nefit societies in Ayr. He became deranged, and was'
confined in the TolbOoth, and afterwards sent to a
mad-house in Glasgow. Ilia wife applied to these
societies for relief in terms of the rules, but they re-
fosed, alledging that he had brought the derange-
Meat on himself by irregular living'. His wife brought

wkly allowintei to his wife and small
