The Law of Settlement

(The Plymouth v. Axminster Guardians.)

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 February 2018

Extract

This case before the House of Lords was an appeal from an order of the Court of Appeal affirming an order of the Recorder of Plymouth on a case stated by him. The question in dispute was whether a female pauper lunatic was settled in the appellants' union. The lunatic was born at Plymouth, but had gained no settlement of her own; her mother, a single woman, was born in the defendants' union, and had acquired no settlement.
