POOR

A T a General MEETING of the COMMITTEE, held
-CI at the Parish Office, Fenwick-street, on MURSDAY,
the 24th December, 18-10.

The Worshipful the MAroa in tliehair,
the Secretary, Mr. William Corner, repoked, that, during
the last year, the East Soup Kitchen, in Gill-street, Brown-
low-hill, had been erected at an expense for Land and Build-
ing of £l,OOO ; that the South Soup Kitchen, built on land
granted by the Town Council, in Flint-street, New Bird-
street, had also been completed at the expense of £6OO ; that
the old Soup Kitchen, in P►ckop-street, being in so dilapi-
dated a state as to render it insecure for use another season,
bad been pulled down and rebuilt at an expense of 4150;
and that, in consequence of these expenditures, and the
relief granted to the poor during the Jut. three winters. the
amount subscribed by the public, in January, 1838, had not
only been entirely absorbed, but that the Society were, at
this time, in debt the sum of £B2O, including a sum of
£223 2s. 6d. due from the St► angers' Friend Society for soup
tickets sold and not yet paid for. It was also stated, that
the three soup kitchens would, in a few days, be in such a
state of efficiency as to supply. if necessarr, 2,000 gallons
each, or 21,000 quarts, of a good, wholesome food every day.
In consequence of the above statements, and from the re-
presentations of the committees of several charitable institu-
tions, as well as from the report of the &cretary to the
Select Vestry as to the present distressing state of the pour
and working classes, and relying on the well-known and ex-
perienced good feeling .of the Liverpool public for meeting
anysuch exigency with their accustomed liberality,

It was resolved,-Ist. That each of the Soup kitchens be
opened as early as possible: _

2d. That Books of Subscriptions should be immediately
opened at each of the Public Newsrooms, Banks, and News-
paper Offices, for the purpose of liquidating the Debt and
procuring Funds for the immediate distribution of Soup.
3d. That each Member of the Committee be furnished
with a book by the Secretary, for the purpose of private ap-
plication for Subscriptions; and that Messrs. C. H. Jones,

of the Society to Subscribe, in the first instance, and that
their List, with the above Resolutions, be printed once in
each of the Liverpool Papers for the next three weeks.
