Original Text
Legal Notice

Before Lord Chief Justice Abbott


488. THOMAS BARNES was indicted for burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling-house, of Lucas Houghton , about the hour of one o'clock, in the night of the 19th of February, at Edmonton, with intent to steal, and burglariously stealing therein a clock, value 12 l.; a tea-caddy, value 20 s.; eight ounces weight of tea, value 3 s.; a spoon, value 1 s.; three coats, value 3 l.; an umbrella, value 1 l.; a table cloth, value 1 s., and two books, value 20 s. , his property.

MR. ADOLPHUS conducted the prosecution.

MR. LUCAS HOUGHTON . I am a law-stationer, and have a country house in the parish of Edmonton. On Wednesday evening, the 19th of February, I was there, and was the last person up, and saw that the house was fastened up carefully. About seven o'clock next morning the servants, White, and Bye, called me up; I examined the premises and found somebody must have got down the grating where the coals are let into the cellar; it was lifted up - they had then got into the cellar, and cut away the wood work of the kitchen door, and undone the bolt; they had undone the kitchen window, and got out that way. I missed a table clock from the parlour, two volumes of a folio Bible, two great coats, and a body coat, an umbrella, a cloak, and a table cloth - my keys were taken out of my body coat with my pocket book, and left behind on a table. I also missed a tea caddy, which had been filled with tea a day or two before, and a silver caddy spoon in it. I went to town immediately, had hand bills printed, and distributed at the pawnbrokers, and on Friday, the 21st, I had information, and went to Mr. Button's a pawnbroker, Battle-bridge, and saw my great coat and the tea-caddy, still locked, and the spoon in it. The prisoner was a servant of mine; he had left me about nine months, and had been in a situation at Ponder's-end - he lived in Edmonton; I saw him on the Thursday evening after the robbery on the top of the Edmonton coach, at the Flower Pot , Bishopsgate-street; I went home on the same coach, and entered into conversation with him; he said he had not been to Edmonton for two days, that he had been in London after work; (this was the day on which I discovered the robbery.) I went home on getting to Edmonton, and had him taken into custody at his lodgings - he was searched, and four knives found upon him, and some tinder in a paper, and a file - one knife appears to fit the place in the door, where the wood is cut off; the constable fitted it. We found the feet of the stockings which he had on were muddy, as if he had been walking without shoes. I saw footsteps by the house in the morning, but did not notice them.

JOHN WHITE . I was in the prosecutor's service. At six o'clock my fellow servant called me up; it was light then. My master was afterwards called up. I observed the house in the situation described, and saw some hand marks on the top of the grating, and some footmarks, out of the kitchen window, on the ground, upon a flower border - they appeared to be made by a person without shoes, as there was no heel mark.

MARY BYE . I am servant to the prosecutor. I got up at six o'clock in the morning, it was just day light then. I went down, and found the house broken open, but saw nobody near the house. When the constable came he examined the premises.

JOSEPH GIBSON . I am a constable. Mr. Houghton sent for me about eight o'clock in the morning. I saw some candle grease outside the kitchen window where the person had got out, and the print of a footmark on the flower border, which appeared to have been made by a person without a shoe; some more footmarks were on the gravel, at a greater distance from the house, these had shoemarks, and the appearance of a piece of leather having been put on at the toe, fastened on with four nails, the marks of which were visible. When I took the prisoner into custody, there was a piece of leather on his shoe with four nails - I said,

"Barnes, you ought to have put the leather here the contrary way;" it corresponded in appearance with the marks on the ground, I did not fit it. I went to his lodging to enquire for him about nine o'clock that morning, but did not find him - I was in search of him all the day, and in the evening took him. I found some pieces of wood at the house, and in his lodging three knives, and one in his waistcoat pocket, with the tinder and file. I fitted the blade of the knife to the piece of wood, it appeared to correspond with the impression; a piece had been broken out at the point of the knife, and there was a notch left in the door where it did not cut, and one piece of wood has the mark of the broken part. I asked where he had been all day; he said he had been at work at Tottenham, and said nothing about coming to town on the stage. Mr. Houghton was not with me. The file was in the paper with the tinder.

WILLIAM EDGE . I lodged in the same room as the prisoner at Edmonton, but not in the same bed. He came home at half-past nine o'clock on the night of the robbery, and got up and went out as the watchman was going past two o'clock; he did not say where he was going. I got up at half-past seven; he was not in bed then - I saw him again in the evening.
Cross-examined by MR. LAW. Q. Were you awake all night - A. No. I sleep pretty sound.

DANIEL BUTTON . I am a pawnbroker of Battle-bridge, seven miles from Edmonton. On Thursday, the 20th of February, about half-past eight o'clock in the morning, the prisoner pawned the coat and tea caddy. I looked at the caddy and asked where he got it; he said his wife bought it at a sale - I asked for the key, he said,
"Oh! the key is of no consequence, you will not have it long, I only want 1 l. on the two." I asked his name, he said,

" Lewis Tayley , Newington-green;" I asked where there, he said at a house opposite the Bull. I lent 14 s. on the coat, and 6 s. on the caddy. I saw a hand-bill next day and gave information to the prosecutor, who came on the Saturday morning and claimed them. I went to the House of Correction, saw the prisoner, and said he was the man.

Cross-examined Q. You never saw him before - A. No. I am certain of him; he was in the shop five or ten minutes. I wrote him two tickets. I was busy hanging out things, and watched him into a public-house
I described him to the prosecutor. The value of the caddy is about 13 s., and the coat 25 s.

MR. HOUGHTON. I know them; there is a cypher on the caddy, and the spoon in it. I also know the coat. The three coats were worth three guineas, and the clock twelve guineas.
Prisoner's Defence. I never told Gibson I had been working at Tottenham. When I was going home on the coach, Mr. Houghton asked if I could get no work; I said I had been to town yesterday and again that day. When I got up in the morning, I thought it was five o'clock; the moon shone so bright into the room. I tried to get work at Tottenham, but could not, and went to town, and in crossing the fields to Newington, I overtook a man, who asked me to pawn the caddy and coat for him, and said he would give me some bread and cheese, and beer, and 1 s. - he came to Battle-bridge with me; I asked what name I should pawn them in; he said Tayley, and when we had had refreshment we parted. He said he might see me at Edmonton. This man has been brought into prison since, and put into the same ward as me - I got the Governor to move me as I did not like to be with him.

2178. JOHN DUFF was indicted for stealing, on the 30th of September, 2 pairs of boots, value 3l., the goods of Edward Gaubert.

WILLIAM WOOD . I am in the employ of Edward Gaubert, a boot and shoe maker, who lives in Lawrence Lane. On the morning of the 30th of September I was at the back part of the shop, and saw the prisoner run out of the shop—I ran, and caught his coat—he dropped 2 pairs of boots about half-a-minutes walk from the shop—I took them up, and saw the officer with the prisoner—I am sure he is the man.

Prisoner. I was walking along when the officer took me—I never saw the boots nor yet him till the officer took Mr. Witness. Yes, you did—you said, There are the boots."

CHARLES INMAN . I am a patrol of Cripplegate. I was in Aldermanbury on the morning of the 30th of September, and saw the prisoner in Fountain-court—I heard a cry of "Stop thief," and the prisoner was running—that was about 50 or 60 yards from the prosecutor's—I stopped him, Wood came up, and identified him.

Prisoner. I never offered to run.

1798 Land Tax Redemption for Mr Gaubert of Chiswick

The Good Intent Flour Mill was a co-operative venture started in 1802. Brentford Good Intent Society, which launched an ambitious mill and bakery building programme in 1802. The mill was to serve a large area. Shares were to be allocated to six divisions consisting of Isleworth, Brentford, Twickenham, Richmond, Hounslow, and Heston. There is no evidence that it flourished or even functioned as a mill, but it attained considerable notoriety while it was being built because its share-holders claimed to vote as freeholders in the parliamentary election of that year. (fn. 40) It is said to have stood at the Town Wharf in Isleworth (i.e. in Swan Street), (fn. 41) but the source of its power for grinding is unknown.

27. WILTON v. DUNN (Edward Gaubert) original
WILTON V. DUNN - WILTON, Executor of Mary Stinton, against DUNN. Friday, June 6th, 1851. Use and occupation. Plea: that the occupation of the premises was by the leave of plaintiff who was mortgagor in possession : that, after such occupation, the mortgagee, who was entitled to the land during the whole period of occupation, gave notice to defendant, claiming the mesne profits: that defendant until such notice was ready and willing to pay plaintiff; and that, from the time of such notice, he was liable to pay the mortgagee. Held, no defence at law. Qutere, whether actual payment to the mortgagee under pressure of this claim would have been a defence.    [S. C. 21 L. J. Q. B. 60; 15 Jur. 1104.]  Assumpsit by the executor of Mary Stinton. 1st count for use and occupation of certain premises, and undivided shares of premises, in the time of the testatrix. 2d count on all account stated with the testatrix. 3d count oii an account stated with the executor.  Plea, as to 1001. parcel of the moneys in the 1st count, 1001. parcel of the moneys in the 2d count, and 1001. parcel of the moneys in the 3d count, that Mary Stinton was seised in her demesne as of fee tail of and in the premises in the first count mentioned, and, being so seised, by indenture enrolled, conveyed them to the use of William John Holt and Henry Wilton the Younger, their executors and assigns, for the term of ninety-nine [295] years, upon trust, at the request of Mary Stinton, to raise a sum of money by mortgage; and, subject to the mortgage term, to uses over; whereby Holt and Wilton by virtue of the statutes became possessed of the premises for the term of ninety-nine years. The plea then shewed all assignment by Holt and Wilton of the residue of the term of ninety-nine years to Louisa Smith, by indenture, by way of mortgage, to secure the sum of 2001., with the common proviso that if the 2001. was paid within six months the assignment should be void. Averments that the six months elapsed, and that the 2001. was not paid and still continued unpaid. The plea then proceeded to aver that the said Louisa Smith did not, nor did any assign or assigns of L. Smith, enter upon or take possession of the said undivided parts and shares at any time before the commencement of this suit; but, from the time of the making the last mentioned indenture until the defendant became indebted to the said Mary Stinton in the said first mentioned parcel, the said M. S., as mort- gagor in possession but not otherwise, had the control, management and disposition of the same undivided parts and shares : that, while the said M. S. had such control, management, &c., and while the said M. S. had no other title to the same than as such mortgagor in possession, defendant, at his request made after the making of the last mentioned indenture, to wit on, &c., and, by the sufferance and permission of the said M. S., granted after the making of the said last mentioned indenture, to wit on, &c., for the time in the first count mentioned, which commenced after the making of the last mentioned indenture, held, occupied and enjoyed the said undivided parts and shares as in the first count mentioned, and thereby became and was indebted to the said M. S. in [296] the said sum of 1001., parcel as first aforesaid. That the said Louisa Smith, as such mortgagee as aforesaid, was, under and by virtue of the last mentioned indenture, from the time of the making thereof until and during the whole of the said time while the defendant so held, &c. as aforesaid, entitled to the immediate actual possession of the said undivided parts and shares, and, at and from the time when defendant became so indebted as last aforesaid, and until and at the commencement of this suit, was, and yet is, entitled by action of trespass to recover from defendant the value of the profits of the said undivided parts and shares for and in respect of the said time while the said defendant so held, occupied, possessed and enjoyed the same as aforesaid. That, after defendant became indebted to the said M. S. in the said parcel, and before the commencement of this suit, to wit on, &c., the said Louisa Smith, then being justly entitled to the said mortgage debt of 2001., and to recover the value of the said profits as aforesaid, assigned to Edward Gaubert all her right to and interest in the said mortgage debt of 2001., and the value of the said profits which she the said Louisa Smith was so as aforesaid entitled to recover from the defendant in respect of the time while he so held, occupied, possessed and enjoyed the said undivided parts and shares, and authorized the said E. Gaubert to use the name of the said Louisa Smith for the recovery of the value of the last mentioned profits in whatever manner might be necessary. That afterwards, and before the commencement of this suit, to wit oii, &c., the said E. Gaubert gave defendant notice of the said assignment to him, and required the defendant to pay to him the said E. Gaubert the said first mentioned parcel in which the defendant was so indebted as aforesaid, and which [297] did not exceed the amount of the value of the profits, which amount the said E. Gaubert was then and still is entitled to recover in the name of the said Louisa Smith from the defendant. That, from the time when defendant became indebted to the said M. S. in the said first mentioned parcel until and at the time when the said notice was so given to him as aforesaid, defendant was ready and willing to pay the first mentioned parcel to the said M. S. And that, from the time when the said notice was so given hitherto, defendant has been and yet is liable to pay the same to the said E. Gaubert. Averment that the said accounts in the second and last counts respectively mentioned, so far as they relate to the said secondly and thirdly mentioned parcels, were so stated as in the declaration mentioned of and concerning the first mentioned parcel, and of and concerning no other money whatsoever. Verification.  Demurrer, assigning as causes that the plea was an argumentative denial: and others which it is not necessary to notice (a). Joinder.  Cleasby, for the plaintiff. Assuming the plea to be well pleaded in form, it is bad in substance. All the cases on the subject are collected in the notes to Moss v. Gallimore (1 Doug. 279), in Smith's Lead. Ca. (1 Smith's Leading Cases, 310). It was supposed in Pope v. Biggs (9 B. & C. 245), and Waddilove v. Barnett (2 New Ca. 538), that notice, given to a person who had been let into possession by the mortgagor after the legal [298] estate had been conveyed to the mortgagee, requiring him to pay his rent to the mortgagee, entitled the latter to recover the arrears of rent : but that is overruled; Partington v. Woodcock (6 A. & E. 690), Evans v. Elliot (9 A. & E. 342). It is clear that the notice in this case -cannot change the contract under which the defendant had already become indebted to the testatrix, so as to enable Louisa Smith to sue on that contract. [Patteson J. Why do you say that is clear I I, indeed, think it impossible that the mortgagee could under such circumstances recover in an action on contract: but other Judges entertain a different opinion. I never could understand it. Erle J. The plea here does not rest the defence on the supposed effect of the notice in enabling the mortgagee to sue on the contract, but on the ground that the defendant may be compelled to pay this very sum as mesne profits, and that he has received notice of that liability ; but it is liability only. He does not say he has paid the money to any one. Lord Campbell C.J. Supposing that there are no formal objections to the plea, the question raised on this record seems to be, whether a liability of this kind, which may or may not end in an actual payment, is a good defence to an action.] In all cases in which there is an outstanding legal estate, the tenant in possession may, in the same manner, be obliged to pay the mesne profits to him who has the right to bring ejectment. Therefore, if this plea is good, a tenant should always be allowed to plead that the legal estate is outstanding in one who claims the rent, and threatens to bring ejectment. Such a plea is bad even when the tenant has under compulsion [299] of that threat paid the rent; Boodle v. Cambell (7 M. & G. 386). [Erle J. If we take notice of what a mortgage is in equity, the mortgagee is privy to the demise by the mortgagor in possession. Lord Campbell C.J. There is great difficulty in our noticing, at law, the nature of the equitable interest of the mortgagor. When there is a legal charge on the land, as in the case of a head landlord and a mesne tenant, an actual payment of the head landlord's rent by the puisne tenant, under pressure of a distress, would be an answer pro tanto to an action by the mesne tenant for his rent, on the principle that the tenant below has been obliged to pay a charge on the land which his intermediate landlord ought to have paid. But a mere liability to be distrained on would be no answer.] Keating, contra. The relation between mortgagor and mortgagee at law is that the mortgagor is tenant at sufferance to the mortgagee. [Patteson J. I can never agree to that. I know there are loose expressions in the books as to his being tenant at will, or tenant at sufferance : but he is not, in truth, a tenant at all.] At all   events, the mortgagee is entitled to recover the rent from the tenant, as mesne profits.   [Lord Campbell C.J. He may bring ejeetment and recover the mesne profits with or without notice. Your argument therefore goes so far as to say that the existence of   the unsatisfied mortgage is in itself a bar. Actual payment may be good on the   ground that the mortgagee is the authorized agent of the mortgagor to receive the   rents: but is there any precedent of a plea like this 7 A defendant may [300] in many cases be in great danger from cross claims, from which a Court of Law cannot (a) Cleasby, for the plaintiff, in the course of his argument relied on several objections to the manner in which the :title was pleaded: but, as the Court decided   irrespectively of them, they are not further noticed. relieve him. The threat of the mortgagee may afford a ground for going into equity for relief: but can it be a plea in bar at law'?  Waddilove v. Barnett (2 New Ca. 538), does not go so far as we must go if we support this plea. Patteson J. In Mr. Smith's note (1 Smith's Leading Cases, 317 b. 2d ed.), to Moss v. Gallimore (Doug. 279), it is said : "As the mortgagor ceases to be entitled to the rents upon the mortgagee's giving the tenant notice, it follows that the mortgagor cannot afterwards maintain any action for use and occupation against him, either for rent which accrued due after the notice, or for rent which accrued due before the notice but was unpaid at the time when the notice was given. But there is a difference between the modes in which the tenant must plead in the former and in the latter case. In the former case he should plead non assumpsit, and will be allowed to give the mortgage and notice in evidence, for 'when the mortgagee gave notice that the future rent was to be paid to him, it follows that the defendant ceased to, occupy by the permission of the mortgagor, but by the permission of the mortgagee;' and, of course, such a defence amounts to a denial of the contract alleged in the declaration, which avers the defen- dant to have used and occupied the land by the permission of the plaintiff, the mortgagor. But in the latter case, viz. where the rent became due before notice, but was unpaid at the time of notice, the tenant must plead his defence specially, for 'the mortgagor had a right of action against the defendant up to the time when the notice was given, and before the mortgagee required the rent to be paid [301] to him :' so that the tenant, by setting up this defence, confesses that the right of action, stated in the declaration, once existed, but avoids it by matter ex post facto, viz. by the subsequent notice from the' mortgagee." The propositions cited by Mr. Smith are from Waddilove v. Barnett (2 New Ca. 538). I think it a grave question whether the latter is not a fallacy. The point in truth did not arise in Pope v. Biggs (9 B. & C. 245) ; what fell from the Judges there were dicta merely. And I cannot comprehend how a right of action for the rents already due should be vested in the mortgagor before the notice, and the notice should undo that vested right of action and set up in lieu of it a right of action in the mortgagee. It was so said in Waddilove v. Barnett (2 New Ca. 538); but that case is beyond my comprehension.]   Lord Campbell C.J. The plea is new; and I am of opinion that this ingenious experiment should not be sanctioned. It calls on us, as a Court of Law, to do that which we have no power to do. We cannot protect this defendant from the threat of the mortgagee. Had the tenant under compulsion of that threat actually paid the mortgagee what was due, it might have been a defence. But this plea does not allege payment: it is a plea of a mere threat which may or may not be carried into effect. No authority has been cited in support of such a plea; and we ought not to make one.     Patteson J. I cannot see how the notice can be said to make this money not recoverable by the mortgagor and recoverable by the mortgagee, without denying [302] that the tenant held the premises by permission of the mortgagor. I do not see any way in which the mortgagee could sue this tenant for rent : but it is said that he may bring ejectment, and recover the same sum as mesne profits, and that he has threatened to do so : that, however, is no plea at law.     Erle J. Had it been pleaded that the tenant actually paid the mortgagee under this threat, I should have been inclined to support the plea. There has been so much doubt as to the legal situation of mortgagor in possession and mortgagee, that I say no more than that I think such payment might be a defence. But, as far as I can see on this plea, the present tenant may intend, after having enjoyed the land, to pay neither mortgagor nor mortgagee.  Judgment for plaintiff (a).  See, as to the right of the mortgagee out of possession to recover mesne profits, Turner v. Cameron's Coalbrook Steam Coal Company, 5 Exch. 932, and Litchfield v. Ready 5 Exch. 939. See also Mountnoy v. Collier, 1 E. & B. 630.  1294

no churchwarden or overseer of the poor, either in his own name or in the name of any other person, shall supply for his own profit any goods,materials, or provisions for the use of any workhouse, or otherwise for the support or maintenance of the poor in any place for which he shall be appointed overseer, during the time he shall retain such appointment, nor shall be concerned directly or indirectly in supplying the same, or in any contract or contracts relating thereto, under the penalty of 1001.

Held, that an overseer who supplied coals indirectly for the use of the poor, was not liable to any penalty, unless he did it with a view to his own profit.
[S. 4 D. & R. 628.]

This was a penal action, founded on the 55 G. 3, c. 137, s. 6. The first count of the declaration charged, that the defendant, on, &c., was overseer of the poor of the liberty of Saffron-Hill, Hatton-Garden, and Ely-Rents, in the county of Middlesex,duly appointed in that behalf, to wit, at, &c.,and that during the time he retained such appointment as aforesaid,to wit, on, &c.,did, in his own name, provide,furnish, and supply certain goods,to wit, coals for the use of a workhouse belonging to the said liberty for which he was appointed, to wit, at, &c., contrary to the form of the statute, by reason whereof, &c. Another count stated, that the defendant did, in the name of a certain other person, provide, furnish, and supply, for his, defendant's, own profit, coals for the use of a certain workhouse, &c. The third count stated, that he was concerned indirectly in supplying, for his own profit, coals, &e. The fourth stated, that he was concerned directly in supplying coals, for the use of the workhouse,(omitting the words, "for his own profit"). The fifth count was, that he was concerned indirectly in supplying coals for the use of the workhouse. The sixth count, that he was concerned in a certain contract relating to the providing, furnishing, and supplying goods, materials, and provisions for the use of the workhouse. At the trial before Abbott C.J., at the sittings after Michaelmas term, it appeared that the defendant was a coal-merchant, and that he was duly appointed overseer of the [7] liberty of Saffron-Hill, Hatton-Garden, and Ely-Rents, and during the time that he was overseer, a quantity of coals were provided for the workhouse, nominally by one Gaubert, who was the brother - in - law of the defendant, but that the latter had an interest in the coals. It was doubtful upon the evidence, however, whether either he or Gaubert made any profit by them. The Lord Chief Justice was of opinion, that unless the defendant acted with a view to profit, it was not a case within the 55 G. 3, c. 137, s. 6 ; and he told the jury to find for the defendant, if they were of opinion, upon the evidence, that the defendant did not send in the coals with a view of making a profit. The jury having found for the defendant, a rule nisi for a new trial had been obtained in last Hilary term.

Scarlett now shewed cause. It is quite clear, that if the defendant had, in his own name, or in the name of another, supplied the coals for the use of the poor at prime cost, he would not have been within the words of the Act of Parliament, because they would not be supplied for his own profit. The words, for his own profit, over-ride the whole clause; for the Legislature cannot have intended to subject a party to a penalty, concerned directly or indirectly in furnishing and supplying provisions for the poor, or in any contract relating thereto, when the very same party does not incur any penalty by supplying the same provisions in his own name, provided it be not done for his own profit.

Southampton Street, Strand  14 October 1819

My Lord
I beg respectfully to bring to your Lordships recollection of circumstance of the Dowager Countess of Liverpool writing to your Lordship on my behalf in respect to a grant of land at the Cape of good Hope which was applyed for (if I have not been deceived in this as in other matters by Mr MAHONY) on the 20th of August last in the joint names of MAHONY and TURVEY.  Since your Lordships consent to the grant has been received in the separate name of MAHONY that gentleman’s conduct has been such as leaves the [rest of us] no hope but in your Lordships Justice, he then refusing to comply with any of the agreements entered into prior to its receipt.

A second grant application was then agreed on and your Lordship permitted 5 names more to be added to the 7 then agreed to by Mr MAHONY & me making my part of the grant to consist of 12 families, most of whom have parted with their houses and businesses and Mr MAHONY now a second time refusing to comply with his promises to them they look anxiously to me for your Lordships decision. 
Your Lordship will perceive how cruel it was to hold out false hopes to any Men under such a momentous undertaking as emigration and it is impossible to conjecture what his motives could be in so doing. Those persons my Lord are willing to come and declare on oath the hopes which were held out to them, they have all made their arrangements and have purchased fire arms and other articles for the undertaking and as my Lord we are placed in this unheard of situation and as the government do not interfere with the agreements between the settlers and the persons they take out may we my Lord entreat a grant for our party, which consists of

Mr John BURGESS, farmer, Burwash Sussex, whose name was in the first list
Mr Peter DANIEL, jeweller (quitting business) and family
Mr CAMPBELL, surgeon, and family


and myself and sons, and 7 able bodied husbandmen selected at Burwash Sussex and who, though industrious men with large families are now in part a Burden on that Parish.


In presuming my Lord thus to intrude you will perceive that justice to the parties who have been led through me to hope compel an act I would not as an individual think of.  I also my Lord feel that I owe it to the recommendation of the Countess of Liverpool to whom I have the honor of being known for 12 years and who has so much interested herself in endeavouring to procure this ground for me and to whom Mr MAHONY is intirely unknown except through me.

Anxiously waiting your Lordships answer

The labourers have been selected at Burwash in Sussex and though industrious men are now in part a burden on that Parish.  The principle part of our arrangements prior to emigration are already made.
I have parted my house.  Mr CAMPBELL has sold his house in Great Marlborough Street.  My eldest son has sold his house and business and on his way to London – and we possess the means of carrying our plans into execution under the direction of Providence.

30. Baron Von ANDLAU

John Robert Nicholas GAUBERT (bapt.04 Apr 1836, the son of John Peter GAUBERT & Elizabeth MANNERS) was married on the 1st Aug 1861 in Holy Trinity, Clapham, to Caroline Emilia Wilhelmina Augusta VON ANDLAU. He was described as a merchant, the son of John Peter, merchant, deceased. and had one child:  Lina Amelia/Emelia Marie or Caroline Amelia "Lena" GAUBERT born 16th Mar 1863). John's father John Peter Gaubert lived at one time at Clapham Common. 

In webpage Newspaper Cuttings, there's an advert on 2nd May 1825 in The Morning Chronicle by Houghton & Gaubert, Legal Stationers of 119, Chancery Lane and 30, Poultry regarding the letting of Spencer Lodge on Wandsworth Common. Co-incidentally Von Andlau lived nearby at Gothic House, Clapham Rise where he ran a school. Maybe it was this close proximity that brought John Robert Nicholas and Caroline Emelia together. I've found a biography on the net by a former pupil at Von Andlau's school. Below is a selected extract from the collection of -

My early school days are not remarkable for anything in particular. The first school I went to was kept by a dame the house is still in existence in the Hammersmith Road, between Nazareth House and St Paul's School ; from there I went to King Edward the Sixth's School at Berkhampstead, and then to a school kept by a Baron Andlau at Clapham Common, with a view to acquiring a knowledge of modern languages, especially German, which language all boys were supposed to speak during play hours, or pay a penny fine. From Clapham Common I went to

The secretary visited Paris twice in 1853, but stayed only a few days. He again went, on 14th April, with Baron Andlau, and returned on the 24th, and repeated his visit on the 6th, returning on the 10th ; left on the 4th of September, and did not return till the 5th of October. He was off again on the 21st. The only communications that have been preserved commence before his last departure ; and it will be seen that he was now on a totally different mission. The emperor desired his services to assist his military arrangements for the Russian war. He gives the following account of them, and of the duke. The manner in which he procured the habitations required, and set up the barracks, gained him great favour. Monday Afternoon, March 13th, 1848. On Saturday night I was occupied for five hours making a catalogue of the bonds, &c., now in my care. I have money to the amount of 200,000/., and gems, &c., to the amount of 90,000/.,* and all was safe at my house this morning when I left, and I hope will be there when I return. You will say, " Where is the rest ?" I will tell you as far as I know. First, the bankers have just pur- chased for him at a low figure, 40,000/. Russians ; there- fore they have not yet been delivered. Then Andlau has the 90,000/. Three per Cents., French, which he is going to change in Paris for Five per Cents. Aridore, the Belgian agent, has 62,000 Belgians to change either for others or to be paid off; but where the 60,000 Louisiana are I know not at least, I could not ask him too much, or he would have got frightened. I have only one saddle-bag, No. 4, and if your brother Henry will lend me his brougham to go in, / will show him all. Now, then, for your assist- ance. After he had decided what he would entrust me with, he started ; in fact, he told me that before then his fear had been of my house being destroyed by fire, and the paper-money thereby lost. I, fearing to lose the oppor- tunity, said I had got (which I have) an iron chest, but alas ! mine is too small, and I am compelled to keep the saddle-bag in a cupboard perfectly safe, except against fire. I want your permission to move your iron chest, till I deliver up the treasure again. My reason for making this curious request is this : he might perchance come to my house to look and see that it was all safely deposited in iron. I fear, on looking at your iron box, that I shall not be able to get the saddle-bag in, but 1 may the money, &c. A C1UESUS. 307 law; but this time nolens volens. A man named Welsener had printed a catalogue of the duke's dia- monds, one thousand two hundred in number, valued at 15,300,000 francs, on the agreement of paying 3 cents per page for each copy, which made the cost 9830 francs. The duke denied the agreement, and offered to pay 3500 francs. The tribunal, however, awarded 6000 francs. Extensive as is this collection, it was stated in the pleadings that the duke was then in treaty for the purchase of two more gems, one at the price of 1,100,000 francs, the other at 3,000,000 francs. Mr. Duncombe entertained misgivings respecting his splendid inheritance. Although his secretary was still frequently sent to Paris, the testator and the heir had not seen each other for many years. The latter was kept acquainted with his friend's proceedings, but did not go to Paris. Occasionally he had inter- views with the duke's former equerry, Baron Andlau, at whose school his son was educated ; but no written communication came from the duke.
