No. 5. Sawyer by trade, machinery cut him out. Had a job, haymaking
near Uxbridge. Had been on same job lately for a month; got 2s. 6d a
day. (Probably spent it in drink, seems a very doubtful worker.) Has
been odd jobbing a long time, earned 2d. to-day, bought a pen'orth of
tea and ditto of sugar (produces same from pocket) but can't get any
place to make the tea; was hoping to get to a lodging house where he
could borrow a teapot, but had no money. Earned nothing yesterday,
slept at a casual ward; very poor place, get insufficient food,
considering the labour. Six ounces of bread and a pint of skilly for
breakfast, one ounce of cheese and six or seven ounces of bread for
dinner (bread cut by guess). Tea same as breakfast,--no supper.
For this you have to break 10 cwt. of stones, or pick 4 lbs. of oakum.

Number 6. Had slept out four nights running. Was a distiller by trade
been out four months; unwilling to enter into details of leaving, but
it was his own fault. (Very likely; a heavy, thick, stubborn, and
senseless-looking fellow, six feet high, thick neck, strong limbs,
evidently destitute of ability. Does odd jobs; earned 3d. for minding
a horse, bought a cup of coffee and pen'orth of bread and butter.
Has no money now. Slept under Waterloo Bridge last night.

No. 7. Good-natured looking man; one who would suffer and say nothing
clothes shining with age, grease, and dirt; they hang on his joints as
on pegs; awful rags! I saw him endeavouring to walk. He lifted his
feet very slowly and put them down carefully in evident pain. His legs
are bad; been in infirmary several times with them. His uncle and
grandfather were clergymen; both dead now. He was once in a good
position in a money office, and afterwards in the London and County
Bank for nine years. Then he went with an auctioneer who broke, and he
was left ill, old, and without any trade. "A clerk's place," says he,
