PREFACE.

THE poor-rates of England have in

creased so much of late

years,

and are

become such a burthensome tax on property, that the principles on which they are founded and computed are, at the present period, a matter of anxious inquiry. No work, exclusively on this subject, has hitherto appeared. Small patches on the liability of property to the poor's rate may be found in lawbooks; the most important of which are selected and blended with practical information in the present undertaking. The most recent decisions of cases on the poor-rates are abstracted, and it has been humbly attempted by the

Author to render this Work useful to persons concerned in the management of poor-rates, and to rate payers in general.

Wath, near Rotherham,

Jan. 26. 1828.
