POOR LAWS.

The Editor of The Sun, who showed his libera-
lity in the promotion of the investigation of truth,
by printing, on the 26th inst., the reward of 501., is
now requested to favour, by insertion, the following
extract of a letter to Lord Althorp

MY LORD,-Since your Lordship, in your introductory
speech on the Poor Law Bill, in the handsomest manner
invites communication on the subject, I venture to state
that in this parish, where the rates have been for many
years 16s. in the pound of two-thirds rental, last year, by
the adoption of a labour rate, they were reduced to 9s. 6d. ;
but a more permanent relief, in my humble opinion, would
be, letting labourers hire land at a fair rent near their cot-
tages, by which owners would be no losers, as such rents
are punctually paid, and the Poor Rates reduced.
The enormous abuses of the Poor Laws have arisen
from the legislative error of intrusting tenants with the
management of the rates, instead of committing them to
the owners, who are interested in preventing mal-appro-
priation.
In Scotland, your Lordship probably knows, the her--
tors (landowners) or their proxies, are the sole managers
of the funds for the poor, and hence, whilst in England
the Poor Rates are an intolerable burden, in Scotland they
are hardly perceptible.
In a parish in the Highlands of Scotland, which is a
fair specimen of the whole (with which I am well ac-
quainted) consisting of about two thousand inhabitants,
the whole rates raised amount to no more than 501. per
annum, a great proportion of which is raised at the church
doors.

I have for many years felt a deep interest in the welfare
of the labouring class, and used my individual exertions
for bettering their condition, which I hope will plead my
excuse for now addressing your Lordship, and, with the
sincerest respect, I remain
Your very humble servant,
J. ALEX. ROSS.
Westvvell Vicarage, near Maidstone, May 7, 1834.
