THE NEW POOR LAW A FAILURE

(From Oastler's Fleet Papers.)
Is it not true, that, in the agricultural districts, it was
(although not sanctioned by law) the custom, under the Old
Law, to pay the labourerers their wages partly out of the
pockets of their employers, and the residue out of the poor-.
rates ?

Was no

t such misappropriation of the poor-rates in the
it districts one very strong argument adduced by
of the New Poor Law for its enactment?
lend that we can have no difference of opinion on

ath, which everybody in the manufacturing
of Yorkshire and Lancashire will confirm, that in
tricts, under the Old Poor Law, such misapprupria-
le poor-rate was unknown.
r all these facts in mind, read the following, and theu
E! why the New Poor Law shoald any longer be main-
-1 under the pretence of preventing the appropriation
poor-rates to the wages of the working people ?
other day, a magistrate of the West Hiding of York-
did me the honour to call here. Without being asked,
mmnnicated the following very important fact to me.
friend the magistrate said, (you will remember he is
an ex-officio guardian, so I could not have better authority,)
"In our Union [Bradford] we have now begun to eke out
wages of our factory workers with an addition from the
•-rates. A case came before us of this nature : when I
firmed it to the relieving officer, he assured me ' the case
ated, but of frequent occurrence.' "
if the friends of the New Poor Law are reason-
this fact will be enough to convince them that
