The General Central Relief Committee for Ireland, since the publication of their former report, made in the month of
February, have been enabled by the generosity of a benevolent public, and in consequence of the Government having
entrusted to their distribution a small part of the funds collected in England, to ext
b end their labours con
varyingsiderably, as will
appear from the annexed aecount, which shows the total number of grants made y this in amount
from 2001. to 101. each, to have been 1641 up to the Ist of July. The Committee have expended 55,6271. 3s. 7d., leaving a
balance to their credit of 3,8121. 14s. 3d.
The utmost rains and most vigilant scrutiny have been used by the Committee in distributing the funds placed at their
disposal ; and though they cannot pretend to have encountered, with their limited resources, the
the satisfactionmass of ise
ory f
and desti-
knowing
tution that has so long afflicted, and still continues to afflict, the poorer classes, yet they have
that their labours, in common with those of other similar charitable associations, have, under Providence, been the means
of alleviating much distress, and diminishing to some extent the fearful amount of mortality occurring from absolute
starvation or insufficiency of food.
The Committee take this opportunity of informing the humane contributors to their funds, that they receive daily from all
parts of Ireland the most gratifying reports of the condition of the growing crops, and where all are spoken of as promising,
the potato crop is mentioned as hitherto affording every appearance of unusual luxuriance.
They trust, therefore, that under the blessing of " the Lord of the harvest," the famine and fever-stricken peasantry may
yet look forward at no distant day to other means of subsistence than such as they have been compelled to resort to; that
the generous sympathies of these who have so nobly evinced their feelings for their unexampled miseries will not much longer
be solicited ; and that the labours of this Committee, as an alms distributing society, will then terminate.
