OCIETY for the RELIEF of DISTRESS.—This
Society derives its origin from the following cause :
That, notwithstanding the operation of the poor law and
the numerous existing charitable associations, human
beings, although within a stone's throw of the plenty,
luxury, and refinement of this wealthy metropolis, die
miserably of hunger and the want .of the common neces-
saries of life.
To prevent as far as possible the recurrence of an evil so
disgraceful to our social system, it is proposed in the fiest
instance to establish a co-operative system of visiting the
poor, by aiding and increasing the power of existing local
Institutions which have this object in view.
To bring to the notice of parochial authorities such cases
as legitimately Islong to them alone, co aid the police and
the Mendieity Society, to detect imposture, and to bring to
the care of hospitals, refuges, penitentiaries, and existing
charitable associatimas those cases for which their several
institutions were established.
Special and urgent cases of distress indicated by the
el Special
of all denominations, medical profession,
or agents of any existing Society, will be relieved as far as
possible by the judicious application of funds entrusted to
district committees and local responsible persons appointed
by them for the purpose.
No cases will be relieved by money or otherwise at the
central office.
The promoters of this movement now come forward, not
in any spirit of opposition to existing societies, but, on the
contrary, with the strong desire to co-operate with and assist
them in the arduous task in which they, with such praise-
worthy zeal and perseverance, have been so many years
laboriously engaged.
The following noblemen and gentlemen having combined
to form a Guarantee Committee, by whom the entire ex-
penses of management are to be defrayed, the Society now
call upon the public to entrust it with the requisite funds,
which shall be applied, without the smallest deduction, to
the relief of genuine distress.
