Excerpt from Practice of the Scottish Poor Law As a result of many conversations with Inspectors of Poor, Parish Councillors, and Parish officials generally, I have come to think that there is a real need for a little manual of Poor Law practice. Since the publication of Mr. Guthrie Smith's classic book some forty years ago, nothing of this kind has been attempted. It is true that Mr. Graham, in a most valuable work on Poor Law, has collected all the Acts and decisions, and linked them together with lucid notes. But Mr. Graham necessarily dwells on the strictly legal side of his subject. To one engaged in active Poor Law work, the practice appeals more strongly than the law, and accordingly the present book is more a manual of practice than any of its predecessors. In dealing with the law of Settlement and Recourse, I have endeavoured, as far as possible, to express the law in the form of general propositions, and have avoided argument upon debatable points. I have not set for myself any high aim, as I know that many Inspectors of Poor, from long experience, and from native shrewdness, have acquired such a mastery of the law of Settlement that one must not expose the weak places in his armour to the shafts of their criticism. But I am hopeful that Assistant Inspectors, Inspectors of the smaller parishes who may not have all the authorities at command, and especially new Inspectors, may find my notes useful.

Excerpt: ... appendix X Eemoval Of An Alien Who Has Become Chargeable To The Hates By Section 3 (1) (b) of the Aliens Act, 1905, a Parish Council may now obtain repatriation of the following type of alien, for whose maintenance they would formerly have been responsible: --An alien who "has within three months from the time at which proceedings for the certificate by the Sheriff are commenced, been in receipt of any such parochial relief as disqualifies a person for the Parliamentary franchise, or been found wandering without ostensible means of subsistence, or been living under insanitary conditions due to overcrowding." A Parish Council desirous to have such a person repatriated must, within twelve months after the alien has last entered the United Kingdom, institute proceedings in a Court of Summary Jurisdiction (Sheriff Court), with a view to obtaining a certificate that the alien is as described in the preceding paragraph. On receipt of this certificate, the Secretary of State (Home Secretary) "may, if he thinks fit, make an Order (in this Act referred to as an Expulsion Order) requiring the alien to leave the United Kingdom within a time fixed by the Order, and thereafter to remain out of the United Kingdom." By Section 4 (1), "where an Expulsion Order is made in the case of any alien, the Secretary of State may, if he thinks fit, pay the whole or any part of the expenses of, or incidental to, the departure from the United Kingdom, and maintenance until departure, of the alien and his dependants (if any)." Several cases have arisen under this Act. As a rule, the Parish Council, having obtained the necessary certificate from the Sheriff, have communicated with the Local Government Board, who have received the Expulsion Order from the Home Office, ...
