EVICTIONS IN THE CITY.

A numerously-attended meeting, under the aus-
pices of the Evicted Tenants' Aid Association, was
held last evening in the mission-room, Fyefont;
lane, Upper Thames-street, to consider the cases
about a thousand working people about to be turn°
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. urci
L. Banks, hon. secretary, Mr. T. Restieaux, an
other gentlemen, attended as a deputation fro°
that body. Mr. Banks said that the first question
which ought to be considered in a community One
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 bongs
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 appear;
that about 1,000 persons were to be evicted, skY
about 250 families. About one-fifth of these per'
sons were widows. In a few cases the occupll
had been allowed to remain in their rooms free n
rent from the 25th of March last to the time of
actual eviction, which had been on the 11th APri,
for some, early in May for others, and at the en
'i
of June for the rest. He detailed some cases
great hardship, and proposed a resolution to the
effect that it was wrong in principle and cruel
evict the poor tenant without allowing him an/
compensation. The resolution was seconded by the
Rev. Mr. Taylor, who mentioned the case of a pof
man who, with his wife and five children, had been
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 been
struggling hard with poverty, and at his now inntf,
advanced period of life had not been able to forin
fresh connection equal to that which he bad o'4'
This case was but one of hundreds. The resolution
was carried unanimously. The Rev. Mr. Vigeon
moved the second resolution—That a committee
formed to collect a fund in aid of those evicted °I/
taining other houses. He said there were man)
gifts in the parish, and it was doubtful how far and
of these could be applied to those who mot,
beyond its boundary. The small tradesmen, Po
said, would be great sufferers. The resolution Wnt
seconded by Mr. T. Restieaux, and passed. 140.
Ilargood moved that a deputation should wait et" a
Sir John Thwaites to represent the case, and that
petition be presented to the House of Commons °
the subject. Mr. Bell seconded the resolution;
which was passed. Mr. Vigeon then asked th°ls.r
who were about to be evicted to hold up theio
hands, and the hands of nearly all present Wero
raised. He then asked those who had been able is
obtain house-room to raise their hands, and ej
was responded to by seven. it further apPenf at
that one had found room in the neighbourhood ue
nearly double the old rent, and the others at Yntrifbe
long distances, also at increased rentals. ,fr,
meeting concluded with votes of thanks to. to
Cruikshank, Mr. G. L. Banks, and the BYl°
Tenants' Aid Association.
