With power to add to their number.
Information having been received Of the most distressing charac-
ter, and of undoubted credibility, of the rapid progress of famine and
atter destitution in many remote parishes of Ireland and Scotland, in
Which there are but few families wins can be considered as the resi-
dent gentry, and who are therefore exposed to urgent and overpow-
'la* demands for the smallest supplies of the necessaries of life by
the famishing' population, to an extent far exceNling any means
Within their power—it has been determined, in dependence upon
God's blessing, to form a Committee in London for the purpose of
aiding the efforts made to relieve the multitudes who are suffering
ender the present awful calamity.
The Committee propose to apply the Subscriptions that may be in-
trusted to their care, either in sending supplies of food to Ireland
and Scotland, or In such other manner as tnly secure a conscientious
and faithful administration of the funds to the relief of the most ne-
cessitous and the most deserving, in strict conformity with the rules
Which shall be laid down by the London Committee.
The relief proposed will be afforded by the distribution of food,
'Lothing, and fuel, but in no cases shall money be given to the par-
ties relieved.
~!The sick and infirm, •• the fatherless children and widows," who,
fts, constitute a very numerous class of the sufferers, and who are
in a great degree beyond the reach of the Government plans of relief,
Wlll be the principal objects to which this Committee will direct as-
Ma_ time° to be given. Should it be in any case practicable, some re-
wril in work, of an agricultural or other generally useful natnrc, will
be required from the individuals relieved.
The Committee abstain from pressing their application by introduc-
ing extrhcts from the distressing communications which they have
received ; the appalling nature of the visitation with which it has
matter
God to afflict so large a portion of our fellow-subjects is now
Zauer of Pslblic notoriely, and to enlarge upon it would be needless.
They prefer to act upon the strong conviction that there are a large
number of benevolent persons fully acquainted with the distress, and
ready to bestow their bounty whenever a channel is presented to
nera through which it may be applied, and secured as far as possible
from the danger of being abused.
sthPersons feeling A peculiar interest in any particular districts In
er Ireland or Scotland, can direct that their contributions should
be applied to the relief of suck districts, which will be strictly ob-
Served-6'y the Committee.
