This
auction is for one of the largest vellums which we have sold on ebay. The
vellum is dated 24th June 1817, and appears to be between Mr Oswald Mosley
snr and his trustee to James Wilde Esq. The summary says that
"appointment and release of two sums of 96 pounds 17 shillings and three
pence and 74 pounds 12 shillings and 4 pence", and appears to relate to
Manchester. The vellum itself has been added to over the years, as late as
1914. The document has two wax seals which are in good condition, and has six
sets of stamp duties, for a total of six pounds. The vellum is six very large
pages long, all hand-written and on original vellum. This is one of the
finest quality, and interesting to read vellums, we have seen, and would be a
wonderful talking point in a living room or business. |

An
interesting six sheet apprenticeship agreement, the apprentice being one
Henry Haslam of Preston the Master William Worthington, Tinplate worker and
Gas Fitter also of Preston, a term of 6 years. Interesting as it is all hand written, the
terms much more personalised than the normal pre-printed indentures which
were in use (see our other auctions for more indentures). He deals with apprentice rules towards the
Masters family and other workers and apart from the usual provision of food,
drink and lodging he also provides medicines and medical attention in case of
sickness (an enlightened master).
Haslam starts at 3 shillings a week which rises in the sixth year to 9
shillings a week, interesting section on illness and absent without
permission. An unusal agreement for
the Victorian gas industry. Page size
16 x 10 inches, 6 sheets ones sized. A
final point, it's not signed so did the apprenticeship go ahead? |

This is
a one off unique legal document dated 1886 pertaining to an estate in York,
England. First
let me tell you that I am no expert in this field, but I will do my best to
describe the document as accurately as possible! Written
in fancy writing the document measures 22.5" X 26" and is made of
what I believe to be either waxed paper or vellum which is semi-transparent
when held against a light. I am not good at reading this style of writing,
and while 100% of the writing is clearly readable I cannot decipher the
words! So bear with me and I will do
my best! Words that I cannot make out I will * next to. This
document had details on both sides, so not to confuse you anymore than I can
avoid I will call the front side A and the back side B! The
large writing at the top of the document (side A) reads: "A Memorial to
be registered at the Land Registry in England pursuant to the Improvement of
Land Act 1864 of An Order......." then writing then gets smaller and
there is a lot of it! This side of document has an official red two shillings
and six pence stamp, which has silver metal the crown part (on sideB of the
page is a black stamp with the crown and letters VR* which seems to seal in
the silver metal on to the stamp on side
A). The stamp on (side A) and has the crown at the top and is size 1¾” x
1¾” approx As to the document content, as I said I am no expert, but
it appears to be concerning the land/estate of The Mayor Alderman and the
Burgefses* of the Borough of BLACKBURN.
It seems that The Mayor owned a considerable amount of land in the
West Riding area of the county of York. These lands are described on the
document (side A) as: "Such portion of the following farms" Brennan*
Whitendale* Beatrix* Wood End "and other lands as are coloured red and
green on the plan hereunto annexed". On the
(side B) of the document are 4 maps/plans (see photos) these plans for the
parish of Slaidburn, include lands also belonging to the major which are
detailed as: The areas of Costy Clough and Whittendale River, Dunsop Houses,
Sheepfold, Part of Holme Head Wood, Lands surrounding and including the
Brennand River The
scale of the map reads as 1 inch -90. Statute Chains! One of the maps has a
legend/key which says Land for road coloured green and some other letters and
numbers and Land for Wells or Tanks at W.X.Y.Z. Side A seems to be concerning
the Improvement of Lands act 1864 and the sighting of new wells and roads for
the area but I am really NOT sure! It is signed by the Solicitors to the
General Land Drainage and Improvement Company, but I can not decipher the
signature! What ever the context of
the document it is original and in good condition for its age, with the
exception of being very stiff , from being folded up for 119 years! (some of
the folds are a little dirty and there is a tiny hole appearing in one of the
folds). There are some pencil marks on
the document as to their nature again, I do not know. There is some pencil
numbering in the top left corner and some other wtitting dotted around! No
doubt it was an official from the Office of the Land Registry! When the
document is folded the back has signatures of witnesses? |
