The Commissioners for applying the sum of one hundred thousand pounds towards the relief of such of His Majesty's loyal subjects as have been sufferers in their property, during the subsisting rebellion, give notice, that having received ... the Lord Lieutenant's instructions that the relief at present to be afforded should be confined to the immediate support of such loyal persons as have been deprived of the means of subsistence, and that the consideration of general indemnity should be postponed. The said Commissioners will accordingly receive applications from such persons ... deprived of the means of subsistence; and in order to verify the truth of such application, the affidavit of the incumbent or curate of the parish and of the landlord will be received as evidence of the facts.
