SECT. XXVI.] RESULTS OF THE INQUIRY. 295 



bitants of their parish who may, on behalf of themselves, 

 or of themselves and their families, demand such tickets 

 from them, and also, where necessary, to procure means 

 for passing such persons to the depot ; that -it shall also 

 be their duty to pass all persons whom they may take up 

 under the provisions of the Act already referred to, to a 

 penitentiary ; that it shall also be their duty to cause all 

 foundlings to be sent to nurse to some remote place, 

 under such regulations as Parliament may think proper to 

 appoint, and when of a suitable age, to cause them to be 

 removed to an, emigration depot, from whence they may 

 be sent to an institution in some British colony, which 

 shall be appointed for receiving such children, and train- 

 ing and apprenticing them to useful trades or occupations ; 

 and that they shall be authorized to provide in like man- 

 ner for all orphan children ; and that the funds for these 

 purposes be raised by local assessment. 



We further recommend, that provision shall be made 

 at each depot for receiving such persons as may present 

 tickets of admission to it from any officers of health ; that 

 such persons shall be there supported and set to work 

 until the period of emigration arrives, subject to such re- 

 gulations as the Poor Law Commissioners shall appoint 

 for the purpose ; and that if any such persons shall be 

 found from age or infirmity unable to emigrate, they shall 

 be provided for in such manner as the Commissioners 

 shall direct. We recommend that any persons who may 

 enter the emigration depot, and who may afterwards with- 

 draw from it without discharging such expenses as may 

 have been incurred with respect to them, or who shall 

 refuse to emigrate, shall be subjected to the provisions we 

 have recommended with respect to vagrants.
