Folio 344. A draft of a letter from the Poor Law Commission to Charles Bond Secretary to the Axminster Poor Law Union on the subject of emigration expenses for Colyton parishioners, raised in his letter dated the 7 July 1846 The Commission acknowledges the receipt of a copy of a resolution (Form B) to raise £15.00 from the poor rate to assist with the travel expenses of John Carter and his family to Canada, adopted at a Vestry meeting in Colyton parish. The Commision asks, in response to a request that it sanction the resolution, how the Guardians intend to administer the emigration in order to ensure adherence of the Commissions to the regulations, because the sum requested is insufficient for the travel expenses to Canada of a family of eight people. It emphasises that the Guardians must not permit the emigration to take place before the Commission issues a sanctioning order with its number and seal. Otherwise, to raise money from the poor rate for that purpose will be unlawful. The Commission expresses the opinion that the Guardians are required to control this emigration and to present a statement of the contemplated expenditure. Poor Law Union Number 76.
