Show AVonio Poor Law Guardian. The number of woman poor law guardians guard-ians in England increases rapidly. In 1SS1 there were woman guardians in three of the metropolitan unions. In the present year 171 women have been elected in 101 different unions. Although Al-though candidates have not infrequently infrequent-ly been rejected in the first instance, it is a significant fact that, once elected, these woman guardians are for the most elected again and again, so that while 39 of the 171 were elected this year for the first time and mostly in new places all the others were re-elections, many for seventh, eighth and up to twelfth and thirteenth times.
