The Meeting discussed the mater in detail and felt that the Deacon should, in the first instance, make enquiries of the Deacon Convener of the Nine Trades and others as to the possibility of a pension being made to a Craftsman and if it was the situation that this might be possible, then the Deacon will establish whether Dr. Simpson has made efforts to secure help from Medical Benevolent Funds and other funds.
