The society was instituted in the year 1806, and
the sphere of its operations includes the parliamentary-
boundary of the City of Glasgow situated on the
south side of the river Clyde. The object of the
society is to afford pecuniary or other relief to the
natives and old inhabitants of the Barony of Gorbals
who are of respectable character ; have been in bet-
ter circumstances, but reduced to a decayed and
indigent state ; and who, not being otherwise sufii-
ciently provided for, stand in need of the society's
aid; but no one receives assistance from its funds
who is in receipt of parochial relief. Advanced age,
urgent necessity, and respectability of character are
indispensable. Length of residence, next to nativity
preferred ; but applicants must have one or other of
those qualifications. Non-residence at the time of
making application will not exclude from the benefits
of the society. No one is allowed to participate in
the benefits of the Society who is under fifty years of
age, unless labouring under permanent bodily infirmity.
The treasurer supplies forms of application for aid.
