Isoccen-orr PAUTeRe.—AA Me borough sessions on
Monday (this day) the Mayor (Mr. A. Pope) men-
tioned that be bad reosived two oomplainte of vagrants
In the street, and sleeping out at night. The first case
was that of a w man who appeared to have applied at
the County Police Station and obtaitied an order from
Supt. Betty for relief at nine on 'at and to have gone
to the Union Workhouse, where Me rang the bell five
times, hut could not obtsin admission. They were
found just before 11 in North-square without any
shelter 1. r the night. The other case was that of •
Tarrant who appeared to have obtained • ticket at
930 on the 612 and is mid to have applied to the work-
house, where be rang the bell 12 times, and on being
I refused admission he is reported by the superinten-
dent a. loitering about the street late at night. He
thought thee. mos ought to be brought before the
eroaratne. Here is a wirkhouse kept up by the rates
of the union, and yet these poor vagrants ham to stay
outside, and perhaps be frozen to death, unless they
are fortunate enough to arrive and apply before eight
o'clock. That, the Mayor thought, is an unreasonably
early hour to close the workhouse. When he bad the
first complaint on entering his Mice he was told his
predecessor bad paid for the lodgings in such cases;
but it was not his (the Mayor's) intention to do so, nor
should he do so now. The complaint, he thought,

the late mayoralty, when a vagrant, in order to obtain
• night's lodging, went and broke a lamp in South-
street that be might get locked up. The Mayor
directed that, report -hould be mot in order that the
matter might be brought before the Board of Guar.
