After due consideration, your Committee resolved to
divide the funds into three classes, namely :—
ist.—The Aged Parishioner's Grant.
To old and decayed Parishioners who are not less than
60 years of age (the Committee reserving discretionary
power to dispense with such qualifications if they see fit,
and who have been householders and are resident in the
parish at the time of the application, and can satisfy the
Committee that they are in circumstances to require aid,
and whose character will justify the aid being given) a
grant of money, not exceeding 10s. per calendar month,
to be made during such a period of time as the Committee
shall think proper, having regard to the Funds at their
disposal, and the need of persons making application.
2nd.—The Samaritan Gift.
To Parishioners in necessitous circumstances, not caused
by their own misconduct, such as severe bodily accident,
long-continued illness, or heavy family visitation of sick,
ness, or any temporary and acute suffering, accidental in
character, the Committee to grant a Samaritan Gift, in
amount such as they, having regard to the funds in hand,
and the special need of the case before them, shall see fit.
3rd.—Children's School Grant.
For the purpose of placing at School the Children of
poor Parishioners.
