The dwelling was so considerably beneath the street, that only half of the window above 1t. It was damp, disagree able, ill-ghtcd, ill-aired den. In that apartment they found three families, consisting of sixteen in- diyiduals, who slept in it every night.

Other four five slept bed of shavings, an,l the remaining five slept on another miserable bed in the apartment When they entered, the poor mother was weeping her infant was on her knee, in the last stage of fa, disease, dying without any medicalassistance. The family was entirely desttute no means of subsistence, no weekly earnings, no pparish relief. That was one instance"
