Peter Marshall:
Magistrates were required in 1840 to provide lodgings for vagrants who were being returned to Ireland Scotland or the isles of Man and Scilly. Vagrants were moved from the offices at Croft Head to Liverpool for onward transfer. The office was later established in Westgate. (notes from Ripon Museum Trust)
