EMPLOYMENT OF CONVICTS ON THE PUBLIC WORKS AT
CHATHAM.—During HsAe
separated into thediff rpact
eet gams, week severalhave betndr hundred
employedcon
v
in repairing the publio roads at C hatharo, under the
control of the Ordnance authorities. They appeared
strong, well fed, and able-bodied fellows, presenting a
striking coutra-t to the miserable creatures one often
sees crawling about looking for employment. The ap-
pearance of convicts at work in the atreeti has caused
some surprise, as some consider it an improper inter-.
ference with the labour market, more especially when
there are hundreds out of employment, and to wboni
anything in the shape of work would be a great boon.
If the authorities are at a loss to find employment for
the thousand convicts now confined at Chatham, let
them direct their attention to the embankment ofithe
Medway, a subject to which the attention of Parliament
has been called, and which, ere long, will become of
lerious importance if we wish to preserve in a ft onriNh.
ing condition the important naval establishment at Chat-
ham. Years ago it was predicted tbat unless something
were done to arrest the wearing away of the banks of
the Medway, that river would soon be closed to ships of
great draught, and each year seems to add strength to
that prediction. It is to be hoped that the attention of
the authorities may be aroused to the urgent necessity
of arresting the threatened calamity, and no more effre•
tual means can be devised than in employing the large
body of convicts now living in Comparative idleness at
Chatham in embanking the river on both aides from,
Chatham to Sheerness.—South Eastern Gazette.
