In several townships many of tha ratepayers had attended the pay-days , ( in some cases tie strenuous opponents of tie new law , ) and invariably expressed their gatasfection at the manner
in which the relief was administered by the Believing Officers , Several applicants for relief appeared before the Board , and out-door rslief was ordered to be , given thea until the termination of the inclement weather , and in some cases the Clerk was ordered to request the Assistant-Overseers of Bradford , Horton , and Calverley , to ascertain the respective settlements of applicants , and in others , where persons had deserted their families and left them , changeable to the parish , to take out warrants for their -apprehension .

The Miser . —On Thursday week , a little miserable booking man of the name of Moses Arroitage , by profession a mason ' s secreiarr , and . whose residence is at Wibsey Bank Foot , was , brought up at our Conrt-House , charged with vagrancy , being taken into custody whilst begging frem house to house . Two shillings and -jfevenpence halfpeunv were found upon him . Being well known , ir wa , « considered advisable to make inquiry at the Savings ' Bank in this " town , when vouchers were hacded to the bench for the sum of one Jtumfrzd and jifty-Jivc pounds five shillings , deposited therein by ~ ilo £ es . It is well known that Mo < es is in the habit of taiinir
out his - " begging poke " with great regularity , and the crusts and crumbs which find a way into it arc turned to good account . The stray pence which find their way into Moses * pocket are with Dancerlike exactness , coanted and recounted , ni ght after night , ere his weary eye-lids are suffered to close , or his still more weary limbs are stretched out for repose , -till at length the sum for a deposit is accumulated , on which joyful occasion the eyes wf-Moses are observed to sparkle with more than usual brightness , and his feet to move with more than theiru ^ al celerity , and to the Savings" Bank he hies , ~ and
there adds bit lo bit , to please the imagination and gratify his desire for saving , but in ' reahty to starve his'tfwn body and dc good to no one . Such is Most-s Armitage , the-well known miser of "Wibsey Bank Foot . He made a pitiful bellowing , and prayed the Bench not to commit him to . Wakeiield , as ; 3 , " on hi . < promise to abstain Irom begging , he was suH ' ered w go at large . He cast a longing , lingering look at his moneyj and having received it , he left the Court-House with the greatest expedition , muttering sounds which resembled , " Oh that this frost would break .

mocy . Distbessed Poor . —It is painful to be obliged to state , that the pecuniary assistance furnishecT to the Belief Committee by the public in general , is not by any means , adequate to the urgent demands of our unfortunate fellow-townspeople , now suffering the horrors of famine and the riff < rjr of the weatht-r But sueh is the iact ; as will be manifest from a perusal of the report of the Committee , which follows : — " It is with great regret that the Committee have to announce to the public ,- that the subscri ptions entrusted to them are so far exhausted as to render it necessary for them to desist from dispensing
relief either in food or do thing . The sum of £ 7 &Q has been subscribed , which has been disbursed within about £ 40 , which the Committee reserve for the employment of labourers in the public streets : about forty are regularly and daily occupied in cleaning away the snow , &c . The Committee have great satisfaction in knowing that many cases of great necessity have been relieved , and many deserving families comforted . It is , however , painful to them to state that a large mass still remain , and thev fear
a daily increasing one , among whom destitution of food and necessaries exists . Of the care taken to prevent abuse of this charity , the public mav judge from the fact , that out of above 2 , 000 applications , not less than 400 cases have , upon investigation , been rejected . The Committee would be glad to meet many cases of great destitution now before them , but the means afforded to them do not allow Tl Subscriptions will still be received by the treasurer , Mr . A . Harris , at the Bank , or by any of the Committee . " .
