PAROCHIAL SETTLEMENT BILL.
Extracts from a pamphlet communicated to us by
order of the Committee appointed by the Town
Council of Leicester, to consider and report upon Sir
James Graham's " Parochial Settlement Bill :"

CONSEQUENCES OF THE PROPOSED ALTERATION OF

THE LAW OF SETTLEMENT.

" The consequence will b-e—,-iliaCPersOns who have
gained settlements in this or any other place by ap-
prenticeship, occupation, ownership of property, or
any other means than those mentioned, and who may
from their youth have been living here as acknow-
ledged parishioners, will, by this ex post facto law,
be deprived of their present settlements, and be liable
to be removed to the place of their birth, or, if that
cannot be ascertained, to the parental settlement as
explained by the new law. This sudden and violent
disturbance and destruction of existing laws, will ne-
cessarily occasion an examination into the settlement
of all the chargeable poor throughout England,
amounting to 1,363,314 during the past year ; and it
will be impossible to discover the birth .or parental
settlements of many thousand families without sub-
jecting parishes to great expense, not only in ascer-
taining the facts, but in contesting them in courts
of justice."

CASE OF THE BOROUGH OF LEICESTER UNDER THE
PROPOSED ♦LTERATION.
" It appears, by the accounts kept of the distribu-
tion of the subscription fund raised in this borough
in the year 1840, that in the fourth week of the dis-
tribution of it, there were 1,313 families and 4,442
individuals recipients, of whom 439 families are re-
turned as belonging to parishes in Leicester, and 874
families to out-parishes. The effect of the proposed
law will be to relieve the Leicester parishes from the
settlement of all those now belonging to parishes in
Leicester, who were not born in the town ; but when
it is considered that there were 874 families who be-
longed to out-parishes, and that a large number of
the adults, and nearly the whole of their childrQn,
have been born within the town ; and, further, that
hundreds of persons who are now residing and settled
elsewhere by apprenticeship, &c., will become re-
movable to Leicester as the place of their birth-settle-
ment—an alarming increase will be given to the
locally-settled pauper population. It is probable that,
by the operation of this laW, four-fifths or five-
sixths of the poor now belonging to out-parishes will
become settled parishioners of this borough.
" This is not, however, the only part of the bill
calculated to prove severely prejudicial to this bo-
rough, and all other towns extensively engaged in
manufactures."
EFFECT OF THE FIVE YEARS RESIDENCE IRREMOV-

ABILITY CLAUSE.

" The clause which has been termed the ' quin-
quennial- ind us trial-resident-maintenance-irremovabi-
lity-clause,' will, in the course of a few years, render
a large number of those who are settled elsewhere by
birth, irremovable to their place of settlement, and
therefore entitle them to relief, and practically give
them settlement in Leicester and other 'large towns.
The clause referred to is to this effect That no
person who has resided the five years' last preceding
in any parish, and has ordinarily maintained himself
in or near thereto as a labourer, artificer, mechanic,
servant, 'or tradesman, and has not been convicted of
felony or misdemeanour, and has not during such
five years been removed under any order of justices,
shall be liable to be removed; but that no residence in
any prison, barrack, lunatic asylum, or public hospi-
tal, or while receiving relief, shall be considered either
as an interruption or as a portion of such five years.'
This provision is full of obscurities, and is alone suffi-
cient to create more controversy and litigation than
any passage containing the same number of words
has ever yet occasioned. It is not stated what time
the five years are to precede ; the words ' ordinarily
maintained himself' are equally indefinite ; nor is
there any explanation of the distance which is to be
considered as coming within' the meaning of the
words ' near' the parish ; nor is it very easy to com-
prehend what is intended by saying that no residence
in a prison, &c., or while receiving relief, ' shall be
considered either as an interruption, or as a portion of
such five years.' The obvious tendency and neces-
sary effect of this clause will be, to transfer the burden
of maintaining nearly all the poor who are not em-
ployed as labourers in husbandry, or in some degree
connected with the culture of the soil, to the great
marts for labour—the commercial and manufacturing
towns of Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Bradford,
Bolton, Nottingham, Leicester, &c., and also to bring
a proportionate increase in the number of irremovable
poor to the large manufacturing villages,. as Oadby,
Wigston, Thurmaston, Sileby, Sheepshead, &c. ;
whilst it cannot be doubted that in the smaller
parishes, particularly where the property is in the
hands of a few individuals, every practicable means
will be resorted to by pulling down cottages, &c., for
the purpose of preventing the poor becoming irre-
movable by the operation of this clause ; and it may
not unreasonably be supposed, that private assistance
will be rendered to their out-poor, so as to enable them
to maintain themselves in the large towns for the
period prescribed by this Act for rendering them irre-
movable."
