Folios 311-312. Workhouse Inspection Report from Robert Weale, Poor Law Inspector, reporting his inspection of the Mansfield Poor Law Union Workhouse on 22 January 1863; includes details of medical provision, management of the school, the vagrant wards, etc. He notes that there is no new report on the school, that there are forty-one 'Protestant Dissenters' and that the vagrants are given relief by the police and sent to boarding houses. The 'Idiotic Inmates' are generally occupied but he makes a recommendation regarding Samuel Ward, an 'idiotic boy'. Weale believes he would benefit from being placed for one or two years in an institution 'at Earlswood near Reigate' but the guardians feel he is too old and do not have an alternative place. The report is generally satisfactory. Paper Number: 2953/1863. Poor Law Union Number: 337. Counties: Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. |
