Description	Folio 219. Letter from Thomas Watkins, Clerk to the Guardians of the Cardiff Poor Law Union, to Poor Law Commission. He brings to their attention the appointment of a collector for the town of Cardiff. Referring to letters sent on the 15 July 1844 and 3 August 1844 and the received reply of the 5 August 1844 that the Poor Law Commission declined to confirm the appointment on the ground of it being deemed inexpedient to do so until the Bill before parliament should have passed. As much inconvenience is experienced in consequence of there being no appointment, the board would be glad to receive an early reply to this communication. Annotated: it will be right that the order of 12 November 1838 which is not in law now in force [should] be rescinded and proceedings taken by the guardians for the due appointment for their purpose. Send the form of application and enquire what amount of salary to be paid. W G L [William Golden Lumley, Assistant Secretary to the Poor Law Commission]. 26 October 1844. Send the form of application and enquire as to the salary. G N [George Nicholls, Commissioner of the Poor Law], 28 October 1844. Paper Number: 17096/B/1844. Poor Law Union Number 613.
