THE POOR LAW BlLL.—This Bill came into full
operation on Saturday. Henceforward, before the removal of
a pauper, the parish to which it has become chargeable will
have to give 21 days' notice to the overseers of the place
where it has gained a settlement before it can be forwarded
there. The following question was lately submitted to the
Poor Law Commissioners by the parish of Ely Trinity
There are in the parish 1:1q Nor old men' and women be-
tween the azes of TO and 100; receiving parochial relief at
their respective homes, The poor creatures would be much
happier continuing to do so, rather than be compelled to go
into the workhouse. Are the overseers justified in continuing
such relief ? Arswer—' As to the old persons mentioned
your second question, I am directed to state to
.7,-,
that you
are justified in continuing relief to thr:l7,, in the same course
as was lawful before the passir oi the 4th and sth William IV.,
