Folio 328. Letter from Thomas Day, Clerk to the Guardians of the Bromsgrove Poor Law Union, to the Poor Law Commission, about a female domestic servant from Redditch who is in custody for concealing the birth of her illegitimate child.

Annotated: the overseers do not have powers to prosecute or to meet the costs from the poor rate.
