Description

Folio 44. Draft letter from the Poor Law Commissioners to John Harrop, Clerk to the Manchester Board of Guardians, acknowledging receipt of his letter relating to the letting of the workhouse at Blackley. The Commissioners have referred to the report of the Charity Commission in respect of the charities of Blackley in Manchester and find the workhouse at Blackley having been built upon charity land belongs to that charity and not to the town. The Commissioners cannot interfere with the matter as they have no lawful authority over charity property, neither can the guardians or parish officers.
