THE CHRISTIAN CONSCIENCE AND THE CONDUCT OF TRADE.
[TO THE Emma OP THE "SPECTATOR."] am glad to see that you have printed a letter on this subject in your issue of October 14th, and I wish some one would write you another every week. Thousands who try to conduct business honourably could do so. The evil is great, and grows greater; it does not stand still. The London Chamber of Commerce have printed a Report of evidence gathered by them on the practice of illicit commissions, and I dare say any one who is interested can obtain a copy from the secretary. A perusal of it should satisfy the most credulous of the urgent need for the Legislature to brand as criminal The practices complained of. The late Lord Chief Justice made a gallant attempt, and the present Lord Chancellor has also endeavoured to secure this, so far without success. Will no Member of Parliament take a leaf out of Mr. Henniker Heaton's book, and give the House of Commons no rest until it passes an Act to effect this most necessary and
urgently needed reform P—I am, Sir, &c., W. W.
