HAWKERS AND PEDLARS.

A HARD CAM
It two months ago, Joseph Benson, a journeyman.
►ker, having to support eight children, and a sick
,ho had•beeo confined thirteen weeks, and finding
ifficulty from the decrease of wages, to provide fur
family, conceived that he should better his con.
'he could make some shoes and carry them oat
, and that. he being the manufacturer, no license
be required of him to take as a Hawker and Peri-
He accordingly pawned as much of his furniture
clothes as he could ‘pare, and purchased some lea-
Mr. Darrard, of King-street, Southwark (who
gave bum credit for more) and employed himself
ight in making it up into shoes. Duriog tbe time
thus occupied, his family and he were led to
more than usual distress, but his work being
' and his hopes revived, off mat poor Benson, on
of June, into the County of Surrey. On his at-
. Mitcham, with his work, he was stopped, to his
.roation, by an informer, and, not having a Ihwk.
License, was handed over to the Constable of the

iagistratmon hearing the case, being unwilling to con-

lo attend before the Magistrates at Croydon, and
ingly appeared there on the 29th of June. He
leaded that as manufacturer of the article he ex-
'o sale, he was allowed to sell them, where he of-
tem, by the following clause of the Act, 50 Geo.

aithotanding the protection which the poor man
