CASES

On the subject of the Poor Laws, decided since the last edition of Mr. Archbold's general work upon the subject. Those Readers who have that work, are requested to make marginal references in it to these Cases.

Relief.

1474. R. v. James Cornish. An order of justices was made upon a grandfather to pay to the overseers of the parish of Hockworthy the weekly sum of 2s. 6d. towards the support of his two grandsons, as long as they should be chargeable to the parish. It was now moved to quash this order, on the ground that it did not state that the father either was dead or unable to maintain them. But the Court were decidedly of opinion that it was not necessary to state this on the face of the order; and Lord Tenterden, C. J., and Littledale, J., were of opinion that as there was nothing in stat. 43 El. c. 2, s. 7, or 59 G. 3, c. 12, s. 26, to show that the obligation of the grandfather was absolute only in the event of the father being unable, the justices might in their discretion make the order on the grandfather, whether the father was able to maintain the children or not. 2 B. & Ad. 498. T. 1831.

Removal of the Poor.

1475. R. v. Benett and Broughton. Upon an application by the overseers of the poor for the parish of St. Luke, Middlesex, for a mandamus to two justices, to require them to sign an order or pass, for the purpose of passing an Irishwoman and her bastard child, born in St. Luke's, to Ireland, who had become chargeable to the parish; the magistrates objected that such a pass could not be granted,-not as to the child, because it being born in this country had a settlement here, and was consequently not within the meaning of stat. 59 G. 3, c. 12, s. 33,-and not as to the mother, for that would have the effect of separating the child from the mother during the period of nurture; but the Court held that although the child could not be passed, for the reason above given, yet as the act

was imperative as to the mother, the pass must be granted as to her, whatever the hardship or inconvenience might be. 2 B. & Ad. 712. T. 1831.

1476. R. v. JJ. of Carmarthenshire. An order of removal was directed to the churchwardens and overseers of the parish of Llywell, which parish however was divided into three hamlets, Treganmaur and two others, each supporting its own poor, and each having churchwardens and overseers appointed for it; the pauper and the order were in fact delivered to the overseer of Treganmaur, and that township gave notice of appeal; but when the appeal was called on at sessions, the respondents objected to its being tried, on the ground of the variance between the notice of appeal and the order of removal, the notice being by the officers of Treganmaur, and treating the order as one for the removal of the pauper to that hamlet; and the sessions on this ground refused to hear the appeal. This Court, however, upon an application for a mandamus, held that the justices ought to have heard the appeal ; for as the respondents had served the order upon the officers of Treganmaur, they had thereby estopped themselves from objecting to the appeal or notice by that hamlet. 4 B. & Ad. 563. H. 1833.

1477. R. v. Bingley. The order of removal in this case was directed to the churchwardens and overseers of the township of Bingley, instead of the parish of Bingley; the parish was divided into several townships, one of which was the township of Bingley, none of which however supported their own poor, overseers being appointed for the parish only; against this order of removal there was an appeal, and the question was whether the sessions ought not to have quashed the order, as being directed to a township for which no overseers were appointed the Court held it to be an informality, which the sessions might have amended; and they sent the order back to them for that purpose. 4 B. & Ad. 567, n. T. 1833.

1478. R. v. Bishop Wearmouth. The parish of Bishop Wearmouth is divided into seven townships, one of which is the township of Bishop Wearmouth, another the township of Bishop Wearmouth Panns; each of the townships supports its own poor, and has separate overseers, and no overseers are appointed for the parish: a pauper belonging to the township of Bishop Wearmouth Panns was removed by an order, which by mistake was directed to the churchwardens and overseers of the parish, and when the pauper was presented to the overseer of the township, he admitted that he was settled in the township, but as the order was not directed to the officers of the township, he refused to receive him, unless the removing parish would forego some expenses of maintenance which they claimed; this was refused, and the officer of the removing
