Vagabonds Act 1572
The Vagabonds Act of 1572 was a law passed in England under Queen Elizabeth I.〔14 Eliz. I c. 5〕 It is a part of the Tudor Poor Laws and a predecessor to the Elizabethan Poor Laws.
The 1572 act provided that Justices of the Peace were to register the names of the "aged, decayed, and impotent" poor to determined how much money was required to care for them. The Justices of the Peace would then assess all inhabitants of the parish for their keep. Overseers of the poor would periodically conduct "views and searches" of the poor. Those refusing to contribute to poor relief would be confined to the gaol.〔Sidney & Beatrice Webb, English Local Government: English Poor Law History Part 1, pg. 52〕
Justices of the Peace were allowed to license beggars if there were too many for the parish to provide for. Any unlicensed vagabonds were to be whipped and burned through the ear.〔Paul Slack, The English Poor Law 1531-1782 60〕 It further provided that any surplus funds could be used to “place and settle to work the rogues and vagabonds.”
Combined with the 1575 Poor Act, the 1572 act formed the basis for the subsequent Elizabethan Poor Laws.〔Paul Slack, The English Poor Law 1531-1782 18--19〕
