fact that his speeches delivereiSbefore the °teeters of South

whets, comprise 59,91 S words, ur, allowing 2,000 words to
a column, something like 30 columns eine ewes, permatter.
In this calculation several addressee. of which copies were

THE CRIMINAL CLASSES AND TILE POSSIMILITY
or Exrisurtrinao uen.—A meeting of the Repression
of Crime Section of the Seidel Scieuce Assosiatien was
held at their rooms. in the Adelphi, un Monday evening,
Mr. lierjestit Cox, M.P., in the chair, at which a paper by
Mr. Edwin Bill was read and discussed, on " The
Criminal C 1186014 infecting our large town. ; their abso-
lute dependence upon the co-operation of certain
capitad.ste, and the consequent possibility of extinguish-
ing these chasms by compelling the withdrawal of such
ce-orcratimi." In peinting out that the predatory
claws, of the cotionuisity originated in the rudest state of
society. ondought to be repreeeed in an advanced state
of rivilisation, Mr. Hill quoted a few statistc• showing
among other calculations that about seven children ate
Loin every day, who seem destined to a dishonest
course of life, and that the class which they con-
tribute to swell, cost the country in the value
of lost property, and the machinery necessary to keep
tl.em in check, some ten millions a year. The derstistous
u; en the public are condactid under similar relators
between capital and labour to thole which govern indus-
trial pursuits. An.ong tie espitatsts are receivers of
stolen pro; erty, keepers of " flash houses," pawnbrokers,
• ; the labourers are the actual perpetrators of the
crimes that they encourage. Without the one the other
could have no existence, as is small towns and country
;daces, where receivers do not find it worth while to
carry on their business, there are no thieves, bourses are
left unprotected, and prop-sty generally is safe. In Kid-
dei miuster at one time ordinary property was airs, whilst
certsin materials used in weaving were constantly stolen,
these being bought by small weavers, whilst there
was no receiver of stolen property of' the ordinary
kind. In the absence of opportunity the tendency
to evil lies torpid ; and in dealing with t'ie
difficidty we should strike at the root, and attack the
capitalists who rnip!oy, rather than the labourers who
execute. Upon the principle he prepared that persons

end detected by tear, as in the Poet-office; also that a
check should be placed upon owners of house property.

NO suggested that householders should protect themselves
by the exposure of those among them who harboured bed
characters. The ; rotatory classes are suominfully excluded
from the model lodgMg -houses. A great deal of the evil
was traceable to the ehoitighted. selfish, or wanton care-
lessness of owners of house progeny. The meeting
was acti:ri seed by Mr. Tenni, Mr. Pares, Mr. P. 11. Hol-
land, Mr. C. Anstey, Mr. Rupert Potter, Mr. F. Hill,
Mr. Deputy Elliott, Mr. Webster, tI.C., Mr. H. G. Allen,
Mr. Hastings, and the chairman.
OPPOSITION TO TUB POOR-LAW BOARD tY Till

eteneexwiu. Hoses or Yesterday a
special meeting of the board of guardians of St. James's,
Clerkenwell, was called for the pewpose of considering
an order from the Poor-lair Board Joining the parishes of
Holborn, St. Luke, and St. James, Clerkeawell, forin-
firmary purposes. Mr. Partridge, chairman of the board,
.
presided, and there was a good attendance of guardians,
Mr. Memo said they should oppose the order olgtuhePOlr-
law board, as they were there to do the business of the
parish, and not to be dictated to by any board.
Ile moved that no action be taken upon the
order. Mr. Franklin asked them to consider
seriously before they agreed to the motion made by Mr.
Menet. He thought that it was desirable that thee should
agree to the order, as it would be beneficial to the parish.
He therefore would move M an amendment that they
should comply with the order and to the election
of the manager* for the infirmary. Mr. Pole)
seconded the amendment, r. Mance hoped they would
net become the tools of the Poor-law Board. lie denied
that the hoard had any power to call upon them to cast
an additional burden upon the ratepayers. nay
bad a wheel di,trist formed at the dictation of the
l'cor.law Board at an immense expense, and he held
that they could not, consiAently with their duty to the
pariibiouers, agree to this eider. The tactics of the
l'conlaw Board were dishoned, and all these attempts by
them to increase parochial rates wore great robs.
Le defied the Poor-law Board to act against the
wince et the guardians. Mr. Thomson. mnem.

oil 11 speeches acre delivered, strongly denouncing tho
policy of the Toor-law Board, and ultimately it was
Braced to oppose the order, end to request the sonstauce
of the other boards in the course they have pursued.
