it was on an evening, about half-put seven o'clock, when
the gentleman called ; he enquired for Dr. Dillon, she
informed him he was eat, and did not expect him home

person in the house he could leave the gurney with. She
replied she would receive the mosey, and deliver it

TOWN-HALL, SOUTHWARE—A ease relative to the
administration of the Poor Laws, has occopled the at-
tention of the Magistrate at this office lately. upon
two separate occasions. A poor man, named Noel
Portier, about 30 years of age, with a wife and five
children, had been relieved by the parish of St. (Norge,
in the Borough, with an allowance of is. per *eel(
for souse length of time, which bad latterly been re-
duced tots. id. per week, the parish officers conceiv-
ing that as the pauper bad a mother is comparative
affluence, she was bound, both by law and duty, to
contribute to his maintenance. Under these circum-
stances, the pauper applied to the Magistrate. alleging
his incapability to maintain himself sad family upon
the diminished allowance. The parish officer being
in attendance, stated his reasons for having made the
redaction, and claimed the assistance of Aloe Magis-
trate to compel the mother to contribute, at least to her
sun's support.
Oa reference to the law on the subject, It appearing
' clear by the Statute 43d Elisabeth, that the father,
gather, granflfather, grandmother, of poor impotent
persons, were bound to maintain them at their own
charges, of sufficient ability, and evidence bring given
that Elisabeth Melanie Portier, the mother of the pau-
per, was in elle receipt of the annual rent of 21 small
tenements, 'legate in the parish, in one of which the
pauper resided,
• Mr. Alderman J. 3. Smith had no besitatfrin in di-
resting* *nonagons fur her attendance, to thew cause
'shy she refused ur neglected so to do.
" -Mrs, Poryer Accordingly attended, aCcoripanied by
a younger sun.
Noel Portier was then examined. He stated, that
he was by trade a bow-string and gat-maker; that hr
bad long been out of employ, and even if he now had
eurploytnent, he had nut credit to procure the raw ma-
toilel to sosanefactnre. In cunsequenee he was reduced
to the greatest distresp, and fee some u.ouths he,
his elite, and tire children, had nut r%ell a bed to lie
upon.
31r Alderman SMITH explained to Mrs. Portier the
law us the subject. The tact of the poverty and
distress of her !MI was now in stridence, and it was for
her to shew cause why she should not be compelled to
support him and his family.
The younger Portier, who bad accompanied his
mother, said her an‘wer to the claim now urged upon
ber, was inability. it was true she was the leaseholder
of 2 I small tenements, but he was now prepared with
a atatengent to skew, that although the rout might
