Synopsis
A True State Of The Case In Respect To The Late Disputes In The Parish Of St. Leonard's Shoreditch, Concerning The Poor's Rates: With A Narrative Of The Proceedings Both In The King's-Bench And At Hick's-Hall, &C. With Some Observations Thereon. By A ParishionerThis pamphlet records a protracted dispute over how the poor were funded in the large parish of Shoreditch during the early 1740s. It explains the parish's three division structure with multiple overseers and churchwardens, and contrasts discretionary rates with a proposed uniform Pound Rate. The text recounts a sequence of over-rates in 1740-1743, their alleged partiality, and the resulting appeals and judicial actions, including a mandamus from the King’s Bench and proceedings at Hicks Hall. It documents aggressive distraints, forced seizures of goods, and rough handling of residents, and it criticizes the conduct of officers who collected or profited from rates. The work argues that a Pound Rate is fairer and more reliable, calls for accountability and settlement of accounts, and describes potential reforms to prevent future abuses in parish finances.
