of the Inner Tem le.

The Committee of Masters appointed in 1818 to investigate the accounts of the Society does not appear to have made any examination of the accounts of the late Sub-Treasurer.

According to a paper signed by

them they left it to the Auditors of the account for the year ending Nov. 1817 to settle what balance might be due from the Sub-Treasurer. In an unsigned paper they directed Mr. Norris to pay Messrs. Gosling ExSharpe two sums of ÂŁ2,756. 5. 1. and ÂŁ582.5., which he reported to be in his hands, and that two accounts should be opened entitled "General Account" and "Rent Account".

This was done on 7 May 1818, but as

no balance was struck the present examination has been started from the November preceding. N.B. From that time to the decease of the late Mr. Norris on 20 Jan 1827 the sums stated in his account books to have been received or paid by him for the Society have been compared with the vouchers specified,

floor south (H.B.Ray Esq.) has conSented to the closing up of his window without compensation, expressing hope of some accommodation in new arrangement to be made See letter C.) The arrangement for taking down the whole of No. 3 Tanfield Court being complete (see Statement, letter D), the proposed improvement can be carried into effect so as to be complete in itself, but capable of being finished later according to the original design. The Committee's difficulties were increased by the fact that proprietors of chambers were allowed no interest in the intended building, nor was any tenant except Mr. chambers.

Butt promised accommodation in the new Letting of chambers was suspended during the

negotiations, to allow more choice to those whose interests were affected by the proposed alterations, and with the same purpose three Masters of the Bench (W. Pott, J. Gurney and P. Ray) have allowed the Committee to let their Bench Chambers as they saw fit. (This will explain some loss of rent to the House through periods of inoccupancy). The furniture of some

Nov. 13

Re ort of Committee to in uire into Wash ots' complaint. On reference to the books of House it apnears that the Washpots are entitled to the commons and the Chief and Second Butlers to the exceedings from the Bench Table. Formerly the Bench had the same commons served to the Barristers and Students, with an additional dish or dishes termed "Exceedings". Because of the new plan adopted by the Bench to order a general dinner without reference to the Commons of the Hall, disagreement has arisen as to the division of Commons and Exceedings. To avoid cause of dispute the Committee suggest the following arrangement: if only one mess be ordered, the residue in the first instance to go to the butlers and the next to the washpots: if two mess, the butlers to take the first and the washpots the second: if three, the butlers to take the first, the washpots the second, and so alternate; and if four, the butlers to have the first and third and the washpots the second and fourth.

May 21

After communication with Mr. Welch, regrets he was not present when minute of May 18th regarding footway in front of new chambers, King's Bench Walk was made, as he might have been able to explain his plan. The width of the footway in front of HIlycourts Building is 12 ft. and looks narrow, although those chambers are more than 20 ft. lower than the new ones. So narrow a way as 10 ft. in front of a lofty building would have an objectionable appearance. He thinks the width should he not less than 12 ft.

Ending the

footway short of the end of the new buildings would cause three basement windows to open on to the garden, and as they are kitchen windows would cause a nuisance which it would be better to avoid by continuing the footway as he had proposed. This extension would not injure the garden and would produce a more satisfactory effect. April 14â&#x20AC;˘

The report of the Chamber Committee on projected improvements in Mitre Court being laid on the table, the subject to be considered on the Friday following, and Masters in town to be notified. [Report of Chamber Committee inserted here: summary follows ] Last term the widening of the inner part of Mitre Court and improvement of lighting to chambers in Mitre Court Buildings was considered and referred to the Chamber Committee. The Society had purchased Joe's Coffee House in Mitre Court and three houses in Ram Alley, and the site of the Maidenhead Public House, destroyed by fire in 1824, when chambers in Mitre Court Buildings and 1 King's Bench Walk had been in danger so that it was thought desirable to avoid future fire risk by purchasing the site. Mr. Farlow's house is within four feet of the chambers depriving them of light and air, and Mitre Court is only seven feet wide. The Committee consider it desirable to rebuild a house for Mr. Farlow, and to replace Brown's Coffee House by building on the site of Joe's Coffee House and the Houses in Ram Alley purchased by the Society: and to open the sites of Mr. Farlow's house, Brown's Coffee House and the Maidenhead Public House as an enclosed garden

1830

MICHAELMAS TERM (Cont'd.) BENCH TABLE (Cont'd.) (Report of Chamber Committee cont'd.) by which chambers in Mitre Court Buildings would be insulated from fire risk and acquire light and air: and Mitre Court would be increased in width from 7 to 20 feet for a length of 90 feet from Temple Gate. The Committee had negotiated with Mr. Earlow and the proprietors of Brown's Coffee House.

The

rent of the latter is £78.15s. per annum, and the tenant has a term of 12 years which he would not relinquish for less than £300.

The Committee has

purchased the lease for that sum.

Mr. Farlow's

house is a freehold where he, his father and grandfather have carried on business for nearly a century, and though old is substantial and rated low. The Committee have agreed terms as follows, subject to approval of the Bench:Mr. Farlow and the Trustees of Brown's Coffee House to convey sites of houses to Trustees nominated by the Bench.

The Society to build two houses on

sites as described above, plus a small piece of ground purchased of the Parish by Mr. Farlow. Mr. Smirke estimates expense of these houses as £2,800 but Mr. Vigers will contract to build for 2,700.

Besides, to compensate for expense during

involved considerable expense, but the large sum already expended in purchases would otherwise be wasted.

Report B of the Chamber Committee on project and improvements in Mitre Court. The Plan for improvements was discussed more than once by the Bench last term, generally approved, and the Committee asked to put it into execution.

was not put in the minutes as this might make the Bench's intentions known and lead to impediments. The Committee has been obliged to make some engagements and advances to avoid frustration of the plan. It has engaged to make good £95 for rent and taxes for one year on Mr. Farlow's house and has advanced £300 for the purchase of the leasehold of Brown's Coffee House, so that the Society is liable to payment of rent to the trustees for the remainder of the lease.

Trusting to this agreement being

observed, Mr. Farlow has given £150 to the Parish for the Charity Estate, and the money has been invested in the funds in the name of the Vicar and Parish officers, the interest to be applied to the purposes of the charity. No other legal obligations have been incurred, but the Committee believed the plan would be completed and conveyed this belief to the parties with whom

qp 1830

MICHAELMAS TERM (Cont'd.) BENCH TABLE (Cont'd.) Nov. 23

it treated. The depth of foundations necessary for the new chambers endangered Mr. Farlow's house and as the Committee believes caused some damage by producing a separation between the wall of that house and Brown's Coffee House. The premises already purchased are in too ruinous a state to be used for any purpose other than demolishing and selling or letting the ground.

ihe

site of Joe's Coffee House in Mitre Court may be of some small value, but ground in Ram Alley has none. The Parish offered the holder of the Charity estate there a building lease for 99 years, with no rent payable for the first 20 years, and he declined. If the site of the Maidenhead Public House were left open, light and air would be afforded to much of the eastern end of chambers in Mitre Court Buildings, and a way over it might be made from Serjeants

Inn.

The Plan offers the following advantages The complete insulation of chambers now rebuilding in Mitre Court Buildings, affording security from fire. The removal of a house which obstructs light and air allowing the northern side of the chambers almost as good a light as the southern.

The improvement of the avenue of Mitre Court, which could be widened from seven to twenty feet for ninety feet from Temple Gate.

The remainder of

Mitre Court is forty-eight feet six inches. This may be similarly widened by the purchase of the front of the stationer's house and the west end of Hope and Mitre Chop House for which opportunity may offer, in fact the purchase of the Stationer's would provide a means of obtaining the other property.

This plan would enable the Society to

make a carriage way into Fleet Street if it so intended: but in any case the Committee considers the additional expense would be justified in improving the present narrow approach to the new chambers. The improvement of access from Serjeants Inn, which is entirely occupied by professional men, so that communication between Inn and Temple is of mutual benefit. The old communication through Ram Alley and the Maidenhead Public House has been closed since the fire. The closing of Ram Alley, which was a great nuisance. Sums paid

MICHAELMAS TERM (Cont'd.) BENCH TABLE (Cont'd.) "Middle Temple - at Parliament held on Nov. 26, 1830. Parliament having considered Mr. Smirke's letters of 21 May and 30 June last regarding the removal of the organ and screens, and of the wood and plaster work filling in the three arches which formerly connected the Rounds of the Temple Church with the square body of the Church: ordered that Inner Temple be informed that Middle Temple regret they cannot at present entertain the subject." Sir Robert Baker gives notice of motion for the second Tuesday (Jan. 18) in the ensuing term for an amendment to B.T.O. of November 11, 1829 prohibiting any gentleman holding two sets of chambers on his own life unless both are for his own occupation. The state of the Watch referred to the Chamber Committee with power to regulate it, and if they think proper to discharge any of the Watchmen.

Sir Robert Smirke, the architect reporting as requested by B.T.O. of 7 May 1833 on the state of the buildings of Inner Temple, as follows: Buildings in the most defective state are Nos. 1, 2 and 3 Fig Tree Court and part of Crown Office Row: Nos. 1-6 and 9 King's Bench Walk: King's Bench Office: Hare Court Buildings: and Inner Temple Lane Buildings. Of these the following must be rebuilt within a few years as they are in a very insecure state - Nos. 1, 2 and 3 Fig Tree Court with part of Crown Office Row, and No. 9 Ying's Bench Walk.

These buildings

contain 39 sets of chambers of which 23 belong to

TRINITY TERM (Cont'd.) BENCH TABLE (Cont'd.) Sir Robert Smirke reporting (cont'd.) the Society, the others being held on lease for one life.

The expense of rebuilding is estimated as

ÂŁ17,000. It is thought probable that the following must also be rebuilt within 25 years - Nos. 3-6 King's Bench Walk, Hare Court and Inner Temple Lane Buildings: part of Farrars Buildings: Part of No. 3 Tanfield Court.

These contain 122 sets of chambers of which 67

belong to the Society and 55 are held on lease for one year.

The cost of rebuilding the whole is estimated

at about L40,000. Over the same period of 25 years it is probable that expensive repairs will be needed to the buildings Nos. [illegible] King's Bench Walk, and for securing the foundations under the southern part of Paper Buildings, but if ÂŁ2,000 per annum be allowed for building repairs during that period it may be sufficient to meet the expense, deducting the proportion paid by tenants having a life interest in the chambers. Exclusive of the chambers which it will probably be necessary to rebuild in the next 25 years, there are in the Inner Temple 203 other sets of which 120 belong to the Society and 83 held by tenants having a life interest.

One lecture in each class should be

delivered weekly, except in the long vacation and Christmas and Easter Vacations: all members of the Society should be admitted gratis: and other persons should be admitted on terms to be considered. It may be expedient to make attendance at lectures by students a condition for call to the Bar, but in the first instance the lectures should be regarded as experimental, and lecturers may therefore be paid by fee for each lecture rather than by annual salary.

Report read of Committee appointed to inquire into the accounts of the late Sub-Treasurer, as follows:Mr. Gardner has expended for the Society C704.19.4, and there is due to him from the balance of his salary and for poundage on commons and receipt-stamps a further £186.3.3, making a total of £885.2.7. due to him from the Society. The Committee recommend that the Treasurer cause to be procured 34 students' admission stamps, amounting to £837.5s., which it appears that the late SubTreasurer did not obtain from the Stamp Office [Deleted ft

although it is probable that by means of the

amount due to him and the balance in the hands of his bankers he intended to have done so before the audit day at which such stamps should have been produced."] The Society having paid this sum there would remain a balance due to him of C47.17.7. It appears that the assets of the late Mr. Gardner consist of a bank balance of C373.4.4., life insurance of C558.4., the inventory of his furniture of C245.15.6., which with the above balance due of C47.17.7 make a total of £1,357.18.7. Committee report further that Mr. Gardner's private debts amount to Z151.17.1, which they recommend should be paid out of the above total of £1,357.18.7., leaving a balance of £1,206.1.6.

Report of Committee on accounts of Mr. Gardner (Cont'd.) It further appears that Mr. Gardner as Sub-Treasurer had neglected to take out 28 barristers' stamps for calls to the Bar in the latter part of 1831 and the early part of 1832 amounting to £1,379.

The

Committee recommend that the balance of £1,206.1.6 arising from Mr. Gardner's assets be paid to the Society and that the [?] Treasurer be directed to pay into the funds of the Society the sum of £172.18.6 which appears to be deficient in order to procure the barristers' stamps. The Committee further recommend that the UnderTreasurer pay into the bank of Messsrs. Goslings & Sharpe all sums he receives on the Society's account on the day of receipt, and produce the banker's book to the Treasurer (when in town) once a month, or as the Treasurer may direct, and that the UnderTreasurer produce lists of admissions and calls and the book containing the admission stamps and .barristers' stamps for the Treasurer's examination and signature every term: and that Mr. Martin find security in the sum of £20041)thesureties to be approved by the Treasurer. Ordered that Mr. Martin collect the assets and apply them as proposed, and the Treasurer cause to be produced the stamps deficient.

Report of Committee on accounts of Mr. Gardner (Cont'd.) Treasurer's statement read respecting the late Mr. Gardner's children - as follows:"It will be apparent from the report of the Committee on Mr. Gardner's accounts that the loss sustained by him can only be met, and that imperfectly, by the seizure of all his assets, including the very furniture of his house, after which there will be absolutely nothing for his young family. If his son be appointed to succeed Mr. Martin as Clerk in the Treasurer's office, and also to collect the rents, as the Sub-Treasurer's clerk has been accustomed to do, the income he would receive would be as Mr. Martin's was, i.e. £200 a year, out of which the young man could support his infant brothers and sister; but considering his youth the Treasurer recommended instead that the Society should give him a salary of £75 and accept the kind offer of Mr. Martin to allow the young man to board in his house and to superintend him in collection of rents, leaving the remaining £125 at the disposal of the Bench for the support of the family.

The following

arrangements proposed: James Gardner (aged 17) should be employed as clerk in the office at a salary of £75 a year, and should board and lodge with the Sub-Treasurer till he is 21, paying V+0. William, the second son (aged 14) being desirous of going to sea, the Treasurer has produced for him an apprenticeship for seven years with a ship in the East India trade, with the Society paying £30 for the apprenticeship and his fitting out.

Between voyages

he would be allowed to stay with his elder brother. Henry, the third son (aged 10) should be placed with Mrs. Norris, widow of the late Mr. Randal Norris, to be sent to day school till he is 14 and then be

Report of the Treasurer (Cont'd.) apprenticed by the Society, Mrs. Norris being paid £25 per annum. John Carey, the fourth son (aged 7) should be placed in the London Orphan Asylum or in St. Ann's Society schools, on payment of £105 by the Society, where he would continue 7 years without further expense, [passage illegible] if this be not the -

case the Society should bind him apprentice. Aurelia, the only daughter (aged 5) should be placed in the care of Mrs. Norris and be educated and clothed during the pleasure of the Society and Mrs. Norris to be paid £25 per annum. Ordered that James Gardner be appointed clerk at a salary of £75 per annum, and that Mr. Martin's voluntary offer to collect rents and common

for the

present gratis be accepted. That the Treasurer be permitted to spend not exceeding £30 to fit William Gardner out for sea, that £20 be allowed for the support of the other children until next term, and that further consideration of the Treasurer's statement be adjourned till Tuesday 14th January next, and Masters in Town be notified.
