PUBLIC Wougs.-The following circular has just:been

"Relief Department, Office of Public Works, Sept. 29.
Sir,-I am directed by the commiroioners to request you will
inform me whether in making your recommendation for works in the
different baronies of a district, you formed any calculation of the
length of time the works proposed by you would employ the people.
It is most important that Information on this head should be supplied
the COMMWDOCICTS, that they may know how to act At present it is
desirable that no more works should he undertaken than will be
out:ticket to employ the destitute for three months, before which
time (if necessary) the sessions may be re.aasembled, but there can be
no objection to recommend the commencement of a new road, the
cost for completing, which may amount to ley 2,0001., your present
recommendation being connrcd to the ordinary drainage and fencing,
leasing the metaling and bridges for a future.time. -1 am, sir, your
obedient servant, Joscru C. WALULK, Secretary.
" County Surveyor."
CAVAN.-Lower Lottunrett-The adjourned sessions

was disposed of; amount glinted, 3,5601.
FERNIOT.-The magistrates and ceu-payers constituting the
court of presentment sesslons for this barony, met on yester-
day at Csatletownroche, to pass works for the purpose of
giving employment. The total amount granted was 46,916/.,
of which one item, 600/., was freely allowed for the building
of a Catholic chapel in the town, the Rev. Mr. Fitzpatrick
engaging that it should be expended exclusively in labour,
as the materials had been already provided. The proceed-
ings were distinguished by the greatest unanimity and libe-
rality, evincing at once a considerable degree of alarm, and a
determination to meet the crisis with energy.
KERRY. - T OH P. 14 KMY. - An extraordinary pre-
sentment sessions for this barony was held in the Court-
house on Saturday last. There was a very numerous atten-
dance of magistrates, sew-payer,, and Roman Catholic and
Protestant clergymen. The chair was taken by Sir Wm. D.
Godfrey, Bart. The magistrates and cess-payers proceeded
to grant presentments, but unable to get through the busi-
ness of the sessions in one day, the meeting adjourned tall
Tuesday last On Tuesday the adjourned meeting was held
is the Court-house, the attendance and crowd being as the
previous day of meeting. The buuiness of presentments was
again proceeded with, and alter a strict investigation of the
comparative merits of the works proposed, the sum of 65,0001.
was granted to supply the urgent demands for employment
in this barony.
CLaNCAVRICE.-In accordance with a proclamation of the
Lord-lieutenant, a meeting of the magistrates and eess-payers
of this barony was held at O'Dornsy on Thursday last. John
O'Connell, Esq., chairman. Presentments were granted for
this barony to the amount of 30,0001.
KILLARNEY.-A baronial meeting was held at Killarney
on Monday. The meeting was numerously and respectably
attended. Among the several public works presented for,
the navigation of the Laune, and the opening of the Maine,
were particularly recommended. Presentments were passed
to the amount of 3.5,0001., after which the meeting adjourned.
K eN MAHE -The baronial sessions for Kenmore were hel4
on Wednesday last; James Dickson, Esq., in the chair.
The exposition of the state of the barony devolved on the
Rev. John O'Sullivan, R.C.C. ; he had taken some pains
to prepare for the meeting the state of the barony; with re-
spect to the population of the parish, and as to the rental of
each parish under the poor-law valuation, he should state
that they were as follows:

Tu.*
ICilKarval.
Nonuse

g
........
70.52 3988
1092
481 t

Such being the value and population, be conceived the
manner of taxing should be so laid as to be applied fur either
by the value or population. The chairman, the Rev. J.
O'Sullivan, J. D. Croker, Esq., and the Rev. Denis Mahony
severally addressed the meeting. It was then proposed that
the sum of 30,0001. should be allocated for the barony in
sums proportionate to the population of the several districts.
The meeting was adjourned to Friday.
LOUTH.—Dcsnatx UPPER.—The baronial sessions for
this barony were held yesterday, at the hour of twelve
o'clock. The attendance comprised most of the respectable
inhabitants of Dundalk, with the great bulk of the gentry
and wealthy landholders of the county. A large number of
the poorer classes also filled the galleries and other portions
of the court. The chair was taken by Thomas Fortescue,
Esq., Itavenadale Park, J.P., and with him sat Thomas
Fitzgerald, Esq., J.P., Richard De Verdon, Esq., J.P., Lord
Roden (who was greeted with applause on entering), Lord
Jocelyn, &c. The meeting did not break up till a late hour
in the evening, and therefore, says the I,otals Examiner, we
have not space or time to give the details in this day's paper.
However, we may state that the frightful representations of
distress made by the Rev. Mr. Thackery, Very Rev. Dr.
Coyne, Rev. Mr. Lennon, P.P. (Crosamaglen), &c., &c.,
were entertained in the most humane spirit by the meg.-
strates and cess-payers, and large sums, proportioned to meet
the probable wants of each locality, liberally presented for;
together with an assurance from Mr. Neville that the works
wul be immediately proceeded with.
UPPER ORIER.—The extraordinary presentment sessions
took place yesterday in the court-house of Ballybot, Newry,
for the barony of Upper Drier. At the hour of 12 o'clock,
the chair was taken by the Earl of Gosford. The meeting
was attended by the magistrates, clergy, and respectable cess-
payers of the town and neighbourhood. There was a most
creditable manifestation on the part of the noble chairman
and all who interfered on the occasion, to do the utmost for
the relief of the existing distress. The court was occupied to
half-past 4 o'clock, when presentments to the amount of
7,.5001. were agreed to.

LATEST FROM DutcOARvAN.—A correspondent of the
Cork Examiner writes as follows:
" DrecuAavAs, Ocr. I.—.t further supply of Hussar, arrived here
Yesterday. There are now about 110 of the Ilu,-arA and 1,1 Royal
dragoons quartered here, and I understand they are to remain ; be-
sides about 150 foot and SO policemen. Oar inhabitants are
surprised that they continue to pour in troops, ireurad of cam- '
plying with the people's just demand of adequate wages
for their support as the price of their labour. The wages
offered would not half feed them at the prevent priors of privisions—
and they say, Reduce our wager when provisions are lowered in
Price.' Man instance of their peaceable intentions and honest pride,
might be adduced the fact that, on Monday, a baker named Morgan,
went to the multitude and invited them to his house, to give them
what bread he had in his chop ; but they refused to accept his gene-
mud offer; and that on the day that two men were shot, and many
others supposed slightly wounded. On yesterday a Teasel bad been
loading here from the stores of Mr. M'lwonald, of Liverpool, and
they expected to be perfectly unmolested, as the fbbermen, who
principally detained them, bad, on Monday, all gone to
sea. No sootier was it known that they were loading
the wheat, than the women determined to guard the provi-
alone; in the absence of their husbands. They came to the quay in a
body and threw the plank over, and thus presented them from conti-
nuing, and have sinoe kept a watch, even at night—bodies of them
relieving each other at internils. The dragoons, infantry, and police-
men were called on to protect the shipment of the corn. The pasedge
was cleared of the women, and a few men were found hardy enough
for a large increase of pay, to carry it from the stores. But no sooner
did they commence than they were received with such a shout from
their countrywomen, as they could not stand their gave, and desisted.
As uo men could be found to bring the corn, the military dimmed,
and the women continued their watch."
THE PoLluE WoUNDED.—From the Cork Constitution,
it would appear that the police, through theirown awkward-

ness, or the awkwardness of their position, suffered from
each other's fire. The account in that journal says:
"At about half-pa.t seven in the evening, an attack IC IA made on
the military and polio., in the street lawNng towards the chapel.
Stones and other missiles were showered ipso them the a length of
time, till at ,ength in their own deform they were übligel to tire on
their amellsota. Two line young man, one from near kilinactliotnae,
the other from Kill, Longford, were badly sounded, and It was only
owing to the late period of the evening, and the existing confusion,
that room were sot killed. One of the 67th is sloe wounded by a
shot trans the as done of the constabulary—as the two parties
end in diligent directions—and in the melee the gallant fellow re-
ceived %sabot in the shoulder, pe.maug out through his back. Great
apprehensions ire feared for his recovery."
On Thursday, mays the Walerfora Chronicle,
"The following persons were committed to the county gaol for
being in the late riots in Dungarvan they are to stand their
trial at the coming quarter sessions to be held in Dungarvan this
month:—Michael Neil, Michael Brennan, M. Terry Patrick Power,
Maurice Crotty, Thouars Rosette, David Bombe, and William Barron.
They wereoscorted by a strong body of police, and some of the Scotch
(legs also accompanied them. "
N ATION AL COMMIWEE OF IRISit LANDLORD,: —On
Monday last there was read at the meeting of the Repeal
Association, a letter from Mr. Daniel O'Connell ,reeommending
the Irish landlords to calla meeting of their bcdy to assemble
in Dublin, to consult fur the interest of the country, and
convey their opinions, when matured, to the government,
to guide them in their Irish legislation. The sugg..stion has
already been acted upon, as would appear from the follow-
ing correspondence, which appears in the Mail of last sight.
The conveners of the meeting, I may mention, are of various
and extreme political parties :

Ti THE RIOHT 0011. THE EARL OP LITAN.

THE FAMINE.-MEETING IN THE 'ROYAL ER CHANGE.
-Yesterday, a meeting of the citizens of Dublin was held in
the Royal Exchange, at the hour of one, pursuant to a
numerously signed requisition, addressed to the Lord
Mayor, " for the purpose of applying to the government to
advance money, by way of luau, to such Irish railway com-
panies as can offer satisfactory security for such loans, in order
to enable them to give immediate employment to the able-
bodied population inhabiting those baronies declared by the
Lord-Lieutenant to be in a state of distress." Besides a
crowded attendance in the body of the round room, there
were oc the platform Lord Milltown, Edward Grogan. Esq.,
M.P. ; Alexander Boyle, High Sheriff; W. It. Collett, Eeq.,
M.P.; Timothy O'Brien, Esq., M.l'. ; Thomas Birming-
ham, Esq., J.P.; Mr. Mulock, Mr. Brodigan, Mr. H. G.
Curran, Isaac Butt, Esq.. Q.C. ; Alderman Boyce, It. R.
Guinness, Esq., G. Hoyte, Esq., Thomas Mooney, Esq.,
T. M. Gresham, Esq., Thomas Kirwan, Esq., T.C. • Alder-
man Butler, Sir Richard Baker, see. The !tight Hon. the
Lord Mayor was called to the chair. Mr. Jobe lteynolds
acted as secretary. The proceedings were unanimously in
accordance with the purpose for which it was convened ' • but
the Earl of Milltown who seconded the first resolution deli-
vered the following remarkable speech. His lordship, whom
name was received with warm expressions of approbation, said :
I think I shall commence by apologieing and expressing a hope that
I may not be eimeidereil an intruder here. (Cries of " No," and
"Hear.") The words of the requisition um to "c ill the eitieene of
Dublin." Now, though not a resident of your city, I was born
within It. lam the son of a Dublin freeman, and it is my greatest
Dome to say that, whatever be my position in life, I owe It to
the honest industry of a Dublin merchant. (Hear, and cheek.) My
Iced Mayor, in a cries like the present, I think it le the duty of every
' one, rm matter how humble, to conic forward and euthest whatever
he thinks might be an improvement or a benefit at the present mo-
ment. I contem that it was for this object that I came here -
It was to impress on this meeting, and through this meeting
to impress on the government, the aboolute netvesity that
Mists for the immediate assembling of parliament (or the
alteration and improvement of as incomplete an act as ever
emanated from a legislature. I spesh of what is caned the
Labour Rate Act-ass act that will totally ruin the WO and impoverish
the tenant, without affording due remuneration, or any concomitant
advantapi to the labourer, or ultimate benefit to the soil. Let it not
be imagined that I and others who dissent Iron, this measure wish to
shirk the present deities., and exonerate ourselves from the raspone-
bility that we all feel we arc under to ;Mord due employmon to thole
people who want the mean, of ouleistenee. No; we are willing to
be axed--we are willing, tf it be necessary, to be impoveriehed ; but
we do demand In the name of serve-In the name of common remit
-that the tat shall be applied to remunerative and beneficial objects,
and not to melees ones. (Hear.) My Lord Mayor, it has been the fashion
to abuse the landlords of Ireland. Far be it from me toundertake the
defence of that class; but their conduct on a late cessions, and at the
present moment, is a nebk and perfect refutation of the calumnies
with which they have beers mailed. (I tear.) They are willing, as I
have said-nay, they arc anxious to be taxed ; but they demand that
it shall be for beneficial purposes-in more concise wools, that it shun
be to furnish food, not stones, for the people. 'While on this part of
the subject, allow me to say that I go a great deal furtle r liertuipti
than moot of my clam; and to prevent any mieconception arising
either here or elsewhere, I may as well fully explein myself. I they
lately publicly declared my conviction that Ireland and Irishmen were
entitled to a perfect equality in the several municipal and isolitical
rights of the subject with Englend. (Hear.) I now met emphatically
decline my conviction that the poor of Ireland are fully entitled to,
and will receive by an unproved measure of poor-law, the same pro-
tection, the same means of relief, as the poor of England de.
(Mice, hear.) It has been said that the extension of out-door
relief, on the admission of the principle, would amount to a
conniption of We property of Ireland. No. I deny it I
(Hear.) We know that thousands of ewes of Irish land is Imre-
claimed and barren ; we know that even of the improved land, with
the exception of a few gentlemen's gardens and other places of the
kind, there is not an acre within the boundaries of the kingdom,
which might not be made to furnish two, If not three times what it
now doe.. I ertateil that I would not become the defender of the land-
lords of Ireland, from charges which I believe, conecientioway, to be
refuted and unfounded. But I may be allowed to obeerve, in panting,
that amongst the various calumnies with which they are aseaded,
them Is not one more fatal and more easily refuted than this - that.
they, the landlords of Delimit -and mark you, when I speak of the
landlords of Inland, I mean the proprietors of the soil -exact and
receive more than un equivalent for the value of their land. My Iced,
it could be proved, and racily proved, that the head landlenis of Ire-
land do not receive anything like the value of their wound, with
a very few exception,. Take, for example, the humble it/Week:it who
now addresop you. If my property could he let at the present
moment, it ix not to say that the rental of it could be doubled ur
quadrupled, but I can prove to the Kited:tenon of any one sceptical OA
the subject, that it could be set for ten times it, present rental. I
have land let for half a crown an acre that I know to have been let,
and worthily let, for Itlf. un acre. (hear.) But why do I ono Mien
this fact. Think you It is from any stupid eguthrtinal vanity in speak-
ing for myself! No, my lord ; it is to prove to you how easily tho
landlords of Ireland tnay be accused of crimes and of effects over
which they have no power. At a public meeting held in Blesseington
last week, for the purpose of memorialking the Lord Lieutenant to
call into effect the presentment act there (this will show how badly
the labour art worke,, a certain minder of proprietors, inyealf in-
cluded, undertook that In three parielice where we nettled there
should not be a single unemployed man who w""hl net re-
I mice remunerative employment at our own not. We therefore
memorialised and prayed of the Lord Lieutenant that in
directing the execution ue the act in the places fur which it war re-
quired these three retrishee ehould be exempted from it one-radium.
Ile perceived by a proclamation, and In fact by a muniiiniration front
the seentary, that the whole of the barony was pro himed, red
teat the eetimable nobleman who had the misfortune at that nement
to held the reeponxible, and, LA It appeared to him (Lord elilitown),
very oneroussottoe of lord Lieutenant, had not the powerof exempt-Mg
the Om e leinshee ; and coneepiently that these parishes is here full eni-
',element would he given, would lo equally taxed with the other*. It s as
a e'ell-known saying that "out of mil came mod." In Ireland the
land had, in the find intoner, to support the heal landlord, wno in
many emirs did not receive the interest of the money in iginally Mid
out in the purchase of land -next the tenant holding Ilium Matey

' various dames, and at the name time of attempting to feed his
wretched family. In consequence of what had hdallen the potato
asp there would in future be no leery of that fearful, that rumens,
competition for land-that driottfill tenacity with which the people
ding to the land. The middleman, wiz( ti he found himself nn longer
able to get cattier tenants to take the and wider thn, would have

tent. d laboueent There wile another pint which he would impress
on them, which was, the necessity of establishing depots throughout the
country for the safe, at remunerative hut nit marvationfirices of food for
the people. He was convinced that the prevent unnatural pressure pro.
ceded from what was a well-mart, but which had turned out to be a
most unfortunate expression on the pert of the prime mini,ter,
namely, that he would ant interfere with private enteoxis,. Dee-
perm diseases required desperate remedies. The prime minister
and the gosernment should recollect that in the present emergency no
private enterprise could supply the wants of the people. Where were
the imam of transferring MA from one district to another! In the
interior of such district so Connemara there were no corn merchants;
there were only hucksters; and it was by persons of that ell-BEllst
the present unnatural prices were kept up. Owing to that tact provi-
dons were dearer in the prevent month of October, the MOLT pi-estima-
tive period of the year, than they were in April and May loet. Nut- ,
withstanding the removal of tho corn duties - notwithstanding that
there was some portion of the potato crop still left-and an elemilant
corn crop stored up -through avarice on the one hand, connected with
forestaleng, and a timidity on the other hand of threshing out or eons
sliming, the people were driven wild with famine' while the country
was absolutely teeming with abundance. This was the un-
natural state of things, which should be put an end to by the concen-
trated efforts of the nation, directed by the government. Ile had to
apologize for delaying them; but the subject wee one on which he
felt deeply, being truly momentous, in consequence of tie scenes of
lons of life of which they heard and read, as haying happened in con-
nexion with it. Ills lordship concluded by expressing a hope that
the Queen would be induced to visit her Irish subjecte, observing that
even the present destitution would not cool the rapture, the devotion,
with which her footsteps would be attended."
The resolution was put and carried.
REPEAL AtiBOCIATION.-ADDRESB TO THE TURVULENT,
-An address from the Repeal Association to the people was
published in the Pilaf of yesterday.
POPULAR COMMOTION, Kiso's Coe erv.-The following
is from the Tipperary Vindicator :
" An immense gathering of the populace, amounting to between
Ave and iia thousand men, assembled in the neighbourigenl of Bon-
neither on Friday last, and had determined to proceed in a body into
the town, for the purpose of making Moo II theirdistreex to the autho-
rities, and to demand that either employment or food should be pro-
vided for them, as they acre resolved not to starve. But their inten-
tion having become known, precaution was taken to prevent, so far as
possible, such a formidable coucourse from entering the town, and
although they stated that their object win peaceable, yet mute appre-
hension was felt that an attack would have been made on the Commie-
sariat precision store. There was a strong body of the constabulary,
under command of Subdiepectors Duncan and Fortewee, with Neal
Brown, R.M., who nnived here from Tullancore. Mr. Brown that
morning rode out, and met this immense crowd of people about two
miles from the Mem."
The following is from the Tipperary rindientor :
"It is our sal duty to record one of the most mysterious, at the same
time one of the most atrocious murders, of which thiscountry has teen
the theatre for a long period, and which was perpetrated in the Woad
noon of Wednesday, on the person of a single:oly inoffensive man near
Kilgathan, the residence of that excellent council- gentleman, Mr.
Solomon Cambie. The particulars, as they have reached us, and I s

LANDLORDS IN IRIBLAND.—LORD CLARB.—The Limerick
Reporter publishes the letter of • correspondent, from which
I find that on the Earl of Clue's property, in the parish of
Clouneagh, nearly all the tenantry, within the last three
month', have been served with notice to quit—one of which
notices I enclose you. This is the process that at present is
going on, instead of his lordship troubling his head, as other
noble proprietors, to their credit have done, as to how the
poor tenants en their properties are to be fed. lam
audibly informed that this same Earl of Clue was last
swoon applied to by the poor relief committee for a sub-
scription, and that his lordship, like a true nabob, did not
deem the committee worthy the courtesy of a reply. His
tenants, of course, through the influence of their kind•
hearted and charitable pastor, received relief from the com-
mittee for his lordship's poor famishing tenantry, to the
prejudice of those who were provided for by other landlords.
LORD FORTESCU E.—This nobleman sets a better example,
for I find from the Newry Examiner that the Roman
Catholic pastor of Tremor., the Rev. N. Ci ntwell, has re-
ceived the sum of 201. from Lord Fortescue, and 51. from
Lord Ebrington, to be disposed of by the rev. gent. in cha-
rity. We love, adds the journalist, to record such instances
of practical benevolence; for donations such as these need
no act of parliament, or official machinery, for their distri-
bution to the poor..
STODPAGE Or PUBLIC WORKS IN CORR.—The Southern
Reporter informs us that the public works commenced upon
the Ouuabuy river, to improve the drainage, have been dis-
continued under the following circumstances : Three hun-
dred labourers were employed upon the works, when, after
some weeks, the officer of the Board of Works announced
that the labour would be continued to them by task-work,
at which an experienced and strong labourer could earn from
16d. to 18d. a day. The labourers refused to continue to
work on these terms, and abandoned the works, though, says
the Cork journal, their families were in the utmost
distress. In a subsequent communication with the la-
bourers, Mr. Molony, a magistrate, stated that the
few men who continued the works were earning from
I4d. to 17d. a day at task-work—observing that the works
would be stopped altogether if they absented themselves much
longer, as the Board of Works would not keep up a staff of
officers there who had nothing to do. One of the labourers
strongly urged the objection that heavy floods came in upon
the work, and that a considerable quantity of water had to be
baled out by the men before they were able to commence the
labour for which they would be paid by measurement. Sub-
sequently, on the representation of the Roman Catholic cler-
gyman of Ballinhossig to the officer of works, arrangements
were made for the return of the people to their labour. In
the Lord. Lieutenant's circular directing the resumption of
works under the 9th Vie., cap. 1, the following rule is laid
down respecting wages :
" The commissioners further beg to inform you, In reference to the
task work, that the stun to be paid for each portion of work
should be sufficient to enable en ordinary labourer to earn from 10d.
to Is. per day, and a good labourer, who exerted himself from Is, 4d.
to is. Gd. per day. When labourers will not work, except by the day,
the pay must be guided by the treasury minute. The pries of break-
ing stone by the tun or lead, must vary according to the quality of
stone, being so proportioned as to enable diligent men to earn a fair
day's hire.
A TEXT AND Commit:rm.—A paragraph in the Galway
Vindicator intimates that:

" F.M. steam-ship ' Comet' left our harbour yesterday (Tuesday)
at one o'clock, after dbcharging IS,OOO/. in silver coin, for the par.
mein of public works now being completed under the direction of the
Board of Works."
In the very same column in which this appears, we read
the following remarks on a report that Parliament was not
to meet in November:
- - - - - .

" With the wonted heartlessness of British Governments relative
to the welfare of the Irish people or the means of ameliorating their
rendition, they now refuse even so much as an opportunity to en-
able the Irish members to urge such measures upon their conaidera-
Don as would be adapted to the present awful emergency. Why this
should oecar we cannot divine, unless upon the supposition that the
government feared they would make out such a case to the world of
the cruelty of indicting the entire burthen of the present visitation
upon the already impoverished resources of Ireland as should expose
Great Britain to the indignation as well as contempt of every civilised
People."
And in the column preceding it there appears this asser-
tion :
"While they perceive the Government—an English Government—
making no real efforts to co-operate with the gentry and middle class,
commensurate with the extent of the distress which universally pre-
vails in every district of the kingdom, thoy have the gratification of
at least witnessing among their own countrymen, from the Lord-
Lieutenant down to the humblest of the cees-payers, the utmost
anxiety to ameliorate their condition, and. protect them against the
otherwise inevitable consequences of the entire destruction of the
potato crop."
DRAINAGE OF BALLTTEIGUE LOUGH, IN WRIFORD.—
Tbe Admiralty and the Woods and Forests have assented to
the proceeding with this undertaking on the following
terms :
" The Board, stewing the importance of works of this nature being
commenced it the present moment, have transmitted their assent
thereto on behalf of the Crown to Mr. Walker, the Secretary to the
Drainage Commissioners ; and they will be prepared to recommend
the assignment of the crown's lights over the Slobs or Mutilands which
will be retained thei eunder, in consideration of an allotment to the
Crown of one-fortieth in value of the land embanked and reclaimed,
over which the Crown's rights extend."
in reference to this assent, Mr. Rowe, of Bally-cross, ob-
serves:
" By beginning this work at once it would save the necessity of any
barony assessment, and therefore be a great relief to the ems payers,
at the same time affording permanent work to a large number of
men fur four or five years, and adding Land and its produce to the
county."
WORKHOUSE RELIEF,—AVERSION TO IT.-00 the day
preceding that on which the above meeting was held, the
Poor-law guardians of the Mallow Union held an extra-
ordinary meeting, and came to the determination of supply-
ing food to those may who would enter the workhouse as
inmates. The hundreds who were waiting prayed to get
something to take home to their families, but the guardians
would only supply those who entered the house ; very few
' entered, and moat of those who did, left in the evening. The
guardians had been in the habit for some days of distributing
bread to those who were known to be in extreme destitution,
but they found the expense too heavy for the union to be
saddled with, in addition to the burthen of the labour rate.
