Poverty in London

Poverty in London.—A despatch of December 14 from London declares that the poverty in that city is fearful. One man was arrested for eating oats dropped from a horse's nosebag in the street. The prisoner showed a letter proving fourteen years of good character, and that his dismissal was due entirely to lack of work. He declared that he had not tasted food except oats for thirty hours.
