Weekly returns (Form A) made first to the Assistant Poor Law Commissioner and later (from M4/2/2 in this collection) to the Poor Law Inspector. They are returns of 'indoor and 'outdoor' paupers, giving detail of the number of inmates of the Manchester, Blackley and Prestwich workhouses and the amounts of relief given in the several relieving districts. The returns to the Poor Law Inspectors have also returns of vagrants relieved and lunatics cared for in asylums.
