Description (What the record is about)
-
Folio 314. Draft letter from the Poor Law Commission, to Thomas Day, Clerk to the Guardians of the Bromsgrove Poor Law Union. They say that, under the Poor Law Amendment Act s 62, the overseers of a parish can only pay for clothing, and for travel to the port of embarkation, for a family who wish to emigrate to Australia, with the consent of a [illegible] of the ratepayers and owners, confirmed by an order of the Commission. The forms are enclosed [not included]. As the family in question are currently in the workhouse, it may be difficult to procure a free passage for them, as there is an objection to taking such people under the bounty regulations; the agent arranging the travel should be consulted about this. Alternatively they could consider travel to Canada or another British colony where the cost of passage is less. They enclose two circulars about rates to Canada.
Paper Number: 6150/B/1844.
Poor Law Union Number 526.
Counties: Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire.
