- Content
- Folios 156-158. Letter from H Manners Sutton, Whitehall [London], under the direction of James Graham, Home Secretary, to the Poor Law Commission, enclosing a letter from the Military Secretary to the Commander in Chief, recommending hiring the Burslem Workhouse as a temporary barrack at a rent of £75, the sum demanded by the guardians. The Commission is requested to inform James Graham whether they object to the proposal. Enclosure: Letter from Fitzroy Somerset, Horse Guards [London], dated 13 September 1845, to H M Sutton [H Manners Sutton]. The arms of the outpensioners of the Newcastle District are temporarily in the Stoke [Stoke on Trent] Police Station, and not under immediate military protection. The Lieutenant General commanding the Northern and Midland District concluded that the Burslem Workhouse, where an infantry company has been stationed for several years, could accommodate 2 companies of infantry, and recommends that the government should hire the workhouse to house a permanent military force. The Secretary of War has approved Burslem as an out pensioner station, and the Commanding Royal Engineer approves the premises, fitting of which will cost under £150. The guardians ask a rent of £75, but £21 will be saved by withdrawal from temporary barracks at Newcastle [Newcastle under Lyme]. The Commander in Chief asks for the matter to be brought to the attention of the Secretary of State, and that if he approves he will communicate with the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury. Annotation: Mr Weale [Robert Weale, Assistant Poor Law Commissioner], stating that there is no legal objection, and citing 5& 6 Wm 4 c 69 s 3. Paper number: 12694/B/1845. Poor Law Union Number 415. Counties: Staffordshire.
