THE CHARITIES .
GIRLS' SCHOOL . GENERAL COMMITTEE . —December 30 . Present—Dr . Crucefix in the chair ; Messrs . Cabbell , W . H . White , Dobie , Norris , Lewis , Bossy , Sirr , and many other Governors . The ballot for Collector commenced at half-past twelve , and it was at first arranged to close at half-past one , but afterwards decided to remain open during business . Letters of recommendation in favour of the Candidates were read . On the close of the ballot , the Chairman announced the ballot to he for
John Nichols . . 35 | Charles King . . 30 whereon the candidates were called in , and addressed by the Chairman , and John Nichols , the successful candidate , returned thanks for the . honour conferred on him , as did Charles King for the support he had received . The Honorary Solicitor was requested to act on his own discretion relating to the deficit of the late Collector .
The petition of a child named Noke , a most interesting little girl , who could both read and write well , was rejected on the plea that her father was not in reduced circumstances , being only a journeyman currier , earning 25 * . a week instead of 35 * ., as formerly—his wife died about three years since , and his youthful family was superintended by his eldest daughter , aged 15 , whose conduct was exemplary , and shone brightly in the behaviour of her juvenile sister . Brother Noke is
about to be the Master of his Lodge ; yet although worthy such an entrustment , his position in society precludes his daughter the benefit of a charitable institution . The case of one of the twins ( Laceys ) was rejected , by reason that a former Court had declared its informality . A present of 65 copies of Sabbath Exercises—one to each of the children—by Bro . F . B . Ribbans , was reported , and the Secretary directed to acknowledge the same .
ESPECIAL GENERAL COURT , Feb . 3 . —This Court was called in consequence of the advertisement for the January Court not having been issued at sufficient notice . The business of the Court , therefore , was chiefly to do that which should have been done in January . —Present—Bro . Lewis , and afterwards Bro . Cabbell , in the chair ; Bros . Crucefix , Norris , Dobie , and about twenty other Governors . All previous minutes were confirmed . It was resolved that no child be eliible as a candidate for admission
g who has a sister already on the establishment . Notice of motion was given as to the better regulation of the Ballot . The anniversary festival of this Institution is fixed for the 18 th of May;—the Board of Stewards is more than usually numerous ; there is every prospect of a large attendance , and we devoutly hope , of a most liberal subscription .
