His Royal Highness the DUKE of YORK has been grad-
°llllY pleased to signify his intention to preside.
Seats will be provided for Ladies.
.:rThe plan of the Institution is, the issue of printed Tickets
7. distribution to Street Beggars, in lieu of Alms, which
11ekets refer them to the Society's House, where they are sup.
!ed with Food, and a Statement of the Case of each registered.
Ile truth of this Statement is afterwards ascertained by Per.
I:rial In and Inquiry, when necessary, and the Case
then disposed of according to circumstances.
cleeThe experience of the Managers has impressed them with a
oeP sense of the importance of the Society. They have had
. heart.felt satisfaction of rescuing many really descrying
th.2ects from wretchedness and misery, whilst, at the same time,
h -Y. have exposed and brought to justice a considerable num.
oferof daring Impostors who infested and disgraced the streets
ne.r..ne metropolis, and who were living in habits of drunken.
4114 riot with the sums daily bestowed on them from a
41,1csttaken humanity. They entreat the Public to assist their
eavours by distributing their Tickets, and discontinuing al.
together4i the present impolitic practice of indiscriminate Alms-
wo,,tN• If this object were once attained, the'
sturdy beggar
"'" be Qompelled to work, as the most artful imposture could
4._of no avail—the employment of children in begging (one
ancause of juvenile crime) would be terminated—the most
471t,ing features. of the present system would gradually recede,
of" the wretchedness, indolence, and vice of a numerous class
°ltra fell Ow-creatures might, in the course of time, give place
sa,f..l. bits of Industry and Virtue.
Since the opening of the Office, on the 25th March, 1810,
ve -PG Cases have been referred to the Office; during the in-
rnastigation of which the Society has given 196,318 Meals, in
c4Y cases Clothes, and generally Money to procure Lodgings ;
4 confirmed Vagrants have been apprehended; and 2,387
4,11.1 itted, through the instrumentality of Constables, employ-
.
the Society for that purpose.
of,3scribers of One Guinea or upwards per Annum, or Donors

entitled to an unlimited quantity of Tickets for distribution
