Description:
Content: Folio 719. Letter from Edward Senior [Assistant Poor Law Commissioner], [Cuckney] to the Poor Law Commission. He objects to the provision of beer to pauper inmates as they should be no better fed than the labouring poor who have to maintain themselves. This applies particularly in Basford where the wages of stocking makers are miserably low whilst the dietary of the workhouse is high in quality and quantity. He hopes that the resolution not be confirmed. The alteration did not originate from the medical officer. Paper Number: 12796/B/1841. Poor Law Union Number 334. Counties: Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.
