No. XLI. FOR JANUARY, 1799. ORIGINAL COMMUNICATIONS. To the Editor of the Monthly Magazine. I SIR, Should not trouble you with any further obfervations relative to Mr. Good, if the point in difcuffion between us, did not appear to me to be one in which the public are at this time particularly interested. Mr. Good afferts, that it is impoilible to perufe the Shrewfbury account, without deducing the extraordinary conclufion, that the poor there are fupported, upon terms incomparably lower than in any other part of the kingdom. Surely this is diuingenuous! -The fact I ftated was, that the poor were fupported here in 1791, for one fhilling and fixpence halfpenny each, per week; and I ftated this fact in that very year 1791, when the first edition of the account of the Shrewsbury House was published. After dwelling much at large, on the circumftance relating to the mortality of our children, Mr. Good again adverts to this charge, and obferves that in the year 1794, it appears from the accounts, that our poor coft us in provifions upwards of two fhillings each per week; notwithstanding which, he fays, Mr. Wood now attempts once more to state the certainty with which the poor are maintained, at the weekly rate of one shilling and fixpence halfpenny each. All this may, for ought I know, difplay Mr. Good's great skill in the arts of a Controverfialist; but it is that kind of acumen, which I do not feel the leaft ambition to acquire, or the leaft inclination to exercife. I have afferted, and I do now again affert, that this fact, refpecting the coft of provifions for our poor in 1791, was correctly stated from actual experiment, made by very intelligent gentlemen then in the direction.' And if the poor at Norwich (where fome of the prime neceffaries are confiderably dearer than with us) were maintained, as is undeniably proved by the report of the guardians, the tuft year, for one fhilling and eleven pence each per week; the difference furely will not appear fo very extraordinary, when the confiderable advance on provifions that has taken place ince 1791, is taken into the account; and alfo, that one third of our poor in that year, were young children. 66 But the fact in which the public is chiefly interested, is this. Mr. Good MONTHLY MAG. No. XLI. [VOL. VII. ftated the cost of the poor at Norwich in provifions, at 2s. Iod. and at Shrewibury at 38. 1 each, per week. It appears, however, that the poor at Norwich were actually fupported the last year for IS. 11d. each; and, I am enabled to add, are now fupported in the Shrewsbury House, for 1s. 9d. each, per week. Mr. Good may perhaps be inclined again to "deduce extraordinary conclufions" from this affertion. It is neceffary therefore I should fupport it by a deduction of particulars. And, however lightly Mr. Good may hold attempts to deceive or mislead the public :-for he cannot "trace any feverity" in bringing forward fuch a charge against me.-I truft your readers will give me credit, when I affure them, that I regard all fuch mireprefentations with the utmost abhorrence. We have a contract with the butchers, by which they ftipulate to ferve the house (a certain number each week by rotationwith meat at 21d, per pound; to be in) fpected by the directors; and for that pur pofe fent up on the mornings of the board days: fuch as is not approved of, to be returned. As the board day falls out two days after the market-day, they have an advantage in difpofing of fuch meat as is left upon hand provided it be of good quality. The infpection of the directors operates as a check upon all attempts to fend in improper meat, and the publicity of the tranfaction, impofes caution upon the butchers, who would fuffer in their reputation by any abufe. Whenever that is attempted, the meat is always returned. To this contract, twenty-feven of our butchers have affixed their fignatures. We buy our corn at 6s. 8d. per bushel of 75 pounds: each bufhel yields from 58 to 60 pounds of fine batch flour. The prefent confumption is bufhels per 30 week. We brew our own beer, of two forts; the fmall beer lies us in 3d. per gallon, the better fort in iod. per gallon. The amount of each week's confumption is 134 gallons of fmall, and 22 gallons of better drink. Two days in the week, the poor drink (kimmed milk in the winter, at their dinners, and in the fummer whey: the produce of our own dairy. The weekly allowance of fkimmed milk, is 156 gallons. We fell the butter made from the cream; and estimate the skim A med |
