Description:
Content: Folios 136-137. Letter from Harry White, Clerk to the Guardians of the Blything Poor Law Union, to Edwin Chadwick, Secretary to the Poor Law Commission, concerning auditor's salaries, as proposed in their letter of 12 September 1836. White quotes 'that the proposed salaries of auditors in unions and districts be reduced by a quarter. The salary of the auditor of your district will now amount to £249'. White enquires if a clerical error has arisen, as he understood the rate to be £1 per annum for each parish. The district comprises 161 parishes; therefore after the proposed reduction the salary should be approximately £120. He requests an answer before the next meeting of the Board. Annotated: state in consequence of a clerical error the amount of the auditor's salary was misstated, and it will be about £120 as the guardians suppose. Paper Number: 3810/A/1836. Poor Law Union Number 432. Counties: Suffolk.
