by Dr. Aldridge, he did not think it could be maintain*
especially in the winter. In hay time &ad harvest they
of OuIIZIPO got sa magi as possible out of their man; but
they Paid them well. In the winter mouths, however,

themselves. They could scarcely when hhing a labourer
my be musk beloag to a friendly society, although they
melt express • wish do that effect. The f&St was that
nue the Union Chargeability Act rains into operation the
labouring men would go to the parish much more this
they did before when their own parish kept thorn.
With respect to education, be was quite sertaiii that the
educatioa of children in parishes was in a peat measure
depeadent on the parents themselves, There was a
school in *my wish to which parents had an °ppm-
trinity of sending their children. There were also night
*dumb ; but, is theism, time, there were a great many
men who, having had no education themselves, did not
care about soy for their children. He said this, that it
was the fault of the parents that they did not °thumbs
their shlldres better than they'd°. Ls tor boys going
out to work before they ware ten years old, be believed
they were good for nothing—(applattee).
Dr. ALDILIDGE in reply to the observations on his
paper, first notised those with regard to the overwork-
ing of the labourer. He hid never stated in his lecture
that they were overworked. Haring lied some
experianee of the effects of continuous work smug the
agricaltural population, it had struck him oftentimes,
not that they do too moth work, but rather their work
was not equally divided, *spunkily as regarded plough-
' men. He kid seen where man had been taken from
their beds at elx and worked till two, without the
slightest roseible ceeration; that the effect on the tissues
was bad, and tended to promote disease. He had
thought Is right to note" that point. In Norfolk the
day was equally divided; persons went home for two
hours of rest and to take their meals, and then went on
to work again. He weld not lessen, the amount of
labour; he oily suggested the advisability of dividing
the eight hours' labour into periods of four hours nosh,
with two hours' rest for meal'. They all knew from
personal experlesee, when they went out partridge
siromliag ou the first of Seertenther, how desirable it was
to have lunch, and how thoroughly it enabled • own
I. go to work again with renewed vigur. It struck
that some such plan could be conveniently tarried
out sell was in other aunties. It heel worked well in
Beau and Norfolk. He thought it would be better
both for man and horse. He did not wish to intrude
his opinion, but it was his duty, in considering this
question, to make sub suggestion' as °purred to him
relative to the sanitary and physical audition of the
laboarlog poor. There was another question With
respect to homemade breed. He agreed with Mr.
Deep that tonneumile bread was infinitely peel wade la
the bread sold by the baker, whose object was to make it
AI white as possible by thelintroduction of deleterious
Ingredients, no doubt eacrifiaing the nutritious particles. I
Rome-made bread was infinitely preferable, bemuse it
contained • portion of the bran, which helped digestion,
and made the bread more nutritiotu. He had sun the
bread the poor angle had, and it wee of • different
deuription; it we. made of pinched corn—he fearlessly
made use of the word "pinched corn." He knew that
the poor had been supplied with it; it wag Immature
urn that had run through the save ; it was like the
" third roe" in a brewery. He thought it was unwise
and prejadieial iu emery way that this should be so, for
the nutriment of the poor so much depended upon the
bread they eat. As to meat, Hr. Homer said they had
seat all the year at kiartinetown—be suspected that
Martiastown was an exception to the sown' rule.
1 (Laughter.) He did not me it in his rounds. If the
' poor had meet it was not the moat nutrition'. They
usually had pork, which was about the wont sort od
meet they could have. Therefore he urged open
employers the Daemon ty of their labourers being supplied
with the bast possible wheat, whereby the best possible
breed solid be made. Ile believed the audition of the
agricultural labourer in Dereetahlre had been grimily
miereprennted; be believed the labourer was not worse
off here than in other «rutin. The question of
perquisites had been already mooted, aed the public

The Vice-Petinnuerr said they knew the illlPOriallee

riottages, but it remained with them to we the beet
means at their divoaal to make those that were built as
suitable as possible. He took exception to Dr. Aldridge%
remark, on the agricultural labourer being overworked.
His boars of labour were not long, and his work was
not excessive. There certainly were seaums when extra
exertions IMO necessary to save the crops which
Providence bestowed, but on ordinuy oeusions the
labourer began his work at six, and a:inducted till eight,
when be got his breakfast, end then worked as hard as
he could until eleven, at which time be had halfoishour
for the refreshment he needed. From one to two be
had another boor. Then came the most trying period
of the day when the run VMS 'billing hot. He WY
worked until four or half-put four, when he got his
" nammut" or second hush, after which he was enabled
to go on as long as the san allowed hint. H. worked
till sunset and no longer, so that, supproing hi day was
14 hours' long, he had two hours it toast for refreshment
and re-Invigorating his frame. He did not think that
was excessive labour, and did not believe the Factory
Act was at all required for the ogricolturallahourer—

doing two genius a-day, and for himself he would
prefer pitching wheat sheaus—(limOter). The next
point he would venture to nuke an observation on wee
that of education. livery reasonable man must be in
favour of a certalts amount of education for thou be
employed ; a pertain degree of edrmatirre was indispens-
able to render a man useful, but it was not wise to
educate • man above his station. The drudgery of bone
and muscle could not be thrown aside, and if • man was
eduated above his position he would think be *mild do
better than snaintainiAidalinuelf by the work of his hands.
He trusted Dr. 'e able lecture would be read
attentirely by the weer, and occupiers in this
minty, and that mush good would be derived from it.
Mr. H. Dann quite agreed with Dr. Aldridge in his
remarks on the allotmeet question, which he could not

good to the agricultural labourer, is it made a man
more respectable In every *ease of the word, end, within
