105171 4 and 8 July 1901; all on letterheads of Broadwater Cross Tunbridge Wells. All three items good on lightly-aged paper. All bifoliums. Letter One 1 July 1901: 12mo 4 pp. 42 lines. He is pleased to have received Childers' life of his father published that year. 'I knew your Father well . I was in the House in the Parliaments of 68 & 80 when he had his most serious work'. Praises his 'amazing pluck in going out as he did to Australia Childers was first Vice-Chancellor of the University of Melbourne & in his conduct there in the early days & during the gold discoveries time the story of which in his letters is very curious'. He is interested to learn that he 'had Jewish blood in his veins'. He finds it 'evident that he was very doubtful as to Gladstone's wisdom on several points & in that I agree with him'. He believes that though 'most anxious to help Ireland' he was not 'really happy about Home Rule' wanting to 'separate the Imperial from the Local' which 'could not be done'. Ends: 'Where should we have been in 99 if we had given Ireland over to an Irish Parlmt in 93' Letter Two 4 July 1901: 12mo 4 pp. 33 lines. Having received Childers' reply he is pleased he wrote. Childers' 'Jewish blood' is 'very interesting to me'. Praises Disraeli's comments on the subject in his biography of Lord George Bentinck - 'a most interesting book & written by a most remarkable specimen of that famous nation'. Attacks Gladstone's handling of the Home Rule question. The recipient is 'right that Gladstone acted in a hurry . but he did more - He broke faith with his old friends to whom in Septr 1885 he sent a message utterly opposed to the plans which he developed even before the Election of that year. He was not straight & he had his reward. And he destroyed the Liberal party. - Where is it now' Letter Three 8 July 1901: 12mo 3 pp. 31 lines. He thanks him for 'the Copy of that very remarkable letter - It does the Father credit'. Until the recent case of 'Mr J. E. Backhouse of Darlington' he had 'never heard before of a boy being made a Baronet'. He does not 'altogether agree with your history as to 79-80 - I remember well saying after that terrible Afghan disaster at end of 79 that it would finish the Govmt - that & the Zulu war were too much for the Electors.' 1, 4 and 8 July 1901; all on letterheads of Broadwater Cross, Tunbridge Wells. unknown

RWO. Shelved in Netdesk Office Case #1. A collection of ten acts passed by Parliament between 1833 and 1871 privately bound with holograph annotations in margins. Collection prefaced by the text of the Thames Valley Drainage Act of 1871 and all successive acts bound-in are related to the history and content of the 1871 Act. Appears to have been privately bound by Robert Harding Milward a Birmingham solicitor whose career ended ignominiously in 1903 following revelations of fraudulent activity. His precise role if any in the authoring passage or implementation is unclear but presumably relates to his role as solicitor in the funding of public works projects. 1365495.

30755Despatch from the Right Honorable Lord Glenelg to His Excellency Sir George Gipps stating that the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury do not disapprove of the increase of the Police Establishment at Port Macquarie but suggest the apportionment of the expence sic between the Colonial and Convict Funds. No.3. Downing Street 14th October 1837 . and Enclosure to the foregoing. Treasury Chambers 7th October 1837. London : s.n. 1837. Single sheet 253 x 162 mm letterpress on laid paper watermarked 'J. & J. Town / Turkey Mill / 1832' printed on both sides; very light creasing and toning else fine. This separately issued British government circular reproduces two items of correspondence pertaining to the funding of the proposed expansion of the penal establishment at Port Macquarie New South Wales in 1837. The first is a copy of the despatch from Lord Glenelg Secretary of State for War and the Colonies to Governor Gipps dated 14 October 1837 informing him that the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury deem that any expenditure required for the expansion of the establishment should not be drawn from the Convict Services purse alone but rather that the responsibility for such costs ought to be shared by the Colonial Government. The reasoning behind this stance is elucidated in the second item of correspondence a copy of the communication sent to Lord Glenelg by A. Y. Spearman on behalf of the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury dated 7 October 1837. Spearman writes: '. my Lords are not disposed to object to the arrangements for the increase of the Police Establishment at Port Macquarie reported in Depatch from the Governor of New South Wales of 1st November 1836 so far as regards the number or rates of pay of the persons employed; but as he has averted to the great influx of free Settlers to the fertile country in the neighbourhood of that Penal Station as forming one of the grounds for the increase it appears to my Lords that the additional expense should not fall entirely on the funds applicable to Convict Services but that a large proportion if not the whole of it should be defrayed by the Colony.' The circular was published in The Sydney Herald 15 August 1838. Trove locates no copies. unknown
34739Drop-head title with coat of arms at head of text. London : Printed by Charles Eyre and William Strahan 1784. Foolscap folio 320 x 200 mm disbound pp 907-919 1 blank 1 colophon 1 blank; first leaf with toning to bottom margin else a fine copy. The Transportation etc. Act 1784 24 Geo. 3 c. 56 was an important piece of legislation fundamental to the establishment of a penal colony in New South Wales and subsequently Van Diemen's Land governed by New South Wales 1803-1825. 'The outbreak of the American Revolutionary War 1775-1783 halted transportation to America. Parliament claimed that ""the transportation of convicts to his Majesty's colonies and plantations in America . is found to be attended with various inconveniences particularly by depriving this kingdom of many subjects whose labour might be useful to the community and who by proper care and correction might be reclaimed from their evil course""; they then passed ""An act to authorize . the punishment by hard labour of offenders who for certain crimes are or shall become liable to be transported to any of his Majesty's colonies and plantations."" For the ensuing decade men were instead sentenced to hard labour and women were imprisoned. Finding alternative locations to send convicts was not easy and the act was extended twice by the Criminal Law Act 1778 18 Geo. 3 c. 62 and the Criminal Law Act 1779 19 Geo. 3 c. 54. This resulted in a 1779 inquiry by a Parliamentary Committee on the entire subject of transportation and punishment; initially the Penitentiary Act was passed introducing a policy of state prisons as a measure to reform the system of overcrowded prison hulks that had developed but no prisons were ever built as a result of the act. The Transportation etc. Act 1784 24 Geo. 3 c. 56 and the Transportation etc. Act 1785 25 Geo. 3 c. 46 also resulted to help alleviate overcrowding. Both acts empowered the Crown to appoint certain places within his dominions or outside them as the destination for transported criminals; the acts would move convicts around the country as needed for labour or where they could be utilized and accommodated. The overcrowding situation and the resumption of transportation would be initially resolved by Orders in Council on 6 December 1786 by the decision to establish a penal colony in New South Wales on land previously claimed for Britain in 1770 but as yet not settled by Britain or any other European power. The British policy toward Australia specifically for use as a penal colony within their overall plans to populate and colonise the continent would differentiate it from America where the use of convicts was only a minor adjunct to its overall policy.'

14002Letter dated 'Glasgow February 9 1835'. Address by 'BELL AND BAIN PRINTERS Glasgow' and dated 'QUEEN-STREET January 15th 1835.'. Letter and address are on a foolscap 8vo bifolium with the address covering the first three pages and the letter the reverse of the second leaf which also carries the address 'Mrs Hyde 31 Henrietta Street Bath' forwarded to Kew and then 10 New Street Margate with ten postmarks and a red wax seal. In fair condition on aged and worn paper with a few nicks and short closed tears along folds. LETTER: 1p. foolscap 8vo. Addressed to 'My dear Elizabeth'. Of most interest is the concluding passage which reads: 'No man I assure you can feel less disappointment at not returning to the slavery of Parliament - On the contrary I feel the pleasures of emancipation. Not so many of my friends - and among the rest poor Deans who is nowhere and almost greeting.' The rest of the letter concerns Mrs Hyde's residence with Ewing writing that she has 'made a very cheap and from what you say a very proper change to Bath. At another season however I should have recommended Malvern. I should doubt the propriety of your letting Kew - you have given a good reason against it.' He suggests that she make 'an arrangement for getting quit of the Lease' and returns to Scotland. He has made a 'fair offer' for <Ardinterry>. ADDRESS: 3pp. foolscap 8vo in small type. The first page carries a letter from Ewing dated 'QUEEN-STREET' January 15th 1835' and signed in type 'JA. EWING.' The letter begins: 'GENTLEMEN WHEN I offered to you a renewal of my services I stood on great public principles. I declared that while I was anxious to improve - I was determined to preserve the existing institutions of the Country; that till the Reform Act had received a full experiment I would consent to no theoretic changes; that I was inviolably attached to the British Constitution and resolved to protect the rights of the Commons the privileges of the Peers and the prerogative of the Crown; and that in consistency with these views and the independent grounds on which I first had the honour to be returned I would give a fair hearing to the Ministers appointed by the King before I could condemn their measures.' It concludes: 'Gentlemen I now retire into the shade of private life. To the diversified interests of this great City I have ever afforded all the aid in my humble power - and I have now ended my public career in the last struggle to maintain its independence. All my aspirations will still be for the fulfilment of the motto to your arms "Let Glasgow flourish!" One word more with regard to my Country. In the aspect of the political horizon it is impossible not to perceive the small cloud which indicates a coming storm. I can no longer act as one of the conductors endeavouring to withdraw the lightning; but my last prayer shall be that the stroke may never descend on the venerable and beautiful fabric of the Constitution.' The other two pages are headed 'SENTIMENTS OF THE BRITISH PRESS' and carry fourteen extracts from newspapers ranging from the Glasgow Herald to the Dumfries and Galloway Courier. The final printed item at the foot of the last page is a 'STATEMENT OF THE POLL' with Ewing beaten into third place by Oswald and Dunlop. No copy of this document has been found on either COPAC or WorldCat although Glasgow has another address to the electors of Glasgow this one from 1834 not 1835 as above. Letter dated 'Glasgow February 9, 1835'. Address by 'BELL AND BAIN, PRINTERS [Glasgow]', and dated 'QUEEN-STREET, January 15th, unknown

650411698. Folio. pp. ii 563-565 i blank. Extracted from the annual volume in very good condition. The Act was directed against apostates at the beginning of the deist movement in England particularly after the 1696 publication of John Toland's book Christianity not Mysterious. It was rarely applied: the legislation allowed only four days after the offence for a formal complaint to be lodged and the trial itself was required to be held within three months. As a result existing common law process continued to be the first line against heterodoxy in England and Wales. The Law Commission said that they were not aware of any prosecutions that had taken place under this Act. On 24 May 1966 the Law Commission said that the offence created by this statute was obsolete and recommended that the whole Act be repealed. Their recommendation was implemented by section 132 of and Part I of Schedule 4 to the Criminal Law Act 1967. 1698. Folio. unknown

14313Both from Treasury Chambers London. 12 December 1805 and 24 January 1806. Both documents 1p. folio. Both in good condition on lightly-aged laid paper the first with pin-holes from its attachment to another item. The first letter relates to 'the Expences incurred in constructing the Royal Military Canal' with reference to a 'Letter from Sir Brook. Watson Bt' and 'Lieut. Col. Brown's Accounts for expenditure'. The second letter again deals with communications from Watson and Brown the latter 'enclosing Accounts & Vouchers for the Expenditure on the Royal Military Canal & Rampart'. The Royal Military Canal conceived by Lieutenant-Colonel John Brown as a defence against invasion runs for 28 miles between Seabrook near Folkestone and Cliff End near Hastings. In mid-1805 due to the slow progress of the work the contractors and consultant engineer John Rennie had been dismissed and replaced by the Quartermaster-General’s department with Brown in command. Both from Treasury Chambers [London]. 12 December 1805 and 24 January 1806. unknown
