STEWART HEADLAM said that in East London they suffered a good deal through the decisions of Mr. MONTAGU WILLIAMS, who constantly paid the fines from the poor-box, or out of his own pocket!] Oh, MONTAGU, this conduct is nefarious! _You_ are, indeed, a pretty Magistrate! Better the judgments, generous, if precarious, Of the old Cadi at an Eastern gate. No wonder that you madden MEREDTTH-KITSON, And stir the bitter bile of STEWART HEADLAM. When Justice, School-Board ruling simply "sits on, " Schoo...l-Boards become a mere annexe of--Bedlam! Nine children! Husband out of work! No boots! And do you really think that _these_ are reasons For fine-remission? This strikes at the roots Of Law, which ought to rule us at all seasons. Oh, how shall KITSON educate the "kids, " Or how shall HEADLAM discipline the mothers, If you, instead of doing what Law bids, Pay the poor creatures' fines and raise up bothers? Law, Sir, is Law, even to Magistrates, Not a mere chopping-block for maudlin charity. Fining the impecunious doubtless grates On feelings such as yours; there's some disparity 'Twixt School-Board Draconism, and regard For parents penniless, and children bootless; But pedagogues--ask HEADLAM--must be hard, Or pedagogy's purposes are fruitless.
