Its objects are (I) the intellectual and social
improvement of the members, and (2) the relief of

the district of Cowal, and families and widows of
natives resident within a circuit of five miles of
Royal Exchange.
THE HOUSES OF SHELTER.
The House of Shelter, 114 Hill Street,
Gaenethill.
" The Shelter" was instituted in 1850. Its object
is to provide a home for females who, on their libera-
tion from prison, are desirous to reform and to support
themselves by honest industry. The number of in-
mates in "the Shelter" is generally 50. They are
employed in needlework, the institution receiving the
proceeds of their labour, in return for which the inmates
are lodged, fed, and clothed. In addition to this, a
suitable outfit is given to those who remain a full year,
and go out with the approval of the committee ; and
an effort is made to find suitable employment for the
women when they leave the Home.
Whitevale Shelter, 15 Whitkvalb Street
(Prison Gate Mission).
This Home was begun in 1878, and its object also
is to provide for females who have been in prison, and
desire to lead a better life. The two homes are worked
much on the same lines as to the length of stay re-
quired and the food and outfit given ; also as to the
effort made to find occupation for the women when
they leave, after remaining their full time — i.e., a
year. The special featm'e of the Whitevale Shelter is
its large washing-house and laundry, in which the
greater number of the 70 women are employed, the
rest being engaged in sewing, with the exception of
a few, who are occupied in knitting or housework.
Both Homes are equally dependent on the public
for employment. Our Bible Woman meets the female
prisoners daily at the Prison Gate on their liberation
from Prison.
President — Hugh Brown, Esq.
W. R. M. Church, O.A., 104 West George Street,
hon. treasurer.
HAMILTON'S ANNUITY FUND.
Under the Act the trustees pay the sum of £2 per
annum, to be given in clothing as a prize to the suc-
cessful competitor at the Annual Ploughing Match in
the parish of Cathcart; and annuities of £4 each to
decayed natives and residenters of forty years and up-
wards in the Barony of Gorbals of Glasgow, such
persons being not under the age of sixty-five years.
Said Annuities may, under certain circumstances, be
increased until the same shall amount to £8.
Thomas Smith, clerk, 32 Main Street, Gorbals.

29 Dalmarnock Road, Bridgeton ; 54 Maitland Street,
Cowcaddens ; 64 Douglas Street, Partick ; 3 South

Street, Maryhill. Children whose parents requii-e to
leave them to go out to work, as in the case of widows,
widowers, deserted mothers, &c., are cared for in
the nurseries. A charge of 3d. per day is made for
each child, but the Association requires over £600
per annum from the public to cany on its work.
