  • The Pauper Inmates Discharge and Regulation Act 1871 (34 & 35 Vict c 108), sometimes called the Pauper Inmates Discharge and Regulations Act 1871, was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which related to the Poor Law system.

There's no evidence that this stopped Paupers from discharging themselves furiously although it limited the number of times they could leave in one week. Potentially the strongest discipline against these Paupers was the guardian's increasing powers to take their children away from them especially after the Children Act 1908, but guardians who cared more about economy rarely adopted this strategy unless the children were abused physically or neglected.
