It is with the most sensible pleasure that the Overseers of
the Poor inform the public that Mr. William Selby has
directed the town treasurer to deposit with them, for the
benefit of the poor under their care, the sum of one hundred
and fifty-seven pounds fifteen shillings and one penny in
species, being the balance of the accounts of sales of
tickets for the concert held at the Chapel on the 30th
ultimo.
  They now, on behalf of the poor request Mr. Selby, and the
other performers of the vocal and instrumental music, to
accept their thanks, for proposing and conducting that very
agreeable mode of relieving and presenting them the whole of
the [?net] proceeds, at a season of peculiar difficulty.
