The Committee appointed to consider the opening and
attendance in the Library, being actuated by the general
feeling prevailing among Masters of the Bench which led
to their appointment, reporting as follows -
This general feeling is that the present system,which
practically excludes member of the Society from the
advantages that should be afforded by such a collection
of books, and frequently occasions unfavourable
comparisons with Lincoln's Inn, ought not to continue in
a Society which can afford the necessary expense to
establish the property upon a proper footing.
The Committ has obtained from the Steward of Lincoln's
Inn the Regulations relating to that Library, viz:

t2,
1818
HILARY TERM (Cont'd.)
BENCH TABLE (Cont'd.)
Feb. 6
Lincoln's Inn Librar
"One of the Masters of the Bench chosen annually
as Master of the Library.
"The Deputy Master of the Library or Librarian
has a salary of £60 per annum, corrects the
Catalogue, and arranges the Library. His
attendance but seldom.
"The Library-Keeper is also Second Butler, attends
the Library daily from ten until two o'clock except
holidays, i.e. a few days at Christmas, Easter etc.
and one month in the long vacation, has no Salary
but is allowed 3s. from every member annually at
Christmas, which he collects himself, and is allowed
a chamber and coals in virtue of the office.
"None but members of the Society admitted to the
Library".
The Committee considers that these regulation,
although effective in the important objects of affording
free and continual access to the Libary,are very
objectionable in other respects.
The valuable collection of books and manuscripts
constituting the Library of this Society ought not to be
entrusted to the custody of a person in the station of
Butler or under-Butler, and the daily attendance of a
Librarian competent from education and station to the
trust reposed in him would combine advantages of higher
responsibility, more effective co-operation in the

HILARY TERM (Cont'd.)
Feb. 6
BENCH TABLE (Cont'd.)
gradual improvement of the collection, and more
extended assistance in the information he might afford
to Library users than the arrangements of Lincoln's
Inn can afford.
The Committee also think that the daily and regular
attendance of a competent person could not reasonably
be expected for the salary allowed in Lincoln's Inn.
The Committee, therefore, on consideration ofal
circumstances recommend the appointment of a Librarian
with a salary of £100 per annum who should be required
to -
Arrange the Library.
Make out and keep a complete catalogue.
Attend regularly every day except Sundays from 10am.
until 3pm., excepting one week at Easter commencing
from Good Friday, the months of August and September,
and a fortnight at Christmas commencing from Christmas
Eve.
During the Librarian's vacations Members hould have
access to the Library upon application to the Sub-

Treasurer, who shauld retain possession of his key, and
the salary of £20 per annum now allowed the Sub-
Treasurer for his care of the Library should be

* By B.T.O. of 1 May 1818 accounts were opened in the name
of the Society with Messrs. Goslings & Sharp, bankers
in Fleet Street. One, the General account, was to
receive all dividenis except the 3;''Reduced BeinU
Annuities and all monies received by the Sub-Treasurer
except chamber rents, and all payments of the Society
were to be made from it. The second, the Rent account,
was to receive dividenis of 35 Reduced Bank Annuities
and chamber rents, and allowed to accumulate for
investment, for the creation of P Building Fund.
The majority of items included under the heading of
"Money Received of the 3ankers" can be correlated with
payments to individuals entered under "Disbursements",
which from May 1818 onward also include entries of sums
paid to the Bankers on the General and Rent accounts,
but a cash float must have been maintained from which
small payments could be made without recourse to the
bank (e.g. charitable allowances).

Norris whether the Society was likely to turn him out,

said, since he was a member of the other Society, he was
not likely to be disturbed as long as he conducted himself
properly as a tenant, and had in consequence laid
out £50 in various improvements, besides the money paid
to Savage on entering and the cost of bookshelves and
other fixtures: and that he hoped to be allowed to
continue tenant a few years longer, as the expense of
improvements would be a serious loss if he were obliged
to move: this to be referred to the Committee for

rent that would be suffered by Middle Temple, Inner
Temple would defray the cost of rebuilding the front of
the chamber exposed by the removal of the shop, paving
of the shop site and altering the iron rails enclosing

Regarding the burial ground, Mr. Smirke recommended
that it should be divided by posts or other dividing
marks into two equal portions for the separate use of
the two Societies. This appeared the best means of
removing the subject of complaint made by Middle Temple
on the use of the ground, since the area was small and
the regulations of the two Societies regarding
interments very different. If approved, Mr. Smirke
would recommend that the whole of the present fence of
enclosure should first be put into complete repair at
the joint expense of the two Societies, and that each
should afterwards provide for the repair of its own
allotment. Proposals approved.

Mr. Plowden Presland, a member, petitioning that on
7th February he had received a letter from the Sub-
Treasurer regarding restriction on call to the Bar of
ffOcer Attorneys: that the rule as stated in the
Students' Guide appeared to be that any attorney on
application for call must make affidavit of having
discontinued professional practice for the past two
years, and also produce certificates of having been
struck offLthe Rolls of each court in which he had
practised, and that the rule did not appear to require
that the name should be struck off for two years, and
in the case of Mr. A.B. of Gray's Inn in Michaelmas
Term 1780 the only material point was that he had
ceased practice for two years: that the petitioner was
entered of the Society in 1794 intending to be called

to the Bar and become a pupil of Mr. Butler of Lincoln's
Inn, but having formed a partnership with an attorney
and solicitor he was admitted a solicitor in the High
Court of Chancery and other courts and practised as such
until 1811, when he formed a partnership with Mr.
Procter and covenanted to retire from practice in favour
of Mr. Proctor and Mr. Slaney in 1816: that he had not
practised since, but in 1819 directed Mr. Jones of
Brunswick Square to remove his name from the Rolls of
the courts to which he had been admitted but on Mr.
Jones applying at the Sub-Treasurer's office he was
informed that this was not necessary, and that it would
suffice if the petitioner's name was removed from the
Roll at any time preceding the call: that the
petitioner will confirm the foregoing statement by
affidavit, or by reference to Messrs. Benyon, Jervis
and Forblanque, Benchers of other Societies: that he
knows of many instances where the rule has been dispensed
with, and not one where it has been enforced:
that since he has complied with every rule, taken
chambers and made his arrangements, and having reached a
time of his life where a further two years' delay could
be fatal to his prospects, he hopes that the Bench will
not at this short notice enforce the rule but will
allow the petitioner to be called on Friday next. The
Sub-Treasurer to reply that the Treasurer and Benchers
see no ground to depart from the Order of 6 February.

not struck off the Rolls at least two years before;
that in 1762 Benchers from the different Societies met
for the purpose of agreeing a general Order making it
necessary that the name should be off the Rolls for
two years, as evidence of cessation of practice, and
that Inner Temple only dissented, so that their rule
remained as before requiring only affidavits from
Solicitors as evidence of cessation from practice:
various instances cited of solicitors called to the Bar
only a short time after their names had been struck off
the Rolls: since the petitioner's application for call
the printed Guide had been amended and several gentlemen
keeping terms according to the old Order had been
notified of the change: at other Inns rules are in
force preventing solicitors whose names are on the
Rolls observing the normal routine of students in
keeping commons or doing Exercises, but no such rules
exist at Inner Temple to safeguard against the
erroneous situation in which the petitioner finds himself,
and of which he was in ignorance until two days
before his expected call: having been nearly thirty
years a member of the Society, and having ceased to
practise as a solicitor nearly five years (this
complying with the spirit of the Order if not the
letter) he hopes the rule can be relaxed. Resolved
unanimously that the petition be not complied with.
[Ed. note: this case as described in Mr, Presland's

petition appears to have been handled by the Benchers
in a rigid and inequitable manner. It is stated,
though the fact cannot be proved from these records,
that the Bench had made an Order ex ost facto to
legitimise their previous ruling that Mr. Presland's
application for call could not be allowed. In view of
the cases cited in which an exception to the rule had
been allowed, it can only be supposed that the Bench
had its reasons for wishing to prevent Mr. Presland's
call to the Bar].

Letter read from Mr. Smirke, the Surveyor, to the
Sub-Treasurer (dated 16 May), reporting that he had
considered more fully his plan for clearing the
buildings against the south wall of the Temple Church,
and had discovered circumstances that would make it
difficult to carry out. A projection of the Church
wall leaves too narrow a passage between it and the wall
of the staircase leading to chambers over the Colonnade.
Alterations could be made to the staircase, but would
have to be carried out by Middle Temple, owners of the
staircase. If made, such an alteration would leave
ample space in front of the Church without material loss
of income to either Society, the rents of buildings
standing against the Church amounting to no more than
£100 per annum (half belonging to Middle Temple). Mr.
Smirke also recommends that no more privies be built
adjoining those already in use unless the plan for
making water closets on the different staircases be
abandoned. In his report of March 7 he had stated that
two might be made in staircases Nos. 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11
King's Bench Walk at a total expenditure of about £750,
and as most gentlemen having chambers on these staircases
had expressed their willingness to pay a rent of
2 or 3 guineas per annum for the use of water-closets,
the income arising would soon defray the expense of

Account, the latter sum not agreeing with the Rent
Account as kept by the Under-Treasurer (Mr. Norris),
whose account showed a balance against the Society and
in his favour of £755.11.7. This inconsistency was
difficult to explain, but the Committee considered it
could be obviated in future by an Order that the
Under-Treasurer's accounts should commence each year
on the date of appointment of a new Treasurer, so
conforming with the General Account. If rents were
paid into the Bankers as received, and Receipts and
Payments entered daily in the Under-Treasurer's
account, the entries in his book should correspond
with those of the Bankers. The Committee did not think
it advisable to lay out any of the above balances,on

Regarding duty of the Watchmen of the two Societies
the Committee is of opinion they should be required to
come on duty at dusk throughout the year, to relieve
each other at 11. Opm., and to remain on duty until
7. Oam. Michaelmas to Lady Day (6. Oam. Lady Day to
Michaelmas), and that they should proclaim the time of
night every half hour from 10. Opm. The Porter on duty
to go round at least twice each night at uncertain
hours to see that the Watchmen are on duty, and to
report on them each morning to the Under Treasurer.
(The orders of the two Societies already require the
above duties but it appears that they have been
neglected).
Regarding the problems of the Churchyard which had
been referred to the same Committee, it was considered
advisable to carry into effect its division as proposed
by Mr. Smirke and Mr. Wigg, the two Surveyors, and to
recommend that the Parliament of Midd Temple should
agree with Inner Temple in adopting the mode of division
suggested by the Surveyors on 30 January last.
The Committee recommended referring to the
Surveyors consideration of the need to repair or remove
the shop at the north end of the cloisters.
Complaints having been made that the pews, books etc.
in the Church are neglected and dirty, the Sexton to be

and the gate at Ram Alley until further Order to be

Report read of Committee appointed to inquire into the collection

1. By Act of Parliament 43 George III c. 99, Assessors
and Collectors of Taxes are to be appointed by Commissioners,

69 1
1822-23
MICHAELMAS TERM (Cont'd.)
BENCH TABLE (Cont'd.)
Nov. 22 and the Assessors have the duty to request each inhabitant
of chambers to make a return: as these returns are frequently
neglected, the Assessors are obliged to call at chambers to
collect them. From these returns and other information,
assessments are prepared for submission to the Commissioners
with nominees for collectors, of whom two will be appointed.
A duplicate of the Assessment is delivered to the Collectors,
who prepare and deliver notices of the sums chargeable to each
individual, with a note of the date of appeal if such is to be
made.
The Senior Assessor usually takes the active part, the
Junior only checking the assessment before verifying on oath.
Of late years, the sums assessed have amounted to nearly
£5000 annually, and the Senior Collector on his appointment
in 1811 gave sureties to the Commissioners in the sum of £2000
for the collection of sums assessed in the Inner Temple and for
the enforcement of payment according to the powers of the Acts.
Poundage on sums collected, by the authority of the Tax Acts,
is 3d. in the pound, and now amounts to about £60 per annum.
The Security should be given annually, but none has been given
since the above-mentioned bond on the Collector's appointment
in 1811.
2. The Collector of charges for commons, and of Pensions
and Preachers Duties, is appointed by the Masters of the Bench
to collect these from all members of the Society, including

MICHAELMAS TERM (Cont'd.)
BENCH TABLE (Cont'd.)
Nov. 22 Benchers, Barristers and Students, with the exception of Pensions
and Preachers Duties payable by Barristers not having chambers,
which are collected by the Sub-Treasurer. A roll kept by the
third Butler informs the Collector of amounts due for commons
from each gentleman. Charges are entered in two books, one
for proprietors of chambers and one for non-proprietors, and
the Collector makes out bills annually or as appropriate. The
Collector should pay the total sum collected to the Sub-Treasurer
on the first day of each term, but there is no order to
this effect. He is allowed 11/2% on money collected for commons,
and 21/2% on Pensions and Preachers Duties.
The collection for commons is about £1200 and for Pensions
and Preachers Duties about £350 per annum, but are increasing.
The present Collector on appointment gave security with one
surety in the sum of £600 for due performance of his duties
and has paid his Collections up to the 15th instant.

The signatories represent to the ReNaers of Inner Temple
that they are frequently disturbed in daytime by the noise
of boys and children allowed to play within the Temple, apparently
unchecked by the porters, whose duty it is to preserve
order. Gentlemen much in chambers are particularly
annoyed by this disturbance, and submit it might be prevented
by the appointment of day watchmtn: they understand that
Lincolns Inn and Greys Inn do not suffer this nuisance.
Dated 30 June 1824.

Letter read from Henry Hall Joy Esquire, a barrister,
to the Treasurer and Benchers, as follows--
Mr. Joy states that this morning his key to the garden
was forcibly seized by a gardener named Durrant from a young
gentleman of Oxford to whom it had been lent for a half an
hour, the grounds for seizure and retention being that it
was not a proper key. Mr. Joy requests to be allowed this
or another key, even if it should prove that it had in the
past been improperly acquired, as he had received it many
years before from his predecessor as appertaining to his
chamber in Paper Buildings, and had considered it as part
of the inducement for the high price paid. Mr. Joy acknowledges
that if it should prove that keys are not transferable,
or that this key was originally a false one, he can make no
claim as of right, but seeks favourable consideration as he
has used the key openly for several years and had no idea
of any irregularity. Mr. Joy to be informed that his request
is refused as it is contrary to the established rule.

Order being read of Bench Table of 13 May last, respecting
BTOs of 6 February and 1 May 1818 and the expediency of appointing
a Master of the Library, report now read of Mr. Ray, Sir
Edward Hyde East and Sir Robert Baker, dated 16 May last,
referring to former BTOs to the following effect:—
By Order of 5 February 1767, the Pannierman is to clean
the Library, hiring an assistant at his own expense, and is allotted
a set of chambers, wages of £25 per annum, and allowances
for supper money, warding, calls to the Bar, and admittances
into Commons, making up a total of £33..2..4
per annum. On 1 February 1768, an allowance of £4 was added
for cleaning the new Library:on 6 May 1785 an allowance of
£1 for cleaning the Library and water closets: on 6 February
1810 an allowance of £10 for extra trouble through expansion
of the Library, and in compensation for loss in no longer
serving the Bar mess with wine. Total with these additional
allowances £48..2..4. By Order of 5 May 1815, one shilling
per head was allowed for providing Benchers with tea. On
9 November 1819, the present Pannierman was allowed a set
of chambers on the ground floor at No. 4 Inner Temple Lane,
instead of the chamber of the former Pannierman up four pair
at No. 10 Crown Office Row.
On 12 May 1820, a Committee was appointed to consider
the duties and emoluments of the Pannierman with respect to

1825
103
TRINITY TERM (Cont'd.)
BENCH TABLE (Cont'd.)
June 7 the new Library, and afterwards resolved that he should be
paid a salary of £105 per annum in lieu of former allowances,
with £9 wages and £20 board wages for a maid servant, whose
duties were specified to include keeping the Library clean.
The allowance for tea and coffee was then increased to 1/9 d.
per head. Sundry other allowances are made to the Pannierman,
including vacation board wages at 7/6 d. per week; board wages
in term, which may be commuted as 17/6 d. per week; an
allowance of £12..16. for wages for an assistant to clean
knives for Bench and Bar tables; and perquisites of wine
and dessert left on the table in the Parliament chamber,
and provisions left at the Bar table.
When the new Library was opened, Mr. Gardner went there
and with the assistance of four Porters and Hitching (then
fifth Butler), removed the books from the rooms where they
had been deposited pro temporeand placed them in the library
under the direction of Mr. Rowlatt. On 30 November 1821,
the Bench ordered that Hitching should be paid £50 for his
work in dusting and cleaning presses and books in the Library
from 9 November 1820 to Christmas 1821. On the same day,
Hitching was appointed to daily duty in the Library from 10
to 3 o'clock, to look after the fires and clean the floor,
presses and books under the general direction of the Librarian
for a salary of £30 per annum.

BENCH TABLE (Cont'd.)
June 7
Hitching died in Trinity Term 1823 and has not been
replaced, so that the cleanliness of the Library and books
has been seriously neglected, only the floors of the Library
and adjoining rooms being swept by a maidservant
employed by the Pannierman. In the Long Vacation of 1824,
the Pannierman employed Hughes (Hitching's successor as
fifth Butler), to clean the presses and books. This was
properly done, but has not since been repeated.
The books in the former Library were kept in close
presses, which were cleaned only once a year, but the
greater part is now kept in open presses with wire guards
acting as doors, so that progressive daily cleaning is
needed to enable the whole to be gone over once a month.
The Library should be provided with a border of matting
six feet wide along the bench at east and west sides of
the room to protect the floor from ink stains. Panels
should be fitted over the ventilators to enable them to
be closed in cold weather. Pens, ink and paper, and chairs
and other furniture should be provided for Library users.
The rooms adjoining the Library should be properly furnished
with carpets, chairs, tables, presses, etc., and the room
to the south appropriated solely to the use of the Benchers.
The room to the north should have a new stove and a panelled
partition at the pillars, which if fitted with shelves would

June 7 afford room for a large quantity of books. A partition
would also render the room suitable for the use of the
Librarian, who could readily superintend the Library
adjacent, and far more comfortably in the winter than at
present when the cold makes it impossible for him to be
constantly in the Library.
It is suggested that the Benchers might define the
duties expected of the Librarian, and a Master of the
Library, if appointed annually from the Bench, should be
responsible for supervision.

On reading report of Committee presented to the Bench

Master of the Library, and he authorized to spend £50 on

MICHAELMAS TERM (Coned.)
BENCH TABLE (Coned.)
Nov. 8 stored on the north side of the vestibule of the Church,
the Sub-Treasurer had written on 7 September to the Chirographer
of the Court of Common Pleas to inform him of the
circumstances and to request him to remove the records into
the vestibule of the Church, where a place would be enclosed
to receive them. Replying on 8 September, Mr. H. T. Colebrooke
wrote that it was not in the power of the Chirographer
to provide storage for the records, but if the Society would
provide permanent storage someone from his office would superintend
their removal. He could not sanction temporary
removal of the records from the place where they had remained
undisturbed for so long. Mr. Norris (the Sub-Treasurer) then
consulted Master Gurney (the Treasurer being out of town),
and under his direction wrote to Mr. Colebrooke repeating that
the records must be removed from the crypt and would be transferred
to the vestibule on the Wednesday following, when
a representative from the Chirographer's office was invited
to attend to superintend their removal. Mr. Colebrooke again
wrote on 13 September, protesting against the proposed removal,
and stating that someone from his office would attend
to witness, though not to superintend, the removal of the
records; he added that he was addressing the Lord Chief
Justice of the Court of Common Pleas on the subject.
Mr. Norris, continuing his report, stated that a person
from the Chirographer's office attended the Church, but

1825
MICHAELMAS TERM (Coned.)
BENCH TABLE (Coned.)
Nov. 8 refused to deliver up the key of the crypt, whereupon the
door was forced and every paper and piece of wood was removed
to the vestibule, and two keys delivered at the Chirographer's
office the following day. The Sub-Treasurer had investigated
the circumstances of the original deposit of these records
in the crypt, and had no doubt that it had been made immediately
after the fire of 26 to 27 January 1678, when the
part now the Middle Temple cloister, Farrers Buildings, and
the whole of Hare Court (where the Office of Chirographers
of Fines was then and is now located), were so much damaged
by fire that several records of fines of the previous
Trinity and Michaelmas terms were lost. By Act of Parliament
of 31 Charles 24,00, it was enacted that the Note
and Foot of missing Fines should be re-engrossed without
fee: and that Feet of Fines newly engrossed, with their
Proclamations, for that term and the three subsequent
terms should be filed with the Custos Brevium of the Court
among the Feet of Fines of the same term, and the Notes
newly engrossed should be filed by the Chirographer with
Notes of Fines of the same term, and no fee should be
taken for any of these proceedings.
Mr. Norris then referred to the grant by letters patent
of James I dated 13 August 1609 to the Treasurers and masters

Report read of Mr. Smirke, the Surveyor,on works at the
Temple Church, stating that the repair of the part of the
Church formerly covered by the old houses in Lambs Buildings
is now nearly completed, and requesting what further work
should be done.
In course of the work done fragments of the ancient
fabric have been revealed, formerly concealed by a vaulted
building (attached to the south side of the Church), which
has now been removed. The original walls of the round Church
and nearly the whole of the great pointed window on the south
side are now under restoration.
Expense on the works to date, including the rebuilding
of the staircase to the adjoining chambers, is about £1600,
and Mr. Smirke estimates that restoration of the remaining
part of the walls of the round Church westward as far as
the archway, and the whole of the south front, should not
exceed £2500. Mr. Smirke also recommends covering with lead

Letter being read dated 14 March 1826 from Mr. ForIOw
to Mr. Brundrett, enclosing bills of tradesmen for rebuilding
party wall between his house and the ruins of the late Maidenhead
Public House, amounting to £154, which he requests
be examined under the direction of Benchers of Inner Temple
to determine the due amount he should pay. Mr. Fqrlow requests
consideration of his intention to purchase these
ruins, both for the extension of his house and to prevent
the recurrence of the former nuisance occasioned by a Public
House which had become the resort of disreputable characters.
Being attached to his house in which three generations of
his family had been born, he offered Mr. Wigg as agent to
the vendors 1000 guineas for the purchase of the premises
in their condition after the fire, and would have become
the purchaser had the intentions of the Society not been
conveyed to him by Mr. Brundrett under pledge of secrecy.
On noticing that part of the materials of the ruins (which
his offer had included) had been removed, he made this
the pretext for withdrawing, which gave the Society the
opportunity to make the purchase for £700. In return for
his cooperation, Mr. Forlow hopes the Benchers will afford
him such convenience as may be allowed without interfering
with their plan of improvements. He is willing to give up
his house in return for one in Mitre Court adjoining the

The lower part of the house is in a bad state, having no
cesspool, which Mr. Yorston would build at a cost of £10.
Further letter read from Mr. Brundrett to William Harrison
Esquire, Treasurer, dated 12 April 1826, acknowledging
the assistance of Mr. Farliow in enabling him to obtain the
premises in Ram Alley on behalf of the Benchers at a reasonable
price. Mr. Brundrett thinks Mr. Farlow is entitled to
some recompenjg for expente incurred. Mr. Brundrett has
completed the purchase of Joe's Coffee House, including
the brothel behind: the present lessee asks £300 for his
interest in the remainder of the lease to 30 September 1835,
but Mr. Brundrett considers this interest worthless as the
house is very dilapidated, although it appears that £40 or
guineas is paid for the brothel behind. The brothel behind
the house of Yorston the Stationer is empty and in deplorable
state, though it appears from Yorston's letter it may
have some use. Mr. Brundr2tt suggests that Mr. Smirke should
survey and report. Ordered that this be referred to Mr.

The accounts showed that £2800 was due to Mr. George, for
purchase of chambers, on Midsummer Day from the Rent Account,
also called the Building Fund: the bank balance in that
account of £2689..17..6 would leave a deficiency of £110..2..6,
which Mr. Gardner believed would be available in greater part
[from rents due] by 24 November. The Committee drew upon the
bankers for £2800 from the Rent Account to pay to Mr. George
on his surrendering the chamber.
£2000 is still due to the bankers on the Rent Account,
for which the Society is paying interest.
Demands on the General Account were laid before the Committee,
including payments due at Michaelmas, amounting to
£5178..4..8; but as several workmen's6;11 s had not been examined
by Mr. Smirke (according to Order of 9 November 1819),
it was impossible to fix the precise sum that would be due.
When dividends on the Society's stock for the current quarter
had been paid, the bankers would have in hand £2243..3..4
exclusive of other payments. Taking into account the amount
due to be paid, there remained a sum of £2935..1..4 for which
the Committee must provide.
Occupants of premises at the back of King's Bench Walk
are bound by law to pay two-thirds of certain expenses wholly
paid by the Society: this share amounts to £420..11..1 but
monies paid into the General Account before Michaelmas will

1826
MICHAELMAS TERM (Coned.)

Nov. 7 probably amount to well under £150.
The Committee found that by B.T.O. of 13 November 1753,
the Society's stock could be sold only by Order of the Table
on a date of which three days' notice must be given. It
therefore felt obliged to request the bankers to advance
£1300 on the General Account and £1700 on the Building
Account, although this involved payment of interest at
5% while return on stock was only 4%.
The Committee added the following remarks--
By BTO of 9 November 1819 on the appointment of Mr. Smirke
as Surveyor, it was ordered that no tradesmen's work other
than trifling repairs should be begun without Mr. Smirke's
order, and that vouchers should be delivered to him by the
tradesmen concerned as often as necessary so that examination
of work done could be made. These accounts to be delivered
to the Sub-Treasurer half-yearly for payment, an order subsequently
reduced to quarterly payments, but this revision
does not appear on the books. An anomaly appears, since
these payments should fall on the Building (or Rent) Account,
whereas by Order of 1 May 1818, the Sub-Treasurer is only
empowered to draw on the General Account.
Workmen's accounts have always been sent to the Sub-
Treasurer, instead of to Mr. Smirke as indicated above, and
have remained unpaid for long periods before submission to

741
1826
MICHAELMAS TERM (Cont'd.)
BENCH TABLE (Cont'd.)
Nov. 7 the Surveyor, explained by the Sub-Treasurer as due to
pressure of work and the need to examine bills first to
delete items for work executed on behalf of tenants, he
meanwhile paying sums on account to tradesmen pending a
final settlement. In the last year, a total of £1300
has been paid on account of tradesmen's bills for repairs
of the Church from the General Account, instead of from
the Building Account.
The Committee has submitted these bills to Mr. Smirke
for examination, asking him to reject any charges not
authorized by himself as laid down by Bench Order. It
has ordered a written notice to be sent to every tradesman
directing him to deliver to Mr. Smirke personally
quarterly bills for work done under Mr. Smirke's written
directions, and to deliver to the Sub-Treasurer quarterly
bills for trifling repairs carried out under the latter's
written directions. Work done in chambers without the
written order of either agent of the Society will be the
responsibility of the tenant for payment.
Bills returned to the Sub-Treasurer's office after
perusal by Mr. Smirke are to be laid before the Finance
Committee for payment out of the Rent (or Building) Account,
in full: the Committee recommends that no future part-payments
should be made, and that the Sub-Treasurer be advised

749-
1826
MICHAELMAS TERM (Coned.)
BENCH TABLE (Coned.)
Nov. 7 of this, and directed to pay no bill without approval of the
proper authority. In future bills payable out of the Rent
Fund should be paid by drafts given by the Finance Committee
(dated 27 June 1826).
The Committee has ordered notices to quit to be sent to
five tenants in arrear for rent of chambers, and on learning
that one had closed his chambers and was clandestinely removing
his furniture by night, and being also in arrear for taxes,
the Committee in their capacity of Commissioners of Taxes,
granted a warrant to break open the door and distrain. It
requested the Under-Treasurer to attend with a broker to distrain
for rent, but was informed by him that this could not
be done, as the legal estate is in Trustees, one of whom is
absent abroad, and no authority could be provided for the
broker. The Committee therefore recommend consideration of
an Act of Parliament empowering the Society to sue and be
sued, and to do all acts permitted by law in the name of
the Treasurer (dated 18 July 1826).
The Committee met on 21 July and paid the bill totalling
£3270..18..11, £1632..9..6 from the Rent Account and £1638..9..5
from the General Account. At a further meeting on 1 November,
it inspected the bankers' books and found a balance remaining
on General Account of £400..17..10, with £1300 due to the
bankers borrowed on 27 June (with interest), and bills on

Letter read from Daniel Whittle Harvey Esq.,
addressed on 15 November to William Harrison Esq., then
Treasurer, referring to his action 8 years earlier in
removing his name from the Roll of Attornies as a
preliminary step to being called to the Bar. He was
then receiving from an expanding practice a clear income
of £2,000, and in the years intervening could have
received upwards of £20,000, but accepted this sacrifice
in the conviction that he would ultimately achieve his
object, and that it would prove worthwhile because of
his knowledge of the matters engaging the attention of
the Society at the time. His position as unopposed M.P.
for the Borough of Colchester is testimony to his
reputation and just claim to the honour of being
restored to the books of the Society with a view to
call.
This to be considered on Friday next.

Mr. Treasurer reporting reply dated 23 November to
his letter to Mr. Smirke, as follows -
Mr. Smirke thinks it practicable to fit stove
as suggested in interior of Round Church, carrying
out smoke to the north.
He can adopt means to prevent transmission of
damp through the Round church pavement, removing
only 2 or 3 inches of earth but using new stone
for much of the pavement and relaying monumental
stones in a continuous line next to the wall.
The exact cost cannot be stated but should not
exceed £400.
The same procedure may be adopted for the
marble floor in the body of the church, though
condensation on the surface cannot be avoided when
warm air is introduced after the church has become
very cold.
Work may be done without interfering with
Sunday services.
Are double doors to the body of the church
necessary if the Round is well warmed? If so,
they might be placed at the entrance to the Middle

Aisle only, with the doors to the side aisles kept

Mr. Smirke regrets delays in work on the south
front, but with favourable weather it should be
completed in little over two months.
The workmen preping stone could not be removed
far from the church without causing delay and
inconvenience, but efforts will be made to reduce
noise to a minimum.
In removing old brickwork under the west gables
remains have been found of part of the ancient stone
gable, which with the approval of the Bench, Mr.
Smirke would like to restore (in so far as it forms
the gable of the south roof). The central gable,
half of which belongs to Middle Temple, must
presumably remain unrestored.
Mr. Smirke would like permission to take down the
old belfry, which is rotten and unsightly. The bell
might be rehung between the two roofs.
He will next Term have a plan to enlarge the Hall.
Ordered that Mr. Smirke restore the gable of the

He pleads pressure of business during the year since his

assistant in the office) to excuse the increase in arrears of
rent and smallness of sum collected for Commons. Under different
circumstances 2,2,OCC more would have been collected on sent Account
and a similar sum for Commons (on which Mr. Gardner would have been
due 3o poundage)
