granted by the Town Council, in Flint-street, New Bird-
street, had also been completed at the expense of £6OO ; that

£223 2s. 6d. due from the Strangers' Friend Society for soup

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 Secretary to the
