9 May 1782:32 (324)
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
specie; being the balance of the account of sales of tickets
for the Concert held at the Chapel on the 30th ultimo, under
his direction.
   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 them, and presenting them the
whole of the neat proceeds, at a season of peculiar
difficulty.
