However. this practice was stopped In England about the end of our Civil War when a bill forbidding the em· ployment of child sweepers was put through Parliament by the benevolent Earl of Shafteshury.

His coat cull's were most always turned In to prevent the soot from making Its wnv in via that route. Smnll straps were tied about his legs Just below the knee to keep the soot stirred up from ascending his trouser legs.
