2. British. A pass issued by a Poor Law union (union n.² 15a) to a destitute person in search of work so as to distinguish him or her from a vagrant or beggar. Also known as a waybill (see waybill n. 3).The passes were part of an attempt by Poor Law unions to reduce vagrancy and begging. They were issued to inmates of a casual ward in a workhouse who were able to demonstrate the willingness and intention to find work. Ticket-holders were allowed to leave the casual ward in the morning (without being required to stay and labour within the workhouse) provided they travelled to a destination and followed a route detailed on the pass; the pass also typically granted the holder access to a further casual ward at the destination, and entitled him or her to a meal of bread and cheese at some point on the route. At the same time, local ratepayers were instructed to give food only to ticket-holders and not to others who begged. This way-ticket system was first adopted in Gloucestershire in 1866.

1867 Hull Packet & E. Riding Times 8 Nov. What the ratepayers and inhabitants of the county are asked to do is to give to no tramp who cannot produce a way-ticket.

1894 Charity Organisation Rev. Dec. 574 From this report it would appear that the way ticket had but little to do with the reduction in the number of casuals, and that the decrease was mainly owing to the magistrates and police having been roused to carry out the Vagrant Act more strictly than they had hitherto done.

1906 Westm. Gaz. 27 Feb. 4/1 Men really in search of work would be given ‘way tickets’ for definite routes... Holders would be entitled to lodging, supper, and breakfast at the casual ward.

1977 Eng. Hist. Rev. 92 71 Way-tickets were further defended on the grounds that they would eliminate the insidious practice of indiscriminate almsgiving.
