The Report describes the situation of the "protected woman" in the following terms: "She resides in a house rented by her protector, who lives generally in another part of the town; she receives a fixed salary from her protector, and sublets every available room to individual sly prostitutes, or to women keeping a sly brothel, no visitor being admitted unless he have some introduction or secret pass-words.
Mr Kelly of Galway, a large proprietor, is asked "What effect has tenure at will upon the tenants, or the improvement of their farms?" and he answers "I think it makes exactly this difference: The man who has a fixed tenure considers that he cannot be put out; he immediately mismanages the farm he sublets, divides, and the whole thing is lost."
The careless capitalist who makes possible the "cockroach landlord," he who sublets and crowds and skimps the tenants for his own gain, is greatly to blame for the distressing conditions of the lower income limit of the wage-earner, but I fear he is not altogether blameless for the sort of house the $1500 man has to look for in the city.
He's going into a bank in Camden Town, he says. The salary's much lower, but he hopes to manage a branch of Dempster's Bank. Is that all right?" "Dempster! Why goodness me, yes." "More right than the Porphyrion?" "Yes, yes, yes; safe as houses safer." "Very many thanks. I'm sorry if you sublet ?" "If he sublets, I shan't have the same control.
Lastly, there may be the "sub-contractor" proper, who undertakes to do a portion of a work already contracted for, and either finds materials and tools, and pays workers to work for him, or sublets parts of his contract to workers who provide their own materials and tools. The mining and building trades contain various examples of such sub-contracts.
It is this tendency to live together and thus divide and subdivide whatever little property they may have, which will require to be most strenuously guarded against. It is of no use assigning to a man forty acres of land to get a living out of, if he immediately sublets some of it to a less fortunate friend, or takes all his remotest relations into partnership.
"On this system an estate is made over for one or two or three generations by the proprietor to the lessee who farms or sublets the land, and in lieu of rent hands over to the proprietor a certain proportion of the crops. Does your excellency follow me?" Eve did not answer at once. Then the lawyer's meaning seemed to dawn upon her.

In its barrack-like houses, rising sheer from the pavement, a chain of tenancy obtains, ranging from the actual householder to the tenant of half a room, who sublets corners of the meagre space on terms payable strictly in advance. A score of people will herd together in a room a few feet square, and never realise that they are cramped for space.
No, that's the Governor next to him." "That old toad? Why, he's a moral hulk; look at his nose!" "Yes, it's a pity, but we done the best we could had to keep the alignment, you know. His brother leases and sublets convicts, five stockades of 'em, and ought to be one himself. "These girls inside the altar-rail, they're the academy chorus. That one? Oh, that's Halliday's daughter.
