Description:
Content: Folios 144-147. Letter from Charles Mott, [Assistant Poor Law Commissioner], Halesworth, to T Franklin Lewis [Poor Law Commissioner], enclosing a private letter from Mr Owen regarding the Hoxne Hundred, and a circular obtained from the Reverend Anthony Collett, sent to him by the Reverend J Hotham. A meeting has been called in Shadbroke for officers to prepare information to enable the board to declare the union. He has sent Hotham a courteous note informing him of it. Hotham's objections are of no consequence, and should not prevent the board of guardians from building a workhouse where there will be plenty of room to accommodate the number of poor in their own Hundreds. The investigation of the accounts of the parishes of Blything has raised points which the Board will need to consider and he will procure fresh declarations from Cosford, Blything and Wangford Hundreds including some new adjoining parishes after he has prepared the Hoxne Poor Law Union. Mott can then return to London and attend the first meeting of the Hendon Poor Law Union [Middlesex] and afterwards, if necessary, return to Suffolk to dissolve other incorporations into unions. Enclosure: a letter from Hotham stating his opinion regarding incorporating the Hundred of Hoxne. He has sent a circular to the churchwardens of the parishes of the hundred so they will not be surprised by an application from the Commissioners to consent to Incorporation. Poor Law Union Number 432. Counties: Suffolk.
