Journal of the House of Assembly of Newfoundland
first session of the fourth House of Assembly

St. John's , E.D.Shea , 1848

A return from the Commissioners for the Relief of the Poor
Of Harbour Grace Division , from the 1st October ,1847
to the 14th December 1848.
------------------------------------------------------------
It seems they were given relief of Indian Meal & Molasses,
which were dispersed in lbs. & gal. { I'll use those symbols}
and it looks like they also worked on the roads for a bit of money.
My shortforms.....I.M. = Indian Meal , Mol = molasses , Lab. = labour obtained.
dys = days , recall the currency... s = sterling , d = pence, @ = at
