He is 'on the move continually' without 'time or opportunity to give sufficient consideration to the subject'. He will 'return to Town' in December when he will 'take an early opportunity of making my appearance as a member of the Committee' and will 'confer' with Buckingham: 'I see you have had to answer an attack as some one has taken the trouble to send me a Copy of the "Times" of the 25th. inst. which accompanied a Letter from you . You need not complain as you have evidently a triumph upon all the points started.' According to Buckingham's entry in the Oxford DNB in 1844 he was 'instrumental in the foundation of the British and Foreign Institute in Hanover Square. This literary and social club of which he was appointed resident director drew the ridicule of Punch which persisted in calling it the ‘Literary and Foreign Destitute’. The institute was closed in 1846.' Pollock was appointed Chief Justice of Bombay in 1846 and knighted in the same year. Monmouth. 30 Ocotber 1843. unknown

5604Letter dated 5 April 1846; Castle Taunton. Photograph undated. Letter: four pages folio. Good with a little aging and staining to verso of second leaf of bifolium. In Cruttwell's absence Cockburn has taken it upon himself 'to settle Richardson & <Sumsun>. Taylor has communicated the result of his interview with Hellings the previous evening. 'He informed me that he had seen certain letters written by the Defendants to Mrs. Richardson in which he solicited her to leave her husband and to bring away with her money and goods belonging to the husband'. Taylor recommends that Hellings' offer of £50 be accepted. Cockburn has seen the letters and 'they fully bear out Mr. Taylor's account. I thought the correspondence so discreditable to the Defendant that especially as he must necessarily have called witnesses andn so the Plaintiff's cause wd. have had a reply - I thought it very likely the Jury wd. give connsiderable damages - to say nothing of the disgrace .' Discusses Cruttwell's reluctance to have his 'name mixed up with the defence'. He is certain his opinion would have been shared by Cruttwell had he 'seen these letters'. After consulting 'Mr. Phinn' he has reached a verdict of '50£ including the goods the property in which is to remain in the Defendant'. In a postscript describes how the plaintiff's husband has 'not only denied her to bring away money & furniture but articles of jewellery such as a gold shirt pin of the husbands which he sd. would become him better'.

CZC-12242Ouvrage dédié à M. le Président de Bailleul volume relié in12, 180x100, relié pleine basane époque, bon état intérieur, 318pp,très rare exemplaire. A Paris, Chez Guillaume Cavelier, MDCXCIX Il était le frère du médecin et chirurgien Nicolas de Blégny. Il a été reçu en la Communauté des maîtres écrivain jurés en 1666, et exerçait à Paris dans le dernier tiers du XVIIe siècle. On a de lui un portrait gravé par Voligny en 1691. À l'occasion de la parution de Les Elémens... en 1691, il est cité comme maître écrivain dans le recueil d'adresses publié par son frère le médecin Nicolas de Blégny en 1692 sous le pseudonyme d'Abraham Du Pradel1. À cette époque, il habitait à l'entrée de la rue Saint-André [des Arcs], devant le pont Saint-Michel. Il est mort en février 1700. Il est très probablement lié à François-Étienne de Blégny, papetier, né vers 1662, demeurant également rue Saint-André-des-Arts, impliqué dans des affaires politiques et embastillé. On remarque dans ses œuvres qu'il a travaillé non seulement dans la mouvance pédagogique (écriture, arithmétique, grammaire), mais aussi dans la mouvance judiciaire, comme "juré expert établi pour vérifier les écritures". Paillasson indique que son Traité de 1699 est resté utile jusqu'à l'ordonnance de 1737 qui réforma les principes de la vérification judiciaire. ref/30
