Maybe it doesn't mean anything, and is just the initials of someone who needed to verify something for some reason?

Hi, the H.C. was written in the same ink and hand as the date of exit, so I don't think it was just someone's initials. Thanks for replying, Jo

I know this is a really old thread, but I have an "H Call" by someone I'm researching who left St Pancras in 1826. Looking over the other pages, it looks like it means "house call", and is variously written H C, H Call etc. I still don't know what that means though!

A house call by a doctor means he visits a patient at home, so could the meaning here be similar?  Perhaps he was discharged from the workhouse, but remained subject to house calls.
