    Board; and the like information in regard to their respec- tive secretaries and assistant secretaries. The Index—a most important feature in a work of this nature—has been made very voluminous and exhaustive. This work, undertaken in compliance with the wishes of the Clerks to many Boards of Guardians, is now finished; and I leave it to those for whose use it is destined to judge whether it has been well done. My acknowledgments are due to Mr. Danby P. Fry, Barrister-at-Law and Local Government Inspector, for many valuable suggestions; also for the able assistance received from Mr. Alexander Glen, B.A., LL.B., of Christ’s College, Caml)ridgc, Barrister-at-Law, in col- lecting and arranging the Cases. They have enabled me to render the work more perfect than it otherwise might have been. I have not dedicated this work in the usual stereotype manner to one individual; but I do so to the Legal Profes- sion, Boards of Guardians, Clerks to Unions, and all others locally interested in the administration of the Poor Laws.
