text_original: The core of the Act was the appointment of Poor Law Commissioners. The fii st Commis  sioners were the Right Hon. Frankland Lewip, Mr. Nicholls, and Mr. Shaw Lefevre, and it was these men who, together with their Secretary, Mr. Edwin Chadwick, gave the colour to the Act of 1834. The Act itself was hardly more than a cadre ; everything depended on the discretion of the Board.
