Solly manages to escape with the help of the pedlar.
These elderly self-employed were mostly small-scale artisans, shopkeepers, pedlars and service workers working alone or with the help of family labour.
The majority of front-avenue tenants were middle or upper stratum merchants, while most of the back-street tenants belonged to the lowest classes + day labourers, pedlars and minor artisans.
I welcome the opportunity to enact legislation that will ensure that the ill-gotten gains of drug pedlars are taken away from them.
The costs of issuing pedlars' certificates and hackney carriage drivers' licences are partially covered by the certificate or licence fee.
In other words, there would be no demonstrable collusion between the purchasers at the time they made purchases from the pedlar.
However, a bona fide pedlar has to be able to carry his wares.
Too many people are suffering at the hands of the pill pedlars and jack-the-lads selling seaweed patches and other such nonsense.
