Reference number MH 12/11730/38: Folios 136-137. Letter from Harry White, Clerk to the Guardians of the Blything Poor...
Folios 136-137. Letter from Harry White, Clerk to the Guardians of the Blything Poor Law Union, to Edwin Chadwick, Secretary to the Poor Law Commission, concerning auditor's salaries, as proposed in their letter of 12 September 1836. White quotes 'that the proposed salaries of auditors in unions and districts be reduced by a quarter. The salary of the auditor of your district will now amount to £249'. White enquires if a clerical error has arisen, as he understood the rate to be £1 per annum for each parish. The district comprises 161 parishes; therefore after the proposed reduction the salary should be approximately £120. He requests an answer before the next meeting of the Board. Annotated: state in consequence of a clerical error the amount of the auditor's salary was misstated, and it will be about £120 as the guardians suppose. Paper Number: 3810/A/1836. Poor Law Union Number 432. Counties: Suffolk.

Folios 13-14. Draft letter from Poor Law Commission to R M Hodge [Richard Michell Hodge], Clerk to the Guardians of the Truro Poor Law Union, stating in charging the relief in the case of pauper Robert Stevenson: the Commission do not see that the guardians can take any notice of the question pending between the parishes of St Agnes and Kea as to the settlement of the pauper. Although the parish officers of Kea have not yet appealed against the order of removal taken out in the case of the pauper Stevenson, it would seem that they do not admit the settlement. Then the wife and children of Robert Stevenson were residing in St Agnes when the outdoor relief was given on the first occasion. So also Robert Stevenson was residing with his family in that Parish on the second occasion, when he applied for admission into the union workhouse and obtained relief in that form. Now by law the primary liability to afford relief attaches to the parish in which the destitute person is resident at the time relief becomes necessary. On this ground, the Commission consider that the parish of St Agnes is liable for the relief given on both occasions'. [Folio 15 is unused]. Paper Number: 1744/A/1847. Poor Law Union Number 57. Counties: Cornwall.
