Description:
Content: Folios 307-308. Internal note/letter from Charles Mott [Charles Mott, Assistant Poor Law Commissioner] regarding the letter from Mr Clissold [Reverend Stephen Clissold] of the 6 October concerning relief in kind. Any mode of distributing relief in kind is objectionable and subject to 'fraud & trickery'. He believes the relief in kind should be limited to 'articles of absolute necessity', the relief should be confined to bread and flour as much as possible, contracts should be made for the supplies to be delivered by the contractor at the workhouse, that all relief in kind should preferably be given from the workhouse. In areas like the Blything Poor Law Union where they are so large as to make this inconvenient the relief should be given by the relieving officer from certain designated houses or stores. He gives an example of the form such an order could take. Poor Law Union Number 432. Counties: Suffolk.
