man lost. 6. 14 days. N.S. 12. child suffering from early phthisis. F. refuses enquiry or assistance from C.O.S. who report case to I.C.A.A.

Baby suffering from insufficient nourishment. F. unskilled workman. 8 young children.

A clergyman asked advice as to applying for Widow's Gift for the widow of a Hosp. pt.
