Description: | Poor Box Account Book. Contains the income and expenditure from a charity account set up by the Walsall Borough Police Court. Income was generated by donations, chiefly from Justices, the police and through a general collection box; the money was banked and then earned interest. Payments were then made to deserving cases. These could be the public in general, either individually or to institutions, to released prisoners or juveniles, or to officers of the court for the common good. Payments were given for anything from food, transport fares and lodgings to ironically paying fines. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Walsall Archives / Local History Centre | Rights holder: | Walsall Magistrates Courts | Temporal: | 1931 - 1954 | Source: | Black Country History | Creator: | Walsall Magistrates Courts | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
