The Poor HOUSE SYSTEM OF ENGLAND
WRETcHEDNEss OF THE MAssEs.--A most heart
rendlng expose of the misery-the abject wretched-
ness OF the English poor, has recently been made in
the course OF an investigation into the conduct of
the governor OF the work house of place called
Andover. The most sckening details of the suffer-
ings OF the unhappy wretches confined in this bas-
Tie are gwen IN the evidence. II appears that the
poor creatures were daily in the habit of fighting
ior tne putrld fragments Of cartilage that adhered to
the bones which came from the governors Ia
bic The sick were robbed Of their necessaries-
the female inmates subjected to beastly assaults
and systematic course Of outrage and cruelty per
petrated for years under the very noses of the
guardians OF the poorr' And this is only sam
ple-one solitary case-of the abject poverty and
misery of the English masses. What a contrast to
the condition OF the same classes in this country!n
