HOUSELESS POOll.

Nationed from our Piper of yesterday.]

" In order to define to a certain extent the natnre
of their operations, as well as to assimilate them as
far as possible to the original design of the subscrip-
tion, it was deemed advisable by the Committee, in
the first Matinee, to attend to these cases only, where
the distress had proceeded from the inclemency of the
season ; but an uniform adheronce to this regulation
was soon found to be impracticable. It however an-,
steered the purpose of preventing an overwhelming
number of applications, which, considering how very
disproportioned the limited means of the Committee
were to the relief of general distress, was of very
great importance. At the same time it enabled them
the better to accomplish their great object, which
was, that in all cases the relief should he effectual,
and should not only rescue the parties from present
distress, but place them in situations to earn their fu-
ture livelihood. In doing (his, the Committee felt
that a too rigid parsimony would be but a waste of the
public bounty ; they did not hesitate therefore, in
peculiar cases, to advance ten or fifteen pounds, if so
much appeared noceasary; whilst in some instances it
was found that as many shillings judiciously applied,
were esually serviceable and efficacious.
"Tile personal interference of the suitors has also
been of incalculable advantage : the benefit of their
advice has been added to the bounty of the Commit-
tee, whilst the sympathy with which it has been of-
fered, and the consolation by which it has been ac-
companied, have encouraged the despondent to exer-
tions which they would otherwise have wanted the
courage to attempt ; several such have commenced
different occupations, through the assistance and under
the auspices of the Committee ; and the benefit which
has accrued to the applicants hat not been confined to
the mere pecuniary aid n burl, has hero afforded,
but in many instances the Committee have been in-
strumental in procuring assist:Alice and protection from
other quarters, and hate hail the pleasure to see their
example followed by benevolent individuals, as well
as puble institution•.
•• In dispensing the funds entrusted to their care
the Committee have toight, by es cry means in their
power, to encourage a feeling of independence on the I
part of those to whom their attewiuti was directed;!
and to prevent them from degenerating into parish
pampers. It has been their aim and endeavour, whilst
mitigiting the severity of distress, to lessen the pro-
bability of its recurrence, by inenleating the advan-
tages of a const int and strict frugality, and above all.
by teaching the pour to be their on n benefartora, by
relying only (under Providence) on the exercise of
honest industry.
•' The Committee cannot close this Report, without
expressing an opinion of the advantage that would be
derived from the establishment of ans.assoriaiion for
the purpose of investigating the eases of persons who
are iu the habit of addressing what are termed beg-
citif letters, to people of fortune and benevolence.
From their experience, they are led to believe that a
well•digrsted plan of this sort, under judicious ma-
.nagement, whirls should distinguish the really acres-
sitous and deserving from impostors, would tneet with
ready encouragement from the public.

Humphreys, formerly of Barnard's Inn, but now of tile

Master on the lit instant, when Mr. Humphreys sent
a person to leave that meeting postponed for a few
days. anti which was accordingly done, and the 4th
instant Mr. Andrews attended the Master as Counsel
for Mr. Capita, add Mr. Frederick Pollock as Counsel
fur me; when Mr. Andrews requested permission of
the Master to file farther affidavits against me, which

&laths, and made an elaborate speech for nearly one
