172 LAISSEZ FAIRE A.D. 1776 should be introduced, as the condition of the existing houses, —18%0- especially in small parishes, was disgraceful in the extreme’, The Poor The Act of 1834, which embodied the recommendations of Law Oom- the Commissioners in a less stringent form than they would themselves have desired, was passed by large majorities® The new system did not get into complete working order for nearly ten years; but during that period, local administration was transferred to Boards of Guardians, elected for the pur- pose in each newly constituted union, and they employed salaried relieving officers’, A central authority was created in the Poor Law Commissioners, who were charged with the ad- ministration and control of public relief, and were empowered to make rules for the management of the poor, the government of workhouses, and the education and apprenticeship of poor children. Much of their time, during the first years of the Commission, was taken up with the formation of unions of parishes for the provision of workhouses, with introducing a proper classification of the inmates, and similar regulations in regard to discipline and diet, and with the laying down of orders in regard to the administration of relief. They were also given power to remove any workhouse master and any paid officer for incompetence, and without their permission no salaried officer might be dismissed. In this way the per- manent officials were taught to look to the central government for orders rather than to the local board. Permanence was assured to them only if they obeyed the orders of the central government. The Act further directed the Commissioners reformed the work- houses 1 A. Young, Conduct of Workhouses, 1798, in Annals, xxx. 887. Also the following remarks of the Commissioners. * In sach parishes, when overburthened with poor, we usually find the building called a workhouse occupied by 60 or 80 paupers, made up of a dozen or more neglected children (under the care, perhaps, of a pauper), about twenty or thirty able-bodied adult paupers of both sexes, and probably an equal number of aged and impotent persons, proper objects of relief. Amidst these the mothers of bastard children and prostitutes live without shame, and associate freely with the youth, who have also the examples and conversation of the frequent inmates of the county gaol, the poacher, the vagrant, the decayed beggar, and other characters of the worst description. To these may often be added a solitary blind person, one or two idiots, and not unirequently are heard, from amongst the rest, the incessant ravings of some neglected lunatic. In such receptacles the sick poor are often immured.” Reports. 1834, XxViI. 170. $ 4 and 5 Will. IV. ¢. 76. 8 Under the new régime the overseer was relieved of much of his responsibility and sank into the position of a rate-collector.
