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.
