SYDNEY’S SHAME.
By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyrighl
Received 1,18 a.m„ March 25. Sydney, March 24.
A deputation from the JEMblie Morals Association asked the Chief Secretary to introduce legislation checking street immorality and suppressing houses of illfame. Startling statements were made as to the growth of immorality, and the increase of houses of ill-fame. It was alleged 2000 fallen women were plying the streets of “the city, and many young girls were in the houses. The deputation asked that the owners be made responsible for the character of their houses.
Mr Hogue promised that the Cabinet would give consideration to the subject, which was a most difficult one to deal with. Perhaps it would re-appear in a worse form.
