 lists ; and immediately after the collection to deliver the money to 

 the Brothers Nockher (the bankers appointed to take charge of the 

 funds for the poor), receiving two receipts therefor ; also to deliver 

 the subscription book with one of the receipts to the committee

2d. With the aid of the priest, to describe in the printed blanks 

 such poor persons as are brought to his notice or present themselves 

 to him, and, guided by his sense of duty, to give his conscientious 

 opinion whether the same need alms, and, if so, how much ; but 

 meanwhile no aid is to be extended to any poor persons until the 

 investigation of the case has been undertaken. He is also from time 

 to time to inform himself as to the progress of the investigation and 

 as to the disposal of the alms received, and to make a written report 

 in case any delay occur in the matter.

 be dangerous, the required amount may be obtained for the person 

 in need from the distributing priest, on the recommendation of the 

 district commissary, without the previous ratification of the com- 

 mittee. 



4th. The district commissary will report to the designated phy-

 be in his district who are enrolled among the poor. Such sick 

 persons, however, as are entitled to be received into the court or city 

 hospitals are to be reported to the directors of the same. Notice, 

 however, of the subsequent recovery (or of the death) of the sick 

 person shall be given to the district commissary by the directors, in 

 order that there may be no danger of the continued enjoyment of 

 alms. This same thing is to be guarded against, if a poor person 

 for some other reason is granted alms or allowed a larger amount 

 for a certain time. 



5th. Finally, the district commissary will render an essential 

 service to the public welfare by reporting any suspicious person 

 in his district, or any person not belonging here, or any offence 

 against the police regulations.
