Arranged and Indexed By WILLIAM GOLDEN LUMLEY, Esq. And one of the Assistant Secretaries of the Poor Law INTRODUCTORY NOTE. The Poor Law Commissioners having deemed it advisable to issue a series of General Orders to supersede the various separate Orders in force in the different Unions of England and Wales, I have thought it would be convenient to have them printed in consecutive order, together with the Instructional Letters which accompany them, and some other official documents emanating from the Commissioners which appeared to me calculated to assist persons desirous of consulting these Orders. I have not arranged them according to their dates, but in what I consider the natural order of the subjects, and for the convenience of reference I have affixed a number to each Order. They are as follows:1. The Order regulating the Proceedings of the Guardians. 2. The Duties of Officers. 3. The Regulations as to Medical Relief. 4. The Rules and Regulations for the Government of Workhouses. 5. The Prohibition of Out-door Relief to the Able-bodied. 6. The Regulation of Out-door Labour Relief. 7. The Duties of the Overseers. And to these I have subjoined the General Order issued to the Metropolitan Unions and Parishes, providing for the recovery of strayed children and insane persons. I have prefixed a Table of Contents, and have added an Index to the volume, and a few Notes and References will be found appended to the Orders and Documents, but the Commissioners have rendered all commentary upon the Orders at present superfluous, by their full and clear Instructional Letters.

To Guardians of Unions, POPULAR TREATISE on the LAW By WILLIAM GOLDEN LUMLEY, Esq. One of the Assistant Secretaries of the Poor Law PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. I prepared this small treatise for the use of guardians, overseers, relieving officers, and other persons connected with the administration of the poor law, not being members of the legal profession. As I mentioned in the introductory remark to the first edition I omitted all reference to the very numerous decisions, which are to be found in the law reports, because I considered that though they would have covered the margin of the book, they would have afforded in fact very little assistance to the persons for whose use it is designed, that course I have pursued in the preparation of this edition. I have revised the whole treatise, and have made various corrections and additions. As the principal part was printed before the end of the session, some statutes may be here noticed which could not be inserted in the body of the treatise. The 5 & 6 Vict. c. 57, s. 17, gives a short and simple form of proving chargeability in the cases of removal. The 5 & 6 Vict. c. 99, contains provisions for avoiding the indentures of apprenticeship of females employed to work in mines, and of males who are bound under the age of ten, and for a longer time than eight years. The 5 & 6 Vict. c. 113, confirms the marriages heretofore Price 4s. TH THE POOR LAW COMMISSION CON- By WILLIAM GOLDEN LUMLEY, Esq.
