Folios 311-312. Letter from the Reverend Stephen Clissold, to the Poor Law Commission. Their letter of 9 October will be put before the guardians with a view to the adoption of parochial task work instead of outdoor allowances for the ablebodied, and the gradual substitution of the workhouse system. He feels it essential for the efficient discharge of the duties of the relieving officer that such an officer be in communication with a well regulated police. He mentions the very inefficient manner in which the constables duties are discharged in the rural districts and feels many of them are unfit for their office. He thinks the coming winter may cause more disturbances and wonders if a rate to defray the establishment of three or four police officers would be sanctioned. He asks if there is a way of reducing the expense of sending families to the manufacturing districts. Included is a draft letter from the Commission to Clissold, forwarding printed copies of a letter from the minister of Princes Risborough [Buckinghamshire] in which a detailed account is given of the expenses incurred by the parish in sending large numbers of paupers to Manchester [Lancashire] [not included]. It is much less than is required to enable them to emmigrate to America. There is a note to send copies of 'Leslies pamphlets', reports, the special constables and workhouses acts, to Harry White, Clerk to the Guardians of the Blything Poor Law Union. Poor Law Union Number 432. Counties: Suffolk.
