MH 12/16247/185 Folio 264. Draft Letter from the Poor Law Commission to Thomas Watkins, Clerk to...
Folio 264. Draft Letter from the Poor Law Commission to Thomas Watkins, Clerk to the Guardians of the Cardiff Poor Law Union, acknowledging their letter of the 24 January 1845. Regarding the system of medical relief in the Cardiff Poor Law Union - the board of guardians have not thought it necessary to comply with the regulations 16, 17 and 18 of the General Medical Order; and that the medical officers are paid by salary and not per case. The Commissioners make the point that the object is that medical relief is obtained by permanent paupers without having to obtain an order for every visit of the medical officer. The Commissioners request that the board of guardians will bring these regulations into effect as soon as possible and the total number of permanent paupers listed and forwarded to them. Paper Number: 1197/B/1845. Poor Law Union Number 613. Counties: Glamorganshire and Monmouthshire.

MH 12/13904/27 Folios 34-35. Letter from [Henry Walter Parker], Assistant Secretary to the Poor...
Folios 34-35. Letter from [Henry Walter Parker], Assistant Secretary to the Poor Law Commission, to Mr Vincent, Assistant Overseer, Redditch, giving his opinion as to whether a ratepayer who is not entitled to vote is eligible to be elected as guardian. He states that the proviso in the 40th section of the Poor Law Amendment Act stating that no person shall be deemed a ratepayer unless he has been rated to relief of poor for a whole year and has paid the parochial rate assessment for that period in no way affects the qualification to be a guardian. The qualification of a guardian is not that he should be a ratepayer but that he should be rated. To be a ratepayer includes several requisites and only one of these is that he should be rated. The Commission is satisfied that to be qualified as a guardian it is sufficient that the person be on the rate book at the time of election even though he has not made any payment. They are of the opinion that a court of law will construe a qualification liberally and not strictly and will not constrict the choice of the voters. Paper Number: 2231/C/1839. Poor Law Union Number 526. Counties: Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Staffordshire, Shropshire.
