DISTRESS in SPITALFIELDS.—At a MEETING
of the COMMITTEE, held at the Vestry-room, Spiral.
Heide, on Wednesday. April 12, 1024,
The Lord Bishop of CHESTER to the Chair.
The Committee regret to state, that in consequence of the nearly
exhausted state of their Funds, they have been obliged to reduce
the scale of allowance to the distressed Silk Weavers, and to give
only Iv. a week to a man and his wife. The utter insufficiency of
this relief is too evident to require proof ; and even this must very
shortly be stopped. The Committee eszneetly press upon the
liberal and humane the extreme urgency of the case ; and venture
to suggest to those Ladies of distinction, where example would be
influential, the propriety of ordering British silks at their mercers,
as the most likely method of furnishing employment for the dis-
tressed weavers.
