Case 9.

In this case information was received from Greytown that a young girl who was in trouble had come to Wellington and was quite friendless. The Secretary advertised for the girl who called, but, as she could not be induced to go to the Alexandra Home, the Society secured medical attendance and the loan of the Ladies' Church Association bag. The young man signed a paper acknowledging parentage, promising to pay £5 for expenses and 5s. per week maintenance of child. Arrangements were made by which the child was sent to the girl's mother. The girl is now in a situation and doing well and reporting herself regularly. The Secretary has received a letter of thanks from the girl's mother acknowledging the kindness of the Society.
