Folios 179-180. Letter from William Swabey, Chairman of the Board of Guardians of the Newport Pagnell Poor Law Union, Clifton Hall, Olney, to the Poor Law Commission, asking the Commission to reconsider the guardians' request for permission to hold their meetings fortnightly instead of weekly. Mention is made of the grounds on which the application was determined, that magistrates petty sessions were held fortnightly to allow for the paupers appeal and that there were only three cases of application yesterday. The board's other business is seldom of pressing importance and regarding the workhouse progress at all times there are four guardians available (the vice chairman and two others who are resident nearby besides Swabey, himself) many of them members of the building committee. Annotated: Mr Adey [Daniel Goodson Adey, Assistant Poor Law Commissioner] requested to return this with his observations. How can the request can be formally granted as it would be quite contradictory to the rules and regulations which require the relieving officers' and workhouse keepers' accounts to be examined weekly. An understanding might be considered to a guardian attending once a fortnight as long as no business to take place weekly unless three guardians attending. DG Adey.

The appointment of overseers was delayed and expenses of the poor which did not amount to more than a few shillings was defrayed by the overseers. The overseers consider they were under no order from the Commission until orders came in October. Moreover they feel great prejudice from Bromsgrove and complain about the amount of the averages. They have not been shown how these sums were arrived at and thus cannot prove that they should pay no more than a fourth of the sum assigned. Paper Number: 12698/B/1840. Poor Law Union Number 526.
