Description	Folios 389-390. Letter from J Rees Mogg [John Rees Mogg] and W Rees Mogg [William Rees Mogg], Clerks to the Guardians of the Clutton Poor Law Union, to the Poor Law Commission, regarding Anthony Horler of Camerton, his wife and six small children who were receiving relief in the workhouse due to a fractured thigh. They left the house and retuned to his work in Wales, but found that his injury had not healed enough to continue working so Horler returned to the Clutton Workhouse to the care of the medical attendants leaving his wife and children in Wales. The guardians granted relief of seven shillings per week but as it was more costly to move his family back from Wales they were left in Wales. The Rees Moggs ask if the action they had taken was correct. Annotated: the Commissioners think that under the circumstances the guardians issued the best course of action and sanction the relief given to the wife and family. Paper Number: 6009/B/1840. Poor Law Union Number 325. Counties: Town and County of Berwick-upon-Tweed and Northumberland.
