decree of the Court of Chancery, between George Newbery of New Road,

Fields, Middlesex, gents, Francis Stevens formerly of Sidmouth, Devon, now of
St John's Road, North End, Fulham, gentleman and lunatic, John Stevens of
Chardstock, Dorset, Samuel Stevens of Axminster, and John Ryle of Waltham
Green, Surgeon. Dated 6th July 1843. This large 4 page document appears to
relate to the estate of Francis Stevens a lunatic. St John's Road, North End, Fulham, was
given as his present address. At the
time there were two lunatic asylums with addresses on St John's Road: Norman House & Beaufort House. The
indenture is accompanied by an interesting letter from John Newbury to John
Stevens: "Sir I have
this day renounced my claims under your late brother Francis' will and I now
beg to offer you my congratulations, for you must be gratified by
dispossessing his friend and adopted heir of his intentions. The assumption
throughout has been that he had no right to dispose of what was his own. I
wish you every enjoyment of your righteous possession and sincerely hope that
you may have as much enjoyment in the possession as I have in the deprivation.
I am Sir, your humble servant George Newbery." Clearly
somewhat disgruntled! Handwritten in English on vellum. Some dust marking but
otherwise good condition. 70 by 75 cm. Signatures and seals. |

Hunting.- Grove (Thomas, Master of the Cranborne Chase Fox-hounds, uncle by
marriage to Shelley) An Account of Fox-hunting - 1784, manuscript, title and
48pp. excluding blanks, most written on recto only, one or two slight
sketches, 1p. most torn away, small quantity of correspondence to Lady Agnes
Grove including an A.L.s. from Evelyn Ashley congratulating her on her book,
“Seventy One Days Camping in Morocco” and newspaper cuttings loosely
inserted, original roan-backed boards, rubbed, sm. 4to, 25th August - 23rd
March 1784. A good account of fox hunting in the middle of the eighteenth
century centred on the Ferne/Ashcombe estate in Cranborne Chase on the
Dorset/Wiltshire border. The manuscript opens with a four page list of the
hounds and a one page list of the horses. The entries are terse but
informative and describe in detail the various days hunting: “March 21 Found
a fox in the Furze by the Hare Warren & ran him into Burcombe Ivers where
he ran short for half an Hour & then went to Earth. We dug him &
killed him on the Earth.” The entries for each day's meet (from 25 August to
22 November only) end with the name “Grove” and this name appears every day
except for 27 October when the entry reads: “I did not go out…”. It is
therefore reasonable to suggest that Thomas Grove is the author. Evelyn
Ashley (1836-1907), biographer of Lord Palmerston; fourth son of Anthony
Ashley Cooper, seventh earl of Shaftesbury. |

A
large, 4-page vellum document dated 1897 from The Halmot Court of The
Honourable James Archibald Douglas Home and Henry Frederick Nicoll Esquire
and the Right Honourable Henry John Lord Montagu of the Manor of Accrington.
The purpose of the document seems to be to prove the claims of various people
to the right to be admitted to the Manor therefore there is much discussion
of properties, people and places. Some people mentioned are John Hargreaves
of Chilfrome House near Dorchester in Dorset, Frank Hargreaves from Shinfield
Manor near Reading in Berkshire and Harry Evelyn Stracey Pocklington, Captain
in the 15th Hussars from Wrexham in the County of Denbigh but there are many
others. There is much discussion about properties and places and I also
noticed the East Lancashire Railway Company mentioned but there is far too
much information in this document to list it all here. In excellent condition
for a document of this age with no noticeable holes or tears and very clean.
No seals. Size approx 30" across by 25" down. |

L[ette]r to a ffriend, “Much could I write Dear Sister unto thee”, giving the
names Mary Willett (her name occurs again in another poem) & T. Bagg;
Epitaph, “Ever be sober tho in zeal thou dwell”, spelling Elizabeth Osborne;
“A frame of curious phrases I could write”, making Anne Fream; “Be vigalent
for Truth while time doth last”, makes Benjamin happle of Dorchester”; the
poem Of Jerusalem , giving “Sarah Seymer of Marnhull” (G.R. Stanton in his
note at the beginning identifies Melior Seymer as Bagg’s wife). And on a poem
starting “O Sion must I now Lament of thy Grieff", gives “On my beloved
and much lamented Uncle Daniel Tylor Deceased.” Titles
of poems include: Vivifying Meditations ; Writer in a Circle ; Humility ;
Tender Breathings ; Of Jerusalem ; On Eternitie ; Upon the Loss of a good

Bagg was born in 1681, in Bridport, son of Thomas Bagg, who died in 1700.
Thomas married in 1705 Melior Seymer of Marnhull. One of the poems identifies
Daniel Tylor as Bagg’s uncle, probably Daniel Taylor, the founder of a
charity and Almshouses in Bridport. |

attached (this page has no printing); this loosened page also has the
notations of the family tree mentioned above. I have saved images of this
Bible. |
