71ISTREB8 in SPITALFIELI)B,—At a MEETING
.1,0 of the COMMITTEE, held in the Vestry Room, Seta;
Heide, July 8. yes;
Rev. RICHARD HARVEY, in the Chair.
The Committee regret to state that there has been as yet no di-
minution in the distress of the Spitaifields Weavers. Their re-
sources, however, are almost dried up, and if the public do not
continue their liberality, the pittance which the Committee have
hitherto been enabled to afford to these suffering fellow-creature
must be stopped. There are now thousands wholly dependent for
their maintenaneelon the money which the liberality of the Public
enables them to afford, but they have only sufticier.t for their sup.
port during another week.
The Committee are now personally visiting the cases of this
distressed, but respectable. class, anti, as far as they have gone,
they can bear mimesis to the severe pressure under which they arc
suffering, and the exemplary patience with which they bear It.
Under these circumstances, they are sure this fresh appeal to the
charity of the British Public will not be in vain.
