as apprentices, where =asters or mistresses were
legally liable to provide food for their sustenance, to enforce
such liability under penakitei, the same as were in tone
with refer, nee to infants of tendsr ?ears; and, further,
with regard to the offence of committing an assault on any
I young person, such as to injure health or endanger life, ,
without legal justification, the bill provided that such a !
ease was one in which a court of justice might pronounce a
sentence of imprisonment for a long t.rm, and accompany ,
that imprisonment with hard labour. The second clause
provided for the costs of prosecution being given in every
ease which was a proper one for the award of costs. Ile
(Mr. Haines) thought that such a discretionary power as
this clause afforded was very desirable. 'There was
another evil in the present state of the law which
hail struck him very much in the course of
discharging the duties which he had been fulfilling.
When a person had been hired out of a workhouse, or I
was apprenticed by the guardians, there was no pmvision
now that care should lie taken of him after he had once
been hired or been apprenticed. lie did nut mean to say
that any legislation could make that provision, but he did
say that until a person had arrived at 18 veoirs of age and so
long as he should he within the union where he had been
hired, or by the guardians of which he had been appren-
ticed, it should be the business of the guardians to have
periodical visits paid to that person by some officer of theirs
not kit than four times a year, whose duty it should
be to report to the guardians if he found that the
young person was subjected to cruel conduct. He
was glad to say that that hint was given to him
by the voluntary practice of three unions. This very rule
was adopted at Oldham, in Lancashire, at Nantwieh, in
Cheshire, and at Market Drayton, in Northamptonshire.
There was yet another defect in the law. At present, when
a poor person had received an injury, it was extremely
doubtful whether the guardians had the power to prose-
cute; and when the Poor-law Board had the question put
to them whether the union could prosecute in the ease of
the Sloane., there was very great doubt about it whether
the law would allow it. "In the cases of injury to pour
persons under 18 years of age, if the magistrate before
whom the case was brought thought that, under the cir-
cumstances, a prosecution should he undertaken, he pro-
posed to give him power to call on the guardians to institute
a prosecution, the expenses to be borne out Of the poor
rates; that was, in CcO4, where no provision was made of
another description. 'f he right hon. gentleman concluded
by moving that the bill he read a second time.
Mr. HENLEY quite agreed with every word that had
fallen from the right hon. gentleman, hut he had doubts
whether some of the provisions of the hill ousel not to be
general. The obligation of providing food and clothing must,
of course, he confined to master and servant ; but, in the rose
of maliciously assaulting young persons so as tc injure their
health, he did not see why the law should no: be general.
So also with regard to the third clause, whirl he thought
too limited in its operation. On all other matters he fully
agreed with the bill, and he thought they were all indebted
to the right hon. gentleman for bringing it h.
After a few words from Colonel leswoos and Sir J.
Ductiwoigrit the hill was read a second time.
