68 THE JUKES. 



the text of this essay was prepared, whose general character is 

 similar. If all the collateral lines which have not been traced could 

 be added to the 709 here tabulated, the aggregate would reach at 

 least 1,200 persons, living and dead. Now, out of 700 persons we 

 have 1 80 who have either been to the poor-house or received out- 

 door relief to the extent of 800 years. Allowing that the best 

 members of the family have emigrated, it would be a low estimate 

 to say that 80 of the additional 500 are, or have been, dependents, 

 adding 350 years to the relief, making an aggregate of 280 persons 

 under pauper training, receiving 1,150 years of public charity. 

 Great as this is, it is not all. In a former portion of this report, it 

 was stated the pauper records cover 255 years, of which only 64 

 could be consulted, the difficulties of getting the remaining 191 

 years being, in most cases, insuperable. Allowing that these 191 

 years would yield as many years of relief as the 64 which have ac- 

 tually been searched, we should have an aggregate of 2,300 years of 

 out-door relief. Allowing 150 years of alms-house life at $100 a 

 year, the sum expended equals $15,000, and for 2,150 years of out- 

 door relief, at the moderate rate of $15 a year, $32,250, making an 

 aggregate expenditure of $47,250 in 75 years for this single family, 

 52 per cent of whose women are harlots in some degree. Making 

 a like computation for the other items of the schedule, allowing for 

 all contingencies a financial estimate may be summed up as 

 follows :
