it such. I do not. But we have it here on the evidence of one of the ladies that some of the bread is made with the very same yeast that her bread is made with, and hers is good; and further that she knows one of the women who made the bread, and that she knows her to be a good bread-maker. Why should they doubt this Guardian's words? Further, we have bread and flour brought from villages miles apart, and it would be impossible for them to conspire together for the purpose of trumping up a complaint. This affair to-day is another strong argument in favour of giving the poor money instead of relief in kind, and all honour to those gentlemen who have brought this matter before the Board; they will receive the thanks of thousands of people when they read the debate."--Mr. Kimm, the Relieving Officer, said the sub-contractor had offered to take the other sacks back.--Mr. Broadhurst: "Subcontractor! What, do you mean to say that this Board allows its business to be done in this fashion? Do you mean to say that this Board puts out contracts and then allows the contractor to sub-contract? There is no wonder then that the poor people are supplied with such stuff as this. Why, if this kind of proceeding is allowed to continue, this Board will become the laughing-stock of all the country, and further, who are we to put our hands on if this thing be proved? I would like to ask the Clerk who the contractor is?"--The Clerk: "Mr. Tuck of Hempstead."--Mr. Daplyn: "Why, he is only a journeyman miller and works for Mr. Bird."--Mr. Edwards: "Yes, and he is sweated by someone else; that is how this Board does its business."--Mr. Broadhurst, continuing, said this was a strange revelation, and he was astonished that business men on the Board should allow this kind of thing to exist. Here is a working man made a tool for someone else to sweat, and then he puts it out to sub-contract to someone else, and this someone else sweats someone else. What ever had the House Committee been doing?--The Rev. Fitch rose to a point of order; the Committee were not to blame, as the recommendation of the Committee was accepted by the whole Board. He was a member of the Committee and never knew before now that Tuck was a working man.--Mr. Edwards said he had just found it out, and he thought the Committee ought to have found it out before.--Mr. Waters said the Committee had put out the contract to Tuck for years.--Mr. Broadhurst: "If that is so it is most unsatisfactory."--Continuing, Mr. Broadhurst asked who the sub-contractor was, and the Clerk replied, "Mr. Press."--Mr. Robins Cook: "Yes, and a very respectable tradesman too, and he would not do a wrong act if he knew it."--Mr. Broadhurst: "There is no one has said anything about
