The Annual Meeting' of the Society lor die Roliefof Stran- 
 ij;GYs m Distress, was lield in the Grand Jury lloom, in tlie 
 District Court House, in York, on Friday t!ie 30tli day ol' 
 November 1827, at wliici) His E\CELLr:\CY the LlEUTENAlNT 
 Governor, Patron of the Society, presided. 
 
 After His Excellency had taken the Chair it was moved, 
 that the Report of the Secretary be read, wiien that Olliccr 
 read the following Report : — 
 
 REPORT. 
 
 The transactions of the Society durinjo^ the last year have 
 been so similar to those of tlie one preceding', that ihw mat- 
 ters call for particular notice. 
 
 Mr. Wood iias distributed the Society's funds throughout 
 the whole of the period, and his Journal, (accoiYipanying^ this 
 Report) shews the extent of his benevolent services. The 
 valuable assistance rendered for so many years by Deputy 
 Assistant Commissary General Billings ceased in August last, 
 upon the removal of that Oilicer to another post, and the is- 
 sues of provisions have since been gratuitously made by the 
 Clerk of the Market, and the Garrison Contractor, upon or- 
 ders issued, as usual, by Mr. Wood. 
 
 The poverty and distress which was apprehended at the com- 
 mencement of the last Winter, it is pleasing to remark, did not 
 prevail so far as had ])cen anticipated, and the exertions used 
 to relieve the indigent and sick, left no known case of severe 
 suifering witho? : alleviation. 
 
 Lieut. Col. McGregor, commanding the 70th I 'giment, 
 having- in his Regimental Store a number of cast ofl* Great 
 Coats, in the kindest manner sent them to the oflicers of the so- 
 ciety for distribution, and they were disposed of to the most 
 needy applicants. 
 
 On distributing the printed report of last year's proceedings 
 the Secretary transmitted a copy to the Lord Bishop of Que- 
 bec, the receipt of which His Lordship was pleased to acknow- 
 ledge, and he transmitted at the same time five pounds, to be 
 added to the funds of the Society. On his Lordship's arrival 
 
in York, 1 i>t SumnuM*, iio inude sonio iiKjuirlos into tlio alTairs 
 jjfilie In litiili(»n and i;iivi' (Ivo pounds nioiT, dt.-sirlni;- that the 
 ten po.t.uls n)i'j,ht b.; rojsidcrcd as liis first annual .sub^c^iption. 
 
 S.cknoss prPvniU'd amonu^tlic^ poor, inoro especially tiie Emi- 
 grants, to a greater extent durinj:;,- the last suiunier, than at any 
 period sinee the existeuct? of the Horiety ; and the claims made 
 upon the Medical GenllerniMi of tlie Town for medicines and 
 attendance were consequently great beyond all former years. 
 
 From the insufliciency of the current funds to defray the c\- 
 ponses of an Hospital upon the most moderate scale, theOHicers 
 of the Society were deterred from attempting to ( stablish one, 
 though vested with fhe discretion at the last meeting. As a 
 temporary asylum for the sick, His Excellency the Lieutenant 
 Governor has \wvi\ pleased recently to place at the disposal of 
 tlie Society the building lately used as a Gaol, and it is now re- 
 spectfully submitted to the consideration of the Society, how far 
 its funds '.night be so increased as to meet the expense necessary 
 to fit it up for the reception of patients ; and to maintain the 
 establishment tlnoughout the Winter. Such an arrangement 
 would very materially relieve the Medical Practitioners, and 
 greatly promote the comfort as well as the speedy restoration 
 of those admitted to enjoy its benefits. 
 
 This report cannot be more approj)riately closed than in the 
 terms of die conluding paragraph of Mr. Wood's Journal, 
 which is as follows :— - 
 
 " Sickness having prevailed to a great extent among the 
 poor and recent Emigrants, during the Sunnner and Autumn 
 last, comforts in Wine, Tea, Sugar, Barley and Rice, were 
 freqnently necessary, and \Ahen ordered by the Medical Gen- 
 tlemen were funushed. By their humanity many were restor- 
 ed to the blessing of health and strength, and enabled to pro- 
 vide for themselves. In every instance, when called upon, Drs. 
 Widmer, McCague, Burnside, and Morrison, were ready and 
 active in their attendance. Dr. l^hillips lost no opportunity 
 in giving his immediate attention to all in distress ; personally 
 re'ieving their wants, and bringing them under the view of the 
 Society for assistance. Since Mr. Billing's departure the 
 C^e k of the Market, !Mr. Coulson, has acted as issuer of Flour, 
 diligently procuring supplies of thatariclc, on the most mode-*

 District; was lately 'ahouring at the Wclland ('a- 
 iial, when in June last, by tl»e caving; in of the 
 earth at the Deep Cut, his leg was fractured, and 
 lie has been lame ever since. Produced a certifi- 
 cate from Mr. Hamilton Merrit of his inability to 
 work, it is dated the 1st inst. at St. Catharines ; — 
 referred by Major Ilillier for Medical aid and 
 lodgings; being sent to Dr. Widmer for advice the 
 Dr. returned Uiat his assistance was unnccessarv, 
 IMofi'att being as much recovered from his bruises 
 as could be expected, and that he was able to work 
 for his own maintenance ; this opinion was sub- 
 mitted to Major Hillier, and that Mr. Macaulav, 
 as Church Warden, on inquiring iiito Moflatt's 
 case had decided that nothing could be done for 
 him, except to allow him a temporary supply of 
 Rations until he found a place for himself. 
 
 G, Dr. Philips slated, that this day, Moffatt applied 
 to him for relief, saying that he had got lodgings 
 at Willmot's Inn, but was without means of sup- 
 port ; the Doctor gave him something, but on 
 being informed of the foregoing circumstances, 
 agreed with t!ie Churdi-vvardcn tiiat he ought to 
 look out for himself. 
 
 9, Dr. Philips again stated, that ■\roflatt had de- 
 livered to him a note from the Attorney General, 
 recommending MoO'at for assistance, " if deserving 
 of it from the stranger's friend ;" 'ij n shewing 
 this note to Mr. Macaulny, he sanctioned the issue 
 of a month's rations, as he is here, but considers 
 him unentitled to more, he having come from 
 another District in distress to be supported by the 
 inhabitants of this District — a Ticket for 14 days' 
 rations was given to him, and a note to Dr. Wid- 
 mer to report formally on his case, which he did, 
 
15 
 
 Feb^y. 9, still adhering to his opinion of '* no inability to 
 work for his own niaiutennnce." 
 10, Andrew Mitchell, has three young children, lately 
 lost his wife, is poor, but imprudent, and destitutf 
 from that cause. Mr. Macaulay visited him nnd

 could be supplied with work by Armstong &: Bent- 
 tie, to wliom Mr. Macauly spoke on his behalf, 
 and they promised to furnish him with work if he 
 would be punctual, which they could not depend 
 upon, he being so given to drink — a temporary 
 supply of rations and fire wood given to hini at the 
 , recommendation of Mrs. Strachan 
 
 lO, Patrick Oshaughnesy, was under the Doctor's

 by an order on the Treasurer, and he returned to

 i .1 of Mr. Cameron's Farm, and are stated to be 
 poor and destitute. 
 17, James Alexander Sterhng, whose fimiily have 
 been occasionally relieved, now states, that his 
 . . family have increased, and that he is yet unable 
 
 ■ to labour for their support, having lost the use of 
 
 , : his hand. As the ration tickets do not authorize 
 - . more than 14 davj' rations to be issued at any one 
 
 i ) time, Mr. Macaulay gave an order on the Com- 
 
 missary to supply a barrel of flour and proportional 
 
16 
 
 I'tb^y. 17, quantity of meat — they live in Trafalgai', and have 
 eight children.

 a Blacksmith — Johnston was found very ill, and 
 Dr. Widmer was requested to attend liim, who 
 reported his case to be dangerous, and he died on 
 the night of die 1st November. Mr. Macaulay 
 had agreed with Brown for his lodging at 6s. N. 
 Y. Currency, per night, and that rations would 
 be furnished for two, his sister having come from 
 the country to wait upon him — an order was given 
 to Brown for thirty-five days, making lis. Cur- 
 rency. The sister was afterwards sick, and a sub- 
 scription was made for her by the Ladies, with 
 which she paid Brown ; and he made no demand 
 till this date, when it was considered quite sufli- 
 cient to pay him the stipulated sum.

 and recent emigrants, during the by-past Summer and Autumn, 
 comforts in Wine, Tea, Sugar, Barley, and Rice, were fre- 
 quently necessary-, and when ordered by Medical Gentlemen, 
 were furnished ; by their humanity many have been restored 
 to the blessings of health and strength to provide for them- 
 selves. In every instance, when called upon. Doctors Widmer, 
 M'Cague, Burnside, and Morrison, were ready and active in 
 their attendance. Dr. Phillips lost no opportunity in giving 
 his immediate attention to all :n distress, personally relieving 
 their wants and bringing them into view of the Society for 
 assistance. Since Mr Billings retired, the Clerk of the Mar- 
 ket, Mr. Coulson, has acted as issuer of flour, diligently pro- 
 curing supplies of that article on the most moderate terms :

 tives, from whom they expect assistance. Captains Richard- 
 son, of the Canada, Whitney and Whitinf^, of the Queenston,
