They ask that they be allowed to form an independent union called the Olney Union. All the above mentioned places are within five miles from the town of Olney, which itself possesses a large and commodious building adequate to the objects of a house of industry and would be able to provide officers at a less expense than if joined with the union of Newport Pagnell, as well as possessing many local advantages separately from the Division of Newport Pagnell;
