THE CRAVEN PEST HOUSE CHARITY.
Five Parishes participate in the benefits of this Charity,
viz., St. Martin-in-the-Fields, St. George, Hanover Square,
St. Clement Danes, St. Paul, Covent Garden, and St. James.
Four of the Trustees are appointed on the nomination of the
Vestry, the present representatives of the Parish being Mr.
F. Crane, Mr. J. Bonthron, and Mr. W. Winnett. The
vacancy caused by the resignation and subsequent death of
Mr. Burgess had not been filled up at the close of the year.
The income of the Charity is applied, under an order of the
Court of Chancery, to the maintenance of 24 beds in King's
College Hospital and 16 in Charing Cross Hospital, for the
reception of poor patients from the five parishes mentioned.
The hospitals are also required to afford out-treatment to all
poor persons resident in any of the five parishes, who may be
sent by the Trustees.
A copy of the Accounts of the Charity for the year 1889
is given on page 158.
MRS. ANN NEWTON'S CHARITY.
This Charity, for the apprenticing of one poor boy of St.
James's annually from the Union School, has hitherto been
administered by the Board of Governors and Directors of
the Poor, but owing to the abolition of that Board, the
management of the Charity will probably be transferred by
the Charity Commissioners to the Guardians of the Poor.
