that in these circumstances they cannot pay more than
6d. per week.

family must pay 1/- for the three children during summer
months and 6d. per week during the winter months - and
direct the teacher to intimate this to the family.

eight and a half years (see Application Book p.7) was
considered, but as it is a case for the consideration of
the Parochial Board, Mr Murdoch is requested to lay the

Irvine, with the view of having it arranged that the boy
Murdoch be sent to the Ragged School as otherwise his
education, it is believed, will be neglected, and at the
charge of the Board entirely.
Andrew Higgins (see original application
p.3) presented a note stating that he is not able to pay

week. The Father having been sent for, stated that he
had other three younger children |
