[page] 115 City of Perth Sheet 98.5.12. Traces 1.2.3 & 4Note: The name in Title Deeds, etc. is "Poor House of the Parish of Perth" as stated by the Law Agent George Condie Esq. but the latter part of the name, viz. "of the Parish of Perth" is rather superfluous when written on a plan of Perth. Also the designation Poor House is given by the authorities quoted as two words but it has been thought proper to write it on plan as one word in conformity with the mode hitherto adopted in many similar cases.
