SIR—In common with many of your Readers, 1 have attentively perused the Report of the Select Committee of the I-louse of Commons on the lin portant subject of the Poor Laws, and although not so conclusive and complete us might be wished, still the Report contains much valuable information, and ninny useful hints, immediately applicable to the existing system, and evidently teudiug towards its amelioration. To enter into a detail of the respective merits of the several remedies proposed to erect and check the acknowledged growing evil, would much exceed the limits of a Letter, and 1 shall therefore, at pie sent confine myself to the consideration of nth, winch appiears to toe well adapted to accomplish. many good purposes, and to correct many grots abuses. The Committee have, among other plans, sug gested the expedient" , of appointing permanent Overseers, whose accounts shall be periodically audited ; velitied by oath before u Magistrate, slid published fur the inspection of the parishioners. 1 give the Committee due credit for giving publi city to this proposition; but 1 am afraid that must dispute their claim to its origin, as two pub fictitious are now berme me, the first printed in 1793, and the second in 1815, from which the following, extracts will prove that the same idea has long existed :-- 4 ' Of the various offices which the law imposts upon particular individual; for the bentfit of ;ncirty, there are none perhaps more important, both to the individuals who fill them, and to the community at large, than the offices of Churchwarden and Overseer. • It is important to the community, that the in terests of religion and the regulation of the poor should be promoted and preserved ; but it is more itnpurtant to the individuals whom the law appoints fur these purposes, that they should diechaige ttit-ir respective duties not only conscientiously, us the law directs, hut *0 115 their own private piopertle a I.lloilld not be injured by the various, and, in some cases, heavy penalties, which are inflicted upon the breach ur neglect of these public duties. • The sphere of life, however, in which the persons who generally till these offices are engaged. prevents thew from obtaiiiing any other knowledge of their legal duties, than that %Mull fallacious tra dition is capable of affording; aiiil they frequently eutinuit errors, which a ceintin knowledge of the law ou the subject of their employment, would enable them to avoid." The extract from the later pub:ieation, though more brief, is not less to the pul u t. •• The persons groerally appointed Overseers ale, front tht ir situations in life, wholly unacquainted with parish matters on their first entrance into that important oßirc ; and from their vaistiiming only one year, the little knowledge they audits in that short period is unavailable." No man acquainted with the nature of parish offices will controvert the truth and otight of the foregoing observations ; but at the present junciter‘ , wheat the subject of the Poor Laws 16 under the consideration of the Legislature, and the iiprect.- dented increase and magnitude of th , • I tut, a interests every wan 11/ England, it Incomes ti, e duty of every well-wisher to 111$ country to publish such information as he may have derived from at. tuation, observation, and experience. In most parishes, but more especially in and near the metropolis, the station of Overseer is filled either by independent gentlemen, ur by tradesums of small incomes, annually elected. %%lien a man of the former class happens to be Overseer, the iiiterests of the poor, and of the pa rishioners at hinge, are secured against the effects of peculettioo, fraud, sad chicanery; but, ou tkie Ultict
