Folios 213-214. Draft letter from the Secretary of the Poor Law Commission [Edwin Chadwick] to the clerk to the Guardians of the Basford Poor Law Union [William Ashton]. He acknowledges receipt of Ashton's letter of 1 February 1837 which enquired who should pay the fee of £1 1s 0s for a consultation for a pauper patient. The Commissioners' decision is that the fee must be charged to the account of the parish to which the pauper belongs. He then requests that Ashton will call the attention of the guardians of the Basford Poor Law Union to the amount of out relief ordered for the week following the meeting on the 31 January 1837, as the Commissioners feel that the amount is considerably increasing, and that it is nearly double that afforded in the adjoining Nottingham Union of a similar, though larger population. He adds that the Commissioners will be glad to receive any information Ashton may supply concerning sick clubs and benevolent societies in the Basford Poor Law Union. Paper Number: 829/C/1837. Poor Law Union Number 334. Counties: Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.

MH 12/9228/131 Folio 239. Letter from J Riley [John Riley, Auditor, Basford Poor Law Union], to...
Folio 239. Letter from J Riley [John Riley, Auditor, Basford Poor Law Union], to [Henry Smith] the Chairman of the Basford Poor Law Union. He says that the result of the audit of the union accounts for the quarter ending the 25 March 1837 is not as satisfactory as he had hoped. Firstly, the bills ordered by the board for payment are in most instances not compared with the orders given and with the articles and quantities received. Some are signed by the respective guardians as correct, even when there are errors 'to the extent of 12 Stones of Bread' in one bill, and even when the error seems apparent to the guardians. Secondly, the whole of the out relief given by the relieving officers does not appear ordered in their relief lists. In some instances it is in the minute book, but any out relief in clothing from the stock in the workhouse does not appear at all. Riley recommends keeping the out relief quite distinct from the stock accounts kept by the governor for in relief. He comments on 'the irregularity (to say the least) of relief being given to able - bodied persons, in money, by the Governor _ at the Suggestion and by direction of the Guardians', and states that if reported to the Poor Law Commissioners, some of these cases would result in 'the loss of situation to the Officers affected by it'. He adds that his aim is to be helpful, not to be 'finding of unnecessary fault with the Guardians or the Board'. Riley says that the township of Felley has been divided from the parish of Annesley at the request of Mr Gulson [Edward Gulson, Assistant Poor Law Commissioner], and each will in future contribute its separate proportion towards the expenses of the union. He recommends to the board of guardians that each parish should give the relieving officers the names of the paupers in the asylum, and that the bills for such maintenance be sent to the board of guardians, entered on the out relief lists and 'discharged by checks to the proper Officer of the Asylum - the amount being debited to the Out_Relief [of] the respective Parishes'. Referring to the 'Balances due from the Parishes', he presses the necessity for each parish to have a balance in hand to meet expenses instead of calling on the treasurer for money, and to prevent the unpleasantness of overseers being summonsed and penalties being inflicted.
