Draft letter from the Poor Law Commission, to Thomas Day, Clerk to the Guardians of the Bromsgrove Poor Law Union, stating that to be a ratepayer a person must have been rated for a whole year and paid all rates due.

The churchwardens and overseers are allowed to adjourn from Thursday to the following day. Paper Number: 2209/C/1839. Poor Law Union Number 526. Counties: Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Staffordshire, Shropshire. |
