Settlement examination of Joseph Paris, at present residing atWinchcomb, County of Gloucester, labourer: I was born at Carlton in Bedfordshire and am now 44 years of age. Twenty two years ago come Christmas next I entered into the occupation of a house, shop and premises in the village and parish of Chellington in Bedfordshire as a yearly tenant thereof to Rowland Alston Esquire at the rent of six pounds a year. I occupied these preises until June 1826 and was rated to and paid the poor and other rates in respect thereof. At or about Christmas 1823 I purchased these premises of Mr Alston at the price of £120 and paid the whole purchase money for them and thenceforth continued in occupation and residence thereupon as absolue owner thereof until the summer of 1825 when I sold them to Mr Coleman of Bedford at the sum of £220 but continued in occupation f them until June in the following year. I have never done any act since whereby to my knowledge or belief I could acquire a settlement. I was married 17 years ago last March (being then a widower) to Hannah Smith (my now wife) by whom I have three children now living Wiliam 17 years old now out at service, Anne 6 years old and Sarah one year old. being very unwell and unable to work I have become wholly destitute and am with my said wife and 2 youngest children actually chargeable to the said parish of Winchcomb.
