FOOTNOTES {10} See the Second Report, lately published, of the “Association for promoting the Relief of Destitution in the Metropolis, and for improving the Condition of the Poor, by means of Parochial and District Visiting, under the superintendence and direction of the Bishop and Clergy.” It contains a large amount of most interesting information. Copies may be obtained by application to MR. HALY, at the Office of the Association, No. 4, St. Martin’s Place, Trafalgar Square. The Secretaries of this Society will also endeavour to obtain copies for any parishioner who may express a wish to that effect. {11a} Very frequently, however, they assert that they are resident, and have long been resident, in the parish. Without hesitation they name their abode; which is often stated to be at a particular house in Gore Lane. No one unacquainted with the minute circumstances of each street would suspect that the number they take care to select is one which does _not exist_ in Gore Lane _at all_. The deception is of course only detected when the case is recommended to the District Visitor for inquiry. {11b} It appears from the last Report of the Mendicity Society, who have had opportunities of proving the fact upon an extensive scale, and have endeavoured to apply such tests for the purpose as might discriminate fairly between the idle and the unfortunate, that of 3289 applicants, who, being able-bodied men, were offered work at stone-breaking, only 839 availed themselves of it, 1630 did not work at all, and 820 worked only one day. “Facts which, after making all reasonable allowances, would lead to the conclusion that about three-fourths of the above applicants, were persons who were quite satisfied to lead a life of idleness, and determined to use no exertion to earn a subsistence.”
