Governors in Dublin and Cork may exchange children.
|
XX. And whereas many of the foundling children exposed in the streets of the city of Dublin and Cork are of popish parents, and it has been found by experience, that many of such foundling children by the access of their parents and popish relations, who notwithstanding all possible care to prevent it find means to converse with them, are prevented from embracing the protestant religion: for remedy thereof be it enacted by the authority aforesaid, That it shall and may be lawful for the governours of the work-houses of the city of Dublin and Cork to exchange the children, which they shall have in their respective work-houses, or to send foundling children from one of the said work-houses to the other, as often, and in such manner, as the said governours shall agree upon and find convenient.
