I think it was the medieval equivalent of an asbo. Parish relief was normally given to people who were born there or aquired settlement rights for example by marrying a local man or serving an apprenticeship to a local business. Parishes were naturally reluctant to pay poor relief to migrants so they could apply for a removal order back to their parish of origin. The records often survive and can be found in the local record office. They can be quite informative. If it is your relative try googling the name on the access to archives site. Anne
