McMillan, Esq. Tom. Dupimjy, Tliis Society was called into cxiatenco atla public meeting of citizens for the purpose of relieving cases of sickness and destitution which, - the Relieving Offloor could not so well deal with. The frequent appeals to the oitizens of Auck] land for charitable aid have become burden some, and the help given being unsystematic ia not only ineffectual but sometimes wasted on. the undeserving. Convinced that the publio Will bo saved much annoyance from begging, and expense, and that this organisation will do> more real goad to the poor and needy than Isolated bnnevolent efforts, the Committee ap peal for support. They will administer with., great care all funds entrusted to them, an 4( cause strict inquiries to be mode into such ap plications for relief. Whenever possible, they ; will try to avert a tendency to pauperism by getting work for men and women, thus making ftiem self-reliant. You are, therefore, respect fully invited to pay to the Treasurer, or any o£ ■ thi Committee, whatever you may feel disposed, to give, to enable the Committee to carry one : the above objects. ; -'• N.B.—The Seoretaryoangenerally beseen at) i ; hia private residence, WeUssloy-Btxeet W.
