EVICTIONS IN THE CITY.

A numerously-attended meeting, under the Os'
pees of the Evicted Tenants' Aid Association, NO°
held last evening in the mission-room, Fyefoet-
lane, Upper Thames-street, to consider the cases of
about a thousand working people about to be turned
out of their homes by the clearances needed for the
new street from the Mansion-house to Blackfriars•
The chair was taken by Mr. George Cruikshank'
vice-president of the association, who, with Mr. (1.
L. Banks, hon. secretary, Mr. T. Restieaux, and
other gentlemen, attended as a deputation fronl
that body. Mr. Banks said that the first question
which ought to be considered in a community 'OO
the household of a man—a question which had re'
ceived hitherto too little attention. During the
next two years 100,000 people were to be evicted,
and as many had been dispossessed of their houses
within the last 10 years. In the present case the
association had at once sent a gentleman to make
house to house visit, and from his report it appeared
that about 1,000 persons were to be evicted, sal
about 250 families. About one-fifth of these per-
sons were widows. In a few cases the occupiers
had been allowed to remain in their rooms free of
rent from the 25th of March last to the time of
actual eviction, which had been on the 11th April
for some, early in May for others, and at the enel,
of June for the rest. He detailed some cases 01
great hardship, and proposed a resolution to tile
effect that it was wrong in principle and. cruel W
evict the poor tenant without allowing him aeY
compensation. The resolution was seconded by th°
Rev. Mr. Taylor, who mentioned the case of a poor
man who, with his wife and five children, had bee°
earning a comfortable living until two years since'
when he had been forced from his home and the
connection he had formed. He had since bee°
struggling hard with poverty, and at his now more
advanced period of life had not been able to form a
fresh connection equal to that which he bad lost.
This case was but one of hundreds. The resolution
was carried unanimously. The Rev. Mr. Vigeon
moved the second resolution—That a committee b°
formed to collect a fund in aid of those evicted ob-
taining other houses. He said there were many
gifts in the parish, and it was doubtful how far sl
of these could be applied to . those who moved
beyond its boundary. The small tradesmen, be
said, would be great sufferers. The resolution wall
seconded by Mr. T. Restieaux, and passed. Ids'
Hargood moved that a deputation should wait ee
Sir John Thwaites to represent the case, and that
petition be presented to the House of Commons (3°
the subject. Mr. Bell seconded the resolution,
which was passed. Mr. Vigeon then asked those
who were about to be evicted to hold up their
hands, and the hands of nearly all present Were
raised. He then asked those who had been able te,
s
obtain house-room to raise their hands, and tl'elci
was responded to by seven. It further apnea
that one had found room in the neighbourhood
nearly double the old rent, and the others at varc,,'e
long distances, also at increased rentals.
meeting concluded with votes of thanks to.NL'a
Cruikshank, Mr. G. L. Banks, and the Pile°
Tenants' Aid Association.
