Kr. Tyrwhitt resolved the following letter 66,
Clowerotreet, Bedfordoquare.-81r, I have noticed an ex-
posure of the practices of & certain place, 96, Regett-etrwet,
called employment offica,' and request publicity to be
given to the followiag facts, which in my professional capa-
city have come wider my notice :—A widow (residing near
Torrington-square) of a professional gentleman, lately de-
ceased, desired to place her daughter out as governess.
Seeing an advertisement she applied to thews otßoee, and
under the most alluring promises of a good situation beleg
speedily obtained—in fact, • mow wee stated to be open,
and, from the numerous applications, • premium was re-
quired for the address, and which the widow paid for only
to learn that the so-called vacancy was • fiction, and the
address given could not be found is one instance, whilst
in soother the family was away on the Continmt,
and had been for some three months, so that this poor
lady has been defrauded in the most hoarders manner of
three guineas, her hopes excited by promisee being held
out, of which there was sot even the slightest prospect of
realiastion, and whoa she goes to complain meet& with the
same cool audacious =solemn as I am informed the officer
from your court received on being sent by you to =mos.
'trate with the parties connected with the offices. Surely
for the protection of those who most need our help and
command oar sympathy something con be done to put
others on their guard, and the best way to do this is the
exposure in the public prem. I =tech my name to this
letter, and will be responsible for its publication. The
letters, receipts, and papers, an in my possession, and the
facts I can vouch for. They are not exaggerated, and cos.
trey but a poor idea of the misery such heartless scoundrels
create. Your obedient 'errant, Joan P. Ssuirtsmt,

citor, conducted the prosecution ; sod Mr. Churls Young,
