The elections for new Metropolitan Guardians will take place on

April 2nd. The apathy of voters has been appalling in the past. We urge those of our readers who are voters to do their duty next Monday, and to vote for candidates who have knowledge of-the operation of the Poor Law which they will have to administer ; who know the moral, as well as the economic, harm wrought by lax or ignorant Guardians as well as by those who would subvert the well-tried methods of administration.
