TIT FOR TAT

A late work published in London under
this title by lady from New Orleans, gives
a graphic and appalling picture of the slave
ry and murder of little English white chill
dren engaged in chimney sweeping. The
statements of tthe writer are established by
extracts from minutes of evidence taken be-
fore a select committee of the House of
Lords, appointed to enquire intothe expedien-
cy or inexpediency of the regulations contain
ed in the Chimney Sweepers' Regulation Act
Amendment Bill. 1t appears that Climbing
Act was passed in 1910, which makes it lille.
gal for any person to send up, or allow to be
sent up, chimney or tiue, any young person
under twenty one years of age, to clean or
sweep it, under certain penalties. The same
act also forbids the spprenlicing to the trade
of chimney sweeper, any child under six
teen years of age; with the intention of keep
ing them out of this dangerous trade till they
are big enough to take care of themselves,
and know what they are about, and too fully
grown to be forced up a chimney fue against
their wishes.
Notwithstanding this law, it was shown by
the evidence taken before the Lords, that
many of the peers, and magistrates, and mill
owners of Great Britain are so ignorant, sci
fish and cruel, that they will not be convinced
of the adequacy of machinery, even though
the chimneys of London are swept by it.
Being rich and powerful, they persist in set
ting the law at defiance and require the mas.
ter sweep in the provinces to use children in
stead of machinery.
IL was farther proved before the committee
OF the Lords, that the violators Of the law
have their doors locked, while the poor little
infants are being sent up their chimneys be-
fore daybreak or at early dawn, which rem
ders it impossible for any informer to procure
the necessary evidence to convict the often.
der; while, to evade that portion of the law
requiring their apprentices to be sixteen years
cid, the master sweeps abstain from linden
lures in apprentices at all, and, instead of
seeking apprentices, they purchase children
for FIVE shiliings head, at five years old and
upwards These little white slaves they drive
up one chimney after another, until some
times they expire of i'll usage and disease,
sometimes they are burnt to death and some.
times sufocsted. These horrid facts having
been proved before the House of Lords, they
last year passed bill to protect the lives OF
these poor children, yet, when the bill came
before the House of Commons, it was thrown
ont without the trouble OF trying to
amend II, or the honesty of looking at the
evidence on which it was passed by the Lords
10 fact, 1t Is shown that these cases, involving
murder and brutality in its worst forms, were
received by the House with rosrs oflaughter;
whilst members were heard to say to one
another on the ministerial side of the House
I'VE don't care for their sweeping boys
happen what may, we are not going TO have
CIR houses burnt down." The bill was lost
