under a-fearful system of tyratmy, and he sinceree
hoped that the public would help them to raider
their grievances. (Hear, hear.) They had ellod

of their duties and a reduction in their ,p 1
and of the infernal system of driving. tlig
were treated more like galley-slaves told
men, and if he had only time to speak be ~clOO4
describe such a scone that would make the 4',481

something terrible would happen. Atthouglino
had waited frequently upon the commissions yeti
explain the memorial, they had received no ansre
and four men had been dismissed because theitbeit

and 10s. per week. Was that enough for illegeti

by stating that he would leave the case of tP„'df

Mr. SHAW, during the course of a long tau eteS,
complained of the system of promoting in.coniPeo !_vA
persons over the heads of men who had beralgA
years in the service, and also of the system co. P
out by the authorities in subjecting yoliffortr,
to the ordeal of the test letter by placing
tion in their way. As an instance of the Y;,e.t!A
which they were treated, he stated that a retropro
ble man, after 20 years' service, was once sr tass
and searched in the streets. As the po°
was innocent of any theft, the shame was 50

that he hanged himself. He concluded by' k
