| Description | Folios 215-216. Letter from John Dobede Taylor, Clerk to the Guardians of the Bishops Stortford Poor Law Union, to the Poor Law Commission, regarding the sub-classification of the inmates of the Bishops Stortford Poor Law Union Workhouse. Taylor states that the guardians' proposals are for the old women to use the ward which has lately been used by women with infants and occasionally as a knitting room, and to place in the ward now occupied by old women those of bad character. Taylor also states that they do not propose, at present, to make any sub-classification of the able-bodied men. Annotated: refer to John Walsham, and, by the absence of the plans I am at a loss to understand what the proposed outlay of £1,300 is for. Paper Number: 15370/A/1847. Poor Law Union Number 167. Counties: Hertfordshire and Essex. |
