To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In tlie union with which he was connected there was a popul. Ition of 17, 000, and their workhouse was built to accommodate 110. The Commis- sioners sanctioned that building, though they knew very well that there were probably four or five times that number in receipt of relief. There were many very poor people in the union, which was rural throughout. This very plainly showed that it was never considered that the great mass of paupers would be put in the workhouse. He thought he had made this ...sufficiently plain, and that the facts he had stated could not be answered. He had been anxious to put his views on this point clearly before them, understanding, as he did, tliat it was the opinion of many Guardians, and the opinion, apparently, of the Poor Law Board itself, that the Act was in effect prohibitory of out-door relief, except in exceptional cases. Having seen that the fact was quite otherwise, the great question next arose, to what extent and in what way should they exercise the discretion with which they were vested.
