to solicit the honour of your Lordship's sanction and support
in aid of so desirable an object.
Subject to regulations ofdetail,theitlan of the Society mey
be briefly stated as hounded on that which originated with
Mr. Matthew Martin in 1796, and has since, though on a li-
mited scale, been successfully carried on by him, as more
particularly described in the Report of a Committee of the
House of Commons, to whom the state of mendicity in the
metropolis was in the year 1141.5 referred.
The immediate purpose of such a Om is altogether to su-
persede the bestowing of alms on common street beggars, by
the delivery to them of tickets of reference to an office to be
established in a convenient part of the howl., for Ihe invemi.

Lordships consideration, in the hope that your Lordship
