Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Assurance Magazine, and Journal of the Institute of Actuaries, 1866, Vol. 12 The Marquis of Lansdowne would have ventured even further. In 1861 he introduced a Bill - a permissive one - empowering a parish, or union of parishes, to vote from the poor rates one-fourth part of the yearly contributions of the members. This Bill is founded upon one amended in Committee in the year 1818, the preamble of which propounded, that with a view to the reduction of the poor rate, and to the gradual introduction of a better feeling among the people, it was desirable, that special encouragement and facility should be afforded to meritorious and industrious persons for rescuing themselves from the necessity Of an appeal to parochial relief. Thus repeatedly and emphatically has the interference Of Govern ment, or Of the local authorities, been advocated.
