Note 271 — Chapter VII · THE REMEDIES OF 1795

See Debates in Senator, March 31 and April 3, 1800, and Parliamentary Register. Cf. for removals for temporary distress, Sir Thomas Bernard’s Charge to Overseers in the Hundred of Stoke. Bucks. Reports on Poor, vol. i. p. 260. ‘With regard to the removal of labourers belonging to other parishes, consider thoroughly what you may lose, and what the individual may suffer, by the removal, before you apply to us on the subject. Where you have had, for a long time, the benefit of their labour, and where all they want is a little temporary relief, reflect whether, after so many years spent in your service, this is the moment and the cause, for removing them from the scene of their daily labour to a distant parish, etc.’ (1798).
