From The Times, 17 Mar 1819, posted with permission of the transcriber, Petra Michinson. Geo. REMOVAL OF PAUPERS. - On Monday last, between 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning, a poor woman, named Mary CHALMERS, expired in the coach within two miles of Kendal. The circumstances attending her death are painful to the feeling heart. Under a suspended order of removal as a pauper to a place of settlement, she was put into the coach at Carlisle, and accompanied by an overseer, for the purpose of being conducted to Warton, a distance of nearly 60 miles; but her strength proved unequal to the fatigues of such a journey, during a cold and inclement night, and the result was what we have stated above. If (as we understand was the fact) a medical gentleman gave an opinion that there was no danger in the removal, the parish officers are not to blame; but, surely, in doubtful cases, humanity dictates that the last moments of ebbing life, even in a wretched pauper, should be spent in all possible peace and comfort. - Kendal Chronicle. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
