Several abufes having of late been complained of in the management of the Work-houfe of this city, and efpecially in the care of the poor children, if any gentleman, who has detected fome of thefe vile frauds and mismanagements will communicate them to the publisher hereof, they fhall be laid before the public, in order that timely application may be made for a reformation.
