The Patriotic Funds.

United Prea-i Association—By Electric Telegraph. Dunedin, Sept. 8 Some time ago the Patriotic Committee communicated with the Agent-General forwarding a list of cases in which assist ance had been given to members of con l tingents back from South Africa, aud suggesting'that he might approach the Lord Mayor to ascertain if any refund was probable from the .£6OOO which had been forwarded from Otago for English patriotic funds, so that the funds might be available for future cases. Letters have been received Mr Reeves, enclosing correspondence with the Lord Mayor, and with the letter a draft for £1000 from Lloyd's Patriotic Fyund, to be devoted to members of the Contin gents permanently disabled. From one of the letters enclosed, it appears that as a result of representations mado by Mr Jaaies Mills when in England in May, 1901, the trustees of Lloyd's Patriotic Fund made a preliminary grant of £600 to New Zealand, which was forwarded to the Agent General, and by him sent on to the New Zealand Government. A request was then made for a list of New Zeal indevs who were disabled, and a statement of the expendi ture of the .£6OO grant, which is an indica tion that a further grant would be made if required. According to the Secretary's letter forwarded by Mr Reeves, no list or statement asked for has been furnished.
