Aid required (not homework)

[Mr Poster]

hi ho

The following gubbins:

"The common lodging house system did allow the police a larger measure of social control. The owners of the houses were often prepared "to assist the police with information, and the inmates [were] under police supervision to a greater extent than they would be if they were driven to live elsewhere."


This comes apparently from:

Parliamentary Papers of House of Commons, 22 November. 1888, 330:1819.

Can anyone determine if this is true and f other information was provided in those papers/

I am of course thinking of our man GH.

Hi, MrP.

I've only seen the text which you quote once on the Web - well, twice now, since you posted it here! - and there was no real context or supporting materials given. Without any additional info, I'd say we're pretty much stuck for now.

Hi SamF

Do those papers even exist somewhere? Publically acessible perhaps?

Hi MrP,

There's this:

Seems that organisations can pay a subscription fee, but individual membership appears to be a no-no. There is also this, which operates on a similar basis:

Access to these sources may, apparently, be obtained from certain public libraries and Universities. Joe Public can go hang, it appears

Hi Mr P
The quote you gave is an extract from a reply by Home Secretary Matthews to a question from an M.P. named Howell.
This is reported as below in The Times on 23 November 1888
Hope his helps
