• A pauper was considered to be the responsibility of his parish of legal settlement when in need of parish relief.  
• An order would be made for him to be "removed" to his last parish of legal settlement
• He could be escorted there by the Constable (being passed from parish to parish and handed over at the boundary)
• These documents are often found in the Parish Chest or mentioned in Quarter Sessions
