4 ADVERTISEMENT. The object of the Act has undoubtedly been kindly intentioned towards the poor. Seeing, however, that it may quite as often have an opposite effect, and tend to prevent a poor man from being removed to his own parish, who in case of sickness or distress may desire to be restored to his friends, I have not scrupled to point out how he may legally accomplish such a purpose, and escape the mercies of this Act. JELINGER C. SYMONS. 1, Harcouut Buildings, Temple, August 31s£, 1846.
