- Content
- Folios 23-25. Letter from Messrs W and E Willoby [William Willoby and Edward Willoby], Clerks to the Guardians of the Berwick-upon-Tweed Poor Law Union, to Edwin Chadwick, [Secretary to the Poor Law Commission], referring to Form of Indenture of Apprenticeship under 7& 8 Vic c 101, enclosing a circular of Messrs Shaw & Sons, [Messrs Shaw & Sons, 137 and 138 Fetter Lane, London] which identifies blunders in the Form of Indenture supplied by Messrs Charles Knight & Co. They ask whether the objections identified affect the validity of the indenture. They also ask if they are to be held responsible for the correctness of any completed forms or whether, since the forms are from publishers authorised by the Poor Law Commission, they are relieved of such responsibility. Enclosed is an extract from a circular issued by Shaw & Sons, dated 21 December 1844. It claims drafting errors in the forms of indenture, particularly relating to the citing of acts of Parliament. It also claims that the forms contain an unlawful provision relating to the return of clothes and equipment to an apprentice on the move of his master. The company offers to supply correct forms drawn up by Mr Archbold and assert that such correctness is necessary as the settlement of the child depends on the validity of the indenture. Annotated: 28 January by G C L [George Cornewall Lewis, Poor Law Commissioner], to reply that the forms have not been authorised by the Commission and that the Commission is only responsible for those forms whose publication they have authorised. Paper number: 1046/A/1845. Poor Law Union Number 325. Counties: Town and County of Berwick-upon-Tweed and Northumberland.
