GUILDHALL.
INHUMANITY 'OF PARISH OvricEns.--!..Donahl, the '
beadle of Cripplegate appeared yesterdil on the behalf oNir
overseers of that parish,i to answer the compinint of Eli— a-
vian, a decent-looking female, for refusing to relieve her.
The young woman stated, that she and her huehund had
lbied some years in the parish, and that her husthing tband becom-
ing.ill a few days ago, and unable to earn any owards
their support, she applied to the overseers for a little tenporary
relief. She was introduced to the Parochial ConinutteA
On
Thursday, but was disvpissed by them without nny assistance,
and with the observation that " as her husband got ill be must ,
get well again." •
Donald replied to the charge, that the woman should not
merely have left " the Magistrate's summons on Saturday, but
she should have obtained an interview with the relieving over-
seer, and then there might have been no necessity for attending
here to-day.
Mr. Alderman Bnows—l never sit in this chair but I have
to complain of, the gross inhumanity of overseers towards the
poor of the different parishes. The treatment of this poor
woman is excessively disgraceful to the parish of Cripplegate,
and I do nut care how publicly this opinion of mine is known.
It is shameful that in a city like this, respectable persona can:
not be found in the several parishes to discharge the duties of
overseer in person,
.but that it may be deputed to hitelings like
you, who quibble and trifle with the most pressing want. Let
the necessary steps be taken to make a' peremptory order upon
this parith.
Donald immediately, slipped is. 64. into the woman's hand,
and said, " I have relieved her, your Worship ;" but the Al.
derman .nevertheless signed the sumnions, in order that the
overseers may be kept to their duty. - .
