,LoYmEsr FOlt TILE POOR.

On Thursday, a Vestry Meeting was held by the in-
habitants of Leeds, to take Alto rolviitleratic,ii the
propriety of empowering the Chttrehwardrns and Over-
seers of this township to rent to rim• acres of lau I, fir
the employmeut of the pour ; ur to relet it to them, for
that purpose."
'UNIT Mau.. Esti was railed to the ('hair, and Mr.
AWOOD opened the bu•iIIPSS by stating. that utt the 7th
of July last, the guarai.s its of the poor in this township,
appointed a pull - immiitt e to inquire iato the poesy:it
increase of pauperism, with a view to check its growth.
This Committee had made a re•,,ort, a hich bad already
been published, and the result of all their inquiries was,
that the last anti only source of employment was the
cul;ivation of the soil. From this appointment also
gaittatesl Ake ileot!tation to New Lanark, and one of the
results of that mission has been the separation of the
n children, in tlr workhouse. .luau the coutaini-
uating influence aidair. fataaa hass.c.lose a confect with

life. This alteration, though not completed, is now in
se, and Its beneficial effects will no doubt he felt,
jib rjib respect to the cultivation of the soil, Parliament
has granted a power to townships to rent or purchase
Wad, to the amount of twenty acres, for the employ-
ment of their poor, and this quantity, though small
*hen considered with relation to the extent of this
township, might serve for the purpose of an experiment.
experiments of this kiwi he found to answer, the
Legislature would, no donht, pay a ready attention In
say representations made to them, founded upon facts,
which can he obtained alone by prartice, atol might be
induced to enlarge the means of employing the poor in
the rultiratton of the earth. It could not be conrealed
that there were difficulties in the way, but the esperi.
went might he made without notch trouble, and with
little risk. After some other observations, on the policy
'of timploying the poor, rather than suffering then, to
eat the bread/ idkeess. Mr. Cawood concluded by
movitw "'le, • '
"Th s t the flberehwardens and Overseers of the l'one
of Leeds be empowered to rent 20 acres of land for the
emplorment of the poor, or to re-let the same, in any
quantity, to the poor, for that purpose, agreeable to the
Act of a4lien. 111. cap. 12."
Mr. &tees seconded the motion, and said, that it
was intended to apply to this twenty acres of bond the
system of spade hnshandry, and if eath acre, by the
mode of cultivation, death, yield from twenty to
thirty bushels of grain more than when the plough was
sled; as the experiments of Mr. Falls, and other practi-
cal agricalterallets, seemed to promise, increased em-
ployment wouitl be afforded to the poor, and the addi-
tinfoil expense would be amply re-paid by the surplus
produce of the land. The increase of productive labour
for the poor, he considered as the grand desideramos at
which persons intrusted with the management of paro-
chial concerns ought to aim, and this incipient experi-
ment must be understood nano humble effort towards the
attainment of that most desirable object.
The motion was then put, and carried ananinumsty
and the Oentlernen present, conversant in the manage-
ifrot of land, as well as any of the other inhabitants of
Ws town, were invited to aid the Committee in their
new undertaking, by transmitting to them at the Board-
room, any written observations they might think prOper
to suggest for their government; and as no seitable si-
tuation, where the requisite qnantity of land was to he
had, bad yet been determined upon, Information on Wit
subject' was also invited. Leeds, it was said, had lately
taken a prominent part in making inipArink into the
etwidiliso of the poor, and as the eyes twilit of other
parishes, and of the Lesislature itself, were upon us,
conselneners the most important to tile tommusity

others to follow our example, if we sueere.46l, or Ire ills-
etiuraging them from embarkingin undertitkingi
