First Anniversary Dinner of Royal General Pension Society

The Royal General Pension Society held its first anniversary dinner at the London tavern with Lord Haddington in the chair. Notables including Lord Fitzalan and Earl Manners attended as toasts were given, and the chair outlined financial strain after the Union Pension Society’s collapse. The society planned to aid 78 distressed pensioners, but funds allowed only 22 male pensioners at 3s 6d weekly and 55 female pensioners at 2s 6d weekly, exhausting available resources. Prosperity to the Royal General Pension Society was urged.
