Mr. Wrigt►t, Mr. Dolly, Mr. Goss, and Mr. Pearce. Amongst the Deputation were Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Hick. Mr. HicK stated that he - waited upon the Go vernors in the name of the General Committee, to request that they would permit so much of the London Workhouse as could be spared to be appropriated to the use of the indigent and un protected, with whom the streets in this severe season began to abound. He represented, that such an application of the Workhouse was com patible with the Charter, and said, that the ex pense arising from dilapidation would be de frayed by the Committee for the Houseless Poor. The accommodation would be required for three months. The necessity' was extremely pressing, and Mr. I-lick hoped the Governors would not part without coming to a determination to co operate so far -with the Committee, who had done so much service to the community last year by the liberal course they had pursued. Mr. Hick took the opportunity to state, that if by the interference of those around him a consider able sum were raised to accomplish the desirable object of clearing the streets Of beggars during the severe season, an establishment -might rise,• and suddenly too, which would be likely to arrive at the character. which Christ's Hospital had attained amongst the institutions of the country. _ _ TheLonn MAYOR approved the 'suggestion of. the Committee, and pointed out various unte nanted parts of the workhouse, in which the un fortunate could be .placed without the slightest prejudice to the present system upon which the establishment was conducted. lie was of opi nion that the sum of 0,0001. or c 25,009/., a sum easily raised in London upon so pinching an emergency, would be of incalculable service (if applied judiciously) in atnelioratingthe condition of the poor. generally throughout the country.-- lie . considered that one 7. of the greatest causes of vagrancy W a..warit of WOrk; for the purPose of preventing whiCh Complaint he should. advise 'the •adoption of a plan similar'to . that upon which an old friend of his Mr. Jackson, one, of the over A A. seers of the parish Of St.',CatherineCree, had act ed. He would provide work' Whether that w•brk .proved to be matter of pecuniaisy advantage or not, and the: hosLof vagrants who bated. work would soon disappear, as they had done in. the case of his Vend, ivhen they found that without work -mg • for they could get nothing to eat., •The ,case ,to which his Lordship :41Inded was- as fol= .lows:—lly...lackson. was : considerably annoyed while he . waS overseer by solicitations from great hulking felloWs of the parish," who always- said. they 't., , ou 1 d ,ger : no: work. ," 11, n - ty poor men," be at length said, to some of them, " see_ and get yon, a little work." He then took the'm to the ch -y aijit ali'aVlretZttl4 tit*rifdi - up all the small loose stones that lay about and throw them into a corner. In a few hours all but one got tired and sculked off. He who remained cal culated upon the contrast between his conduct and that of those who had departed, and he actually staid for two or three days, in which time, with a very moderate exertion, which greatly increased his strength; he collected all the small stones into a corner. As soon as he had done; he went off to Mr. Jackson, who had paid him most'cheer fully, and said, he was once more at a loss for work. " Say you so, my . boor fellow," said mr. Jackson, " then *I must see what I. can do for you. Let me see—there is a sack—fill that with _stones from the corner, and* carry them off. to Bethnal-green, and make baste back for another sack." The vagrant proceeded upon his new employment with a very ill grace 'as soon as he got to Whitechapel Church he shot•the contents of his sack into the Church-yard, and swearing that he would never, as long as he live.d4, , b into a Church Yard again, walked off with the sack, and never was seen by Mr. Jackson more. This practice has been found an infallible cure for vagrancy is the parish of St. Catherine Cree. The celebrated Cook, the miser of Pentonville, knew.the lazy position of the beggars well, and drew much be:- netit from the knowledge. When any beggar man came to his gate, and complained of want of work, Cooke - sethim to dig the garden, but took care to watch from undera window lest he should. run off with the spade. After an hour or two's labour, the workman stuck the spade in the earth, and sneaked off. His place was soon sup plied by another, who had very •little inclination to labour, and thus Cooke managed to have his garden dug without being at a farthing expense. Alderman Woon strongly recommended to his brother Governors the propriety of acquiescing in the proposition of the. Committee ; after which The Treasurer (Sir W. Rawlins) having made no decided objection, the application was replied to in the affirmative, and leave was given to ap point a Committee to model the - Workhouse, and put in a proper plan for the reception of be ween 200 and 2,00 people. The Committee are to apply for similar ac commodation for the Poor at the Fast and \Vest ends of the town. We understand that in their arrangements for the temporary protection of the houseless, they are determined to guard agains the possibility of being burthened by those who are not in the most pressing state of necessity.— Bread and water will be administered to those who crave admission, and punishment will cer tainly be inflicted upon all' impostors.
