The Benevolent Society of Hobart

Was founded in 1859 by the Ven. Archdeacon Davies, who was warmly assisted in his benevolent object by a number of the leading residents of the city. The objects of the society were "to relieve the poor, the distressed and afflicted and thereby to discountenance, as much as possible, mendicity and vagrancy, and to encourage industry among the indigent, irrespective of religious creed or denomination."
Churchwarden H Cook was very likely Henry Cook, Mayor of Hobart (1860-61), and first president of The Benevolent Society.
Churchwarden T Giblin was treasurer of the The Benevolent Society.
1Charles Wilson was a friend. 2Watchorn St described in the BS report as "a low neighbourhood".
