The next place we visited was the "Fleece Yard," another of those unhealthy courts, of which there are so many in Scholes--where poverty and dirt unite to make life doubly miserable.

In this yard we went up three or four steps into a little disorderly house, where a family of eleven was crowded.

Not one of the eleven was earning anything except the father, who was working for ls.3d.a day.

In addition to this the family received four tickets weekly from the Relief Committee.

There were several of the children in, and they looked brisk and healthy, in spite of the dirt and discomfort of the place; but the mother was sadly "torn down" by the cares of her large family.
