Excerpt from Report of the Joint Committee Selected From the Committees of the Duchess of Marlborough Relief Fund, and the Dublin Mansion House Fund for Relief of Distress in Ireland, to Administer the Sum of 100000 Dollars: Voted by the Parliament of the Dominion of Canada, Towards the Relief of Distress in Ireland, in the Year 1880Special Committee could be appointed to undertake the distribu tion of this fund, subject to certain general rules, which their local experience would enable them to frame, and which they would doubtless be willing to submit for my previous concur rence. Such a committee might, it appears to me, consist of six members - three selected from the Committee appointed to advise with your Grace in the distribution of the fund over which you preside, and three from the Committee which cc-operates with the Lord Mayor of Dublin in the disposal of the Mansion House Fund. I do not desire in any way to limit the proposals which, after full consideration of the circumstances, a body constituted as I have suggested might be disposed to make but I may observe generally that I think it would be satisfactory to Canada, as well as to Ireland, if this money were so applied as not only to relieve the immediate necessities of the moment, but also to secure some lasting benefit to the people, by works of a reproduc tive character.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
