The memorialists stated that the present In- fant Life Protection Act had not been actively applied, in many unions outside the County of London, and they submitted that no ade

Immorality and adding to the burden of the

Col. Long said there was a very advanced line of thought, to which many earnest people belonged, who were of opinion that the welfare- of the infaut was more important than the re- formation of the mother of the risk of weaken- ing the safeguards of morality, He hoped that the Government would not in any way weaken the parental responsibility of maintaining the child.
