To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As respects the Poor Law, Parliament has wisely given to the distressed Parishes and Unions three auxiliary powers, which come successively into action as the burden of the rates may increase ; 1 — the power to the Parish, w'hen its rates reach a certain point, of obtaining aid from the Union : 3 — the power to the Union of borrowing money to a limited extent on the security of future rates : 3 — the power of calling in aid the whole rateable property of the county. * From information supplied ...by Mr. Farnall: On the other hand, as regards the Charitable Funds, noth- ing but a little time, and the admirable means of publicity supplied by the newspaper press, have been required. The Charitable Committees in the different neighbourhoods are spending £25, 000 per week ; but the Executive Committee at the centre was receiving, from the 6th to the 20th of this month, which is the latest information I have been able to obtain, above £7, 000 a day. Speaking of public and general subscrij)tions, and of the district of the twenty-seven Unions, it would appear that they amount at this time to more than £1, 200, 000 ; we may safely assume (but this is a mere opinion) that the machinery now in operation will raise this sum to £1, 500, 000; whereas the sum hitherto expended must fall short of one-half the amount actually raised, so that we may look forward with cheerfulness, in the absence of any new and great calamity, to the remainder of the winter.
