Here is a scalloped vellum/parchment Indenture dated 3rd September 1844 being a Conveyance of property situate in North Street, Pentonville, London. The contract is between John Hemming of Saint Johns Wood; George Stephen late a Student of Medicine at the University of Aberdeen but now at Haugh of Glass, Banff; and Edmund Bramston of Parker Street, Drury Lane, London an Army Accoutrement Maker. This beautifully handwritten document has four sheets each measuring approx 26" x 23", bears three original wax seals, each with a good signature, and has five revenue stamps. The document mentions several other names and refers to a marriage settlement, deed poll, and auction near the Bank of England. Although there is storage "dustiness" to the outer section, the main parts are in superb condition. There is a possibility that George Stephen may be the same George Stephen who was a leading figure in the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway, but this would require further research. Edmund Bramston married into the London Wombwell family who were famous for their "Wombwell Menagerie".

Commonplace book with legal excerpts and financial accounts of rents and money lent, manuscript in a bold, cursive script, 82pp. excluding blanks, ruled in red throughout, original calf, rubbed, upper joint small tear, lacks head of spine, folio, 1st May 1631 - 9th August 1644. £600 - 800

 

"A Bill of 200 P sterling bearing date the 9th of August 1644. drawn on me John Answorth at 40s 3d payable to Ralfe Perrot or his Assigns the some of 400l and 2 pound 10s ?flemish." Heads of the legal part include: "Cooke Inquisiones"; "Journal by Coppy of Court Roll"; "Copyhold"; "out of a discourse uppon the Commission of Bridewell"; "Tenures", copyhold, "Copyholders belonging to the Mannor of Amersham taken from Walter Tredway … Baly to the Earle of Bedford". If John Answorth was the compiler of these notes and accounts he was clearly a wealthy individual, probably a London merchant with a business connection to the Earl of Bedford and through him with Sir Walter Tredway and "the mannor of Amersham". Answorth also lists land owned at Wapping, Harmondsworth and property in the City, "ffleet streete house" and "ffeterlane". One of the first entries is an account of an unlooked for honour: "May 1st 1631 I was summoned by a warrant to appear at the Coiunsaile board to compound for the order of Knighthood. I deferred apearing as long as possibly I could without running into a contemt. When I appeared my answer nay I had no land till two years after the Kings Coronation [Charles I] and was then the kings ward for were I payed a greate somme. Uppon this answer they turned me over to into the Exchequer whereof I should be returned by the sherife … . It is best to temporize and deferre a busines of this nature as long as without danger … ". In the early years of the reign of Charles I Commissions for Compounding for not taking a knighthood at the Coronation of the king was a lucrative source of revenue for the government. By 1635 the money raised from such fines amounted to #173,537. An early investor in the East India Company he lent #1300 at 6 per cent in 1637. Other debts owed or owing and people with which he has business dealings include "Brother ffrancis", Lord Maltravers ["11th of februar 1636 hath in all to dispose for my use" #600], Earl of Bedford (Francis Russell, fourth Earl, 1593-1641) [as of 26th May 1637 Answorth owed Bedford #3800], Sir Edward Savage, "Mr Shalcross", Walter Tredway, Alderman Some, "Customers Sir Abraham Dawes and Sir John Jacob". For the month of February 1636 Answorth was owed by "Gentlemen and others" #7300.
