DISTRESS IN M ACC LES I.'l E D. —A t a Meeting
of the Committee for managing the Funds for the Relief of
the Distressed l'uor, held in the Town Hall, on MONDAY,
Muth 4. 'Mt
7110 S. BRODRTCH. Esq. Mayor, in the Chair.
The following Resolutions were viewed :
ht. That owing to the depressed state of the Silk Trade, there
are at this time in the town and neighbourhood of Mactlefield
15 000 persons out of employment, 10,0(d of whom are wholly or
chiefly dependant on charity fur support. That relief has been
affirded to these distressed objects by the respectable inhabitants of
this town, aided by a few benevolent individuals locally connected
tl.eresrith, to the utmost of their ability ; but the extent to which
the dimes% haa at length arrived, obtigea the Committee to look for
wore general and powerful assistance.
dd. That the greatest attention to economy in the distribution of
the funds intrusted to them has been observed by this Committee.
The relief they have at present been able to administer has been
only scanty donstl•ms of breath or meal, or potatoes ; and as the
fund raised by public subscription is now nearly exhausted, unless
furher means are placed at their disposal, they tear that many will
b.:reduced to absolute want.
3d. That when this Committee have in view the liberal subscrip-
tion which is alleviating the mist ries of the poor of Spitallields,
they feel confident that they have but to make known to the
wealthy and benevolent the extent of wretchedness to which the
manufacturing population of Ibis place is also reduced, to excite
an equal degree of sympathy for their sufferings.
Subscriptions will be 11106 t thankfully received by Thomas Allen.
Esq. the Treasurer, at the banks of Messrs. Daintry, Hyde and
Co. and Messrs. Broklehurst and Co. Macclesfield ; and at Messrs.
