Description:
Content: Folios 516-517. Draft letter from the Poor Law Commission to William Ashton, Clerk to the Guardians of the Basford Poor Law Union, regarding the appointment of Mr Ratcliffe as Medical Officer in Arnold at £50 per year. As Mr Ratcliffe is already Medical Officer of both Basford parish and the workhouse, if Arnold is added he will not be officially to discharge his duties. They therefore withhold their sanction from his appointment to the Arnold District. The Commission suggest that either the Arnold District be divided up and added to surrounding districts or Mr Bowker be re-appointed to Arnold District with a salary of £60. They also request to be informed as to what steps will be taken for the appointment of a medical officer for the Wilford District, assuming that John Smellie is disqualified. Paper Number: 8862/B/1841. Poor Law Union Number 334. Counties: Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.
