1846: ELLERTON v. HARLTHORP. This was an appeal against an order for the removal of Wm. Gowthorpe, his wife and family, from the parish of Ellerton to the township of Harlethorpe. Mr. Archibald, on behalf of the respondents, was about to enter into his case, when

Mr. Dearsley stated that he had several objections to the order of removal and examinations, which he said had better be disposed of first. His first objection was that it did nut appear upon the face of the order, that the justices had examined into the settlement of the pauper; secondly, that the notice of chargeability did not show that it had been signed by a majority of the Overseers of the parish of Ellerton; and thirdly, it did not appear the examinations themselves had been taken upon the complaint of the overseers of Ellerton which was clearly necessary by the recently decided cases of the Queen v. Radcliffe Culey, and the Queen v. Molesworth. Mr. Archibald submitted that Mr. Dearsley could not enter into these objections upon his grounds of appeal, which, after much discussion, the magistrates assented to. He then addressed the bench on behalf of the respondents, on the merits of the case, and called several witnesses, who proved a hiring and service in the township of Harlethorpe, to Mr. Knapton, from Martinmas, 1820, to Martinmas 1821.

Mr. Dearsley then addressed the bench for the appellants, and called several witnesses, who established a subsequent hiring and service in theparish of Ellerton in the year 1828 with the pauper’s father. Mr. Archibald having called several witnesses to contradict the statements of the appellant's witnesses, The Bench quashed the order, thus deciding in favour of the township of Harlethorpe.
