Overseer of the poor
An overseer of the poor was an official who administered poor relief such as money, food, and clothing in England and various other countries which derived their law from England.
==England==
In England, Overseers of the Poor administered poor relief such as money, food and clothing as part of the Poor Law system. The position was created by the Act for the Relief of the Poor of 1597.
Overseers of the Poor were often reluctant appointees who were unpaid, working under the supervision of a Justice of the Peace. The law required two Overseers to be elected every Easter, and churchwardens or landowners were often selected.
The new system of poor relief reinforced a sense of social hierarchy and provided a way of controlling the 'lower orders'.〔(The 1601 Elizabethan Poor Law )〕 Overseers of the Poor were replaced in the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, and replaced with Boards of Guardians, although Overseers remained in some places as a method of collecting the poor rate.〔Rees, Rosemary, Poverty and Public Health, 1815–1948, p3, ISBN 0-435-32715-1〕
