The London Charterhouse is a historic complex of buildings in Smithfield London dating back to the 14th century. It occupies land to the north of Charterhouse Square. The Charterhouse began as and takes its name from a Carthusian priory founded in 1371 and dissolved in 1537. Substantial fragments remain from this monastic period but the site was largely rebuilt after 1545 as a large courtyard house. Thus today it "conveys a vivid impression of the type of large rambling 16th century mansion that once existed all round London". The Charterhouse was further altered and extended after 1611 when it became an almshouse and school endowed by Thomas Sutton. The almshouse a home for gentlemen pensioners still occupies the site today under the name Sutton's Hospital in Charterhouse. Wikipedia unknown

22653The Oxford Circuit Gloucester Reading Shrewsbury Assizes; Birmingham Assizes. A few items dated to 1887 1888 1891 1894. Lauriston Leonard Batten studied at Trinity College Cambridge see his entry in Alum. Cantab. He was admitted at the Inner Temple in 1882 and called to the bar four years later. KC 1905. Bencher 1914. The present collection is from the papers of his colleague on the Oxford Circuit Sir Richard Harington 1861-1931 12th baronet who was educated at Eton and Christ Church Oxford. Called to the Bar in 1886 he practised on the Oxford Circuit before taking up an appointment as a Puisne Judge in the High Court of Justice at Fort William in Bengal in 1899. He returned to England in 1913 and was appointed High Sheriff of Herefordshire in 1918 having succeeded to his father's title in 1911. From the Harington family papers. 27 caricatures and sketched portraits of barristers judges and others in robes including a few court scenes. In ink and pencil each on a separate piece of paper. In fair condition with light signs of age and wear. A miscellaneous collections of papers ranging from a 33 x 11 cm blue-grey strip embossed with the letterhead crest of the Royal Courts of Justice to the reverse of a 10 x 14 cm cutting from the printed calendar of charges 'Conspiring to cheat and defraud the Great Western Railway Company by obtaining and making improper use of a ticket at Didcot on the 19th December 1887.'. One caricature is on the reverse of an 20 x 25 cm piece cut from the cover of an 1894 manuscript writ. Several of the sketches are laid down on leaves torn from an commonplace book one of these leaves having on the reverse a poem 'A certain Mr. Day married a Miss Week' and humorous anecdote relating to W. R. Smith. Five items signed by Batten with his 'LB' monogram and seven items dated. Three are addressed to Harington one 'To - Richard Harington Esq: per. Great. Western. Railway.' and the material was clearly in order to amuse Harington Batten being regarded as one of the 'famous wits' of the Oxford Circuit. There are occasional annotations by Harington as for example 'A sketch taken by L Batten Oxford autumn circuit 1887' and 'Shrewsbury Assizes - 1887'. Another caption reads: 'The Under sheriff a sketch taken in court at Gloucester during the trial of Wadley. July 14th. 1887. by L: Batten.' The different drawings vary in style and those with thicker and looser lines being the most successful. Subjects and captions include 'N. T. Reid QC afterwards Lord Loveburn Ld. Ch' 'C. J. Darling Q.C.' 'Stanley Weyman' 'Queen v Pugh Cox & Wood' 'C. A. V.' a magistrate at the bench with two court officials 'Mirehouse' 'Miry' 'Hawkins' 'A. G. James. afterwards County Ct. Judge' 'Dr. Gumbleton' 'Gumby' 'Can't stand George Griffiths' 'reserved witness' judge at bench in spectacles 'Lieut Cole Master of the Rolls and his figure' 'The Prosecution which did the criminal act Reading Feb. 6th 1888' 'The Equity Junior which came special to Shrewsbury Assizes 1887' 'C. V. Called within the Bar very shortly'. Two are caricatures of a striking woman the plaintive in 'Birmingham Assizes - Aug. 4th. 1887. Timmins v Crofts for breach of promise'. Five feature Harington: one highly finished effort shows him in court with a wooden leg declaiming from 'Lay of the Citizen Diligent' by 'R. H.'; two show him in his robes grasping a money bag on which is written 'R: H: £700' in one he is running in the other captioned 'Borrows £700 and barely escapes with his life' he is being tackled by three other barristers one with a hockey stick; in another captioned 'The Red Flag of Anarchy in Gloucester Flower of D. C. C. Chipp' he flourishes a banner reading 'Briefs or Blood'; in another he stands with hands in pockets with syringe 'water-pipe' before him; in the last captioned 'In the Company's Interest - Returned Empty' shows him seated in court with another barrister 'Leslie'. The Oxford Circuit [Gloucester, Reading, Shrewsbury Assizes; Birmingham Assizes]. A few items dated to 1887, 1888, 1891, 1894. unknown
