Author Description

Excerpt from Care of Our Destitute and Criminal Population: A Series of Letters Published in the "Montreal Gazette" Sir, - Believing that the present is a favorable time to urge upon the consideration of both the Govern ment and people of the Province the claims of a class of unfortunates who can neither plead for them selves nor understand the wretchedness of their condi tion, I shall beg for a little Space in your columns, to act the part of an advocate for them, and will be great ly mistaken if sufficient philanthropy is not found in this city and province, or of justice and wisdom in the Government, to recognize the claim and ameliorate the condition of those to whom I refer.
