Title: Address at the opening meeting of the twenty-fourth session Author: O'Hagan, Thomas Abstract: We have, at once, to labour that we may keep fairly abreast with the current of Imperial legislation, and to take care that, so far as it is applicable here, it shall be applied with a due consideration of our peculiar wants. Every one who has noted the history of English law — since it took the place of that ancient code which, for so many ages, regulated with wonderful precision and minuteness the details of the social life of Ireland, and which has not yet ceased to operate on the spirit of her people — must know that it has not acted precisely in the same way, in the country which produced and in that which has adopted it.

Title: Notes as to proceedings of the State Charities' Aid Association of New York Author: Hancock, W. Neilson Abstract: The Fourth Annual Report of the State Charities' Aid Association of New York, bearing date 1st March, 1876, has been received, and it contains information on points that have interested this Society. One object of the Association is to “Promote an active public interest in the New York state institutions of public charities, with a view to the physical, mental, and moral improvement of their pauper inmates”. The Association also endeavours “To make the present pauper system more efficient, and to bring about reforms in it”. Description: Read before the Society, 30 May 1876

Title: The importance of industrial education Author: Geary, H. L. Abstract: In the course of some recent investigations which involved enquiry into the working and results of Reformatory and Industrial Schools, it seemed to me that the subject had not yet received the attention it merited, on the part of many interested in the solution of social problems—living beyond the circle of those immediately engaged in the working of such establishments. And it is in the conviction that the principle requires more extended application, in the interests of the honest labouring classes, that I venture to submit the contents of this paper for the consideration of the Society.

Title: Further information as to the proposal to extend the Scotch law as to improvements in town holdings, to Ireland Author: SSISI Abstract: The want of this reform in small towns as well as large is shown by a case which happened at the Home Circuit at the Spring Assizes of the present year, 1876. The case related to the Borough of Portarlington, where the Grand Jury has sole authority over roads and streets, as there are no Town Commissioners. Description: Twenty ninth session – 1875/1876

Title: On the importance of extending the British gold standard with subsidiary silver coins to India, as a remedy for the inconveniences in India from the rapid depreciation of silver Author: Hancock, W. Neilson Abstract: The early years of Her present Majesty's reign were distinguished by the great reform for securing the perfect convertibility of Bank notes into gold, embodied in the Bank Act of 1844, which we owe to Sir Robert Peel and Lord Overstone. It would be a fortunate circumstance if the currency reform could be completed in the same reign; and the assumption of direct sovereignty in British India marked by the rescuing of our Indian fellow-subjects from the serious evils in which the silver standard which prevails there has involved them, and the extending to them the benefits of the more perfect and stable system which we have so long enjoyed.

Title: Report upon the importance of extending to Dublin the London system of having a common fund for metropolitan unions, for all expenditure in workhouse relief Author: SSISI Abstract: From some facts that have been brought under the notice of the Committee, they think it of importance to direct attention to the unsatisfactory position of Dublin for purposes of improved administration of poor relief, from having been divided into two unions, with distinct charges for workhouse and other relief.
