BABY FARMING AND BABY MURDER.-In
carrying on the in Investigation into the charac-
ter and consequences of the system of baby
farming in the metropolis, the British Medical
Journal has become possessed of clues, which
IT has followed up, which leads TO its now pub
fishing the proofs that IN many parts of tn
metropolis there is carried on, under the most
himsy disguise or quite openly, a criminal
trade equally dangerous to the morality ana
the health Of the community, and constituting
felonious offence. 1t produces evidence that
the majority Of the persons who publicly
offer retirement for ladies, and facilities
for ''leaving baby" are engaged in this
traffic: and il gives rerbdtim extracts from the
notes of conversations in which these persons
have announced their business and stated theIr
terms. All ranks OF society are involved in
injury by this system, and the statements
transcribed in the British Medical Journal are
such as lead us To the conclusion that this traf
fc in life is extensive that 1t is carried on in
open daylight, and without any concealment:
that the police authorities could easily stop a
great majority at least Of these crimes, as now
practised and that all classes of society are in
terested in some steps being taken for the pur-
pose.-London Times
