• THE WORKHOUSES AND THE CASUAL
POOR.

SPORTING INTBIZIORNCE.

The recent discussions concerning the proceedings
at the metropolitan workhouses have already borne
fruit. The labohr-test has during the last few
days, and.vrill be for the future, uniformly enforced
at Marylebone, and there has been bat one case of
clothes-tearing since the conviction of the fifteen
vagabonds last Monday. The parish board has
promptly detetmined on increasing its casual
accommodation, and a spacious building in the
workhouse-yard will be forthwith fitted up as
extra sleeping and working wards for wayfarers
and wanderers. Fifty more males and fifty more
females will be provided for than the certified
wards would hold, and credit must be given to
those concerned for the concession implied. It is
noteworthy moreover that the Marylebone work-
house authorities are in this instance doing more
than act up to the bare letter of the law. The size
of casual wards and the number they were bound to
hold has necessarily never been defined. The
minute of the Poor-law Board runs thus :—" It is
the duty of the relieving officer also, in every case
of sudden or urgent necessity, to relieve every
destitute applicant, either by offering admission
to the workhouse, or providing, so tar as practicable,
all such necessaries as may be actually requisite,
without reference to the time of application or to
the place where the pauper has last slept. The
board are desirous of impresaing upon boards of
guardians the importance of giving special dire°.
tions to the master and matron of the workhouse,
and also to the porter, that whenever the workhouse
or vagrant war& are full, they should be extremely
careful to inform all applicants for admission of the
residence of the relieving officer. in order that the
requisite relief may be supplied by him. Printed
ticketa,with the name and residence of the relieving
officer, should be provided and delivered in such
applicant the master, matron, or porter to every
If the applications are likely to be very
numerous, and to interfere with the ordinary duties
of the relieving officer, or to require much attention
from him in the night, an &militant relieving officer
should be appoint to attend to these cases exclu-

lively." --
The spirit of the foregoing extract is obvious
enough. Yet under existing, circumstances its in-
structions might in some parishes be obeyed to the
letter, and the easing pauper. at the same time be
kept out in the streets, or unjustly passed on to an
adjacent parish. It would be unfair to single out
one relieving officer, and by making him
the seeps-goat, show how the law may be
nullified by the circumstance of residence. It is
sufficient to remark that as nothing is
said as to the whereabouts of this official's private
house, or its distance from the workhouse, a
printed ticket to a starving houseless applicant may
easily be wavered into a mockery and a snare. In
these railway days it is quite possible for a pariah
officer to live out of town and discharge his pre-
scribed day duties in regular office hours, and we
speak within our own knowledge when we say that
there are mats where the printed tioket would have
to be carried miles before the destitute wanderer
could even show it the person from whom he is
entitled to relief. As a matter of course to tall a
famishing wretch at midnight that the wards are
full, and at the same time to politely band him a
printed ticket addressed Camberwell or Kensington,
is as palpable an evasion of the law as to slam the
door in his face without inquiry ; and where prac-
ticable it is certainly wiser and more humane to
admit destitute applicatta at once than topaas them
on elsewhere. The Marylebone guardians have, at
some sacrifice of space, decided upon thin course,
and we have the workhouse master's assurance that
should the new wards on any one occasion be found
inadequate, he will under no circumstances re-
fuse admission or withhold the labour test. The
number °lberia willhave been so largely augmented
that it is fair to suppose they will suffice for all
claims upoa the workhouse, but temporary shake-
downs will also be provided if the run upon Mary-
lobo°e exceeds what is anticipated.
While touching on this subject it is only fair to
say that the Bermondsey guardians are not advo-
cates of the bath-test, and that the questions asked
by one of their number at the last meeting were
prompted rather by a desire to withhold than to
enforce it. In the second annual report of the
Poor-law Board this bath-test is spoken of as "a
ready, an inexpensive, and wholesome test of des-
titution," and figures are given which conclusively
prove its unpopularity with vagrants. In the year
3549 it was decided in the midland counties to
cleanse and search all wayfarers seeking a night's
shelter. The result was in the county of Derby an
immediate decrease in the number of applicants of
79 per cent. as compared with the preceding year ;
in the county of Nottingham a decrease of 92 per
cent. ; in the county of Lincoln a decrease of 80
per cant. ; in the county of Stafford a decrease of
72 per cent. ; and in the East Riding of Yorkshire
a decrease of 83 per cent. It is not wonderful,
therefore, that the bath should be popular with
those interested in the suppression of vagrancy.
This teat was counselled by the Poor-law Board
when the Rouseleas Poor Act was first paned—
partly, perhaps, out of deference to the fears of the
guardians, who dreaded being overrun by casuals.
Its chief danger lies in the discretionary power it
places in the hands of workhouse officials ; for,
given a cruel or tyrannical superintendent, and
what so easy as by a sudden dash of cold water to
inflict capricious punishment. It is unnecessary,
however, at this time to open a discussion as to the
propriety or impropriety of the test. We have seen
it administered in various workhouse*, and have
privately cross-questioned many casuals, and in
every instance, as at Marylebone, there has been no
more harshness in its infliction than is inseparable
from a compulsory wash. But uniformity of treat-
ment should be insisted on. To have bathing in
one workhouse and continued dirt in another ; to
have different degrees of comfort in the sleeping
accommodation, and different quantities and
qualities of food supplied, is to give the new act
anything but fair play.

to 103; in nautical astronomy from 70 to 82 ; in steam
from 63 to 76; and io physical geography from
70 to 121. In five of the subject' there has been
a slight decrease, viz., in acoustics, light, and heat,
from 253 to 244; in organic chemistr7 from 142 to
139 ; in mioeraloiy from 28 to 19 ; in systematic botany
from 70 to 33; and in minims from 22 to 15. The

building. Four angina, including the sew hydraulic fire
main attached to the moans. operated against the flames,
which were spreading with alarming rapidity. The upper
floor contained hemp, which from its combustible nature
added much to the vigour of the fire, and the tailed

The functionary to (pushers. we are informed, has two eons,

employed in this country for some years, one as a cooper,
and the other as a labourer, in a large vinegar manufactory.
They are both married men. with young children. They
have one sister, also married, and these constitute the
entire family. It It, therefore, impossible that any member
of this Interesting household can he in the Indian Civil
Service, eves if the pecuniary circumstances of the father—
whew sole regular stipend is • guinea • week from the Oar.

for each execution—would admit of his giving them the

may here observe that we never declared our belief that the
son or wee of the haegroso were in the Indian Civil Service,
nor, in the event of their belonging to that body, wished to
remove them from it. We said just what the Spectator
said after us, that such en event must be accepted as •
logical cotiaequeees of the competition system, but we added
that it was not likely to be satisfactory to the members of

EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OT A ROMAN CATHOLIC
litanor.—The Belfast Newt Letter publishes an extraordi-
nary document which bac been addressed by the Rev. Dr.
DOITIIII. oosdjattor Roman catholic bishop of that district,
to the shareholders of the Belled Catholic Institute
(Limited). Some years ago the institute was established by
the subscriptions of • number of period, varying from five
to fire hundred maids. The company wee fortunate
eseagh to procure on cheap terms a valuable property in
fleroules-plaos. Some twelve or fifteen months ago the
Provincial Banking Oompany requirio g a site for a new bank,
purchased • large portion of the holding of the institute on
each terms, it is believed, as left the company in a prosper-
ous ihmeciel condition. There wee money applicable for •
dividend, bat Dr. Dorrian stepped in, and having, it is be-
lined, five pounds' worth of shares in the concern, assumed
the position of dictator. We believe, says the Belfast
News that Dr. Donisn required the profits of the
women to be devoted to purely ecoWsentical pur-
, and the terms of hie own letter con-
=this view. At all events, he submitted • series of
resolutions on the 13th of April last, which were pro.
nowesed by some of the shareholders as involving a ainfloca.
Soo of the property ; and Dr. Dorrian only argues that
they did not involve such ooeSseation, because he "feels
sure that the majority of the original shareholders did not
think of making money, bat wished to make the institution
a permanent possession for catholic purposes." On Holy
Thursday night last the votes were taken. Dr. Dorian
, himself remained in the room to scrutinise them, and he
I wee beat*. The shareholders declined to be dictated to as
to the management and disposition of their propertc);orrait,
now, after months of bickering aid negotietions, Dr.
bee kilted the document in question, in which four con.
: ditiona are laid down which are essential, he says, to his
sanction being given to the institute. These are as follows :
" 1. The approval by the bishop of snob articles of media-
tion ea he shall judge satisfactory, sod their adoption as
the basis of any new company to be formed.. 2. The same
right, on the part of the bishop, of approving the rules of ,
management of lecture-hall, library, and news-room. 3. A
veto by the bishop on any member acting on the Directory,
whose morals, religious principles, and habits of life, the
bishop may object to. 4. The approval by the bishop, or
one appointed by him, of all books sod einrsnepen to be
admitted for reading into news-room or library the
like approval of any lecturer to be invited to leottre for
the members." The penalty against the members in the
case of nonmomplience is as follows "If the conditkies
be not made the beets of the institute, I shall consider
it my duty to debar from moranareta all sod every ono
