11IPOR1ANT PARISIi Call*.
•:-..iisn— .4 11,
At Woodbridge Sessions, an appeal iiiir heard
against the accounts of the late Churchwarden and
Overseers of the parish of Hollesley, for Poor Rates.
The Rev. William Bolton, Appellant, Mr. Jeptha
Waller, Churchwarden, and Mr. Robert Barthropp,
and Mr. Henry Lloyd, Overseers, Respondents.
Mr. NOLAN, for the Appellant, said, a case of
more importance to the county, or to the country,
could trot (mist. The sums collected for the poor
•ere either not paid, or were paid collusively, ander
the name of relief, but really for wages, for very ins.
proper purposes. Of such saws only those which
were paid to the Officers' labourers were required.
Mr. Nolan said, he should prove that those Officers.
(the Respondents) employed the greater part of the
labourers of the pariah, that the labourers were able,
to work, and that there was no want of work. In
the year from April 1817 to March 1818, the wage,
were lowered to 9s. to 69. 3s. and even to Is. arrall
the remainder paid out of the ..rate. These Officer•
employed other labourers, not parishioners, sod
single men, at proper wages. Jollye, for half ayear
had full wages, but then,as sone as it was discovered
that he belouged to Hollealey, his wages were lower
ed. Smith, when he worked in Ilollesley, bad low
wages, when in another parish, he had full wages.
Bridges received 134. per week, part of which, con-
trary to his knowledge, was from the parish; be
was thus made a pauper against his will. In conse-
quence of these proceedings large farmers were be.
refitted, and such small ones*, employed no men, or
few, and shopkeepers, and other; basin no land,
such persons as ought to be the peculiar objects of
protection, were obliged to pay, by way of rates, the
wages of the large occupiers The Appellant is rated
to one.foorth of the whole pariah, and has about 27
err, sof land. It will be proved, that this method
of paying the labourers was used to lessen the value
of the Rector's tythe. .
Johu Spalding was then sworn, he was a la-
bourer in Hollesley, with Mr. Barthropp from
March till harvest ; his wages were is. per day,
told made Iss. 6,1. in all; he received this from
eirthropp; understood Is. per day from his own
pocket, and the rest from the parish; he re.
tilted those wages from March till June, when
his girl went to service; he then received 13s. Od.
Mr. Barthropp employed twenty.two men; does not
know how many acres Mr.Barthropp occupies; there
Was no went of work in Hollesley at the time when
he received 15s. 6J. or 13s. 63.
Some items were then read from the parish book,
to prove that Mr. Barthropp had entered 111.78.944.
as relief paid to this man.
• William Richardson Was then sworn. His eels
deuce wns very similar to that of J. Spalding ; bolt be.
sides what he proved respecting himself, he proved
_that about twenty-seven persons givlog their names,
*ere similarly employed by Mr. Barthropp. Eight
ether persons gave similar evidence of working for
one or other of the Parish Officers.
