George Griasse, vicar of Hanwell (probably a relative, brother or son, of Dr. Griasse of Greenford), who gives the account of this singular store. He relates that — " In the course of last winter (1800), I endeavoured to establish a village shop at Hanwell, in Middlesex. A con- siderable sum had been subscribed, in December, 1799, for the relief of the poor ; but it had been entirely exhausted before the end of January. In endeavouring to remedy the e\il, I had to struggle with some difficultie...s, particu- larly with that arising from the disinclination of the poor to apply money to buy those articles, which they had just been in the habit of receiving gratuitously and abundantly.
" I adopted, however, the plan of purchasing by whole- sale the following articles, viz., Bohea tea (which may now be fairly considered as a necessary of life to the poor), tea dust (a commodity not very ^generally known, but very serviceable and extremely cheap), sugar, butter, cheese, rice, Scotch Barley, potatoes, coals, and soap ; the last of which is an article wherein the poor are subject to the greatest imposition, both as to quality and price.
