THE COSTER—MONGERS AND THEIR GRIEVANcEs.—
Lad night a public meeting of costermongers was held in
the Nag's Head, Leather-lane, " for the purpose of consi-
dering the amendments of the Street Traffic Act, property
called the " Starvation Act." Mr. Cohen who occupied
the chair, said the amendment which had been introdued
into the act was scarcely any relief to the costermongers,
and he believed the effect of the measure would lc to
cause • great deal of starvation among those whom it
affected. Mr. Wall then moved that Sir Geo. Bowyer,
Lord Elcbo, Alderman Lusk, and the other members of
parliament who have recently voted in the interests of
the coatermongers, be written to and requested to become
patrons of " The Traders, General Dealers, and Street &I-
lers' Protection and Benefit Society." The resolution
was seconded by Mr. Milton, and unanimous'y
agreed to. The objects of the association as stated
in • circular which is being extensively circulated, are "to
unite the traders, general dealers, and street
sellers in • body; to protect the united interests of its
members when attacked; to defend them from unjust and
vexatious prosecutions ; to obtain the repeal of enactments
traught with injury to freedom of trade; to provide X
fund to loan to ha members so as to reader them lode
pendent of the extortionate loan lender ; and thus to
raise the position of all persons engaged in the calliap
before-mentioned, and keep many of them from the brink
of starvation to which they are exposed." Mr. Amon
addressed the meeting in en indignant speech, in which
be said that the costermongers were the most aimed
clan of the community, and that they were now com-
pletely left at the mercy of the " rascally palm." lie.
Osborne said that the coatermongers did more good for
society then half the shopkeepers, and that the convict
Lions for light weights *purist the latter in the south of
London, as compared with those brought home to the
former, were only in the proportion of 100 to 1.
