It was stated that during the last year the governors die-
tributed 17,0311. amongst 1,252 individuals—clergyman,
their widows, aged single daughter, and children—applying
from all parte of England and Wales ; and it is obvious that
to maintain so large an expenditure at its present rate, and
especially to increase it by raising the amount of the
widows' and aged daughters' pensions (712 in number), an
object which the governors bare much at' heart, and are
gradually acoomplishing year by year, will require the con-
tinued confidence and liberality et the public.
