DISTRESS in SPITALFIELDS.—At a MEETING I,
of the COMMITTEE, held to the 'Vestry-room, Spite'.
fields, May it, 18.26,
Rev. RICHARD HARVEY in the Chair :
The Committee regret to state, that in consequence of the nearly
exhausted state of their Funds, they are compelled to confine
themselves to relieving those only who are entirely without work,
and even those on a reduced scale, giving to a man and his wife
but 3s. • week, and to single persona 3s. The utter insufficiency
of this relief is too evident to require proof, anti even this must
very soon be discontinued.
As the distress for want of employment continues undiminished,
Me Committee earnestly appeal to the benevolence of those who
have In their power the means of mitigating the distresses of so
large and deserving • body of their fellow-creatures, as are the
Silk Weevers of Spitalflelds, and trust that the foregoing statement
will produce such an addition to their funds as may prevent the
sudden drying up of those sources to which so many thousand poor
parsons have to look for the means of existence.
Amount before advertised - £17,356 Ids. lid.
