He asks for a settlement of his claim. He also notes that there is no security guaranteeing the orders will arrive at their destination. Annotated: is the officer required to do it. He is not impelled to give them up. Prepare a letter. Also annotated on a separate note: is a medical officer legally bound to show the guardians the orders? Can he refuse a reasonable request? The board ought not to ask to have the orders delivered to them. A middle way is advised. Paper Number: 5456/B/1845. Poor Law Union Number 530. Counties: Worcestershire, Staffordshire and Shropshire.
