CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS.
The most prominent are the Lying-in Society, and the Benevolent Society, which have been established for many years, under the patronage and superintendence of the Ladies of Hastings, sup ported by the voluntary contribution of the Visitors and Inhabitants.
The Committee of Subscribers meet once in every month, at the House of the Treasurer, for the purpose of making a strict enquiry into the character and circumstances of every person who applies for relief, in order that the funds of the society may not be misapplied. A Dispensary is also established and supported by voluntary contributions.
