Context
Administrative/Biographical history:
The Accident Relief Society was founded in 1838. In 1868 it moved to offices in Great Winchester Street, London. Although the Society contrived to relieve a number of deserving cases every year, it was never able to achieve financial stability. In 1879 its remaining assets were transferred to the Samaritan Society by authority of the Charity Commission.
