Description:
Content: Folios 254-256. Letter from Edward Jackson, [Medical Officer to the Kidderminster Poor Law Union], to the Poor Law Commission. Jackson states that he has never previously been asked to deliver orders to the board, whom he considers has acceded its authority. The usual course is to present only disputed claims. He asks for a settlement of his claim. He also notes that there is no security guaranteeing the orders will arrive at their destination. Annotated: is the officer required to do it. He is not impelled to give them up. Prepare a letter. Also annotated on a separate note: is a medical officer legally bound to show the guardians the orders? Can he refuse a reasonable request? The board ought not to ask to have the orders delivered to them. A middle way is advised. Paper Number: 5456/B/1845. Poor Law Union Number 530. Counties: Worcestershire, Staffordshire and Shropshire.
Date: 18 Apr 1845
