Abstract:
The expenditure for the relief of the poor in England and Wales
during the year ended Lady-day, 1851, amounted to #4,962,704,
being a decrease of #432,318, or 8 per cent, as compared with the
expenditure of the preceding year. The sum expended in the year
ended Lady-day, 1851, amounted to 5s. 6d. per head on the
population, and in the preceding year to 6s. 1d., being a decrease
of 7d. per head.
In two counties a small increase has taken place in the expenditure
of 1851, as compared with that of 1850; but in all the other
counties there has been a decrease.
