- Content
- Folios 53-54. Letter from 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] acknowledging receipt of their letter of 14 March Paper number: 2596/A/1845 regarding the payment of expenses for attending Hawley's [W H Toovey Hawley, Assistant Poor Law Commissioner] investigation into Dippie [George Dippie] and Mr Thompson. They state that the distances travelled were obtained at the meeting on 25 February 1845 from several of the guardians with knowledge of the localities, and the board was satisfied with that. They refer the Commission to their letter of 4 July 1844 which informed the Commission that the witnesses had received payment, an account of which was sent on 13 May 1844. As the above named witnesses have already been paid a larger sum than they were entitled to under the order the clerks ask that the Commission will send to them the sums they may order for these witnesses. Annotated: 19 March 1845 by W H T H [W H Toovey Hawley, Assistant Poor Law Commissioner], that to adjust the sums to be paid to Thompson and Dippie, Willoby should state what has actually been paid them distinguishing between allowances for travelling, loss of time etc., and the number of miles each has travelled from the Berwick union. Annotated: 28 March 1845 by W G L [William Golden Lumley, Assistant Secretary to the Poor Law Commission], settled according to the distance travelled. The Commission must know the exact distance which, in the clerks' first letter, was stated to be 25 miles. [This annotation struck through.] Annotated: To send a Post Office order to Dippie for £1 2s 6d and to Thompson for £1 or for the sums paid by the clerk for £1 17s 6d and £1 15s 2d. Annotated: 1 April 1845, to pay the sums actually paid by the clerk but to caution him on taking this on himself. Paper number: 3195/A/1845. Poor Law Union Number 325. Counties: Town and County of Berwick-upon-Tweed and Northumberland.
