Poor Removal Act 1795
The Poor Removal Act 1795, sometimes called the Removal Act 1795, was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which modified the Settlement Act 1662, an act which concerned when a pauper could receive poor relief. The effect of the Removal Act was "that no non-settled person could be removed from a parish unless he or she applied for relief." The Act stated that the earlier settlement certificate system "hath been found very ineffectual".
