AN APPEAL TO THE BENEVOLENT
In 1825, died the Rev. JAMES THOMAS, of Hill Grove, in the hamlet of
Clythia, near Abergavenny. For the last few years he had some small
preferment; but the whole of the property which he left was a Leasehold on
two lives, of £8 per annum, and the Stock of a rented Farm of 28 acres. On
the 5th of February inst. Mrs. THOMAS died; she was evidently worn down by
anxiety, and by varied and continued exertions. There are ten children: one
boy was placed in Christs Hospital about four years ago by Mr. Alderman
THOMPSON; one girl has been placed at Cowen-Bridge School, by Capt.
WITHERING, but for her, probably, £1 1/2 a-year must be paid. The rest of
the children are unprovided for. Those who are of age to be employed, have
had to struggle against the want of means and of opportunity. One daughter,
seven years old, must ever remain helpless, from mental imbecility.
