Providore Northern River S. If. Company's Steamers "A DEN OF INFAMY." " Justitia " writes under date, " Queenstreet, May 20th," as follows: — "In one of your articles in last Friday's issue you refer to the closing by the police of a house in Newton, The article is headed ' A Newton Den of Infamy.' This designation would no doubt suit the tastes of some of your readers, but many eminent medical men who have made an impartial study of the social question would not regard the place as necessarily deserving such an opprobrious epithet. If only the majority of mankind would study social matters with their eyes open,- how great Avould be -the gain to human happiness ! If the authorities wished to suppress the house in question, they should have done so without sending an inoffensive, good-hearted, handsome young girl to prison for three months who had never ' been there before. No unprejudiced and reflective individual can look upon such an act as other than one of cruelty and injustice. A reform is sadly needed in our legislation on such matters." » - " Having dealt in a recent issue with the " social question," I am not disposed to reopen it at present. That the 1' opprobious epithet " applied to the cottage at Newton was deserved, the testimony of the neighbours in court goes to prove. The language used by the inmates of the- den is described as being perfectly horrible, and '.their proceedings were a scandal to the neighbourhood. Under such circumstances I confess nay inability to drop the sympathetic tear.
