Note 384 — ERRATA AND CORRIGENDA.
Reading edition
The following orders seem to show that regular relief funds could be taken for granted. A poor succourless child was left in Ossett, and Ossett was charged with many poor. The three townships of Ossett, Dewisburie and Suthill were each to pay 16/8d. for its support. Ib. p. 41.
A child came with its mother begging to Northowrom: the mother fell ill and was carried by the constable to a poor man's house in Shelfe, where she died. Northowrom was ordered to pay a shilling and Shelfe 4d. towards the relief of the child. Ib. p. 39. There are several other orders of the kind. See p. 40.
