Content: Folios 605-606. Letter from Edward Senior, Assistant Poor Law Commissioner, Cuckney to the Poor Law Commission responding to the points raised by J Riley, Auditor to the Basford Poor Law Union, Papplewick, in his audit report [not included]: 1. That the expense incurred by the Beeston overseer in apprehending a man who had absconded from the workhouse with union clothes should be paid out of establishment funds if legally presented to Riley. 2. That the Poor Law Commission should send a letter to William Ashton, Clerk to the Guardians of the Basford Poor Law Union, reminding him to be more thorough in his reporting of applications for relief following an incorrectly reported case of an able-bodied Pauper as an exception to the prohibitory order. 3. That the board of guardians to the Basford Poor Law Union and Riley suggest that five years should be the limit for age of nurture. 4. Obvious illegal payments to non paid officers approved by the board of guardians to the Basford Poor Law Union should in extreme cases be taken out of the clerk who draws the cheque's salary. He finishes with much praise for Riley. Annotated: former papers. Paper Number: 11159/B/1841. 11079/B/1841. Poor Law Union Number 334. Counties: Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.
