[44] "In view of the subsequent history of the law as to casual paupers, it is matter for regret that Parliament should have thus abandoned the older tradition by which county authorities were charged with a responsibility for vagrants nearly akin to the responsibility falling on parochial authorities in respect of ordinary paupers" (Vagrancy Report, section 260).
[45] The way-ticket system appears likely to pass into legislation (see sections 173-182, Vagrancy Report).
[46] The Gloucestershire way-ticket system is described in sections 160, 161, 176, Vagrancy Report.
[48] It will be seen that these recommendations are in substance adopted by the Committee, Appendix II.
[49] This is also practically adopted in Report (see sections 221, 222, 224).
[50] "The short period during which, on an average, a colonist stays at Hadleigh, and the absence of any power of detention, militate against the possibility of financial success" (Vagrancy Report, section 267).
[51] Only 158 remained in Hadleigh Colony more than six months of 523 persons received during the two years ending September, 1904. Sixty "satisfactory" cases were readmitted later (Vagrancy Report, sections 263, 264).

[53] See sections 268-271, Vagrancy Report, also Appendix III.
[54] The "way-ticket" system will partly meet this need, but it cannot be properly met with without the provision of better lodging-houses, well-regulated and sanitary.
[55] See sections 403-409, Vagrancy Report, Appendix IV. and VII.
[56] "We are strongly of opinion that some better provision should be made to assist the man genuinely in search of work" (section 155).
[57] "It is most important to remove the excuse for casual almsgiving" (section 155). (See also sections 385-388.)

[59] The comprehensive scheme for labour colonies is outlined in sections 227-286, Vagrancy Report.
[60] "The general principle of a compulsory labour colony on habitual vagrants may be borrowed from abroad, but the essential details must be worked out at home." The proposal is to bring subsidised philanthropic institutions to bear on the problem, but to form one State colony for vagrants (Vagrancy Report, sections 277-305).
