Folio 111. Letter from Poor Law Commission, to Benjamin Maund, regretting that they cannot assist in recovering any monies owed by Bromsgrove parish as the present vestry or parish officers cannot pay an account which has run on for seven years and where the last item is dated three years ago. Also the account contains certain items which cannot be legally charged against the parish. They see no reason why Maund could not have a claim on any books supplied by him provided they are still in existence. Or, if he could make out a demand to any particular individual, then there would be no reason in law to prevent him making a demand. The Commission regrets the loss that he is likely to incur but feel he is partly to blame for allowing the situation to carry on for such a length of time. The bills are returned [not included]. Paper Number: 4605/B/1839. Poor Law Union Number 526. Counties: Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Staffordshire, Shropshire.

Reference number MH 12/13904/78: Folio 105. Letter from George Coode, Assistant Secretary to the Poor Law Commission,...
Folio 105. Letter from George Coode, Assistant Secretary to the Poor Law Commission, to Thomas Day, Clerk to the Guardians of the Bromsgrove Poor Law Union, stating that the question whether parish cottages are vested in the board of guardians or in the parish officers is now before the Court of Queens Bench so they are unwilling to express an opinion. It is probable that proceedings taken under the act of 5& 6 Wm IV c 69 will have the desired effect and that course is recommended unless the property is of sufficient value to render it advisable to bring an action of ejection against the parties. In the event of summary proceedings the Guardians should give requisite notice to the occupiers in their corporate capacity affixing the corporate seal. The complaint may be made by the clerk. If it is decided to bring an act of ejectment then the title of both board of guardians and the parish officers should ensure success. Paper Number: 5247/C/1839. Poor Law Union Number 526. Counties: Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Staffordshire, Shropshire.
