made of the bad conduct of the paid servants of this

Fanny's dismissal from the Refuge.

Mrs Anderson applied for the situation of
Servant & Laundress and as there was not a quorum
present the Ladies determined that the engagement
should stand over till Tuesday however Mr Caldwell having
called the matter was referred to him and after some
discussion it was resolved to offer the situation to Mrs
