| Description | The Labour Relief committee appears to have been created to take over the responsibilities of the House Yard committee (see GP B/2/3/4), although why this change took place is unclear. Again, the committee was responsible for the administration of the Union's stone yards, including the appointment of staff and the movement of paupers into it. However, during the later minutes the committee also appears to have taken responsibility for the labour of inmates in other areas of the union. After the closing down of the stone yards, the committee was instructed to set the inmates to other tasks of work, including the building of a new road leading up to the workhouse.
The committee continued to operate up until the creation of the Union Test House in 1879-1880 (see GP B/2/3/6-8). The volume is not indexed. |
