16460On letterhead of the India Office Whitehall. 21 July 1876. 7pp. 12mo. In India Office envelope addressed by Frere to 'The Rt. Revd. The Lord Bishop of Winchester 17 Devonshire Place W.' In good condition on lightly-aged paper. In the event that he is unable to attend the meeting 'as I have an engagt. for 3 o'clock at Marlborough House' he asks the Bishop to 'mention - if you think proper - how entirely I agree with the view taken by Mr. Jacob & that I think £2000 to each Bishopric is the least wh. S.P.G. shd. offer.' In Frere's view 'the meeting will have the power of deciding whether efficient episcopal supervision shall be provided for those two great Provinces the Punjab & Burmah; or whether this shall be indefinitely postponed.' He explains regarding a plan on the matter put forward twenty years before by the Bishop of Exeter: 'The great Mutiny occurred & all action was postponed for 20 yrs.' The letter proceeds with a discussion of 'the kind of Bishop Ld. Salisbury proposes' with Frere dividing his analysis into four lettered sections with the first and shortest reading: 'a the exact kind of Bishop wh. Bishops Cotton & Milman contemplated'. Frere considers 'that what is described as a Missonary. Bishop must be more or less a class Bishop or a caste Bishop'. He concludes in the hope that 'S. P. G. will be true to its own old lines of principle & action & not in hunting after vain shadows lose the substantial advantage of the creation of two manageable sees'. On letterhead of the India Office [Whitehall]. 21 July 1876. unknown

13442Monmouth. 30 Ocotber 1843. 2pp. 12mo. 29 lines of neatly-written text. In very good condition on lightly-aged paper. Addressing his letter to 'J: S: Buckingham Esqre.' Pollock writes that Buckingham's letter 'enclosing the Rules &c. of the British and Foreign Institute' has been forwarded to him in Monmouth where he is 'engaged on a long Circuit professionally which comprehends all South Wales and the West and South of England'. 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
