MENDICITY IN lug METROPOLIS.

The Report of the Select Committee of the
Hoase.of Commons, appointed to inqaire into the
state of the Mendicity in the Metropolis and its
iturnediate neighbourhood, and to Which the 14-
port of the last Sessiop was submitted, was issued
on Thursday night
After adverting to the principal (nets in the Re-
Dort .of the I.lth of July, the Committee observe,
that mach inconvenience appears to have arisen
front. the want:of uniformity In the 'eonduct of
Magistrates, Some putting the laws in execution
More vigorously than the others. In the evidence
taken before the Comthiftee the present Sesiion,
•Mr. 'Nance, the. Magistrate, mentions that the
state of Mendiclty 'in the Borough is consi-
derably diininishetl, and scarce a beggar is now
seen hi consequence 'of the vigi-
lance 'of the articers.—Sir•Nathaniel Conant, re-,
lying on the_l7th George 4. thinks'the town

but i'n that Cafe,. they would be let loose on the
