An account of the expenses of the Poorhouse in Winterton
The number
of Paupers maintained in the House continue to vary, sometimes we have more than thirty, at other times not more than eighteen or twenty, at present we have twenty one, the earnings from their labour is very small
as they are chiefly invalid………
The employment for the time past have chiefly been house labour.
There are 6 men, 10 women and 5 children, their names and ages are as follows……..

ELECTION OF GUARDIANS
The counting of the votes given during the election of Guardians for Scunthorpe and Winteringham, the only two parishes
in the Union in which contests have taken place, was completed last week, with the following result: - Scunthorpe, J. Mundey 146, J. H. Dawes 141 (both elected), R. Driffill 89, C. A. Cheesman 64;
Winteringham, W. Marshall 47 (elected), Jos. Burkill 38, J. Watkin 14, E. Brumby 16. The old Guardians were Messrs Mundey and Dawes for Scunthorpe, and Mr Burkill for Winteringham.
From the Hull Packet 24th August 1883
DAWSON'S DEFALCATIONS.- At a meeting of the Brigg Board of Guardians on the 16th, a letter was read from Mr Jabez Spencer, overseer of the poor for the parish
of Winteringham, requesting the guardians to allow the last payment of the union call to be put off until the 29th September, stating as his reason for the application that the defalcations of Mr Wm.
Dawson, who recently absconded, had made dreadful work among the small farmers in the parish.
The application was granted, the Chairman remarking that he knew that a number of small farmers had suffered heavy losses through Dawson. - It is alleged that some of the frauds committed by Dawson were of a most ingenious and impudent character, and that he actually broke open his children's money boxes, and in place of the several pounds which he abstracted he left in them some worthless cheques. It is also rumoured that he was seen in Winterton on Wednesday night, and at Doncaster on Thursday, when it was supposed that a warrant was out for his arrest, but there is a strong feeling in the district that no effort has been made to secure him. The girl who is supposed to have accompanied him it is said still corresponds with her friends. We were erroneously informed last week as to the last text from which he preached before his absconding. It is the latter part of the 1st verse of the 63rd chapter of Isaiah. The delinquent possessed a remarkable memory, and has long been known as a pulpit plagiarist.
