Both items in fair condition, aged and worn. ONE: ALS. 28 September 1872. 4pp., 12mo. Bifolium. He is 'taking somewhat of a liberty', but having heard 'that you are parting with one of your Clerks', says 'a word in favour of a person in whom for many reasons I take a great interest, & of whom you & your Brothers may know something. | I mean Mr. Prothero for many years an Inmate of my House, & an Assistant Master in the School'. Prothero was 'for some years a Clerk in the County Court', but 'is obliged from paucity of business to leave it, & is now out of employment'. He praises him as 'a most respectable, & trustworthy man, in whom you might place the most implicit confidence. He writes an admirable hand, & his experience in the County Court would I should think fit him for the work of a Solicitors Orffice'. He has a wife and three children. TWO: ANS. 20 April 1877. 1p., 12mo. He thanks him for his 'friendly communication', and hopes to 'have the pleasure of meeting some members of the Corporation as proposed on Monday next'. The beginning of Raymond Postgate's review in the Spectator (31 August 1961) of Ralph Arnold's book sums up the story of 'The Whiston Matter': 'In the year 1842 the Reverend Robert Whiston was appointed by the Dean and Chapter to be headmaster of Rochester Cathedral grammar school, which had been so badly run by the previous headmaster that only one pupil was left in it. He brought with him his own private pupils and his brother-in-law as assistant master; he was successful and popular and the school was ' quickly full again. The dean and chapter were pleased with him. They soon ceased to be. Whiston investigated the affairs of the cathedral and discovered that the statutes were being broken on a large scale. [] The chapter had pocketed the proceeds of these malversations, and he wrote to it requiring it to reform, and using fairly peremptory terms. But they would notthey were by now very rich. [] When Whiston published the facts about Rochester and other cathedrals in a pamphlet it was not very surprising that they dismissed him. [] The story of his subsequent fight and victory against the cathedral reads like an excerpt from Trollope or Dickens; it was in fact used by both of them as raw material.'. …

Begins: 'Gentlemen, | I have received a Notice from the Town Clerk, informing me that I have acted illegally, & infringed upon your Rights by endorsing & converting into a Dock, without your License, a portion of a Creek of the River Medway described in this Notice | Permit me then to assure you that in doing so, I acted without any knowledge that I was committing an illegal action, & I now beg to express my regret for having done so, in any way or to any extent.' He assures them that he is 'desirous of doing whatever may be right & proper in the matter', and asks them to grant him a license, for which he will be happy to pay a 'reasonable amount'. He hopes concludes 'in the hope that you will not compel me to close an establishment which furnishes some employment in & contributes somewhat to the trade of the City'.

Zustand: Near Fine. One page, contemporary docketing on verso. 24.25"x13.5" (62 x 33.5 cm). A legal transfer of property rights to tenants of the Cathedral Church of Rochester, in Kent. Of particular interest appear to be the choosing of succeeding tenants: here the Dean and Chapter "have given and grated and by these presents do give and grant unto the said John Owlett and David Day our full power and cnsent to alien sell afsign or mortgage the same premises mentioned in the said recited indenture of lease unto Thomas Rigarlsford of Rochester." Leasing and letting Cathedral-owned land was a complex business: David Day and John Owlett would have had to petition diligently to get permission granted to transfer any of the privileges of their leases to Thomas Rigarlsford. As such this document would have been of immense value to Day and to Owlett, and not inconsiderable interest to the Cathedral, which would have wanted to keep track of its tenants. Samuel Goodenough, whose name leads the head of this document, was the third son of Reverend William Goodenough. He is best known as a teacher and classical tutor at a school at Ealing, and for being one of the framers of the constitution of the Linnean Society, which was established in 1797. Goodenough was promoted to the Deanry of Rochester in 1802, two years before the writing of this document. Single leaf, parchment, written recto only, with embossed paper seal affixed. Old folds, near fine One page, contemporary docketing on verso. 24.25"x13.5" (62 x 33.5 cm).…
