The other systems by which employers could partially shift to the public the burthen of paying their workmen were preferred by them.
The results of this system depended entirely upon the way in which it was administered. In the very few parishes in which the pauper was required to give as good a day's labour as any other workman would have given, and for a smaller remuneration, there were few who applied for out- door relief. In most parishes no effectual means were taken ■ to exact a full day'...s labour. There was little supervision ; nor, indeed, was it always safe to supervise. In the parish of Rancliffe, where a man was appointed to look after the work of the outdoor paupers, he had to withdraw because they threatened to drown him. Often it was regarded by Digitized byGoogk Administration of the Zah^. 21 the paupers as a matter of course that they should not work as long or as hard as the other labourers. They had been known to appeal to the magistrates against a parish officer's attempt to put them on that footing.
