| Description | Folios 71-72. Letter from Edward Gulson, [Assistant Poor Law Commissioner], Newark, to the Poor Law Commission giving the following points: The Duke of Newcastle who repudiates politics in the forming of the new Unions has five or six parishes in Thurgaton Incorporation. The Duke has agreed to attend the next meeting of Guardians at the workhouse to help Gulson overcome the influence of the Visitor which will have an effect at Thurgaton and Basford. He says that his Grace [Duke of Newcastle] mentioned Newark. He mentions a meeting with Mr [Denisons], who is known to Mr Hole. Hole has ascertained that Lord Manvers will attend the above meeting too. Gulson says he will send the Medical Club Rules to the Poor Law Commission. He is meeting parish officers at Bingham and then travels on to Grantham. He asks why Mr [Beacher] has two or three Guardians for each parish in the Incorporation. Beacher in his 'anti pauper system' says there are 147 Guardians in 49 parishes. [Paul Bauson] can name about 120 Guardians. The Act says that the Magistrates shall appoint one out of the three named by the parish which has not been done in Thurgaton, so who gets the vote, he asks. Bauson says that some parishes only have two Guardians. His Grace the Duke of Newcastle, Clumber, near Worsop [Worksop] wishes to have copies of the following: the Act, the Annual report, the Rules and Regulations. Gulson asks permission to send reports to the following: J M G Cheek, Evesham, [Worcestershire]; A Hartland, Evesham, [Worcestershire]; Charles Kendrick, Winchester, [Hampshire]; Richard Burlingham, Evesham, [Worcestershire]. He entreats them to take care of the Duke's books. He asks if there is an assistant poor law commissioner for Derbyshire as some of its parishes will belong to the intended Basford Poor Law Union, Mansfield Poor Law Union and Worksop Poor Law Union. Annotated in the bulk of the letter: Clause 3 - The parish to [name] these persons. Clause 7, magistrates to appoint one of the three. Paper Number: [20/1836]. Poor Law Union Number 334. Counties: Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. |
