about the streets all day idle - and he wishes these two
children to be received into the School to be taught,
receiving their victuals and bed at home. The father
resides in Kirklands and is a Catholic, but does not
object to them being taught the Bible and Catechism.
The Meeting, impressed with the necessity
of giving their aid to preserve these children from
falling into bad habits, agree to their being taught in
the Ragged School on condition of their father regularly
paying one penny for each per week.
Mrs Hudgel, a widow in Welltrees Street,
who has one son John, aged 16 - a daughter, Rachael aged
7, and wishes to have Rachael received in to the School,
but is unable to pay anything, owing to her son John,
being disabled by a disease in legs from working at
anything. She is not upon the Parochial Board. Mrs
Hudgel, being called in and examined, states she will
give her child her food and hopes the Committee will
give the education gratuitously. The Meeting agree to
her proposal. |
