- Content
- Folios 192-193. Draft letter from the Poor Law Commission to J Riley [John Riley], Auditor of the Basford Poor Law Union. They acknowledge receipt of Riley's letter of 17 January 1837 concerning the audit of the accounts of the Basford Poor Law Union, which they find satisfactory. They have also received the abstracts of the accounts and the details of other expenses from the various parishes for the last quarter. They intend to make comments on these to the board of guardians, and will send a copy to Riley for his 'information and guidance at the ensuing Audit'. With reference to Riley's observations respecting the method of paying the bills due to the Lunatic Asylum, the Commissioners agree that payment of these bills by the overseers is 'irregular', but think they should be paid by the clerk, on the instructions of the board of guardians, and not by the relieving officers as Riley suggests. With regard to the accounts of Selston parish, the Commissioners state that the parish officers 'must make up their Accounts and bring in the Balance'. Riley is to report back if they fail to do so, and, in this situation, the Commissioners will send 'an admonitary letter to them, or take such other steps as the case may call for'. Paper Number: 525/C/1837. Poor Law Union Number 334. Counties: Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.
