assumption by the Poor Law Commissioners, at
some future time, of the uncontrolled management
of the local affairs of the entire kingdom as a settled
point.

Such being the case, we really think that a very
important matter has been neglected by Sir James
and his favourite trio. When setting about their
fresh division of the country into Poor Law arron-
dissements, how amazing that they never saw the
importance of connecting the whole together by a
network of railways, by which paupers could be
removed to their settlements for next to nothing,

the case might be. The stations, of course,. they
