EMIGRANTS' AND HOUSEHOLDERS' PRO-
TECTIVE SOCIETY.
ESTABLISHED FEBRUARY, 1851.)
86, WATERLOO-ROAD, LIVERPOOL.
IT has long been a subject of public and private
complaint that nothing has been done to prevent the heart-
less frauds of which the Emigrant, on his arrival in this town,
is frequently the victim. It is admitted that the guilty parties
belong to no one class, and that, therefore, no one class can
completely remedy the evil; that cases of fraud are seldom
brought before the Police-court, though upwards of a hundred
and thirty thousand Emigrants sail yearly from this port ; and
that the guilty are persons without house, shop, char cter, or
rptga
honest occupation; hence the objection of th orporate
Authorities to the existence of a Public Erui ants' Home,
which they have over and over again d red, in Council,
would be the institution of a huge mon y, destructive to the
interests of a large and respectab class of Lodging-house
Keepers and Tradesmen in then end of the town.
In order, however, to secur r the Emigaant a comfortable
and cheap lodging during ' short stay in Liverpool, and to
protect him against all uds, the Emigrants' and House-
holders' Protective So ty has been formed. •
The system of m gement is as follows :—On the advice of
correspondents, Lodging-house Keeper meets the Emigrant
on his arrival, odges and provides for him in a moderate and
comfortable manner at 4d. per night.
The domestic regulations of the Lodging-houses are all
under the control and inspection of the Health Committee of
the Town, and are kept in the greatest order and regularity,
and the migrant frequently, during his short stay. meets and
enjoys the society of old neighbours. Luggage will be ticketed,
and have a seeure store free from charge, and for which the
members will hold themselves responsible.
It will be the duty of the Society to afford the Emigrant every
information which may facilitate his departure from the port;
to caution him against the danger of delaying in town, and of
thus falling into bad company, and of losing his money;
to warn him against pretended friends; to give him a list of
the most suitable articles of sea store; to secure him the best
and most airy berths on hoard ship; to give him letters of
recommendation to American Protective Societies; and to
furnish him, at cost price, with such American guide books
and other advice as will enable him to make the best selection
for his new home and occupation, when he reaches the other
side of the Atlantic.

The vast majority of Emigrants being Catholics, every
facility of attending to their spiritual duties will be afforded
them in the Catholic Churches of St. Mary, St. Augustine, and
St. Alban, each of which are only a few hundred yards from
the Northern Docks, and their temporary lodgings.
It has been found, from long experience, that the Emigrant,
gratified by such treatment, recommends his friends, who
follow him, to the protection of his Lodging-house Keeper.
Emigrants are particularly recommended, on their arrival,
to take no notice of any pe;son who may solicit them, unless
such person produce his card of membership from this Asso •
'dation, as the whole of the respectable honest Lodging-house
Keepers are members of it.

We, the undersigned, Roman Catholic Clergy of Liver Pool,
certify thus publicly, that in recommending to the Roman
Catholic Clergy of Ireland, and to Emigrants, Mr. Marshall's
Emigrants' Home, we did not intend to convey any censure
or condemnation whatever of the respectable and well-con-
ducted class of Emigrants' Lodging-houses now in existence in
this town, nor expect such an inference to be drawn ; but we
considered it would be the means of remedying some of the
existing evils in the Emigration business. We have read the
Rules and Regulations of the "Emigrants' and Householders'
Protective Society," established February, 1851, and believe it
has been instituted to remedy, and, if the regulations are
carried out, will remedy, mr.ny of the existing evils.

We, the Catholic Clergy of St. Augustine's Church, Liver-
pool, being in the habit of visiting the Emigrant Lodging-
houses of this neighbourhood, in the discharge of our spiritual
duties, find reason to believe that the greater part are honestly
conducted, and that fraud is very seldom attributed to the
Lodging-house Keepers.
We further certify, that we are personally acquainted with
many of the officers and members of the "Emigrants' and
Householders' Protective Society," and we can confidently
recommend them as men of integrity and honesty.
Rev. CHARLES COOK,
„ WILLIAM DAVEY.
I have read the rules of the "Protective Society" referred
to, and I feel bound to say that they are a most useful b '
--
and deserve the highest confidence
