This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  that  was  preserved  for  generations  on  library  shelves  before  it  was  carefully  scanned  by  Google  as  part  of  a  project 
to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 
to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 
are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover. 

Marks,  notations  and  other  marginalia  present  in  the  original  volume  will  appear  in  this  file  -  a  reminder  of  this  book's  long  journey  from  the 
publisher  to  a  library  and  finally  to  you. 

Usage  guidelines 

Google  is  proud  to  partner  with  libraries  to  digitize  public  domain  materials  and  make  them  widely  accessible.  Public  domain  books  belong  to  the 
public  and  we  are  merely  their  custodians.  Nevertheless,  this  work  is  expensive,  so  in  order  to  keep  providing  this  resource,  we  have  taken  steps  to 
prevent  abuse  by  commercial  parties,  including  placing  technical  restrictions  on  automated  querying. 

We  also  ask  that  you: 

+  Make  non-commercial  use  of  the  files  We  designed  Google  Book  Search  for  use  by  individuals,  and  we  request  that  you  use  these  files  for 
personal,  non-commercial  purposes. 

+  Refrain  from  automated  querying  Do  not  send  automated  queries  of  any  sort  to  Google's  system:  If  you  are  conducting  research  on  machine 
translation,  optical  character  recognition  or  other  areas  where  access  to  a  large  amount  of  text  is  helpful,  please  contact  us.  We  encourage  the 
use  of  public  domain  materials  for  these  purposes  and  may  be  able  to  help. 

+  Maintain  attribution  The  Google  "watermark"  you  see  on  each  file  is  essential  for  informing  people  about  this  project  and  helping  them  find 
additional  materials  through  Google  Book  Search.  Please  do  not  remove  it. 

+  Keep  it  legal  Whatever  your  use,  remember  that  you  are  responsible  for  ensuring  that  what  you  are  doing  is  legal.  Do  not  assume  that  just 
because  we  believe  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  the  United  States,  that  the  work  is  also  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  other 
countries.  Whether  a  book  is  still  in  copyright  varies  from  country  to  country,  and  we  can't  offer  guidance  on  whether  any  specific  use  of 
any  specific  book  is  allowed.  Please  do  not  assume  that  a  book's  appearance  in  Google  Book  Search  means  it  can  be  used  in  any  manner 
anywhere  in  the  world.  Copyright  infringement  liability  can  be  quite  severe. 

About  Google  Book  Search 

Google's  mission  is  to  organize  the  world's  information  and  to  make  it  universally  accessible  and  useful.  Google  Book  Search  helps  readers

death  it  was  completed  by  his  son,  John  William  Cooper. 

The  index  to  Volumes  I — IV  was  made  by  Charles 
Henry  Cooper,  the  index  to  Volume  V  has  now  been  made

M.P.,  Had  R,  G.  Tnwnley,  Esq.,  M.P.^  also  addressed  the  Meeting. 

In  the  Uou»e  of  Commons,  on  the  23rd  of  April,  Mr  Heywo 
moved  to  the  following  effect : 

That  all  aystems  of  academical  education  reqaire  h-om  time  to  time 
some  modifioation,  from  the  change  of  external  oirctimstaticeg,  the  progress 
of  opinion,  and  the  LnteUectoal  improvemeut  of  tlie  people. 

That  in  the  anoieot  Eoglkh  and  Inah  Uoiversiiies,  and  in  the  CoUegea 
connected  with  thein«  the  interests  of  religions  and  useful  learning  have  not 
advanoed  to  an  extent  commensurate  with  the  great  resources  and  high 
poeitioD  of  these  bodies  t  that  collegiate  siatutes  of  the  15th  century 
oooaitionally  prohibit  the  local  authorities  from  introducing  any  alterations 
into  volaniinous  codes,  of  whioh  a  large  portion  ai'e  now  obsolete;  that 
better  laws  are  needed  to  regulate  the  ceremony  of  matriculation  and  the 
granting  of  degrees,  to  diminish  the  eYctnaiTeness  of  the  university  libraries, 
to  provide  for  a  fairer  distribution  of  the  rewards  of  scientific  and  literary 
merit,  to  extend  the  permisgion  of  marriage  to  tutors  of  colleges,  and  to 
facilitate  the  registration  of  electors  for  the  univerBlties;  that  additional 
checks  might  be  considered  with  reference  to  the  continued  extravagance  of 
individual  students :  and  that  the  mode  of  tenure  of  college  property  ought 
to  be  ameliorated^  particularly  in  Ireland: 

That,  as  it  is  Her  Majesty's  right  and  prerogative  to  name  visitors  and 
oommissionera  to  inquire  into  the  ancient  tmiversitiee  and  oolleges  of 
England  and  Ireland,  an  humble  addre^is  be  pres^iuted  to  Her  Majesty^ 
praying  that  Her  Majesty  would  be  graciously  pleased  to  issue  her  Royal 
ComToission  of  enquiry  into  the  stAle  of  the  universities  and  colleges  of 
Oxford,  Cambridge,  and  DubUn,  with  a  view  to  assist  in  the  adaptation  of 
those  important  institutions  to  the  requirementa  of  modem  times. 

Mr  J.  W.  Fortescue,  Mr  W.  Fagan,  Mr  Sadleir,  and  Colonel

tsupport  the  motion,  but  announced  that  the  Government  would  advise 
her  Majesty  to  issue  a  Royal  Commission  of  enquiry  for  the  Univemtiee

Having  announced  in  my  place  iu  FturUament  the  tnlention  of 
Her  Majeety's  Ministers  to  adri^e  that  a  Koyal  Coiiimififiion  should  be 
appointed  to  enquire  into  the  state  and  revenues  of  the  UniversitieB  of 
Oxford  and  Oambridgef  into  the  provisiona  of  the  Statutes  by  which  the  said 
UniveiaitLeB  and  th«iir  several  Colleges  are  governed,  and  to  report  their 
opmione  whether  any  measmreB  can  be  adopted  by  the  Crown,  or  by  Parlia- 
ment, by  which  the  interests  of  religion  and  Round  learning  may  be  pro- 
moted in  the  conduct  of  education  in  the  said  Universities,  I  am  anxious 
10  explain  to  yonr  Royal  HighncBs,  the  views  of  Her  Majesty^s  confidential 
servants,  in  recommending  thi«  measure  for  Her  Majesty's  approbation, 

1  will  not  enter  here  into  the  question  of  the  legality  of  such  a  Com- 
miasion.  Had  it  beeo  proposed  to  exercise  powers  going  beyond  enquiry 
and  report,  such  a  question  might  enter  into  consideration.  But  the 
inosent  Commi^on  will  be  a  Commission  to  receive  evidence,  and  to  report 
opinions,  without  powers  to  determine  any  question,  or  to  prescribe  any 
ootLne,    It  becomes  the  more  expedient  that  the  views  which  are  entertained 

the  subject  should  be  explained. 

No  one  will  now  deny  that  in  the  course  of  tln-ee  centnrieM  the  increase 
general  knowledge,  the  growth  of  modern  literature^  the  dlaooveries  in 
physical  and  ohemioal  scienoe^  have  reudered  changes  in  the  course  of  study 
at  onr  national  Universitiaa  highly  expedient.  The  Universities  themselves 
have  folly  acknowledged  this  expediency,  and  very  large  reforms  of  this  nature 
have  been  adopted  both  at  Oxford  and  Cambridge,  Tbcjc  improvements 
•o  wisely  conceived,  reflect  the  highest  credit  on  those  learned  bodies. 

The  object  of  the  proposed  Commission  is  not  to  interfere  with  these 
ehaoges,  but  to  facilitate  their  progress :  not  to  reverse  the  decisions  of  the 
UnivcTBities  by  an  authority  ab  extrat  but  to  bring  the  aid  of  the  Crown, 
and  if  necessary,  of  Parliament,  to  assist  in  their  completion. 

This  can  be  done  in  two  ways :  First,  by  ascertaining  and  recording  for 
the  information  of  the  Queen  and  the  two  Houses  of  Parliament  the  new 
ngnlations  which  have  been  promnlgated,  and  the  mode  in  which  those 
rogulations  are  expected  to  take  effect. 

Secondly,  by  obtain  in^  a  knowledge  of  the  obstacles  which  are  interposed 
by  Ihi  wtils  of  Founders,  the  retention  of  Customs,  aud  the  decisions  of 
aathority,  to  the  full  development  of  that  targe  and  improved 
of  study  which  the  Umversities  have  sought  to  establish. 


m 


12  VICTORIA.  [1850 

I  will  explain  the  nature  of  the  obstacles  to  which  I  allude. 

In  many  oases  the  advantages  and  emoluments  in  the  separate  Colleges 
are  limited  by  the  wills  of  the  Founders,  either  to  the  natives  of  some  par- 
ticular county  or  district,  or  to  the  scholars  educated  in  a  particular  school, 
or  in  some  instances,  to  the  descendants  of  the  Founder  and  his  fomily. 
Such  restrictions  cannot  fail  to  be  injurious,  and  to  be  injurious  in  pro- 
portion as  the  field  of  choice  is  narrowed  by  the  particular  condition 
annexed  to  the  advantages  of  the  College. 

In  other  instances,  the  directions  of  the  Founder's  will  cannot  be  com- 
plied with  under  the  existing  law,  and  in  such  instances  it  might  fairly  be 
considered  whether  the  interests  of  learning  and  the  wants  of  the  country 
may  not  be  better  consulted  by  an  expansion  of  the  governing  Statutes. 

Matters  of  this  nature,  however,  require  deliberate  and  calm  enquiry. 
Commissioners  conversant  with  the  state  of  our  Universities,  and  versed  in 
a  knowledge  of  the  general  policy  of  our  law,  will  be  of  essential  service  as 
well  in  pointing  out  the  path  of  safe  improvement,  as  in  marking  the  dangers 
of  heedless  innovation. 

Various  questions  may  and  must  arise  in  the  course  of  this  enquity. 
For  instance,  has  the  school  which  has  the  privilege  of  conmianding  fellow- 
ships or  other  advantages  in  any  particular  college,  fallen  off  or  increased  in 
numbers  and  consequence  since  the  bequest  was  made?  Has  the  family  of 
the  Founder  left  few  or  many  descendants  to  enjoy  his  bounty?  In  the  case 
of  religious  services  prescribed  by  the  Founder,  but  now  prohibited  by  law, 
does  it  appear  to  have  been  the  wish  of  the  Founder  that  in  case  no  such 
religious  services  could  be  performed,  the  foundation  was  or  was  not  to  aid 
in  the  purposes  of  education  ?  In  the  case  of  royal  foundations,  how  far  has 
the  Crown  the  power  of  consulting  the  good  of  the  University  in  the  applica- 
tion of  the  endowment  of  a  former  Sovereign  ? 

These  and  similar  questions  require  care  for  their  investigation  and  pru- 
dence in  their  solution.    For  this  purpose  the  utmost  care  will  be  taken  in 
,  selecting  Commissioners,  who  may  not  only  be  well  qualified  for  their 
important  task,  but  who  may  inspire    confidence  and  respect  by  their 
character  and  position. 

I  have  the  honour  to  be. 

With  the  greatest  respect. 

Sir, 

Your  Boyal  Highness's  dutiful  and  obedient  Servant, 

J.  BUSSELL.

In  May  the  following  Address  was  presented  to  the  Vice-Chancellor. 

Mb  Vice-Chancellob, 

We,  the  undersigned  resident  members  of  the  Senate,  beg  leave 
to  express  to  you,  as  the  acting  guardian  of  the  interests  of  the  University, 
the  sentiments  which  have  been  excited  in  us  by  a  recent  declaration  of 
the  Prime  Minister  made  in  the  House  of  Commons.

The  First  Lord  of  the  Trea^arj  is  reported  to  hmve  nmiounced  tbAt  it  Is 
the  intention  of  MinUtera  to  advise  Her  Ma jeity  to  iasue  a  Royal  Commission 
to  inquire  into  the  revenues  and  educatiou  of  the  two  Universitiefi  of  Oxford 
and  Cunbridge;  declaring  also  that  one  object  of  Buch  ioquirj  was  to  be  to 
Moertain  means  by  which  the  instruction  given  in  the  CoUegea  should  be 
rendered  gervioeftble  in  preparing  Students  for  the  examioationB  in  new 
flubjectii  of  study,  lately  instituted  by  the  University. 

We  have  no  wiah  to  deny  that  suoh  a  harmony  and  connexion  between 
the  subjects  of  College  titud^r  and  of  UniverBity  examinations  should  exist, 
as  in  fact  such  connexion  ftlways  has  existed,  and  is  likely  to  f^xist  under 
the  change  of  studies,  if  time  &nd  opportunity  be  left  for  its  growth  by  the 
natural  operation  of  Uuiveraity  honours,  and  the  advancement  of  those  who 
have  obtained  them  to  the  position  of  tutors  and  examiners.  But  we 
oaimot  help  looking  with  the  greatest  alarm  at  the  prospect  of  having 
attempts  m&de  to  establish  such  a  connexion  of  College  and  University 
snbjeets,  by  the  action  of  any  power  extrsneous  to  the  University  and  the 
Oolleges.  We  conceive  that  any  attempt  to  compel  the  Colleges  to  appoint 
teftchers  or  to  reward  proficients,  by  external  agency,  would  be  an  inter- 
ference with  their  internal  freedom  of  a  kind  utterly  unheard  of  except  in 
the  worst  times^  and  altogether  destructive  of  their  just  and  ancient  cor- 
porate  rights. 

The  First  Lord  of  the  Treasury  is  reported  to  have  further  said,  that 
there  exi&t  in  the  foundation  and  statutes  of  various  Colleges,  reBtrii5fionB 
which  prevent  the  Colleges  from  making  proper  arrangements  for  the  teaching 
and  encouragement  of  new  Btudi&'<,  such  as  tho^e  above  referred  to.  This  is 
certainly  a  mistake  with  regard  to  the  Colleges  in  this  University,  There 
ifl  nothing  in  the  foundation  or  statutes  of  our  Colleges  which  will  prevent 
them  from  changing  their  practical  system  bo  far  as  to  include  such  newer 
seieDoes  in  their  scheme  of  tuition  and  reward. 

We  do  not  think  it  unreasonable  that  the  Government  should  give  the 
University  and  the  Colleges  credit  for  a  willtDgness  to  make  such  changes, 
BO  ioon  OS  they  can  he  made  effectually.  For  the  University  has  in  the 
oonrte  of  the  last  few  yeare  made  many  im])ortsnt  changes,  to  which  in 
sueoeasion  the  Colleges  have  generally  adapted  their  syst^'ms.  And  the 
great  change  recently  introduced,  by  which  the  moral  sciences  and  the 
OBturml  sciences  are  appointed  to  be  subjects  of  examination  and  grounds 
of  Academic  honour,  was  made  spontaneously  by  the  University,  and  has 
b«en  followed  up  by  a  great  increase  of  the  interest  taken  in  the  lectures 
wbioh  bear  upon  the  subjecti^  thus  encouraged* 

The  elTeclnal  operation  of  such  changes  aa  Aose  recently  made  neoet- 
■ftrilj  requires  some  time.  The  new  studies  could  be  imposed  with  fairneas 
npoR  those  only  who  oame  to  the  University  after  the  law  was  enacted ;  and 
eonseqaently  the  first  examinatious  under  the  new  system  have  not  yet 
been  held*  A  few  ytsars  will  be  required  to  give  the  tone  to  the  auxiliary 
tuition  which  may  be  supplied  on  the  new  subjects  ;  and  till  the  new 
honours  have  been  actually  attained  they  cannot  operate  upon  elections  to 
feUowahi|M»  or  other  oQices  of  emolument.    But  there  is  no  reason  to  believe 


14 


VICTORIA. 


CouA 


UmBT 


that  such  a  traio  of  muiuai  operation  of  one  part  of  tbe  Univtsi-iiitj  sjafl 
apon  another  will  not  in  time  take  place  iu  thie  case,  as  it  has  done  in  oti 
casen,  if  the  University  be  left  to  itaelf.    The  interference  of  a  enmmisd 
and   the   consequent   introdtjetion   of  legislative  meaaureB  in   Parlian 
would  prevent  such  a  natural  progress ;  for  it  would  then  be  expected  th 
the  result  of  every  step  should  be  brought  about  through  the  agency  of  the 
OommiBsion  and  of  Parliament,  not  through  the  usual  influences  which 
operate  in  the  University. 

If  there  be  any  cases  in  which  a  change  of  the  statu teR  of  amy  Colli 
neceflsary^  in  order  to  conft^nn  its  pi-actice  to  the  recent  impitiveinenta| 
the  University  Eiysteni,  the  legal  and  customary  mode  is,  that  the  Coll 
fihould  apply  to  the  Crowii  as  well  as  the  Visitor  for  confirmation  of 
change.  In  this  manner  many  changes  and  improvements  have  lately 
been  made  in  College  statatea.  Several  of  the  CollegeSt  comprising  a  lar^ 
majority  of  the  members  of  Ibe  University*  have  thus  obtained  new  bodies 
of  Btatates*  with  the  full  approval  by  the  Crown  of  the  changes  made.  In 
some  ctLsen  such  improveiutintH  have  been  made  when  it  was  known  that 
they  would  lead  to  sacriticea  of  a  pecuniary  interest  on  the  part  of  thoae 
who  promoted  tbem.  Moreover,  members  of  the  University  officially  ap* 
pointed  have  long  been  laboriously  and  assiduously  employed  in  preparing  8 
revised  body  of  University  Statutes  for  conHimation  by  the  Crown* 
conceive,  therefore,  that  there  is  no  ground  for  fluspecting  either  the  Univen 
or  the  Colleges  of  any  unwillingness  to  obtain  an  alteration  of  their  statu 
by  legal  meann,  when  thf*  hetttr  administration  of  their  affairtt  reciuires  enoh 
alteration* 

We  believe  that  it  is  acknowledged  by  the  best  tawyera  that  a  Royal 
Commission  sent  to  Colleges  or  to  either  of  the  UniversttieSi  and  claiming 
power  to  regulate  the  affairs  of  those  bodies  in  a  way  different  from  that 
prescribed  by  their  statutes,  in  illegal  and  unconstitutional.  We  would 
submit  to  you  that  the  iK'knowledgment  of  this  illegality — one  of  the  fTnits 
of  the  revolution  of  1688 — will  no  longer  be  of  any  value  to  Universities  and 
Colleges,  if  the  Ministry  for  the  time  being  can,  after  sending  down  a  Koyal 
Commission,  as  is  now  proposed,  take  ocoaaion  therefrom  to  introduce  into 
Parliament  bitls  interfering  with  the  revenues  and  internal  arrangements 
and  altering  the  statutes  of  Universities  and  Colleges,  in  a  manner  different 
from  that  which  is  conformable  to  the  Jaw  of  the  land,  and  has  hitherto 
been  practised. 

The  Commission,  as  is  reported  to  have  been  officially  declared  in  the 
House  of  Commons,  would  be  without  power  to  oompel  evidence.  This 
being  so«  persons  in  positions  of  trust  in  the  University,  and  in  Colleges, 
may  think  it  their  duty  to  decline  giving  evidence  before  the  Conmiisa 
on  the  matters  committed  to  thuir  trust.  And  if  this  should  oocur, 
whole  evidence  brought  before  the  Commission  will  be  that  of  persons  ^ 
have  no  otlicial  knowledge  of  the  state  of  the  ease,  and  may  be  very  possibly 
coloured  by  partial  feelings  and  opinions  adverse  to  the  University  and  lit 
recent  proceedings. 

These  being  our  groands  of  alarm  at  the  antionnoement  above  referred  to.

The  Vice-Chanoellor  has  oo  mm  nnicaied  to  ibe  Headn  of  CollegeB,  Lord 
John  Rusaeirs  explanation  **of  the  views  of  Hei  Majestv'R  cotifidt  nlial

*'be  promoted  in  the  conduct  of  eduostion  in  the  said  UiiivfrsitieB." 

The  Vice-Chancellor  ft^ls  much  pain  in  Btating  that  this  communication 
■o  far  from  dispelling,  has  confirmed  and  increased  the  objections  nnd 
ai^prehenBions  which  the  Heads  of  Colleges  entertained,  in  conjuncti^^n  with 
himself,  at  Lord  John  Bufiseirs  announcement ;  and  in  expressing  hi» 
conviction  that,  if  made  known  to  the  Senate  at  large,  it  would  produce  a 
•ittilar  efl^t  upon  them. 

The  Addreas  of  Resident  Members  of  the  Senate  to  the  Vice-Chancellor, 
which  has  been  submitted  to  your  Royal  Highness,  bo  clearly  and  satis- 
factorily meets  nearly  every  point  of  his  Lordship's  letter,  that  il  seems

*'  neoesjtary,  of  Parliament,  to  abbiH  in  thdf  completion/' 

To  tlilB  it  may  be  re^pectfuHy  submitted  that  the  changes  are  already 
made,  and  require  nothing  but  time  to  tfst  tbtm,  whether  or  not  they  ate 
beneticial,  and  whether  or  not  they  may  be  usefully  extended.  If,  as  la 
confidently  hoped,  the  verdict  of  experience  be  in  their  favour,  the  University 
now  hae  within  itself  the  power,  and  (the  Yioe-Cfaaneellor  believes)  the  will 
to  complete  and  extend  the  good  work. 

It  is  ImpoBaibte  to  say  beforehand  how  these  additional  branehea  of 
stady  will  afect  the  distribotion  of  h  on  on  re  and  rewards  in  the  eeveral 
CollegeB :  this  too  can  only  be  ghewn  by  time  and  expeiicncc.  How  fiar 
thoae  who  attain  honours  in  the  new  Triposefl  mn^f  be  deemed  worthy  to 
share  in  the  rewards  hitherto  mainly  i^ven  to  proicienta  in  mathematical 
science  and  claasical  literaturet  will  be  Been  after  a  few  examinations  have 
been  held :  if  deemed  worthy,  the  CollegeB  posseBB  urn  pie  power  to  reward 
them.  Lord  John  BuBsell  i^eemB  Lo  be  under  the  impresaion  that,  in  each 
College,  some  particular  branches  of  study  are  prescribed  to  Candidates  for 
Fellowships  and  Scholars  hips,  and  that  the  electors  are  restricted  to  re- 
warding profioienta  in  those  branches  only.  But  with  respect  to  the 
Colleges  in  Cambridge  at  least,  this  is  not  so.  There  ts  no  difhculty 
created*  no  far  as  the  Vice-Chancellor  is  aware,  by  the  Statutes  of  any 
College  in  this  University,  to  the  I'ocoiitnitiou  of  any  part  of  Hotiud  and 
useful  learning  as  a  qualilioation  for  advancement  to  positions  of  honour 
and  trust  within  it> 

Bis  Lordship  state^^  that  *'in  many  oa^s  the  advantages  and  emolu* 
'*  mentfl  in  the  separate  Colleges  are  limited  by  the  wills  of  Founders  either 
**  to  the  natives  of  some  particular  County  or  District,  or  to  the  Scholars 
**  educated  in  some  particular  School*  or  in  some  instances,  to  the  dejicend- 
♦»ant8  of  the  Founder  and  his  family.  Such  restrictions  cannot  fail  to 
"be  injurious^  and  to  be  injurious  m  proportion  as  the  field  of  choice  is 
^*  narrowed  by  the  particular  condition  annexed  to  the  advantages  of  the 
"  College,*' 

The  absolute  restriction  to  the  descendants  of  a  Founder  and  his  family 
of  any  emoluments  is  very  rare  in  this  University,  if  it  exist  at  all. 

In  the  opinion  of  the  Heads  of  Colleges,  to  disregard  and  set  aside 
entirely  tlie  wishes  of  a  Founder  in  the  disp>oBal  of  his  bounty ;  and  to 
open  unreservedly  to  all  Candidates  what  was  given  by  him^  and  accepted 
by  a  College,  as  an  advantage  to  a  particnlar  County,  District,  or  School* 
would  be  an  interference  with  the  rights  of  property  botli  dangerous 
unprecedented. 

If  the  proposed  plan  be  persevered  in,  the  Vice-Chancellor  can  on 
regard  with  the  deepest  anxiety  and  sorrow  the  future  prospect  of  the 
University.  The  issuing  of  a  Boyal  Commission,  especially  after  having 
been  earnestly  deprecated  by  ho  large  a  number  of  resident  Members  of 
the  Senate,  will  be  taken  to  imply  that,  in  the  opinion  of  Her  Majesty's 
MinisterB,  the  governing  body  of  the  University  are  unfit  for  their  position; 
and  that»  although  possessing  the  power  to  adapt  the  institutions  over  which

capaciij  to  do  so.  Regarde<l  in  thiw  pomt  of  view,  the  Vic«-ChflDoellor 
fe^rs  that  it  will  be  felt  hm  an  affront  and  ah  ituUgnity  ;  ftud  as  8uch  will  be 
rtfttittii,  A  painful  straggle  will  in  all  probability  enhue,  whicli,  whiitever 
timy  be  ita  tei-inination»  will  destroy  the  peace  and  impair  the  uaefulneaa 
of  the  Collegiate  bodies  and  of  the  Univerttity  tit  large  for  many  yeara 
to  oonie ;  and  will  tnevitably  create^  in  the  minds  of  a  largo  b(Kiy  of  edu- 
cated men,  a  pennanent  feeling  of  distrust  in  the  wisdom  and  justice  and 
generofiity  of  the  govemment  of  the  ooimtry,  and  a  spirit  of  resistance  to  its 
aalhority  and  iniuenoe. 

The  Vice-Chancellor  begs  to  be  forgiven  for  expresBing  himself  thus 
frankly;  and  for  adding  his  earnest  hope,  that  after  all  those  diiEculties  and 
objections  have  been  stated,  her  Majesty's  Ministefa  may  be  induced  to 
reconsider  their  recommendation. 

On  the  27th  of  May,  his  Royal  Highiieas  Prince  Albert,  Chancellor 
of  the  University,  addressed  the  following  Letter  totheVice-ChancelJor 
on  the  subject  of  the  proposed  Commission. 

Mt  Dbab  Vicr-Chanosllo8. 

You  have  represented  to  me  that  it  would  be  of  importance  to  the 
University  to  be  made  acquainted  with  my  opinion  and  views  as  to  the  line 
of  conduct  which  the  Univeraity  should  pursue  respecting  the  propoted 
Bpyal  Cotnroission  of  Enquiry,  particularly  as  the  Duke  of  Wellington, 
ftR  Chanoellof  of  the  University  of  Oxford,  haa  stated  his  opinion  in  the 
House  of  Lords. 

I  have  to  express  my  grateful  sense  of  the  confidence  which  the  antho- 
ritiefi  of  the  University  have  at  all  times  shewn  me,  and  of  the  readiness 
with  which  they  have  attended  to  any  suggestions  of  mine,  and  I  can  bear 
testimony,  since  my  connexion  with  them,  to  the  zeai  and  industry  with 
which  they  have  laboured  in  the  direction  of  reform  and  improvement  in 
the  system  of  education  and  studies.  You  are  already  aware  that  I  did  not 
know  of  the  intention  of  her  Majesty^s  Government  to  advise  the  issue  of 
a  Royal  Commission,  in  time,  before  Lord  John  Hussell's  speech  in  the 
of  Commons,  to  be  able  to  communicate  with  the  University,  or  to 
uij  opinion  on  the  proposed  course.  1  have  since  felt  that  it  waa 
not  onnattural  on  the  part  of  the  University  to  look  with  apprehension  at 
^he  proposed  measure,  as  affording  a  means  to  those  who  may  be  Ul  disposed 
towards  these  venerable  institutions  to  vent  their  hostility  against  them, 
mod  also  to  regard  it  as  a  proof  of  want  of  confidence  in  their  ability  or  in- 
eliaation  to  carry  out  useful  reforms,  which  would  be  doubly  painful  to 
Ibem  at  a  moment  when  they  must  be  conscious  of  having  least  denerved 
sneh  a  reproach. 

I  am  glad,  however,  to  find  upon  further  communication  with  the 
Oorenuneot,  that  nothing  could  be  farther  from  their  intention  than  to 
flul  tnch  a  alnr  upon  the  University,  and  that  they  were  anxious  to  shew 


riCTORIA. 


fmo 


tbeir  desire  not  to  expose   the   University  to   net^dlcss  hostility,  by  the 
aeldCtion  of  the  persona  who  arc  to  compose  the  Boyal  Commiasion. 

Although  I  had  hoped  that  the  TJnivprsitj'  would  have  been  allowed  to 
go  on  in  their  courBe  of  self- Improvement,  without  nray  extraneous  inter- 
ference, now  that  I  find  thf*  Government  irrevocably  pi  edged  to  the  i»«ii« 
of  the  CommisBion^  I  would  recommend  the  aiithoritie«t  of  the  University 
not  to  meet  it  with  opposition,  but  rather  to  take  it  as  the  expression  on  the 
part  of  the  Crown  and  Parliament,  of  a  natural  desire  to  be  aceurately 
informecl  upon  the  present  iitate  of  Institutions  so  closely  connected  with, 
and  of  Buoh  vital  importance  to»  the  b«?8t  interests  of  the  nation  ;  and  to  take 
a  pride  in  shewing  to  those  who  have  indulged  in  attacks  against  them, 
that  they  have  conscientiousiy  and  zealonsly  fullUled  the  great  taali  en- 
tmaied  to  them. 

Any  hostility  or  opposition  on  the  part  of  the  University  could  not 
prevent  the  issue  of  the  Coramission  by  the  present  Government,  and, 
while  it  might  add  strength  to  the  aocusations  of  their  enemies,  would  only 
lead  to  the  result  of  the  enquiry  remaining  iDcomplet4?,  and^  as  based  upon 
one-Bided  evidence,  probably  injnrioua  to  the  Univeraitiefl  theiuaelves. 

Believe  me  always, 

Yours  truly, 

ALBEBT,  C,

At  a  Council  held  on  the  10th  of  October,  a  Repcjrt  of  a  Committee 
waa  read,  stating  that  such  Committee,  after  a  diligent  and  minute 
investigation  of  facts,  were  of  opinion  that  there  are  not  any  extra- 
parochial  places  witliin  the  Borough,  and  that  such  of  the  properties 
tpecified  in  the  Appendix  to  that  Report,  as  were  not  then  actually 
AflBesaed  to  parochial  rates,  were  l^aUy  liable  to  bo  so  assessed.  The 
Report  concluded  as  follows  : 

itb  leepect  to  the  course  which  ought  to  be  taken  to  charge  to  the 
;h  Bate  the  property  not  now  actually  assessed  to  the  Parochial  Kates, 
but  legally  liable  to  be  so  assessed,  your  Committee  would  observe  that  it 
is  open  to  the  Connoil,  either  to  add  the  value  of  the  non -assessed  property 
to  the  Rental  of  the  Pariah  wherein  the  same  is  situate,  and  to  assess 
the  Borough  Rate  on  the  Rental  so  augmented,  leaving  the  Parish  either  to 
aiaose  tuoh  property,  or  to  establiMh  the  fact  of  its  being  extraparochialf 
(in  which  latter  event  i£  would  be  assessable  to  the  Borough  Rate^  though 
in  a  djffereni  form),  or  for  the  Council  itself  to  try  the  question  of  the 
liability  of  such  property  to  parochial  assessiiient,  which  may  be  done 
in  various  ways.  Lookiug,  however,  at  the  general  importance  of  the 
question,  bearing  in  mind  how  extremely  Hupine  the  Parishes  have  for  a 
long  period  been  in  asserting  their  rights,  and  howdlfficuit,  if  not  impossible, 
H  might  be  to  induce  them  to  act  with  the  union  and  energy  which  from  the 
of  the  ease  is  eawntial  to  secure  success,  and  oonaidering  in  how

embarraBfiing  and  distreBsing  position  by  the  conflicting  claims  of  doty  and 
interest ;  your  Committee  are  induced  to  entertain  the  opinion  thai  the 
Conncil  ought  itself  to  take  8tep«  to  obtain  an  authoritative  settlemiiiit  of 
the  question »  whether  the  UniTeriuty  and  Colleges  ai^  by  law  exempt  from 
aMeasment  to  Parochial  burdens. 

Tour  Committ<*e  beg  to  recommend  that  a  copy  of  this  Report 
forwarded  to  the  Yice-Chanct^llor  and  the  Heads  of  the  several 
in  the  University,  together  with  a  respectful  intimation  that  the  Coane 
are  of  opinion  that  the  projjerty  oc5cupi*'d  by  the  UniverHity  and  Colleges 
not  now  assessed  to  the  Parochial  liateB  i^  legally  liable  to  be  so  assessed, 
and  that  the  Council  are  therefore  resolved  to  take  immediate  steps  to 
get  such  propeiiy  assessed  accordingly,  but  are  at  the  same  time  desiions 
of  proceeding  to  do  so  with  all  posBiblc  courtesy  consistent  with  the  due 
difloharge  of  what  they  consider  an  important  and  imperative  duty,  and 
therefore  desire  to  be  informed  by  the  Uuiveraity  and  Colleges  respectively , 
at  their  earliest  oonveciiencei  if  they  intend  to  dispute  their  liability  to 
be  assessed  to  the  Parocliial  Bates  :  and  that  should  they  do  so,  the 
Conncil  will  be  prepared  favourably  to  consider  any  suggestions  wbioh 
they  may  respectively  have  to  o0er  for  procuring  an  adjudication  upon 
the  question  as  si>eodily,  m  fairly,  and  with  as  Little  expenoe  as  may  be 
practicable. 

Your  Committee  beg  further  to  suggest  that  a  copy  of  this  Report 
be  sent  to  the  Churchwarden «  and  Overseers  of  the  Poor  of  the  several 
Parishes  within  this  Borough,  and  that  the  Officers  of  those  Parishes 
which  have  usually  received  the  sums  paid  by  the  Vice- Chancellor  on 
account  of  the  University,  be  requested  henceforward  to  decline  receiving 
any  money  on  that  aocount. 

It  appears  to  your  Committee,  that  should  the  Council  suoeeed  to 
establishing  the  liability  of  the  University  and  CaUegeti  to  Parochial  liatea 
generally,  the  Council  ought  to  be  prepared  to  assent  to  a  repeal  of  the 
HQActment  under  whtoh  two-fifths  of  a  part  of  certain  expenoes  of  oartying 
out  the  Cambridge  Improvement  Acts  are  payable  by  the  University, 
provided  that  body  and  the  Colleges  therein  aubmit  to  be  rated  under 
those  Acts  for  the  proi^erty  in  their  occupaiion,  and  enter  into  a  >^tisfactory 
arrangement  for  the  more  equitable  apportionment  in  future  of  the  reHpectivc 
contributions  of  the  University  and  Town  to  the  Laiul-Tax.

VIOTOUIA. 


[li 


On  the  4th  of  Novembor,  died  Ertieat  Frederick  Fiske,  M.A. 
was  bom  in  Cambridge  being  son  of  Thoma>i  Fiake  solicitor.  He 
practised  the  same  profesaion  in  this  town  for  several  years  but  after- 
wards entered  himself  at  Emmanuel  College^  where  he  graduated 
(B.A.  1846,  M.A.  1849)*  In  1848  he  obtained  the  Maitland  Prize  for 
an  Esiiay  on  the  following  subject:  "The  respective  i>e€uliaritiab  in  the 
creeds  of  the  Mahoinedau  and  the  Hindu  which  stand  in  the  way  of 
oonversion  to  the  Christian  faith.'*  This  was  printed  at  Cambridge  1849. 

At  a  Council  held  on  the  7th  of  November,  Mr  Fetch  projKwed  the 
following  Resolutious  : 

1.    That  the  several  oommon  laudn  within  this  Borough,  oonl 
387  acres  or  thereabouts,  are  greatly  overstocked  and  are  usuall^y  depaita 
by  persons  who  have  no  legal  right  so  to  do.  and  many  of  whom 
inhabit  within  tlit!  Borough  uor  contribute  to  the  public  charges  thereof* 

'2,    That  these  abuses  have  been  of  long  oontinuance,  are  highly  injurious 
to  the  Hate  payers,  and  are  of  snob  general  and  diversified  character  that 
it  has  been  found  utterly  impracticalile  to  satinfactorily  prevent  the 
without  resorting  to  litigation,  which  would  excite  much  ill  will  and  i 
great  expence. 

B,  That  such  Common  Lands,  if  improved  and  properly  regulated, 
might  be  made  generally  beneHcial  to  the  inhabitants,  without  producing 
any  injury  to  those  persons  who  have  le^al  rights  thereon. 

4.  TuAT  witli  the  view  of  affording  benefit  and  protection  to  the  poorer 
classes,  the  equitable  claims  of  those  intiabitants  who  bave  long  enjojui 
privileges  on  the  Common  Lands  ought  to  receive  favoiurable  consideratio 

5.  That  it  is  the  opinion  of  this  Council  that  Parliament  can  do 
supply  the  required  remedy,  and  that  it  is  therefore  expedient  that  appli* 
cation  be  made  to  the  Legislature,  in  the  ensuing  Session^  for  an  Act  of 
Parliament  to  extinguish  all  Common  Rights  on  the  said  Lands,  and  to 
make  provisions  for  their  improvement  in  such  manner  that  all  the  inhabi- 
tants of  the  Borough  may  participate  therein^ 

6.  That  certain  portions  of  the  said  Lands,  to  be  specified  and  not 
exceeding  in  the  whole  thirty  acres*  might  be  beneficially  disposed  of  by 
public  tender,  on  Building  Leases,  or  for  occupation  as  Gardens  at  adequate 
annual  rents. 

7.  That  Parker's  Piece  and  the  Land  between  the  same  and  the 
East  Koad  ought  to  be  permanently  continued  as  a  common  place  of  re- 
creation for  the  inhabitants  and  the  public. 

8.  That  the  residue  of  the  said  Lands  ought  to  be  used  for  agistment 
of  cattle  belonging  to  inhabitant  householders  within  the  Borough  at 
feaflonable  charges  and  under  auch  regulations  as  the  Council  {or  a  Com- 
mittee thereof  to  be  appointed  for  such  purpose)  miy  from  time  to  time 
deem  proper. 

9.  That  the  present  annual  value  of  the  pasturage  on  the  said  Cotninon 
Lands  ought  to  be  ascortainc'd,  iind  the  amount  thereof  apportioned  is

I 


waj  And  maimer  as  ma^  be  considered  most  ^^juitable,  amongst  those  parties 
who  eKiablish  le^al  rights  of  Common  thereon, 

10.  That  the  sum  payable  bj  the  Eastern  Counties  Railway  Compftogr, 
aa  compensation  for  Common  Kights  on  Sturbridge  Fair  Green,  ought  to 
fonn  part  of  the  sum  to  be  apportioned. 

11.  That  Commissioners  ought  to  be  appointed  to  decide  (subject  to 
appeal)  all  claims  to  rights  of  Common  od  the  said  Lao  da, 

12.  That  the  Connoil  ought  to  be  empoweied  to  grant  rights  of  agistment 
on  the  said  Common  Lands,  either  gratuitouslj,  or  on  reduced  terms,  to 
inch  poor  persons  as  have  for  upwards  of  twenty  years  past,  depastured 
cattle  thereon,  although  they  may  not  have  been  legally  entitled  bo  to 
do,  but  no  Huch  grant  to  extend  beyond  the  lives  of  the  Grantee  and  of 
his  wife  during  her  widowhood,  and  every  suoh  grant  to  be  determinable 
by  non-residence  within  the  Borough, 

IB.  T&AT  provision  ought  to  be  made  for  commuting  the  Tithes  which 
will  be  payable  in  respect  of  suoh  Lands  when  the  rights  of  Commou  upon 
the  same  shall  be  extinguished,  the  Bent  charge  payable  in  lieu  thereof 
to  be  paid  ont  of  the  Borough  Fund. 

14.  That  fifteen  members  of  the  Council  be  appointed  a  Committee 
to  frame  a  BiU  for  carrying  out  these  objects,  and  that  the  Town  Clerk 
forthwith  give  the  requisite  notices  of  the  intentiou  to  apply  to  Parliament 
for  such  an  Aet  in  the  London  Clazette  aud  the  Cambridge  Chronicle  and 
Cambridge  Independent  Presa  Newspapers. 

Mr  Coward  proposed  oB  an  amendment  to  the^  HeBolutiotiB  : 

Tbat  any  interference  with  the  rights  and  privileges  of  the  Commoners, 

such  as  it  \»  competent  for  the  Couocil  now  to  exercise,  is  tnex- 

1,  inasmuch  as  it  would  tend  to  curtail  the  means  of  subsistence  of 

g  poor  in  many  parishes,  and  thereby  considei'ably  augment  the 

expenditure. 


I 


Mr  Kutter  propotted  that  Mr  Fetches  resolutions  should  be  referred 
ittee.  Mr  Coward's  amendment  having  been  negatived  by 
3,  Mr  NuttcTs  pro]K>8al  was  unanimously  agreed  to.  At  a 
Couiicii  hold  on  the  9th  of  Novetnbcr,  it  wah  proprjacd  that  the  necessai-y 
I  noH|8i  ahould  be  given  of  an  application  to  Parliament  in  the  ensuing 
BwIhi  tor  an  Act  to  eSuct  the  purpo^$es  mentioned  in  Mr  Fetch's  re* 
fwluUoiui^  it  being  underHtood  that  the  Council  did  not  pledge  it«elf  to 
prooend  Atrther  in  the  mntter,  unless  it  should  thereafter  be  considered 
eipedieni  to  do  no.    Tht^  proposal  was  n^atived  by  1 1  against  10. 

At  the  Quarterly  t^'ouncil  held  on  the  9th  of  November,  a  resolutioo 
wiiA  unanimouijly  agreed  to,  approving  of  Lord  John  RusselFtt  Letter 
to  the  Bishop  of  Durham  on  the  subject  of  a  Bull  of  Pope  Pius  IX,, 
A»r  tho  GstAblishment  of  Roman  Catholic  Bishoprics  in  England.

jMition  t>f  Getjrgo  Whi taker,  and  he  and  his  son  Thomaa  Whitaker  were 
80on  afterwards  a[)preheaded  for  araon,  of  which  crime  they  were  oon-

Mr  Fen  wick  (through  his  Attorney)  delivered  in  a  protest  against  the 
proceedingti,  on  the  ground  that  he  was  a  Master  of  Arte.  This  protect 
was  immediately  overruled,  and  the  Justices  im[K>^  fines  of  20#.  and 
costs  on  Mr  Fetiwick  and  of  lOs.  and  costs  on  each  of  his  men.  These 
sums  not  lieing  paid,  warrants  were  a  few  days  afterwards  issued  for 
the  arrest  of  the  defendants,  who,  immediately  they  were  taken  into 
custody,  paid  the  amounts  imposed. 

On  the  loth  of  December^  the  following  Address  was  presented  to

We,  your  Majesty *s  dutiful  and  loyal  subjects,  the  Cbaneellor 
Masters  and  Scholar*  of  the  Uaiversity  of  Cambridge*  humbly  beg  leave 
to  approach  the  throne^  to  express  to  yoar  Majesty  our  grateful  acknowledg-

It  baa  hitherto  been  our  gieat  privilege  to  regard  the  realm  of  England

Wg,  therefore,  moat  humbly  h<jg  leave  to  tepreflent  onto  your  Majesty 
thai  it  k  with  deep  concern  that  we  have  learned  that  the  Bishop  of  Borne 
bat!  arrogated  to  himself  the  right  to  intermeddle  with  the  goverumeni  of 
our  country,  and  to  ignore  the  aooient  episcopacy  of  our  church,  by  preaum- 
ing  to  confer  on  certain  of  yonr  Majesty^a  subjects  professing  the  Boman 
Catholic  religion  the  higheat  ecclesiastical  titles,  derived  from  Engliali  towns, 
together  with  territorial  jurisdiction.

We,  therefore,  humbly  pray  that  your  Majesty  will  be  graciously  pleased 
lo  direct  such  measures  to  be  taken  as  thia  infraction,  if  not  of  the  letter 
ipl  ijf  the  spirit,  of  our  bwH  ^eins  to  demand,  and  thus  secure  to  your 
HljeHty's  devoted  and  affectionate  pt^ple  the  full  possession  of  their  aacieot 
rights  and  liberties. 

In  the  meanwhile  oar  mo»t  earnest  desire  is  that  Almighty  God  may  long 
lire^erve  your  Majesty  to  i-eign  in  peiuse  over  a  loyal  and  contented  people. 

Her  Majesty  replied  in  the  foUowiug  terms  : 

I  THANK  you  for  your  loyal  and  dotiful  address. 

I  rtTLLT  participate  in  your  expivKsion  of  gratitude  to  Almighty  God 
for  the  blestiings  wliich  he  has  bten  pleaded  to  bestow  ujwn  thi«  country, 
and  I  rejoice  in  the  prouf^i  which  have  been  given  of  the  zealous  and 
Uudimiuished  att«vehment  of  the  Englisli  people  to  the  principles  aaaeried 
at  the  Itefoiination* 

Wbilje  it  is  my  earnest  vviiih  that  complete  freedom  of  oomioieitoo  should

interests  from  the  grievances  under  which  they  laboured.  Certain 
resolutions  in  favour  of  protection  to  agriculture  were  unanimously 
agreed  to,  as  were  also  petitions  to  both  Houses  of  Parliament,  setting 
forth  the  alarming  condition  of  all  classes  in  the  coimty  who  were 
dependent  on  the  prosperity  of  i^culture,  the  decline  in  the  value 
of  land,  the  scanty  employment  for  and  depressed  condition  of  the 
poor,  that  the  trading  interests  were  in  a  state  of  gradual  decay,  attri- 
buting these  evils  mainly  to  the  removal  of  the  restrictions  upon  the 
importation  of  foreign  com  and  cattle,  alleging  that  the  heavy  national 
and  local  taxation  to  which  the  British  agriculturist  is  subject,  and  other 
circumstances  not  under  his  controul,  raised  the  cost  of  producing  com 
in  this  kingdom  considerably  above  the  cost  of  production  in  countries 
not  subject  to  similar  burthens,  and  suggesting  that  the  foreign  trade 
with  this  country  should  be  so  regulated  as  that  all  foreign  produce 
imported  into  the  kingdom  (except  raw  materials  required  for  manu- 
fiiustures)  should  contribute,  in  a  fair  and  just  proportion,  to  the  revenues 
of  the  State,  and  stating  that  the  import  duties  imposed  by  the  Act  of  1846 
ought  to  undergo  immediate  revision  with  a  view  to  the  adoption  of 
a  more  just  and  equitable  system.  The  resolutions  and  petitions  were 
proposed  and  supported  by  Mr  Edward  Ball  of  Burwell,  Mr  C.  Moseloy 
of  New  Bams  Ely,  Thomas  St  Quintin  jun.  Esq.,  Wm.  Lay  ton  Esq. 
of  Soham,  Mr  William  Bennett  of  Cambridge,  Edward  Hicks  Esq.

a  Draft  of  the  Statutes  has  been  printed,  which  represents  the  form  they 
vonld  bear  if  all  the  proposed  alterations  were  adopted. 

After  the  opinions  of  the  Senate  have  been  expressed  on  all  these  points, 
i  Syndics  are  ready  to  apply  themselves  to  the  correction  of  the  Draft  in 
Qoe  with  those  opiniona^  so  that  it  may  finally  be  submitted  in  its 
ended  form  to  the  jadgment  of  the  Senate. 

Many  objects  of  Aoademioal  legislation  are  of  so  fluctuating  a  character » 
;  however  expedient  it  may  be  that  they  should  be  regulated  by  j^eneral 
aitabtisbed  ordinances,  yet  it  Is  by  no  means  advinable  that  those 
should  have  the  permanent  nature  of  Statutes.    Care  therefore 
t  been  taken  that,  while  the  new  Code  is  drawn  up  ho  as  to  reoognixe  the 
lidi^  of  such  Ordinances  resting  on  Graces  of  the  Senate^  the  Senate 
have  a  free  power  of  altering  or  abrogating  them  whenever  it  may  be 
L  adviBabie  to  do  so. 
On  tlifi  other  hand,  the  Syndics  have  incorporated  with  the  proposed 
fltilillea  Oertain  Graces,  to  which   it  seemed  to  them  desirable  to  give  a 
permanent  character.     In  many  oases,  as  with  respect  to  forms  of 
ding,  this  was  quite  unavoidable;    in  others  the  Syndics  have  been 
ixided  by  a  senae  of  the  real  advantages  which  result  to  all  Corporations 
om  the  pannaneooe  of  laws  enacted  for  the  preservation  of  order  and 
atj^  an  object  more  than  ordinarily  essential  to  the  well-being  of  a 
oeh  aa  is  the  University,  comprehending  within  itself  many 
rtioet  and  independent  Commnnitiee.

The  8yT3dJ<SB  "beg  leave  to  suggestj  that  when  the  new  body  of  Statute*  is 
compieted  and  ratified,  a  collection  of  OTdiiianoes  which,  resting  on  Gracefl 
of  the  Senate,  have  not  been  embodied  in  the  new  Code  of  Statutes,  jet 
which  it  t»  desirable  should  remain  In  forc«  until  reversed  by  the  Senate, 
Bhonid  be  made  and  printed  in  order  that  the  whole  Law  by  whidi  the 
University  Is  to  be  regulated  may  be  exhibited  and  known. 

The  Syndics,  indnoed  by  a  coneideration  of  the  inequality  and  oppres> 
rivenesa  of  Compounders^  fees,  have  recommended  that  they  should  no 
longer  be  exacted.  The  adoptian  of  thia  recommendation  alone  would 
make  it  necessary  that  the  whole  subjeot  of  fees  should  be  reviewed,  which 
is  also  desirable  on  other  accounts. 

The  Sjmdica  beg  leave  to  recoimnend  that  Graces  should  he  offered  to  the

On  the  6th  of  February,  the  Council  ordered  the  common  seal  to  be 
affixed  to  the  subjoined  Memorial : — 

To  Her  Majeely's  Commissioners  for  entiairing  into  the  statet 
disoipliDe,  studies,  utid  revenues  of  the  University  of  Cambridge,  and  of 
all  and  Jiingular  the  Colleges  in  the  said  University. 

Wit,  the  Mayor,  Aldermen,  and  Burge&ees  of  the  Borough  of  Cambridge, 
in  Couudl  assembled,  most  respectfully  Holiolt  your  atteutian  to  the  subjoined 
statements  and  observations,  relating  to  certain  privileges  olauned  and 
eaeroised  by  the  University  bh  respects  the  government  and  trade  of  the 
Tovn,  and  to  the  total  or  partial  exemption  of  the  UniverBity  aod  the 
GoUegBs  therein  from  certain  local  burthens. 

Wa  humbly  submit  that  these  several  matters  properly  fall  under 
your  csognisance,  and  that  unless  they  be  taken  into  mature  consideration, 
the  $taU  of  the  University  and  Colleges  must  be  but  imperfectly  under- 
stood. Moreover,  we  are  most  anxious  to  obey,  to  the  utmost  of  our 
power.  Her  Most  Gracious  Majesty's  expressed  mnhj  that  the  fullat 
infonnaiioH  on  the  subject  to  which  Her  Majesty's  Oommission  relates 
should  be  afforded  you. 

Wb  trust  we  may  be  permitted  to  disavow  moat  emphatically  aggressive 
motives.  We  reoolleot,  with  deep  regret,  for  how  long  a  period  feelings  of 
hostility  prevailed  between  the  Members  of  the  University  and  the  Inhabitants 
of  the  Town.  Believing  &rmly  that  the  true  interests  of  the  two  bodies  are 
idsntioal,  we  make  no  doubt  that  the  abrogation  or  abandonment  of  anti- 
qoftlsd  olaims  and  privileges  must  tend  most  effectually  to  establislied  unity 
and  ffonoprdt

On  the  eleetion  of  the  Mayor  and  Baililfs,  the  Vice- Chancellor  and 
Proctors  attend  at  the  Guildhall,  where  the  Senior  Proctor  administers  to 
them  the  following  Oath  :— 

You  shall  swear  that  you  shall  observe  and  keep,  m  far  forth  as

every  of  you  shall  promise  to  do  faithfully.  So  help  yon  G^  in

You  shall  swear  [if  called  upon]  to  observe  fidelity  towards  oar 
Sovereign  Lady  the  Queen's  Majesty,  and  to  be  aasisttog  and  coun- 
selling to  her  Majesty 'a  Mayor  and  Bailiffs  of  Cambridge,  and  for  the 
searching  out  of  malefactors  and  perturbers  of  her  said  Bfajeaty's  peace, 
and  vagabonds  in  the  night,  and  i^oeivers  of  thieves  and  malefaotora. 
All  which  things  yon  shall  diligently  observe.  So  help  you  Qod  throngb

The  Oath  of  Two  of  evtty  ParUh 

You  shaU  swear  [if  called  upon]  every  fortnight  to  make  diligent  and 

faithful  Bearch  for  all  suspected  persons  lying  within  your  Parish,  and  to 

present  every  such  so  tarrying  for  three  nights  to  the  YiGe^Ohanoellor 

and  the  Mayor.     So  help  you  God  in  Jesus  Chiist. 

This  Ceremonial f  which  is  called  the  Great  Assembly,  is  grounded  oo 

a  Charter  of  tlie  20th  February,  52  Hen.  III.,  by  which  it  is  ordained, 

that  there  shall  be  two  Aldermen  and  four  of  the  more  discreet  bnrgeeaes 

associated  to  them,  all  of  whom  shall  swear  to  be  aHsisting  and  counselling 

the  Mayor  and  Bailiffs   for  conservation  of  the   peace  and  keeping  the 

assise,  and  to  search  for  evil-doers  and  troti biers  of  the  peace :  also  two 

in  every  Parish  who  shall  swear  to  make  diligent  search   every  fortnight 

in   their  respective  Parishes,   for   all  suspected    persons,    and    that    they 

shall  answer  for  any  one  who    had  received  any  such  for  three   nighta 

in  his  house, 

The  Great  Assembly  was  diacontinued  for  many  years  previously 
when  it  was  revived  by  Dr  Webb,<**  Vice- Chancellor. 

The  words   '*  if  called   upon  *'  have  been    usually   but   not 
introduced  into  the  several  oaths  of  late  years.

It  hcqnently  happens  Uiat  p&rties  sutnnioned  bj  the  Major  to  take 
the  oftths  at  the  Great  Assemblj  decline  to  attend. 

We  submit  that  no  adequate  reason  exists  for  aay  of  these  Oatlia^ 
and  that  the  exacting  them  tends  much  to  impair  the  aolemnity  with 
whieh  an  oath  ought  ever  to  be  regarded,  and  engenders  or  aanotions 
a  notion  that  the  town  authorities  are  dependent  on  the  University. 
A  writer  of  the  early  part  of  the  last  century  says— "the  Town  seems 
•*  to  he  aabordiiuite  to  the  University ;  for  their  Mayor,  every  year  when 
'*1ie  11  deoted,  takes  an  oath  to  observe  and  conserve  the  privileges  of 
**the  Univerdty/*  {Macky^a  Journey  through  England,  5th  edit.»  vol.  i. 
p.  108.) 

Sbarob  Ton  CoMMOM  Women. 

By  variotis  Charters  granted  to  the  University,  the  Officers  of  that  body 
are  empowered  to  search  in  this  Town  and  suburbs  by  day  and  night  for 
common  women,  and  perBons  tmpected  of  evil^  and  to  punish  them  by 
imprisonment,  banishment,  or  otherwise. 

We  have  lately  obtained  a  local  Act,  with  which  is  incorporated  "The 
Town  Police  Clauses  Act,  1847*"  nnder  which  the  Magistrates  of  the  Town 
have  power  to  pnnish  ^'  every  common  prostitute  or  night-walker  loitering 
**  and  importuning  passengers  for  the  purpose  of  prostitution ;  **  and  this, 
with  the  power  given  by  the  Vagrant  Act  (5  Geo.  IV,,  c.  83,  s,  3)  to  punish 
profitituteft  behaving  riotously  or  indecently  ia  amply  suflEicient  to  preserve 
dcoeney  in  the  streets. 

The  Police  are  vigilant  in  apprehending  offenders  against  these  Acts,  who 
ftre  duly  pmiished  by  the  Magistrates, 

The  Proctors  and  Pro-Proctors  of  the  University,  however,  still  continue 
to  exereise  the  powers  of  searoh  given  them  by  the  University  Charters, 
OodaionaUj  mistakes  have  been  committed,  and  the  genera!  exercise  of 
^  powers  in  question  tend«  to  place  all  the  unfortunate  women  of  the 
irlniTI  rtferred  lo  on  a  level  with  the  very  lowest;  to  create  strong  popular 
fellings  ftgalnst  the  University  authoritieB;  and  to  subject  the  University 
to  a  large  annual  expenditure  in  the  performance  of  duties  which,  as  it 
appears  to  us,  can  be  more  eMciently  and  properly  exeonted  by  a  Police 

fbfOB* 

Mtioh  of  Qoorse  must  depend  in  the  exercise  of  such  powers  on  the 
discretion  of  the  gentlemen  who  fill  the  Procuratorial  oMce,  and  we  have 
no  reaaon  to  believe  that  any  just  exception  can  be  taken  to  the  manner 
in  which  the  present  Prootors  execute  their  ofHce;  we  cannot  however 
fefrain  from  suggesting  a  doubt  whether  duties  of  this  kind  are  strictly 
compatible  with  the  clerical  character,  and  the  Proctors  are,  as  yon  must 
be  aware,  with  few  exceptions,  Clergymen, 

AlKHOUBX  and    WcfS   LlCXKSXfl, 

Previouflly  to  1836,  the  Viee-Chancellor  exercised  the  exclusive  tight 
~io  license  alehouses  in  Cambridge  and  the  adjaoent  village  of  Chesterton, 
and  he  still  claims  that  privilege,  which,  however,  we  believe  will  on 
esAminalion  be  found  to  have  no  legal  foundation.

III  18S8  an  application  was  mad<;  to  the  Court  of  Queen's  Bench  for 
an  information  in  the  nature  of  a  quo  warranto  to  try  this  right.  The 
rule  wan  however  di«ohargied,  on  the  ground  that  the  claim  haviop;  heen 
anquestioued  for  centnries,  the  Conrt  would  not  examine  minutely  the 
objections  thereto,  or  afiford  any  faoilitieA  for  trying  its  validitj. 

Since  1836  the  Town  MagistrateN  have  ahio  licensed  alehousefi  in  Cam- 
bridge, 

The  JnconTenienee  of  two  cononrrent  jurisdictions  in  a  matter  of  this 
kind  must  be  obvious. 

No  adequate  reason  oao,  as  we  believe,  be  given  why  the  Vioe- 
Chancdlor  should  have  the  power  to  license  alehouses;  and  we  may 
perhaps  be  penuittod  to  refer  you  to  the  following  remarks  on  the  aubject 
by  the  late  Very  Rev.  Dr  Lamb.  Dean  of  Bristol  and  Master  of  Corpus 
Chrieti  College.  In  a  work  published  by  that  gentleman  in  1838,  he 
observes: — **It  ib  a  matter  of  no  importance  to  the  Uni?etBity,  as  it 
*'  concerns  its  discipline,  whether  the  Vioe-ChanceUor  or  the  Town  Magia- 
"  trates  have  the  power  of  licensing  alehouses ;  bat  in  times  of  political 
**  excitement  this  power  may  be  flbus^  to  party  purposes^  and  against 
**  fluoh  an  abuse  there  seems  to  be  better  security  by  vesting  it  in  a  Bench 
**  of  Ma^qstrates  than  in  an  individual.  At  Oxford,  where  the  antbonty 
•*of  the  Vice-chancellor  is  kept  distinct  from  that  of  the  Town  Magis- 
"trateB,  nothing  of  this  kind  has  occurred.  The  latter  have  Hlways 
'*  licensed  the  alehouseH,  and  uo  complaint  has  been  made  that  the 
'*  discipline  of  the  Univeraity  has  in  anywise  snffered  by  sttch  an  nr- 
••  raugement-" 

By  Act  of  Parliament  (17  Oeo.  IL,  c.  40,  s,  11)  the  exclusive  power 
to  grant  Wine  License;*  in  the  town  of  Cambridge  is  granted  to  the 
Ch&noeOor,  Masters,  and  Scholars  of  the  University,  and  a  penalty  of  £5* 
is  imposed  for  every  sale  without  such  license. 

The  Wine  Licenses  now  (panted  are  by  the  Vice-Chanoellor  only, 
and  not,  as  it  is  submitted  they  should  be,  imder  the  Common  Seal  of 
the  University. 

In  some  cases  £10,  is  charged  for  the  lioenae,  in  others  only  £5. 

The  right  to  raise  a  revenue  from  the  grant  of  such  licenses,  though 
sanctioned  by  long  usage,  appears  questionable.  (See  Morgan  ▼.  Palmer, 
2  B.  A  C.  729,)

By  vBj-ious  Charters  the  University  has  the  sole  supervision  of  weights 
and  measures  within  the  Town  and  suburbs. 

By  the  Weights  and  Measurcfl  Act  (6  A  6  Will.  IV,,  c.  68,  s.  U)  it  is 
enacted,  that  the  Chancellor  or  Vice-ChiinL^ellor  of  the  University  and  his 
Deputy  f^haU  have  the  custody  of  the  assis^e,  assny,  and  overlooking  of

The  Vioe-Ohanoellor  does  not,  it  ia  believ^,  appoint  an  Ingpeotar  under 
tills  Act,  but  Ihe  Taxors  ^UBoally  ClergynieD)  perform  the  daty,  as  tbey  did 
before  the  Act  pMMd. 

Afl  might  be  expected,  the  Taxore  do  not  ordinftrily  displ&j^  much  ngi- 
l&DOe  or  aetivitj;  they  oocaaioniLlly  seise  defective  weights  and  measiirefl, 
bat  ve  are  not  aware  that  proeeedings  for  penalties  are  ever  taken  against 
the  parties  natng  them.  Most  certain  it  is  that  the  names  of  the  ofiTendera 
are  never  known  or  pnblisbed ;  and  it  has  been  fonnd  elaewhere  that  the 
pnbhcation  of  the  names  of  the  parties  so  offending  has  operated  henefioially 
in  protecting  the  public  interests. 

At  the  Conrt  Leet  of  the  University,  a  fine  of  ftf.  Bd,  was  for  many 
years  imposed  on  each  publican.  This  was  nnderstood  to  be,  and  in 
effect  wa»,  a  license  to  use  gUsses  containinR  less  than  the  legal  measure. 
We  have  nason  to  beUeve,  however,  that  this  objectionable  practice  is  now 
discontinued. 

We  cannot  but  think  that  the  inspection  of  weights  and  measures  would 
be  far  better  exercised  by  the  ordinary  Police,  subject,  as  in  other  places,  to 
the  control  of  the  Magistracy  generally. 

Marxrtb  AKn  Faibs. 

Queen  Eliaabeth,  by  her  Charter  to  the  University  dated  the  26th 
of  April,  in  the  3rd  year  of  her  reign,  granted  to  that  body  the  Clerkship 
of  the  Market  in  the  Town  of  Cambridge,  and  in  the  Fairs  of  Barnwell 
and  Starbridge. 

The  University  Officers  make  a  proclamation  annually  in  the  Market, 
and  at  each  of  the  Fairs  called  Midsummer  and  Bturbridge. 

The  TaxoTB  also  superiotend  weights  and  meaatires  in  the  Markets  and 
Fairs,  as  in  the  Town,  and  have  also  the  exclusive  privilege  of  weighing  hops 
and  leather  in  Stnr  bridge  Fair. 

We,  in  l&bOt  obtained  an  Act  of  Parliament  for  regulating  the  Marketa 
mnd  Fairs,  and  under  that  Act  we  appoint  an  Inspector  of  Provisions,  who 
has  ample  powem  for  the  protection  of  the  public. 

It  would  be  difficult,  we  believe,  to  state  what  substantial  loss  the 
UniTeKilty  ooold  sustain  by  an  express  abrogation  of  the  powers  they 
poeaeao  in  the  Blarkete  and  Fairs,  which  powers  are  indeed  for  the  most 
part  practically  obsolete, 

Tbxatbical  and  othzr  Entebtainuekts. 

By  the  Theatres  Bcgnlation  Act  (C  ^  7  Vict.,  o,  68,  s.  10)  it  is  enacted, 
tliat  no  Theatre  License  shall  be  in  force  within  the  University  of  Cam- 
bridge, or  within  fourteen  miles  of  the  Town  of  Cambridge,  without  the 
ootusent  of  the  Chancellor  or  Vioe-ChanoeUor  of  the  University,  and  that 
the  Eules  for  the  management  of  any  theatre  which  shall  be  licensed 
with  such  consent  witliin  these  limits,  shall  be  subject  to  the  approval 
of  the  said  Chauoellor  or  Tioe-ChanoeUor;  and  that  in  case  of  the  breach 
of  any  of  the  said  Rules,  or  any  oonditioii  on  which  the  conseut  of  the 
Cbaooeikfr  or  Vice-chancellor  shall  have  been  given,  it  shall  be  lawful  for 


8ueh  Chfttioellor  or  Vioe-Clianoellor  to  annul  the  Uoense,  and  tbereapon  such 
HcenM  elifdl  become  void, 

Thia  clause  extends  not  only  to  tlie  Town  of  Cambridge,  bot  also  to  tlM 
Towns  of  Newmarket,  Hoys  ton,  and  St  Ives,  which  are  respectively  siinated  ' 
within  the  prescribed  distance  of  the  Town  of  Cambridge, 

Bespeotably  oondaoted  theatrical  performances  take  plaoe  in  Cambridge 
in  the  long  vacation,  bnt  the  Manager  takee  out  no  Ucenjie  whatever,  and 
rone  the  risk  of  anj  proceedings  against  him  under  the  above  Act 

We  undtsrHtaud  the  Manager  of  the  Theatre  paya  lOm,  Hd,  annually  to  the 
University  or  its  officers. 

It  is  alleged  that  the  Vioe-Chanoellor  olaimB  the  power  to  prohibit  all 
other  entertainments  within  the  Town,  to  which  he  has  not  given  his 
ezprefls  sanction.  Instances  have  occurred  in  which  such  sanction  has  been 
apparently  withheld  capriciously.  A  few  years  since,  John  Braham.  the 
celebrated  vocalist,  waa  desirous  of  giving  a  oonoert  here,  but  the  Vice- 
Chancellor  ^vithheld  his  assent,  and  the  design  was  abandoned. 

We  believe  no  valid  reason  exists  why  theatrical  and  other  entertain^ 
ments  of  the  like  nature  should  be  subject  to  other  oostrol  here  thaa 
elsewhere, 

DlftCOMMUNIKO, 

Mr  Gunning  thus  defines  "Discommuning*'  in  his  work  on  the  Cere- 
monies of  the  Univeraity  {p.  433) :— *'  That  the  rights  and  privileges  of  the 
University  miyr  be  maintained  and  preserved,  it  has  the  power  to  prohibit, 
antter  the  severest  penalties,  all  its  memlxirs  from  dealing  with  any  trades- 
man resident  in  the  town,  who  shall  have  violated  those  rights  and  privileges. 
and  shall  refuse  to  make  atonement  for  such  violation/' 

It  will  be  seen  that  thia  definition  is  quite  wide  enough  to  include  every 
case  in  which  the  University  authorities  may  be  displeased  with  the  conduct 
of  any  tradeBmau,  and  there  are  not  wanting  instances  of  the  power  to 
discommune  having  been  enforced  in  former  times  on  the  most  frivolons  and 
ladicrous  pretences. 

Of  late  years  the  power  of  discommuniog  has  been  used  to  punish 
tradesmen  who  have  infringed  some  order  made  by  the  University  autho- 
rities*  or  whose  conduct  has  appeared  to  Kuch  authorities  to  have 
wrong  in  some  transaction  with  a  student. 

When  a  person  is  discommnnedi  a  printed  notioe  to  that  effect  la  pub- 
lished in  the  several  Colleges  and  elsewhere. 

This  extensive  power  is  liable  to  great  objections,  from  its  vague  cha- 
racter, and  from  its  being  exercised  by  a  secret  and  irresponsible  tribunal. 

To  the  tradesmen  of  the  more  reputable  doss  connected  mth  the  Uni* 
versity.  discommoning  is  a   most   serious  puniahment,  tending  veiy  ma* 
terially  to  injure  their  character  and  credit,  and  there  are  consequently 
very  few  cases  which  have   occurred   or  can  he  suggested   in   whieh, 
regards  laoh  persons,  it  will  not  be   found  that  the  penalty  ia  greatlj^ 
disproportion ed  to  the  alleged  offence;  whilst,  on  the  other  hand,  trades-l 
men  of  inferior  repute  and  credit  would  consider  diacoromuning  as 
L    punishment  whatever.

L  Thade  Begulationb. 

I  The  power  of  disoommmiing  enables  the  Vice-chancellor  and  Heads  of 
Colkgea  to  enforce  deoreea  affecdng  in  Tarioud  ways  the  trade  of  the 
Town. 

To  aome  of  these  decree  we  mTite  your  particular  attention . 

Da   the  18tb  of  May.  1SI4,  Dr  Hodgson,  Vice-Chaneellort  and  twelve 

other  Heads  of  Colleges,  made  a  decree,  that  if  any  inhahitant  of  the  town^ 

engaged  in  any  trade  or  profession,  shall  inBtitnte  legal  proceedings  for  the 

reoorery  of  a  debt  due  to  hira  from  any  person  in  utatu  pupilliirit  without 

r  first  giving  reasonable  notice  of  his  claims  to  the  tutor  of  such  person^  he 

thai]  be  punished  by  discommunmg  or  otherwise,  as  to  the  Vice- Chancellor 

f  and  Heads  of  Colleges  shall  seem  fit. 

Several  tradesmen  have  been  discommuned  under  tbia  decree,  and  on  the 
^h  of  Februazy,  1848,  a  tradesman  was  so  disco mmunedj  for  having  sued 
1  one  of  the  Queen's  Superior  Courts  a  Bachelor  of  Arts  who  had  ceased  to 
[  nside  in  Cambridge  and  was  living  in  Yorkshire , 

The  preamble  to  the  foregoing  decree  states,  that  it  is  expedient,  as  wel] 
for  protecting  persona  in  ttatu  pupUhri  againat  impositions  or  vexatious 
■  prooeedings  at  law,  as  for  securing  the  regular  and  prompt  payment  of  a!l 
^■^Jnst  and  lawfol  debts  contracted  by  them^  that  the  expenses  incurred  hy 
^Hmch  pcrsouR  should  be  brought^  a?  far  as  is  practicable,  under  the  inspec- 
^Ption  and  control  of  the  tutors  of  their  respective  Colleges. 

It  appears  to  uh  that  it  cannot  be  right  to  punish  a  person  for  merely 
availing  himself  of  the  remedies  for  the  recovery  of  his  debt  which  are  given 
to  ^i>w  by  the  laws  of  the  laud;  and  we  are  quite  certain  that  if  the  decree 
in  question  were  really  intended  to  secure  the  regular  and  prompt  payment 
of  all  jast  and  lawful  debts  contracted  by  Students,  that  object  has  not  been 

iin  any  degree  obtained.  This  decree  rather  tends  to  encourage  amongst  the 
IBtudents  an  idea  that  having  contraGt#d  debta  they  cannot  be  compelled  to 
)pay  them,  and  many  instances  might  be  cited  in  which  Students,  when 
applied  to  for  debts,  have  set  their  creditors  at  deSance,  and  cited  this 
lloeree  in  justification  of  their  conduct, 
'  On  the  Uth  of  February,  1^47,  Dr  Philpott,  Vice -Chancellor,  and  fifteen 
other  Heads  of  Colleges,  made  decrees  to  the  following  effect  :— 

1-  That  if  any  Vintner  or  Victualler  shall  be  proved  before  the  Vice- 
Chancellor  to  have  permitted  any  person  in  «tatH  pupiUari  to  contract 
a  debt  for  wine  or  spirituous  liquors  exceeding  the  sum  of  £10. ,  without 
the  knowledge  and  consent  of  the  Tutor  of  such  person,  he  shall  be 
deprived  of  his  licence. 

2.  That  every  Vintner  or  Victualler  with  whom  any  person  in  Haiu 
\up%llnr\  shall  contract  any  debt  for  wine  or  spirituous  liquors,  shall  be 

quired  to  send  notice  of  the  amount  of  the  same  at  the  end  of  each 
Buarter  to  the  College  Tutor  of  the  person  so  indebted,  on  pain  of 
'oeprivation  of  his  Ucenoe. 

3.  That  every  Tradesman  or  Dealer  with  whom  any  peraon  in  9Uitu 
jntpillari  sliall  contract  a  debt  ezoeeding  the  sum  of  £5„  shall  be

jreqnired  to  send  notice  of  the  amount  of  tlie  sftme  at  the

of  being  punlBhed  by  discommuning,  or  otherwise,  as  to  the  HeaiJUi 
Colleges  eh&ll  seem  fit. 

4*    That  if  asj  Vintner,  Victualler*  Tradesman^  Dealer,   or  otl 

person  shall  take  from  a  persoti  imtatu  pupiUarif  without  the  oonsant 

his  College  Tutor,  a  promissory  note,  he  shall  for  so  doing  be  paniBl] 

by  deprivation  of  his  lioenc«,  by  discammitniag,  or  otherwiae,  m  ^^ 

Vice-Chanceilof  and  Heads  of  Colleges  sfaall  seem  tiL 

Whilst  we  are  not  unwilling  to  believe  that  these  ddor«eA  wevttl 

under  an  imprefiaion  that  the3?  would  repress  exti-avaganoe  on  the  part 

Students,  we  cannot  refrain  from  obserriiig  that  they  have  had  no  tu 

effect;  they  have,  however,  seriously  injured  the  trade  of  the  Town,  «i 

Student  who  requires  credit  can  easily  evade  these  decrees  by  dealing  w: 

some  person  who,  not  residing  in  the  Town,  cannot  therefore  '*be  poniili 

by  deprivation  of  hiu  licence,  by  discommuning,  or  otherwise";   and  t 

manifeflt  tendency  of  these  decrees  is  to  induce  the  Students  to  trade  w: 

such  persona  rather  than  with  the  inbabitenis  of  the  Town:  and  this  is 

well  understood,  that  from  the  time  these  decrees  were  first  promulgati 

the  Town  hafi  been  literally  overrun  with  non-resident  traders,  solieit] 

orders  from  Undergraduates. 

Without  wishing  to  dwell  on  the  many  other  objections  to  which  thi 
decrees  are  open,  we  may  observe  that  they  are  certainly  not  framed  on 
principle  of  impartial  just  ice  ^  fi^  no  punishment  whatever  is  provided  for  1 
violation  of  them  by  persons  in  ttatu  pttpillari.  If  to  give  undue  credit 
an  offence,  to  take  such  credit  should  also  be  considered  an  offenoe. 

UNivEBflrrv  Courts.  ^M 

By  various  Charters,  the  authorities  of  the  University  are  entitled 
exclusive  conusance  of  various  matters,  both  criminal  and  civil,  iu  whi 
a  icholar  or  person  privileged  of  the  University  is  a  party. 

Excepting  in  cases  of  discipline  and  discommuuing,  the  Univefi 
Conris  may  be  oontidered  as  obsolete,  though  instances  have  not  In 
wanting  in  modem  times,  in  which  claims  to  exclusive  juriediotion  on  1 
part  of  the  University  have  been  interposed  in  order  to  prevent  the  ordini 
course  of  juatioe. 

In  nearly  all  the  cases  over  which  the  Magistrates  have  sanmii 
jurisdiction,  the  claim  of  the  University  to  exclusive  conusance  does  i 
apply.  Within  the  last  few  years,  however,  more  than  one  ineffectual  eff< 
has  been  made  to  induce  the  Magistrates  to  forbear  from  adjadicating 
guoh  cases,  on  the  ground  that  the  defendant  was  a  member 
UniverBity. 

We  submit  to  your  consideration  whether  the  time  has  not 
when  the  right  to  exclusive  judicial  power  on  the  part  of  the  UniTefi 
may  be  beneficially  abolished.  We  believe  it  will  be  found  that  1 
assertion  of  this  privilege  has  occasioned  heavy  ohsrti^es  on  the  funds

The  Vioe*Chanoellor  has  frequently  appointed  Constables  under  this  Act,

The  Town  raifles  liy  Parochial  Rates,  viz.  Poor  Bates  (inolading  therein 
Borough  Bates),  Church  Rates,  and  Highway  BateSi  above  £18,000.  per 
annnm. 

With  some  few  exceptiona  the  buildinga  and  property  occupied  by  the 
University  and  CoUegea  are  not  aBFeaaed  to  Parochial  Rates,  althongh  a 
compoaition  for  Poor  Bates  of  £240.  per  annunj  h  coltected  by  the  Vice- 
Chancellor,  and  paid  to  the  OIHoera  of  thirteen  of  the  pariahes. 

In  1850,  a  Committee  of  our  body  made  a  Report  on  the  subject  of  the 
non-asseaoment  of  this  property  to  Parochial  Bates,  to  which  was  annexed 
an  Appendix,  containing  a  vast  body  of  documentary  and  other  evidence* 
To  that  Report  we  beg  leave  especially  to  invite  your  attention. 

Pursuant  to  the  recommendation  of  that  Committee,  a  Copy  of  their 
Report  was,  by  onr  direction,  forwarded  to  the  Vice- Chancellor  and  the 
Heads  of  the  several  Colleges,  together  with  a  respectful  intimation  that 
we  were  of  opinion  that  the  property  occupied  by  the  University  and 
Colleges  not  then  assefised  to  the  Parochial  Rates  was  legally  liable  to 
be  so  assessed,  and  that  we  were  therefore  resolved  to  take  immediate 
steps  to  get  such  property  aaseased  accordingly,  but  were  at  the  aame 
time  desirous  of  proceeding  to  do  so  with  all  possible  courtesy  consistent 
with  the  due  discharge  of  what  we  considered  an  important  and  imperative 
duty,  and  therefore  desired  to  be  informed  by  the  University  and  Colleges 
respectively,  at  their  earliest  convenience,  if  they  intended  to  dispute  their 
liability  to  be  assessed  to  the  Parochial  Bates;  and  that  should  they  do 
so,  we  shonld  be  prepared  to  favourably  consider  any  suggestions  which 
they  might  respeetively  have  to  offer  for  procuring  an  adjudication  upon 
the  question,  as  speedily,  as  fairly,  and  with  as  little  expense  as  might  be 
practieable. 

As  yet  in  no  one  instance  has  a  satisfactory  reply  to  that  communieatioii 
b€'en  reoeivedf  though  we  are  not  unwilliog  to  hope  that  we  may  not  ulti- 
mately be  driven  to  have  recourse  to  legal  proceedings,  to  establish  what  we 
conceive  to  be  otur  just  legal  rights. 

The  University  and  Colleges  contribute  under  the  Cambridge  Improve- 
ment Acts  two-Hfths  of  the  expenses  of  paving,  clean  sing,  and  lighting  iAm 
Town.  It  has  been  said  that,  considering  the  present  relative  value  of  the 
property  occupied  by  the  University  and  College?,  and  of  the  other  property 
in  the  Town,  the  University  and  Colleges  contribute  more  than  they  ought 
to  do  to  these  expensee.  We  are  quite  willing  (and  have  signified  as  much) 
that  if  the  nnfaimesa  of  such  quota  can  be  established,  the  provisicnis 
establishing  the  same  should  be  repealed,  provided  the  University  and 
Colleges  are  assessed  to  the  Parochial  Bates,  and  also  to  the  expenses 
ander  the  Improvement  Acts,  and  enter  into  an  arrangement  for  the  mora 
equitable  apportionment  of  the  respective  contributions  of  the  University 
and  Town  to  the  Land  Tax. 

It  is  but  just  to  state  that  the  leading  members  of  the  University  appear 
to  be  impressed  with  a  conviotion  of  the  justice  of  a  oonttibution  by  that 
body  to  the  heavy  Police  expenses  of  the  Town  ;  we  regret  to  add,  that  two

from  the  Council  of  the  Borough  of  Cambridge  to  the  several  privileges » 
whieh  the  University  enjoys,  and  some  of  which  it  has  enjoyed  imme- 
morially,  it  seems  expedient  to  make  a  few  preliminary  remarks  applicable 
to  all  the  objections,  and  concerning  the  principle  upon  whieh  the  existence 
of  any  such  privilege  is  to  be  justified. 

If  oorporatiofis,  ench  as  are  the  two  ancient  Universittee  of  England, 
oomprebending  very  large  numbers  of  young  men  of  a  class  whose  good 
edooation  in  morals,  no  less  than  in  learning,  is  of  the  utmost  importance 
to  the  oommunity,  be  allowed  to  exist  at  all,  the  general  interests  of  the 
eotmtry  would  seem  to  demand  that  some  means  should  be  taken^  by  the 
tegislature,  if  neoeesavy,  to  protect  them  from  the  contaminations  and  evils 
incident  to  towns  in  general.  Under  the  operation  of  this  principle  the 
towns,  in  which  such  corporations  are  situate,  would  become,  in  some  par- 
tiduUrs  of  local  government  and  privilege,  exceptional  cases. 

Even  were  an  University  established  at  a  distance  from  any  dwellings 
whatever,  yet  a  town  woold  soon  spring  up  around  it.    Multitudes  naturally

flcKik  to  a  pliMM  where  they  can  share  in  the  advftnUges  to  be  deiived  from 
BO  large  a  eommtiQity,  Gonsisimg  entirely  of  a  class  whioh  expends  money 
both  in  the  Kupport  of  trade  and  in  the  employment  of  labour.  And  when 
Buoh  great  and  peculiar  advantages  are  enjoyed  by  the  InhabitAntfi  of 
OAmhridge,  it  would  not  appear  nnreaaonablo  to  expect  that  the  mtmicipal 
attthoritieB  should  aoquie&oe  in  the  curtailment  of  some  of  the  local  pri* 
vilegea  which  the  inhabitants  of  other  towns  ordinarily  poeaefls,  and  tn 
the  poBsesaion  by  the  Universitj^  of  peculiar  powers:  both  whieh  things 
seem  essential  and  aeoesnary  to  the  very  existence  of  an  University  m  tha 
place. 

These  remarks,  it  is  desired,  may  be  borne  in  mind,  as  they  more  or  less 
oonoem  all  the  questions  raised  in  the  Memorial. 

Oaths, 

In  the  University,  and  also  in  individual  colleges,  among  many  ordi- 
nances, there  are  some,  for  the  infringement  of  which  appropriate  penalties 
have  been  presoribed ;  and  others,  for  the  infringement  of  which,  if  indeed 
adequate  penalties  oould  have  been  provided,  they  would  probably  have 
been  either  too  late  for  justice,  or  too  burdeusome  in  point  of  expense  to 
the  party  exercising  the  authority  to  exact  them.  These  conBiderationSt 
coupled  with  the  reflection  that  prevention  is  better  than  cure,  led  the 
founders  to  impose  upon  the  members  of  their  several  institutionh  a  general 
oath  to  observe  the  ordinances  appointed.  And  it  may  be  assumed  that  the 
like  considerations  ted  to  the  requirement  of  the  oaths  objected  to  in  the 
Memorial. 

The  oath  of  the  Mayor  aud  Baili£f8  id  of  a  cotnprehe naive  character,  and 
imposes  on  the  chief  officers  of  tlie  town  the  highest  obligation  to  preserve 
the  privileges  of  the  Uuiversity.  When  it  is  considered  that  these  pri* 
vileges  maiorially  ountrlbute  to  the  mamteuance  of  order  and  dleeipline 
among  the  members  of  the  University,  and  to  the  protection  of  pubUo 
morality  and  deoorum,  it  does  not  seem  unreasonable  that  they  should 
be  supported  and  sanctioned  by  the  oath,  whioh  is  administered  to  those 
ofhoers  upon  their  election.  It  is  therefore  rather  a  matter  of  surprita 
that  the  municipal  authorities  should  assert  that  the  eiLocting  of  this  oath 
'Honds  much  to  impair  the  solemnity  with  which  an  oath  ought  ever  to  be 
regarded." 

The  University  cannot  be  held  responsible  for  the  error  of  opinion 
adverted  to  in  the  Memorial  as  having  been  entertained  by  a  writer  about 
a  oentury  since,  that  any  party,  which  may  be  under  obligation  to  take 
an  oath  to  observe  the  privileges  of  another  party  may  be  accounted  sub- 
ordinate  to  it:  which  is  bo  far  from  being  a  just  inference,  that  in  fact 
no  good  reason  can  be  assigned,  why  even  a  superior  party  should  not  be 
under  obligation  to  take  such  an  oath  to  preserve  the  privileges  of  a 
subordinate  one.

fiompreihends  more  than  the  mere  '*  price/'  has  been  abolished. 


Search  for  Commoj?  Women. 

The  Unlveraitj  is  Teiy  far  from  complaining  that  the  Magis^atea  of 

the  town  have  under  a  recent  local  Act  the  power  of  punishing  ''every 

lootniQon  profltitnte  or  night-walker  loitering  and  importuning  paaaeogera 

[for  the  ptirpoBe  of  prosiitniion."    On  the  contrary,  it  gladly  accepts  any 

^  iid  in  Its  endeavours  to  maintain  order  and  decency :   but  besides  that 

there  are  obvious  reaeomi  why  the  Police  should  not  be  the  guardiane  of 

ibe  Btudente  in  such  a  matter,  the  University  by  no  means  admits  that 

tba  power  granted  by  the  said  Act,  together  with  that  given  by  the  Vagrant 

Act  (5  Geo.  IV.   c,  8B,  s.  3),  is  "  saffioient  to  preserve  decency  in   the 

■treeia."    The  combined  powers  of  the  two  Acts  authorise  the  apprehension 

■nd   punishment  of  a   prostitute  only  when  importuning  or   disorderly, 

Now,  while  on  the  one  hand  the  proof  of  importuning  can   scarcely  be 

fumiahed  except  by  the  person  actually  importuned,   a  proof  not  very 

mnoh  to  be  expected;   on  the  other  hand,   the  power  possessed  by  the 

University  of  apprehending  piTSons  mt^pected  of  evil  not  merely  represses, 

but  prevents  such  importunity ;  and  it  seems  most  desirable  that  young 

men,  who  may  be  passing  along  the  streets^  should  not  even  be  subject 

to  it.     With  respect  to  the  alleged  possibility  of  occasional  mistakes,  Ibe 

onl  resulting  to  modest  women  walking  out  after  dusk  would  eeem^  from 

the  veiy  rare  oocurrenoe  of  soch   Interruption,  to  be  much   more  than 

I  ooonterbalanced  by  the  protection  afforded    to  them  by  the  very  same 

I  authority  front  interrnption  by  young  men.     There  is  good  reason  to  appre- 

that,  if  the  power  exercised  by  the  University  were  wanting,  many 

mistakes,  and  those  of  a  less  excusable  kind,  woold  be  committed, 

LShftt  the  results  would  be  no  less  injurious  to  the  Town  than  to  the 

In  this  particukr  the  expresi^ed  belief  *'  that  the  true  interests 

'of  the  two  bodies  are  identical"  is  readily  admitted.     And  were  it  not  that 

I  the  Memorial  sought  to  deprive  the  University  of  the  privilege  here  treated 

I  of,  it  might  have  been  thought  undeniable  that,  under  the  peculiar  circam- 

■  Bianoe  of  so  many  young  men  being  congregated  into  one  towui  it  was  of 

all  thingii  most  important  to  the  morals  and  happiness  of  the  inhabitants 

th»t  means  so  efficient  and  preventive,  as  those  exercised  by  the  University, 

■hould  be  employed  for  the  preservation  of  public  decency. 

It  is  also  objected  that  "  the  general  exercise  of  the  powers  in  qncstiou 
lends  to  place  all  the  unfortunate  women  of  the  class  referred  to  on  a  level 
with  the  very  lowest."  The  University  is  not  chargeable  with  this  im- 
patation.  It  pays  attention  to  difference  of  condition  and  demeanour,  ftnd 
nrrangements  aocordingly;  and  it  m  also  the  obvious  do^  of  the

chftplttin  wlio  is  id  ftttendanoe  upon  the  persona  imprisoned,  and  wlio  is 
provided  and  paid  by  the  Uuiversityt  to  attend  to  such  differenoee  in  his 
treatment  of  them,  and  in  his  endeavoara  to  reform  them.  Moreover  it  is 
well  known  that  the  fear  of  imprisonment  opemtea  in  a  very  great  degree  to 
deter  those  of  better  condition  from  walMng  the  streets. 

The  statement  of  the  Memorial,  that  this  department  of  the  disdpUoe 
of  the  University  is  chiefly  in  tlie  handa  of  clergymen  is  correct,  and  thd 
like  statement  woald  apply  with  equal  truth  to  the  other  departmente  of 
its  discipline.  But  it  does  not  appear  that,  if  the  discipline  were  in  other 
hands,  it  would  be  more  effectively  or  conscientiously  carried  out,  or  tbftt 
the  conMenoe,  at  present  placed  in  the  University  by  the  parents  of  the 
young  men  consigned  to  its  care,  would  be  inoreftsed.  On  the  contraiy, 
it  may  very  reasonably  be  preeomed  that  thtir  parents  would  new  it  as 
a  great  evil,  were  the  clerical  members  of  the  University  to  shrink  from 
the  performance  of  their  accustomed  academical  duties,  this  one  especially: 
and  it  may  at  least  be  conceded  in  this  particular  case,  where  the  oBloer  has 
not  only  to  direct  the  apprehension  of  the  street-walker,  hut  also,  it  may 
be,  to  correct  a  Student^  that  the  admonition  and  exercise  of  authority 
would  not  come  with  less  propriety  from  one  who  is  a  clergyman  than  from 
one  who  is  not.  Neither  can  it  be  doubted  that  they  who  take  upon 
themselveB  this  oOlce^  look  upon  it  us  one  of  unbounded  importance  to  the 
morals  and  well-being  of  the  young  men  intrusted  to  the  guardianship  of  the 
University,  and  exercise  it  under  a  deep  sense  of  their  I'eaponsibility  both  to 
the  UniverBity,  whose  officers  they  are,  and  to  society  in  general. 

It  ought  further  to  be  stated,  that  in  the  year  1826  an  Act  of  Parltameot 
waa  passed  (§  Geo,  IV.  c.  97),  directing  that  '*  every  common  prostituW 
and  night' walker  found  wandering  in  any  public  walk,  street,  or  highway, 
within  the  precincts  of  the  University  of  Oxfordf  and  not  giving  a  satis- 
factory account  of  herself,  should  be  deemed  an  idle  and  disorderly  person* 
within  the  true  intent  and  meaning  of  ati  Act  (viz.  B  Iteo,  IV.  c.  83), 
passed  in  the  last "  preceding  **  session  of  Parliament,  intituled  An  Act  for 
the  punishment  of  idle  and  disorderly  persons,  and  rogues,  and  vagabonds, 
in  that  part  of  Great  Britain  e&Ued  England,  and  should  and  might  be 
apprehended  and  dealt  with  accordingly."  Two  important  oondasions  may 
be  drawn  from  this  fact:  fi:rst,  that  the  University  of  Oxford,  notmth standing 
its  excellent  Police,  which  during  the  night-time  is  under  the  sole  control 
and  management  of  the  Univeiaity  itself,  felt  the  want  of  a  preventive 
power  similar  to  that  vested  in  the  University  of  Cambridge  ;  and  secondly, 
that  the  Legislature  is  neither  insensible  to  the  expediency  and  propriety  of 
granting  special  p<jwers  in  special  cases,  nor  to  the  strong  claims  which  the 
youth  of  the  Universities  have  to  its  protection. 


AliEBOUSB   AND   WlN£  LZCSKCSS. 

If,  as  is  alleged,  two  concurrent  jurisdictions  in  the  licencing  of  ale- 
houses be  inconvenient,  the  fault  would  seem  to  be,  not  with  the  Universily 
for  oon tinning  to  eiercise  its  prescriptive  right  to  licence,  but  with  thoae

or  less  effieacioQs  for  restraining  such  expenditure  than  that  over  inn- 
keipara.  The  etatement  in  the  Memorial  that,  **by  an  Act  of  Parliament 
(17  Geo.  IL,  e.  40,  b«  11),  the  exolasive  power  to  grant  Wine  Licences 
in  the  Town  of  Cambridge  is  granted  to  the  ChanoeUar,  Masters,  and 
SebolAiB  of  the  University/'  might  lead  to  the  enx>neouB  ntippoHition  that 
Ihifl  Act  was  the  original  grant  of  the  privilege  which  it  re^ognizeSf  whereas 
the  privilege  is  in  fact  as  ancient  as  that  respecting  alehouse  licences. 

On  20th  May,  1812,  the  Dnlveraity,  by  a  formal  Act,  authorized  the 
Vioe-Chancellor  to  grant  in  future  the  wiue  licences  ou  its  behalf^  and 
to  require  £10,  or  £5.  for  the  same  at  hia  discretion.  Before  that  date 
the  number  of  vintners  at  any  one  time  had  been  limited  to  four,  each  of 
whom  pttid  £40,  a-year  for  his  lioenoe.  When  the  person  applying  only 
OttrriM  on  a  trade  in  wine  to  a  small  extent,  the  Vtce-Chanceilor  requires  the 
VmB  som.  If  he  were  used  to  exaet  as  much  from  the  smaller  dealera  as 
firam  the  larger,  the  complaint  woold  be  more  Intelligible.

Afl  to  the  efficacy  of  the  control  exerciaed  by  the  University  in  these 
matters,  and  vested  in  it  with  a  view  doubtless  to  the  special  protection 
of  its  members,  it  is  most  readily  admitted  that  the  control  would  be 
j  mueb  more  eiffectaal  for  the  general  benefit,  were  it  not  for  the  successful 
efforta  made  by  tradesmen  to  evade  the  scrttdny  of  the  University  oMcers. 
It  iB  staled  in  the  Memorial  thai  *'  most  certain  it  is  that  the  names  of 
Uie  offenders  are  never  known  or  published."  This  is  aaarcely  consistent 
with  the  fact  that  great  numbers  oi  false  weights  and  measures  are  frequently 
seized  in  the  open  market-place. 


TffEATRICAL  AND  OTHEB  EnTEBTAINITENTS, 

The  Viee'Chanoellor  exercises  a  discretion  as  to  allowing  public  enter* 
teiiimeiita,  eepeoially  in  full  term.  It  would  have  seemed  that  the  reaaon 
for  Iba  oooaaional  withholding  of  his  permission  is  aa  obvious  as  it  is  valid, 
namely,  the  hazard  of  tumult  and  diHturbance,  when  a  large  assembly  of 
joimg  mem  is  collected  together  at  night.  The  inhabitants  of  the  town 
oaonot  but  be  sensible  of  the  evil,  and  the  Council  of  the  Borough  might 
not  cmreasonably  have  been  expected  to  concur  in  the  expediency  of 
preventing  it.  Nor  can  any  one  fail  to  perceive  how  certain  and  Lnjurious 
tbfl  intemiption  to  the  proper  pursuits  of  the  Students  would  be,  were

Tilt;  University  is  most  emzioua  both  to  maintain  good  discipline  and 
to  "restrain  habiu  of  extravagance  and  facilities  of  credit^''  oouoerning 
which  Her  Majesty's  Commissioners  in  Ihelr  Queries  to  mdiTidual  CoUegea 
have  made  special  inquiry.  Yet»  it  need  Boaroely  be  stated,  Ihere  are  and 
ever  will  be  persona  ready  io  take  every  unfair  advantage  of  the  inex- 
perience of  young  men.  To  control  suoh  persons,  the  Vioe-Chancellor 
and  Heads  of  Colleges  are  need  occasionally  to  isane  edicts,  enjoining 
generally  upon  tradcemen  and  others  the  observance  of  oertaio  mles,  and 
warning  them  that,  unless  they  observe  those  rules,  they  wiU  be  liable 
to  be  diacommuned.  In  doing  so  the  Vioe-Chancellor  and  Heads  of 
Colleges  have  no  design  whatever  Io  interrupt  in  the  slightest  degree 
the  business  of  the  respectable  part  of  Ihe  tradesmen  in  the  town,  carried 
on  Ln  a  fair  and  open  way.  All  tradesmen,  that  desire  to  encourage  the 
system  of  credit,  are  of  course  much  opposed  to  these  edicts,  and  it  is 
not  unusual  for  a  tradesman,  after  tirst  evading  them,  to  serve  a  writ 
npon  the  Student,  who  may  have  been  led  to  contract  a  debt  with  him, 
When  it  has  come  to  the  knowledge  of  any  Tutor  of  a  College  that  a 
tradcHuian  has  acted  in  contravention  of  any  one  of  theae  edicts,  he  makoe 
complaint  to  the  Vice-chancellor,  who  calls  the  Heads  of  Colleges  together 
and  institutes  an  inquiry.  The  offender  in  allowed  to  be  present,  and  to 
give  any  explanation  he  may  think  fit.  He  very  commonly  admits  the 
olTence;  but,  if  iiot,  it  is  in  moat  casoi  easily  proved  by  the  production 
of  the  hill  sent  in  or  the  writ  served*  and  the  declaration  of  the  Tutor 
that  the  retiuired  notice  had  not  been  sent  to  him,  or  other  similar 
testimony  of  the  simplest  kind. 

No  speci^G  penalty  is  imposed  upon  the  offender,  but  he  is  treated  as 
a  person  with  whom  it  ia  not  expedient  that  the  Students  should  have 
intercourse,  and  accordingly  a  notice  is  sent  to  all  the  Colleges^  peremp- 
torily forbidding  all  persons  in  Haiu  pupiUari  to  deal  with  him«  In  fact 
the  proceeding  is  of  such  a  sort,  that  the  master  of  a  school  might,  and 
perhaps  often  doe<},  carry  it  out;  and  although  the  proceedings  are  con- 
ducted with  form  and  care,  being  taken  down  by  the  EegiBtrary,  and 
serve  for  precedents  in  future,  it  is  altogether  a  misrepresentation  of 
the  nature  of  the  transaction,  to  describe  them  as  those  of  *'  a  secret  and 
irresponsible  ti-ibunah"  It  has  rarely  happened  that  any  of  the  mors 
respectable  class  of  tradesmen  have  been  disoommuDed.  One  such  OMO 
has  happened,  after  due  warning  on  the  part  of  the  Vice-GhatMellor, 
and  after  declaration  on  the  part  of  the  ofiTeuder  of  designed  resistanos 
to  the  edict.  But  it  is  scarcely  necessary  to  defend  such  oases.  That 
they  should  have  occurred  seeme  to  prove  no  more  than  that  equal  jnstioe 
is  dealt  out.  If  they  had  not  occurred,  it  might  have  been  assertsd  that 
the  University  acted  partially,  and  that  disregard  of  the  edicts  was  visited 
only  upon  "tradesmen  <»f  inferior  repute  and  credit,  who  oonaider  dis* 
communing  as  no  punishment  whatever/*  This,  however,  is  not  the 
question,  hut  whether  the  professed  ob^t  of  discommuning  is  aooom-

pliehed^  which  is  to  Iteop  the  StudentB  from  dealing  with  the  tradesmen 
implieated. 
L      U  Students  have  been  led  to  deal  with  tradesmen  in  London  and  eke- 
rirbere,  it  id  probably  owing  to  the  increased  facilities  of  commaDiDntion  and 
other  QAOses,  quite  irredpeotive  of  the  edicts  complained  of. 

If  ttnj  tradeamen  here  are  thwarted  in  their  desire  to  allow  on  due 
oredit,  one  of  the  main  objects  of  the  edicts  is  Becared.  And,  if  the  Uni- 
?ier«itj'  be  unable  to  prevent  tradesnien  elsewhere  from  granting  such 
crodit  to  the  Students,  thtit  would  hardly  excuse  it  from  not  ualng  its 
lendeavonrs  to  prevent  tradesmen  here  from  doing  ao,  especially  when 
dvantage  which  the  latter  have  of  ascertaining  the  family  eoanexlons 
means  of  a  Student  is  considered,  as  well  as  his  proximity  to  the 
temptations,  which  it  is  in  their  power  to  ofFer.  Neither  should  it  be 
nndanriood,  because  the  objection  adverts  only  to  the  topic  of  credit, 
UiaI  the  edicts  alluded  to  relate  to  no  other  point  of  discipline,  in  respect 
of  which  the  inhabitants  of  the  town  naay  b^  said  to  be  con  trolled  >  The 
Slndeots  cannot  seek  at  a  distance  carriages  or  horses,  or  the  more  perish- 
able Inxoiies* 

As  there  is  a  probability  that  the  Memorial  and  also  these  remarks 
will  fifentoally  obtain  public  oircnlation  in  conjunctton  with  the  Beport 
of  the  Commissioners,  it  will  be  a  satisfaction  to  the  University  that 
diBpSBsionate  persons  should  have  the  opportunity  of  weighing  the  re- 
tpeelive  ments  of  the  case,  and  of  kartung  to  what  extent  and  under  what 
jeftlousy  and  reproach  it  cierte  itself  io  protect  the  young  men  committed  to

Allofiion  is  made  in  the  Memorial  to  the  special  case  of  a  tradesman 
having  been  disoommuned  *'  for  having  sued  in  one  of  the  superior  Courts 
I  a  Bachelor  of  Arts,  who  had  ceased  to  reside  in  Cambridge,  and  was 
[iiviiig  in  Yorkshire/*  The  authority  for  this  remark  ia  the  edict  cited 
before  in  the  Memorial,  which  holds  out  the  threat  of  dis- 
to  **aiiy  inhabitant  of  the  town,  engaged  in  any  trade  or 
rprofeseion,"  who  •'shall  institute  legal  proceedings  for  the  recovery  of 
'  m  debt  doe  to  him  from  any  person  in  statu  pupillari,  without  first  giving 
WMonnble  notice  of  his  olaima  to  the  Tutor  of  such  person/'  Now  the 
?ify  terms  of  the  edict  point  out  that  the  tradesman  allnded  to  was 
disoommuned  not  for  having  sued,  but  for  having  sued  without  having 
giTea  to  the  Tutor  of  the  person  sued  that  previoufj  notice  of  the  existence 
of  Hie  debt,  which  is  enjoined  by  the  edict.  Moreover,  the  person  sued. 
being  m  Bsobelor  of  Arts,  was  still  in  the  class  which  is  designated  by 
Ihe  ezpreaiioii  in,  ntatu  pnpilhn  employed  in  the  edict,  (an  expression, 
of  vhif^  a  dear  explanation  is  appended  to  the  edict),  and  therefore  still 
its  control  as  well  as  protection ;  and  (although  this  is  not  material 
b)  tlte  debt  was  incurred  by  him  during  his  residence  as  an 
inaie.  If  the  edict  disregarded  in  this  instance  were  to  have 
no  other  result  than  to  oQeci  a  temporary  postponement  of  law  proceedings, 
il  would  not  have  the  result  oontompUted  and  desired,  which  is  to  prevent 
isnpcoper  oivdil  Miig  given,  as  well  ae  unneceasary  litigation.

Again ,  an  opinion  is  expre&B«d  that  it  "cannot  he  right  to  puniiih  a 
person  for  merely  availing  himself  of  the  femediea  for  the  recovery  of 
his  debt,  which  are  given  to  him  by  the  laws  of  the  land."  The  authority 
for  this  remark  is  also  to  he  found  in  the  Memorial,  viz.  the  preamble 
to  the  same  edict,  which  aete  forth  **that  it  is  expedient,  as  well  as  tor 
protecting  persons  in  gtatu  pupillari  against  impositions  or  vexationa  pro- 
eeedingfl  at  law,  as  for  securing  the  regular  and  prompt  payment  of  all 
jnst  and  lawful  debts  contracted  by  them,  that  the  expenses  incurred  by 
such  persons  should  be  brought,  as  far  as  is  practicable,  under  the  inspection 
and  control  of  the  Tntora  of  their  respective  Colleges,"  Here  also  the  very 
terms  of  the  preamble  point  out  that  one  main  object  of  the  University 
authorities  in  isBuIng  the  edict  was  to  ''secure  the  regular  and  prompt 
pajmient  of  all  jnst  and  lawful  debts"  oontracteil  by  persons  in  statu 
ptipiUari,  which  would  in  general  be  effected  by  application  to  their  parents: 
and  it  is  by  no  means  an  object  of  the  edicts,  nor  the  desire  of  those 
who  make  them,  to  liincier  any  person,  who  does  not  in  this  manner  obtain 
payment,  from  availing  himself  of  legal  remedies  for  the  recovery  of  debtSt 
much  lesfl  to  punish  him  for  doing  so. 

University  Cockts. 

The  exclnsiye  jurisdiction  of  the  Chancellor  of  the  University,  in  onMt 
where  a  Scholar  or  pririleged  person  of  the  University  is  a  party,  haa 
heen  impaired  by  the  Act  9  Geo.  TV.  o,  31,  under  which  Magistrates 
have  a  summary  power  of  punishing  persons  for  oommon  assaulta  For, 
although  that  Act  contains  nothing  directly  impairing  his  jnrisdiction, 
yet  it  has  doue  so  indirectly,  by  authorising  a  person  to  complain  of  an 
Msanlt  before  the  Magistrates  of  the  Town,  without  at  the  same  time 
reserving  the  privilege  of  the  University.  It  is  true  that  the  authorities 
of  the  University,  believing  that  there  was  nothing  in  the  Act  impugning 
its  privilege,  and  not  yet  aware  that  it  could  be  used  to  abridge  that 
privilege,  did  endeavour  to  bring  the  matter  to  an  amicable  settlement 
with  the  Magistrates  and  municipal  authorities  of  the  Town. 

The  opinion  apparently  entertained  by  the  Council,  that  '*  the  time  has 
arrived  when  the  right  to  exclusive  judicial  power  on  the  part  of  the 
University  may  be  benefioially  abolished,, "  may  be  best  met  by  a  rejoindsor, 
that  the  Legislature  would  do  but  Juatice  to  the  University  by  rastoring 
to  it  that  jurisdiction,  which  it  had  tmmemorially  enjoyed,  and  which,  as 
the  Univeraity  is  persuaded,  was  not  taken  away  designedly,  The  atteii* 
tion  of  the  University  was  not  drawn  to  the  Act,  when  under  discusaioii 
in  Parliament ;  and,  in  consequence,  it  did  not  apply  for  the  introduction 
of  a  dause  to  save  its  privilege.  There  is  no  reason  whatever  to  soppose 
that  the  Legislature  would  have  refused  what  it  haa  since  so  often  readily 
aocedsd  to  in  other  oases. 

The  peooliar  relations  existing  between  the  members  of  the  University 
and  many  of  the  Magistrates  of  the  Town  would  not  appear  to  make  the 
tatter  the  most  proper  judges  of  causes,  in  which  the  former  are  parties^

lo  esoape  with  the  pajrment  of  a  fine  which,  being  paid  to  the  Lurough,  doefl 
iol  oome  to  the  knowledge  of  the  University  aaihorities.  The  very  summary 
arse  of  proceeding  at  Petty  Seaatons  generally  prevents  the  authorities  of 
e  Univeraity  and  Colleges  from  ohtaining  any  information  of  the  offence 
having  been  committed  until  the  case  hoa  been  dealt  with  by  the  MagiatmtGa ; 
after  which,  eicept  in  flagrant  caseSt  it  is  very  seldom  that  anything  tran- 
ipires  of  auch  a  sort  as  to  make  it  appear  that  a  Student  has  been  implioated. 
It  is  not  thoaght  neoeaaatj  to  enter  into  any  general  justification  of  the 
proceedings  in  the  ObaDceUor*s  Court,  but  it  may  be  remarked  that  they  are 
eondnoled  aooording  to  the  rules  of  the  Civil  Law,  which  do  not  require 
'*a  joiy.**  Neither  is  there  one  at  Petty  Seaaions.  *'The  acensedt''  it  is 
said,  '*has  no  adequate  previous  notice  of  the  charge/'  The  answer  to 
which  is,  that  the  charge  is  always  stated  in  the  Summons.  He  thus  has 
at  least  a  longer  notice  than  if  he  were  brought  up  before  the  Magistrates  of 
the  Town ;  and  as  to  the  statement  that  the  offender  **  is  oros8-ez.amined  by 
the  judges,  who  are  his  accusers  also/'  it  is  no  more  correot  than  if  the  same

Local  Bubthkns* 

With  reference  to  the  statement  that  *'  the  University  and  Colleges  are 

charged  to  the  Land-Tax  £100,  per  annum  only,"  it  is  material  to  observe, 

that  the  whole  of  this  sum  of  £100.  is  at  the  present  day  charged  to  the 

;  University  in  its  distinct  character,  and  no  portion  of  it  is  charged  to  the 

lOolligis  as  being  part  of  the  ITniversity;  which  may  be  accounted  for  by  the 

circnmstanoe,  that  the  Colleges,  in  respect  of  their  sites  and  the  buHdingA 

within  the  walls  or  limits,  are,  In  common  with  some  other  similar  instl- 

tntiona,  wholly  exempt  from  Land-Tax,     The  next  sentence  in  the  Memorial 

nfaitt  to  ftn  agreement  of  10th  April,  1723,  between  the  University  and 

^Town,  by  which  an  arrangement  was  made  with  respect  to  the  proportions 

in  which  the  Land* Tax  should  be  paid  by  them.     This  agreement  would 

teem  to  have  been  the  basis  of  the  apportionment  made  between  the  Univer- 

Dty  and  Town  by  the  Land-tax  Act  of  38  Geo.  III.  o.  5. 

It  mnat  hera  be  meniio&ed,  in  farther  explanation  of  this  subject,  that

the  sitei  of  OoUeges  in  the  UtiiTemties  of  Oidord  jmd  Cambridge 
eiempted  from  Landt-T&x  by  the  Act  4  Will.  &  Mary,  c  I.  Thm  exemption, 
in  favour  of  the  CoUegoSt  has  been  continued  to  tiit-  preheat  time,  a  claase 
of  exemption  being  in  the  Liwxd-Tax  Act  38  Geo.  III.  c,  5,  now  in  force. 
By  thin  Act,  the  sums  chargeable  upon  varionB  oonnties  and  towns  are 
definitely  fixed.  The  proportiona  to  be  pstd  by  the  University  of  Cambridge 
and  by  the  Town  of  Cambridge  are  thereby  defined,  the  University  being 
charged  with  the  annual  sum  of  £100.,  and  the  Town  with  the  aonoal  mm 
of  £2,707.  ISf.  Id,  These  smne,  except  »o  far  as  portions  of  the  latter  may 
have  been  redeemed,  still  continae  to  be  paid  by  the  University  and  Town 
j««peotively,  notwithstanding  the  vast  increase  in  the  buildings  of  the  Town. 
Moreover  it  is  to  be  presumed  that  when  the  apportionment  of  the  entire 
Land^Tax  of  the  kingdom  among  the  variouB  counties,  towns,  and  districts 
took  place*  the  sum  fixed  upon  any  particular  loeaUty  would  be  in  proportion 
to  the  annual  value  of  the  chargeable  property  therein  situate.  This  being 
the  oase,  the  sam  charged  upon  the  district  of  Cambridge  would  be  smaller 
than  that  which  would  have  been  so  charged,  if  the  sites  of  Colleges  had 
not  been  exempted.  Under  the  above  cyrcumBtonces  it  would  seem  that  the 
inhabitants  of  the  Town  ought  to  be  more  than  content  with  the  esistixig 
apportionment. 

The  Council  of  the  Borough,  in  stating  the  earns  raised  for  Land-tax  and 
Bates,  has  omitted  the  mention  of  another  oiroumstanoe,  which  is  important 
in  reference  to  the  precedin*<  statement;  namely,  that  no  inconsiderable 
portion  of  those  sums  is  levied  on  property,  which,  though  not  striol^ 
Collegiate  yet  belongs  to  the  University  and  Colleges,  and  for  which  thiy 
pay  rates  and  taxes  by  themselves  or  by  their  tenants  in  the  same  manner 
as  any  other  proprietors. 

The  University  makes  a  voluntary  contribution  of  £240.  a-year  lor 
the  poor,  which  the  Vioe-Chancellor  apportions  among  the  several  parishee 
of  the  Town  at  his  discretion :  but  it  is  not  a  composition  as  stated  in  the 
Memorial. 

The  University  and  Colleges  are  of  opinion  that,  in  paying  two-fifths  of 
the  expenses  of  paving,  cleansing,  and  lighting  the  Town,  they  contribute 
far  more  than  a  just  and  reasonable  share.  The  tolls  oolleoted  under  the 
Cambridge  Improvement  Acts  amount  to  upwards  of  £1800.  a-year,  the 
whole  of  which  sum  is  exclusively  appropriated  by  those  Acts  towards  the 
dieobftrge  of  the  three- fifths  payable  by  the  Town.  On  an  average  of  the  latt 
three  years  the  sum  raised  by  the  University  and  Colleges  for  the  parpooes 
of  the  said  Acts  amounted  to  £1,925.  4^.  5d.,  while  that  raised  faj  rates  in 
the  Town  was  £2,001.  48,  4d.,  to  which  must  be  added  a  fixed  annual 
payment  of  £10.  out  of  the  Borough  Fund. 

In  conclusion  it  may  be  observed,  that  in  the  time  of  Queen  Elisabeth 
Ihe  Legislature  was  of  opinion  that  the  good  management  of  the  Univsiltj 
wma  ft  matter  of  concern  to  the  whole  nation,  and  aceordlngly  in  the  13th 
year  of  her  reign  an  Act  was  passed  formally  ratifying  all  the  charters  that 
had  been  granted  and  constantly  renewed  by  snooesBive  Sovereigns  for 
conferring  and  Beeuring  those  privileges,  which  it  had  seemed  expedient

that  the  University  should  possess,  ThoBG  privileges  are  conthmally  re- 
served to  Uie  UnivcsTBity  in  Act*  of  Purliameut,  Home  of  tlieiii  v^ry  rocenti 
which  without  such  retk^rvatiou  might  have-  th«)  effect  of  abrogating,  or  at 
kael  impairing  them;  Rud  not  unfrequently  they  are  gpeoially  recognized 
onfinned.  If  the  expedienej  of  its  retaining  those  privilegei^  be  duly 
,  there  appears  no  reason  to  doubt  that  the  Legiskture  vould  take 
rihe  Bome  view  as  heretofore,  and  that  the  community  at  large  would  concur 
'In  the  propriety  of  preserving  peculiar  powers  and  privileges  to  the  Uni- 
veraitji  espeQially  when  it  is  considered  how  much  they  concern  the 
mointeaanee  of  good  order  and  morality  among  the  young  men  entrusted 
to  ita  oare  and  superintendence. 

On  the  20th  of  FebruAry,  about  six  m  the  moruing,  an  accidental 
fire  broke  out  at  Trinity  Hallj  which  nearly  destroyed  the  whiile 
building.  The  front  part<^)  waa  gutted  by  nine  o*clt>ck,  by  which  hour 
all  danger  of  the  extension  of  the  fire  was  over.  Mr  Nunn,  who  was 
Bleepii]|g  in  an  adjoining  room  to  that  in  which  the  fire  broke  out, 
had  a  naiTow  escape.  It  waa  eoriHidered  a  somewhat  singular  coin- 
ddence,  that  Sir  Herbert  Jenner  Fust,  the  Master  of  the  College,  died 
on  the  same  day. 

Mr  William  Bennett,  the  occupier  of  a  farm  at  Trumpington 
(belonging  to  Trinity  College,  but  leased  by  that  society  U>  tho  TnLsteen 
of  the  late  F.  C\  J.  Peniberton,  Esq.),  erected  a  barrier  acro^a  the 
western  bank  of  the  New  River  at  the  point  where  the  Pariah  of 
Trumpington  joints  the  Borough.  The  Coqxtration  (acting  under  the 
advice  of  Counael)  thereupon  gave  him  notice  under  their  common 
aeal,  that  unless  such  barrier  were  taken  down  they  should  proceed  to 
remove  the  same  by  force,  both  for  themselves  and  on  behalf  of  the 
Univetaity.  The  UniverBity,  however,  on  the  17th  of  March,  gave  a 
notice  under  their  common  seal  that  they  expressly  dissented  from  the 
act  intended  to  be  done  on  their  behalf  by  the  Corporation,  wherefi»re 
no  further  stepe  were  or  could  be  taken  in  the  matterJ*> 

On  the  20th  of  April,  a  pnblic  meeting,  convened  by  the  Mayor 
(who  presided),  was  held  at  the  Guildhall,  to  petition  against  the 
Militia  Bill,  such  t>etition  waa  unanimously  adopted.

VTOTORIA. 

Mr  Death  niovetl  the  court  of  Queen's  Bench,  for  a  Rule  calling  upon 
the  Vioe-Chancellor  and  the  ten  Heads  of  Houses  to  tihew  ak\L^-  whj 
a  Writ  of  Prohibition  should  not  issue  directed  to  them,  prohibiting  all 
proceedings  under  tlieir  decree  or  edict  The  Rule  was  refused.  Sub- 
joined 18  an  accurate  report  of  the  argument  in  support  of  the  motion, 
with  the  retuariffi  of  the  judges  : — 

Mb  Watsok*— The  decree  of  1847  i»  void,  as  being  beyond  the  power  of 
the  Vloe-Chanoellor  and  heade  of  hoti&es,  for  it  purports  to  authorize  any 
mode  of  pnnialiment  which  maj  seem  fit  to  the  Vice- Chancellor  and  heads 
of  oolkges. 

LoBJ>  CavpbbUi  {C.  J.). — It  is  only  enforced  by  way  of  discommuning : 
it  it  not  good  as  to  that? 

Mb  WAT80!r. — The  addition  vitiates  the  whole  decree.  By  the  Btatatea 
of  the  University,  the  power  of  making  laws  for  the  rognlation  of  the 
University  resides  in  the  senate  alone. 

Lord  Campbell, — How  then  can  yon  have  a  prohibition^  if  the  pro* 
oeeding  is  merely  voidf 

Mb  Wjitson. — It  is  taken  as  a  precise  prooeeding  in  the  Vice- Chancellor's 
Oawett  which  is  a  ooart  of  record  in  which  the  heads  of  ooUeges  asaiat  as 
aiMMOfs — Tht  King  v.  thi*  Chance llor^  dc.  of  Cambfidge,^^^  The  Btunmons 
issoed  onder  the  oMoial  seal  of  the  Vice-Chanoellor,  and  the  applicant  had 
a  right  to  appear  there  and  make  hi^  defence  by  counsel.  II  lie  had  been 
allowed,  it  is  possible  that  he  might  have  shewn  that  he  had  sent  in  his  bill 
lo  the  tntor,  as  required  by  the  decree. 

LoBn  Gampbell. — We  cannot  require  the  fomiK  of  a  judicial  prooeeding 
lo  be  observed  in  carrying  out  such  a  regulation  for  Ihe  discipline  of  the 
University. 

Mb  Watson.— But,  assuming  that  this  is  not  a  proceeding  in  the 
Vioe'ChaDoellor'a  court,  then  it  wsk  a  penal  proceeding  before  a  body 
who  had  no  authority  whatever,  bat  who  hare  taken  upon  themselves 
to  adjudicate  so  as  to  affect  the  rights  of  a  tradeeman  in  the  town  of 
Cambridge. 

Mb  Justice  CoLEBinoB.— Is  tt  anything  more  than  forbidding  persons 
lit  Biatu  pupiUnri  dealing  with  the  tradeaman?  If  your  argument  is  good 
for  Ihe  University,  it  must  be  equally  good  for  a  large  schooi  like  Eton  or 
Harrow ;  and  if  so,  it  wonld  be  good  for  a  little  sohoolr  and  we  should  be

called  upon  to  inquire  bj  prohibition  into  the  propriety  of  directing  thftt  tlie 
boys  elioald  not  deal  with  tradesmen  under  pariiotil&r  cireumBtADoes. 

Mr  Watbon. — It  iR  a  penal  proceeding  against  the  tradeBman. 

Mr  Justice  Cboicpton. — If  they  bad  aflected  to  fine  him,  perhaps  you 
might  be  right,  bat  here  they  only  punish  their  pupils. 

Mr  Watbok. — He  ia  indirectly  affected  by  the  decree  and  has  a  right, 
therefore^  to  a  prohibition. 

Lord  Cuipbiell.— I  am  ol  opinion  that  to  grant  a  prohibition  in  thi« 
oaae  would  be  interfering  mofrt  improperly  with  the  discipline  of  the 
XJniverBity,  I  approve  moRt  highly  of  the  regulatiooB  of  the  11th  of 
February  1847»  and  I  think  It  was  within  the  power  of  the  Vice-Chanoellor 
aod  heads  of  colleges  to  make  SQoh  a  regolation,  and  I  dhonld  be  sorry 
if  any  obstacles  were  interposed  to  its  being  enforced.  This  was  not  a 
judioial  proceeding  before  the  Vice- Chancellor  and  heads  of  honses*  but 
merely  a  regulation  for  the  conduct  of  those  entrusted  to  their  cars,  that 
they  shall  not  be  allowed  to  deal  with  tradesmen  who  permit  them  (o  run 
up  debts.  When  a  tradeaman  is  discommuned,  the  effect  is  merely  to  give  a 
caution  to  those  in  ttatu  piipilhin  not  to  deal  with  him.  The  proceedings 
here  taken  were  not  in  the  Vice-Chancellor's  court,  of  which  we  take  judicial 
notiee  aa  a  court  of  great  antiquity,  and  entitled  to  high  respect,  hot  were 
merely  for  the  purpose  of  giving  the  tradesman  an  opportunity  of  shewing 
whether  the  information  was  true  that  he  had  violated  tbe  regulation.  To 
tay  that  a  party  is  entitled  to  come  with  oounael  and  attorney  before  snch  a 
domestic  forum  would  be  perfectly  monstrous.  As  to  the  decree  itaetf,  H 
has  been  said  that  it  is  void  because  it  authorizes  the  in^iction  of  other 
penalties  besides  diBcommuniag,  but  no  attempt  haR  been  made  so  to  enfoi^ 
it.  So  far  as  diHcooimuning  Roes,  that  is  within  the  power  of  the  Tiee- 
Cbancellor  and  heads  of  colleges  to  impose  ;  and  it  is  quite  clear  that 
nothing  beyond  this  was  ever  meant  or  ever  attempted.  It  is  a  rule — and 
a  very  wholesome  rule— established  for  the  purpose  of  oarrying  oat  the 
discipline  of  the  University. 

Mb  Justice  Coleaii>ox. — I  am  of  the  same  opinion,  and  shall  add  veiy 
little  to  what  has  been  already  said.  I  cannot,  in  the  proceedings  oom- 
plained  of,  see  anything  like  an  attempt  to  encroach  on  judicial  power.  It 
is  a  mere  sumptuary  regulation,  made  for  the  sake  of  the  young  men  at  the 
different  collegea ;  and  the  mode  in  which  it  operates  is,  by  telling  them  that 
if  certain  tradesmen  will  not  comply  with  the  regulations,  those  in  §tatu 
p^piUari  will  not  be  allowed  to  deal  with  them.  It  it  said  tlut  there  was 
an  attempt  to  proceed  judicially,  because  there  was  what  was  called  an 
edict,  and  a  summons,  and  a  complaint  by  a  tutor ;  and  it  is  argued  that, 
in  consequence  of  this,  the  paxty  proceeded  against  had  a  right  to  be  heard 
by  attorney  in  his  defence.  But  we  must  look  to  the  substance  of  the 
matter,  and  not  to  the  form.  Tbe  Vice-Chanoellor  and  heads  of  hontea 
desired  to  proceed  with  due  caution,  and  therefore  issued  what  was  in  fonB 
a  sammons  to  the  party  to  be  aSected ;  but  is  really  nothing  more  than  a 
notice  that  he  may  attend  if  he  pleases.  It  is  not  becftuiie  they  have  sub- 
stantially iOQght  to  do  justice  that  this  is  to  be  turned  into  a  jndioial

prooeedm;;.  Dealing  with  ttioh  a  proceeding  as  thta  is,  it  would  be 
extremely  raJBchievonB  to  entertain  any  doubt,  and  nothing,  in  my  mind, 
would  be  more  so,  than  to  turn  thU  into  anytliing  like  a  judicial  proceeding. 
If  Mr  Beatb  hai  a  right  to  appear  by  counsel  and  attorney,  the  pupils  muni 
iwoMBtiily  have  the  same  privilege,  and  there  would  be  no  end  to  the 
interferenoe. 

Mb  JtrsTicB  Eale — ^Thia  motion  ought  to  be  refuaed.  The  order  com- 
plained of  IB  one  made  for  the  enforcement  of  di&olpUne  in  the  University, 
and  in  no  degree  resembles  a  jadicial  proceeding. 

Mr  Jusnci  Cbomptok.— If  1  thought  this  regulatioii  as  wrong  as  I 
think  it  is  right  and  wholesome,  I  should  be  of  opinion  that  we  eould  not 
interfere.  It  is  merely  a  proceeding  to  enforce  discipline,  and  it  is  not 
toade  a  jadicial  proceeding  because  there  is  a  decree  and  a  summons,  which 
need  not  have  been  sent.  We  should  do  great  harm  if  we  threw  any  doubt 
on  the  validity  of  such  a  proceeding ;  and,  therefore,  the  rule  for  a  pro* 
hibition  must  be  refused.  <i> 

In  October,  the  Vice-Chancelior  intiniat^d  that  the  edict  of  the 
iith  of  May  would  not  be  enforced,  Mr  Death  having  promised  com- 
pli&Qoe  with  the  decree  of  1847. 

On  the  28th  of  May  the  Syndicate  for  revision  of  the  Universi^ 
Statutes,  made  a  further  Report  in  the  following  terms : — 

The  Syndicate,  appointed  by  Grace  of  the  Senate,  March  7,  1«49,  and 

renewed  March  15,  1850,  March  19,  1851,  and  March  26,  1852,  to  reviae 

the  Statutes  of  the  University,  and  to  report  to  the  Senate,  having  again 

the  subject  of  the  conetitatiou  and  powers  of  the  Caput  into  con-

of  Dtvinity  one,  the  Doctors  in  Law  another,  and  the  Doctors  in  Physio 
atiiM. 

The  Profeaaora,  not  being  either  Heads  of  Colleges  or  Doctors  in  any

On  every  occasion,  when  any  member  of  the  Council  intends  to  absent

On  the  30th  of  August  Ut  the  Commissiouera  for  enquiring  into  the 
StAte,  Discipline,  Studies,  and  Revenues  of  the  University  and  CoUegeo 
mide  their  Report  to  the  Queeu.  The  recommendations,  suggestiona^ 
aod  opioioua  of  the  CommiasionerB  contained  in  this  voluminoua  docu- 
ment are  to  the  following  effect : 

1.    Thai  the  exclusive  jurisdiction   of  the  Chancellor'a  Court  has  been 
materially  affected  by  the  Act  9  Geo.  IV.,  giving  Magistrates  a  sum- 
mary power  of  punishing  for  common  assaults.    That  so  far  aa  the 
exclusive  jurisdiction  of  the  University  remains  unimpaired,  the  asser- 
^  lion  of  the  privilege  is  attended  with  considerable  difi^cully  in  eon* 
liequenoe  of  the   formalities    required   for  establishing    the   claim  of 
[iQsanoe,  when  the  complaioing  party,  instead  of  bringing  his  case 
ilore  the  University  Ckturt,  has  applied  to  the  municipal  Magistrates 
'  to  the  superior  Courts  of  Law.    That  it  may  not  be  an  unfit  subject 
or  consideration,  whether  some  greater  facility  ml^ht  not  be  reasonably 
afforded  to  the  University  in  this  reepeot.     (pp.  4,5.) 
That  in  the  Investigation  (in  the  Chancellor's  Court)  of  caeee  of  in* 
iernai  and  domestio  diisoipllne,  publicity  may  not  be  essential  to  the 
of  jnstioe  and  correction;  but  that  in  all  strictly  judicial  oaaos 
the  acouaed  party  is  not  a  member  of  the  University,  it  is

defiirable  and  proper  that  the  Cotirt  should  be  open  uid  the  prooeedio^ 
public,    (p.  6.) 

8.  That  the  great  aits^mlil.v  may  be  acWanta^eously  diacoutiQaed  as  having 
ceased  to  be  prodtiotive  of  any  good  effect  and  being  endured  reluctantly 
by  the  Town.     (p.  7.) 

4.  That  the  Oath  of  the  Mayor  and  Bailiffs  to  oonaervB  the  liberties  and 
ouatomB  of  the  University  niight  without  any  real  disadvantage  ba 
discontinued,  not  as  being  a  grievance  or  humiliation  to  the  Town, 
but  as  iinnecessary ;  and  from  a  sense  of  the  importance  of  removiiig 
jealousy  on  the  part  of  the  Town  towards  the  University,    (p*  7,) 

5.  That  it  would  be  a  graceful  and  expedient  oonoesBion  on  the  part  of 
the  University  to  yield  up  the  right  of  granting  Licenses  for  Ale- 
honaai  to  the  Borough  Magistratei^,  but  that  it  appears  to  be  very 
important  for  the  purposes  of  discipline  that  the  Vioe-ChanoeUor 
should  possess  the  power  of  revoking  the  Hcenoe  of  any  victualler, 
who  shall  have  been  proved  before  him  to  have  afforded  facilities  for 
the  reception  of  women  of  improper  character  in  his  house,  or  to  have 
permitted  Students  to  resort  to  it  for  the  practice  of  gamee  disallowed 
by  the  University,  or  to  have  infringed  such  rules  as  the  Viee- 
Chancellor  and  Heads  of  Colleger  may  have  passed  for  controlling 
the  eipenees  of  persons  in  statu  pupillari.  That  such  power  to  be 
effective  should  be  absolute  and  without  appeal.  That  it  shonld  not 
be  oompetent  for  the  Magistrates  to  grant  a  new  licence,  either  lo  the 
offending  party  or  to  any  tetiant  of  the  same  house,  without  the  formil 
oonaent  of  the  Vice- Chancellor  to  that  effect,    (pp.  7,  d.) 

6.  That  the  reasons  for  preserving  to  the  University  the  control  ovwr 
theatrical  entertaintnentfi  witbiii  the  Town  or  suburbs  of  Cahibridge, 
do  not  appear  to  apply  to  the  neighbouring  Towns  of  Newmarket, 
Boyeton»  and  Saint  Ives.    <p.  8>) 

7.  That  the  exercise  of  the  power  of  disoommunmg,  in  a  temperate  and 
judicious  manner,  is  well  adapted  to  produce  salutary  effects  by 
chftoking  improper  expenses  and  preventing  mischievous  faoilitieB  of 
orodit.    (p.  9:) 

B.  That  the  recommendation  of  the  Statutes  Syndicate  that  the  High 
Steward  of  the  University  should  be  elected  in  the  same  way  u  the 
Ohanoellor  is  very  judicious,     (p.  10) 

9.  That  the  procuratorial  power  as  respects  women  of  improper  oharaoter 
(which  is  much  more  extensive  than  any  possessed  by  the  munidpal 
authorities  of  the  place  for  like  objects)  requires  to  be  exercised  vrith 
judgment  and  discretion.  That  they  are  disposed  to  think  that,  with 
few  exceptions,  it  has  been  so  exercised,  and  with  results  no  lees 
conducive  to  the  comfort  of  the  respectable  inhabitantfi  of  the  Town 
than  to  the  decorum  and  morals  of  the  University,     (p,  10.) 

10.    That  no  person  should  be  eligible  to  the  oMce  of  Proctor  who  has 
distiontinued   his  residence   and  been  absent  from  the  University  for 
a  period  of  two  years  immediately  antecedent  to  the  time  of  eleotioa

mtiy  of  Bummary  jurbdiction,     (p.  10.) 

12.  That  in  the  present  state  of  things  the  infipeotion  of  ireights  and 
roeaanrea  would  be  more  oonTeniently  exercised  by  tlie  tnunloipal 
aDthoritiee  than  bj  the  UniTemity;  and  thnt  the  office  of  Taxom 
might  be  diacontinned.     (p.  11.) 

13.  That  the  proposed  reduotion  of  the  number  of  the  Esquire  Bedells 
from  three  to  two,^^'  might  be  made  without  any  ineonvenienoe^ 
(pp.  11,  12.) 

14.  That  the  Esquire  Bedells  be  not  required  to  carry  their  itaves  in 
any  procession  through  the  public  streets,  unless  whan  they  are  in 
attendance  on  the  Chancellor  himself,  or  upon  the  Vice- Chancellor 
in  oasee  of  extraordinary  public  solemnity ;  but  that  it  still  be  their 
duty  to  reoeive  the  Tiee-Chaneellor  with  fit  honour  at  the  entrance 
of  the  Senate-House,     (p.  12.) 

That  the  proposals  of  the  Statutes  Syndicate  to  alter  the  constitution 
of  the  Caput,  to  limit  its  powers  and  to  institute  a  Council  of  Legis- 
lation,^'^  has  bf^en  framed  with  careful  deliberation,  and  it  is  hoped 
may  in  due  time  receive  the  sanction  of  the  Senate,  (pp.  Id.  14,  15.) 
That  the  law  relating  to  minors  might  he  extended  to  the  case  of 
all  Undergraduates  in  the  UniversttjeB,  who  shall  obtain  from  any 
tradeeman  articles,  not  coming  under  the  class  of  neoeaaaries,  witli- 
ont  the  expreea  cousent  of  their  parents  or  guardians,  or  the  Tutor 
of  their  College;  provided  it  can  be  shown  that  the  tradesman, 
(timishing  those  artiolea,  was  aware  of  the  aoademtcaJ  condition  of 
the  purchasers,     {p.  18.) 

17.  Tliat  the  expenses  of  the  great  majority  of  the  Students  are  moderate. 
That  the  fact  reflects  credit  both  on  themselves,  and  on  the  authorities 
of  the  University  and  the  several  Colleges.  That  the  necessary 
expense  of  reddenoe  ia  small  and  that  the  actual  average  expenaa 
does  not  exceed  a  reasonable  limit,    {p.  18.) 

18.  That  the  system  of  Lodging  House  Licences,  if  carefully  and  vigilantly 
guarded,  appears  to  be  capable  of  securing  to  a  great  extent  the  sob- 
■tantial  benefit  of  collegiate  Muperintendaoce,  and  at  the  same  time 
of  affording  freo  and  ample  admission  of  any  nmnber  of  Students 
dMirona  of  the  advantages  of  an  University  education,     (pp.  18,  19.) 

19.  That  a  Board  should  be  established  for  regulating  the  course  of  study 
and  the  process  of  examination  in  Classical  studies,  (pp.  23,  98,  B9,

nation  for  aU  Academical  Honours  and  Degrees,  should  be  left  to

22.  That  a  cottrae  of  instrnction  for  StudentH  in  Civil  Engineering  would 
easily  ally  itself  to  the  study  of  Theoretical  Mathematics,  and  give  to 
them,  in  thtJi  particular  line,  a  practioal  application.  That  there  cao 
scarcely  be  a  doubt  that  this  extension  of  the  academical  sy&tem  would 
commend  itself  by  its  manifest  utility  to  public  approbation,  and  m 
course  of  jitndy  and  examination  in  this  branch  of  knowledge  should

24.  That  tliey  concur  in  the  proposals  of  the  Statutes  Syndicate  to  abridge

26.  That  after  passing  the  said  Examination^  Students  might  be  allowed

with  its  system,  and  be  modified  therefore  from  time  to  time  to  suit 
the  changes  which  it  undergoes ;  and  that  it  in  chiefly  owing  to  the 
want  of  necessary  readjustments  of  the  varying  ciroamstancfls  of  the 
University  that  acme  of  them  have  lost  their  proper  inHuenoe  in  its

That  it  would  bo  a  aatisfaotory  system  if  the  payment  for  tuition  were

passing  the  Previous  Examination,  and  afterwards  to  the  University 
for  the  maintenance  of  the  staff  of  Public  Lecturers,     (p.  82.) 

57.  That  both  these  staflfs  of  Instructors,  aa  well  the  College  aa  the  Public

edaeaiion  in  ail  Colleges  where  Medical  Fellowships  exist  or  are

BAorifioe  of  the  em  ol  amen  is  of  the  whole  or  a  considerable  part  of 
ihe  Fellowship  itself,  would  be  now  the  moat  effectual  mode  of 
establishing  a  Mediccti  School  on  a  secure  and  permanent  basis;  and 
that  they  are  disposed  to  think  that  this  is  the  best  destination  which

than  is  nooeesary  to  secnre  the  services  of  a  person  of  eminent  literary

for  at  leaRt  six  months  in  the  year.  Secondly,  that  tbe  whole  or  a 
considerable  part  of  their  aalary  should  not  be  paid  unless  the  re- 
quired Lectures  bad  been  delivered;  but  thut  if  old  age  or  continued

of  Colleges  appointed  by  their  body,  and  eight  Members  of  the  Senate 
appointed  by  the  Colleges  according  to  a  cycle,  a  body  would  be 
formed  which  would  be  little  likely  to  be  influenced  by  the  personal 
intereets  and  feelings  of  any  predominant  class  of  its  members  to 
such  an  extent  as  seriously  to  compromise  its  usefulness  and  impar*

af»  not  elected  or  clianged  periodically  j  they  are  much  too  numeroas,

the  appointment  and  removal  of  the  Library  AMiatanta.     (p.  l^iL)

Undergraduates,  but  also  other  persons  not  members  of  tlie  Uni-

(p.  132.) 

98.  That  whenever  the  time  shall  arrive,  upon  the  completion  of  the 
internal  decorations  of  the  Fitzwilliam  Museum,  that  the  ample  funds 
bequeikthed  by  Lord  Fitswilliam  shuU  be  applicable  to  the  increase 
of  the  Collections  it  cod  tains,  it  might  be  desirable  to  devote  some 
considerable  portion  of  them  to  the  purchase  of  riohly  illustrated  works, 
and  they  recommend  the  transfer  to  it  of  ail  sueh  works  now  in  the

That  St  is  only  by  associating  printers  or  publishers  in  some  species  of

any  considerable  return  can  hereafter  be  expected  from  the  capital

95.  That  they  gladly  concur  In  the  recommendation  that  the  Fees  from 
Ck>mpoanders  should  no  longer  be  exacted,    (p.  139.) 

%.  That  the  remission  of  the  Stamp  Dutiea  upon  Matiiculations  and 
Degrees  and  the  official  Certificates  of  DegreeSt  is  deserving  of  the 
favourable  oonsideratiou  of  the  Legislature  ;  but  that  if  Huch  remiasioa 
should  be  made,  the  University  should  be  called  ui>on  out  of  its  own

97*  That  it  would  be  highly  expedient  that  the  present  practice  of  confining 
University  income  to  strictly  University  parposes  should  be  contiouedi 
and  that  it  would  be  the  means  of  protecting  the  University  from 
appUoations  which  in  time  of  excitement  it  is  difficult  to  refuse,  if  it 
were  declared  that  votes  of  money  for  other  than  Academical  objects

as  to  the  appointment  of  Auditors,'^'  will  be  a  satisfactory  mode  of 
securing  an  effective  audit  of  the  public  accounts  of  the  University, 
(p.  142.) 

100.  That  they  are  glad  to  notice  in  the  Draft  of  the  proposed  New  Statutes 
a  clause  to  legalize  the  exaction  of  the  Library  tax,  and  are  disposed  to 
think  it  would  be  advantageous  if  the  University  had  also  the  power  to 
impose  contributions  upon  its  members  for  general  purposes  of  a 
strictly  Academical  character,     (p.  142.) 

101.  That  it  would  not  be  expedient  to  revert  to  the  ancient  practice, 
80  far  as  to  allow  of  matriculated  Students  of  the  University  not 
attached  to  any  College  or  Hall;  and  that  the  extension  of  the 
benefits  of  the  University,  so  as  to  embrace  a  larger  number  of 
Students  than  at  present  exists,  and  more  proportionate  to  the  great 
increase  of  population  and  national  wealth,  must  be  sought  in  a 
corresponding  growth  of  the  Collegiate  system,  and  in  such  improve- 
ments of  the  existing  foundations  as  may  render  them  more  practically 
useful,    (pp.  143,  144.) 

102.  That  it  would  be  very  advantageous  if  buildings  were  erected  for  the 
reception  of  Students  in  immediate  connection  with,  and  under  the 
direct  control  of,  the  Collegiate  bodies.  For  such  Affiliated  Halls  they 
apprehend  no  fresh  powers  are  required,     (p.  144.) 

103.  That  it  is  desirable  that  College  Servants  should  be  paid  by  fixed 
stipends,  and  not  by  perquisites,  and  in  particular  that  the  system 
of  profits  on  the  sale  of  commodities,  wherever  it  prevails,  ehoold,  as 
far  as  practicable,  be  discontinued  ;  and  that  care  also  should  be  taken, 
that  the  prices  of  all  articles  supplied  for  the  use  of  Students,  should 
be  frequently  revised  and  made  known  in  the  College,  and  provision 
made  for  the  frequent  information  of  the  Student,  as  to  the  amount, 
and  the  several  particulars,  of  the  liabilities  he  has  incurred,    (p.  149.) 

104.  That  a  revision  of  the  ancient  Statutes  of  the  Colleges  has  become 
a  matter  of  urgent  importance,     (pp.  150,  151,  152.) 

105.  That  the  substitution  of  a  promise  to  obey  College  Statutes  for  an 
oath  to  that  efifect  might  be  adopted  with  advantage  in  the  Collegiate 
Statutes,     (p.  152.) 

106.  That  it  would  be  an  improvement  in  the  mode  of  election  of  the 
Master  of  St  Peter's  College,  if  the  Fellows  were  allowed  to  choose 
their  own  Master,     (p.  153.) 

107.  That  the  restriction  in  the  Statutes  of  Caius  College  with  respect  to 
the  election  of  the  Master  should  be  removed,    (p.  153.) 

108.  That  the  emoluments  of  the  Master  of  Trinity  Hall  are  quite  in-

109,  That  in  the  reriflioo  of  the  StataieB  and  FoandatioQs  of  Colleges, 
it  would  be  advaotageoaB  if  an  iuoome  were  Becared  to  the  Heada 
of  tbe  aeferal  OoUogea  from  the  resoarces  of  the  Society  itself,  which 
ahould  render  them  independent  of  other  officer  and  emoluments; 
that  arrangementa  might  be  made  by  whieh  livings  annex.ed  to  the 
Maaterahip  might  fjkU  into  the  ordinary  channel  of  the  ecclesiaatical 
patronage  of  the  College;  and  that  a  sum  of  money,  not  necessarily 
fixed,  but  varying  with  tbe  linanoiAl  prosperity  of  the  College,  would 
be  pceferable  to  emolttments  in  kind.     (p.  156.) 

UO.  That  the  perfect  inteprrity  and  impartiality  with  whiah  Fellowships 
are  for  the  moat  part  awarded^  is  one  of  the  most  valuable  features 
of  the  Cambridge  system.  A  Student,  however  friendless  and  un- 
known, provided  he  have  the  requii^ite  quali6 cations  of  character 
ftnd  ability,  is  as  sure  of  obtaining  hia  Fellowship  as  another  of  better 
fiunily  or  wealthier  connexions,     (p.  153.) 

111.  That  it  would  be  highly  beneficial  to  the  several  Colleges  if  oeriain 
limitations  on  the  election  to  Fellowships  (excepting  the  case  of 
particular  schools)  were  entirely  removed  by  an  enactment  of  the 
Legislature;  and  that  t^uch  limitationB  should  be  prohibited  in  the 
caae  of  future  accession  of  endowment,     (pp.  157 — 168.) 

112.  That  it  would  be  a  great  benefit  to  those  Colleges  in  which  Bye- 
Fellowships  exist,  if  gradually,  and  without  prejudice  to  the  interests 
of  existing  Fellows,  the  diieront  benefactions  were  incorporated  and 
the  Fellowships  miMiQ  more  nearly  equal,    (pp.  167,  I'^B.) 

113.  That  it  would  be  advantageons  if  the  election  to  all  Fellowships  and 
ScbohushipB  were  vested  in  the  Master  and  Fellows,  or  in  that  portion 
of  the  Society  to  which  the  government  of  the  College  either  is  or  may 
be  entrusted  by  the  Statutes,    (pp.  1(58,  169.) 

~il4.  That  it  is  desirable,  at  least  in  the  three  larger  Colleges,  that  no 
candidate  should  be  admisBible  to  a  Fellowship  after  attaining  the 
standing  required  for  the  M.A.  degree,  (pp.  169,  170.) 
115.  That  no  one  should  be  allowed  to  obtain  a  Fellowship  who  had 
not  been  admitted  to  the  degree  of  B.A.  (excepting  in  the  cases  of 
those  Colleiges  which  admit  Law  or  Medioal  degrees  as  a  sufficient 
qnatifioation).  (pp.  169,  170.) 
116^  That,  so  far  as  Medical  Fellowships  are  concerned,  it  would  be  enough 
if  the  M.D.  degree  at  the  usual  time  were  indispensable;  and  that  as 
legiaidi  Legal  Fellowships,  a  call  to  the  bar  at  the  proper  time  should 
at  all  events  be  demanded.    \p,  170.) 

117.  That  in  the  three  larger  CoUeges  there  should  be  an  annual  election 
of  FttUowfl  at  a  fixed  time;  and  that  in  the  other  Colleges  it  would 
be  convenient  if,  upon  a  vacancy  ocoumng  in  a  Fellowship,  the  space 
of  12  montha  were  allowed  to  fill  it  up,  beyond  which  time  it  should 
not  be  in  the  power  of  the  Society  to  keep  any  of  their  Fellowships

in  particular  Colleges,     (p.  199.) 


With  respect  to  tho  tidmisaioii  of  DiaaontGrs  to  Degrees  the  Gom- 
ouers  make  the  following  remarks. 


Beyond  this  line  there  ties  another  and  a  larger  question  on  which  we 
do  not  enter;  namely,  the  expediency  of  admitting  persons  to  Degrees  in 
Arte  and  Law  and  Physic,  who  are  not  Members  of  the  Chur^li  of  England 
The  subject  would  present  compAratively  few  difiicuUies,  if  it  involved 
dy  the  conferring  of  a  certificate  and  title  of  Aeii.d«^mioal  profioienoy.  But 
Qe  real  difficulty  lies  in  another  point ;  whether  the  internal  system  of 
ate  discipline  and  the  coarse  of  Academical  administration  could  be 
»  adjusted  as  to  comprehend  persons  of  different  religious  opinions  without 
Ibe  neglect  of  religious  ordinances,  the  oompromiae  of  religious  cousisteneyf 
or  the  distorbanoe  of  religious  peace. 

Not  seeking  to  disguise  our  impression  of  the  greatness  of  the  difficulty, 

wWe  yet  desire  to  express  our  sense  of  the  importance  of  the  q[uesllon  itself. 

The  Umversity  is  a  great  national  iiiHtitatioa ;  invested  with  important 

fifilegea  bjr  the  favour  of  the  Grown  or  the  authority  of  the  Legislature. 

M  a  most  extensive  iiidueuce  on  the   education   of  the  higher 

nod  middle  classes  of  the  commuuity,  and  consequently  oa  the  intellectual, 

moral,  and  sooial  character  of  the  nation.     But  its  capacity  of  exeroiaing 

bis  high  prerogative  fully  and  completely  must  depend   on   its  keeping 

with  the  progress  of  enlightened  opinion  and  moving  in  sympathy

and  unison  with  the  spirit  of  the  Qgc.  It  is  one  of  the  noblest  oh&fi4^ 
terislios  of  oar  timBu  that  the  barnerH,  wbiish  long  exeladed  so  m«ny  of 
oui'  fellow-Bubjeotfi  from  the  iiqtial  enjoymeut  of  civil  righta  on  aoconnt 
of  ilifferoncea  iu  religioas  opinion,  have  happily  been  removed  by  the 
prevaknoe  of  a  generous  and  wise  policy.  The  University  will  be  placedi 
mort}  or  l^as^  in  a  false  position,  if  it  estranges  itself  from  this  groat 
movement  of  liberal  progress.  There  is  a  manifest  and  intelligible  ohallen^ 
to  it  to  throw  open  the  advantages  of  its  system  of  education,  nnder  proper 
seouritie.s,  as  widely  as  the  State  has  tlu-owu  op<?n  the  avenues  to  civil  rights 
and  honours,  Undoobtedly,  many  of  the  endowments  of  its  Colleges  are 
oonnecied  with  the  Church  by  links  which  it  would  be  an  injustice  to  sever* 
Its  Boboo]  of  Theology  is  identified  with  the  Church,  and  incapable  of  a 
separate  existence.  But,  as  a  great  school  of  liberal  education  for  the  lay 
professions,  for  the  porauits  of  general  literatnre  and  science,  for  the  buai- 
nesa  and  offices  of  active  and  pablie  life,  it  should  seem  to  be  capable  of  a 
freer  range  and  a  more  extended  naefulness  without  any  compromise  of  du^ 
or  apostasy  of  principle.  Were  it  to  enter  on  this  more  open  course  in  a 
spirit  of  generous  magnanimity,  it  might  draw  to  its^elf  a  yet  larger  tneasure 
of  public  sympathy,  and  even  find  increased  safety  in  thns  identifying  itsdl 
with  the  liberal  policy  of  the  age. 

What  Becuritiea  should  accompany  suoh  a  conoeasion  to  public  opinion ; 
what  guarantees  for  internal  peace  can  be  provided,  either  by  regnlations 
of  the  University  or  enactments  of  the  Legislature;  how  much  can  be 
made  matter  of  compact,  and  how  much  muBt  be  left  to  mutual  ooxifi- 
denoe  between  the  University  and  any  new  classes  of  Students  whom  it 
may  eventually  be  induced  to  admit ;  these  are  questions  on  which  we  do 
not  presume  to  express  ao  opinion.  We  humbly  leave  them  to  the  effeot 
of  time,  to  the  wisdom  of  the  Legislature,  to  the  gracious  consideration  of 
your  Majesty,     (p.   44.) 


Tb6  practical  means  by  which  the  recommendations  of  the 
may  be  carried  out  are  thus  stated. 

Having  now  indicated  the  principles  upon  which  we  think  that  any 
refonn  of  the  University  and  Colleges  should  be  conducted,  it  remains 
to  consider  the  practical  means  by  which  such  principles  could  moat 
satisfactorily  be  applied.  There  is  no  doubt  much  within  the  power  of 
the  several  Colleges  themselves.  We  believe,  however,  that  no  complete 
eorrectioD  of  the  evils  we  have  pointed  out  can  be  effected  unlets  under 
the  authority  of  the  Legislatare.  How  this  is  to  be  applied  is  a  matter 
for  grave  consideration.  The  revision  of  Statutes,  the  examination  of 
aub'foundations,  the  incorporation  of  Bye-Fellows,  the  adjustment  of  the 
olaima  of  Schools,  the  determination  of  the  relative  numbers  of  Fellows 
and  Soholars,  and  many  other  points  which  we  have  noticed,  involve  a 
mnlliplicity  of  details  which  demand  the  greatest  oare,  diligence,  and 
prudence  for    their   correct  aad   aatiflfSMtory  settlement.     If   Parliament 


I 


antertiifi  the  queation  of  th«  reform  of  ihe  University  and  tis 
,  it  seems  to  as  tUikt  it  would  be  couvenieDt  to  lay  down,  iu  an  Act 
of  the  LetgiftUiurt\  the  principles  upon  which  such  refoniis  ahould  be  con- 
dacled»  and  to  entrust  a  Boatd  with  temporary  powerB  necessary  for  carrying 
tham  into  effect.  By  this  means  it  would  he  possible  to  consider  oare- 
Cttlly  the  varioas  individual  and  oorporate  interests  which  would  be  affected » 
and  to  oonsolt  the  feelings  and  wishes  of  those  whose  active  and  williug 
e<M>peration  is  neces^ry  for  the  snoceasfol  aocompllshment  of  uny  ineaHuru 
of  obange,  however  urgently  demanded,  and  however  well  matured.  The 
feralte  of  the  delibei-atiou  of  suoh  a  Board  as  we  have  ventured  to  suggest, 
arrived  at  after  due  consultation  with  (he  various  parties  interested,  might 
properly  be  referred  lo  Tour  Majesty  in  Coancil  for  final  sanction. 

We  need  soaroely  add  that  in  any  proposed  changes  we  oontemjilato  a 
dne  ragard  bang  paid  to  vested  interests,     (pp.  1911,  200.) 

The  Beporfc  concludoe  with  the  following  retnarks : 

The  nature  of  otir  task,  which  we  have  now  brought  to  a  oloae,  has 
OEtavoidably  led  us  to  dwell  upon  points*  where  from  the  progrese  of  that 
*'great  innovator"  Time,  and  iLe  operation  of  social  causes  little  within 
ber  ooatrol^  the  University  has  been  left  out  of  her  true  position  and 
baoooija  imperfeotly  adapted  to  the  present  wants  of  the  country,  so  as 
lo  stand  in  need  of  external  help  to  bnug  about  some  uHeiul  retWme 
and  wholesome  modifioations  of  her  inatitutionn.  We  have  discharged  the 
duty  imposed  upon  as  aocordlng  lo  the  best  of  our  ability,  with  eajniest- 
neas  and  good  will,  with  a  loyal  fidelity  to  the  commands  of  Your  Majesty, 
and  with  vtfneration  and  love  for  that  University  to  which  we  belong. 
Had  we  undertaken  our  laborious  duty  in  any  other  spirit,  we  should 
have  ill  interpreted  the  intentions  of  the  Boyal  Commission  by  which  we 
have  been  guided  in  our  inquiries  :  for  we  have  a  heartfelt  assurance  of 
Tour  Majesty *a  good  will  towards  those  venerable  institutions,  whidi  in 
times  past  have  had  a  great  aud  good  effect  upou  the  moral  aud  inteileotual 
ohaneter  of  Englishmen «  aud  which  owed  their  corporate  life  and  oon< 
tiniiBd  power  to  the  wisdom  and  manificenoe  of  Yom-  Majesty's  Boyal 


Before  we  conclude  this  Report,  it  is  with  unfeigned  pleasure  thnt 
we  attempt  another  task ;  that  we  endeavour  in  a  few  words  to  indicate 
the  points  wherein  the  University  has  in  modem  times  shown  in  the 
splril  of  her  administration  her  wUlingnees  to  enlarge  the  cycle  of  her 
Slildiee,  and  to  modify  her  institutions  so  far  as  the  rigid  severity  of  her 
biws  |)ermitted.  We  have  abundant  proofs  supplied  by  our  Evidence 
thai  the  University  has  been  liberal  iu  the  general  administration  of  her 
funds,  not  hoabaading  them  parsimonioualy,  but  bestowing  tham^  to  the 
tvry  limits  of  her  power ,  upon  objeote  of  great  academical  importance. 
Nor  should  we  fail  to  notice  the  vote  of  a  Gomniittee  to  revise  tlie  Statutes 
of  the  Univeraity  with  a  view  to  petitioning  Your  Majesty  for  Your  Koyal 
lo  an  amended  Code  of  UoiverBity  Laws.    This  Oommittee  was 


92 


VltTORd 


voted  liy  the  SenAte  nome  time  before  the  issue  of  a  Eoyal  Conimissidit 
had  been  by  any  one  ajiticipate<i  That  the  Univereity  was  ready  to 
enlarge  its  cycle  of  Studies  U  proved  by  its  infltituting  new  Triposes  of  the 
Moral  nnd  Natural  SoieDoes ;  and  thus  affording  to  most  of  the  Professors 
an  extended  field  of  nsefulDesB.  A  like  spirit  ha^  been  shown  by  the 
Colleges,  which  Id  aeveral  insianoes  have,  at  a  great  oost  and  no  small 
saorifioe  of  personal  interests,  enlarged  their  buildingB,  and  in  all  oaaes 
shown  themselves  careful  guardians  of  theii*  corporate  property,  by  foregoing 
a  part  of  the  income  of  tlie  existing  body  with  a  view  to  the  prospective 
benefit  of  the  Society.  Many  of  the  Colleges  also  have  sought  wholesome 
modifications  of  their  Btatutee,  givt?n  up  valueless  or  injurious  privileges 
and  gone  to  the  full  extent  of  their  powers  in  obtaining  the  removal  oC 
restrictions  which  prejudicially  limited  the  free  election  to  their  Fellowships 
and  Scholarships.  All  these  were  spontaneous  acts,  and  in  the  right 
direction.  We  regard  them  as  the  marks  of  a  wise  and  honourable  spirit* 
and  they  have  been  in  good  part  suggestive  to  oarselves  of  the  refoixna  we 
have  ventured  to  recommend. 

Following  rather  than  originating  this  opening  sooroe  of  ameliomtioni 
while  fettered  by  no  restriction£,  such  as  have  necessarily  imposed  a  limit 
on  internal  reforms,  we  have,  in  the  foregoing  Eijport  recommended  a 
series  of  measures,  in  perfect  harmony,  as  we  conceive,  with  the  epirit 
which  has  prompted  these  beginnings,  though  in  some  respocte  going  lar 
b^ond  them.  We  have  proposed  the  restoration  in  its  integrity  of  the 
ancient  supervision  of  the  University  over  the  Studies  of  its  Members,  by 
the  enlargement  of  its  Professorial  system— by  the  addition  of  such  supple- 
mentary appliances  to  that  system  as  may  obviate  the  undue  encroachmeuts 
of  that  of  private  tuition — by  opening  avenues  for  acquiring  Aoademioal 
Honours  in  many  new  and  distinct  branches  of  knowledge  and  profesfiional 
pnrsait— by  leaving  to  more  aspiring  Students  ample  opportunity  to  devote 
themselvee  to  those  lines  of  acquirement  in  which  natural  bias  has  given 
them  capacity,  or  in  which  the  force  of  circumstances  has  rendered  it 
mgent  upon  them  to  obtain  pre-eminence ;  while  yet  not  denying  to  the 
leet  highly  gifted  the  social  advantage  of  an  Univeraity  Degree.  Bttll 
following  the  same  lead,  though  here  no  doubt  passing  beyond  the  im- 
mediate limits  marked  out  by  internal  reformations,  we  Imve  recommended 
the  removal  of  all  restrictions  upon  election  to  Fellowships  and  SchoUr- 
ships,  and  we  have  pointed  out  the  means  by  which,  without  any  real 
injury  to  the  claims  of  particular  schools,  all  Fellowships  and  Schohirshipe 
may  be  placed  on  such  a  footing  as  to  be  brought  universally  under  the 
one  good  rule  of  unfettered  and  open  competition.  In  a  like  spirit  we 
have  regarded  the  existing  distribution  of  Collegiate  emoluments.  We 
reoognise  the  prevailing  practice  by  which  Fellowships  arc  looked  upon 
as  just  rewards  of  eminent  merit,  and  as  helps  and  encouragements  to 
the  furihei-  prosecution  of  study  or  geuer&l  advancement  in  life.  But, 
at  the  same  time,  bearing  in  mind  that  the  Fellows  of  Colleges  were  by 
the  original  couatitutiou  of  the  University  in  the  position  of  Teachert, 
and  have  laborious  duties  assigned  to  them  arising  ont  of  the  old  scheme

of  Academical  instnictioii,  while  in  modern  times  the  Fellowships  are 
fteqaenilj  held  by  Non-reeidenrs*  anij  rarely  contribute  in  any  dirc?ct  way 
to  the  course  of  Academical  infltruction,  thotigh  their  emoluments  far  exceed 
their  onginal  value  ;  we  have  thoagbt,  that  in  consideration  of  thia  praotioal 
Qiemption  from  the  performance  of  such  edaoational  datieB,  it  in  no  more 
th&o  reasonable  and  equitable  in  return,  that  an  adequate  contribution 
should  be  made  from  the  Corporate  Funds  of  the  fteveral  Colleges  toward* 
rendermg  the  courae  of  Public  Teaching,  as  carried  on  by  the  University 
itadf,  more  efficient  and  complete. 

In  proposing  reforms,  we  do  not  wish  to  dissociate  the  present  from  the 
puit;  neither  do  we  recommend  changes  except  for  the  purptise  of  removing 
positive  evile.  There  are  minute  details,— forms,  and  ceremonies^— distinc- 
tions  of  dress  and  rank— and  other  observances— which  might  be  retained, 
because  they  are  historical ;  or  if  changed  at  all,  it  should  be  by  internal* 
rather  than  e:xtemal  legislation. 

The  teaching  of  the  University  should  be  the  exponent  of  what  is  highest 
and  best  in  the  condition  of  Literature  and  Science  j  and  should  be  in  pai-t 
also  the  help  and  guide  to  her  sons  in  their  aspirations  after  moral  and 
intellectual  excellenoe*  Whore  she  hai;  failed  in  this,  it  has  been  partly,  we 
think*  from  the  want  of  that  legislative  freedom  which  we  would  wish  to 
give  to  her. 

The  long^continued  influence  of  literary  and  philosophical  examples  upon 
the  sentiments  and  conduct  of  societies  is  perhaps  in  no  place  better  illus- 
trated than  in  Cambridge.  The  works  of  Baoon  and  Newton  are,  at  this 
moment,  influencing  its  Studicf^  for  good.  The  prevalence  of  the  Newtonian 
pbilofiophy  may  have  given  a  severity  to  a  prominent  part  of  its  course 
which  made  it  well  fitted  for  the  benefit  of  the  few,  but  in  some  respects 
iU-fittod  for  the  benefit  of  tlie  many.  Our  recommendations,  if  acted  on, 
wonld,  we  think,  remove  this  objection,  yet  keep  entire  that  high  and 
hononmble  distinction  given  in  Cambridge  to  the  sciences  which  are  of  all 
others  most  exact  and  severe. 

One  happy  cironmstance  in  the  position  of  the  University  is  deserving  of 
ipedal  oomment  A  great  majority  of  the  College  Fellowships  have  long 
been  open  to  free  competition  ;  this  has  given  to  the  UDiversity  a  high  moral 
Elevation,  and  contributed  in  a  great  degree  to  make  her  the  honoured 
bstmment  of  public  good.  The  same  condition  marks  the  distribution  of 
many  valued  University  Prices.  It  is,  we  think,  this  fact  which  has  called 
forth  a  high  sentiment  of  honour  and  an  unbending  sense  of  public  duty  on 
the  pari  of  the  governing  powers  and  examiners,  wheth«  r  of  the  Colleges  or 
of  the  University.  Thai  the  rewards  of  competition  be  ^veu  to  the  most 
worthy  is  a  principle  now  so  deeply  penetrating  the  moral  life  ol  Cambridge, 
that  its  violation  seems  almost  beyond  the  region  of  thought. 

What  above  all  other  things  gives  us  hope  for  the  future  good  of 
Cambridge,  is  Uie  manly,  free,  and  truthloving  character  of  her  tons, 
springing  in  part,  at  least,  from  her  Collegiate  system,  the  character  of 
her  studieii,  and  the  oprighlness  of  her  administration,  producing  in  return 
» and  good  wili  on  the  part  of  those  committed  to  her  care.     In  all

her  members  ahe  believes  that  she  possesses  a  body  of  men  who,  strong  in 
their  historical  remembrances,  cling  to  what  is  truly  good,  would  seek  for  no 
needless  change,  and  would  admit  of  no  change  which  had  not  the  fair 
promise  of  scientific,  moral,  and  religious  benefit. 

With  such  expressions  we  conclude  this  Beport,  grateful  to  Your  Majesty 
for  Tour  watchful  regard  to  the  lasting  honour  of  the  University,  and 
anxious  on  our  own  part  that  what  we  have  recommended  may  be  among 
the  means  of  contributing  to  that  end.    (pp.  201,  202,  208.)

2.  Thiit  thb  Coancil  cannot,  however,  but  regard  with  some  appro-

opinioo  also  preTailed  of  the  existence  of  aoeh  praelieei  in  deettooa  anterior 
to  that  period.  Two  actiooB  also  were  hrooght,  and  penaltiea  reeof«red,  for 
direct  bribery  committed  in  183$,  one  of  which  in  resped  of  bribery  on 
behalf  of  James  Lewis  Knight,  Ea^oiie  (now  Lord  Jnstiee  Knight  Bmoe),  la 
reported  in  3  Adolphus  A  Ellis,  p.  51. 

With  the  view  of  throwing  light  opon  sabseqnent  prooeedingB^  we  made 
some  few  general  inqairies  aa  to  the  nature  and  oonstitution  of  the  borough 
preriooa  to  the  paMuig  of  the  Beform  BiU.  It  appeared  thai  Ihe  eon- 
atitueucy  then  connsted  wholly  of  freemen,  about  160  in  number,  about 
one-half  resident  in  Cambridge  or  within  seven  mUee,  the  other  haU  non- 
refiident.  The  f^reedom  was  elective  by  the  existing  freemen,  or  traoamiaaive 
fay  birth  or  apprenticeship.  The  boioogh  contains  fourteen  pariahefl,  and 
consista  of  Cambridge  proper  and  a  district  called  Barnwell.  No  manofaa- 
tiires  are  carried  on  therein. 

About  the  vetur  1785,  Mr.  Mortlock,  a  banker  of  the  town,  who  had 
acquired  snoh  influence  with  the  then  constituency  as  to  poeaeaa  aheotutely 
the  power  of  returning  members,  is  said  to  have  disposed  of  his  inflnenee 
for  a  large  sum  of  money  to  the  late  Dnke  of  Rutland,  the  owner  of  a 
seat  called  Cbeveley,  and  other  property  near  Cambridge.  On  his  death 
the  power  of  returning  members  for  the  borough  passed,  together  wUh 
the  title,  to  the  present  Duke.  That  power  was  continued  by  the  eleotioa 
of  freemen  who  held  the  aame  political  sentiments  as  the  Duke,  and  were 
in  many  instances  his  persona.!  friends,  tenant^,  and  retainer*;  and  also 
bj  bestowing  patronage,  both  Government  aud  personal,  among  some  few 
of  the  constituency.  Occasional  entertainments  were  likewise  given  to 
the  whole  body  of  the  freemen  and  some  of  their  Mends.  The  electaons 
themselves  were  conduoted  in  a  quiet  inexp^isive  manner,  almost  re- 
sembling a  domestic  transaction.  And  Mr.  Pryme,  who  on  one  oeoasion 
was  bin] self  a  candidate  in  a  contested  election,  assured  us  that  there  was 
not  expended  on  his  behalf  one  farthing.  By  the  passing  of  the  Beform 
Bill  the  Buitand  influence  was  annihilated,  and  never  afterwards  reap^ 
peared.  Since  then  (the  practice  of  entering  into  indentures  of  apprentice- 
ship  scarcely  existing  in  Cambridge)  the  number  of  freemen  1ms  constantly 
decreased ;  and  at  the  last  election,  with  a  population  of  about  28,000,  the

constittieiM^  consisted  af  1,850  houBeholders,  28  hoTiBeliolders  and  freemen, 
uid  9  pure  freemen.  The  parlies  are  about  equally  divided  in  Liberab  and 
CottnerTativeB.  From  150  to  200  votera  njstemakically  abstain  from  voting, 
from  fear  of  prejudicing  their  intereBts  or  dinpleftBing  others.  Those  are 
priiusifMlIy  engaged  in  trade,  or  holding  aitnationH  In  csolleges.  Since  the 
Beform  Bill  sixteen  candidates  have  offered  themselves  for  the  borouf^h ;  oE 
these,  three  only  have  been  connected  with  Cambridge*  It  is  generally 
supposed  that  the  first  eleetion  was  free  from  any  corrupi  practices.  The 
DAV  iKmstituency  are  said  to  have  been  proud  and  pleased  with  their 
roeent  ac<iuiaition  of  the  franchise,  and  wholly  ignorant  of  any  means  of 
Qsing  it  for  the  purpose  of  procuring  pecuniary  advantages.  But  on  that 
ooeasion  a  system,  then  unconcealed  and  avowed^  of  treating  the  voters 
ptievailed  on  both  aides.  This  system,  varying  in  its  modes  of  acoom« 
pitshmeut,  and  of  late  more  covertly  done,  has  continued  up  to  the  present 
time.  We  had  brought  to  our  notice  many  iuRtanoeii  where  individutils,  on 
s  sort  of  RpecuJation,  without  express  authority,  threw  open  their  houses  for 
the  entertainment  of  voters.  The  expenses  thus  iocurred  were  generally 
defrayed  by  tlie  party,  cither  at  the  time,  or  previous  to  tho  ensuing  election* 
The  practiee  also  was  %'ery  early  commenced,  and  waa  continued  without 
interruption  until  the  last  election  inclusive,  of  permitting  voters,  after 
ig  promised  their  votes,  to  recommend  to  the  committee  conducting  the 
ion  fiersons  to  act  as  flag^bearers,  flag- protectors,  messengers^  watch- 
Ac,*  with  payments  of  5$.  and  IOjt,  a-day.  Those  payments  niudi 
exoeeded  the  remuneration  which  such  persons  could  obtain  in  their  ordinary 
employments.  Their  servioes  were  unnecessary,  and  in  most  cases  merely 
Qominat  The  amount  of  payments  to  such  persouB  bore  a  considerable 
proportion  to  the  expenBes  which  a  candidate  was  caltt^d  on  to  defray  for  his 
eteetion ;  and  such  expenses  were  incurred  purely  for  the  purpose  of  in- 
ftueneing  the  recommending  voter  m  favour  of  the  candidate.  Befreahment 
tickets,  varying  in  amount,  were  also  issued,  which  appear  to  have  been  in 
Iheii  nature  transfenble.  During  the  whole  period,  from  the  passing  of  the 
Beform  Bill  down  to  the  last  election  inclusive,  a  large  expense  has  con* 
Btantly  been  incurred  by  the  candidates  on  both  sides  in  matters  of  a 
daoorative  character,  snob  as  flags,  banners,  procesaiuns,  l*^c.  ;  in  the  con- 
vcymnoe  of  able-bodied  voters  from  one  part  of  the  borough  to  another ;  in 
bands  of  music ;  in  bellringing,  Ao,  The  sums  paid  for  these  things,  and 
to  the  men  recommended  by  voters,  constitute  about  one  half  of  the  whole 
of  the  elections,  aa  is  Illustrated  by  the  items  of  the  accounts  o! 
the  election  in  1852,  set  out  in  the  schedules  of  this  Eeport,  In  the  election 
of  ld53  a  proposal  was  made  by  the  committee  of  the  Liberal  candidates  to 
tbo  Gonservative  committee  to  dispense  with  the  expenses  of  this  nature  on 
both  sidM.  After  some  discussion  this  was  declined,  on  the  alleged  ground 
that  the  Liberal  committee  bad  no  power  to  prevent  others  of  their  party 
from  indulging  in  them. 

Ko  part  of  the  expenses  of  an  election  being  defrayed  from  any  borough 
or  pviblio  fnnd,  the  whole  of  them  fall  upon  tbe  candidates.  We  were  in- 
formed that  the  strictly  legal  expenses  of  an  election  would  not  necessarily

exceed  £200.  for  eaeh  QBiididate^  instead  of  nbout  £600,,  which  of  Itkio 
years  has  been  eaUmated  as  the  average.  We  give  this  on  the  information 
of  Mr  Cooper,  the  town-clerk,  and  other  witnesseB  familiar  with  eleotione, 
Mr  Pryme,  however,  informed  us  that  in  1B37,  when  he  liad  the  advantage 
of  gratuitous  professional  assistance,  aud  stipulated  to  pay  only  the  sttiotly 
legal  expenses,  his  election  cost  him  only  £100. 

In  that  year  the  candidates  were,  the  Right  Hononrable  Thomas  Spring 
Bice*  George  Pryme,  Esq.,  James  Lewis  Knight,  Esq.  (now  the  Lord 
Jtifitioe  Knight  Bru^),  and  the  Honourable  John  Henry  Thomas  Manners 
Sutton.  Besides  the  ordinary  praetioes  of  treating,  and  the  appointment 
of  flagmen ,  ^'C,  direct  money  bribery  was  stated  to  ub  as  having  been 
practised  by  the  ConRervative  party.  We  have,  however,  no  evidence 
of  those  practicea  in  detail,  owing,  probably,  to  the  fact  that  the  agients 
eniployed  on  that  occasion  were  strangers  brotight  in  expressly  for  thai 
purpose  from  London  and  other  distant  places.  It  was  found,  however^ 
to  be  more  convenient  and  advantageous  to  employ  constantly  a  local 
agent ;  und  a  person  named  Samuel  Long,  who  had  previously  acted 
merely  as  a  messenger  and  payer  of  tavern  bills,  being  discovered  to 
possess  in  an  eminent  degree  ibe  qualificationa  for  that  appointment,  he 
appears  to  have  acted,  firstly  in  1839,  and  ever  afterwards,  as  chief  briber 
of  the  p«rly«  He  generally  received  about  £50.  for  his  services  each 
eleotiofi,  baiidiia  various  pAyments  for  his  servicer  as  registration  agent. 
Audj  as  a  remuneration  for  the  imprisonment  whioh  followed  his  con- 
viction for  briliery  comiuitted  in  iHHiJ,  he  received,  after  some  delay, 
£200,  Upon  DO  one  oooasion,  as  he  Btated  to  us^  had  he  ever  any  com- 
miintcation  with  a  candidate. 

For  the  flr^t  four  contested  elections  after  the  passing  of  the  Reform 
Bill,  namely,  in  1832,  1834,  1936,  1837,  Liberal  candidates  were  returned. 
This  state  of  things,  however,  was  not  destined  very  long  to  oontimi& 
Permanent  bodies,  mider  the  name  of  registration  committees,  were  veiy 
early  formed  on  either  side,  for  the  purpose  of  superintending  the  pro- 
oeedings  of  the  registration  courts,  and  of  forwarding  the  electioneeriog 
intareats  of  their  respective  parties.  The  expenses  of  each  party  relatite 
to  registration  are  between  £50.  and  £100,  a-year,  which  are  da&ayed 
1^  leading  members  of  the  constituency,  aided  by  the  sitting  members. 

We  examined  at  some  length  a  person  named  Scott,  who,  as  early 
as  the  year  18H8,  was  employed  aa  a  paid  agent  of  the  Conservative  party 
at  a  fixed  weekly  salary,  acting  under  the  inNtruotions  of  Mr  Oeoige 
Fisher,  VViillam  Swann,  Michael  Headley,  and  Samuel  Long.  He  d^ 
scribed  to  as  minutoly  the  nature  of  his  oooupation  in  that  oai>uclty.  Hjs 
practice  was,  to  procure  a  list  from  the  register,  of  all  persons  that  he 
tliought  might  be  accessible  to  pecuniary  influence.  Having  carefully  in* 
formed  himself  of  the  character,  occupation,  habitsi,  ciroumsianees,  political 
opinion,  and  c<jnnexions  of  ea^h  indiviclual,  he  then  contrived  to  m&ke 
his  acHittaintance,  and  watched  his  opportunity  for  insinuating  to  him  the 
expedienijy  of  turning  his  vote  to  some  advantage.  He  described  his  first 
step  as  being  uniformly  to  point  out  to  the  voter  that  it  could  be  of  no  i

laagible  oonaequence  to  himeelf  pereooally,  which  of  the  candidatca  ahonJd 
be  returned.  11  he  sQccecded  in  convincing  him  it  was  of  no  importance 
to  him  which  wej  he  voted,  he  found  thiit,  to  uso  his  own  oxpression, 
hilf  his  work  was  done ;  becanae  it  wiwi  ohvioua  that  where  both  sidea 
wme  indifferent,  where  it  waa  immateriiil  to  him  which  candidiite  wau 
mtnmed,  he  woald  prefer  having  £10.  for  voting  on  one  side  rather  than 
nothing  for  voting  nn  the  others  eepeciailj  if  he  happened  to  be  stmitoned 
or  erobarrasfled  in  hia  oircairiBtanceB. 

All  this  was  confinnod  by  eome  of  the  bribed  votera  examined  by  us, 
who  at&ied  that  they  had  no  political  opinions  at  all,  they  were  no  Bcholars, 
they  hardly  knew  which  was  which,  but  voted  a4:cording  as  they  were 
dtreotod  by  the  person  to  whom  they  aold  their  votes  ;  that  £10.  was 
of  more  service  to  them  than  the  members  were,  and  therefore  that  tliey 
always  noId  their  votes  if  tliey  had  a  chance.  Many,  it  was  stated  to  ns 
by  the  principal  bribing  agent,  would  not  take  the  trouble  to  vote  at  all 
onleM  paid  for  their  votes. 

Out  of  111  voters  bribed  at  the  election  in  1852,  who  received  their 
Qxpensea  after  examination  before  as,  upwards  of  30  signed  their  receipts 
with  a  mark  from  inability  to  write. 

Having  ascertained  that  a  voter  might  safely  be  applied  to  as  being 
bribeable,  Scott  reported  hia  name  to  Swann,  or  Long,  or  some  other 
snperior^  and  left  him  to  be  operated  npon  when  required.  One  part 
of  the  ajstem  was  to  asoertain  what  rates  were  in  arrear,  and  to  pay  off 
those  of  the  voters  suppoaed  to  be  favonrable  to  the  party.  After  a  voter 
had  onoe  received  a  bribe,  the  proceedings  became  very  much  sinipliEed. 
It  was  obviona  that  no  delicacy  was  neceaaary  in  applying  to  him  on 
Iktinre  ocoadons.  A  voter  once  bribed  might  be  calculated  upon  as 
bribeable  ever  after;  and  the  bribed  voter  himsetf  became  also  an  agent 
iof  the  procuring  of  other  bribed  voters  among  hia  friends  and  conuexions. 
Cofsfideooe,  moreover,  was  established,  a  natural  conaequence  of  the 
acmpulous  fidelity  with  which  Long  on  all  occasions  fulfilled  the  pro- 
mises  he  had  either  directly  made,  or  caused  to  be  implied.  A  con- 
ventionai  language  wbjb  established,  in  which  communieations  passed 
bvtween  himself  and  the  voters.  It  was  the  practice  of  Long  to  tell  a 
ytotex  to  **  ffo  and  do  what  wot  right^**  and  ho  would  '^  do  what  wait  right /^ 
or  merely  to  pronounce  the  words  **  all  right,"  or  simply  to  inquire  which 
way  a  voter  meant  to  vote ;  by  which  an  intimation  was  Bufl3ciently  con- 
veyed that  he  would  be  paid  for  his  vote. 

This  oonfidenoe  and  understanding  at  last  attained  puoh  perfection  that 
Long  was  able  to  send  voters  to  the  poll  by  merely  looking  at  them  with 
a  peeaHar  expreasion  of  ooautenance,  or  without  even  seeing  them,  by 
mareljf  leaving  a  message  with  the  wife  that  Long  had  called.  The 
{xmeooe  of  other  persona,  even  though  they  were  intelligent  partisans 
on  the  opposite  side,  or  appointeii  expressly  to  watch  him,  in  nowise 
txilolsred  with  his  operations.  At  the  ©lection  of  1843,  Long  actually 
WM  aocompanied  from  nine  to  three  o'clock  on  the  polling  day,  during 
his  progress  among  the  voters^  by  a  man  named  Tempanyf  in  order  to

800;  but  ihis,  in  Oarabridge,  where  the  parties  are  nearly  in  a  state  of 
equipoise,  of  oontw  enabled  the  party  possessed  of  the  bribed  votes  to 
gain  the  election ;  and  the  opinion,  accordingly,  seema  to  have  prevailed 
among  all  well-informed  per^ionB,  that  it  would  always  have  been  in  the 
power  of  Long  (o  secure  the  return  of  those  candidates  in  whose  behalf 
he  might  have  been  retained.  This  opinion  Long  himself  also  stated  with 
wetj  greai  confidence. 

We  arrived  at  the  conclusion  that  the  main  body  of  the  constituency 
were  themselves  not  only  innocent^  but  also  ignorant^  of  bribery,  except  by 
general  report ;  and  that  they  reprobated  and  deplored  its  eidstence.  We 
loand,  aJso,  that  those  gentlemen  examined  beiore  us  who  had  represented 
the  borough,  or  been  candidates,  not  only  most  distinctly  and  solemnly 
diasTOwed  all  knowledge  of  the  applicatiou  of  their  money  fur  the  pur- 
poses of  direct  bribery,  but  had  also,  in  muBi  instanceH,  strictly  enjoined 
thetr  frit^nds  to  abstain  ^om  illegal  practices,  and  required  on  account, 
iccompanied  by  vouchers,  of  all  their  expenditure.  From  this,  however, 
Sir  Alexander  Grant  was  an  exo^ption ;  as  he  candidly  confessed  that, 
&om  bis  knowledge,  acquired  during  his  Fepresentation  of  several  other 
bofonghs,  and  from  hia  observations  at  Cambridge,  he  thought  it  safest 
to  know  oothing  about  the  application  of  the  money  which  he  contributed  ; 
and  he  therefore  gave  no  instructions  as  to  its  destination,  nor  inquired 
bow  it  had  been  employed.  It  ought,  in  justice  to  those  gentlemen,  to 
be  stated,  that  they  not  only  denied  having  made  contributions  of 
money  for  improper  purposes  after  their  election s,  but  they  also  very 
frankly  and  emphatically  disavowed  any  liabilities,  or  ondertakings  to 
make  themselves  liable  to  contributions  of  any  kind  hereafter.  In  all 
caws,  therefore,  where  those  gentlemen  were  examined,  we  have  no 
other  altcmativo  than  to  assume  that  the  money  cxpeuded  in  bribery 
was  furnished  without  their  knowledge  by  other  parties,  though  in  the 
of  the  earlier  elections  we  were  unable  to  trace  it  to  its  original 
Unfortunately,  we  had  not  always  the  satiBfactton  of  examining 
them,  death  and  illness  in  some  oases  precluding  us.  The  Lord  Justice 
Knight  Bruce  declined  to  attend,  on  the  ground  of  great  personal  incon- 
vmienoe;  bat  we  had  the  advantage  of  being  favoured  with  his  opinion, 
that  his  esaminaiion  would  have  been  **  wholly  superfluous  and  nseleas." 
Lord  Monteagle  also  informed  us  that,  under  eiieting  circitinstauces,  it 
was  wholly  impracticable  for  him  to  absent  himself  from  attendance  on 
the  duties  of  his  office.  In  the  course  of  our  enquiries  it  was  stated 
before  us,  that  in  naany  instances  where  money  was  paid  in  bribery,  the 
irot«  would  be  giveii  in  the  same  way  without  the  payment  of  money. 
This  appeared  on  the  positive  statement  of  the  voters  themselves,  and 
was  also  oon&rnied  by  the  obvious  interest  in  the  parties  employed  to 
distribute  the  money,  that  the  dietributloi]  should  be  as  large  as  possible^ 
for  tlie  purpose  of  increasing  both  their  own  influence  aod  their  own 
profit.  In  endeavouring  to  trace  the  course  of  money  employed  in  bribery 
ihiOQgb  Che  parties  engaged  in  its  distribution,  we  may  observe,  that  we 
tttf«iy  found  the  amount  alleged  to  be  intrusted  fully  accouuted  for.     This

will  be  oapedftlly  observed  by  oomp&ring  tbe  evidenci!  of  Long  and 
AuBtm  with  tliat  of  G.  W.  Naylor,  and  that  of  WilliBm  Taylor  with 
the  Dontrotliotions  which  it  rccciTcd  from  variouB  wiinesfles. 

We  thought  it  right  to  eiidi^avoui  to  ascertain  how  far  the  power 
to  adminiiiter  the  bribery  outh  has  operated  an  a  check  or  detectiou  of 
bribery.  We  found  that  since  the  passing  of  tho  Reform  Bill  two  actions 
have  been  brought  to  recoviJT  penalties  for  bribery,  in  each  of  which 
verdicts  wtjre  obtained  for  the  plaintififa  ;  and  two  proaecutionfl  for  bribery, 
in  which  couvictiona  were  obtained,  Imve  been  instituted.  It  appeared 
also,  that  daring  the  time  ^hen  we  have  cooclasive  proof  that  bribery 
was  constantly,  syetematically,  and  largely  practised,  the  bribery  oath 
waa  administered  on  between  twenty  and  thirty  oc^^aaiona  at  each  election ; 
and  that  only  one  person  refused  to  take  the  oath,  which  he  did  pnrely 
on  the  ground  of  religious  scruples.  He  was  nut  suspected  of  bribery, 
but  the  oath  was  tendered  in  the  expectation  thiit  his  peculiar  tenets  would 
cause  him  to  refuse  it.  On  no  occasion  have  any  information,  or  any 
tnateriftlB  for  a  prosecution  ^  been  procured  or  suggested  in  con  sequence 
of  t^^ndcring  the  OAih.  Ab  &  moanB  of  detection,  thereforep  it  would  «eem 
to  bo  quite  useless ;  persons  of  intelllgenoe  most  cognizant  of  dectiou 
proceedings,  have,  on  examination  before  as,  expressed  their  strong  opinion 
thftt  the  administration  of  the  oath  is  perfectly  futile  as  a  means  of  de- 
tecting briber}'.  They  state  their  practice  to  have  been  to  abstain  from 
tendering  it,  on  the  ground  that  the  only  result  in  coses  of  bribed  votes 
has  been  to  add  the  crime  of  perjury  to  that  of  bribery,  as  in  their  opinion 
the  moral  sense  would  not  at  all  operate  to  prevent  a  voter  guilty  of 
bribery  from  committing  perjury.  It  will  be  observed  that  a  bribed  voter 
has  every  temptation  to  take  the  oath;  if  he  refuses,  the  snspieion 
ftttaching  to  him  in  immediately  conHrtned,  whiles  if  he  ooosents,  that 
suspicion  possibly  may  be  removed;  and,  at  all  events,  his  deteetion  is 
at  least  as  difhcult  after  he  has  consented  as  before.  Moreover,  to  aooom- 
pllsh  a  conviction  for  perjury  the  whole  of  the  facta  and  some  othen 
must  be  proved  which  are  neceaeary  to  procure  a  conviction  for  bribery; 
with  this  addition,  that  m  the  perjury  proseoutioa  moat  of  the  facts  mu4t 
be  proved  by  two  witnesses;  whereas,  in  that  for  bribery,  one  witness 
alijne  would  be  sui^cient.  We  may  also  state,  that  at  all  events,  so  far 
as  relates  to  bribery,  and  virtually,  according  to  some  of  the  Hitneeses, 
so  far  as  relates  to  treating,  the  Act  of  1842,  for  the  more  effoetnal 
discovery  and  prevention  of  treating  and  bribery,  appears  to  have  pro* 
duced  no  result  whatever ;  the  parties  engaged  in  bribery  examined  beCoro 
us  having  never  observed  the  ehghtest  effect  from  it  at  i\ny  time. 

We  also  arrived  at  the  concIuBlon,  that  the  expenses  attendant  upou 
legal  proceedings,  whether  by  action  or  by  prosecution,  against  per- 
sons guilty  of  bribery,  operate  practically  to  prevent  such  proceedings 
from  being  undertaken*  In  both  oases  these  expenses  must,  under 
ordinary  circumstances,  be  incurred  by  individuals ;  the  State,  nnloas 
a  prosecution  is  ordered  by  the  House  of  Commons,  bearing  no  part  of 
the  expenses.    In  each  of   the  two  actions  it  was  calculated   that  thu

m  ftiDOQnied  to  abnnt  £150.  on  iho  part  of  the  plaintiff  ooly; 
and  the  defendants  in  both,  bdng  perBons,  as  generally  will  be  tbe  cas€, 
withoot  property,  tbe  whole  of  those  exp4)ndefl  hod  to  be  boroo  by  the 
pitiniiQB.  In  one  of  the  prosecutionB  the  expenaea  amounted  to  upwards 
of  £400.  The  expense  of  the  other,  which  was  ordered  by  the  Honse 
of  Commons,  was  certainly  much  more ;  and  it  appears  to  ns  th^t  sneh 
an  amoant  of  expense  is  mach  beyond  what  nny  individual  would  willingly 
incnr,  whatever  might  be  the  extent  either  of  his  publio  virtue  or  his 
poh'tical  animomty. 

We  now  proceed  to  state  in  their  order  the  circumstances  of  the  elections 
Into  which  wo  have  inquired.  With  regsjrd  to  the  dections  previous 
to  1839,  although  treating  was  carried  on  to  a  great  extent  on  both  sides, 
and  bribery  was  genemlly  believed,  and  indeed  in  the  two  actions  before 
mentioned  was  proved,  to  have  been  praotiBcd,  in  most  iuHtancefl  by 
itrangem  brought  into  the  town  for  that  purpose,  we  could  not  obtain 
aiiy  evidence  in  detail  as  to  these  transactions. 

1839. 
In  1839  the  candidates  were — 

The  Hon.  John  Henry  T.  Manners  Sutton,  who  polled  717  votes, 
Thomas  Milner  Gibson,  Esq.,  who  polled*  .  617      „ 

Ntunber  of  electors  polled    ,  .  ,  .    1334 

Bir  John  Mllley  Doyle  came  forward  on  the  Hadical  interest,  but 
Coding  DO  chanoe  of  saooeas  was  induced  to  retire.  On  thii^  occasion 
B  Conservative  candidate  was,  for  the  finit  time  since  the  passing  of  llio 
Beform  Bill,  elected.  Long,  who  had  previously  been  employed  only 
M  a  messenger,  and  for  the  payment  ot  some  tavern  bills,  w^as  entrusted 
by  William  Swanu  with  money  for  the  purposea  of  bribery,  Swann 
bad  acted  on  the  committee  of  Mr  Satton,  hud  oanvasBcd  with  him  ; 
and  upon  a  petition  being  presented,  and  proof  givt'n  of  an  act  of  biibery 
by  Long,  Mr  Sutton  was  unseated.  Long  himself  received  a  sum  of 
money  for  the  purpose  of  being  distributed  in  bribery,  furnished  him  by 
8wann  and  Thomas  Mitchell,  landlord  of  the  Eagle  Inn,  who  received 
it  from  the  late  Mr  George  Fisher,  a  banker  of  Cambridge.  This  was 
stated  by  Swann  to  have  been  from  £200,  to  £300*,  but  by  Long  him- 
self not  to  have  exceeded  £l(kO.  A  man  named  Oharles  Clarke  was  also 
employed,  and  was  entrusted  with  about  £400.,  supplied,  as  he  believedi 
by  Mitchell ;  of  this  a  small  portion  was  devoted  to  paying  the  rates ; 
he  himself  bribed  directly  a  few  voters,  and  handed  over  about  £350.  to 
a  man  passing  ander  the  name  of  Quinton,  for  the  purpose  of  distribution 
in  bribery.  Qulnton  was  fetched  from  Norwich  by  Clarke,  and  remained 
in  Cambridge  one  day  only.  During  the  election  a  body  of  sixteen  voters 
wvrv  otfefed  to  Mr  H.  B.  Foster,  to  vote  for  the  Liberal  candidate,  at 
£5.  a-beady  being,  as  iUey  »aid,  half  the  price  they  Hhonld  require  from

bj  Lo£ig  to  the  profeasionai  agents  of  thu  petitioner,  for  the  avowed 
purpose  of  being  used  as  evidence  in  Uih  Uilialf ;  this  statemtmt,  however, 
wan  a  complete  tissue  of  falsehoods «  mingled  with  a  few  unimportaxit 
facts,  carefully  prepared  by  Long,  as  he  told  us,  for  the  mere  purpose 
of  delusion  and  myi^tification,  he  having  done  all  he  could  to  lead  the 
petitioners  astray  from  the  truth.  Upon  being  called  as  a  witness  before 
the  Stilect  Committee  of  the  House  of  Commons,  he  contradicted  all  the 
Btatenieuts  which  he  had  before  made.  He  was  afterwards  convicted  ol 
bribery  for  his  proceed]  ugs  at  that  eieotion*  It  appears  from  the  report 
of  the  prooeodings  of  the  Committee,  that  the  total  expenses  incurred 
at  thu  election  on  behalf  of  Mr  Manuei-a  Sutton,  including  the  chairing^ 
amounted  to  £1132.  IQ».  5d,  Mr  Gibson  informed  us,  that  his  expensea 
were  about  XOUO.,  and  that  ho  had  no  knowledge  of  any  illegal  ezpenditiuv. 


1840. 


In  1B40  a  single  election  occurred  in  consequence  of  Mr  Sutton  being 
unsoatL'd.    The  candidates  ou  tlmt  occasion  were —

he  contributed  the  sum  of  £500.,  and  some  other  sums  under  £100.  to 
clmritieB  In  lieu  of  being  chaired.  He  said  that  he  never  entered  his 
own  committee- room,  and  carefully  abstained  from  ac([uiriog  any  know* 
ledge  as  to  the  application  of  his  money,  being  of  opinion  that  the  seat 
of  no  member  for  a  borough  is  safe,  if  he  informs  himself  of  what  is 
going  on  at  his  own  election.  Clarke  and  Long  were  both  employed  is 
bribing  electors,  and  Clarke  absconded  in  consequence  of  a  transaction 
of  this  kind.  During  his  absence  he  received  from  £200.  to  £300.  trom 
the  Conservative  conunittee.  Long  distributed  between  £300.  aud  £400*

Mr  WagsUff,  an  ii^abitant  of  Cambridget  alBo  came  forward,  bat 
retired  on  the  pAjment  of  his  expenses.  On  this  oecasion  Mr  SaUon 
allowed  hi&  name  io  be  put  forward,  and  eaDTassed  the  borough,  with 
the  express  noderBtanding  that  he  ahould  not»  uor  did  he,  coQtribate 
tkuy  part  of  the  expense ;  nmther  wan  he  acquainted  wtth  the  appHoatioi] 
of  ii.  Sir  Alexander  oontribiited  £1000.,  and  observed  the  8ame  pre- 
oautloDti  for  remaining  in  ignorance  as  to  what  was  done  with  it  whioh 
he  had  adopted  in  1840.  Dr  Bartlctt,  howoveTf  who  took  an  active  part 
in  the  financial  department,  stated  that  the  open  and  avowed  expenses 
OA  the  GooaervatiTe  aide  amounted  to  between  £1300,  and  £1500.;  and 
Bir  Akxa&der  himeelf  felt  sure  thai  £2000.  would  not  cover  them. 
Money  appears  to  have  been  raised  from  local  sources  which  we  were 
not  able  to  detect.  Treating  was  carried  on  to  a  great  extent  at  this 
election,  and  Long  distribuied  between  £500.  and  £600.  in  direct  bribery, 
supplied  to  him  from  Swann,  He  appears  to  have  been  the  chief  bribing 
agent  employed  by  the  Conservative  side  at  that  election. 

Lord  Cosmo  Russell  was  not  examined  before  us,  on  account  of  ill 
health;  but  Mr  Foster  stated  that  he  paid  £500,  as  his  share  of  the 
ispsnaea,  and  that  a  like  amount  was  contribut<jd  by  Lord  Cosmo.  He 
•lao  0tifct0d  that  be  had  no  personal  knowledge  whatever  of  the  existence 
of  illegal  practices  on  either  side.  However,  shortly  previous  to  the 
election,  an  application  to  Mr  Coppock,  the  parliflmeatary  agent,  was 
made  by  Mr  Francis  Oonning,  now  deceased,  but  then  a  aolicitor  residing 
in  Cambridge,  and  an  active  partisan  on  the  Liberal  side,  Mr  Coppock 
me  iBiiuest<sd  to  send  down  some  person  to  assist  in  the  election  on  the 
part  of  the  Liberala.  He  stated  that»  wanting  pei'soug  to  assist  in  election 
mattera,  he  had  sent  for  some  from  Norwich,  the  natives  of  which  place 
are  celebrated  for  their  *'  ingeouity "  in  electioneering  matters. 

He  farther  said,  that  he  perfectly  understood,  as  any  one  conversant 
with  eteotions  would  do,  for  what  purpose  this  person  was  to  be  em> 
ployed.  He  aelected  a  man  named  Hart,  alias  Jones,  who  was  instruoted 
to  go  down  to  Cambridge,  and  to  do  whatever  he  waA  desiri'd  to  do 
when  there.  Hart  went  there,  and  Lad  two  meetings  with  iit^iBons 
unknown  to  him.  One  of  theeef  the  witness  Donkin,  ftirni.shed  him  with 
£100.  and  a  list  of  the  names  of  persons  who  were  to  bo  bnbe<l  with 
that  money,  Donkin  received  the  rooney  and  the  litjt  from  Mr  Gunning, 
and  had  no  farther  knowledge  respecting  them*  Hart  immediately  com- 
iiMiioed  opafiitions,  but  entirely  without  suocesa^  only  one  i>er»on  accepted 
a^y  moikey,  and  he  did  so  merely  for  the  purpose  of  having  Hart  appre- 
hended, which  was  done  on  the  third  day  after  his  arrival  in  Cambridge. 
Ha  waa  aobflequently  convicted  of  bribery,  and  sentenced  to  twelve 
numtfaa*  impriaonment.  Mr  Coppock  sent  down  an  attorney  and  fur- 
mahed  the  money  neoessary  for  his  defence,  and  afterwards  pre><M?nted 
him  with  £100,  This  money  was  supplied  by  Coppock  from  a  fond 
nnder  hia  oontrol,  raised  by  subscription  among  the  Liberal  party  for 
general  electioneering  pnrposes.  He  stated  that  previous  to  a  general 
election  a  large  anm  ia  always  raisedf  both  by  Liberals  and  Conservativea,

but  tbftt  he  provided  no  money  for  bribery  in  Camhridffe,  neither  wtd 
he  cognizant  of  the  sourcea  from  which  it  was  obtained^  but  he  believed 
them  to  be  local.  We  made  every  effort  to  inveBtigBte  the  oireimi- 
stiuiGes  of  ihifi,  the  only  iMst  of  direct  bnb<9y  proved  before  ii«  to  hww

several  ^>ersoiis  who  were  auf^eated  to  u^i  as  having  information  on 
subject^  but  they  all|  on  their  oath,  deoied  any  knowledi^e  of  it.  A 
witaess  (Sterne)  stated  that  Hart,  shortly  after  his  apprehension,  told 
him  that  he  had  been  fetched  to  Cambridge  by  Mr  Burcham,  the 
barriiiler,  who  was  then  resident  in  that  town,  and  who  took  an  active 
part  in  that  oleotton.  This,  howevorf  was  denied  altogether  by  Hart 
himaoir,  anrJ  in  alMo  at  variance  with  the  Htatement  of  Mr  Coppock. 
We  rtKiueHted  Mr  Burcham  to  attend  and  give  evidence  before  tifi,  be 
informed  ua  that  he  would  do  so ;  instead  of  his  appearance,  however, 
we  rect'ivod  a  ccrtificute  from  Mr  Wclbauk,  the  surgeon,  on  Saturdl^ 
the  6th  of  August,  that  bis  health  would  not  allow  him  to  travel: 
and  upon  our  making,  on  the  following  Thursday,  a  further  requisition 
of  hifl  attendance,  we  learned  that  he  hod  left  England  on  that  morning 
for  the  Gontiuent.  We  had  recotvod  no  notice  from  Mr  Burcham  of

or  from  what  he  had  learned  afterwards.  Freirioos  to  this  ele<!tion,  I«oiig 
had  been  employed  m  a  registration  agent,  and  also  lor  the  purpose  of 
bribing  Totei«  for  the  Conservative  party*  He  received  frum  Swaun  aud

engaged,  and  had  under  his  special  charge  the  district  called  New  Town, 
with  whieh  Long  was  not  to  interfere.  The  witness  John  Goldsmith

ftnd  £300^  This  money  was  also  distributed  in  bribeiy  at  the  rate  of  £10. 
^beadt  Long  had  by  this  time  established  bo  complete  a  confidence 
in  the  minds  of  the  voters  that  he  could  look  them  into  an  understanding 
of  what  was  to  happen,  or  could  intimate  to  a  voter  that  \m  would  receive  a 
bribe  by  merely  leaving  a  message  that  Long  had  called.  Treating  appears 
lo  have  existed  extensively  on  both  sides.  It  was  on  this  occasion  that 
Long  was  aooompanied  on  his  bribing  progress  by  Tempauy  in  the  manner 
before  stated.  A  petition  was  presented  to  avoid  Mr  Kelly*8  election  on  the 
^ound  of  bribery,  whieh  however  failed,  notwllhi^tanding  the  facts  which 
have  now  been  established  before  us. 

The  expenditure  on  the  Liberal  side  amounted  to  about  £600*

This  eleotion  appears  to  have  been  most  hotly  contested,  and  up  to 
a  very  late  period  in  the  polling  the  majority  was  in  favour  of  Mr  Adatr. 
Within  the  last  hour  a  majority  was  suddetily  obtained  for  the  other 
candidate,  and  Mr  Kelly  was  eventually  returned.  We  were  able  to 
asoertain  the  means  by  which  this  change  was  accomplished.  A  number 
of  voters  were  iseembled  at  a  public-bouae,  the  Star  and  Garter,  and

refnsed  to  vote  nnlees  money  WHS  pAid  down  to  them.  Some  time  elapaed 
before  any  thing  was  done.  At  Uflt  Long  was  dispatched  to  secure  their 
votes.  He  took  with  him  money,  and  ftn  aaststant  named  Steame ;  this 
imao  he  posted  in  a  room  where  wtis  n  window  with  part  of  a  pane  out,  and 
thfi  blind  down.  The  namefl  of  the  voters  were  called  one  by  one«  and 
the  assiatant  was  snppUed  with  a  sum  of  money  (£10  in  alt  intitanoes, 
save  one,  where  it  was  £12).  This  he  handed  ont  to  each  individuat  as 
he  come  forward.  The  hand  came  through  the  hole  in  the  window; 
no  other  part  of  the  person  was  seen.  Some  were  bribed  at  bo  late  an 
hour,  that  tliough  they  ran  all  the  way  they  did  not  arrive  in  time  to 
poll.  On  this  occasion  Long  spent  as  much  aa  £1000.,  fumiBheil  to  him 
by  the  late  Michael  lleadley^  the  late  William  Mitchell,  Swann,  and  Budd. 
He  Btated,  what  no  doubt  was  the  fact,  that  without  his  intervention  the 
election  would  have  been  lost.  We  called  Sir  Fitzroy's  attention  to  this 
audden  change  in  his  potiition  on  the  poll.  He  said  he  had  himitclf 
been  struck  by  it,  and  required  an  explanation;  and  that  the  aooount 
rendered  to  him  was,  that  a  number  of  voters  had  been  reloaaed  by  a 
body  of  undergraduates  from  Bome  place  in  Barnwell^  where  they  had  been 
confined.  He  stated,  that  he  took  the  same  precautions  as  before,  to 
prevent  any  illegal  practices,  and  disavowed  utterly,  as  in  relation  to 
the  election  of  ld43,  bis  own  partiolpation  in,  or  knowledge  of  them. 
He  Biated  his  own  impression  to  be,  that  his  expenditure  was  not  more 
than  £700  or  £800;  but  it  ai^pcura  from  the  evidence  of  Mr  Ficklin, 
conHrmLxl  by  the  vouchers  produced  by  him^  that  the  actual  expejiditore 
was  upwards  of  £10U0.  Sir  Fit^roy  also  Btated  that  the  late  Mr  Christopher 
Femberton^  a  geu tietnan  then  residing  near  Cambridge,  and  a  warm 
partisan  on  the  Conservulivo  side,  had,  after  the  election,  applied  to  him 
for  a  som  of  £b(00,  which  he  stated  had  befm  spent  in  his  election. 
Mr  Pcmberton  offered  no  aooount  a^  to  how  the  mooey  had  been  eipended, 
Sir  FilZToy  declined  to  pay  it,  and  neither  he  nor  anyone  on  his  behalf 
has  ever  contributed  any  part  of  it  whatever.  After  this  election  was  over, 
great  dissatisfaction  and  iintnediato  diinger  of  a  discovery  of  the  practices  on 
the  Conservative  side  existed,  in  oonfieqtieiiofi  of  some  bribed  voters 
not  having  tteen  paid.  The  jmynient  waa  ultimately  accompli^hiHi  by 
means  of  Long  advancing  upwards  of  £200.,  which  he  had  just  received 
as  a  remuDoration  for  hiti  imprisonment.  The  Liberal  expenditure  of  thia 
election  was  £10oO.

their  knowledge,  and  gave  strict  injunctions  to  abstain  from  all  other

eteetion*  however,  sucoess  having  been  aaoertained  to  be  hopeless,  little  or 
no  money  appears  to  have  been  advanced  for  the  pmrpoaa  of  bribery. 
We  ezftmiued  Mr  Adair,  and  several  gentlemen  of  his  committee  ;  tht^y 
negalived  the  exiateooe,  within  their  knowledge,  of  bribery  on  the  Liberal 
tide ;  where,  indeed,  there  could  have  been  no  temptation  to  employ  it,  their 
majority  having  been  very  large  and  very  secure.  The  vouchers  for  the

brother-in-law,  Mr  St  Qulntin,  a  gentleman  of  the  comity,  to  the  Con*

thai  his  election  would  cost  £600,  which  they  guaranteed  should  not  be 
exoeeded.  TMs  he  agreed  to  pay.  A  like  communiccition  wqa  made 
to  Mr  Macaulay,  to  which  he  also  assented.  This  Aum,  however,  was 
eventctally  found  to  be  insufficient,  and  each  of  the  candidates  contributed 
a  further  anm  of  £2(K),  making  in  ail  a  sum  of  £1600.  A  sum  of  £30

appear    to    have    1>een   ignorant   of   the  mode    io   which   it   wa»  applied. 
Nsjlor  himself  also   stated  that  ho   furnished   £60  in  addition  from  his 
own  renonroefi.     An  application  waa  also  made  for  money  by  Naylor  to 
Colonel   ForreBter  at  the  Carlton  Club,  but  he,   after  learning  who  were 
the  candidate,  refoned  to  advanee  any  on  their  behalf,     Mr  Ad&ir,  the 
previotiB    member,    and    Mr    Mowatt,    who   had    before    represented    the 
borongb  of  Falmouth,  came  forward  on   the  Liberal  aide.     It  appeared , 
on  the  canvass  of  Messrs*  Blaeaolay  and  Astell,    that  they  had  reason 
to   expect  a  majority.     At  this  time  Long  had  declined  to   act  in  his 
nsnal  capacity  for  the  Conservative  party,  In  consequence  of  the  anm  of 
npwardR    of    £200,  which,   as    before   stated,    be   had  advanced  in    1845, 
not  having  been  repaid.     A  man,  named  William  Taylor^  who  had  hitherto 
acted  in  a  subordinate  capacity,  appears  to  have  been   anxious,  and  to 
have  been  intended  by  the  party,  to  supersede  him.    Taylor  had  upon 
his    own   authority,   as  he   Htated,   early  commenced  the  distribution  of 
money  in  bribery,  partly  in  the  beginning,  from  his  own  resonroes;   by 
isduing    fictitious    I  0  U*s,    which    he    afterwards    destroyed ;    and   even- 
tually  from  money  supplied   to   him   by  Naylor.     A  few  days  before  the 
election   Austin,  a  man  who   had  on  other  occasions  been  employed  m 
bribery  transactions,  assured  Naylor  that  the  election  could  not  be  won 
unless  some  money  were  procured  to  be  used  in  bribery.    Ha  repeated 
the  applications,  till   at  lust  Naylor  commnnicated  them  to  Mr  Hazard, 
a  gentleman   engaged   in  business  in  Cambridge,  a  member  of  the  Con- 
servative committee,  and  a  very  zealous  partisan.    Naylor  pressed  Hatord 
to   furnish    him   with   some  money.    After  some  hesitation  he  supplied 
Naylor  with   the  sum  of  £250,  and  Bubseqnently,  upon  repeated  appli- 
cation, in  the  coarse  of  a  few  days,  with  various  other  sums,  amounting 
in  all  to  £1250.     Hazard  was  aware  that  thia  money  was  to  be  employed 
in  bribery :    he  received  no  acknowledgnicjit  for  it,  gave  no  directions, 
and  asked  no  questions,  as  to  its  application.     He  utterly  disavowed  any 
autliority  from  other  persona  to  advance  it,  which  he  said  waa  entirely 
furnished  from  his  own  resources.    He  stated  also  that  ho  had  uo  claim 
npon  any  one  for  any  portion  of  it,  nor  any  expectation  again  to  receive 
it.     After  a  very  careful  inquiry  we  found  no  reason  to  disbelieve  his 
statement ;  and  npon  an  inspection  of  his  hanker*a  book  it  appeared  that  he 
certainly  was  in  a  condition   to  furnish   such  a  sum   from  funds   ander 
his  own  control.    In  consequence  of  what  will  be  found  stated  hereafter, 
an  arrangement  having  been  made  with  Long,  he  immediately  commenced 
operations  vigorously,  in  hi»  usual  manner^  and  eventually,  on  the  night 
before  the  ©lection  day,  he  took  np  his  station  in  a  room  at  a  pubUo-booBe 
in  Barnwell,  the  Butcher's  Arms,  where  he  remained  during  the  election 
day,  giving  audience   to  voters,  who   waited   upon   him   for  the  purpose 
of  receiviug  an  assurance  that  they  would  bo  paid  money  for  tlieir  votes. 
No  money,  however,  was  paid  till  after  the  election,  when  he  distributed 
upwards  of  £800,  partly  by  personal  delivery  himself,  partly  by  measen^'ers, 
iK^th  male  and  female,  and  partly  through  the  Post-Ofllce.

Tbe  CftM  of  a  voter  named  J&mes  Allgood  perhaps  deecrves  to  be

lo  caoAG  bribes  to  be  aooepted.  This  man,  after  he  had  ee^'eral  times 
ref^sied  to  reoetTe  any  money,  was  nevertheless  placed  by  Taylor  on  a 
liilof  bribed  voters.  Having  seen  his  name  there,  he  inBiated  on  its 
being  seratohed  out,  and  then  accepted  £7  for  the  purpose,  as  he  said, 
of  preventing  Taylor  from  pocketing  the  money  himiiolf.  IIo  produced 
it  in  courts  and  requested  the  CommiaaionerB  to  take  charge  of  it.  ThiK 
bmg  declined,  he  then  desired  to  know  how  he  ought  to  dispose  of  it ;  an 
mtimaiion  was  made  that  he  might  very  filly  place  it  at  the  dispoBal  of  the 

■  minister  of  his  parish.     With  this  suggestion  he  oom plied,  and  the  £7  is 
now  devoted  to  the  restoration  of  St  Edward's  Church. 

We  examined  Mr  Macaulay  and  tha  members  of  the  comtitittee,  wlio 
aU  disavowed  their  own  participation  in,  or  knowledge  of,  any  illegal 
pmetioeeb  They  also  all  negatived  any  understanding,  either  express  or 
implied,  that  they  should  contribute  towards  the  repayment  of  the  money 
advanced  by  Mr  Hazard.  We  did  not  summon  Mr  Astell  to  give  evidence, 
inasmaeb  as  he  appeared  to  have  taken  a  less  active  part  than  his  colUi^a^ue, 
iad  hud,  moreover,  been  ezamintnl  before  the  Hpecial   Committee  of  the 

■  Bouse  of  Commons,  without  eliciting  anything  material 
We  also  examined  Messrs.   Adair  and  Mowutt,  and   tbe  members  of 
their  committee,  who  disclaimed  all  knowledge  of  the  application  of  money 
l9  the  purposes  of  bribery  on  their  behalf.     With  regard  to  Mr  Mowatt, 
i  ranxNir  appeared  to  have  very  generally  prevailed,  and  was  by  several 
^-   wikneiiaes  brouglit  expreesly  before  our  notice,  that  he  had  made  overtures 
^1  to  Long  to  act  on  his  behalf  for  the  purpose  of  bribing  the  constituency. 
^^  It  was  reported  that  Mr  MowaU  had  ofifered  him  "a  hatful  of  money;'' 
that  he  told  Long  he  did  not  care  what  it  would  cost  provided  he  would 
Ibwin   Ihe  eleciion.     We   thought  it  right  to    call  Mr  Muwatt's   attention 
^H|o  tbeae  statements,  which,  as  wo  anticipated,  he  negatived  mo^t  diiitinotly. 
^VlTpcm  the  examination  of  Long  in  the  presence  of  Mr  Mowatt,  the  origin 
^m  of  these  reporta  was  satisfaotorily  explained  by  Long  to  the  effect^  and 
^m  partly  to  the  words  following  :— 

^M  **l  never  knew  that  Mr  Mowatt  wanted  my  assistance,  but  I  have 
heard  a  great  many  ridiculous  tales  that  have  been  stated.  I  will  tell 
yon  in  a  very  few  words  what  did  occur,  and  what  all  these  tales  bave 
arisen  from.  I  have  reason  to  believe^  that  up  to  the  time  of  the  election, 
Uie  Conservative  party  were  trying  to  throw  me  over;  that  was  why 
they  sot  Taylor  to  work.  They  did  not  wish  to  employ  me,  because 
they  wanted  to  avoid  paying  me  the  money  that  they  owed  me,  and 
,  which  1  advanced  for  the  voters  after  Kelly^s  election,  Mr  Mowatt  really 
meet  me,  and  spoke  to  me.  I  lliink  Mr  Apthorpe  was  with  him. 
he  knew  who  I  was  or  not  I  do  not  know;  but  he  apoke  to 
me,  and  said,  *  flow  do  yon  do?  *  or  *  It  is  a  fine  afternoon/  or  something 
of  that  kind*  1  touched  my  hat  and  spoke  to  him  in  the  same  sort  of  way 
Iftd  imesod  on.     t  thought  that  this  was  a  very  favourable  opportunity  for

me,  and  therefore,  directly  afterwards*  perhaps  in  a  quarter  of  au  hour, 
I  eaw  Austin ;  I  said  to  him,  *  I  think  I  have  lost  a  famous  chance/  or 
wordf!  to  that  effect.  I  don't  remember  what  I  did  say,  bat  I  told  him 
I  had  just  seen  Mr  Mowatt,  and  he  bad  spoken  to  me.  Austin  wiiuted 
to  know  what  he  had  said ;  ho  was  very  anxious.  I  aaid,  •  Oh*  I  ahali 
not  tell  you  what  passed  between  na  ;  but  it  was  in  a  very  few  worda.* 
Now,  I  knew  that  I  need  not  tall  Austin  to  repeat  thia;  for  I  was  quite 
sure  that  be  wouldj  whatever  I  said  to  him,  and  so  he  did«  I  believe  he 
went  to  Mr  Charlea  Najlor  dircctlj,  and  almost  within  the  hour  he  eame 
back,  and  brought  me  £100,  and  a  positive  engagement  for  the  election* 
Mr  Mowatt,  I  am  sure,  will  recollect  meeting  me ;  he  will  speak  to  the 
occurrence  being  as  I  aaj,  and  I  hope  that  he  will  excuse  the  use  I  have 
made  of  it:" 

The  expenditure  on  the  Liberal  side  amounted  to  a  little  more  than 
£1200,  the  vouchtTS  for  which  were  produced. 

Wfl  now  humbly  eohmit  to  Your  Majesty  the  conclusiona  at  which  we 
have  arrived  touching  the  subject  uiatters  of  our  inquiry. 

We  find  that  at  the  election  of  1852  an  organized  system  of  direct  bribery 
on  an  eictensive  scale  was  carried  on  by  persona  employed  on  behalf  of  the 
ConBervative  party ;  and  that  the  election  of  Kenneth  Macaulay,  Esq.  and 
John  H.  AKtell,  Esq.,  was  procured  by  euch  bribery,  which,  however,  we  find 
was  eommiticd  without  their  knowledge  or  sanction. 

We  find  that  £1250  was  supplied  by  Mr  Henry  Hazard  out  of  his 
own  reflourcea  for  the  purjjose  of  being  employed,  and  was  employed,  in 
Ruch  bribery ;  and  that  a  further  sum  of  £2ii0,  furnished  by  C.  W.  Naylor 
(and  consisting  of  £200  raised  by  subscription  amongst  persona  who  were 
not  informed  of  ita  intended  application,  and  £50  supplied  by  Ot  W,  Naylor 
himseif),  was  applied  by  him  in  furth(?rance  of  the  same  system  of  bribery 
and  corrupt  practices.  These  fiums  were,  in  addition  to  the  sum  of  £14jOO 
contributed  by  Messrs  Macaulay  and  Astell^  for  the  general  purposes  of  the 
election. 

We  find  that  the  persons  whose  names  are  inserted  in  the  Schedule 
hereto  annexed  marked  (A)^^^  were  bribed  at  the  said  election  of  1852  by 
payment  of  the  sums  set  opposite  to  their  respective  names.

ay&teniatic  bribery  was  practised  on  helialf  of  Sir  A.  Grant,  but  without  his 
knowledge  or  sanotion,  and  that  his  election  was  procured  bj  auoh  bribery. 

We  find  thai  the  persons  whose  names  are  inserted  in  Schedule  (L)'^' 
received  bribes  at  the  election  In  1840* 

We  find  that  the  pereons  whose  names  are  inserted  in  Schedule  (M)^ 
gave  bribes  at  the  election  in  1840« 

We  find  that  at  the  election  of  1839  direct  and  systematic  bribery  was 
practised  on  behalf  of  the  Hon.  J.  H.  T.  Manners  Sutton,  but  without  his 
knowledge  or  sanction,  and  that  his  eiection  was  procured  by  such  bribery. 

We  find  that  the  persons  whose  uaraes  are  included  in  Schedule  <K)^ 
received  bribes  at  the  election  In  1B39. 

We  find  that  the  persona  whose  names  are  inserted  in  Schedule  (0)^^ 
gave  bribes  at  the  election  in  1839* 

We  find  that  at  both  the  contested  elections  whicli  ii>ok  place  in  1835  and 
1837,  direct  bribery  to  a  considerable  extent  was  practised  on  behalf  of  the 
Conservative  candidates,  but  we  were  unable  to  procure  satisfaetory  evidence 
in  detail  of  such  acts  of  bribery « 

We  find  that  at  all  elections  for  the  Borough  of  Cambridgei  to  which  onr 
inquiry  has  been  directed,  treating  has  extensively  prevailed  on  behalf  of  the 
candidates  of  both  political  partiea*  and  that  an  expenditure  has  been  ojienly 
and  avowedly  incurred  by  both  sides,  in  the  employment  of  fiag-bearerSf 
protectors,  messengers,  *feo.,  to  the  number  of  from  200  to  300,  at  an 
expense,  on  an  average,  of  £300.  for  each  party,  such  persona  being 
appointed  on  the  recommendation  of  voters,  and  their  duties  being  for  the 
most  part  merely  nominal. 

Finally,  we  report  to  Your  Majesty  that  bribery,  treating,  and  other 
corrupt  practices  have  for  a  long  period  systematically  prevailed  at  elections 
for  members  to  serve  in  Parliament  for  the  borough  of  Cambridge. 

We  subjoin  a  full  statement  of  the  evidence  taken  before  us,  which  we  beg 
leave  to  lay  before  Your  Majesty  as  part  of  our  Report. 

All  which  we  humbly  submit  to  Your  Majesty's  gracious  conBideration.

University. 

WarrxHALL,  Dec.  12,  1853. 
Sib, 

Her  Majefiiy's  government  have  had  before  them  the  Letter  ad- 
dressed by  my  predeoessor  on  the  4th  of  October,  1852^  to  tho  Chancellor  of 
Ibe  tJniverBity  of  Cambridge:— 

Your  Boyal  Highness  wUl^  without  doubt,  remember  that  her  Majesty 
wifcfl  pleased,  in  her  speech  from  tbe  Throne,  on  the  llth  of  November,  1B52, 
to  AcquAint  ParliamcEt  that  Bh«  had  caused  to  be  transmitted  to  the  Univer- 
oties  of  Oxford  and  Cambridge,  respectively,  copies  of  the  Reports  of  tho 
Cotumissioneri  of  Inquiry  upon  th€»se  Universities,  and  had  called  tbo 
atleation  of  those  UDiversities  to  those  Bepoiis  with  a  view  to  a  deliberate 
eumiikatioii  of  the  rooommendations  contained  therein. 

Aitatement  was  6ubaec|uently  made  to  the  HooBe  of  Commons,  that  the 
gorenmient  thought  it  detjimble  that  ample  time  should  be  allowed  for  a  full 
exftBunation  of  those  matters,  and  that  it  was  not  intended  that  any  legisla- 
Uon  OB  the  sabjeet  of  the  recommendations  of  the  Commiaaloaers  should  be 
proposed  to  Parliament  during  the  then  current  session. 

At  the  same  time,  though  it  was  not  deemed  expedient  to  discuss  the 
rariouB  details  connected  with  subjects  so  important  and  diversiied  as  the 
matten  in  question,  yet  reference  was  made  to  some  essential  points,  with 
tespect  to  which  her  Majesty's  government  conceived  that  it  would  be  the 
deaire  and  expectation  of  Parliament,  with  a  view  to  the  public  welfare  and 
to  the  extension  of  the  useful  influences  of  the  Universities,  that  plana  of 
improvement  should  be  entertained. 

These  points  were : — 

1.    An  alteration  of  the  eonstitution  of  the  Universities,  with  a  view  to 


lU 


VICTORIA. 


[185a 


the  more  general  aad  effective  repreS'Butatioii  of  the  fsover&l  lu&in.  elemonin 
which  properly  enter  into  their  composition. 

2.  The   adoption   of  meaaurea  which   might  enahle  the  Uni^ 
without  weakening  the  proper  seauritiea  for  discipline,  to  exUnd  the 
of  training  to  r  greater  number  of  students,  whether  in  connexion  or  n^ 
with  Colleges  and  Halls,  and  alio  to  diminish  the  relative  disadvantages 
which  now  attach  within  CoEeges  and  Halla  to  students  of  oomparati?ely 
limited  pecuniary  means. 

3.  The  estahhskmeDt  of  such  rules  with  regard  to  Fellowships,  and  to 
the  enjoyment  of  other  College  endowments,  aa  might  wholly  abollBh  or 
greatly  modify  the  rostrictione  which  now,  in  many  cases^  attach  to  those 
fellowBhips  nud  endowments^  and  might  subject  the  acquisition  of  such  fellow- 
ships and  enilowments  generally  to  the  effective  influence  of  competition. 

4.  Tlie  eatahliahment  of  such  regulations  with  regard  to  fellowships 
thus  to  he  acquired  hj  merit  as  should  prevent  them  from  degenerating  into 
Binecures,  and  especially  the  enactment  of  a  provision,  that  after  fellowships 
should  have  been  held  for  such  a  time  as  might  he  thought  reasonable  as 
rewards  for  early  exertion  and  distinction,  they  should  cither  be  relinquished, 
or  should  only  continue  to  be  held  on  condition  of  residence,  coupled  with  a 
discharge  of  active  duty  in  disoipline  or  tuition,  or  with  the  earnest  prosecu- 
tion of  private  study. 

5.  And,  lastly,  the  esiablishment  of  proviaionfl  under  which  CoUegci 
possessed  of  means  either  particularly  ample,  or  now  only  partially  applied 
to  the  purposes  of  education  or  learning,  might,  in  conformity  with  the  views 
which  founders  have  often  indicated,  render  some  portion  of  their  property 
available  for  the  general  purposes  of  the  University  beyond  as  well  as  within 
the  College  walls,  and  might  thus  faciUtate  the  energetic  prosecution  of  some 
branches  of  study,  the  importance  of  which  the  University  have  of  late 
distinctly  and  specially  acknowledged. 

It  is  obvious  that  for  the  attainment  of  these  ends  provision  must  be 
made  for  the  careful  adjustment  of  existing  statutes  and  for  the  abolition  or 
modiication  of  certain  oaths  which  are  now  periodically  administered  in 
some  of  the  Colleges. 

There  are  other  changes  tending  to  the  increased  efHoiency  and  extent  of 
study  which  would  naturally  accompany  or  follow  those  to  whicli  1  have 
adverted,  but  what  I  have  stated  may  be  enough  to  explain  the  general 
expectations  which  her  Majesty's  government  have  been  led  to  form  under 
the  influence  of  their  fiincere  desire  to  acknowledge  the  services  and  to  respect 
the  dignity  and  duo  independence  of  these  nohle  institutions,  and  to  see  their 
power  and  influence  enlarged  to  the  full  measure  of  the  capabilities  indicated 
by  their  splendid  endowments. 

Actuated  by  these  views,  her  Majesty's  government  did  not  hesitate  to 
determine  that,  so  far  as  depended  upon  them,  a  con^iiderabk  interval  of 
time  shoald  elapse,  after  the  reports  of  the  Commissioners  liad  appeared, 
before  any  specific  propoaitiona  should  he  discussed  as  to  the  degree  and 
nature  of  the  legislation  respecting  the  Universities  which  it  might  be 
requiaite  to  submit  to  Parliament.

Chancellor  of  the  University  of  Cambridge,  have  the  goodness  to  take  an 
early  opportunity  of  informing  tne  what  measures  of  improvement  that 
University  or»  so  far  as  your  Royal  Highnesses  knowledge  extends,  any  of 
its  Collegei  may  be  about  to  undertake,  and  what  aid  they  may  desire  from 
Parliament  in  the  form  either  of  prohibitions^  of  enabling  powers,  or  of  new 
enactments. 

Her  Majesty's  government  are  anxious  to  receive  tliis  information  in 
suob  time  as  may  enable  them  to  give  to  this  important  liubject  the  careful 
deliberation  it  demanda,  and  to  be  in  a  condition  to  advice  her  Majesty 
thereupon,  if  possible,  by  the  month  of  Fcibniary. 

Her  Majesty's  government,  however,  have  no  hesitation  in  avowing  their 
opinion,  that  repeated  and  minute  interference  by  ParUaoient  in  the  aHairs 
of  the  CTniversittea  and  their  Colleges,  would  be  an  evil,  and  they  are  desirous 
to  maintain  the  dignity  of  these  institutions  and  to  secure  for  them  the  ad- 
vaatagea  of  freedom  of  aotion.  For  these  reasons,  therefore,  ae  well  as  on 
other  grounds,  they  earnestly  hope  to  find,  on  the  part  of  these  bodies,  snch 
mature  views  and  such  enlarged  designs  of  improvement  as  may  satisfy  the 
reasonable  desires  of  the  oountry ;  and  by  obviating  the  occasion  for  further 
ioterferenoe,  may  relieve  those  persons  in  the  Universities  who  are  charged 
with  the  weighty  fanctions  of  discipUue  and  inatraction*  from  the  distraction 

(which  the  prospect  of  so  oh  interposition  mast  necessarily  entail.

Boyal  Highness,  eueh  remarks  however  being  previously  Bubmitted  to  the 
Senate  for  confirmation,  beg  leave  to  report  to  the  BeBftte  : 

That,  in  oonformity  with  the  tenuB  of  their  appointment,  they  have  taken 
into  oonsideration  those  points  in  the  Letter  of  Her  Majesty**  Seorotaiy  of 
8tate  ibr  the  Home  Department,  which  concern  the  University,  omitting 
those  which  specially  concern  the  Collegoa ;  and  that  after  careful  deliberation 
they  recommend  that  the  following  remarks  be  transmitted  in  the  name  of 
tli«  Senate  to  the  Chancellor : 


I, — Th«  Constitution  of  the  UNrvEHsiTv* 

The  Report  of  the  Commi^miiers  appointed  by  the  Queen  to  inquire  into 
the  Btate^  Discipline,  Studies,  and  Eevenucs  of  the  University  makes  frequent 
memtion  of  the  Syndicate  appointed  to  revise  the  Statutes  of  the  University. 
That  Syndicate  was  appointed  March  7, 1849,  more  than  twelve  months  before 
the  announcement  of  the  Boyal  Commiseion ;  special  preparation  for  the  work 
with  which  it  was  entrusted  having  btien  made  during  a  long  time  previous 
to  ite  appointment  by  the  careful  collection  and  arrangumoot  of  the  exiating 
iawa  and  oosioma  of  the  University.  The  Syndicate  proceeded  in  a  course 
of  long  and  frequent  sittings  not  only  to  revise  the  present  body  of  Statutes 
given  to  the  University  by  Queen  Elizabeth  in  the  twelfth  year  of  her  reign, 
bat  also  to  retiew  the  entire  series  of  antecedent  and  subsm^ueot  (iraces  of 
the  Senate,  Boyal  Letters,  and  Decrees  of  the  Heads  of  Colleges,  with  the 
object  of  preparing  a  new  code  of  Academical  Laws. 

Among  the  points  which  engaged  the  attention  of  the  Syndicate,  one  of 
the  moat  important  was  that  which  Her  Majesty's  Secretary  of  State  for  the 
Home  Department  mentions  as  the  first  of  those  with  respect  to  which  Her 
H^asty's  Government  conceive  that  plans  of  improvement  should  be  enter- 
tainad;  viz.  *'An  alteration  of  the  consititutiou  of  the  Universities  with  a 
liew  to  the  more  general  and  elective  representation  of  the  several  main 
eksmeiits  which  properly  enter  into  their  compofntion/' 

The  Constitution  which  is  now  in  force  by  the  Statutes  of  12th  Elizabeth, 
requires  that  every  Grace  or  proposition  for  the  administration  of  University 
affairs  should  be  approved  by  each  of  the  two  Houses  of  which  the  Senate  is 
^ompoaedi  but  that  previously  to  its  being  proposed  to  the  Houses  it  should 
bi  rabinttted  to  a  Council,  or  Capnt  Senatiis,  consistiLng  of  the  Chancellor  or 
Tioe-Chanoellor,  one  Doctor  in  each  of  the  three  faculties  of  Divinity,  Law, 
md  Physic,  one  master  of  Arts  of  the  Non-Regent  House,  i.e.  of  more  than 
five  years*  standing,  and  one  Master  of  Arts  of  the  Regent  House,  f,<?.  of  leas 
than  five  years*  standing ;  each  member  of  the  Caput  having  the  power  of 
rsjeeting  Ibe  Qmoe  by  his  sole  negative  voice, 

Th«  Syndicate  made  a  Report  to  the  Senate  respecting  the  Constitation 
and  powers  of  the  Caput  on  May  28,  1852^  recommending  that  the  Caputs

that  for  the  consideration  of  all  Graces  relating  to  other  Academical  bnain^flA 
a  Council  shooJd  be  formed  and  regulated  in  the  following  manner: 

"  The  Heads  of  Colleges  shall  appoint  three  Menibers ; 

^*  The  Doctors  in  the  faculties  of  Divinity,  Law,  and  Physic,  not  being  Beads 
*'  of  Colleges,  shall  apiioint  three  Members,  that  is  to  say,  the  Doctors  in 
•*  Dis-inity  one,  the  Doctors  in  Law  another,  and  the  Doctors  in  Physio  a  third; 

"  The  Professors,  not  being  either  Heads  of  Colleges  or  Doctors  in  any 
**  one  of  the  said  three  f acuities,  shall  appoint  three  Members ; 

'*And  lastly,  the  Colleges  shall  appoint  three  Non-Begeats  and  three 
**  Begents. 

"  One  Member  of  each  of  the  five  Classes  above  mentioned  shall  go  out 
♦'  in  rotation  every  year  on  November  6,  being  however  re-eligibletand  on  the

•"  shall  be  made  in  the  Benate-House,  the  Chancellor  and  the  Head  of  a

**  and  the  two  Professors  senior  in  Degree,  standing  tn  scrutiny.  They  that 
**  have  most  votes  in  the  first  sorutiny  shall  be  deemed  to  be  appointed,  and  so 
"  likewise,  if  it  be  necessary  to  resort  to  a  second  or  third  and  last  sonitiny. 
**  At  the  same  time  the  names  of  the  Non-Begent  and  Begent  appointed  by  the 
**OoUegeB,  the  appointment  of  them  resting  with  those  Colleges  whose  turn  it 
**  may  be  to  appoint  the  Scrutators,  shall  be  certified  to  the  Chancellor  by  the 
"  Masters  of  those  Colleges  or  their  deputies.  The  names  of  all  the  persons 
**  appointed  shall  be  immediately  published  to  the  Senate  by  the  Senior 
♦*  Proctor, 

'*  The  day  after  ( Sunday  not  being  reckoned  in  either  case)  all  the  five  persons 
*'  so  appointed  shall  b^  separately  proposed  to  the  Senate  for  election  by  Grace 
**  for  three  years :  and  fifteen  persons  so  elected  shall,  with  the  Chancellor 
**  and  the  Vice-Chanoellor  of  the  preceding  year,  constitute  the  said  Council. 

**  In  case  of  a  vacancy  by  death  or  by  any  other  cause,  which  shall  be 
**  deemed  suGScient  by  the  Chancellor  and  two  senior  Doctors  present  in  the

*' again  within  a  time  to  be  prescribed  by  the  Chancellor;  every  person  so 
**  appointed  may  hold  the  place  of  a  Member  on  the  Council  for  the  same 
*'  period  as  that  during  which  the  person,  whose  substitute  he  is,  would

"  any  appointment,  whether  of  an  original  Member  or  of  a  substitute,  be  not

^*  during  Term-time,  and  also  at  such  other  times  as  to  the  ChanceUor  may 
««fieemfit." 

The  Scheme  thus  recommended  by  the  Syndicate  was  intended  to  ao- 
oompliah  the  object  mentioned  in  the  Letter  of  Her  Majesty's  Secretary  of 
State  for  the  Home  Department,  viz.,  to   secure   the   more  general  and 
Affective  representation  of  the  several  main  elements  which  properly  enter 
into  the  composition  of  the  University,  and  it  has  received  the  approbation 
of  the  Univeraity  Commissioners  in  the  following  terms :  (Report,  p.  15.) 
•*We  eannot  hesitate  to  express  our  pleasure  to  find  each  a  proposal 
'*  emanating  from  the  University  itself*    It  has  evidently  been  framed 
'*  with   careful   deliberation,   and  with  an  especial  view  as  well   to 
**  preserve  a  balance  of  power  amoDg  the  several  Colleges,  as  also  to 
**pirevent  the  excitements  and  rivalries  of  a  more  popular  and  un- 
'■  limited  mode  of  appointment.     The  suggested  scheme  has  received 
»•  the  unanimous  approval  of  the  Syndicate ;  and  we  hope  it  may  in 
**  dne  time  receive  the  sanction  of  the  Senate.'^ 
A  Grace  was  passed  by  the  Senate,  February  16,  1853,   for  the  in- 
troduction of  the  above  Scheme  into  the  proposed  new  body  of  Statutes ; 
tad  the  sanotion  of  the  Crown  only  is  now  required  to  give  the  form  of  Law 
to  the  amended  Constitution.

"  not  fit  to  be  intrusted  with  absolute  liberty  and  independence  in  acting  for

'*  properly  suited  to  such  a  state,  unless  it  contains  in  itself  a  mixture  of

"oh&raetef,  and  prepare  them  graduaUy  for  the  weightier  reBponaibilitiea 
"  and  fuller  freedom  of  after<Ufe." 

The  opinion  of  the  Conmussioners  upon  the  advantages  of  residence  in 
connexion  with  Colleges  is  again  expressed  in  similar  tenii»,  but  at  greater 
length  and  with  the  mention  of  details,  under  the  head  of  College  Discipline 
aod  Expenses  in  pp.  145 — 140. 

With  reference  to  the  admission  of  the  proposed  class  of  Students  the 
Commissioners  remark  (Beport,  p.  143) : 

'*It  has  been  contended  that  it  would  be  desirable  to  modify  this  usage/' 
(m.  that  every  Student  should  be  admitted  a  Member  of  some  College  before 
he  can  become  a  matriculated  Member  of  the  University,)  **  and  to  revert  to 
"the  ancient  practice  so  far  as  to  allow  of  matriculated  Students  of  the 
** UmTeraity  not  attached  to  any  College  or  Hall.  This  question  has  received 
"  onr  carefol  consideration,  and  we  arc  of  opinion  that  it  would  not  be  expedient 
"  to  adopt  any  change  of  that  nature  in  the  present  system  of  the  University.  It 
**  appears  to  us  that  one  of  the  most  striking  and  valuable  characteristics  of 
"oar  Engliah  Universities  is  to  be  found  in  the  domeatio  system  of  their 
**ado6ation,  by  which  habits  of  order  and  moral  control  are  most  satis- 
"factorily  obtained.  .  .  .The  two  systems  of  Collegiate  and  Unattached 
"  Students  seem  to  us  to  be  hardly  compatible  with  one  another ;  at  least 
**ve  cannot  doubt  that  great  diffioultiee  would  be  experienced  in  blending 
<«them  hannoniougly  together,  if  the  class  of  Students  not  affiliated  to  some 
"Collegiate  body  were  recognised,  and  afterwards  received  any  considerable 
'^aeoession  of  numbers.  We  come,  therefore,  to  the  conclusion,  that  the 
*<eztemsion  of  the  benefita  of  the  University,  so  as  to  embrace  a  larger 
**  Domber  of  Students  than  at  present  exists,  and  more  proportionate  to  the 
"  great  inerease  of  our  population  and  national  wealth,  must  be  sought  in  a 
"  corresponding  growth  of  our  Collegiate  system,  and  in  such  improvements 
"  of  the  existing  foundation  as  may  render  them  more  generally  accesaible

"  verBity  to  allow  Sttideuta  belonging  to  the  College b,  to  refiide  in  Lodgings 
"in  the  Town.  By  this  means  grtat  facility  hae  been  given  for  the  accom- 
*•  modation  of  an  increased  nmnber  of  Students,  inasmuch  as  the  power  of 
**  CollegeB  to  accept  admiseione  has  thus  been  limited  only  by  the  extent  of 
**  their  Halla  and  Chapels,  and  their  own  Benee  of  what  was  due  to  »  proper 
**  provision  for  the  iuatructiou  and  superintendence  of  the  members  admitted/' 

It  appears  hy  a  Table  printed  in  th^  Beport  of  the  Commissioners,  p.  145, 
that  on  November  14,  1851^  wlulo  the  number  of  Undergraduate  members  of 
the  Univerflity^  whether  actually  residing  or  not,  was  1760,  the  number 
regidxng  in  lodgings  was  736, 

After  describing  the  conditions  niider  which  Students  belonging  to 
Colleges  are  allowed  to  reaide  In  lodgings  in  the  town,  and  notieing  the 
argumenta  which  have  been  ctrged  for  and  against  the  practice^  the  Com- 
mission ere  remark  (Report,  p.  144 )»  "We  should  be  unwilling  to  interfere 
**  materially  with  the  liberty  at  present  enjoyed  by  the  Colleges,  of  admitting 
**  a  greater  number  of  Students  than  they  can  accommodate  within  their 
"walla.  We  think,  however,  that  it  would  be  very  advantageous,  if 
*^  buildings  were  erected  for  the  reception  of  Students,  in  Immediate  eon- 
**  nexion  with,  and  under  the  direct  control  of,  the  Collegiate  bodies.  For 
^'  such  Aviated  Halla  we  apprehend  that  no  fresh  powers  are  required,** 

Upon  the  same  subject  again  the  Commissioners  remark  (Report,  p»  1!>), 
**■  The  system  itself/'  (of  allowing  Students  belonging  to  Colleges  to  reside  in 
lodgings  in  the  town,)  "  if  carefully  and  vigilantly  guarded,  appears  to  be 
"capable  of  securing  to  a  great  extent  the  substantial  benefit  of  Collegiate 
**  superinlendenoe,  and  at  the  same  time  of  affording  free  and  ample  facilities 
*'  for  the  admission  of  any  number  of  Students  desirous  of  the  advantages  of 
**  an  University  education.  An  opinion  hae  been  expressed  in  some  quarters 
*•  that  it  would  be  more  conducive  to  the  ends  of  discipline,  if,  in  connexion 
"  with  and  dependence  on  the  Colleges,  there  were  hostels  or  public  buLldingB 
*•  establiahed  for  the  reception  of  Students  tinder  a  system  of  closer  inspection 
«*  and  stricter  control  than  can  be  attained  while  they  are  dispersed  in  private 
**  lodgings  throughout  the  town.  There  does  not  appear  to  be  any  impedi- 
*'  ment  to  the  execution  of  such  a  design,  if  adequate  funds  can  be  provided 
**  for  the  purpose." 

The  Syndicate  concur  in  these  remarks  of  the  Commissioners,  and  would 
observe  that,  in  cases  where  Colleges  do  not  possess  the  means  of  building, 
the  purpose  of  providing  accommodation  for  a  greater  number  of  their 
Students  might  be  effected,  if  oooasion  required,  by  hiring  houses  in  the  town. 


m. — pROFRSaoniAL   AKD  OTHER  UNIVEBSmf  FOUNDATIONS. 


The  Syndicate  have  directed  their  attention  to  the  remarks  made  by 
University  Commissionera  respecting  those  provisions  of  the  Foundation' 
deeds  of  some  Professorships  and  Lectureships  which  the  lapse  of  time  and 
altered  circumstances  have  rendered  inapplicable  to  the  present  state  of 
things,  and  highly  inexpedient,  if  not  impossible,  to  be  observed;  and  they 
ore  of  opinion  that  in  all  such  cases  the  spirit  of  the  Founders'  intentioofl^ 
wonld  be  more  effectually  complied  with,  if  a  careful  revision  wiere  mode  ol

mny  be  applied  to  some  of  the  Univeniity  Scholarships  and  other  endowments. 

It  ia  believed  that  in  some  of  the  casea  referred  to  an  Act  of  the 
Legislature  would  be  required  to  enable  the  University*  In  oonjtinction  with 
the  Trugtees  or  other  persona  interested,  to  make  the  desired  alterations; 
and  even  in  ca^s  where  the  aathority  of  Her  Majesty's  Courts  of  Eqaity 
would  bo  saffiotent^  a  great  advantage  wonid  be  gained,  if  an  opportunity 
were  given  of  ftooomplishing  by  less  expensive  and  more  ejcpcditions  means 
an  object  involving  the  consideration  of  a  multiplicity  of  details. 

The  Syndicate  are  encouraged  by  the  Letter  of  Her  Majesty's  Secretary  of 
State  for  the  Home  Department  to  express  their  desire  that  the  aid  of 
Parliament  should  be  given  to  the  University  for  this  purposes  and  they 
beg  leave  to  submit  that  the  object  in  view  might  be  accomplished  in  a 
•atisfftototy  manner  if  enabling  powers,  to  be  exercised  for  a  limited  term^ 
Win  givtn  by  an  Act  of  tlie  Legislature  to  a  Board  of  persons,  who  should 
deaerve  the  confidence  of  the  University  and  of  the  Country  in  the  execution 
of  a  work  requiring  the  greatest  care  and  prudence,  and  an  intimate 
Aoqnaintance  as  well  with  the  wants  and  duties  of  the  Univerdty,  as  with  its 
Constitution  and  Government.  In  suggesting  this  mode  of  proceeding  the 
Syndicate  are  mainly  inflaenoed  by  a  desire  to  avoid  the  evil  of  repeated  and 
minute  interference  by  Parliament  in  the  affairs  of  the  University. 

They  venture  further  to  suggest,  that  it  ehoold  be  the  duty  of  the  Board 
Ui  receive  and  eonaiiier  all  schemes  proposed  lo  it  jointly  by  the  Senate  and 
the  Trustees  or  other  persons  interested  in  any  TJniversity  Foundations, 
respecting  the  application  of  the  property  or  the  regulation  a  framed  to 
govern  such  Foundations,  and  that  it  should  have  the  power^  adhering  as 
mach  as  may  be  to  the  spirit  of  the  intention  of  the  Founders,  to  ratify  and 
sttablish  such  sebemeti  subject  to  the  sanction  of  the  Queen  in  CounciL 

It  is  fully  believed  that,  if  such  an  authority  were  created,  both  the 
University  itself  and  the  persons  entrusted  with  the  charge  and  management 
of  University  Foundations,  would  willingly  avail  themselves  of  the  aid  bo 
Afforded  to  give  to  those  Foundations  the  most  useful  and  efficient  form 
which  they  are  capable  of  receiving.

The  Syndicate  appointed  to  revise  the  Statutes  of  the  University,  besides 
the  proposal  above  mentioned  for  a  new  Coancil  of  Legislation,  made  reports 
to  the  Senate,  dated  December  lOtb,  1B51,  and  March  23rd,  1852,  respec- 
tively, in  which  thej  recommended  that  G-races  should  be  o§ered  to  the 
Senate  for  the  introduction  into  the  proposed  new  body  of  Statutes  of  varloaa 
laws  and  regnlations  effecting  important  alterations  in  the  existing  law  and 
practice  of  the  University.  And  having  revised  the  whole  body  of  Statutes 
with  reference  to  existing  and  aothorized  practice,  they  also  printed  and 
circulated  in  the  Senate  a  Draft  of  the  Statutes  representing  the  form  they 
would  bear,  if  &U  the  propofted  alterations  were  adopted*

Syndicate^  into  the  proposed  new  body  of  Statutes* 

Upon  the  publication  of  the  CommiflBionera'  Report  the  Sji^dicate  pro- 
ceeded to  conBider  carefully  the  several  suggestions  and  recommendations  of 
the  CommisaionerSt  and  they  Anally  made  a  fourth  Beport,  dated  November 
30,  1652f  reoommending  such  modifications  of,  or  additiona  to,  the  pro{>o»ed 
Statutes  as,  after  mature  consideration,  appeared  to  them  desirable. 

Graces  embodying  the  recommendations  of  the  Syndicate  were  offered  to  the 
Benate  on  three  succeBsive  days  in  February,  1863 ;  and  it  will  be  seen  in  the 
copies  of  the  Syndieate's  Beports  attached  to  these  remarks  what  the  several 
Propositions  are,  whioh  having  been  approved  by  the  Senate  may  be  coneidei

now  under  cousideration  by  the  Syndicate  of  Privileges  and  the  Syndicate  of 
Studies,  hereafter  to  be  mentioned  -  and  when  those  Syndicates  have  eompteted 
their  labours,  and  the  judgment  of  the  Senate  has  been  obtained  respeeting 
the  Propositions  which  may  be  submitted  by  them,  the  entire  Draft  of  a  new

The  general  system  of  Study  in  the  University,  indnding  as  well  tho 
coDree  of  instruction  in  the  several  branches  of  learning  and  soienoe  as  tbe 
Gxaminationfl  for  Degrees,  forms  a  prominent  subject  in  the  Commiasionetri* 
Beport  i  and  the  suggestions  and  recommendations  made  by  them  are  en- 
titled to  the  utmost  attention. 

Aiier  much  deliberation  respeoting  the  best  way  of  bringing  this  subject 
under  the  consideration  of  the  University,  the  Vice-Chanoellor  offered  a  Gmcef 
which  was  passed  by  the  Senate,  February  2,  1853,  to  appoint  a  Syndicate 
**  to  consider  whether  it  is  expedient  to  adopt  any  meaBures,  and  if  so  what, 
for  aagmenting  the  existing  means  of  teaching  the  Student*  of  the  University 
by  Public  Professors  and  Public  Lectures,  and  for  regulating  and  encouraging 
the  studies  so  taught ;  and  to  report  thereon  to  the  Senate,  from  time  to  time 
until  the  end  of  the  Easter  Term,  1855." 

A  Grace  was  subsequently  passed,  May  25,  1853,  to  continue  the  powera 
of  the  Syndicate  until  the  end  of  the  Easter  Term,  1854. 

The  points  to  be  considered  being  so  many  and  bo  important,  and  affectijig 
so  materially  the  interests  of  the  University  and  all  the  Colleges,  it  was  thought 
desirable  to  extend  the  composition  of  the  Syndicate  beyond  the  usual  number 
of  such  a  body.  The  Syndicate  appointed  thus  consists  of  thirty- nine  members 
of  the  Senate,  and  comprehende  two  or  more  from  every  College,  together  with 
the  Begins  Profesgor  in  each  of  the  faculties  of  Divinity,  Law,  and  Physic, 

The  Syndicate  have  been  engaged  in  a  oonrse  of  long  and  regular  sittings 
during  three  suecessive  Terms  in  theoonsidemtion  of  the  questions  Bubmittod_

The  present  atate  of  the  University  with  reg&rd  to  Bifaseams*  Laboratories, 
and  Leciojre  Rooms  for  the  us©  of  the  Professors,  is  described  by  the  Comraia- 
aioDers  in  pp.  115-124  of  their  Report;  and  they  recommend  measures  to  be 
^en  for  obiaining  a  site  and  eieeting  the  neoeaeary  huildings. 

With  the  view  of  adopting  some  praetieal  meaaures  for  the  flupplj  of  argent 
wants  in  this  respect,  a  Grace  was  passed  by  the  Senate,  February  2;  165d, 
appointing  a  Syndicate  **  to  consider  whether  any  and  what  steps  should  be 
tftken  for  appropriating  to  the  use  of  the  Umveraity  the  site  of  the  Old 
Botanic  Qarden,  and  to  confer  with  the  Trustees  of  the  Botanic  Garden 
thereon  ;  also  to  consider  whether  any  and  what  steps  shoald  be  taken  for 
erecting  additional  Lecture  Rooms  and  Museums/' 

The  Syndicate  made  a  Report  to  the  Senate »  March  7,  1853,  on  the  first 
of  the  qoeetions  submitted  to  them,  commuaicating  an  arraugementf  to 
which  the  Qoveraors  of  the  Botanic  Garden  had  expressed  their  willin guess 
to  eo&sent,  for  appropriating  the  site  of  the  Old  Botanic  Garden  to  the  use  of 
the  University  free  from  the  trosta  and  conditions  to  which  it  was  subject, 
and  recommending  that  the  necesBary  steps  should  be  taken  to  procure  by 
eompfltent  authority  the  confirmation  of  that  arrangement  and  the  appropria- 
tioD  of  the  ground. 

The  Report  was  confirmed  by  the  Senate,  March  11,  1853,  and  the 
Syndicate  were  authorized,  in  con j auction  with  the  Governors  of  the 
Botanic  Garden,  to  take  the  necessary  steps  for  the  above  purpose. 

A  further  Report  made  by  the  Syndicate,  October  25,  1853,  informed  the 
Senate  Umt  upon  application  to  the  Court  of  Chancery  an  order  had  been 
made,  Jaly  29,  1853,  directing  that  the  above-mentioned  arrangement 
■honld  be  carried  into  effect,  and  that  upon  completion  of  that  arrangement 
the  land  and  premises  constituting  the  site  of  the  Old  Botanic  Garden 
ahoold  be  and  continue  vested  in  the  Chancellor,  Maatera,  and  Scholars  of 
the  University  released  and  abeolately  discharged  of  and  from  the  Trnsta 
created  with  respect  thereto. 

The  arrangement,  involving  the  outlay  of  a  large  sum  of  money  by  the 
University,  has  since  been  completed ;  and  an  ample  and  eligible  site  has 
Imch  thua  obtained,  applicable  for  the  erection  of  the  required  buildiogB, 

The  Syndicate  have  recently,  December  31,  1853,  made  a  foither  Report^

of  the  proposed  bnildings,  and  recommending  the  employment  of  an  Architect

with  an  intimation  that  they  were  ready  to  reoeiTe  any  remarks  which  ffie 
Aathorities  of  the  University  might  desire  to  make  respecting  it.  And  this 
Memorial  involving  matters  deeply  affecting  the  discipline  and  good  govern- 
ment of  the  University,  the  Vice- Chancellor  ofifered  a  Grace,  which  was  passed 
by  the  Senate  March  *26,  1852,  appointing  a  Syndicate  to  take  the  MemoriAl 
into  consideration  and  to  make  auch  Remarks  thereon  as  they  might  deem 
fit  for  the  purpose  of  their  being  transmitted  to  the  Commissioneri,  The 
Memorial  as  well  as  the  remarks  of  the  Syndicate  thereon  have  been  printed 
by  the  Comraisaionerfi  among  the  evidence  attached  to  their  Report  (pp,  35-46). 

The  Commissioners  having  considered  the  atatements  of  the  Uni\*et8ity 
ftnd  the  Town  respectively,  have  made  several  important  suggestions  and 
recommendations  (Report,  pp,  5^9)  respecting  the  matters  which  affect  the 
relations  between  the  two  bodies. 

With  the  view  of  submitting  these  suggestions  to  the  consideration  and 
judgment  of  the  University,  a  Grace  was  passed  October  29,  1852,  appointing 
the  same  Syndicate  to  consider  generally  the  Privileges  of  the  Univereity. 

The  Syndicate  proceeded  to  oonaider  carefully  and  in  detail  the  several 
suggestions  and  recommendations  of  the  Commissioners,  but  they  have  not  yet 
made  any  report  to  the  Senate  in  consequence  of  a  proposal  made  by  the  Council 
of  the  Borough  for  a  conference  between  Committees  of  the  two  bodies.

asaessed  to  such  ratea,  or  inadequately  assessed  thereto. 

On  the  6tla  of  Miirch,  the  Syndicate  of  Privileges  made  a  Report  to 
the  Senate,  which,  after  referring  to  the  failure  of  the  negotiationa  with 
the  Town,  th^ia  concludes : 

The  Syndicate,  under  the  eiraimiEtances  Attending  the  fnoltin;  of  the  nego- 
tiation^  refrains  from  reconLmendiEig  at  preaent  for  tlie  adoption  of  the  Senate 
any  specifio  resoltttions  respecting  its  Privileges  or  its  rclatiouB  with  the  Towd 
in  connexion  with  those  FrivilegeB,  but  confines  itself  simply  to  the  consider- 
ation of  that  coarse  of  proceeding  which  may  seem  the  fittest  to  indicate  the 
desire  of  the  University  to  pay  due  attention  to  the  recommendatiotia  of  Her 
Majesty's  Commisaioners,  and  the  likelieai  to  lead  to  a  settlement  of  those 
matters  which  caose  frequent  disaensions  between  the  University  and  the 
Town  ;  dissenaions  much  to  be  lamented  and  deprecated^  whether  for  their 
disturbance  of  mutual  good  feeling  or  for  their  interruption  of  the  proper 
and  quiet  purf<uit»  of  a  place  dedicated  to  learning  and  science. 

In  accordanee  with  a  Grace  passed  January  17i  1854,  certain  remarki 
were  transmitted  to  the  Chancellor  of  the  University  in  reply  to  inquiries 
made  by  the  Secretary  of  State  for  tlie  Home  Department,  among  which 
remarks  were  some  respecting  the  proceedings  of  this  Syndicate  and  the 
negotiation  then  pending. 

In  further  reply  to  those  inquiries  the  Syndicate  now  recommends  that 
the  present  Report  be  transmitted  by  the  Vice-Chancellor  to  the  Chancellor, 
with  a  request  that  His  Boyal  Highness  will  bo  pleased  to  communicate  the 
same  to  the  Home  Secretary,  for  the  purpose  of  acquainting  his  Lordship 
with  both  the  fact  and  the  cause  of  the  breaking  o£f  of  the  negotiation^  and 
also  of  representing  the  expediency  of  settling  by  Legislative  authority  the 
various  questions  of  privilege  affecting  the  discipline  and  good  government 
of  the  University  and  its  relations  with  the  Town. 

The  Syndicate  also  recommends  that  together  with  the  present  Report 
there  be  transmitted  Copies  of  the  Memorial  presented  by  the  Town  Council 
to  Her  Majesty*s  CommisBioncrs,  of  the  Remarks  thereon  made  on  behalf  of 
the  University,  of  the  suggestions  and  recommendations  of  the  Commia- 
BionerSt  and  of  the  Report  of  the  Syndicate  dated  February  11, 1854. 

A  Grace  confirming  this  Re^Kjrt  passed  the  Senate  on  the  10th  of 
March. 

The  following  Address  to  Lord  Palmerston,  signed  by  forty-three 
resident  Members  of  the  Senate,  was  sent  to  his  Lordship  on  the  3

To  the  Bight  HoDourable  the  Lord  Viscount  Pnltneretoti,  Her  Majesty's 
Principal  Secretary  of  State  for  the  Home  Department. 

We  Ibe  anderBigDed,  Members  of  the  Senate  of  the  University  of  Cambridge, 
beg  leave  respect faUy  to  offer  to  your  Lordbhip*s  notice  the  following  remarks 
upon  the  Beport  of  a  Syndicate  appointed  by  the  Senate  December  23, 185S,  to 
take  into  condderation  parts  of  a  Letter  addressed  to  our  Chancellor  by  your 
Lordahipt  December  12,  1853,  This  Beport,  a  copy  of  which  ia  hereto 
appended*  reoitee  a  Scheme  for  the  construction  and  operation  of  a  new  De- 
liberative Council^  and  fnither  etates,  that  *'  a  Grace  was  passed  by  the  Senate 
Febmary  15,  1863,  for  the  introduction  of  the  above  Scheme  into  the  new 
body  of  StatnteSf  and  the  sanction  of  tlie  Crown  only  is  now  required  to  give 
the  form  of  hiw  to  the  amended  Constitution/' 

We  conceive  that  there  are  featares  in  this  Scheme  which  will  prevent  it 
from  effecting  such  a  proper  representation  of  the  main  elements  of  the  Uni- 
TCfsity  as  is  recommended  in  your  Lordship's  Letter  to  our  Chancellor^  and 
venture  to  request  your  attention  to  a  few  of  them. 

In  relation  to  the  constitution  of  the  Council  it  proposes  that : 

(1)  "The  Heads  of  Colleges  shall  appoint  throe  Members"  of  the  CoanciL 
Aa  the  Chancellor  {or  Vioe-Chancellor)  sud  the  Vice- Chant; ellor  of  the

effect  hjire  ^re  represenUtiTefl  amongst  the  wfcnteen  pcvBoiis  who  are  to 
ecmttitxite  thai  body. 

(2)  **  The  Doetore  in  the  facilities  of  Diyinlty,  Law,  and  Pbymo,  not  being 
HeedA  of  CoUeges,  shall  appoint  three  Members."  These  form  namenoally 
a  "werj  smaU  and  not  yery  important  element  in  the  oomposillon  of  the  Uni- 
versltj;  we  believe  that  the  number  of  them  who  are  resident  does  not  excieed 
twelve. 

(8)  '*The  Dolkgee  ahall  appoint  three  Non  Begenta  and  three  Beg^tfl*" 
iil  CnUeepe  appointmaiili  are  niad(>  by  a  certain  govemlng  body^  whleh,  in  the 
moat  liTOOfabLa  ease,  ecmnste  of  the  Master  and  Fellows,  but  generally  of 
the  Master  and  a  restxieled  portion  of  the  Fellows;  in  no  ease  hare  the  other 
nnmeroos  Members  of  the  Senate  connected  with  the  College  any  voice  in 
such  matters.  Moreorer,  the  Members  of  the  Senate  usually  termed  **Com' 
morantea  in  Villa  **  are  not  attached  to  any  College^ 

Concerning  these  three  elements  of  the  proposed  Conneil,  we  ▼enlme  lo 
remark  that  the  constituencies  of  the  first  two  have  been  made  to  supply  an 
unduly  large  proportion  of  members ;  and  thAt  the  governing  bodies  of  the 
Colleges  have  acquired  an  unsuspected  degree  of  prominenoe ;  whilst  that  very 
numerous  and  important  portion  of  the  Senate,  which  is  formed  of  those  who 
are  neither  Heads  nor  governing  Fellows  of  Colleges^  Doctors,  nor  Prolmoiv, 
is  left  totally  without  rerpreaentatlon. 

The  Scheme  also  proposes  that  : 

The  appointments  of  the  Heads  of  Colleges^  Doctors,  and  Professors 
be  made  annually  on  a  speciBed  day  in  the  Seoate-Hoose,  and  the  appoint- 
ments of  the  Colleges  shall  be  cc'ttifiod  to  the  Chancellor  at  the  same  time 
and  place.  On  the  following  day  all  the  persons  so  appointed  or  certified  shall 
he  separately  proposed  to  the  Senate  for  election. 

In  providing  for  the  case  where  the  Senate  refuses  any  nomineet  and  for 
all  cases  of  irregularity  in  the  proceedings,  the  Scheme  proposes  that : 

(1)  If  any  person  appointed  by  the  Heads  of  Colleges  be  not  elected  by  tbe 
Senate,  the  Yice-Cbancellor  and  Heads  of  Colleges  ftball  proceed  to  ^"fiinaf* 
two  perBons,  one  of  whom  the  Senate  must  elect. 

(2)  If  any  appointment  made  by  the  Doctors,  Professors,  or  GoUegeSt  is  not 
duly  made,  or  not  properly  certified,  or  if  the  person  appointed  be  not  elected 
by  the  Senate,  a  second  appointment  shall  not  be  required  from  the  body 
whose  nomination  is  annulled  for  any  of  these  causes,  but  the  Heads  of  Co^ 
leges  shall  nominate  two  persons,  one  of  whom  the  Senate  must  eleot* 

{$)  If  a  vacancy  should  occur  amongst  the  Members  of  the  Council  from  any 
cause  not  considered  sufiicient  by  the  Vice-ChanoeUor  and  two  Senior  Doctors 
(all  of  them  probably  Heads  of  Colleges)  present  in  the  University,  the  Heads  of 
Colleges  are  to  nominate  and  the  Senate  must  elect  as  in  the  preceding  (3)  case. 

(4)  The  same  three  persons  are  to  decide  whether  the  appolntmente  have, 
or  have  not,  been  duly  made  or  certified. 

It  thus  appears  that  every  effort  made  by  the  Senate  to  protect  itaelf  against 
objectionable  nominations,  will  only  result  in  placing  the  appointment  beyond 
their  own  control,  and  bestowing  it  upon  that  partioolar  class  which,  fipom 
the  first,  is  represented  in  a  somewhat  disproportionate  manner.

In  the  clmiM  of  the  Scheme  which  refers  to  the  tranBaction  of  huBiness  in 
the  Council,  it  is  provided,  that  *'In  ease  of  a  diflference  of  opioion  betiiveeD 
the  CJhancellor  and  a  majority  of  the  Members  of  the  Counoil  present,  no  act  of 
the  CoTincil  shall  be  vahd  without  the  approTal  of  a  majority  of  the  whole 
nomber  of  persona  constitnting  the  ConncD/^  This  provision  doeB,  in  efifect, 
make  all  absent  Members  of  the  Council  vote  ^  ith  the  Yice-Chancellor,  and 
amoontfl  to  giving  him  an  abiolnte  power  of  veto  in  ail  eases,  except  when  nine 
out  of  the  Beventeen  Members  of  the  CouDcil  actually  present  themselves 
against  him.  We  do  not  see  any  sufficient  reason  for  intrusting  him  with 
such  an  amount  of  irresponsible  power. 

With  the  above  points  of  the  Scheme  prominently  before  as,  we  can  enter- 
tain  no  other  opinion,  than  that  it  totally  fails  to  secure  *'  the  more  general 
and  effective  representation  of  the  several  main  elements  which  prop<[^rly  enter 
into  the  composition  of  the  University;"  and  we  venture  to  hope  that  your 
Lordship  will,  in  your  proposed  measure  of  University  reform,  adopt  in  its 
t  one  better  framed  to  meet  this  requirement.

This  year  a  i»ro|X)»al  waa  set  on  foot  for  pulling  down  All  Sain 
Church,  and  erecting  a  new  Church  for  that  Pan^h^  opposite  Jeaui 
College,  That  College  offered  to  give  a  suitable  site,  and  liberal 
sub&criptionfl  were  promised  by  Trinity,  St  John's,  Sidney,  and  Jes\ii4 
Colleges,  and  several  private  individuaLs ;  it  was  ultimately,  however, 
found  impracticable  to  raise  the  whole  of  the  requisite  funds. 

On  the  2nd  of  March,  the  Council  petitioned  the  House  of  Commons 
against  a  proposal  to  consolidate  the  Polioe  of  Boroughs  and  Counties.

in  the  eBtablishiuent  of  an  honourable  tind  lasting  peace. 

6rvK!«  under  the  cotnmoQ  s^at  of  the  Borough  aforeftaiil^  at  a  Council 
there  holden,  on  the  4th  day  of  May,  IS&'I, 

On  the  9th  of  Maj  there  waft  a  Grand  Choral  Festival  in  Kiqg*8 
College  C!iftp©l  Above  3000  persons  were  present.  At  the  cfincluBion 
a  Collection  wiis  made  for  the  Benevolent  Fund  for  the  relief  of  widown 
and  orphami  of  organistii  and  lay -clerks  of  Cathedral  and  Collegiate 
Choirs.     The  sum  suliscribed  waa  £23L  (U,  Bd, 

The  Statute  Syndicate,  on  the  27th  of  J^Iay,  made  a  Hej^rt  to  the 
following  efiect : 

That  in  con&equ^nce  of  certain  Graces,  proposed  to  the  Senate  in  February 
1853^  for  confimiing  regulations  contained  in  the  Dtaft  of  the  Kew  Statnieft 
dated  November  30,  lBt52,  not  having  been  pa«god,  and  also  of  certain  other 
Graeei,  propoeed  in  May  1854,  on  the  recommendation  of  the  Studies  Syndicate 
for  tlie  introd action  of  other  regulations,  having  been  passed,  ft  hae  beeome 
necessary  to  revise  the  Draft  again. 

One  of  the  regulations  bo*  disapproved  in  February  18.53,  waa:  **  That  for 
the  keeping  of  a  Tenn  reRidence  diiring  two4hirdfi  of  the  Term  shall  be 
necessary."  The  Syndicate  believes  tliat  the  Senate  objected  to  this  as  a 
Btalate,  because  it  precluded  future  modification  without  a  fresh  applicattou 
to  the  Crown,  yet  that  the  Senate  would  have  accepted  in  an  enablini;^,  what 
it  refused  in  an  obligatory  form. 

The  Syndicate  therefore  recommends  that  a  Grace  be  offered  for  the  intro- 
duction of  the  following  Law  into  the  proposed  new  Body  of  Statutes  : 

/iVsfif^ntY.— That  in  the  oompiitation  of  Terms  kept  hy  any  Student^  no 
Term  shall  be  accounted  to  have  been  kept,  in  which  he  has  not  resided  during 
flucli  part  thereof  aa  is  prescribed  by  the  University,  and  that  snch  part  shall 
be  at  least  the  major  part. 

On  the  other  hand  the  Syndicate  believes  that  another  regulation,  *'  That 
**  Graduates  of  other  Univeraiiiea  besides  those  of  Oxford  and  Dublin  may  be 
'* admitted  to  titular  Degrees  corresponding  to  the  Dogrees  which  they  bear  in 
"their  own  University/'  was  disapproved  for  a  contrary  reason,  as  allowing 
too  much  liberty. 

The  Syndicate  therefore  recommends  that  a  Grace  be  offered  for  the  intro* 
duction  of  the  following  Law  into  the  proposed  new  Body  of  Statutes. 

Titular  Degree*, — That  Graduates  of  any  other  University  as  well  as  thoie  of 
Oxford  and  Dublin,  may  be  admitted  to  Titulai'  Degrees  corresponding  to  the 
Degrees  which  they  bear  in  their  ow^  University,  provided  that  such  privilege 
has  been  previously  conceded  to  their  University  by  special  Grace  of  the  Senate, 

Amon^  the  Giuoes  passed  in  February  185H,  there  was  one  for  limiting  the 
privilege  at  present  accorded  to  Masters  of  Arts  proceeding  to  the  Degree  of 
Doctor  in  Divinity  per  saUum.  Certain  Graces  however,  passed  in  May  1H54, 
having  altogether  abolished  such  privilege  in  regard  to  the  Degree  of  '. 
Law  or  Physio,  the  Syndicate  is  of  opinion  that,  in  conformity  with  the  principle

80  estublished,  the  flitme  prohihition  shoald  apply  to  the  faculty  of  Theology. 
Any  difltiijguiahed  pei-son  would  still  have  ucceBS  to  th©  Degree  of  Doctor  in 
Divinity  by  meaos  of  Another  Statute. 

The  Syndicjite  therefore  recommends  thfti  the  followini;  Grace  be  offered: 

Theolofjy — That  the  Kegnlationa  refrpecting  per  saltDm  Degrees  in  Theo* 
logy,  aonctioned  hy  Grace  of  the  Senate  February  16,  1853,  l>e  repealed. 

Again,  the  rognlatioiiB  which  have  been  «iuictioned  by  other  Graoes,  patised 
in  May  1^64.  re^pectini?  Students  in  Law  and  Physic,  and  hy  which  among 
(Tther  things  ii  is  provided  that  the  period  of  residence  and  Exarninationa  of 
Stodents  in  those  faenltiea  Bhall  be  more  under  the  control  of  the  l*tiiveriftity  at 
large  than  they  have  been  bltheriOt  Beem  to  render  it  Ht  that  the  University 
should  pOHsesK  the  like  power  of  allowing  a  Term  to  a  Student  in  Law  or  Phyflic, 
ou  occasion  of  illncHt*  or  other  sufficient  cause,  which  it  possesses  in  the  case 
of  a  8tudent  in  Arts. 

The  Syndicate  therefore  reconamenda  that  a  Graoo  be  offered  for  the  intro- 
duction of  the  following  Law  into  the  proposed  new  Body  of  Statutes* 

Laic  and  Phyaic, — That  the  LJnivertvIty  be  at  liberty  to  grant  a  Term  to  a 
Student  in  Law  or  PhyBiCi  although  he  has  not  kept  it,  for  any  cause  which  to 
University  may  appear  sufUcient,  nnder  the  like  regulations  as  are  pro- 
in  the  caee  of  a  Student  in  Arts. 

In  revising  the  Draft  the  Syndicate  has  left  out  some  enactments,  which  it 
thinks  may  heller  rent  merely  ou  the  authority  of  Graces,  It  haa  also  made 
ft  few  alterations  in  the  Draft,  which  it  docs  notdc^em  nocesaary  to  |>oint  out  in 
detalli  as  a  fresh  Draft  will  be  issued  for  the  Membern  of  the  Senate ;  and  the 
let!  to«  beoaase  it  is  of  opinion  that  the  most  exact  and  satisfactory  way  in 
which  iht  Senate  can  pronounce^  its  opt ti ion  upon  the  whole  Body  of  the  new 
Statntea,  is  by  voting  separately  tipon  every  aeotion  of  each  Chapter  in  the 
Draft, 

The  Draft  will,  as  on  former  oceaHions,  be  printed  so  as  to  exhibit  the  form 
which  the  new  Statutes  would  bear,  were  the  Graces,  which  tlie  Syndicate  has 
now  recommended  to  be  oflferedi  all  passed.  Should  any  of  them  not  be  passed, 
the  seveial  Sections  affected  by  them  can  readily  be  altered  and  be  again 
submitted  in  their  amended  form  to  the  Senate. 


On  the  1 7th  *»f  May,  the  Senate  voted  PetitiuuH  ti»  both  Hou>«vs  of 
Pfirltament,  praying  that  the  two  Canonriew  in  the  Cathedral  Church  of 
Ely,  propo»etl  by  3  &  4  Vict.  c.  113,  to  Ije  Hiw[iended»  and  which  were  then

Oxfotti^hipe,  and  an  excuse  wa«  offei^l  for  him  by  Mr  Earon  Alderwou,  on 

■iiic  ground  that  he  was  Viee-Chanc^ellor  of  the  Univeraity.  L«jrti  Chief 
Justice  JerviJ!)  said  Dr  Guetit  had  no  leg^d  obJe<;tion  to  <ifier,  and  lie 
doubted  whether  that  <is*»enibly  was  K>urid  to  receive  any  other.     The 

BChauceUor  of  the  Exchequer  s^iiil  that  the  reii!  qviewtion  involved  wan 
whether  the  maatership  of  a  coOege  waa  to  be  conaidere^J  a  [jcnuanent

qualified  while  ho  held  the  Vrce-Chancelli^rahip  of  the  University  of 

-Cati) bridge.  Mr  Baruu  Parke  thought  he  waa  not  legally  exempt,  but 
the  duties  he  hiid  tt)  }»erform  were  oertainly  iuconn*atiljle  with  the  othee  of 
Sheriffi  and  he  ought  not  to  be  jdaoed  on  the  list.  Lord  Chief  Juatioo 
Jen'iJ*  said  Dr  Guent  woidd  not  be  called  ui>on  t<j  serve  while  he  waa 

PVice-Chanoellor,  and  he  thought  their  L"  >njUhi{*.s  were  about  Ui  decide  by 
a  side  wind  that  the  Master  of  a  College  was  entitled  to  exemption,  a 
prixilcge  which  he  (the  learned  judge)  thought  he  should  not  have  the 
pjwer  of  claiming.     Mr  htinm  AUlernon  oli«crved  with  regard  to  Dr

It  will  be  contended  that  this 
power  ought  to  be  retained,  bat 
the  University  will  leave  the 
question  of  revenue  in  the  dis- 
ensiion  of  the  Arbitrator. 


The  University  will  submit  that 
the  power  now  vested  in  the 
Vioe- Chancellor  of  appointing 
Inspectors  under  the  5  d;  6 
WilliAra  IV,  c.  03,  should  be

That  the  respective  qaotas  of 
tlie  University  and  Town  to  the 
Land  Tax  ought  to  be  readjusted. 

That  all  the  Buildings  and  Pro- 
perty occupied  by  the  University 
and  Colleges  (College  Chai)els 
only  excepted),  are  legally  liable 
to  Parochial  Bates ;  or  that  any 
Property  the  Arbitrator  may 
deem  not  so  legally  liable  ought 
to  be  made  assessable  to  such 
rates  in  future.

It  will  be  oontended  that  there 
should  not  be  any  sneh  readjust- 
ment. 

It  cannot  be  admitted  on  the 
part  of  the  University  that  the 
Buildings  or  Property  in  its 
own  occupation  for  Academical 
purposes  are  legally  liable  to 
Parochial  Bates.  With  the 
view,  however,  of  arriving  at  an 
equitable  and  satisfactory  ad- 
justqient  of  all  differences,  the 
University  is  willing  to  leave 
the  question  of  assessment  in 
the  discretion  of  the  Arbitrator ; 
provided  that  he  will  direct  a 
readjustment  of  the  contribution 
of  the  University  to  the  expenses 
incurred  under  the  Cambridge 
Improvement  Acts,  a  proper 
mode  of  assessment,  and  a 
scheme  or  means  by  whieh  the 
University  may  be  secured  suffi- 
cient control  over  the  manage- 
ment of  the  Town  Police  and  the 
details  of  Parochial  and  Muni- 
cipal expenditure ;  and  the  Uni- 
versity propose  to  give  notice  to 
the  Commissioners  acting  under 
those  Statutes,  in  order  that 
they  may  attend  and  consider 
the  subject. 

It  will  be  contended  that  no 
good  reason  exists  for  a  retro- 
spective  payment. 


15.  That  as  respects  University  and 
College  Property,  which  the  Ar- 
bitrator may  deem  legally  liable 
to  Parochial  Bates,  compen- 
sation ought  to  be  made  for  a 
retrospective  period  (say  from 
the  beginning  of  1851),  due  al- 
lowance being  made  for  the  sum 
actually  paid  during  the  same 
period  by  the  Vice-Chancellor 
to  the  Parishes. 

At  the  close  of  the  hearing  on  the  18th  of  May,  Mr  Cowling,  one 
of  the  (Counsel  for  the  University,  placed  in  the  hands  of  the  Arbitrator 
suggestions  in  writing  to  the  following  effect : — 

1.    The  power  to  make  a  special  rate  to  defray  the  expenses  of  oanying

Dl  the  Cambridj^  Improvement  ActSt  and  to  require  paympnl  of  auj

be  repealed;  but  all  the  tolls  and  other  property  and  revenue  of  the  Itd- 
provetneiit  CotnmiMioners,  with  all  remedieB  for  the  recovery  thereof  and 
iturldeDtal  tUeretOf  to  be  vested  in  the  Mayor^  Alclt;rmen,  and  Bnrgefiaes,  in

liabilities  of  the  Commissioners;  all  other  powers  and  dutien  conferred  or 
t]iipo«ed  by  those  Acts  on  the  Commissioners  to  be  transferred  from  them  to 
Ibt  BC^jrcnr.  Aldermen^  and  BurgeB^es. 

2.  The  expence  of   pa\ing,    repairing,   dtaining,    cleanr^tng,    lighting, 
widening,  and  improving  the  Street<<,  to  be  a  charge  on  the  Borough  fond.

Tlmt  on  condition  the  property 
of  Uie  Univerrtity  be  asaeiifled  to 
loeal  nite»  in  common  with  all 
other  property  in  the  Town,  it 
^>pe(ira  expedient  to  entrust  the

Jointly. 

Thst  in  determining  the  rehitive 
ftnttiber  of  th«  representfttives  of

That  this  Board  fully  recognizes 
the  importance  of  a  speedy  estab- 
lisbment  of  amicable  relatiom^ 
between  the  University  and  the 
Town  ;  and  entertains  no  wish  or 
intention  to  interpoue  obstacles 
thereto. 


That  on  oondition  of  the  property

[1855 


either  body  at  rach  joint  Board, 
due  regard  ought  to  be  had  to 
the  amount  of  their  respeotive 
asseestnents. 


That  for  the  efficient  discharge  of 
the  ftmetions  of  the  joint  Board, 
it  seems  essential  that  it  shonld 
not  be  a  Urge  bod.y,  whilst  on 
the  other  baud  the  delegation  of 
extensive  powers  to  a  very  few 
persons  only  would  be  objection- 
able. 


That  having  regard  to  the  objects 
of  its  eonstitatkm,  this  Board  k 
of  opinion  il  cannot  consistent^ 
interpose  obstacles  to  the  speedy 
««tabli«bttent  of  amicable  rela- 
tivHis  betwven  the  Uni^nnsa^  and

to  submit  li>  any  arrangement 
which  the  Arbitrator  nu^  dwn 
of  pnbUe  adviuitage. 


to  local  rales  in  common  with  all 
other  property  in  the  Town,  this 
Board  is  willing  to  snbmit  to  sodi 
readJQstment  of  the  Qoota  now 
paid  by  the  University,  and  of 
the  numbtt  of  members  of  the 
University  to  be  deeted  to  this 
Board,  as  ihe  Arbitrator  may 
deem  proper. 

That  it  does  not  appear  to  this 
Board  expedient  to  repeal  the 
Cambridge  Improvement  Acts 
and  entrust  the  supervision  of 
the  Police  and  Stroeta  to  one 
Board,  the  duties  of  the  Watch 
Committee  and  of  the  Improve- 
ment Commissioners  being  dis- 
tinct and  of  mffieient  importance 
to  require  the  superintendence 
of  two  distinct  Boards. 
That  this  Board  has  not  been 
oonsolted  in  reiiranoe  either  to 
the  negotiations  pcndinghetween 
the  University  and  the  Town  or 
the  ClanMs  reeeiv«d  from  the

On  the  31  st  of  August,  Sir  John  Paiteaon  made  the  foUowmg  Aw«\nl 
as  to  the  matters  in  difference  between  the  University  and  Town. 

To  Uie  Vioe-Chancellor  of  the  University  of  Cambridge,  and  to  the  Mayor  of 

the  Borough  of  Cambridge. 

In  porBQance  of  the  Letter,  bearing  date  the  27tb  day  of  December, 
1854,  addressed  to  me  by  the  ChanceUor,  Masters,  and  Seholara  of  the  Uni- 
vemty  of  Cambridge,  and  the  Masters,  Fellows,  and  Scholars,  Masters  and 
Ff^llowB,  ProvoRt  and  Bcholars,  President  and  Fellows,  and  Master,  Professors,

and  sealed  with  their  rcvspeotive  aeals  (wherein,  after  reciting  that  differences

be  neeessary  for  the  purpose  of  making  my  Award  valid  and  binding  on  each

cousidered  the  same,  I  request  you  to  make  known  to  the  reapective  parties 
this  my  Award  in  writing  coucemiDg  the  premises,  that  is  to  say :

Secondly, 

J  Rward,  order,  and  direct,  thai  thp  Oflths  re<itjir(?d  to  ht^  ^alten  hy  certain 
Aldermen.  BurfresseB,  and  InLabitants  of  the  Town  of  Cambridge,  by  the 
Letters  Patent  of  King  Henry  the  Third  id  the  62nd  jear  of  his  reign  be 
jlbolisbed.  and  not  taken  henceforth. 

TInrdiy. 

I  am  of  opinion  that  tlie  i>owers  contained  in  the  28th  section  of  *' The 
Town  Police  Clauaes  Act.  1847/'  lOtb  A  lUh  Tictona,ch.  89  (wLicb  m  incor- 
pomtcd  into  the  "Cambridge  Corporation  Aet^  I860,"  13th  &  14th  Victoria, 
cb,  37,  by  the  3<Jth  sectionK  and  in  the  Vagrant  Act,  are  not  si^fticient  for 
the  preseiTaiion  of  decency  in  the  Btr^^etH,  and  generally  in  the  Borough  of 
Gambridge.  These  powers  in  tbe  Town  Police  Clauses  Act,  1847*  extend 
only  io  **  every  common  prostitute  or  night-walker  loitering  and  importuning 
PiMCPgerB  for  the  purpose  of  Proptitution,''  and  in  the  Vagrant  Act  only  to 
Ftostiiiites  behaving  riotouEly  or  indecently. 

Where  a  considerable  part  of  the  population  conaiatH  of  young  Men  at  a  very 
critical  time  of  Ufe,  with  strong  paMiona and  little  Belf-control,  greater  po^^ers 
most  neceaaarilj  be  given  to  some  authontiee,  as  well  to  refit  rain  the  young  Men 
themselves  I  as  to  guard  them  from  the  Folic  itations  of  ProetituteR,  and  also  to 
protect  the  res^pcctable  Inhabitants  of  the  Borough  from  molestation  and 
aDQcyanee.  The  Legislature  evidently  acted  upon  this  view  when  they  passed 
the  Statute  6th  Geo.  IV.  ch.  97*  with  regard  to  the  University  of  Oxford. 

Such  greater  powers  must  be  vested  either  in  the  Authorities  of  the 
University  or  the  Borough. 

I  find  tbem  already  vested  in  the  Authorities  of  the  University  by  their 
Charters  confirmed  by  Act  of  Parliament,  I  consider  them  to  b*  wisely  so 
vested,  and  that  it  would  not  be  proper  to  make  any  alteration  and  vest  these 
powers  in  the  Authorities  of  the  Borough. 

I  am  therefore  of  opinion,  and  I  award,  order,  and  direct,  that  the  power 
of  the  Proctors  be  continued  as  it  now  eitists, 

I  am  further  of  opinion,  thiit  the  acts  of  the  Proctors,  PrO'Proetor«»  and 
their  Men  in  the  exercise  of  such  powini  ought  not  to  be  subjected  to  the 
summary  juriailiction  of  the  Jusliee»  of  the  Peace  (assuming  for  the  sake  of  the 
argument  that  they  are  so  subjected  by  the  Statute  9th  Geo,  IV,,  ch.  31,  a,  27) ; 
not  because  I  think  that  there  is  any  ground  for  supposing  thatsuub  jariadiction 
would  not  be  exercised  with  impartiality,  but  because  I  think  it  wholly  ano- 
malons  and  improper  that  persons  acting  with  authority  should  be  placed 
under  any  sammary  jurisdiction. 

I  therefore  award,  order,  and  direct,  that  a  clause  be  inserted  in  the  proposed 
ktA  of  Parliament  for  establishing  this  my  Awards  exempting  the  Proctors, 
Pro-Proctors,  and  their  Men  from  such  summary  jurindiction  in  respect  of 
ai^  act  done  or  purporting  to  be  done  in  the  exerci&e  of  the  authority  of  the 
Plrocior ;  but  without  prejudice  to  the  right  of  any  person  to  proce^  against 
lbs  Proetora,  Pro -Proctors,  or  their  Men^  civilly  or  criminally  in  any  of  Her 
Mijeaty's  Courts.

I  awtird^  ord^T,  aud  dirocti  that  the  power  of  tbo  Yic^-Ch&ncellor  to  | 
Alehouse  Licences  within  the  Borough  of  Cftmbridge  b*-  abrot^aied,  aiibji 
the  provifiion  hereinafter  contained  with  respect  to  certain  of  such  LioenoliT" 
and  saving  to  the  Vice  -  Chancel  l<]r  the  same  power  a^  otber  Juaiices  of  the 
Peace  may  lawfully  exereiae. 

That  the  Justices  of  the  Peace  may  at  any  lime  revoke  any  Alehouae  Lioence 
within  the  Bomugh,  on  the  complaint,  in  wrliiiig,  of  the  Vice- Chan tiellor,  sent 
to  the  Clerk  of  the  Justice^^  who  nliall  forthwith^  on  the  receipt  of  such  eom- 
plaint,  suiomon  a  special  Beaaion  of  the  Justices  of  the  Peace  to  conaider  iha

order  that  he  may  make  hiu  answer  or  defenoe  at  Buoh  Special  Bejieion. 

Tliat  every  Alehouse  Licence  granted  by  any  Vice-Chanoellor,  and  now  in 
force,  Bhall  so  continoe  till  the  next  General  Annual  LicesBing  meeting,  mdeis 
Bmb  Licence  shall  previoufily  be  revoked  on  the  complaint  of  the  Vioe'Chan> 
fldlor  by  the  Jnstioes  of  the  Peace,  

Fifthly, 

I  award,  order,  and  direct,  that  the  power  of  grunting  Wine  Licences  within 
the  Borough  of  Cambridge,  shall  continue  in  and  he  exerciiied  by  the  ChonceUur, 
MaaterB,  and  Scbolars  of  the  University,  id  the  some  manner  »s  it  is  now 
exercised  under  ancient  nsage.  and  the  provisions  of  the  Statutes  10th  Geo.  IL 
ch.  19,  and  17th  Geo.  II.  eh.  iO;  but  I  award,  order,  and  direct,  that  for  the 
future,  no  annual  snm  whatever  shall  be  taken  by  the  University  from  the 
persons  to  whom  Wine  Licences  are  granted, 

I  see  no  reason  whatever  for  restricting  the  Chancellor,  Masters,  and 
Scholars  of  the  University  from  dele^gating  to  the  Vice  Chancellor  the  granting 
of  auch  Lieences,  nor  for  requiring  that  they  should  be  onder  the  Common 
Be&l  of  the  University. 

Sixthlif. 

I  award,  order,  and  direct,  that  aU  powers  and  authorities  with  respect  to 
the  supervision  of  WeighiB  and  MeaBures  in  the  Borough  (exeept  powen  and 
anthoritiee  incidental  to  the  ofllce  of  Inspector)  be  transferred  from  the  Univer- 
sity and  its  Officers  to  thu  Juntices  of  the  Peace  of  the  Borough. 

Thtit  the  Vice'ChanceilorBhnll  have  authority,  from  time  to  time,  to  appoint 
one  or  more  Inspector  or  Inspectors  of  Weights  and  Measures,  and  that  the 
Town  Council  of  the  Borough  shall  have  the  like  authority,  pro\ided  that  the 
number  of  Inspectors  appointed  by  each  body  be  the  same,  and  that  such  In* 
gpeotors  have  only  concurrent  power,  and  that  the  UniTersity  shall  provide 
from  its  own  funds  for  the  remuneration  of  every  Inspector  appointed  by  the 
Vice- Chancellor. 

Seventhly,

Eighthly* 

I  award,  order^  and  direct,  that  ali  Theatn^s  within  tlie  Borcagh  of  Cam- 
bridge abaJI  remain  ae  now  under  the  proviftioitH  of  the  Statute  (>ili  and  7th  Vtct, 
ch.  68.  By  the  word  "Theatre*i*'  I  mean  such  Buildings  as  would,  if  Bituate 
within  the  limits  of  the  Lord  C1i  amber  Iain's  jnrifidictic^n,  require  to  b€  licenBed 
by  him.  to  which  only  1  conceive  the  Statute  to  apply. 

As  to  other  oocasional  pubUc  eiLhibitions  or  perform ance^,  whether  strictly 
theatrical  or  nol«  I  award,  order,  and  direct,  that  a  clause  Rball  be  inserted  in 
the  Act  of  Parliament  to  be  applied  for  in  order  to  give  effect  to  my  Award,  pro- 
hibiting, under  a  penalty  of  Twenty  Poimd8,all  occasional  public  esdiibitions 
or  perfomiances  within  the  Borongb,  without  the  joint  consent  In  woting  of 
the  Vice- Chan  ceil  or  and  the  Mayor,  ezcept  at  the  Midsummer  and  Btur  bridge 
Faira  and  during  the  Long  Vacation. 

I  do  not  find  it  practicable  to  deine  or  enumerate  what  shall  be  considered 
M  Pnhlie  Exhibitiona  or  Perfomj&noea. 

Ninthly. 

I  am  of  opinion  that  the  power  of  Discoinmuning  Tradesmen,  or  rather  of 
prohibiting  persons  in  ittatit  pupillari  from  dealing  with  euiih  Tradesmen  as 
hare  infringed  or  not  oomplied  with  rulea  publicly  proclaimed  by  the  Autho- 
rities of  the  Univemity,  is  legal  and  onght  to  be  continued.  I  do  not  enter  into 
aoj  queation  ats  to  the  persons  who  ought  to  have  power  &om  time  to  time  to 
make  snoh  Enles.     This  I  consider  to  be  immaterial. 

t  am  of  opinion  that  the  power  onght  to  be  conliued  to  diacommuning,  and 
ought  not  to  extend  to  depriving  any  person  of  a  Wine  Licence. 

I  am  of  opinion  that  it  uhould  be  exercised  as  it  now  ir,  not  in  an  open  court, 
or  as  a  judicial  proceeding,  nor  with  the  right  on  the  part  of  the  Tradesman  of 
afpMring  by  eooxiael  or  attorney,  and  that  there  should  be  no  appeal  Notice 
■hoQld  however  be  given  to  the  Trade^man^  in  reepect  to  whom  the  power  is 
ptopoaed  to  be  exercised,  in  order  tliat  he  may  attend,  if  he  thinks  tit,  to  show 
thai  the  Bules  have  not  been  infring<;d,or  to  explain  the  circumstances  under 
which  they  have  been  infringed.  I  therefore  award,  order,  and  direct,  that  the 
power  of  disoommuning  be  continued  with  the  limitation  above  stated. 

Trntltttj. 

I  am  of  opinion  that  the  Decrees  of  Heads  of  Collegea  objected  to,  are, 
itriotly  speaking,  legal ;  and  that  there  ia  no  ground  for  treating  them  as 
being  in  the  nature  of  a  conspiracy. 

But  I  think  that  any  interference  with  the  creditor's  legal  remedy  by  action, 
til]  he  shall  have  given  notice  to  the  University  Anthoritie«,  ought  to  be  pro- 
hibited ;  and  I  award,  order,  and  direct,  that  no  rule  to  that  effect  shall  here- 
4ner  be  made,  and  that  the  Bute  of  the  18th  May,  1844,  be  reaemded. 

I  do  not  enter  into  the  question  as  to  the  policy  or  eSiewoy  of  sumptuary 
law*,  on  which  much  diftorenoe  of  opinion  exista ;  but  I  hold  it  necessary  that 
there  should  be  a  discretionary  power  in  the  Authorities  of  the  University,  in 
regard  to  the  dealings  of  peraone  in  $tatu  pupillari*

extend  to  any  case  in  which  any  person  ^ho  h  not  a  Member  of  the  UniTcraity

Vioe-Chancellor ;  and  in  such  case,  and  ako  in  the  case  of  any  diamissal,  by  any 
Justice  of  the  Peace,  of  any  charge  against  any  Menaher  of  the  Univeraity,  the

Tice-Chancellor  for  a  copy  of  the  depoFitione,  famieh  such  copy  io  the  Vice- 
Chancellor  without  making  any  charge  for  the  same* 

I  award,  order,  and  direct,  that  the  Vice-Chanoellor  ahall  send  to  the  To 
Clerk  a  duplicate  or  copy  of  every  Certificate  of  the  appointment  of  a  Constabto

I  am  of  opinion  that  no  part  of  the  University  or  of  any  of  th«  OoUigat  ii

I  am  of  opinion  that  the  Pariphes  of  Bt  John  the  Baptist  and  of  St  Bhade-

the  Cambridge  Union,  or  otherwise  than  to  the  respective  Parishes  in  which 
their  property  is  situate.  It  may  be  very  desirable  that  all  the  Parishes  in 
Cambridge  should  be  united  for  the  purpose  of  rating,  but  I  am  of  opinion  that 
it  IS  not  within  the  scope  of  my  authority  to  make  any  award  to  that  effect,

meaning  of  the  Act,  50th  Geo.  IIL  ch.  85,  s,  2, 

That  no  Member  of  the  UniverFity  or  of  auy  College  shall,  by  reason  of  any 
imte  OD  the  property  occupied  by  the  University  or  by  such  College,  be  entitled 
to  be  eturoUed  aa  a  Burgees  of  the  Borough,  or  be  compellable  to  serve  any 
munieipal  or  parochial  office,  or  to  be  impannelled  on  any  Jury  or  Inquest,  or 
to  perform  any  aenrioe  imposed  on  ratepayers. 

Fi/teenthly. 

1  am  of  opinion  that  it  ifi  not  competent  to  me  to  award  or  order  any  altera- 
in  the  constitution  of  the  Board  of  Ci>miiii»8iuDers  under  the  Improvement 
Aelii,  or  the  transfer  of  their  powers  to  the  Mayor,  Aldermen,  and  Burgesses, 
or  to  nuy  other  body,  or  to  constitute  an  entirely  new  Board  of  Police  and 
Bt7«et  Ccmmlssionerfi,  especially  as  such  changes  ore  distinctly  objected  to  by 
the  Improvement  Commissioners  themselves^  who  are  not  parties  to  this 
Beference,  and  by  the  Town  Council  of  the  Borough. 

X  am  however  of  opinion  that  it  is  competent  to  mo  to  re-adjust  the  Quota 
to  be  oontributed  by  the  Uuiversity  to  the  expenses  under  the  Improvement 
Aot«,  such  Quota  having  been  fixed  at  a  time  when  the  University  and  CoUeges 
were  not  mted,  and  manifestly  not  considered  as  rateable,  to  the  Poor  and  other 
rates  in  the  respective  Parishes. 

I  am  of  opinion  that  it  is  much  better  that  the  University  and  CoUeges 
■hcmld  continue  to  contribute  their  quota  at  a  reduced  proportion  to  the  ex- 
piBoet  under  the  Improvement  Acts,  and  not  be  rated  towards  them  in  the 
ratei  MiDUally  or  otherwi^  made  by  the  Improvement  CommisBionerB  upon 
the  several  occupiers  within  the  Borough  of  Cambridge,  which  raten  I  consider 
lo  be  independent  of  and  unmixed  with  all  other  rates. 

I  therefore  award,  order,  and  direct^  that  so  much  of  the  Improvement  Acts 
aa  enacts  that  two-fifths  of  the  annual  Kum  or  sumB  to  be  ascertained  and  raised 
Qoder  tliose  Acts  shall  be  paid  by  or  on  account  of  tlie  University,  shall  be 
and  that  for  the  future,  cue- fourth  of  the  annual  sum  or  sums  which 
the  Improvement  Commissioners  shall  from  time  to  time  asoertain  and  dir^t  to 
bsnUsed,  shall  be  paid  by  or  on  account  of  the  Uuiversity  in  manner  and  under 
given  by  the  Improvement  Acts,  which  quota  shall  be  in  lien  and 
instead  of  juiy  as^sesament  or  rate  on  Ihv  Uuiversity  or  CoEeges;  and  that  no 
other  aAgassment  or  rate  shall  be  made  on  them  under  the  Improvement  Acts, 
and  ihat  the  mmaining  |>aJt  of  such  annual  Murn  or  huhih  .shull  W  paid  in  tlie 
manner  provided  by  those  Acts,

I  award,  order,  and  direct,  that  the  Watok  Cammtttee  of  the  Borough  shall 
in  future  be  ap|K>mted  annually^  and  shall  ooiiaist  of  the  Mayor  and  nine  other 
Memhera  of  the  Town  Council,  and  of  6 ve  Members  of  the  Univeraity  beiDg 
Members  of  the  Hen  ate,  to  be  appomted  by  Ibe  Seuate. 

That  the  Mayor  shall  be  Chairman,  a  ad  have  a  casting- vote ;  and  (hat  in  tho 
abaenae  of  the  Mayor,  a  Chairman  shall  be  chosen  by  the  Members  of  Ihe 
Committee  present  at  any  Meeting'. 

That  the  determination  of  the  uumberr  the  appoinlmont,  dismieeal,  and 
entire  management  aud  direction  of  the  Police  Force  of  the  Borough  shall  be 
vesto^d  in  Hiich  Watch  Committee. 

I  do  not  think  it  right  that  the  Watch  Committee  should  have  the  power 
of  making  orderw  for  the  paynitvnt  of  money  out  of  the  Borough  Fund;  nor  that 
the  Town  Council  shouM  be  compelled  by  any  legiahiittve  euaetment  to  make 
distinct  and  separate  Bates  for  distinct  and  sopftrate  purpoMS.  This  must  be 
left  to  their  discretion. 

But  as  the  University  and  Colleges  will  in  future  contribute  to  the  Bates,  and 
yet  no  Member  of  the  University  or  of  any  College  will  be  compellable  to  serve 
any  municipal  or  parochial  office,  and  so  the  University  and  Colleges  will  not  be 
reprcRented  in  the  Town  Council,  nor  have  any  direct  control  over  the  expendi- 
ture, it  is  ri}^ht  Ihdt  some  means  should  be  devised  for  giving  them  the  know- 
ledge of  intended  expenditure,  and  of  urging  any  objections  they  may  have  to 
it,  as  well  as  the  right  of  removing  orders  for  payment  of  money  into  the  Court 
of  Queen's  Bench,  under  7  Wm.  IV,  and  Ist  Vict.  di.  78,  s.  44. 

I  have  considered  much  what  is  the  best  mode  of  eflfecting  this  object,  and 
I  award,  order,  and  dire<st,  that  the  University  shall  annually  appoint  three 
Memberi^  of  the  Senate  to  audit  the  Borough  Treasurer's  Account,  conjointly 
with  the  Borough  Auditors,  under  the  Acts  5^0  Wm,  IV.  ch.  76,  and  7  Wm, 
IV,  aud  1st  Vict,  ch,  78. 

That  the  Vice-CbanccUor  or  his  locum-tenens,  and  the  Head  of  every  College 
or  his  locumtenens,  shall  have  all  the  privileges  oonferrtMl  on  any  Burgess  or  on 
any  Alderman  or  Councillor,  by  the  Acts  3*6  Wm.  IV.  oh,  76,  a.  93,  and  7th 
Wm.  IV.  and  Ist  Vict.  ch.  7ft,  s,  22,  or  by  this  Awards  and  shall  be  deemed  inte* 
rested  in  the  Borongh  Fund,  within  the  intent  and  moaning  of  the  44th  section 
of  the  last-mentioned  Act,  aud  of  this  Award. 

That  all  questions  concerning  the  payment  of  money  out  of  the  Borough 
Fund  shall  be  submitted  to  the  Finance  Committee  of  the  Town  Connoi),  one 
week  at  least  before  they  are  brought  under  the  oonsideration  of  the  Town 
Oouacih 

That  the  University  Auditors  shall  have  three  days'  notice  of  every  Meetiag 
of  the  Finance  Committee,  and  of  the  business  to  be  transacted  at  such  Meeting; 
and  shall  he  at  liberty  to  attend,  or  any  one  or  more  of  them  to  attend,  at  such 
Meetings  and  to  be  heard  on  the  matters  and  business  then  brought  forward, 
but  not  to  have  any  right  of  voting. 

I  am  aware  that  such  functions  are  not  projierly  those  of  Au<litor8,  but  I 
am  of  opinion  tliat  it  is  better  that  they  shcmld  in  this  caw  be  vested  in  the 
University  Auditors,  than  in  any  agent  of  the  Viee-Chanoellor.

This  Valuation  occasioned  general  surprise,  and  the  Council,  on  the 
10th  of  November,  resolved  unanimously  that  it  was  most  imsatis- 
factory,  inasmuch  as  the  University  and  College  property  was  estimated 
very  much  below  its  real  value,  and  that  the  valuation  would  therefore 
to  a  great  extent  nullify  one  of  the  most  important  provisions  of  the 
Award  Act,  for  a  period  of  three  years  at  least,  and  would  during  that 
period  throw  upon  the  Town  exclusively  burthens  amounting  to  about 
£2000  per  annum,  which,  according  to  the  Act,  ought  to  be  borne  by 
the  University  and  Colleges. 

The  Board  of  Guardians  having  employed  Messrs  J.  R.  Mann  and

1866]  VICTORIA.  24.S 

Physician  of  the  Westminster  Hospital,  a  most  distinguished  honour 
for  so  yoimg  a  man.  He  soon  afterwards  however  resigned  this 
situation  and  removed  to  Falmouth.  He  distinguished  himself  there 
by  establishing  the  Royal  Geological  Society  of  Cornwall,  the  earliest 
institution  of  the  kind  in  the  kingdom.  He  also  invented  the  Vamping 
Car.  This  simple  but  admirable  invention  enables  the  miner  to  pursue 
his  business  amid  inflammable  gases  without  the  fear  of  striking  fire 
from  the  rock.  He  returned  to  London  in  1810,  and  thenceforward  for 
above  45  years  practised  as  a  Physician  in  the  Metropolis.  He  was 
elected  President  of  the  College  of  Physicians  1844,  and  held  the 
situation  up  to  the  time  of  his  death.  He  was  not  only  a  physician  of 
the  highest  eminence,  but  an  author  of  distinguished  reputation.  His 
Life  of  Sir  Humphry  Davy  is  a  work  of  great  interest  and  merit,  and 
the  work  on  Medical  Jurisprudence  written  by  him,  conjointly  with  Mr 
Foublanque,  is  still  highly  esteemed.  His  Treatise  on  Diet,  which  first 
brought  him  into  notice,  has  had  many  editions,  as  has  his  Pharmaco- 
logia.  He  also  wrote  on  Medical  Chemistry,  and  his  Philosophy  in 
Sport)  which  was  published  anonymously,  has  obtained  enormous 
popularity.  Dr  Paris  was  esteemed  one  of  the  most  disinterested, 
honourable,  and  able  men  who  have  ever  practised  the  Profession  of 
Medicine.0)

About  this  time  died  Thomas  de  Cantebrig,  who  is  supposed  to 
have  been  a  native  of  this  town :  he  was  an  officer  in  the  Exchequer  in 
the  reign  of  Edward  I.,  and  was  appointed  a  Baron  of  that  Court,  Sept 
16,  1307;  and  Oct.  24,  1308,  had  a  Patent  authorizing  him  to  take  the 
place  of  William  de  Carleton  the  senior  Baron  when  absent,  and  to  sit 
next  him  when  present.  He  continued  one  of  the  Barons  of  the 
Exchequer  till  July  17,  1310,  but  his  removal  appears  to  have  arisen 
from  his  services  being  more  valuable  in  another  character ;  for  during 
the  time  he  held  the  office,  and  for  several  years  afterwards,  he  was 
employed  in  foreign  negociations.  As  he  was  in  holy  orders  it  is

contended  on  the  part  of  Clare  Hall,  Trinity  Hall,  and  King's  College,  that 
the  instrnments  in  question  operated  merely  as  a  union  of  the  two  benefices,

waste  or  refuse  fat.  Raf  is  still  used  to  denote  refuse,  and  hence  the  phrase

The  following  Letter  from  the  Vi»itora  relates  to  the  iiiteudod  imiou 
of  the  two  Colleges ; 

It  may  please  your  grace  to  be  advertised,  that,  according  as  it  wta 
committed  unto  us»  we  have  diligently  tnivailed  in  tluB  present  visitation  of 
the  university;  and,  proceeding  in  the  same,  from  college  to  college,  are  now 
passed  Clare  Hall,  the  state  whereof  them  two  days  we  have  throughly 
pervised  and  cummuncd  with  the  company.  Aud,  bccaose  the  same  honae 
doth  contain  one  of  the  chief  points  that  we  have  in  commandment,  we  have 
tiiought  it  good  to  certify  your  grace  of  our  proceeding  therein,  what  we  have 
done,  what  answir  we  have  reeeivt^d  of  the  nia*iter  and  fellows  there,  and 
what  stay  we  have  taken  hitherto  amongst  them. 

At  our  coming  thither,  calling  the  master  and  fellows  aeverally  before  agf 
v^e  declared  unto  them,  ab  we  had  in  instructions,  that  it  was  the  king's 
majeBtyV  pleasure  to  alter  tlieir  house,  tu  unite  it  and  Trinity  H&U  together, 
and  of  them  to  make  one  college  of  civil  law ;  and  that  we  would,  aooording 
to  bis  highnesses  will  and  commandment,  ptovide  for  the  master  and  every 
fellow  and  scholar  of  the  house,  no  as  he  should  be  well  contented,  dcdring 
their  conformity  and  consent  that  they  will  be  ready  with  their  good-witl  to 
accompliMh  the  king's  majesty's  foresaid  pleasure.  Whereunto  their  answer 
was,  that  they  were  well  contented  that  the  king's  majesty*a  pleasane  for  the 
alteration  of  their  house  should  take  effect,  and  that  they  would  be  ready  to 
depart  and  give  place.  Marry,  they  would  not  tbenaselveB  by  their  consent 
surrender  or  give  up  their  house  '*  because,*'  say  they,  "  we  be  sworn  to  the

appointed  of  God  aod  indued  with  eitcellent  gifts  of  graee  to  set  forth  Gods 
word  to  whom  (in  my  judee^ent)  not  only  the  Kinges  Majestie  and  his

eoofltaiil  maintenance  and  defenBe  of  Goddes  treuth  when  Papists  perscqution

purely  and  bo  ernestly  and  frely  rebuketh  the  worlde  of  his  wickednes<4. 
Alexander^  if  I  do  right  rcm^timber  tin*  hiMtory,  in  the  victorouse  course  of  his

advise  shall  alao  excelle  that  geotyl  Prince  in  all  kynd  of  mercy  and 
clemency. 

Thus  I  am  moved  to  make  mj  moRt  humble  p«iitioo  nnto  Your  Graod 
not  BO  much  for  the  etudeuts  of  that  eollege  now  being  (r>f  the  which,  if  the

that  rtome  of  them  are  worthy  to  be  expiihed  both  thpuse  and  out  of  the

EiH  for  the  study  of  God'is  word,  that  it  may  acoording  to  the  godly  will  o(

Finally  if  it  shall  be  other  wise  seen  unto  Your  Graces  wysdome,  then  I 
beseech  Your  Grace  to  give  me  leve  with  Your  Graces  favor  soe  to  ordre 
myself,  or  by  min  abscencc  thenae  for  the  time,  or  by  my  i^ilence  that  I  ahall

Then  things  thus  moved  I  have  also  the  more  boldly  writen  onto  Your 
Grace^  because  Your  Grace  (as  ine  thought  most  godly  moved)  willed  and 
commanded  onoo  me  in  Your  Graces  gallery  at  London,  so  to  do,  by  my

On  the  Ist  of  June,  William  Clarke,  M. A,  "  Prsdector  Juris  Civilis 
Regius,"  in  the  name  of  the  University  complained  to  Dr  Hawford, 
Deputy  Vice-Chancellor,  that  Roger  Slegge,  one  of  the  Aldermen,  had 
infringed  the  privileges  of  the  University  by  suing  Thomas  Tooley  and 
William  Tomson,  scholars'  servants,  in  the  Court  of  Hustings,  London, 
in  an  action  of  trespass.  After  various  proceedings,  it  was  agreed  on 
the  22nd  of  June  that  the  case  should  be  referred  to  Drs  Hawford  and 
Ithell  and  Mr  Leeds  as  Arbitrators,  who  were  to  put  an  end  to  the  suit 
in  21  days,  otherwise  the  Vice-Chancellor  would  give  sentence.  On  the 
27tb  July,  the  Vice-Chancellor  adjudged  that  Alderman  Slegge  had 
imjustly  vexed  Thomas  Tooley  "  contrary  to  the  priviledge  granted  to 
the  University  by  the  Queens  Majesty,"  and  condemned  the  Alderman 
in  the  costs  as  well  of  the  suit  in  London  as  of  the  suit  in  the  Vice- 
Chancellor's  Court,  and  pronounced  an  interlocutory  sentence  to  the 
same  effect  as  respected  Tomson,  if  it  could  be  proved  he  were  a 
scholar's  servant,  or  privileged  when  the  suit  commenced.  Alderman 
Slegge  appealed  in  Tooley 's  case  to  delegates,  who  on  the  16th  of  August 
confirmed  the  sentence.(^)

of  Cambr.  into  one,  or  otherwjse  for  the  QoitiaK  of  them  into  perpetoall 
coucord :  wheretmto  when  he  bad  answered,  that  his  conscience  moved  him 
to  deny  hia  conBt?nt,  being  a  matter  (aa  he  tooke  yt)  tendiug  to  the  breach  of 
the  liberttefi  of  the  Towue,  and  directtye  against  bia  uath,  the  tenor  ithereof

devjse  of  the  matters,  could  be  no  breaoh  of  Jibertiea.  nor  prejndioe  to  th« 
town*  but  rather  benefit,  wherby  to  avoyd  all  oocasiona  of  discord  between 
the  Uulversitye  and  the  said  towne*  the  Maior  was  then  well  contented  to 
yeitd*  and  thereupon  was  ordered  by  consent  of  all  parties*  as  well  of  oertaifi 
tlie  Aldermen  of  the  said  towne,  as  of  others  for  the  Univeraitye,  that  he 
should  confer  therin  with  the  rest  of  the  ComnQlBsioners.  And  it  being 
objected  unto  the  said  Blegge*  that  he  had  councelled  the  Maior  to  be  of  the

was,  whome  the  Lords  tberfore  admonished*  and  chargeil  to  be  henceforth 
no  diHturber  of  so  Rood  a  purpose,  as  was  hereby  intended  hf  the  wyser  and

others  of  the  company*  that  be  bad  affirmed  this  intention  of  nnitinge  the 
said  Iwo  Corporations  into  one,  to  be  very  good  and  profitable  for  both,  and 
that  when  the  matter  should  l>e  propounded  openlye  to  the  Commons,  he 
would  be  able  to  bring  the  consent  of  four  Commoners  to  every  one  that 
other  the  Aldermen  ahonld  bring*  which  in  the  end  he  did  nut  denye*  and  so 
submitted  himself  to  accord  with  the  order,  for  conference  to  be  had.

On  the  I4th  of  February,  Edward  Lord  Zouch  oomplained  to  Dr 
Relke,  Vice-ChaDcellor,  that  Mr  Fletcher  had,  in  the  Bogent  Hooae, 
spoken  these  injurious  words  against  him,  "My  Loide,  aedng  jou 
"  excepte  agaynst  hym  and  not  pose  hym,  Before  Qod  I  would  he  mi^t

Fletcher  appeared,  confessed  the  charge,  and  submitted  himself  to  the 
will  and  pleasure  of  the  Vice-Chanoellor  and  his  assistants.  The  Vioe- 
Chanoellor,  with  six  of  the  Heads  and  the  consent  of  the  accused, 
decided  that  Mr  Fletcher  should  submit  to  the  determination  of  the 
Vice-chancellor,  Dr  Whitgift^  and  Lord  Zouch ;  who  concluded  that  Mr 
Fletcher  should  at  the  next  congregation  confess  in  the  Regent  House, 
that  in  speaking  the  above  words  he  ''dyd  rashlye  and  unadvisedlye 
"  abuse''  Lord  Zouch,  and  desire  his  Lordship  heartily  to  forgive  his  rash 
speech;  but  afterwards  Lord  Zouch  willingly  forgave  the  injury  and 
dispensed  with  Mr  Fletcher's  submission  or  confe88ion.(*)

are  compelled  to  fly  nnto  yonr  honors  aathority.  For  whereas  the  tenth  day 
of  the  present  month  of  June,  by  fundation,  the  pricking  of  two  regentes  to 
every  of  the  fewer  common  lectures,  viz.  philosophy,  rhetorick,  logic,  and 
mathematics,  was  tlien  to  be  done  per  praepositos  collegiomm,  two  doctors  of 
the  towne,  being  no  heads  of  Colleges,  were  ready  to  intrude  themseltes  to 
prick  with  us ;  but  being  gainsayd,  by  virtue  of  express  words  of  oar  statute, 
and  by  consent  of  all  the  Heads  of  Colleges  that  were  present,  at  length  they 
gave  place:  yet  the  next  day  following,  a  congregation  being  called  and 
continued  to  the  afternoon,  at  evening  prayer,  when  all  men  were  at  home 
at  the  service,  except  a  few  regentes  and  non -regentes,  two  graces  were  then 
propounded,  the  copies  thereof  ready  to  be  shewed  by  the  bearer ;  the  one, 
that  all  doctors  of  the  town,  being  no  Masters  of  Colleges,  should  also  prick 
with  them  in  the  nomination  of  the  Vice-ohancellour,  of  the  lecturers,  and  of 
all  other  officers ;  the  other,  to  binde  masters  of  Colleges  to  the  combination 
of  preaching,  both  in  the  Sundaye,  in  the  afternoon  and  holydays,  which  are 
expressly  contrary  to  our  statutes  given  us  by  the  Queene^s  majestie,  ready 
also  to  be  shewed:  not  one  master  of  a  College  present,  or  knowing  or 
suspecting  any  such  matter.  For  the  Vice-chancellor  hath  so  often  openly 
protested  that  he  would  never  go  about  or  do  anything  without  oounsell  and 
assent  of  the  heades,  that  we  could  never  think  of  any  such  deceit. 

And  although  we  know  both  these  graces  to  be  of  no  force,  being  oontraiy 
to  our  authorised  statutes,  and  therefore,  when  occasion  shall  be  offered, 
intend,  under  your  honors  favour,  to  withstand  them,  as  void,  and  tending 
to  sedition  both  in  the  Universitye  and  private  Colleges,  weakening  of  our 
goverment  and  countenance,  aud  overthrowing,  and  giving  boldness  to 
overthrow,  all  statutes  now  and  hereafter  made,  if  such  stolen  graces  and 
close  and  pevish  practices,  opposite  to  our  statutes,  should  be  suffered.  Tet, 
forasmuch  as  by  this  their  doing  they  may  carry  a  countenance  of  statutes, 
and  thereby  hereafter  breed  contention  amongst  us;  we  thought  it  our  dutiee 
with  speed  to  declare  these  dangerous  dealings  unto  your  lordship,  that  upon 
the  view  of  a  few  wordes  of  our  statutes,  to  be  f>hewed  by  the  bearer,  it  might 
please  your  lordship  to  direct  your  letters  to  the  Vice-chancellor,  regentes, 
and  non-regontes,  to  the  effect  above  said,  which  shall  not  only  check  these 
rash  attempts,  but  also  be  a  warning  to  them  hereafter  not  to  pass  the  like 
without  just  consultation  before.  And  as  for  the  doctors  (being  no  masters 
of  Colleges),  they  are  admitted  to  all  consultations  among  us;  but  being  thus 
admitted,  they  would  proceed  further  to  meddle,  where  certain  persons  only 
are  appointed  to  be  doers  by  our  statutes.  And  thus,  giving  thanks  for  yonr 
lordships  great  pains  and  manifold  benefits  unto  this  our  University,  we

About  this  time,  Tobias  Blande,  B.A.(')  of  Corpus  Christi  College, 
published  an  infamous  and  blasphemous  libel,  to  the  dishonour  of  God, 
directed  against  Dr  Norgate,  master  of  his  college,  and  reflecting  as 
vehemently  suspected  upon  an  honourable  personage  (apparently  Sir 
Francis  Walsingham).  It  was  entitled,  A  Necessary  Cathechisme,  to 
be  red  every  Sunday  mominge,  and  began  In  the  name  of  the  fiEttber, 
the  sonn,  and  the  old  wiffe,  etc.  He  was  found  by  the  master  and 
fellows  to  be  the  author,  and  for  part  of  his  punishment  be  made 
open  confession  of  that  fact  before  the  master,  the  fellows,  and  all 
the  scholars,  and  after  confession  so  made  he  was  put  to  shame  of 
sitting  in  tho  stocks,  and  then  expelled  and  banished  the  College. 
Dr  Norgate  sent  a  bill  to  every  master  of  a  College,  declaring  the 
fact  and  the  punishment,  lest  any  of  them  ignorantly  might  receive 
him  into  their  Colleges.  Two  years  afterwards  (when  Dr  Noi^te 
was  Vice-Chancellor)  Blande  made  an  attempt  to  obtain  the  degree  of 
M.A.,  which  was  denied  him.i**)

1.  That  the  oath  contayneth  no 
limitations  of  time:  yt  ys  to  con- 
tinue his  life  that  taketh  yt. 


1 .  The  first  exception  the  Qniver- 
^  siiie  sayth  that  an  oath  in  matters 
mere  civill  ys  no  further  to  be 
stretched  then  either  in  the  forme 
of  the  oath  ys  expressed  or  by  lawe 
ys  established,  or  by  necessary  cir- 
cumstances may  be  employed.  Now 
Mr  Wendye  granteth  (as  most  true 
yt  ys)  that  the  forme  of  the  oathe 
doth  not  expresslye  bynde  dnringe 
life ;  and  the  Universitye  sayeth  no 
more  doth  any  lawe  of  hed-borowes, 
churchwardens,  constables,  bayliffs, 
maiors,  stewards,  justices  of  peace, 
and  other  such  like,  are  understood 
only  during  the  tyme  of  such  their 
offices;  so  ought  this  likewise  of 
the  sheriffe.  And  that  appeareth 
also  by  the  very  plain  words  of  the 
oath  ;  for  whereas  every  sheriffs  oath 
begineth  thus :  You  shall  swere  that 
well  and  truly  you  shall  serve  the 
queue  in  the  office  of  sheriffe,  etc.; 
the  particular  addition  for  the  Uni- 
versitye foUoweth  immediately  in 
these  words:  and  also  yow  shall 
swere  that  the  masters  and  the 
scbolers  of  the  Universitye,  etc 
yow  shall  kepe  and  defend,  etc 
Now  this  wurd  also  implyeth  the 
like  condition  as  afore,  viz.  in  the 
office  of  the  sheriff.  Again  other 
words  of  the  oath  import  as  much ; 
for  the  oath  suyeth :  He  shall  punish 
the  diBturbers  and  breakers  of  the 
peace  ther,  etc. :  which  being  out 
of  office  he  cannot  do.  And  that 
this  is  the  true  meaning  of  that  and 
all  like  oathes,  the  Universitye  re- 
ferreth  to  the  wyse  and  indifferent 
judgment  of  the  learned  in  the 
lawes.  And  yet  ex  superabundanti 
the  universitye  addeth,  that  of  all 
other  men,  Mr  Wendye  should  least 
have  made  this  exception,  who  hav- 
ing bene  sometyme  a  soholer  in  the 
Universitye  and  ther  matriculated 
was    sworn    in   express    words    to

2.  To  the  pecond  the  Univergitye 
replyeth.  tlxat  the  pretended  con- 
trarycty  ya  not  well  eollected,  for 
yt  ys  a  common  and  known  rale  in 
lawe,  in  toto  jure  generi  per  speciem 
deroRfttur  ;  <»o  that  although  the  firRt 
part  of  his  oath  be  generall  to  ex- 
ecute all  prooeaa  directed  to  bim, 
yet  the  second  part,  byoding  hira 
to  observe  the  Universitye  charters, 
ys  an  express  limitation  to  the  tirat. 
And  albeit  the  second  oathes  were 
wholly  omitted,  yet  conld  not  the 
generall  words  of  the  first  suffi- 
ciently warrant  him  to  eiecote  or- 
dinary writtes  in  places  exempted  ; 
and  that  is  evidently^  seen  in  day  lye 
practice  thoroweout  the  realme,  as 
here  within  the  Isle  of  Ely,  in  Kent, 
within  tbe  Cinque  Ports,  etc.:  and 
as  for  the  Univerfiitye  privileges  the 
law  dotb  dully  prohibit  him  ao  to 
deale  against  them.  That  law  we 
say  which  of  all  politick  lawes  ji 
in  this  realm  of  higheHt  nature,  that 
ys  the  act  of  parHament  whereby 
n\]  our  privileges  and  charters  are 
confirmed.  So  that  the  sheiiffe 
under  colour  of  the  geuemll  woid^ 
of  hi  a  oiith,  execute  his  ordinary 
writs  against  those  chiirterw  :  and 
yf  he  should  attempt  bo  to  doe,  he 
should  in  very  dede  violate  the  true 
meaning  of  his  oathe,  whereby  he

lawe.  Nam  id  demum  possum  us

breach  of  the  Uwe  In  the  breach

Dr  Copcot,  Vice-Chanoellor,  aiid  Huiiii>hrey  Titidali^  D.D*  It  would 
«ecm  by  the  following  Letter  from  Dr  Peme  to  the  Lorda  of  the  Council, 
that  Mr  Peyton  also  declined  to  tiike  the  oath ; 


I 


This  is  the  foarth  tyme,  right  honourable,  that  I  have  bene  u*ni  from 
the  University  of  Cambridge  to  wayt  open  this  honourable  table  for  the  lyke 
caai»e ;  and  theae  hate  bene  the  orders  taken  at  all  thes  tymes.  The  6ri»t 
was  in  the  iime  of  good  king  Edwiird  tbe  Sixth  ;  when  the  maior  of  Cambridge 
and  the  ander-sheriffe  had  let  out  ol  prison  euch  priBonert^  as  were  taken  in 
the  night  watch  by  the  proctors  of  the  universitye.  The  good  kinge  did  then 
tend  to  his  councell  hli;  godly  Bchoolmaster,  Sir  John  Chekc,  requiring  them 
to  lender  the  universityc  of  Cambridge,  as  they  loved  him.  What  order  wa» 
taken  doth  here  appear  under  their  hands. 

2.  The  second  tyme  wa«  when  the  townsmen  bad  deliveied  Searle  out 
of  prison ;  for  the  which  the  said  Searle  and  Slegge,  Wallis  and  Dormer, 
were  committed,  aome  to  the  Fleet,  some  to  the  Marshalflye^  aa  my  lord 
ireaflnrer  doth  know.  For  the  which  justice  the  queens  majesty  did  thank 
the  old  lord  treasurer  hartel>e. 

B.  The  third  iyme  was  when  yt  was  thought  good,  not  only  to  the  lordea 
of  her  majesties  privy  councell,  but  also  to  all  the  aldermen  of  the  town  of 
Uauibridge,  and  Hlegge  and  Kimball  only  excepted,  for  the  avoyding  of  the 
continuall  contention  and  difference  betwixt  the  Univer^itye  and  the  towne, 
to  reduce  both  the  bodies  of  the  Universitye  and  the  towne  to  be  governed 
under  one  hedd;  that  ys  tbe  chancellor  of  th'  nniverattye  :  which  effect  of  a 
godtj  onion  was  then  only  hindred  by  the  8utd  Slegge  and  by  Kimball,  then 
maior,  yet  ruled  by  Sl«gge. 

4.  This  last  tyme  and  present  tyme  I  am  sent  lykewise  by  the  said 
Universitye ;  for  that  tlie  two  last  dheiiffs,  Mr  Wendye  and  Mr  Payton,  had  not 
only  refused  to  take  the  uutient  oath  (part  of  the  i^heri^es  oathe),  in  contempt 
of  12  of  your  honours  lettrest  but  al»o  for  breaking  of  the  princes  charters, 
yeven  for  the  mayntenanec  of  the  peace  and  quiet  Btndies  of  the  Universitye; 
the  which  oatbe  I  am  perswaded  that  Mr  Wendye  would  have  taken,  yf  he 
had  not  bene  otherwise  perswaded  by  Mr  Pajton,  now  high  AherifTe,  and 
other  inch  freemen  of  the  towiie  of  Cambridge ;  and  tbat  Mr  Paytou  would 
not  have  refused  simply  to  take  the  said  oath  for  the  preserving  of  the 
charters  of  the  Universitye  (the  which  oath  [he]  did  take  with  a  protestation, 
as  Mr  Dr  Hnssye  and  one  Peterson  have  reported  and  confessed  openly  before 
my  loidee  grace  of  Canterbury),  nor  yet  would  have  sent  his  sonu  from  his 
learning  ttcm  the  nniversitye,  because^  as  he  sayd,  he  would  not  have  his 
atdast  spnn  sworn  to  the  lit>erlie8  of  the  universitye,  who  might  be  called  to 
be  ahcritfe  after  him,  if  that  Mr  Slegge,  his  oaate  of  Cambridge,  had  not  bene 
so  larval  of  all  hia  coonceU.    Bnt  Qod  called  that  sonu  before  be  was  sheriffe;

for  that  there  have  bene  more  saytes  and  breaches  of  our  charters  in  ihes 
two  sheriffs  tymes,  in  eyther  of  the  universities,  then  have  bene  many  dayes 
before.  The  Universitye  of  Oxford  have  obteyned  their  sheriffe  to  be  qnietlye 
swome,  as  he  hath  bene  heretofore  ;  so  the  Universitye  of  Cambridge  doth 
most  litimbly  pray  your  honoar  that  the  sheriffe  of  Cambridgeshire  hereafter 
may  be  likewise  swome  to  kepe  the  privileges  of  the  Universitye.  And 
although  the  maior  of  the  town  of  Cambridge  (of  which  corporation  Mr 
Payton  ys  a  sworne  man)  have  most  cruelly  bamed  both  this  and  the  rest  of 
our  antient  privileges  of  the  Universitye,  which  cannot  therefore  now 
originally  be  shewed,  because  the  freemen  of  Cambridge  did  malitiously 
bum  them,  as  appereth  of  ancient  record  to  be  shewn  ;  yet  the  University  of 
Cambridge  doth  humbly  praye  that  the  causes  being  like  in  both  Universities, 
and  the  ancient  copies  of  the  said  charters  being  all  one,  and  the  antient 
record  in  the  crown  office  doth  make  yt  an  evident  part  of  the  sheriffes  oath, 
as  well  of  Cambridge  as  of  Oxford,  that  the  said  sheriffes  may  be  lykewise 
sworn  hereafter  for  the  keepinge  of  the  charters  of  the  Universities.  And  so 
shall  we  of  both  the  Universities  dayly  praye  to  thallmightye  God  for  your 
honours  godly  longe  preservation.

Lord  Burghley  thereuiwn  wrote  as  follows  "to  the  bodye  of  the 
"  Universitie." 

After  my  hartie  commendaoions :  I  have  receaved  with  verie  greate 
grief e  of  mynde  some  underKtandinge  of  the  late  disorders  hapened  amonge 
you  in  your  regent  house,  a  place  ordayned  for  publique  assemblies  and 
consultacions  for  the  common  and  generall  causes  concerning  the  body  of 
the  Universitie,  which  I  am  sorrie  to  heare  is  turned  through  these  late 
misdemeanors  into  a  place  of  tumulte,  in  such  sorte  as,  setting  open  force 
and  violence  aside,  I  knowe  not  what  disorder  could  be  more  outrageoQs, 
and  yet  considering  the  circumstances,  though  force  and  vyolence  be  in  all 
persons  and  places,  yea  in  all  causes,  unlawfull,  these  your  late  proceadings, 
by  opposinge  yourselves  to  a  publique  magistrate  in  his  place  of  civill  juris- 
diction, may  seeme  much  more  odious,  which  nether  as  chauncellor  of  the 
Universitie  I  may  with  my  duty  suffer  in  yow  towardes  my  depntie,  nor  for 
a  counselor  to  her  majestie  (from  whom  all  authoritie  is-deryved)  lea?e 
unproseouted  with  such  condigne  punishment  as  so  greate  enormities  ha?e 
deserved.  And  therefore,  as  your  chancellor,  and  by  virtue  of  my  office,  I 
require  you,  the  heades  and  governors  of  the  coUedges,  that  according  to  the 
greatnes  of  the  faultes  in  the  particnlers  who  have  bene  either  authors  or 
actors  therin,  there  may  be  such  severitie  used  as  the  case  requireth ;  and 
that  you  would  be  more  respective  of  your  domesticall  discipline  and  the 
due  execution  of  your  locall  statutes,  your  lache  and  rcminissences  wherein 
may  be  partly  the  occasion  of  these  so  great  enormities.  And  truly  it  is  not 
the  least  parte  of  my  greife  to  consider  how  by  such  heady  and  intemperat 
misdemeanors  in  younge  regentes,  you  do  not  only  bring  a  matter  of  scandall 
and  slaunder  upon  the  whole  University,  whereof  I  have  never  hard  the 
lyke,  but  give  evil  example  thereby  to  such  of  the  youth  as  for  most  parte 
are  committed  to  your  governaunce  and  tuicion,  to  the  just  offence  of  theire 
parents,  who  have  sent  them  thither  for  disciphne  and  nurture  sake  as  well 
as  for  learning  and  instruction,  and  to  your  owne  most  just  reproofe  in 
givinge  so  evil  example  in  publicke,  whatsoever  your  private  instruction  be. 
And  therefore  as  yt  shall  behove  you,  the  heades  and  governors  of  houses,  so 
I  require  and  chardge  you  to  represse  by  all  you  may  these  late  insolencies, 
and  to  see  them  punished  with  severitie,  according  to  the  greatnes  and 
exhorbitance  thereof.  That  howsoever  the  same  have  happened,  being  nowe 
become  notorious,  there  may  be  as  good  note  taken  of  the  due  punishment 
inflicted  upon  the  offenders,  that  others  hereafter  may  be  restrayned  thereby

thority to  licence  them,  not  having 
any  charter  or  commission  other 
then  the  generail  commission  of  the 
peace. 

2.  The  Vice-chancellor  and  com- 
missary osoally  hold  pleas  both  in 
the  town  and  fairs  upon  penall

force  the  defendantes  to  answere 
upon  oath  to  accuse  themselves. 


3.  The  University  having  no 
leete  by  grant  or  prescription,  but 
having  a  speciall  grant  to  enquire 
of  forestallers  and  ingrossers,  under 
colour  thereof  do  keep  yearly  two 
courtes,  which  they  call  leetes,  etc 


4.  Under  colour  of  the  clerkship 
of  the  market,  they  do  tolerate  kill- 
ing, eating,  and  dressing  of  flesh 
upon  fish  days,  and  butchers  to  kill 
flesh  in  Lent  in  great  abundance, 
taking  money  for  such  toleration. 
And  they  do  tolerate  bakers  and

2.  The  Viee-ehaneeUor  and  oom-

ceed in  those  caoses  in  such  sort  as 
they  take  themselves  to  be  warranted 
by  their  charters ;  whereas  the  town

statutes  (wherein  the  qoeen  is  party), 
without  any  charter  or  warrant  to 
justify  the  same.

a  quest  of  inquiry  touching  for- 
stalling,  regratmg,  ingrossing,  and

Vice-chancellor,  for  any  ea»e  what- 
soever (maheme  or  felony  only  ex- 
cepted). 

0.  The  University  do  not  allow 
the  using  of  any  trade  or  occupations 
contrary  to  law,  and  they  have  as 
great  authority  to  deal  in  such 
mattersi  where  a  privil edged  person 
is  party,  as  the  mayor  hath  among 
the  burgeases. 


7*  The  officers  of  the  University 
do  make  no  other  Be  arch  ^  either  by 
day  or  night,  for  any  other  cauae 
then  such  as  they  mny  do  by  charter

that  they  convert  none  to  thtir  own 
u&e,  bat  BQch  as  are  granted  to  them 
by  charter,  for  which  they  pay  to

8.  The  colleges  of  the  Uuiver.

relieve  the  poor  of  the  town  of  Cam- 
bridge, altliough  they  do  not  take 
themselves  any  wayes  bound  there^

had  a  speciall  care  of  the  Raid  poore,

9.  The  scholars  of  the  Univer- 
sity, being  in  taverns,  ale-houses, 
and  divers  publick  places,  do  gre- 
vionsly  and  very  disorderly  misuse 
in  generall  all  free  burgesses,  and 
in  particular  the  magistrates  of  the 
town.  And  also  in  the  plays  in 
colleges  and  publick  sermons,  where- 
by great  occasion  of  grudge  is  offered. 


10.  The  Vice-chancellor  and  his 
deputy,  and  other  officers  of  the 
University,  do  send  many  to  prison 
in  the  tolbooth,  in  Cambridge,  upon 
executions  and  other  causes,  with- 
out mittimus  or  warrant  in  writing. 
So  that,  at  the  goal  delivery,  the 
causes  of  their  imprisonment  do  not 
appear,  and  the  gaoler  is  oftentimes 
threatened  and  sometimes  sued  for 
false  imprisonment. 


townsmen  have  withdrawn  and  de- 
tained their  weekly  eontribntions 
from  the  poorest  parishes  almoel  for 
the  space  of  one  year  last  passt,  the 
University  still  oonthraing  their  be- 
nevolence as  aforesaid. 

9.  Whereas  it  is  alleged  that 
the  scholers  in  the  playes  and  ser- 
mons misuse  the  borgesaess  and 
magistrates  of  the  town,  they  affirm 
the  same  to  be  most  nntme,  mali- 
tious,  and  slanderous;  neither  do 
they  know  any  abuse  offered,  ex- 
cept, on  the  23rd  of  April,  certain 
young  gentlemen  and  soholers,  being 
in  a  tavern,  did  misbehave  them- 
selves in  speeches  towards  the  maior 
and  his  brethren  passing  by  the  said 
tavern  ;  for  which  offence  they  were 
punished  and  censured  by  the  Vice- 
chancellor  and  Mr  Dr  Nevill,  dean 
of  Canterbury. 

10.  The  Vice-ohanoellor  of  the 
University,  or  his  deputy,  do,  ac- 
cording to  the  ancient  customs  (time 
out  of  memory  of  man  used),  and 
according  to  their  charters,  send 
prisoners  to  the  tollbooth,  or  castle, 
without  warrant  in  writing,  their 
bedell  only  declaring  by  word  to 
the  gaoler  the  cause  of  the  imprison- 
ment; upon  which  word  the  gaoler 
is  bound  to  take  and  keep  such 
prisoner  so  sent,  by  especiall  char- 
ter. <»'

On  the  25th  of  March,  the  Vicechanoellor  and  Heads  made  a  decree 
reciting  that  upon  these  words  of  the  atatnte,  of  12th  EUxalj>eth,  cap*  21, 
de  ^mtiis  concedendiSf  viz,  in  quibm  Btudtierint  in  acadmnia,  arifl  abo 
these  words  following,  aliter  ip^a  gratia  nxdla  sit^  doubt  had  lately 
urtaeu  whether  actual  bachelors  in  arts  before  they  can  be  admitted 
ad  ifieipiendumy  must,  of  necessity,  be  continuiilly  commorant  in  the 
University  nine  whole  terms,  or  else  their  grace  l)eing  obtained  was 
fruMtrate  and  of  no  force :  for  the  clearing  of  all  controversy  in  that 
Iwhalf,  both  for  the  pr^ent  and  thereafter,  by  \irtue  of  that  power 
wbtch,  by  the  statute,  cap,  50,  was  given  inito  them  to  interpret  all 
doubts,  they  declare*!  and  interpreted  the  aforesaid  words  as  folio weth : 
vi^L  that  those  who  for  their  leiiniing  and  raaiuiei*s  ai-o,  according  to 
statute,  fidmitted  Imchelora  in  arts,  are  not  so  strictly  tied  to  a  local 
cominorancy  and  study  within  the  University  or  Town  of  Cambridge, 
but  that  being  at  the  end  of  nine  terms  able  by  thefr  accustomed 
jtercises  and  other  examination  to  approve  themselves  worthy  to  bo 
Tuastera  of  arts,  may  justly  be  admitted  to  that  degree.  The  reasons 
of  this  interpretation  are  thus  slated  : 

FiBST,  that  a  man  once  grounded  wo  far  in  learning  as  to  deserve  a 
bochelorflhip  in  arts,  ls  sufliciGntly  farDislied  to  proceed  in  atudj  by 
himself,  and  snch  coo  fere  ucf"  u»  he  may  easily  have  elsewhere  to  attain 
perfeoUou  enough  not  only  for  ii  mastership,  bnt  higher  degrees  also, 
AS  experience  daily  teacheth. 

Secondly,  the  oonstani  and  oastomsry  acceptance  of  the  same  2lBt 
statntc  by  the  con  tin  nail  prsotiee,  from  the  6rit  making  thereof,  nntil 
this  present  time;  no  exception,  for  ouRht  we  can  learn,  ever  having 
taken  till  now  to  any  bachelor,  diacontinuer,  so  he  sought  not  the 
before  the  full  determination  of  his  nine  termfi,  and  snOlclently 
hifl   ezereiflea,  etc. ;    approved    his    own    wortbiness   required    to   the 


TsiEDLT,  the  great  use  that  there  is  af  the«e  young  men  in  the  oh  arch 
and  commonwealth  ;  who  be  they  never  so  toward,  by  poverty  and  want 
of  mainieuanoe,  mn»l  be  driven  to  manual  trades,  or  to  be  fugitives, 
eioept  they  xnay  be  suffered  by  serving  of  cures,  and  teaching  of  schools,

be  made  fit  for  better  placea,  that  otherwise  caaoot  out  of  our  Universit; 
posBibly  be  stored  with  learned  men. 

FouHTHLT,  we  are  the  rather  nioved  to  this  onr  interpretation,  becaase 
we  find  by  the  0th  chap,  of  our  etatiites^  that  one  coming  to  Gambridf^ 
at  24  years  of  age  may  commence  bachelor  in  divinity,  if  he  F?hall  wholly 
give  bimBelf  to  that  study  by  the  space  of  ten  years  (though  not  cons- 
morant  in  the  University  all  that  time);  and  aleo  by  interpretation  cjjon 
another  point  of  this  statute  now  queHtioned,  made  the  26  of  March, 
17ih  Eliz.,  it  appeareth  that  the  interpreters  thereof,  of  whom  our  then 
honourable  ohancellor  was  ehief,  out  of  their  wisdom  and  judfjment  found 
cause  rather  to  favour  disoontinoera  in  matter  of  form  and  ceremony, 
than  those  that  are  continually  resident  in  the  University.  Besides, 
the  letter  should  be  strictly  urged  against  all  manner  of  discontinaer 
no  such  fellows  of  Colleges  as  have  licence  of  absence  granted  them  either 
to  travel  beyond  the  seas,  or  to  he  abroad  in  the  country^  can  enjoy 
Bueh  grant  without  their  prejudice. 

FrFTHLY  ANo  LASTLY,  we  find  that  the  aforesaid  words  beinf?  literally 
taken  and  construed*  no  bachelor,  either  by  his  own  occasion,  or  by 
common  infection  in  the  town^  or  other  necessary  breaking  tip  of  any 
college,  being  absent  any  part  of  a  term  in  the  said  ninei  could  be 
capable  of  his  master* r  de^ee,  be  he  ever  so  worthy «  Besides  the  great 
prejudiGe  to  all  former  graduates  never  so  antient,  against  whom  there 
may  He  exception  by  thd  iame  feason  upon  the  same  words.,  atit4^  ip^a 
gratia  nttlhi  nit. 

And  where  it  may  be  objected,  that  this  interpretation  cannot 
stand  with  a  former,  made  21  Eliz,  1578,  requiring  strict  continuing 
in  the  University,  and  permitting  no  time  of  absence  with  friends,  of 
in  grammar  school ;  it  is  evident  by  the  words  of  that  interpretatioin, 
that  this  restraint  is  only  for  yonng  sehotars  matriculated  before  any 
degree  taken,  and  therefore  so  green  and  ungrounded  as  they  cannot 
of  themselves  profit  abroad  in  the  country  in  oor  University  studies, 
as  others,  being  actual  bachelors  against  whose  discoutinuance  there  is 
no  mention  in  the  whole  interpretation,  but  the  same  rather  tacite  allowed  ; 
and  yet  for  the  said  younger  Bcholara  there  is  a  favourable  mitigation 
in  the  cases  there  expressed  in  the  end. 

Ykt,  not  willing  by  this  interpretation  to  have  the  UnivCTsity  abuse 
in  conferring  of  so  venerable  a  degree,  we  think  it  requisite  and  vet; 
agreeable  to  the  true  intent  of  the  said  iztatute,  and  so  do  explain,  tha 
yearly  hereafter  long  discon  tinners  do  bring  with  them  to  the  Yiofr*]

Dr  Jsgon  was  ohosen  Vicechancellor  the  next  day  after.  The  Heads 
bad  some  oousultation  presently  after  the  death  of  Dr  Soame,  oonceming 
the  manner  of  his  f^inerall,  <&  did  conclude  that  lir  Chatterton  should 
be  entreated  to  preaoh,  because  he  had  been  oftentimes  with  him  in  his 
•iokuess,  ^  he  did  perform  that  brotherly  office.  Then  they  sent  for 
Mr  Oratour  Norton  [Naunton],  Jt  desired  him  to  make  an  Oration  in 
8t  Mary*s,  which  employment  he  sought  to  avoid,  pretending  want  of 
health,  A  some  other  occasions,  <!tc. ;  but  being  then  farther  urged  to 
procure  one  to  do  it,  he  reftised,  saying,  it  did  not  belong  to  him  to  procure 
any,  <ft  that  Mr  Morley  of  Trio,  did  make  the  Oration  for  Dr  Whitaker. 
Bo  at  last  they  sent  for  Mr  Cotton  of  Eman.,  &  entreated  him  to  undertake 
that  business,  which  he  did,  &  Mr  Derham,  jun.  was  prevailed  with  to  make 
the  Oration  in  the  College.

Which  of  them  two  should  entertain  his  life. 
The  cause  was  tendered  in  the  highest  court.

Your  discrete  and  kinde  letter  (worthy  vicechancellor),  suting  the 
temper  of  your  minde  and  the  gravity  of  your  judgment  in  other  things, 
hath  light  since  I  perused  it  into  very  gracious  and  fayer  hands,  for  the 
king  hath  redd  it  over  with  his  owne  eies,  and  with  that  commendation 
and  approbation  which  it  selfe  deserveth. 

I  want  leysure  to  writte  at  length  which  may  give  verbal  satisfaction 
to  all  the  parts,  being  now  surcharged,  as  the  time  falls  out,  with  the 
kings  affayres,  and  yet  to  satisfy  your  discrete  request  for  my  advise 
upon  this  accident  I  have  sent  unto  you  my  owne  secretary  with  my 

oonceate  for  your  letter  in  the  busynesse, and  doe  desire  that  you 

will  creditt  what  he  reports  from  me,  as  if  I  my  selfe  were  in  person 
present  to  conferr  with  you. 

I  was  infinitely  bound  to  the  kinge  for  his  doute  uppon  one  part  of 
your  letter,  least  his  majestic  had  conceaved  some  offence  but  so  farr 
was  his  majestie  from  anie  such  impression,  as,  in  hearinge  of  my  lord

prove  soe  mntioous  fc  violent  m  the  end  that  he  should  not  be  able  to 
pronounce  the  election  as  he  would. 

AgainjGt  the  which  sentence  after  some  had  made  an  exception  <Jt  required 
the  same  to  be  entered  alaoe  they  theD  proceded  to  the  giving  of  voyces  in

(according  to  the  order)  they  then  fell  too  nombring  the  suffrages,  which  fell 
out  thus,  the  greatest  nomber  without  comparison  were  for  Sir  Pr,  Bacon

Vicecan^  required  to  be  trulie  &  preciselie  nonibrd  A  oomanded  the 
Begister  to  take  a  perfect  note  of  the  nombrs  severally  under  his  hand. 
And  nevertheless  to  be  the  more  sure  theirof  he  willed  them  to  tell  them 
over  againe. 

(Here  true  it  ia)  according  to  the  statnte  de  electione  Cancdlarij  the 
senior  procurator  fihould  first  openly  read  all  the  voycea  that  are  given : 
S[  namlie  his  first  that  had  the  fewest  voyces,  his  next  that  had  the  more,

have  bene  drawne  or  rather  enforced  by  importunitic  after  they  had  reade 
the  voycea  of  the  2  last  to  have  pronounced  them  alsoe  clioeen,  at  la«t  that 
the  reading  of  them  in  the  la«it  place  (as  having  the  greatest  nomber  of 
voyces)  might  be  prejodiclous  to  that  the  Vicecan''.  would  doe ;  And  4"  that

greatly  feared  some  violence  (as  if  he  had  which  he  purpoeed  put  the 
suffrages  for  Sir  Miles  8.  in  his  pocket)  would  surelie  have  come  to  pass : 

And  yeat, fearing  hapily  it  might  theirby  fall  out  he  should  be  soe

Edward  Coke,  late  Chief  Justice  of  that  Court,  affirming  the  judgment  in

perjured  Judge.  This  libel  was  fixed  on  the  great  gate  at  the  entrance  of 
Westminster  Hall,  and  in  divers  other  public  places.  He  puts  in  a  scan- 
dalous plea,  and  refused  to  plead  otherwise,  whereupon  the  Court  committed 
him  to  the  Marshalsea,  and  adjudged  that  he  should  stand  upon  the  Pillory 
at  Westminster  and  Cheapside,  with  a  paper  mentioning  his  offence,  and 
with  such  a  paper  be  brought  to  all  the  Courts  at  Westminster.  He  was  also

On  the  17th  of  June,  Dr  Gwynn  the  Vice-Chancellor  wrote  to  some 
Lord  (perhaps  the  Chancellor)  in  reply  to  a  Letter  of  the  10th  of  May, 
on  the  subject  of  his  (the  Vice-Chancellor's)  efforts  to  bring  one  Alleson 
to  conform  and  submit  himself  to  the  Church  government  and  religion 
established.  The  Vice-Chancellor,  although  he  deemed  him  a  little 
crazy,  employed  certain  devices  to  instruct  and  reform  him,  and  got 
him  to  attend  prayer  and  sermon  at  St  Mary's  Church  the  day 
previously,  in  testimony  of  an  unfeigned  and  reformed  spirit ;  he 
also  promised  to  receive  the  communion  according  to  the  order  of  the 
Church  of  England,  and  the  Vice-Chancellor  enquires  whether  if  he  did 
so,  and  submitted  and  confessed  his  former  errors,  be  should  dischai^ 
him  or  bind  him  to  appear  at  the  assizes,  be  as  Vice-Chanoellor  having 
no  other  jurisdiction  over  him,  he  being  a  stranger.  He  adds,  '*  the

Mr  Mead,  in  a  Letter  to  Sir  Martin  Stuteville,  dated  Christ's 
College,  5th  October,  gives  the  following  account  of  Mr  Preston's 
election  as  Master  of  Emmanuel  College : 

On  Wednesday  last,  in  the  forenoone,  Mr  Preston  was  chosen  Master 
of  Emmannel  CoUedg,  it  being  the  7th  day  after  the  vacatio  agnita  by 
resignation  of  the  old  doctor.  Yet  so  secretly  did  they  carrie  their  busines, 
that  not  any  in  the  towne  no,  nor  any  of  the  schollers  of  their  own  coUedg, 
did  so  much  as  suspect  any  vacation  or  election  till  all  was  done  and 
finished.  Dr  Travers  himself,  whom  some  might  suppose  likely  to  heare 
of  such  a  matter,  heard  not  the  least  jot  till  all  was  past,  notwithstanding 
all  the  acquaintance  and  relations  he  left  behind  him.  Never  did  I  believe, 
till  now  I  see  it  experienced,  that  so  many  as  12  could  keep  counsell  a  week 
together,  and  fellowes  of  a  colledg  too.  Who  would  have  thought  but  there 
would  have  bin  a  Judas  among  12  ?  but  they  jest  at  Emmanuel,  and  tell  us 
that  Judas  was  gone,  and  they  had  but  eleven,  for  one  fellowship  lyes  voyd, 
in  regard  of  some  suit  about  the  maintenance  for  it.  The  new  master  thus 
chosen  was  presently  in  the  aftemoone  fetched  home  from  Qneenes  by  all 
the  fellowes,  and  accompanyed  thence  by  some  of  the  fellowes  there,  and 
most  of  the  schollers,  almost  to  Emmanuel  gates  where  the  seminaree  of 
Emmanuel  stood  to  entertaine  him. 

You  will  perhaps,  or  some  others  may,  wonder  how  this  businee  could 
be  kept  so  close,  since  the  vacation  was  to  be  published  by  a  schedule, 
sett  up  till  the  election.  But  this  circumstance  is  requisite,  only  if  any 
of  the  fellowes  be  absent,  thereby  to  signify  the  vacation  to  them,  to 
prevent  which  they  made  choise  of  a  time  when  all  their  fellowes  were 
at  home  to  call  them  together,  and  make  kuowne  the  resignation  to  all 
present  at  once.^'^'

King  James  departed  this  life  March  27,  1U25,  who  was  most  graciously 
affected  and  loving  lo  the  Univeraity  of  Cambridge. 

Upon  the  3Dth  of  tlie  same  month,  the  Vicechan.  with  thi;  aasistance 
of  the  Headn,  Doetors,  and  ProctorH,  did  meet  the  Maior,  Aldennen, 
and  Town  Clerk  at  Ht  Mary's,  to  proclaim  the  High  and  Mighty  Priuce 
Charles  Prince  of  Wales,  to  be  now  our  rightfuU  Leige  Lord,  and  Hoyall 
King,  Ac.  At  which  time  theie  did  arise  flome  difference  about  the  person 
that  should  make  the  Proclamation.  The  Vicechan,  and  heade  were  of 
opinion,  that  the  senior  Esq.  Bedle  wan  a  tit  man  to  do  it»  luit  the  most 
part  of  the  Aldermen  would  have  the  Town  Clerk  or  his  sonn  to  do  it. 
Upon  this  the  sonn  sayd  to  the  Esq,  Bedel,  If  yon  will  proclaim,  I  will 
dictate  unto  you.  The  Bedle  answered,  I  acoriie  that  you  should  dictate 
unto  rae.  Then  said  the  Son,  my  father  whall ;  then  quoth  the  Bedle,  I  can 
dictate  to  your  father,  &  yoo  too.  Hereupoo  Mr  Vicechan.  smiled,  and  naid 
unto  Mr  Maior,  Sir,  you  have  a  strong  voice,  &  if  you  will  please  to  do  it, 
I  will  dictate  to  yon.  Quoth  the  Maior,  I  will  with  all  my  heart.  Then  we 
went  presently  to  the  Market  Cross,  where  School  Keeper  made  an  Oyes 
8  Beyeral  times.  The  Yice'chan.  did  then  dictate,  and  the  Maior  did  prudatm 
exoeeding  well.  The  Proclamation  was  this,  Whereas  it  hath  pleased 
Almighty  God,  to  call  to  hir^  mercy  out  of  this  transitory  life  our  bite 
Sovereign  Lord  K.  J  anient,  of  blessed  memory,  by  whose  decease  the  Imperial!

King  James's  Funeralls  were  solemnized  at  Cambridge  in  this  manner, 
viz.  All  the  University  did  meet  at  the  Schools  in  their  formaUties,  at  nine

order:  The  Begent  and  non-Regents  did  follow  the  Jun.  Bedle,  and  the 
other  two  Bedles  did  go  before  the  Vicechan.,  after  whome  all  other  Doctors 
of  all  Faculties.  The  Begent  walk,  School  yard,  non-Begent  and  Begent 
House,  were  all  hung  with  blacks,  St  Mary's  was  also  hung  with  blacks,  but 
there  were  many  escutcheons  and  verses  pinned  upon  them,  and  not  one  of 
them  stirr'd  or  pulled  off,  till  the  Oration  was  ended;  in  the  afternoon 
Dr  Collins  the  Begins  Professor  did  preach,  and  when  the  sermon  was 
done,  a  Congregation  was  called  against  two  of  the  Clock  that  afternoon 
in  the  same  place,  where  Mr  Thomdike,  the  Deputy  Orator,  did  make 
an  Oration,  which  being  ended  the  company  departed  to  their  severall

Mr  Mead  gives  the  following  account  of  the  health  of  the  Town, 
and  neighbourhood  in  a  Letter  to  Sir  Martin  Stuteville,  dated  Christ's 
College,  the  3rd  of  October : 

All  here  I  find  well,  God  be  thanked;  but  our  St  Maiy^s  Bermons  and 
term  in  town  are  adjourned  a  month  longer ;  they  of  the  lower  house  say, 
lest  the  doctors,  out  of  custom  and  decency,  might  be  forced  to  preach  at 
the  fast,  as  it  was  the  wont  while  it  was  public.  Bat  the  beadles  desired 
they  might  have,  notwithstanding  their  fees  for  disses,  as  if  they  were  kept ; 
but  the  senior  regent,  being  of  King's  College,  stopped  the  grace  in  the  head, 
saying,  it  was  no  reason  but  the  beadles  should  bear  their  part  in  the  common 
calamity  as  well  as  others.  I  hear  just  now,  that  two  houses  were  shut  up 
at  Boyston,  on  Thursday,  for  the  plague,  and  the  infected  translated  into 
the  fields.  One  of  those  who  died  was  a  child,  and  near  had  all  the  neigh- 
bours been  present,  sent  for  by  the  father;  but  that  the  spots  suddoily 
appeared,  and  so  the  danger  prevented  by  a  counter  necessary.  At  Trum- 
pington  hath  died  three— one  Peck,  his  wife,  and  maid.<^^

The  following  extract  of  a  Letter  from  Mr  Mead  of  Christ's 
Collie,  dated  25th  July,  gives  the  particulars  of  a  foul  murder 
committed  here : 

On  Monday,  Durrant  the  tanners  son,  kild  a  man  cowardly  and  basely, 
in  revenge  of  being  a  witnes  in  some  sute  or  controversie,  first  against  his 
father  deceased,  and  since  brought  to  confirm  it  against  the  son,  who  had 
bin  watching  and  seeking  for  him  to  act  this  villanie,  when  at  length  having 
unhappily  found  him,  the  fellow  suspecting  his  intent  upon  former  threats, 
and  unprovided  to  resist  as  having  no  weapon,  made  hast  to  gett  into  a 
house  neere  Queenes  Colledg,  but  not  able  to  open  the  dore  sone  enough, 
Durrant  stab'd  him  in  tbe  brest  on  the  left  side,  and  then  tumbling  him 
dead  into  the  house,  gave  him  6  woundes  more.  When  he  had  done,  he 
betook  him  to  his  owne  house,  which  he  maintained  awhile  against  the 
mayor  and  officers,  with  muskets,  etc.,  but  at  length  was  taken  by  a  strata- 
geme,  and  remaines  unpenitent  in  prison,  onely  greived  that  he  killed  but 
one  man.  He  is  a  recusant.  The  fellow  kild  dwelt  about  Huntingdon,  and 
upon  even  termes  would  have  made  his  part  good.(^^

was  subsequently  executed.^*')

to  be  pleased  for  hi^  part  to  see  them  observed,  and  to  protect  the  university 
in  the  execution  of  the  same. 

Then  he  signilied  that  the  whole  Senate  of  the  University  had  sent 
ilieir  orator,  who,  in  the  name  of  the  whole  University,  was  to  speak 
anto  him,  and  desired  his  grace  to  be  pleased  to  give  him  audienoe. 
The  orator's  oration  ended,  the  duke  made  a  speech  to  the  whole 
awetDbly. 

And  then  they  all  viewed  the  duke's  lodgings,  and  walked  in  the 
gurdeoa,  where  In  one  of  the  cloisters  there  was  music.  And  when  the 
UhlM  were  set,  they  went  to  supper.  The  vice-chancellor  sat  at  the 
apper  end  of  the  table,  by  the  duke,  and  nobles,  and  bishops,  and  the 
doctors  sat,  and  the  orator,  proctors,  taxers,  and  bedels,  then  the  others 
in  their  seniority  at  another  table,  others  at  a  table  at  the  end  of  that 
table. 

Note  that  do  man  was  urged  to  pledge  any  health.  Those  that  attended 
(if  any  health  was  to  be  pledged)  gave  him  a  greater  or  lesser  glass,  as  he 
desired,  and  of  what  wine  he  called  for.  Remember,  that  there  were  two

and  certify  him:  1.  whut  poblic  proof  of  hia  sofficit^ncy  in  learning,  by

Most  excellent  Prince.  It  pleased  Hiii  Majesty  to  signify  his  gracbua 
assent  for  the  foondatiou  of  a  lecture  on  History  by  Lord  Brooke  in  ihis 
hia  University  of  Cambridge  aa  also  for  the  prt^aent  admission  of  the  lecturer

a  ttiidden  could  be,  Dr  Borialans  a  Dutch lUAn  is  sent  by  Lord  Brooke  for 
rt-ader  whose  two  lectures  on  the  Auuals  of  Tacitus  liave  been  heard  by  most 
of  the  University  not  without  much  distaste  and  exception;  especially 
ftgainst  the  latter  the  argument  thereof  being  the  Begal  power  too  much 
treuohod  upon  by  the  subject.  Yet  were  we  ahy  of  conventing  him  aa  well  in 
regard  of  the  countenance  and  respect  His  Majesty^s  letters  required  we 
should  give  him  as  [out]  of  our  fear  lest  the  founders  good  intention  might 
be  checked  at  »o  ominous  a  b^inning  and  thereupon  he  should  recall  hia 
pious  purpose,  so  we  resolved  to  send  all  to  your  Grace.  The  ingenuoanesa 
of  the  man  waa  such  that  hearing  of  the  exception  taken  to  his  doctrine 
that  the  right  of  monarchy  rested  on  the  peoples  voluntary  aubmuision  be 
came  to  us  of  himself  both  in  private  and  public  giving  satisfaciion  in  so

finding  his  abilities  answerable  we  should  be  sorry  that  the  University 
should  hazard  the  loss  of  either  so  useful  a  lecture  or  of  so  able  a  reader 
which  we  doubt  not  but  ycinr  wisdom  wiU  prevent.  To  this  end  we  have

HoLLAJTB,  Oct.  29,  1628. 

About  9  of  the  clock  in  the  morniug,  the  University  met  at  Southampton 
House*  where  they  put  on  their  formalities  in  th«?  Hall,  dtc.  When  word 
was  brought  ub^  that  my  Lord  was  ready,  we  ranked  ouraelves  in  thiB 
order  :  the  Jtmior  Bedel  went  before  the  Regents  in  their  seniority,  2  and  2 
together ;  then  followed  the  non-Repents  and  Buchelora  of  Divinity,  in  the 
like  manner  :  then  the  Taxera,  and  after  them  the  Proctors.  The  Senior 
Bedel  went  before  the  Vice  Chancellor.  The  Bishopd  followed  him.  Then 
came  otir  Umvereity  Doctors,  in  their  scarlet  gouns ;  and  after  them  the 
Doctors  of  Ijondon,  which  had  no  scarlet. 

Wben  we  were  come  lo  Warwick  Hoofle,  the  Regents  and  non^Re^^enta 
made  a  fair  lune,  by  siding  themselves  in  the  court-yard,  for  our  Chan- 
cellor, who  came  to  mieet  the  Tioe-Chanoellor,  Bishops  and  Doe  tors,  drc 
When  our  Chancellor  had  given  a  courteous  respect  to  all,  he  went  up  with 
the  Vice-Chancenor  next  to  him  into  the  hall :  the  Bishops,  DoctorH,  and 
the  rest  did  follow  after. 

There  were  2  chairs  placed  at  the  upper  cud  of  the  Half,  and  also 
a  little  table  before  them  to  keep  off  the  crowd.  The  Vice  Chancellor, 
standing  before  our  Chancellor,  did  make  his  speech  :  about  the  middle  of 
which,  he  willed  the  Senior  Proctor  to  read  the  Patent :  which  being  ended, 
the  Vice  Chancellor  delivered  the  same  unto  our  Chancellor,  together  with 
the  book  of  Statutes  fairly  bound  up  :  and  then  Hpuke  some  things  con- 
oeming  them»  &g.  Then  he  went  and  sat  down  in  the  cliair  upon  the  left 
hand  of  our  Chancellor  ;  and.  when  he  had  taken  hie  right  hand  in  his 
own,  the  Senior  Proctor  gave  him  thiit  Outh,  DominCp  dabes  Fidem  in 
verbo  Honoris,  qnod  bene  el  fideliter  Ofllcium  Cancellariatns  Academiae 
Oanti^brigieiitiji  pneetabis. 

Then  they  both  rose  up,  and  the  Vice  Ghancdlor  went  lo  the  table  igEio, 
and  in  8  or  4  lines  ended  his  speech,  telling  his  Honour,  that  our  orator 
should  supply  his  defects,  in  a  better  language. 

Then  the  Orator  began  his  speech ;  and  when  he  had  done,  our  Chan- 
cellor spake  some  tiling  very  briefly  and  softly  conoeming  the  preiervation

Ghanoellor  and  the  Bishops  and  the  rest  of  the  Company  into  the  Dining 
Boom,  where  there  was  a  most  snmptous  Dinner  provided. 

After  dinner  was  over,  our  Chancellor  oame  with  the  Yioe-Chanoellor 
and  the  rest  of  the  company  as  far  as  the  court  gate,  where  he  very 
ooarteoosly  parted  with  them.  Mem.  He  stood  bare  all  the  time  of  both 
speeches. 

The  Vice-chancellor  caused  one  of  the  Bedels  to  give  the  servants  which 
kept  the  gate  at  Warwick  House  108.,  and  the  Porter  at  Southampton

household;  secondly,  tbe  pa^sengeri^,  whereof  most  are  i^diolarg,  women, 
or  children^  that  travel  to  or  from  in  tliem ;  thirdly,  books,  trunks*  and 
otber  necessaries  for  our  scholars,  without  danger  of  overthrowing,  and 
great  loss  and  spoil  of  snob  things  as  are  committed  to  his  charge  in  them  : 
all  which  have  heretofore  been  safely  conveyed  at  reasonable  rates  from 
the  city  of  Ix»ndon  hither,  and  ho  from  na  to  that  place,  covered,  and 
by  him  soured  from  harms  and  damage  to  the  persons  and  owners,  which 
cannot  possibly  be  undertaken  in  carts,  without  greater  charge  and  in- 
ovituble  danger,  the  ways  being  dee|)  in  winter,  and  the  carta  more  subject 
lo  overthrowing,  aud  so  spoiling  of  the  owners'  goods,  and  endangering  the 
lives  of  those  that  pass  in  them. 

This  our  request  for  him,  and  that  petition  coneerning  this  matter, 
which  we  are  informed  he  hath  lately  delivered  to  your  lordship,  we  refer 
wholly  to  your  wisdom,  and  that  hononrable  care  and  favour  which  you 
have  always  had,  and  showed  to  ns  and  those  which  an^'wiso  do  good,  or

I  HiippoB^i  you  liave  heard  of  the  like  calamiti©  begun  and  threatened  0« 
here  in  Cambridge.  We  have  bad  some  7  dyedi,  the  fiist»  the  last  week 
(suspected  but  not  searched),  a  bay.  On  Monday  and  Tuesday  2,  a  boy 
and  a  woman  in  the  same  hou^e,  and  another.  On  Wedneeduy,  2  women* 
one  exceeding  foule,  in  two  houses,  viz*,  the  2  former.  On  Thursday,  a 
man,  one  Home«t  dwelling  in  the  middeat  betwei^n  the  two  former  hoa&ee, 
for  all  three  Ktand  together  at  Magdalene  Colledge  end.  It  began  at  the 
farther  house,  Foster's,  a  flhoemaker ;  supposed  by  lodging  a  nonldiert  who 
had  a  soare  upon  him,  in  whose  bed  and  sheets  the  nastie  woman  laid  2  of 
litr  Hons,  who  are  both  dead,  und  a  kinswoman.  Some  adde  for  a  cao^e 
a  duughiD  on  hm  backside  elo«e  by  his  ho  use »  in  a  little  yard,  in  which 
the  foole  this  leuttlme  auffc^ned  some  butchcre,  who  had  killed  meat  by 
stealth,  to  kill  it  there,  and  to  bury  the  garbage  in  his  dunghill,  so  to  avoyd 
dtieovery,  by  which  it  became  very  noysome  even  to  Magdalene  Colledge. 
Thd  other  two  housea,  the  one  is  a  t^inith,  the  hethermost,  and  the  middle- 
most, Homes,  a  taphouse,  all  beyond  th*;;  bridge.  But  the  worst  new8  of 
all,  told  me  this  morning  by  one  or  the  searchers,  is,  that  this  last  night 
dyed  a  child  of  Pembroke  Hall  baker's,  next  the  Cardinairs  Capp,  with  all 
the  signer  of  the  plague,  both  spotts  and  swelling;  which  discovers  the 
towne  to  be  in  very  great  danger.  For  tber  dyed  some  fortnight  since,  one 
Difiher,  a  boc>kbinder,  auddainly,  and  another  or  two  before^  either  his  or  Mr 
neighbourH,  one  being  a  eouldier,  whom  this  Dither,  keeping  an  alehouset 
lodged,  and  wag  comrade  to  the  souldier  that  was  supposed  to  have  infected 
the  »hoonmker*H  house,  at  St  Gyles.  There  was  a  very  great  number 
at  Disher'fl  fnnerall  -  but  presently  thereupon,  by  death  of  some  other 
grew  a  suspicion,  which,  sinoe  the  plague  broak  out  at  St  Gyles's,  was 
examined,  but  nothing  would  be  confessed,  till  now  this  is  happened  upon 
tilts  child,  whose  mother  is  that  Disher's  wife's  sister,  and  was  with  her  both 
at  and  aince  the  death  of  hir  huBband.  We  hcare  the  plague,  by  some 
relation  to  these  hotines,  is  broken  out  at  Hi»ton  and  (iarton.  Besides  that, 
it  is  begnu  iu  Northampton  and  other  places.  God  have  mej'cy  upon  U8,  and 
deliver  Ufl."<'*) 

The  following  Ordei's  were  mada  l>y  Chri»t  s  UoUoge,  on  the  ilitti 
of  April. 

Wheekas  the  Statute  allows,  that  in  time  of  plague  the  Mr  and 
Fellowes  may  retire  themselves  where  they  may  otherwise  be  conveniently 
provided  for,  with  reservation  of  the  sume  allowance,  which  they  enjoy 
being  in  the  college.  Asa  wberisab  th«  antient  retiring  place  at  M&lton

to  be  believed  how  slowly  the  University  retumetb.  None  almost  bat  a  few 
sophisters  to  keep  their  acts.  We  are  now  eight  fellows.  Bennet  College

Dr  Chaderton  tells  me,  there  hath  died  of  the  whole  number  about 
108  in  our  parish.  I  have  not  told  them,  as  having  not  the  bills.  Tou 
may  examine  them.  I  hear  not  yet  of  any  that  hath  died  of  the  sickness 
this  week. 

The  List  referred  to  as  enclosed  was  as  follows  : 

1,  Our  second  cook  and  some  3  of  his  house ;  2,  our  gardiner  and  all 
his  house;  3,  our  porter's  child,  and  himself  was  at  the  green;  4,  our 
batcher  and  3  of  his  children  ;  5,  our  baker,  who  made  our  bread  in 
Mr  Atkinson's  bakehouse,  had  2  of  his  children  dyed,  but  then  at  his  owne 
house,  as  having  no  imployment  at  the  bakehouse;  6,  our  manciple's 
daughter  had  3  soares,  in  hir  father's  house ;  but  hir  father  was  then  and  is 
still  in  the  colledge ;  7,  our  laundress,  (who  is  yet  in  the  college)  her  maid 
died  of  the  infection  in  her  dame's  house ;  8,  and  one  of  our  bedmakers  in 
the  college,  whose  son  was  a  prentice  in  a  house  in  the  parish'*'  whither  the 
infection  came  also^) 

In  another  Letter,  dated  19th  December,  Mr  Mead  writes  thus  to 
Sir  Martin  Stuteville : 

With  us  on  Thursday,  died  one,  in  the  same  house  where  the  last  died 
three  weeks  and  five  days  before ;  that  is,  within  two  days  of  the  month 
expiring.  But  the  house  hath  been  all  this  time  shut  up,  and  so  it

FracUmation  and  orders,  lately  publidhed,  for  the  preventing  and  remedying 
of  tlie  Dearth  of  Graitie  and  victimlL 

1st,  I  oertiBe,  that  according  to  the  directions  in  the  said  Proclamation 
and  orders,  and  presently  after  tbe  receipt  of  the  Bame,  upon  this  16  Oct* 
IGSO,  I  called  before  me  12  of  the  ablest  and  best  understanding  men  in  the 
Towne  of  Cambridire^  and  fiiiburbs  of  the  same*  and  gave  them  the  charge 
in  the  said  orders  prescribed:  who  hereupon  did  make  due  enquirie  upon  all 
the  ffftid  aiticles  and  orders^,  itnd  the  29th  driy  of  the  F^ame  month  did  make 
presentment  to  me,  under  their  hand^,  of  all  Buch  matters  as  were  given 
them  in  charge,  wherein  they  did  find  and  present  as  foUoweth. 

Faemerb.  }  First,  what  quantityes  of  Graine  of  all  kindR  was  in  every 

farmers  handa  and  custody,  within  the  Towne  of  Cambridge, 
and  the  suburbs  thereof;  and  what  qunnttty  of  land  every  bucH  farmer  had 
to  sow  with  the  same  ;  and  how  much  he  h  likely  to  spend  m  his  house 
between  this  and  next  harvest ;  And  I  doe  find,  that  the  total  of  the 
remainder  of  all  their  come  and  graine,  their  lands  being  sowen,  and 
families  maintained,  will  not  be  above  781  quarters. 
Baeebs  \  By  the  Bill  of  Presentment  it  aim  appeareth,  that  the 

and      Y    common  Bakere  and  Brewers  in  the  University  and  Town, 

BiiewEiis.j     now  in  thi8  time  of  the  Vieitation,  do  bake  and  brew  every 

month  468  quarters,  which  for  nine  months  yet  to  come  before 

Harrest,  is  about  4100  quarters.     And  also  I  tind,  by  the  said  Bill  of 

Preaentment,  that  all  the  common  Bakere  and  Brewers  in  the  town  have 

btjfore-hand  about  12fJ9  quarters  of  wheate,  rye,  and  malt. 

If  the  SchoUers  retttrn  to  the  Universitie,  and  the  CoUedges  be  filled  as 
they  were  before  the  sicknesse,  it  is  thought  that  the  said  Bakers  and

Verses  upon  the  Vicechan :   pulling  down  the  signes. 

Hen.  Butts,  tunc  Procan.  1630. 
The  Viceohauncelour  doth  like  the  sunue  appeare 
Which  shines  most  glorious  in  his  Hemisphere 
And  rightly  too  I  may  him  call  a  Sunne 
Since  hee  of  late  through  all  the  sigues  did  runne 
Those  sigues  hee  standing  left  which  diil  nhine  bright 
Aud  cut  downe  them  which  did  eclipse  in  light 
For  which  with  greife  some  did  themselves  consume. 
And  others  wished  him  hanged  in  their  roome 
But  in  so  wishing  they  did  wondrous  poore 
For  then  hee  would  bee  alwaies  at  your  doore 
Besides  in  this  hee  did  not  wrong  the  towne, 
They  hangd  the  signes,  hee  only  cut  them  downe. 
Yet  by  this  fact  hee  them  hath  shrewdly  baug'd 
Their  signes  are  never  good,  but  when  they're  hang'd. 
Unto  the  plow  hee  went,  that's  strange  I  vow 
To  see  a  Doctor  goe  unto  the  plow. 
But  I  doe  wonder  that  the  Plow  would  yeeld 
Hee  should  methinke  have  challenged  the  feild. 
That  hee  might  winne,  hee  might  have  prayers  enough 
There's  none  but  would  have  sayd  God  speed  the  plow 
But  with  great  patience  he  this  thing  did  bare 
The  Plow  with  others  only  had  his  share.

the  hearers,  I  went  into  Trinity  College  library,  and  there  viewed  divers 
ancient  manuscripts,  which  afforded  me  as  much  content  as  the  sight  of  the 
extreme  vanity  of  the  Coart  did  sorrow.  The  royal  pair  departed  from 
Cambridge,  Tuesday,  March  the  20th,  in  the  afternoon;  and  the  day

by  virtue  of  the  King's  recommendatory  letters,  of  which  divers  new  and

was  irksome  to  have  to  go  without  the  College  walls  in  the  winter

the  more  disorderly  members  of  the  College  to  extend  their  rambles

1633.  Sept.  Notes  by  Sir  John  Lambe  concerning  Mr  Holdsworth*s 
election  as  Master  of  St  John's  College,  Cambridge  : 

Holdsworth's  election  was  agaiust  the  form  of  the  statute  as  the  late 
Master  died  on  the  5th  of  June  and  the  announcement  was  not  made  till  the 
7th  instead  of  on  the  next  day  as  the  statute  required.  Twenty  voices 
were  excepted  against  and  twenty-nine  were  unexcepted  against.  A  motion 
was  made  to  lay  aside  those  excepted  against  to  which  all  consented,  and  of 
the  29  left  Lane  had  10  and  Mr  Holdsworth  but  13.  The  protestations 
made  on   Mr  Holdsworth's   part  were  not  repeated  or  pursued  but  on

Mr  Latie's  pAirl  it  was  otherwirie.  The  Senior  Fellow  ought  to  pTonoance 
for  the  elei^iion  which  was  not  done  for  Mr  Holdsworth.  For  Dr  Lane  it

Ihanka  as  by  tlie  Btatute  is  re«iuired,  but  Dr  Lane  did.  The  two  Senior 
Fellows  ought  to  present  the  Master  elected  to  the  Vice-Chancellor,  So  it 
was  done  for  Dr  Lane  hot  not  for  Mr  HoliUworth,  Wherefore  we  consider 
Mr  Holdsworth's  election  not  to  be  ftccordtng  to  the  statate.  In  case  no 
eteotion  was  good  no  devohition  was  to  the  SeniorBt  to  the  Bishop  of  Ely,  or

care  of  writer's  self  and  college  in  backing  their  reasons  why  they 
should  not  pay  the  charges  concerning  the  commission.  But  since

as  from  his  Majesty  without  delay  to  pay  these  charges.  Upon  sup- 
position of  his  Majesty's  Royal  command  are  ready  to  give  satisfaction. 
The  writer  is  bold  to  tell  Windebank  that  if  his  Majesty  would  bestow 
upon  them  some  eminent  Fellow  the  writer  would  have  ho^)e  of  raising 
St  John's  in  a  short  time.  Now  I)r  Lane  is  dead  the  writer  thought  it

A  Packet  Post. 
In  Juno  a  proposition  was  made  to  the  Privy  Council  for  settling 
a  stiiflfett*  or  jmcket  post  betwixt  L^^ndoti  and  all  parts  of  his  Majesty's 
dominions  for  carrying  and  recarrying  his  subject's  letters.  The  clear

England  for  which  kis  Miijesty  is  now  charged  with  £34(X)  jwr  annum. 
The  chief  iKiints  of  this  proposal  are — that  an  ofBce  or  eoimtry  house 
should  be  established  in  London  for  receiving  letters,  that  letters  to 
Edinburgh  and  along  that  road  should  he  put  into  a  '*  jwrtmantle "

a  tiag  should  be  directed  to  Cambridge  where  lettcra  were  to  be  deli  voriid, 
tAking  the  same  poll  as  was  then  paid  to  the  carriers,  which  was

the  distance  the  letter  is  carried,  that  a  horse  should  be  provided  for 
towns  which  lie  far  off  the  main  roads  as  Hull.  Similar  arrangements 
were  made  for  other  main  roads.  By  these  means  letters  which  were 
then  carried  by  carriers,  or  foot  posts,  16  or  20  miles  a  day  (so  that  it 
would  be  at  least  2  months  before  any  answer  was  received  from 
Scotland  or  Ireland),  would  go  120  miles  in  one  day  and  night.  At 
this  rate  of  travelling  it  was  declared  that  news  would  come  from  the 
coast  towns  to  London  "  sooner  than  thought." 

July  11.  Information  of  Edward  Cropley  that  James  Priest  of 
Cambridge,  painter,  came  upon  the  Market  Hill  on  Sabbath  day, 
July  9,  and  said  **  Some  scurvy  Popish  Bishop  hath  got  a  toleration  for 
"  boys  to  play  upon  the  Sabbath  day  after  evening  prayer  and  so  I  will 
'*b^n  myself,"  and  so  danced  and  played  and  used  many  unfit 
speeches.  Also  he  said  **  Some  foolish  Bishop  hath  gotten  a  toleration 
"  for  these  boys  to  play  upon  the  Sabbath  day  which  of  the  King  did 
"  understand  himself  he  would  not  suffer  it,  but  he  is  over-ruled  by  his 
"servants — a  company  of  knaves."  Priest  used  many  more  unfitting 
speeches  against  the  Vice-Chancellor,  about  altars  and  organs  in  the 
Churches. 

On  August  27,  the  examination  of  James  Priest  was  taken  before 
Sir  William  Becher.  The  information  having  been  read.  Priest  says 
he  does  not  remember  that  he  ever  spoke  such  words  and  protests  that 
he  never  held  them  in  his  heart  for  that  he  reverences  the  Bishops  and 
holds  himself  bound  to  follow  their  direction  and  to  honour  those 
servants  of  his  Majesty  who  approach  his  person.  But  he  says  that 
sometime  before  July  5,  he  was  much  afflicted  in  mind  in  regard  he 
was  unable  to  pay  his  debts  and  durst  not  go  abroad  to  follow  his  trade 
of  a  painter  whereby  to  provide  for  his  family,  and  that  being  much 
weakened  in  his  mind,  on  the  5th  of  July,  ?July  9th,  he  drank 
half-a-pint  of  sack  at  the  Falcon  Tavern,  and  by  and  by  another 
half-pint,  but  cannot  remember  that  he  drank  more  ;  but  that  his  wife 
told  him  that  at  his  coming  home  he  di*ank  another  pint  of  sack  but 
that  he  does  not  remember  anything  he  did  all  that  day  or  night  after, 
only  that  he  found  himself  next  morning  lying  on  the  bare  boards. 
But  divers  of  his  neighbours  told  him  that  he  had  used  unseemly 
actions  in  the  market  place  and  had  spoken  against  the  Bishop  and  the 
Book  of  Recreation,  but  was  not  told  those  particular  words  mentioned 
in  the  information.(<*)

every  keeper  of  a  tavern,  inn,  or  ordinary  and  every  common  cook  and 
ale-house  keeper  become  bound  to  his  Majesty  in  £20  with  condition 
not  to  dress  any  venison,  red  or  fallow,  or  any  hares,  pheasants,

March  11.  The  petition  to  the  King  of  Thomas  Cooke,  B.D.,  of 
Qonville  and  Caius  College,  was  referred  to  Abp  Laud,  Henry  Earl  of 
Holland  and  Bishop  Wren  of  Norwich.  Petitioner  complained  that 
the  elections  of  the  Master  and  certain  Fellows  of  Qonville  and  Caius 
College  had  not  been  made  of  Norfolk  and  Suffolk  men  according  to 
the  College  statutes,  that  Dr  Batchcroft  the  present  Master  had 
refused  to  sanction  an  appeal  therefrom  to  the  visitors  and  in  con- 
sequence of  petitioner's  suggestions  of  these  irregularities  had  en- 
deavoured to  make  void  his  fellowship.  The  referees  report  in  favour 
of  the  Master  on  all  these  points  with  strong  condemnation  of  the 
personal  conduct  of  the  petitioner.  In  some  trivial  matters  the  referees 
deem  the  Master  to  have  been  misled  by  the  practice  of  some  of  his 
later  predecessors  and  with  reference  to  those  matters  the  referees 
suggest  various  amendments  of  the  College  statutes.  The  King 
directed  a  letter  to  the  Master  of  the  College  authorizing  him  to 
administer  an  oath  to  the  Junior  Fellows  as  directed  by  a  statute 
which  had  fallen  into  disuse.

On  April  5,  1636,  Thomas  C^ooke  pre«csnted  the  following  petition  to 
Archbishop  Laud.  In  the  late  hearing  of  the  difterencea  between 
Dr  Batchcroft  and  ])etitiouer  by  atreights  of  time' and  the  « opposition  of 
advocates  some  things  were  omitted  which  he  eirtreats  the  Archbishop

the  benefit  of  that  doubt  and  although  the  Archbishop  has  now 
determined  that  it  rnna  from  institution  that  such  iuterpretn^tioii  may 
be  obligatt>ry  only  from  the  time  of  its  promulgation.  !b  That  the 
President  of  every  College  should  hold  a  l)enetice  with  his  Fellowship

of  Dr  Philemond  Holland,  and  in  commisseration  of  his  want  of  meanes 
to  relieve  him  now  in  his  old  age,  I  have  given  leave,  that  he  shall  receive

On  March  12,  Dr  John  Cosin  to  Dr  Steward,  Dean  of  Chichester 
and  Clerk  of  the  closet,  gives  him  a  full  relation  of  that  which  had 
passed  among  the  Heads  of  Houses  concerning  Mr  Adams'  sermon  on 
25  of  June  in  St  Mary's  Church.  A  copy  of  the  Sermon  having  been 
called  for  during  the  Vice-Chancellorship  of  Dr  Comber,  there  were  no 
further  proceedings  until  Dr  Brownrigg  became  Vice-Chancellor,  when 
after  various  proceedings  a  form  of  submission  and  recantation  was 
prepared  by  the  Vice-Chancellor  and  passed,  but  with  great  difficulty, 
and  as  Dr  Cosin  insinuates  by  management  in  taking  advantage  of  the 
absence  of  some  of  the  members  of  the  Court  known  to  be  adverse  to 
the  form  of  recantation  prepared.  Mr  Adams  had  not  recanted  and 
had  withdrawn  his  intention  to  keep  his  act  for  his  B.D.  degree.(*)

1639.  Petition  of  Edward  Clench  of  Grantchester,  Co.  Cambridge, 
to  Archbishop  Laud.  Petitioner  having  jast  cause  of  action  against 
Thomas  Whatton,  Vicar  of  Grantchester,  caused  a  warrant  to  be 
delivered  to  two  bailiffs  for  his  arrest,  who  incontinently  arrested  him 
in  the  church  after  divine  service,  for  which  offence  the  bailiffs,  having 
been  censured  and  committed,  submitted  themselves  to  the  censure  of 
the  High  Commission  Court.  Petitioner  being  innocent  of  any  the 
least  abetment  in  that  action  and  by  reason  of  his  country  employ- 
ments unfit  to  maintain  a  suit  in  this  Court  entreats  your  Grace  to 
'  refer  the  determining  of  the  cause  to  Sir  John  Lambe  and  Sir  Nathaniel 
Brent,  or  any  other  whom  you  shall  think  meet.(") 

July  4.  Sentence  of  the  Court  of  High  Commission  in  a  cause 
against  Edward  Clench  of  Grantchester.  Thomas  Whatton  being 
vicar  of  Grantchester,  Clench  in  June  1636  did  vilify  his  person  and 
function,  saying  that  Whatton  was  a  contentious  man  and  a  knave, 
and  that  he  carried  the  word  of  God  in  his  mouth  and  the  Devil  in  his 
heart,  and  that  he  would  shortly  see  him  Poi)e  of  Grantchester.  In 
May  1637,  in  the  chamber  of  Charles  Eden  at  Trinity  Hall,  Cambridge, 
Clench  again  called  Whatton  knave  with  other  reproachful  terms. 
Further,  about  the  feast  of  St  Bartholomew  in  the  church  of  Grant- 
chester Clench  used  many  scolding  and  brawling  speeches.  On  another 
occasion  Clench  talking  with  the  neighbours  about  secular  matters  in 
the  church,  Mr  Whatton  put  them  in  mind  that  such  matters  were 
not  there  to  be  treated  of,  when  Clench  used  many  disgraceful  speeches 
calling  Whatton  Sirrah  and  saying  that  he  kept  every  day  as  good  a 
man  as  him  to  wipe  his  shoes.  Immediately  after  Clench  told  Whatton 
that  he  would  provide  for  him  and  getting  out  spoke  with  two  men 
named  Smith  and  Russell,  who  coming  into  the  church  pulled  and 
haled  Whatton  out  of  his  pew,  tore  his  clothes  and  drew  blood  from 
him  in  the  church,  when  Clench  looking  in  at  the  window  bade  them  if 
they  had  him  to  hold  him  and  pull  him  out  of  the  church.  The  Court 
fined  Clench  £500  and  ordered  him  to  perform  a  public  submission 
conceptx9  verbis  at  such  time  and  in  such  manner  as  shall  be  prescribed

to  be  admitted  Dr  Beales'  privileged  man  under  whom  he  is  of  late  pro- 
tected. We  require  you  to  examine  the  truth  of  the  allegations,  which  if 
proved  we  then  hold  the  abuse  not  to  be  permitted  and  require  you  to  take 
a  speedy  course  to  compel  Fathers  to  yield  obedience,  and  that  henceforth 
there  be  no  such  privileges  given  to  any  foreigners  to  the  prejudice  of  the 
Company  of  Tailors.  <") 

On  June  19  Dr  Beale  answered  the  charges  : 

If  I  should  but  answer  so  much  of  the  petition  as  concerns  myself  alone 
I  should  and  do  acknowledge  this  only  that  Everard  Fathers  was  sworn  and 
admitted  my  privileged  servant.  All  the  rest  concerns  the  University  and 
the  party  [inculpated]  who  if  he  has  leaped  beyond  the  sphere  of  his 
privilege  has  received  no  countenance  from  me,  and  thus  much  I  thank  the 
Honourable  Board  they  have  allowed  me.  I  am  not  guilty  of  so  much 
knowledge  as  that  the  Company  of  Tailors  had  ever  any  suit  or  suits  with 
this  Everard  when  I  admitted  him.  Power  I  have  as  other  Heads  of  Colleges 
to  retain  two  servants  householders  in  town,  one  of  which  places  being  void 
and  I  being  requested  retained  Fathers.  Now  by  the  Charter  of  King  James 
all  Colleges  and  scholars'  servants  have  grounded  and  used  the  liberty  and 
custom  of  setting  up  any  manual  trade  in  the  town.  And  my  suit  to  their 
Honours  is  that  my  privileged  servant  may  fare  but  as  others  of  my  rank 
and  place  now  do,  and  hereafter  have  done.  This  very  business  has  been 
debated  before  the  Vice-Chancellor  in  Consistory  and  Court  where  upon 
mature  deliberdtion  and  with  all  bumble  regard  to  the  Lords'  order  and  His 
Majesty's  letters  patent  the  cause  was  sentenced  and  the  said  Everard 
Fathers  condemned  according  to  the  statute  in  that  case  provided  for  all 
the  time  he  exercised  bis  trade  before  his  privilege,  but  since  it  the  Vice- 
Chancellor  was  of  opinion  he  might  set  up  trading  by  virtue  of  our 
charter  and  the  rather  because  this  Fathers  has  served  as  journeyman 
among  the  petitioners  these  ten  or  eleven  years.  The  Vice- Chancellor  has 
both  his  hands  full  of  business  betwixt  this  and  the  Commencement 
otherwise  himself  had  presently  given  the  Lords  an  account  of  his  pro- 
ceedings, and  if  it  shall  please  the  Lords  to  respite  the  inhibiting  of  the 
party  and  the  ordering  of  the  business  until  after  the  Commencement  he 
will  then  cum  bono  deo  endeavour  to  give  them  satisfaction.  As  for  this 
present  return  of  mine  pray  to  do  me  the  favour  to  present  it  to  the  Board 
with  all  just  and  fair  advantage  to  my  cause  and  person.  If  yet  you  find 
this  answer  unsatisfactory  and  that  more  is  expected,  pray  do  me  the  favour 
to  let  me  know.(<>)

misBive,  the  second  the  summons  sent  to  the  Vice-chancellor,  and  the  thii4^ 
from  yourself.  The  citation  In  for  Jolm  Beale  but  I  shall  obey  it  quite  as 
readily  as  if  I  hiul  been  rightly  named  William.  If  I  knew  my  aceuaen 
I  would  desire  of  them  this  favour,  that  they  would  neitber  shrink  nor  delay. 
I  believe  they  will  do  that  vvhieh  they  think  will  do  me  most  harm  and  if 
they  can  hold  me  foul  play  till  Lbey  have  spent  all  their  ehot.  I  trust  I 
shall  find  favourahle  juatice  from  the  Honourable  Court  (of  High  Commiseion) 
and  all  fair  assistance  from  yourself*  My  comfort  is  if  every  article  as  they 
framed  it,  put  into  the  Parh'anient  against  me»  had  been  in  my  sermon,  yet 
not  a  syllable  would  have  been  false,  though  indiscreet.  Wlnit  those  faith- 
fully deposed  to  Go^d,  the  King  and  the  Church  shall  have  to  look  for  is 
shown  by  the  Puritans'  usage  of  me.  My  good  name  is  already  bespattered 
all  over  England,  in  Cambridge  and  St  John^s,  and  worst  of  all  it  has  already

July  29.     Sir  John  Lambo  to  Dr  Coain  and  Dr  Beale  : 

It  was  the  clerk's  fault  that  pat  "John"  for  *' William '*  and  it  i8  now 
mended,  do  you  but  mend  all  elae.  Now  for  your  adveraarieii  it  will  not  be

hereafter  if  you  were  the  Curate  of  St  Miiry's  you  mif^ht  perhapR  do  much 
that  way.  But  if  you  come  there  in  your  ffcholafttic  couri«e  yoo  come  not  for

Burplioe  nor  a  cappe  [cope]  but  to  preach  the  Word  i  bo  you  there.  Be^idt^M 
where  did  you  learn  to  thieuten  the  ruritjtns  if  ever  you  get  out  of  thtir 
hands  ?  You  do  not  cout^ider  tbat  ib^y  timy  Uud  you  to  the  peace  and  the

I  couoeiTe  it  will  advantage  my  cause  if  the  ariioles  come  in,  but  to  find 
out  who  they  are  is  hard  and  for  me  to  desire  my  foes  to  do  me  a  good  turn 
is  improper.  If  I  eould  command  their  appearance  I  would,  although  that 
were  to  proceed  ei  oflScio  against  myself.  Yet  were  1  certainly  informed  of 
thero  I  would  write  them  a  challenge.  One  of  the  grandees  of  our  University 
who  was  reported  to  be  a  chief  party  utterly  disclaims  it  to  the  Vice-Chau-

1  lately  received  a  dii plicate  from  my  Lord  Keeper  and  after  that  a 
direction  from  yon  sent  by  the  Bishop  of  Ely  aboot  the  taking  and 
fidiuiniHteriDg  of  the  oath  in  thii)  University.  I  beseech  you  to  let  me 
know  if  I  Bhall  expect  any  other  direction  therein  than  what  1  have 
already,  A  great  noise  is  made  by  them  that  have  got  sight  of  it  elsewhere 
about  the  oraiRsion  of  the  word  **  ropish,*'  which  I  believe  ia  nothing  but  the 
scribe's  error,  and  about  the  unc^rtninty  of  the  "Jtc,"  whereat  mRny  fmwani 
men  are  likely  to  stick.  If  there  be  any  thought  of  altering  the  former  and 
sentling  out  a  new  oomniiasion,  I  would  represent  to  you  an  observation 
concerning  this  University,  By  the  com  mission  already  Bent  the  Vice* 
Chancellor  is  to  administer  the  oath  to  the  several  HcAds  of  Colleges  and 
all  others  that  have  taken  Holy  Orders,  all  Masters  of  Arts,  all  Bachelor* 
aud  Doctors  of  Divinity,  Law  and  Physic  etc.  resident  in  the  University. 
And  then  the  Hejids  of  ColIegeR  are  likewise  commanded  to  administer  the 
same  oalh  to  all  per^i^nf^  resident  in  their  several  houses  that  have  taken  the 
degrees  above  mentioned.  Now  the  former  words  comprehending  all  that 
live  in  Colleges,  unleas  an  exception  be  addt^d  after  this  manner,  *^ residents 
in  this  University  ami  not  members  of  any  College  or  Hall,"  both  the  Vio»- 
Chancollor  and  the  Heads  are  required  to  give  the  oath  to  the  same  persona, 
though  I  presnme  the  meaning  is  not  as  the  words  imply  that  the  same 
persons  shall  take  the  oath  twice.  These  times  are  exceedingly  bod.  I  vras 
ftbout  to  crave  of  you  in  two  or  three  lines  to  signify  his  Majesty's  pleAnnrc, 
Bignified  to  yoa  when  I  was  fir^t  chosen  Vice-Chancellor,  to  the  Dean  of 
Durham  for  the  allowance  of  my  dividend  there  Ibis  year,  wherein  I  have

any  church  or  other  place  left  to  me  in  that  county,  when  all  I  have  to  live 
on  is  in  the  bands  of  t}ie  rebels.  I  beseoeh  God  send  me  better  tiine«  and

On  the  6th  of  August,  the  following  Articles  were  exhibited  in 
Parliament,  against  William  Beale,  D.D.,  Master  of  St  John's  Coll^;e. 

1.  That  he  presumptaoasly  preached  a  sermon  at  St  Panrs  in  London, 
1640 :  which  did  not  only  contain  Hereticall  Doctrine,  but  did  also  applaud 
&  extoU  the  Papists,  to  be  the  King's  truest  subjects,  &  most  loyall  in  the 
whole  kingdome. 

2.  That  in  another  sermon  at  the  same  Church,  he  did  positively 
confirm  with  an  audacious  confidence  k  insolency,  that  the  Puritans  were 
traytors  to  the  Crown,  in  three  respects  (or  at  least  as  bad  as  traytors). 
1.  of  their  obstinacy,  2.  of  their  Schismaticall  Religion,  8.  of  their  Dis- 
loyaltie.  And  therefore,  in  his  opinion,  they  either  ought  by  coercion  to  be 
compelled  to  their  conformity,  or  to  suffer  extremity  of  Law. 

3.  That  by  sufficient  proof  &  authority  he  preached  in  St  Marie's 
against  the  subjects  freedome  &  liberty. 

4.  That  in  the  same  Sermon,  he  sayd  it  was  a  sinn  of  damnation  not 
to  bow  at  the  name  of  Jesus,  &  his  argument  he  produced  out  of  the 
Scripture  false  quoted,  &  that  the  sinn  was  the  same,  for  not  bowing  with 
submissive  reverence  to  the  Communion  Table,  both  at  our  first  entrance, 
<fe  departure  out  of  the  Church. 

5.  That  in  his  Colledge,  he  did  most  Tyrannically  usurp  conformity, 
A  did  exult  in  a  most  Majesticall  way,  commanding  the  Deans  of  the  said 
colledge,  to  execute  the  inflictions  of  severe  punishments,  on  all  those 
who  would  not  observe  Conformity:  as  to  bow  very  low,  at  the  ooming 
in  at  the  Cbappell  to  the  Communion  Table,  &  likewise  at  their  going  out 
thereof,  without  any  exception  both  of  tbe  Fellows,  Scholers,  &  Students 
of  the  said  Colledge. 

6.  That  because  those  Papisticall  Innovations  did  oppose  the  pious 
consciences  of  some,  which  would  not  observe  them,  there  were  four 
expelled  upon  the  non-performance  thereof. 

7.  That  after  the  expulsion  of  those,  he  commanded  the  President, 
Lecturers,  A  Deaues,  to  admit  none  into  the  Colledge,  unless  they  tooke  an 
absolute  Oath  of  the  performance  thereof. 

8.  That  he  was  the  sole  eucourager  of  Dr  Cosins  in  his  Vicechancellor- 
ship,  to  tyrannize  in  that  Jesuiticall,  Popish,  &  Canterburian  Religion, 
which  doth  manifestly  appear,  first,  that  by  his  speciall  meanes,  he  was 
elected  Vicechancellor,  then  by  his  often  frequenting  &  encourageing  him, 
unto  Tyrannicall  usurpation,  &  publick  promulgation,  of  that  Romish 
Religion. 

9.  That  he  commanded  the  Deanes  of  the  said  Colledge,  to  severely 
punish,  according  to  the  expresst  infliction,  who  would  not  likewise  convert 
their  face  toward  the  East,  at  Glory  be  to  the  Father^  dbc.^  &  many  times  in 
Divine  Service,  so  that  he  did  luxuriously  introduce  Popish  innovations 
&  ceremonies. 

10.  That  at  the  offering  at  the  Communion,  he  compelled  the  Fellows 
to  give  12  pence,  the  Batchellors  of  Arts  8  pence,  &  the  Pensioners  6  pence.

procure  any  more  money  out  of  our  Countie,  without  an  ordinance,  or 
some  other  coercive  power  to  levy  the  same,  we  humbly  beseech  you 
to  consider  the  extraordinary  charges  this  countrie  hath  been  putt  unto, 
by  Allarums,  that  it  was  agreed  by  the  Committees  of  the  whole  Associacion 
at  Bury,  that  those  Frontiers  to  which  Allarums  first  came,  should  make 
all  possible  defence  that  may  be  without  reguard  of  Proporcions.  And  that 
the  whole  charge  should  afterwards  be  borne  by  the  whole  Associacion ; 
upon  hope  of  having  had  this  Ordinance  longe  since  sent  unto  us,  wee  got 
credditt  to  borrow  divers  greate  sommes  of  money,  which  long  sinoe  wee 
promised  to  have  repaid.  And  the  want  of  this  ordinance  is  a  great 
hindrance  to  us  in  our  credit!  to  borrowe  any  more  moneys.  Sir  wee  had 
yesterday  an  Alarum,  &  wee  wish  the  Honble  Houses  would  take  notice 
how  unable  wee  are  for  want  of  moneys  to  make  any  considerable  defence. 
Wee  beseech  you  to  present  our  humble  Peticion  to  the  Howse  to  be 
inabled  to  give  all  readie  obedience  to  your  Commands,  which  without  the 
speeding  of  the  said  Ordinances  to  us,  wee  are  altogether  unable  to  doe.

returned  last  night »  all  of  them  highly  extolling  the  king  for  his  great 
improvement.  Hee  argued  his  own  and  bis  i^ubjects  ease  with  each  of  them 
(one  by  one),  to  their  no  small  astonishment.  He  desired  a  speedy  remoore 
from  that  place  ;  but  back  to  Holmby,  and  those  parts,  be  will  by  no 
meanes.  He  told  the  generall,  that  those  which  brought  him  hither 
promised  that  they  would  carry  him  to  Newmarket;  and  he  hoped  that 
they  were  men  of  honour,  who  wouM  make  good  thetr  words.  Becreatixm 
he  mueh  desired ;  and  told  them  withalt,  that  if  they  would  not  take  ordtar 
for  his  remorall,  he  would  remove  himself e ;  for  confident  he  wai«  that  ther^ 
were  those  about  him  which  would  further  him  in  it.  Tliis  afternoon, 
therefore,  he  passes  through  Cambridge  to  Newmarket  faire,  for  thia  is  the

will  not  bring  him  into  the  head  of  the  army  at  the  rendevouz,  but  still 
quarter  him  at  the  back  of  the  arrny^  rather  then  he  should  be  accounted

not)  a  victory.  Their  head-quarters  were  last  night  at  Boyston,  and

My  son  delivered  the  mandate  to  the  Master  of  Pembroke  Hall,  Dr  Rob. 
Mabletoft,  who  promised  to  communicate  with  hiB  Fellows  and  then  give  an 
answer,  but  instead  of  doing  ho  he  has  privately  gone  to  Loudon,  to  prevail, 
as  Dr  Boldero  conceives,  with  the  ArehbiBhop  of  Canterbury  to  go  to  Lord 
Arlington  to  recall  the  mandate.  Pray  write  to  Mr  Williamson  to  indtioe 
Lord  Arlington  to  have  it  obeyed  and  not  taken  off  by  false  suggestions  and

January  7,     Dr  Edmund  Bijldoro  t«i  Williamson  : 

I  bad  a  letter  from  Thetford  about  Mr  Mar  tin  *r  son's  eoneems  at 
Pembroke  Hall.  They  were  then  very  much  troubled  that  they  had  do 
certainty  whether  that  affair  wonld  fipeed  or  no.  We  in  Cambridge  think  it 
Ht range  that  the  King's  letters  should  be  neglected  there,  long  heretofore  it 
used  not  to  be  ao,  and  I  am  sure  the  authority  ta  the  same  now  as  then. 
I  Hhall  not  engage  myself  now  in  a  dispute  of  what  ha^  passed  heretofore, 
but  if  i  may  be  serviceable  in  my  advice  for  the  future  to  let  you  know  how 
affairs  stand  in  that  college,  or  how  the  next  letters  are  to  be  directed,  for

sent  and  that  a  peremptory  one.  I  suppose  Lord  Arlington  will  wait  to  see 
what  return  will  be  made,  but  if  another  mandate  is  needful,  I  l>eg  leave 
to  give  you  another  letter  before  it  come  to  the  college,  being  acquainted 
with  their  statutes  and  eustomH  and,  if  necessary,  I  can  prove  there  has 
been  a  Fellowship  statutably  void  these  three  years^  as  I  believe  their

Dr  Ralph  Cudworth,  and  I  resolved  to  do  all  we  oould  for  him,  but  I  heard 
at  a  coffee  house  that  there  was  a  congregation  yesterday,  at  which  a  letter 
was  read  from  the  Chancellor  giving  liberty  by  the  King's  late  concession  to 
the  University  to  choose  whom  they  think  fit  as  beadle,  notwithstanding 
his  Majesty's  letter  on  Barker's  behalf,  and  both  houses  went  up  to  desire 
the  Vice-Chancellor  that  thanks  might  be  returned  to  our  Chancellor  in  the 
name  of  the  University.  I  wish  Barker  well  and  thank  you  for  the 
opportunity  of  his  aoquaintanoe.(°)

There  will  be  3  beadle's  places  void  before  long,  and  I  apprehend  the

might  be  chosen,  if  you  will  write  to  the  Vice-Chanoellor  to  promote  his 
being  nominated,  for  then  both  the  freedom  of  elections  and  the  end  of  the

to  Williamson : 

I  have  not  been  wanting  in  my  endeavours  to  promote  Chris.  Barker's 
interests  but  the  meetings  of  the  Heads  have  been  less  frequent,  through 
the  small  pox  being  so  rife  in  the  Colleges  and  town.  I  find  the  minority 
of  them  are  against  any  one  coming  in  by  mandate,  and  in  favour  of  Marm. 
Urlin,  and  a  free  nomination  for  the  next  vacancy,  as  Urlin  lost  it  the  last 
time  by  only  one  or  two  votes.  Barker  has  made  interest  with  the  Vice-

that  choice  woqM  be  v«ry  kindly  taken  by  his  Mftjefity.  There  is  -rjirj 
a  man  of  note  in  the  University  who  haa  not  been  solicited  by  lelt4^i>^  frH^ 
London  by  the  Duku'a  friends,  and  that  whioh  has  f^iven  them  a  great 
advantage  in  the  earlinefl»  of  theni,  for  it  happened  that  they  came  wh«o 
the  University  waa  m*it  together  In  a  full  bodyi  when  finding  none  to  appear 
BR  a  competitor  they  immediately  visited  (a  cnatom  in  the  University)  the 
memWrn  of  the  particninr  colleges  in  hia  behalf,  and  with  that  sncceas  that 
a  great  many  then  promised  their  voices  before  they  well  considered  what 
they  did.  Dr  Turner,  chaplain  to  the  Duke  of  York,  has  engaged  vigorously 
in  yotir  Honour's  concern  and  baa  all  the  voices  of  the  largest  college  in  the 
Univerisity,  besides  what  he  boa  gained  abroad  entirely  for  your  lordship. 
Mr  Page,  once  Secretary  to  the  Duke  of  Ormonde,  haa  secured  the  votes  of 
a  great  part  of  his  college.  I  am  secnred  of  a  yooii  number  and  some  of 
these  from  Trinity  CoUe^'e^  where  the  Duke's  interest  was  higheat  on  the 
account  that  he  was  once  a  meoilier  of  that  society.  The  impediment  I  find 
is  that  we  came  loo  late,  so  many  are  pre-engaged,  aud  this  is  so  unfortunately 
true  that  I  a«;Hure  myself  that  had  I  come  from  London  on  Saturday  night 
which  I  proferred  to  do,  the  business  had  been  effected.  But  npon  the 
whole  we  are  as  yet  resolved  not  to  bring  your  Honour's  name  upon  the 
stage  nnlesfl  we  can  gain  a  more  considerable  party  which  we  hope  to  do  if 
we  can  prevail  with  the  Vice  Chancellor  to  allow  tlie  time;  for  I  verity 
believe  the  other  party  vnH  cool  by  degrees  and  they  that  manage  that  came 
are  ao  sensible  of  it  that  they  endeavour  to  hasten  the  election  while  the 
heat  laHtcth.  The  statute  says  that  they  mast  choose  within  fourteen  dayiv 
and  Dr  Turner  intends  immediately  to  go  to  the  Vice-Cbancellor  to  protriiCt 
the  lime,  and  that  the  day  may  not  be  as  at  present  intended  next  Thuradayi 
for  if  it  hapiiens  to  be  thus  sudden  we  are  not  so  sufficiently  prepared  for  thi» 
contest  as  to  run  the  hazard  of  a  triaU  That  which  gives  me  hopes  that  a 
delay  may  be  advantageous  is  that  a  man  may  read  iu  the  very  countenance 
of  some  a  sorrow  that  they  engaged  ao  precipitaiitly.  My  lord,  my  whole 
design  in  this  undertaking,  whatsoever  the  issue  of  it  proves,  wae  to  give 
your  Honour  some  testimony  of  the  great  sense  I  have  of  those  many  favourft 
I  have  suocesBively  received  from  your  lordship,  Poatcript»  If  the  eleotion 
be  deferred  Sir  Robert  Carr  may  do  your  Honour  much  service.  They  were 
so  startletl  at  Dr  Turner's  coming  that  they  sent  immediately  an  expreva  to 
the  Duke  of  Buckingham,  and  we  suppose,  and  have  reason  to  think,  it  may 
be  for  his  Majesty's  letter  to  neoessiiate  the  University  to  the  choice.**' 
May  a  Cambridge  4  o'clock.  Th©  same  to  the  same : 
Since  1  wrote  my  last  we  have  had  a  pretty  fair  prospect  of  our  buaiiiect. 
Dr  Turner  sending  to  Clare  Hall  found  most  of  them  disengaged  and  in 
other  colleges  very  many  all  which  would  come  over  to  us.  What  we  ha4 
then  to  do  was  to  pergufuie  Mr  Vioe-Chanceyor  to  defer  the  Congregation  for 
the  eleiition  till  ^londay,  and  1  waited  on  him  thither  where  we  pressed  the 
businej^s  home,  and  I  made  bold  warmly  to  make  use  of  your  Honour's  name 
and  to  tell  him  it  was  a  great  piece  of  injustice  to  huddle  up  an  election 
after  such  a  manner.  I  believe  the  Secretary's  letter  haa  preposaeflaed  him.

Maj  11.     Dr  Thos.  Hill  to  Williamson,  writing  at  9  A.m, 

Our  adversaries  have  used  all  imaginable  industry  tii  compasaing  their 
dftBigQgf  and  yet  the  bell  now  ringing  for  the  congregation  they  are  not  ho 
secured  hut  that  they  fear  a  considerable  opposition.  Expi-esH  upon  express 
(an  they  giieased  at  our  motion)  has  gone  hence  to  the  Duke  and  returned 
again  from  him,  and  they  give  out  themHelves  that  there  has  not  been  less 
than  three  hundred  letters  to  several  persons  on  thiti  occiLsioii.  The  last 
expi*efi8  that  came  from  Wallingford  house  signified  {afi  one  told  me  that  saw 
it)  that  those  letters  that  then  came  would  balance  all  the  opposition  that 
Dr  Turner  or  the  Duke  of  Onnonde^s  ehaplatn  could  make—for  our  words 
aa  well  as  actions  have  been  very  punetually  related  in  their  despatehes. 
But  we  had  thrown  up  the  cards  before,  for  as  soon  as  the  congregation  was 
called  we  knew  the  game  was  lost.  Yours  coming  this  morning  at  5, 
Dr  Turner  went  to  the  Vice-Chancellor  whose  answer  waw  that  lie  had 
engiged  his  promise  to  Secretary  Trevor  and  to  the  Heads  (who  preased 
him  that  it  might  have  been  jcHterday)  that  he  would  not  defer,  not  only 
the  Congregation,  but  the  election  beyond  Thursilay.  So  1  have  not  nent 
the  itielosed  ta  Sir  Robert  Carr.  Yesterday  came  Mr  Conell  and  with  him 
two  Doctors  from  Bnry,  who  had  a  very  good  interest  in  the  University,  and 
would  have  prevailed  far  had  we  not  been  straitened  in  point  of  time»  but 
we  all  concluded  nothing  was  to  be  done  to  purpose  the  election  being  next 
day.  The  sober  part  of  the  University  will  not  sttek  privately  to  say  they 
do  uoi  like  the  Duke  for  their  Chancellor,  though  they  give  their  voices  for 
him.  Ne  noceat  is  the  ground  of  their  choiee  to  which  a  friend  of  ourn 
answers  '*  That  is  to  sacritiee  to  the  DeviL'*  There  in  a  story  spread  about 
the  town,  and  made  use  of,  that  the  Duke  drolling  on  the  University  on 
oeeasion  of  some  scholars  coming  to  see  tho  King  at  Newmarket,  a  stander 
by  in  their  hearing  should  say  that  his  father  had  a  kiudnesa  for  the  place. 
With  his  usual  preface  to  what  he  is  about  to  say  he  replied  that  if  they 
would  choose  him  Chancellor  ho  would  he  too.  Letters  have  come  here 
from  some  persons  which  I  could  not  have  believed,  and  commeudations  of 
the  Duke  which  I  am  sure  they  do  not  believe  themselves.  Some  are  so 
modest  as  to  relate  his  virtuea  with  a  parenthesis  of  **as  those  that  know 
him  best  say,"  or  **as  is  generally  reported/'  or  some  qualification  in  that 
kind.  But  the  bell  has  done  ringing  and  I  am  goiug  to  see  the  issue  of  this 
affair,  and  we  intend  as  soon  as  the  Gongiegation  is  done  to  send  an

that  Bt  John's  men  were  reserved  men  to  the  last  until  I  licensed  tbem  to

Monmouth's  name  too,  but  the  visibly  major  part  was  fixed  and  nothing  but

I  have  been  Deputy  Professor  of  Physic  for  Dr  GUiison  these  ten 
and  managed  the  chair,  so  that  he  designed  and  everyone  expects  me  to  be~ 
his  successor.  Now  I  have  intelligence  that  one  Dr  Brady  is  endeavooring 
to  get  the  reversion  without  Dr  Glisson's  knowledge  or  consent.  His 
Majesty  was  rooved  two  or  threo  years  ago  on  my  behalf,  and  then  it  was 
thought  fit  that  no  reversion  of  such  a  place  Bhoutd  be  granted.  I  beseech 
you  therefore  to  endeavour  to  stop  it  now  or  if  there  be  any  likelihood  of 
a  grant,  to  move  for  me  to  my  lord  Arlington  for  the  reversion.  On  the

claim  :  and  understanding  that  the  whole  University  had  chiefly  a 
consideration  for  Dr  Paman,  of  St  John's,  and  Mr  Craven  («)  of  Trinity 
Collie,  he  recommended  them  both  to  be  nominated,  thinking  it 
very  reasonable  that  in  a  nomination,  before  the  difference  oould  be 
determined,  the  Heads  should  have  regard  to  the  inclination  of  the 
body,  especially  as  all  were  agreed  in  two  men,  who  were  very  worthy 
and  very  fit  for  the  place.  These  conciliatory  suggestions  were  not 
attended  to,  for  on  the  4th  of  March  a  majority  of  the  Heads  nominated 
Dr  Paman  and  Mr  Ralph  Sanderson,  also  of  St  John's.  On  the  5th, 
before  the  polling  commenced,  Anthony  Marshall,  Qeoige  Chamber- 
laine,  Humphrey  Babington,  William  Lynnet,  John  Hawkins,  Isaac 
Newton,  and  other  members  of  the  Senate,  delivered  to  the  Registrary 
a  written  protest  against  the  proceedings,  and  121  members  of  the 
Senate  voted  for  Craven,  and  only  98  for  Paman.  The  latter  was 
however  admitted  the  same  day  by  the  Vice-Chancellor,  and  Mr  Craven 
appears  to  have  contented  himself  with  a  protest  against  the  validity 
of  the  election  and  admission  of  his  competitor.  (^)

England  a  cau»e  wherein  the  Master  and  Fellows  of  St  Peter'n  College  were 
Plain iiifs  and  the  Attorney  tieneral  and  others  Defendants.  The  object  of 
the  suit  was  to  establish  the  right  of  the  College  to  the  surplus  rents  after

opinion  that  the  Professor  was  entitled  to  the  whole  rents  aud  profits  of  the

Reynolds,  Fellow  of  Eton  College  and  Canon  of  Exeter.C*) 

The  account  of  King's  College's  recovery  of  their  Rights  to  chase 
their  own  Provost. 
In  1689,  the  year  after  the  revolution,  Dr  Copleston,  Provost  of  King's 
College,  died,  when  the  College  thought  they  had  a  fair  opportunity  of 
recovering  the  right  the  founders  Statutes  had  given  them,  of  choosing 
their  own  Provost,  of  which  the  King's  the  Founders  sucoessers,  had 
deprived  them,  accordingly  appointed  a  day  of  Election.  But  in  the  mean 
time,  a  false  brother,  by  name  Hartliffe,  rode  up  to  court,  &  acquainted 
them,  that  by  the  Provost's  death,  a  place  was  become  vacant  in  the  King's 
gift,  hoping  thereby  to  make  some  interest  for  himself,  as  it  afterwaids 
appeared.  Soon  after  which  came  down  a  Mandamus  from  the  King  to  the 
College,  to  choose  for  their  Provost  Mr  Upman,  Fellow  of  Eton.  In  answer 
to  this,  the  College  sent  up  a  Kemonstrance,  setting  forth  the  right  they  had 
of  themselves  to  choose  their  own  Provost,  granted  by  the  Founder,  his

Ajeety^s  Predecessor,  in  hia  Statute,  wliicli  they  hoped  he  would  not 
infringei  much  leBS  impose  upon  them  a  man  that  had  nmched  to  destroy 
that  consfcitutioD,  which  his  Majesty  came  m  to  prenerve;  for  he  had 
(•reached  a  sermon,  id  Eton  Cbapel,  id  favour  of  the  ToleratioD,  granted 
by  King  J&me%*9  Proclamation,  to  Chrifltiaus  of  all  Dt-nominations,  as  well 
Roman  Gatholka,  as  Protestant  Dissentere  :  which  Proclamation  wati  com- 
manded to  be  read  in  all  the  Churches,  &  the  Biahopfi  who  petitioned  against 
it^  were  sent  to  the  Tower. 

I,  who  waR  then  in  the  sixth  form,  waa  present  at  the  Sermon »  &  I 
rememt>er  well,  that  the  hoys  could  not  help  observing  the  faces  of  the 
Fellows  &  Masters  there  presentt  scorn  in  some,  A  indignation  in  others. 
Upon  this  remonstrance,  the  Court  immediately  dropped  Mr  Upman,  but 
presently  sent  down  a  new  Mandamug  to  the  College  to  chose  Sir  Isaac 
Newton  for  thpij-  Provost.  In  answer  to  which  the  College  represented, 
ihat  to  choose  Sir  Isaac  Newton  would  be  acting  contrary  to  the  fonnders 
statute  which  expreflsly  enjoins  them  to  choose  for  their  Provost  one  who 
was,  or  had  heen  a  member  of  one  of  his  Royal  Foundations,  either  at 
Eton  or  King's ;  still  in  Bitting  on  their  right  of  choosing.  Upon  tbis  a 
third  Mandamus  was  sent  down  to  elect  Mr  HartliGf :  but  of  this  the 
College  being  aware,  every  ofSoer  took  care  to  be  out  of  the  way,  every 
Fellows  door  was  shntt,  A  no  one  at  home  :  so  that  when  the  messenger 
came,  finding  no  one  to  deliver  the  Mandamus  to,  he  laid  it  on  the  Hall 
Table,  from  whence  at  night,  by  an  unknown  hand,  it  was  thrown  over 
the  wall. 

Within  a  day  or  two  the  Election  came  on.  when  Mr  Roderick,  upper 
Master  of  Eton  School,  had  the  unanimous  vote  of  all  the  Electors  but 
three,  of  which  last  Hartliff  was  one.  And  when  this  was  done,  the 
College  conld  not  hut  be  sensible  that  they  had  incnrred  the  displeasure 
of  the  court,  who,  they  heard,  threatened  thera  with  vengeance.  Nor 
was  the  person  they  had  chose  dtily  qualified  :  for  by  the  Statute,  he 
onght  to  he  in  Orders,  A  a  Doctor,  neither  of  which  Mr  Roderick  then 
was.  But  this  was  soon  rectified  :  for  the  University,  at  the  intercession 
of  the  College,  immediiitely  gave  him  a  Doctors  Degree,  for  which  he 
was  to  perform  his  exercise*^  the  following  term ;  &  Dr  Spratt,  Bt«?hop 
of  Boohester,  gave  him  private  Ordination  at  WeHtmin.ster,  aseif^ted  by 
Dr  Ajinsly,  Dean  of  Exeter  A'  prebend  of  Westminster,  as  he  himself, 
Qor  Dean  told  me.  And  then  to  defend  themselves  from  a  law  suit,  with 
which  they  were  threatened,  the  Society  passed  a  vote,  that  there  should 
be  no  Dividend  till  the  law  suit  wan  at  an  end;  St  if  that  should  not 
be  snjfieient,  next  to  convert  all  the  college  plate  into  money,  for  the 
same  nse;  ^  lastly »  if  more  was  wanting,  to  strike  ofif  the  aeoond  diah 
for  a  time.  And  at  the  Rame  time  they  applied  to  all  the  men  of  ^oality 
A  fortune  then  living,  that  had  been  bred  at  King's  College,  craving  their 
aid  to  enable  them  to  carry  on  this  Law  Suit;  In  which  they  met  with 
good  sncoesa,  Lord  Dartmouth  alone,  the  Colleges  High  Btt'ward,  sab- 
•eriHng  a  Thousand  pounds  towards  it.  It  was  thought  however  mo«t 
pmdent  to  prevent  a  Law  Suit  if  they  could ;   &  therefore  used  their

utmoBi  codeavours  to  pwity  the  Conrt,  <fe  reconcile  Ihem,  if  possible, 
their  election  ;  A,  by  the  intereKt  of  their  friends,  prevailed  so  far  as  to 
gain  an  hearing,  which  waa  appointed  to  be  at  Ebimpton  Court.  To  be 
their  Agents  thero,  the  College  chose  out  of  their  body,  three  repre- 
Bentativ©8,  Oliver  Doyley,  who,  as  having  been  Secretary  to  the  Eiiibaaffy 
at  ConBtaniinople,  was  Hupposed  to  know  how  great  People  are  to  be 
addresfled;  Dr  Stanhope,  afterwards  Dean  of  Canterbury,  the  best  dia- 
potant  of  the  College,  A  generally  reputed  the  beet  Proctor  of  hia  time, 
in  the  University  of  Cambridge  ;  &  my  Totor,  John  Layton,  afi  reckoned 
the  best  Scholar  of  the  College ;  but  thick  of  hearing,  &  purblind.  When 
they  came  to  Hampton  Court  they  were  conducted  into  a  room  that 
opened  into  the  gallery  where  the  Attorney  and  Solicitor  Qeneral  came 
to  them,  to  whom  they  clearly  proved,  That  the  right  of  electing  the 
Provost  was  fixed  in  the  College  itaelf,  by  the  Grant  of  the  King,  the 
Founder,  &  by  the  statutes  themselves.  To  tbi^  the  Attorney  Geneial 
replied,  that  notwithstanding  the  Founders  Grant  to  tlie  College,  the  King's 
his  BuocessorB  had,  from  time  to  time,  pot  in  the  Provosts ;  &  then  pulled 
out  a  long  list  of  all  the  Provosts,  of  thla  [College]  put  in  by  the  King, 
^  that  by  another,  &  »o  on,  to  the  present  time,  concluding,  with  some 
warmth,  that  the  King  could  uot  but  highly  resent  their  disputing  with 
him,  what  had  never  been  disputed  with  any  of  his  predecessors.  At  which 
John  Layton,  not  a  little  nettled,  rose  upi  when  at  that  very  instant,  was 
au  hush,  A  a  whisper,  that  the  Queen  waa  coming  through  the  Oallery, 
&  all  the  company  rose  up;  but  John,  through  the  defect  of  his  eyes,  ifr  eati, 
observed  neither,  but  knocking  down  his  hand  upon  the  Table,  cried  out 
with  a  loud  voice  :  Mr  Attorney  Generall,  if  w©  must  bear  the  grievanooa  of 
former  Heigns,  then  h  the  King  in  vain  come  in :  which  words  the  Queen 
heard  not  a  little  startled. 

So  they  were  soon  ordered  to  depart,  being  threatened  with  no  less 
than  expulsion.  Then,  probably,  waa  it,  as  some  people  say,  inserted  in 
Bozne  foreign  Gnzettes,  that  K,  William  was  going  to  do,  what  King  James 
waB  expelled  for  doing  ;  but  1  cannot  say  that  I  saw  it  tn  any  paper  of  Ihoae 
times.  This  i»  certain,  that  they  did  not  think  lit  to  pat  their  threats  ill 
execution ;  which  the  College  soon  knew :  for  the  King  going  to  the 
Baoes  at  Newmarket,  took  Cambridge  in  his  way,  where,  amongst  other 
things,  he  vi«itod  King's  College  Chapel,  attended  by  their  Chancellor,  the 
Duke  of  Somerset,  and  many  other  of  the  Nobility,  when  he  told  the 
College,  that  had  waited  there  to  receive  him,  that,  at  the  interceasion  of 
his  friend  here,  the  Duke  of  Somerset,  their  Chancellor,  he  gave  his 
coDBeni,  that  the  man  they  had  chosen,  should  be  their  Provost:  and  then 
John  Layton,  wlio  was  before  prepared,  made  a  speech  of  thanks  to  the 
King,  on  his  knees :  which  being  ended,  the  Chancellor  came  from  the 
King  to  the  College,  and  said,  that  it  was  his  Majesty*s  Pleasure,  that  the 
person,  who  had  made  the  speech,  should  go  out  Doctor  in  Divinity.  But 
John  I^ayton  begged  the  Chancellor  to  ri'tiirn  his  most  humble  and  dutifnll 
thanks  to  his  Majesty,  for  the  great  favour  intended  him,  of  which  be 
should  ever  retain  the  highest  gratitude,  bnt  lo  inleroede  with  his  Majesty

and  proposals  are  subjoined. 

To    the   Bight    Honourable,   Charles,    Lord   Viscount    Townshend, 
Principal  Secretary  of  State  to  his  Majesty  King  George. 
My  Lord, 

In  obedience  to  your  Lordship's  commands,  I  have  drawn  up, 
in  the  following  Articles,  what  occurs  to  me  as  most  proper  to  be  done 
for  the  Reforming  of  the  two  Universities  of  this  land,  so  as  to  make 
these  noble  Schools  of  learning  best  answer  the  end,  for  which  they  are 
appointed.  I  have  offered  all  I  could  think  of;  not  that  I  expect  all, 
that  I  have  offered,  should  be  put  in  execution ;  but  only  that,  as  the  more 
is  laid  before  your  Lordship,  the  larger  field  you  may  have  for  election. 
Neither  do  I  think,  that  I  have  suggested  all  that  is  necessary :  others  may 
add  as  many  things  more,  altogether  as  fit  to  be  considered  for  the 
accomplishing  of  what  is  proposed.  Having  lived  seventeen  years  in 
Oxford,  I  am  well  acquainted  with  that  University.  I  cannot  say  the  same 
for  Cambridge,  having  all  my  notices  of  that  learned  body  only  by  enquiry 
and  hear-say ;  and  therefore  it  is  convenient,  that  others  be  consulted,  who 
have  as  full  a  knowledge  of  that  University  as  I  have  of  the  other,  that  so 
all  things  may  be  ordered,  as  will  best  suit  the  constitutions  and  usages  of 
both  these  bodies,  and  best  conduce  to  the  reforming  of  whatsoever  may  be 
amiss  or  defective  in  each  of  them.

Kothing  certainly  can  be  of  greater  import&noe  to  the  NatioDp  or  better 
deseire  the  care  of  the  Public,  than  the  well  ordering  and  regulating  thoe« 
places  of  public  etlncation.  Here  oitr  Nobility  and  Gentry,  here  our  Divines, 
here  our  Phyaicianfl,  and  here  our  Lawyers^  and  Civilianfi,  all  of  them ; 
and  the  other,  that  is*  thoBe  of  the  Coniinon  Law,  for  the  most  part,  receive 
ibeir  education ;  and,  as  far  as  they  proBt  thereby,  doth  the  NatioQ  receive 
the  benefit  thereof  from  each,  in  those  stations  and  duties,  which  they  are 
afterwards  called  unto.  But,  if  these  fountains  grow  corrupt ,  and  instead 
of  virtue,  religion,  and  learning,  vice,  impiety,  and  ignorance  gain  the 
prcvalency  in  them  ;  then  nothing  but  dirty  and  filthy  streams  will  flow  from 
thence,  all  over  the  land^  and  every  part  of  it  will  be  tainted  and  polluted 
with  the  corruptions  thereof. 

Most  foreign  Universities  have  their  CuratorB  and  Supervisors,  who 
take  care  from  time  to  tim^,  that  all  thinga  be  so  ordered  in  them,  as 
may  render  them  best  useful  for  the  end,  for  which  they  are  imitituted; 
that,  90  becoming  nurseries  of  virtue  and  learning,  all  professions  of  men, 
foUowing  literature,  may  be  bred  up  in  tb^m  in  such  a  manner  as  may 
best  enable  them  to  serve  their  generation.  And  for  tliis  purpose,  with 
us,  all  the  particular  CoUegea  in  both  our  Universities  have  their  re- 
gpeotive  Visitors,  who,  from  time  to  time,  watch  over  them  with  their 
inspection,  regulate  their  disorders,  and  remedy  all  emerging  abuses  in 
them.  But  there  is  no  such  visitatorial  power  over  the  whole  body 
aggregate  in  either  of  the  said  Universities.  Formerly  the  Bishops,  in 
whoee  Dioceses,  and  the  Archbishop  of  Csnterbury,  in  whose  province 
they  Blood,  visited  these  learned  bodies,  and  regulated  all  disorders  arising 
in  them;  but  this  power  hath  long  since  been  extinguished  by  Papal 
•xemptions.  Tho  laiit,  that  used  it,  was  Archbishop  Arundell,  who,  in 
the  time  of  King  Bichard  the  Second,  made  hia  Metaphorical  [Metro- 
political?]  Visitation  extend  to  both  the  Universities.  But,  since  that 
time,  neither  the  Bishops  of  the  Diocessea,  nor  the  Archbishop  of  tho 
Province,  have  any  more  meddled  in  this  matter,  by  their  ordinary  juris- 
diction :  For,  what  Cardinal  Pool  did  herein,  was  by  an  extraordinary 
power,  as  Legate,  apptjinted  by  the  Pope,  for  the  reducing  of  this  land 
again  to  the  Roman  yoke.  But,  although  now  the  Papal  authority  he 
extiognished  in  this  land,  and  thereby  the  visitatorial  power  over  thesa 
two  bodies  is  either  reverted  to  those,  who  had  it  before,  or  else  is,  with 
other  branches  of  the  Papal  jurisdiction,  vested  in  the  Crown  by  the 
Statutes  of  the  Realm  ;  yet  neither  the  one,  nor  the  other,  have  ever 
since  meddled  with  it.  In  the  time  of  King  William,  a  proposal  was 
made  of  visiting  both  the  Universities  by  a  Royal  Visitation;  and  the 
Lord  Chancellor,  Sommers.  was  for  it;  but  the  Lord  Chief  Justice  Holt 
giving  his  opinion  to  the  contrary,  the  King  answered,  That,  if  they 
could  not  agree  it  to  be  a  clear  case,  he  would  not  meddle  with  it ;  and 
so  this  matter  dropped.  And  therefore,  to  put  the  thing  beyond  doubt, 
an  Act  of  Parliament  now  seems  necessary;  and  indeed,  without  that 
authority,  many  of  the  Articles  I  now  offer  cannot  be  put  in  execution. 
And  I  cannot  but  suppose,  that,  whenever  this  matter  should  be  brought

before  tbe  two  HonBen,  it  will  be  refldily  concurred  with.  For  whnl 
or  Greotleman  tB  there  in  thin  Realm,  who  woqUI  noi,  when  be  sendii  a  too 
to  either  of  thcAe  UniverBities,  be  desirous  to  receive  him  bade  ftgua 
from  thence  uncormpted  iu  his  morals,  and  improved  In  hie  knowledlge? 
And,  if  so,  all  of  them  surelj  will  be  glad  to  concur  with  such  propoaali, 
as  shall  be  judged  neeeFsary  for  the  effecting  of  it.  We  often  hear  of  the 
complaints  of  such,  who  have  been  disappointed  by  the  miscarriAgee  of 
their  sons,  and  other  relations  when  sent  to  our  Uuiveraities  ;  and  what  can 
be  more  reasonable,  than  that  all  those  should  put  to  their  helping  hand, 
to  prevent  all  such  miscarriages  for  the  future?  Certainly,  noUiing  can 
be  of  greater  benefit  to  the  Nobility  and  Gentry  of  this  Kealm,  than  to 
have  thoi^o  Places  of  education  bo  formed  and  secored,  that  they  may 
with  safety  send  their  sons  thither,  for  their  being  brought  up  in  virtue 
and  learning,  and  receive  them  safely  back  again,  improved  in  both.  And 
the  only  way  fur  the  accomplishing  of  thiu,  is,  from  time  to  time,  to  oniaia 
such  Kegulatione  of  order  and  diMcipUne  iu  them,  as  emerging  corrupt ioui, 
from  time  to  time,  sihall  make  nccej^saiy  for  thii^  purpose ;  and  to  eiitabliali 
such  a  viiiitaiorial  authority,  as  shall  be  soflicient  lo  provide,  that  th«y  ba 
duly  executed. 

For  in  all  Governments  and  iJocieties,  corruptions  do»  with  time,  emet^, 
and  give  reason  for  new  lufititutions  to  correct  and  remove  them.  The 
corrupt  nature  of  man  is  every  where  prone  to  lead  heiit-o ;  but  never  more 
than  in  tho&e  Hc'cietieH  vvhioh  are  made  U[!i  mostly  of  the  younger  sort.  Foe 
thtir  huat  of  bluod,  and  want  of  discretiun,  usually  hurry  them  into  greater 
diaorderft,  than  others  are  commonly  guilty  of;  and  therefore  there  is  oo 
where  more  need  of  good  regulations  and  exact  order  of  discipline  to 
correct  ant!  repress  them,  tlian  among  such;  nor  any  where  a  grai^ter 
necesf^ity  of  ordaining  new  lawn,  from  time  to  time,  to  meet  with  SJii 
reform  fiucb  corruptions  and  di8ordera,  as  shall  from  time  to  time,  emerge 
among  them.  Were  all  things  with  ua  in  the  same  state,  as  wlieu  the 
present  order  and  di^ipline  of  our  Universities  was  first  formed,  it  might 
still  be  Bufiicieul  for  its  end.  Then  the  discipline  of  families  was  kept  up, 
schools  were  iu  good  order,  and  all  young  men  came  sober  to  the  UmTor- 
fiitiee ;  and  in  those  times  their  statutes,  well  executed,  might  be  foUj 
efectual  to  keep  them  so.  But,  now  the  discipline  of  families  is  neglected 
and  broken,  and  schools  grown  loose;  young  men  are  often  oorrapted, 
before  they  come  to  the  Universities,  and  bnng  vice  and  debauchery  thither 
with  them,  and,  by  their  ill  eitample,  corrupt  all  others,  whom  they  con* 
verse  with ;  and  therefore,  in  this  case,  for  the  well  regulating  of  thoe« 
places  of  public  education,  we  need  a  disi^ipliue,  that  shall  be  strong  enough « 
not  only  to  keep  those  sober,  who  shall  come  sober  to  them,  but  also  to 
reform  such,  who  shall  be  vitiated  and  corrupted  before  their  admittanoe 
into  them.  Besides  the  great  riches  of  the  Nation  have  produced  such  an 
excess  of  luxury  among  us,  in  the  present  age,  as  hath,  like  a  deluge, 
overflowed  the  whole  land,  and  broken  in  upon,  and  over-run  all  places  and 
all  orders  of  men  among  us,  and  much  altered,  for  the  worse,  the  whole 
genius  of  the  Nation  :    And  how  much  the  discipline  of  our  Universitiai

and  £80«  per  ann.  for  a  Fellow  Commoner,  was  looked  on  as  a  suffieient

Buch  of  my  PnpUs,  as  were  of  either  of  these  orderB,  and  always  found  it 
amply  to  Buffioe  for  both.  But  now,  ftcarce  £fiO*  per  ann-  for  the  formej-,  and 
£130.  per  ann.  for  the  latter,  will  serve  for  a  compleat  maintenance.  And  in 
proportion  hereto,  are  increased  the  expenoes  of  all  the  other  orders  and 
members  of  these  two  bodies. 

And  the  reformation  of  the  studies,  and  the  inforcing  of  application  and 
diljgenoe  in  them,  ia  as  much  wanting  in  both  these  Schools  of  lemming, 
aa  the  reformation  of  manners  in  them.  It  is  a  thing  of  melancholy 
reflexion  to  consider,  what  ignorance  we  often  find  in  those,  who  come  to 
be  examined  for  Orders.  Unless  the  Universities,  for  the  future,  breed  us 
better  men  for  the  Ministry,  it  is,  humanly  speaking,  utterly  impossible, 
that  the  Church  of  Christ,  which  is,  by  God's  mercy,  now  established  among 
as,  can  be  well  supported  against  those  many  Adversaries,  which  are,  at 
this  time,  on  every  side,  rising  up  against  it,  and  are,  with  the  utmoEt  oraft 
and  diligence,  whetting  ail  the  inatrumenis  of  hell  for  itn  i^ubvertion. 
Atheists,  Deiftts,  Socinians,  Ariana,  PreabyteriauB,  Independents,  Ana- 
baptists, and  other  Adveraaries  and  Sectaries,  surround  us  on  every  side, 
and  are  set,  as  in  battle  array,  agninst  ns :  and,  if  we  do  not  come  armed 
and  provided  nith  equal  knowledge  and  learning  to  the  conflict,  how  shall 
we  be  able  to  support  our  cause  against  them  ?  The  best  cause  may  suffer^

.  That  tliere  may  be  a  suitable  reward  to  the  aaid  ExaminerB  for 
their  pains  and  trouble,  it  be  orderod^  that  whereaa  in  the  UuiTersity  of 
Oxford  there  are  four  Lectures  of  no  u«e,  that  is,  of  Grammar,  Rhetoric* 
Logic  and  MeiaphyHice ;  thette  four  Lecturtja  be  abolished,  and  the  salaried, 
hitherto  paid  the  Readers  of  them,  be  settled  upon  the  four  Biiid  Examinera, 
and  that  the  like  method  be  taken  in  the  University  of  Carabridge,  for  the

55.  That  no  person  be  ailmltted  into  Orders  of  the  Church  of  Euglaud^

proficiency^  as  i^  required  in  the  said  Universities,  for  the  taking  of  the 
said  Degree  of  Batchelor  of  Arts. 

56y  That,  uhereas  the  rcsiort  of  Players  or  Actoi^  of  Interludea  has 
proved  of  great  prejudice  to  the  Haid  Universities,  in  corrupting  the  youth

Actors  of  Interludes  be  penmtted  to  couje  within  either  of  the  said  Uni-

their  protieiency  in  their  studies,  (|ualif)ed  themselves  for  the  Degree  of 
Batchelor  of  Arts,  it  l>e  urduined,  that  no  person,  for  the  future,  shall  be 
aUowod,  in  either  of  the  said  Universities,  to  put  on  the  Lawyer's  Gown, 
till  he  hath  first  taken  tht*  L^egrce  of  Batchelor  of  Art-?,  or,  till  three  years 
after  that,  he  be  admitted  to  take  the  Degree  of  Batchelor  of  Law. 

58,  That  us  to  the  taking  the  Degree  in  Physic,  the  University  of

were  powdered  with  the  ezactest  delicacy,  and  he  would  scold  his  laundress 
for  a  whole  morning  together  if  he  discovered  a  wry  plait  in  the  sleeve  of  his 
shirt  or  the  least  speck  of  dirt  on  any  part  of  his  linen.  He  rose  constantly 
to  chapel,  and  proceeded  afterwards  with  great  importance  to  breakfast, 
which  moderately  speaking  took  up  two  hours  of  his  morning,  when  this 
was  over  he  amused  himself  either  in  paring  his  nails  or  watering  two  or 
three  orange  trees  which  he  kept  in  his  chamber,  or  in  tilling  a  little  spot  of 
ground  about  six  feet  square,  which  he  called  his  garden,  or  in  changing  the 
situation  of  a  few  books  in  his  study,  the  Spectators  were  removed  into  the 
place  of  the  Tatlers  and  the  Tatlers  into  the  place  of  the  Spectators,  but 
generally  speaking  he  drew  on  his  boots  immediately  after  breakfast,  and 
rode  out  for  the  air,  having  been  told  that  a  sedentary  Ufe  is  destructive  of 
the  constitution,  and  that  too  much  study  impairs  the  health.  At  his  return 
home,  he  had  barely  time  to  wash  his  hands,  clean  his  teeth,  and  put  on  a 
fresh  powdered  wig,  before  the  Gollef^e  bell  summoned  him  to  dinner  in  the 
public  hall.  His  afternoons  were  spent  in  drinking  tea  with  some  worthy 
young  ladies  in  the  town,  who  all  esteemed  him  a  prodigious  genius,  and 
were  ready  to  laugh  at  his  wit  before  he  opened  his  mouth.  In  these 
agreeable  visits  he  remained  till  the  time  of  evening  chapel,  after  which 
supper  succeeded,  to  find  him  fresh  employment,  from  whence  he  repaired 
to  the  coffee-house,  and  then  to  some  engagement  at  a  friend's  room  for  the 
remaining  part  of  the  evening.  By  this  account  of  bis  day's  transactions 
the  reader  will  see  how  very  impossible  it  was  for  him  to  find  leisure  for 
study  in  the  midst  of  so  many  important  avocations,  yet,  notwithstanding 
this  great  variety  of  business,  he  made  a  shift  sometimes  to  play  half  a  tune 
on  the  German-flute  in  a  morning,  and  once  in  a  quarter  of  a  year  took  the 
pains  to  transcribble  a  sermon  out  of  various  authors.<^)

'*  The  wrptcbed  state  of  the  fitreets  had  long  been  a  difignu:e  to  th« 
*•  Univerrtity  and  Town  of  Cambridge.  The  gutters  were  in  the  middle  of 
^^the  Btieetfi,  In  several  of  which  it  was  impossible  for  two  carriages  to  pM* 
*^eaeb  other,  on  account  of  the  encroachments  that  had  been  mode.  Along 
**  the  whole  front  of  Penibrolte  College  was  a  water-course,  which  divided 
^*the  street  into  two  very  iinequal  ]mrU :  the  West  side  was,  Uj  neceasitjt 
**  the  carriage- road,  but  was  only  one4hird  the  width  of  the  road  which 
*^  adjoined  the  College*  and  was  ap|irupriated  to  foot  passengers.  The  Bidefl 
^*of  the  channel  were  boarded,  and  it  was  crossed  by  two  very  narrow 
**  bridgfis,  one  oppodte  the  Master's  Lodge,  the  other  opposite  the  gates  of 
"the  College. 

•*  The  principal  inn  at  that  time  was  the  Cardinars  Cap,  sittiated  in  the 
** middle  of  the  Hpnee  now  occupied  by  the  Pitt  Prean.  It  happened  not 
**  onfre<inent!y  that  gentlemen's  coachmen^  who  were  strangent  to  the  town, 
"mistook  the  road  between  the  College  and  the  water-courae  for  thecorriage 
**road,  in  conRequeuee  of  which  there  was  often  much  confusion^  and 
**  oocasionally  accidents  occurred.  The  late  Master  |Dr.  Turner)  informed 
"  me  that  he  once  saw  a  gentleman's  coachman  drinnp  four-in-hand  (the 
*^Uf9ual  mode  of  travelling  to  attend  Parliament)  on  the  wrong  side  of  the 
"  street,  when  having  too  much  spirit  to  turn  baok,  he  formed  the  desperate 
**  reftohition  of  driving  over  the  water-oourse,  which  he  acoompliahed  without 
^*  accident.  I  have  often  pointed  ont  the  precipe  spot  whei-e  this  took  pUoe« 
**  to  some  of  our  moat  c^elebrated  whips  (the  Joe  Walton's  of  their  day),  and 
*'aaked  them  what  they  would  have  done  under  similar  oircnmstanaet  i

Mr  Gunning  givoa  the  following  particulars  r^pecting  Stourbridge 
Fair,  at  and  about  this  time : 

On  the  ISth  of  September,  the  ceremony  of  proclaiming  Stourbridge 
Fair  took  place.  At  11  a.m.)  the  Vioe-Chancellor,  with  the  fiedella  and 
Begistraiy,  the  CommisBary,  the  Proctors,  and  the  Taxors,  attended  in  the 
Benate-hoiise,  where  a  plentiful  supply  of  mulled  wine  and  sherry,  in  black 
bottles,  with  a  great  variety  of  cakes,  awaited  their  arrival.  Strange  aa  it 
may  seem,  the  company  partook  of  these  things  as  heartily  as  if  they  had 
oome  without  their  breakfasts,  or  were  apprehensive  of  going  without  their 
dinners.  This  important  businesn  ended,  the  parties  proceeded  to  the  Fair, 
in  carriages  provided  for  the  occasion.  The  proclamation  waa  read  by  the 
Beglstrary  in  the  carriage  with  the  Vic^-Chancellor,  and  repeated  by  the 
Yeomau  BedeU  on  horseback,  id  three  difiTerent  places.  At  the  conoliiaioo 
of  this  ceremony,  the  carriages  drew  up  to  the  Tiled  Booth  (which  ia  stiU 
standing),  where  the  company  alighted  for  the  dispatch  of  buainesa — and 
of  oysters;  and  passing  through  an  upper  room,  which  waa  orowded  t^ 
a  motley  assemblage  of  oufrtomers,  most  of  whom  had  been  there  from  an 
early  hour,  they  at  length  arrived  at  what  was  called  '*  The  Univena^  Dining 
Boom."  This  consisted  of  a  slip  of  a  room,  separated  from  the  other  part 
by  a  wooden  partition  made  of  the  rudest  materials,  which  waa  aboul  aix 
feet  and  a  half  highi  witb  two  doors  in  it.  Clo8«  to  the  end  wall  wis 
a  narrow  bench;  next  that,  the  table,  formed  from  rough  materials,  and 
supported  by  tressels  and  casks,  on  this  table  (which  had  no  cloth  of  any 
kind)  were  placed  several  barrels  of  oysters,  with  ale  and  bottled  porter  in 
great  profusion.  At  this  repast  we  were  joined  by  numbers  of  Maateia  of 
Arts,  who  had  formed  no  part  of  the  prooeasion,  but  who  had  come  for  the 
express  purpose  of  eating  oysters.  This  was  a  ver^  ierioui  |?<irt  of  the  day's 
proceedings,  and  occupied  a  long  time.    We  then  left  the  diniriff  roomi,  that

ihe  wnitera  might  remove  the  shelU  and  cover  the  boards  with  a  cloth,  in 
preparation  for  dinner.  That  part  of  the  room  not  appropriated  to  the 
University  was  by  this  time  crowded  almoat  to  suffocation  and  we  had  some 
tronble  in  getting  to  the  open  air*  We  took  two  or  three  turns  in  Qarlick- 
row,  and  then  returned  to  the  Tiled  Booth  ;  but  to  reach  the  dining  room 
waa  a  very  arduons  taek.  in  vain  did  the  Marshal,  the  Yeoman  Bedell, 
the  Proctor's  and  Taxor'e  men,  attempt  to  form  a  line  through  which  we 
might  pasa  without  obetruction  ;  in  vain  did  the  landlord  of  the  TiUd 
Booth  ah  oat  out,  *'  Make  way  for  the  Vice -Chancellor  and  tlie  University  !*' 
Not  a  man  made  an  attempt  to  fitir  ^  for  with  the  peasantry  (who  on  this 
day  formed  the  majority  of  the  company  assembled)  the  University  was 
highly  nnpopuhir ;  they  seemed  to  enjoy  the  difficulties  we  had  to  encounter. 
Nor  was  it  to  be  wondered  at,  for  they  had  heard  it  tohmnhj  proclaimed  that 
every  man  would  be  punished  who  sold  beer  in  any  other  mug  than  such  aa 
were  allowed  by  the  University  ;  and  afi  the  mugs  out  of  wliich  they  were 
then  drinking  were  shamefully  under  the  standard  measure,  they  suspected 
that  the  dinner,  of  which  we  were  about  to  partake,  was  paid  for  with  their 
money.  Of  these  gu&picion^  the  publicans  took  no  means  to  disabuse  them  . 
indeed,  many  of  those  who  sold  beer  actually  beliered  that  the  money  they 
paid  at  the  Commissary's  Court  was  for  a  permisaion  to  sell  short  measure. 
Ai  lengthi  by  a  perseverance  worthy  of  a  better  cause,  we  reached  the  dining 
room.  The  cloth  had  been  laid,  and  the  dinner  served  up  as  soon  as  we  had 
quitted  it ;  and  as  covert  were  unknown  at  the  Tiled  Booths  the  joints  would 
have  been  oold^  if  anything  could  havt  hten  cold  in  a  olimale  intolerable  even 
to  a  native  of  the  tropics.  The  scene  which  prej^ented  itself  on  entering  the 
room  I  can  describe  most  accurately,  for  the  dishes  and  their  arrangement 
never  varied.  Before  the  Vice- Chancellor  was  placed  a  large  diah  of  herriagi; 
then  followed  in  order  a  neck  of  pork  roasted,  an  enormous  piampudding, 
a  leg  of  pork  boiled,  a  peaae  pudding,  a  goose,  a  huge  apple-pie,  and  a  roand 
of  beef  in  the  centre.  On  the  other  half  of  the  table,  the  same  difihee  were 
placed  in  similar  order  (the  hemnga  before  the  Senior  Proctor,  who  sat  at 
the  bottom).  From  thirty  to  forty  persons  dined  there;  and  although  the 
wine  was  execrable,  a  number  of  toasts  wore  given,  and  miith  and  good 
hnmonr  prevailed,  to  anch  an  extent  as  is  seldom  to  be  met  with  at  more 
modem  and  more  refined  entertainments.  At  about  half  past  six  the  diuner 
party  broke  up,  and  with  scarcely  an  exception,  adjourned  to  the  theatra. 
Previously  to  this,  however,  a  day  (uHually  the  24th)  was  fixed  for  holding 
the  CommiBsaiy's  Court,  and  for  repeating  the  oyster  eating  and  dining 
I  have  ]t]Bt  described. 

The  Corporation  proclaimed  the  fair,  and  had  their  dinner  also ;  but  it 
posaeaaod  thia  advantage  over  ours,  that  it  was  given  at  a  private  house, 
where  they  were  served  with  an  abundance  of  venison  and  game,  which  at 
that  time  (as  they  could  not  be  purchased)  were  oonsidered  great  luxuries. 

At  this  distance  of  time,  it  seems  to  me  quite  unaocountable  that  Fellows 
of  oollc^e,  in  the  humblest  of  whose  halls  a  clean  and  comfortable  repast 
WAi  provided,  should  sit  down  a  second  tinae  at  such  a  table  as  I  have 
daaoribed.

In  the  year  1803,  a  cousin  of  mine  (a  Fellow  of  King*a)  ww  Senior 
Proctor,  and  resolved,  with  the  consent  of  his  colleague,  to  traoBler  the 
dinner  from  the  TiUd  Booth  at  the  Fair  to  Uie  Rob€  Tavern  at  Cambridge. 
He  took  care  that  the  CommLssary^s  Court  should  be  held  at  the  aocastomfid 
place,  and  made  ample  proviBion  for  the  lovers  of  ale  and  oyttera ;  be  alio 
gave  a  fortnight^e  notice  of  hin  intentions,  and  sent  a  ooarieona  note  %o  eteh 
of  the  oflQciale,  containing  an  iovitaticm  to  dinner  The  Commifltar^  (Br. 
Fisher)  returned  an  angrj  and  elaborate  answer,  in  which  tlie  ri^ht  of  the 
Prootor  to  alter  the  place  of  dining  wae  called  m  question,  and  he  was 
aoonaed  of  violating  the  *' Consoetudines  approbatas,''  wbioh  he  had  sworn 
to  defend,  ^c.  ^o. 

The  Commit^sary  gave  the  dinner  as  usual  at  the  TiUd  Booth,  at  his  own 
expense,  hrou^ht  old  members  of  the  University  from  a  distance  of  thirty 
miles  to  dine  with  him,  and  by  a  personal  canvass  prevailed  on  most  of  the 
olHoials  to  be  of  his  party.  He  hail  a  complete  triumph,  and  eat  at  the  head 
of  a  crowded  table,  whilst  the  Proctor  could  muster  no  more  than  eight  or 
ten  to  sanction  his  bold  innovation.  Subsequent  Proctors  and  Taxora  were 
well  pleased  to  get  rid  of  the  expense,  and  gave  up  the  dinner  at  the  Kosei 
and  the  Commisfiary  after  a  time  discontinued  the  dinner  at  the  TiUd  Booth. 
The  Commissary's  Court  ie  still  held,  but  the  reoeiptB  are  very  trifling ;  and 
oysters  and  ale  are  still  provided  for  those  who  choose  to  partake  of  them. 

Btourbridge  Fair  was,  at  the  time  I  am  now  speaking  of,  a  place  of 
considerable  importance,  not  only  on  account  of  the  various  trades  tliat  were 
carried  on  there,  but  aa  furnishing  sights  and  scenes  rarely  to  be  met  with 
out  of  the  metropolis.  I  will  endeavour  to  describe  it,  and  I  tmat  my 
menmry  will  enable  me  to  do  so  pretty  aoourately.  As  soon  as  yon  lall 
Barnwell,  there  was  a  small  public-house  on  the  right-hand  side,  called  ths 
Racehorse ;  here  the  cheese  fair  began ;  from  thenoe  till  you  came  opposite 
the  roud  leading  to  Chesterton  Ferry,  the  ground  was  eicclusively  oooupaed  by 
dealers  in  that  article-  It.  was  the  great  mart  at  which  all  the  daalers  tn 
cheese  from  Cottenham,  Willingham,  with  other  villages  in  the  Coimty  and 
Isle  asBembled;  there  were  also  traders  from  Leieestershke,  DerbyshiKS, 
Cheshire,  and  Gloucestershire.  Not  only  did  the  inhabitants  of  the  neigh- 
bouring counties  supply  themselves  with  their  annual  stock  of  chee8««  bot 
great  quantities  were  bought  and  sent  up  to  London,  the  practice  of  em- 
ploying travellers  being  at  that  time  scarcely  known.  In  the  nelghboor- 
hood  of  the  chapel,  which  is  still  standing  (18S1)|  there  were  about  a  dosea 
booths,  called  ** Ironmonger's  Row**;  these,  among  a  great  variety  of  other 
articles,  furnished  the  goods  required  by  saddlers  and  harness  makers, 
together  with  every  description  of  leather  in  great  abundanoe.  One  of  the 
proprietors  I  perfectly  recollect ;  his  name  was  Hose,  he  resided  in  London, 
vfhmn  lie  carried  on  a  very  exteosive  business.  During  the  three  weeks  the 
fair  lasted,  he  lodged  at  Cambridge,  and  went  to  his  booth  every  morning 
after  breakfast,  returning  to  a  late  dinner ;  he  lived  in  a  good  style,  kept 
a  handsome  chariot,  drove  a  pair  of  very  fine  horses,  and  his  serrattts* 
Uvenes  were  as  handsome  as  those  of  any  gentleman  in  the  County,

called  **  Tlic  Duddery."  Tliesf*  coiitamed  woolkn  clothn  from  Yorkaliire 
the  western  coimtieH  of  England  ;  but  this  part  of  the  fair  was  begin- 
nlog  to  be  on  the  decline.  There  was  also  a  very  large  piece  of  ground  set 
apart  for  the  sale  of  bopa.  A  conaiderable  part  of  the  Common  was  oeottpied 
by  earthenware  and  china  from  the  potteries,  and  by  the  coarser  wares  from 
Ely.  On  the  left-hand  side  of  the  road,  leading  from  the  Newmarket  Eoad 
to  the  Ferry,  was  a  row  of  booths  extending  to  the  Common  ;  they  consisted 
of  silk  mercers,  linen -drapers,  furriers,  stationers,  an  immense  variety  of 
toyg,  and  also  of  musical  instrumentti.  At  one  of  these  booths,  I  recollect 
that  if  yoii  bought  an  instrument,  the  proprietor  undertook  to  give  lessone 
upon  it  gratis.  The  most  conspicuous  person  in  the  fair  (and  whose  booth 
stood  upon  three  times  as  much  ground  as  the  largest  amongst  them)  was 
named  Green ;  he  came  from  Limehouse,  and  dealt  in  tea^  «agar»  soap, 
candles,  and  every  other  article  in  grocery  that  housekeepers  could  posaibly 
require*  His  goods  were  of  the  first  q^uality,  and  he  sold  them  as  cheap  as 
they  Qould  be  bought  in  London,  so  that  any  family  in  Cambridge,  or  within 
thirty  nules  of  it,  (who  could  afford  the  money)  laid  in  their  annual  stock  at 
that  seaaon.  He  was  also  an  extensive  dealer  iu  pickles*  This  man  was 
a  widower,  with  one  daiighteri  who  always  accompanied  her  father.  She 
was,  at  the  age  of  fomteen,  very  pretty,  and  was  called  by  the  University 
tneti,  who  stopped  to  admire  hirfathfr-g  pkkhit^  *' Miss  Gherkin";  she  grew 
however,  so  very  large,  that  the  name  of  Gherkin  (or  "  Little  Pkkle")  could 
00  longer  be  applied  to  her  with  any  propriety,  and  she  was  then  styled 
*•  Miss  Mango/'  There  was  not  the  slightest  viilgartty  in  her  manner  or 
conversation,  and  it  was  remarked  by  an  incorrigible  punster  (of  St,  Johu*fi) 
that  she  was  wappitifj  iu  nothing  but  her  size.  This  young  iady  was  a 
decided  coquette,  and  many  members  of  the  University,  of  variow  afje4t  and 
vaHoua  rankt,  were  in  the  habit  of  paying  her  much  attention.  Her  father 
was  extremely  proud  of  the  admiration  she  excited,  and  wished  it  to  be 
imderstood  that  *'tbe  man  of  her  choice  would  Und  he  had  not  made  a  very 
bad  bargain/'  What  became  of  her  I  know  not,  but  it  was  to  me  rather 
onaooountable  that  so  rich  a  prize  (whose  conduct  was  without  reproach) 
should  visit  Cambridge  for  eight  or  ten  years  without  getting  a  husband* 

Besides  the  tradesmen,  there  was  the  usual  mixture  of  dwarfs  and  giants, 
oonjarorfi,  and  learned  pigR.  It  was  a  common  practice  for  some  of  us  who 
were  well  acquainted  with  the  University,  to  enter  into  a  confederacy  with 
ibieae  conjurors,  and  with  the  owners  of  these  learned  animals,  to  give  them 
a  string  of  questions  and  answers,  aud  to  point  out  some  mode  by  which  they 
might  discover  the  persons  to  whom  the  answers  were  particularly  applicable. 
In  consequence  of  this  secret  inteUigence,  the  characters  of  the  conjurors  and 
the  pigs  stood  higher  at  Stourbridge  Fair  than  at  any  other  place*  Persona 
goilty  of  indiscretions,  which  they  flattered  them  Bel  ves  were  known  only  to 
their  most  intimate  friends,  wore  astonished  at  Ending  that  the  sapietit  pig 
was  acquainted  with  their  proceedings,  and  poiated  them  out  with  but  little 
lifisitatton  to  the  assembled  i^rowd.

There  was  a  theatre  on  the  spot  where  the  Shakspeare  pnUio-honM  now 
stands,  it  belonged  to  the  Norwich  company,  which  generally  comprised 
many  respectable,  and  frequently  very  excellent,  performers.  Bmnton  was 
for  many  years  manager.  His  performance  of  Shylock  and  lago  was  hi^y 
applauded ;  his  daughter  and  several  of  his  relations  were  much  distinguished 
on  the  London  boards.  The  performances  continued  for  about  three  weeks ; 
the  house  was  generally  well  filled,  and  on  some  evenings  crowded  in  eveiy 
part,  especially  when  the  Lord  Lieutenant,  or  the  Members  of  the  Town  and 
University,  bespoke  the  play.  Dr.  Farmer  never  failed  to  be  present,  ex-

designate  the  Shakspeare  Oang),  were  accustomed  to  occupy  that  part  of  the 
pit  which  is  usually  called  **  The  Critic's  Row,"  and  which  was  scrupulously 
reserved  for  them.  They  seemed  to  enjoy  the  play  as  much  as  the  youngest 
persons  present.  They  were  the  best-natured  and  most  indulgent  of  critics ; 
and  as  these  dramatic  enthusiasts  never  expressed  disapprobation,  few  other 
persons  ventured  to  do  so;  but  when  they  approved,  the  whole  house  ap- 
plauded most  rapturously.  Dr.  Farmer  and  his  friends  rarely  left  before  the 
whole  performance  was  concluded,  the  party  joined  loudly  in  the  mirtii 
which  the  farces  of  those  days  never  failed  to  produce,  in  the  midst  of  which 
the  hearty  and  very  peculiar  laugh  of  the  Doctor  could  easily  be  difltinguiRhed. 
When  the  performance  was  over,  they  returned  on  foot,  and  adjourned  to 
Emmanxul  Parlour^  where  half-a-score  persons  were  either  waiting  for  them, 
or  accompanied  them  home.(<*)

Mr,  Gunning  relates  tbe  foil  owing  anecdote  : 

"The  Undergraduates  were  unaniroous  in  favour  of  Mr,  Friend  and 
**  every  satirical  remark  reflecting  npon  the  conduct  and  motives  of  bis 
**pro8eeutors  was  vociferouElj  applauded.  At  ien^^  the  Court  desired  the 
'*Pxxx:iors  to  interfere,  Mr.  Farish  the  Senior  Proctor  having  marked  one 
**mftQ  who  had  paritcularly  distinguished  himself  by  applauding,  and  noted 
••his  position  in  the  gallery,  selected  hira  as  a  fit  subject  for  punishment, 
"He  went  into  the  gallery,  and  having  previously  aiwertained  the  exact 
''aituation  of  the  culprit,  he  tonched  a  peraon  whom  ho  supposed  to  be  the 
*'  same,  on  the  shoulder  and  asked  him  his  name  and  college.  The  person 
**tibii0  addresBed,  assared  him  that  he  had  been  perfeotly  quieL  Parish 
'*x«plled«  *I  have  be«n  watching  you  for  a  long  time,  and  have  seen  you 
"repeatedly  clapping  your  hands/  'I  wish  this  was  possible,*  said  the 
''man,  and  turning  round  exhibited  an  arm  so  deformed  that  his  hands 
**  eould  not  by  any  possibility  be  brought  together  ;  this  exculpation  was 
•*r6C«ved  with  repeated  rounds  of  applause  which  continued  for  some 
**  minutes.  The  name  of  the  young  man  was  Charnook,  and  his  CoUege 
**  Clare  Hall :  the  real  culprit  was  S.  T.  Coleridge  of  Jesus  College,  who 
«« having  obserrod  that  tlie  Proctor  had  noticed  him,  and  was  coming  into 
•'the  gallery,  turned  round  to  the  person  who  was  ^tancUng  behind  him, 
"and  made  an  offer  of  changing  places,  which  was  gladly  accepted  by  the 
*'  onsuflpeoting  man.  Coleridge  immediately  retreated,  and  mixing  with  the 
**erowd  entirely  escaped  suspicion.  This  conduct  on  the  part  of  Coleridge 
••wa»  aeverely  censured  by  the  Undergraduates,  as  it  was  quite  clear  that  to 
•'dficape  punishment  himself  he  would  have  subjected  an  innocent  man  to 
"rustication  or  eipulaion." 

A  reviewer  of  Mr  Gunning's  Work  makes  the  subjoined  observations  : 

**  Not  a  few  of  Coleridge's  Iriends,  still  living,  can  bear  witness  that  the 
**  disapprohatioo  here  expr^sed  is  not  warranted  by  the  facts  of  the  caee. 
'*  Party  feeling  ran  very  high  at  the  moment,  and  Charnock  waa  one  of 
**  those  who  I  like  Coleridge,  felt  strongly  in  favour  of  the  accused  :  it  had 
'*  beeo  previotialy  agreed  that  Coleridge  should  be  most  violent  in  opposition 
**tO  the  Vioe'Cbanoellorf  and  ihut  if  his  conduct  in  hissing  one  side  and 
"applaading  the  other  by  clapping  his  hands^  excited  angry  observatioUp 
'*that  when  the  Proctor  was  sent  up  bo  should  slip  away,  and  leave 
"Charnock  to  take  his  place,  and  bear  the  brunt  of  the  affray*  This 
"arrangement  was  probably  not  known  to  many  at  the  time,  and  hence 
**  the  censure  which  Mr*  Gunning  tella  tu  was  bestowed  upon  Coleridge.

idoneiis  moribus.  Lord  Loughborough,  the  Lord  Clianecllor,  on  the 
dOth  of  June  this  year  gave  judgment,  concludiog  as  follows  : 
In  my  eooception,  oonBidering  the  manner  in  which  these  statuieii  aro 
framed,  the  mode  of  election,  and  the  society  the  (oundor  haa  cgtahlished, 
he  meant  to  give  the  olcctora  a  foil  jadgment — a  ta«te — a  feeling  of  tho 
q  nail  ties  ol  the  person  they  were  to  subrogate  la  ca^e  of  a  vacancy ;  knowinR 
that  in  such  a  society,  oonsiating  of  a  itmall  number  of  perHonii^  to  be  united 
under  the  roof  of  the  same  College  for  the  purpose  of  education,  jarring 
iemi>erat  discordant  diBpositionfi,  dittimilitwio  morumf  would  mar  the 
purpose  of  the  foundation,  so  different  from  larger  corporations,  iiiMtttuted 
for  more  public  purposesr  and  more  mixed  with  the  busineai  of  the  world. 
I  cannot  think  the  founder  meant  to  tie  them  down  to  the  t€?et  of  Utile  umn 
than  common  honesty,  without  which  a  man  ia  unfit  to  be  eleoted  into  any 
society.  He  rather  intended  to  leave  the  choice  an  ample  mm  poailbln,  thtl 
the  Fellowg  might  be  in  all  reqiecta  fit  for  each  other.  Th«a  have  I  to 
ioquire  further  than  what  they  have  with  great  concurreneo  ttated  to  mn, 
that  the  petitioner  is  not  fit  (fioit  idoneus)  to  be  a  member  of  that  iiooUty* 
I  cannot,  therefore,  compel  tbesn  to  elect  the  petitioner,  nor  ordur  him  to  be 
admitted  without  an  election.  It  would  hare  been  nnfortunato  it  a  Co11ft(r(^»

when  Dr.  Bel  ward  waa  Vioeohanoellor.  Mr.  Gunning  gives  anecdotes  as  to 
each  of  these  Yisits.  The  first  referring  to  John  Beverley  (Esqoire  Bedall, 
1771)  to  1827)  LB  as  follows : 

"  The  Vice  Chancellor  and  the  Heads  waited  upon  him  [the  Stadholder] 
''at  the  Hose,  attended  him  to  St.  Mary*s  Church,  and  accompanied  htm 
**  back  to  his  inn.  Wben  we  were  all  assembled  at  the  Rose,  the  Stadholder 
**  unfortunatehj  asked  whence  the  teit  w^as  taken.  As  we  were  none  of  us 
**  very  clear  on  that  subjecti  we  held  oar  tongues,  but  Beverley,  with  hti 
**  usual  intrepidity,  auBwered,  'It  was  from  the  Second  Epistle  of  Jade's 
***  There  is  but  one  Epiatle,'  said  the  Stadholder,  *  Certainly  not,'  nid 
**  Beverley,  *  I  intended  to  have  said  the  second  chapter ' — *  Unfortunately,' 
**  said  his  Serene  Highness,  '  there  is  but  one  chapter  1 '  Beverley's  mistake* 
"quickly  spread  through  the  University,  and  were  set  to  music  by  loine 
**  member    of   the    Hunlingdonshire    Catch-Club.      The    words   were 

"follows : — 

**Fie,  Beverley,  fie:  your  Biblical  lie 
'*Was  vastly  too  forward  and  rude; 

"For  the  future  be  shy,  nor  dare  to  reply, 
"But  remember  the  Second  of  Judel" 
The  second  anecdote  refers  to  the  Stadholder's  visit  during  Dr.  Belward'i 
Yicechancellorship,  and  to  what  took  place  at  a  supper  to  which  the  Tioe* 
chancellor  invited  him  on  Sunday  evening,  '*  Wben  the  health  of  the  King 
**  and  Boyal  Family  were  drank,  the  Prince  responded,  obsGrving  that  h» 
"considered  himself  one  of  that  family.  To  this  they  all  assented,  adding 
"  that  few  kings  in  history  could  boast  of  so  numerous  a  family.  He 
"said  that  King  Jacob  {which  be  pronounoed  I-a-oob)  had  a  much  more 
•'  numerous  family :  Io  this  they  aleo  assented.  At  length,  emboldened  by 
"  the  recollection  of  Beverley  a  Second  of  Jude^  he  examined  them  as  to  the 
"  number  of  which  that  family  oonsisted,  and  receiving  a  variety  of  answers, 
"  exclaimed  in  a  triumphant  tone,  •  You  are  all  mistaken  ;  I^a-coh's  family

of  the  University  purchased  for  him,  by  subscription,  a  silver  baan. 
The  Rev,  Baptist  Noel  Turner,  sometime  of  Emmanuel  College,  writing 
of  him  a  few  months  niter  his  death  remarked  : 

Ho  wfts  humble,  grate fulf  and  pious  ;  and  his  ecoentrioItieB  were  striking 
and  amiable*  He  bad  never  for  many  years  worn  a  liat,  owing  to  »ome 
resolution  or  vow  he  had  made  in  consequence  of  hiA  having  be«n  defrauded 
of  a  large  snm  of  money  by  a  man  that  was  a  hatiei'.  1  ihink  too  that  be 
made  a  point  of  never  shaving  on  a  Sun<lay ;  but  would  hire  it  to  be  done  if 
necessary,  that  he  might  employ  the  whole  of  that  day  in  attending  as  many 
different  plac-es  of  worship  as  he  possibly  could,  churches,  chapels,  or 
meetings,  according  to  the  different  hours  of  their  respective  services,  Thi» 
may  show  us  how  far  simplicity  sometimes  triumphs  over  wisdom  and 
talents.  And  surely,  by  recording  lliis  trait  in  his  character,  we  justify 
the  assertion  that  **  the  righteouH  shall  be  had  in  remembrance.'*  The 
celerity  with  which  he  almost  *'  annihilated  both  space  and  time"  to  attend 
his  masterH,  which  procured  him  hie  title,  as  well  as  the  dispatch  be  made 
with  their  beards  when  he  got  at  them  were  very  extraordinary ;  and  in  0m^, 
in  his  walkt  er  rather  run^  his  feet  moved  somewhat  like  the  spokes  of 
a  chariot- wheel.  Though  not  the  tonsor  of  our  GoUege  (Emmanuel)  he 
tripped  up  to  me  the  last  time  I  was  at  Cambridge,  and  with  many  bows  and 
smiles  of  heartfelt  gratulation,  made  me  recollect  a  trifiing  favour  I  had 
doiie  him  when  be  first  set  up  io  business,  which  was  perhaps  80  yeaw 
prcrioiis  to  that  time.  With  the  utmost  glee  did  the  poor  fellow  follow  me 
to  my  friend's  rooms  (the  present  Bishop  of  Cloyne's<*»')  to  shew  roe  the  many 
comical  letters  that  had  been  sent  (but  post  paid)  from  London  and  elsewhew 
addressed  to  Kobcrt  Fly  Forster,  Esq.*  and  replete  with  fun  and  drollery  in 
verse  and  prose,  Bot  more  particularly  he  brought  me  his  famous  stlw 
Mambrino^s  helmetf  decorated  in  its  centre  with  the  barber's  arms,  whitih 
were  said  to  he  the  derioe  of  the  late  ingenious  George  Steevens^  Esq.  These 
arms  I  do  not  distinctly  recollect,  but  should  be  happy  to  see  them  described, 
as  I  know  they  were  extremely  appropriate  and  especially  perhaps  the  motto 
''  Eadit  iter  liciiiidum."  On  shewing  (his  great  curiosity,  he  said  ''  They  teU 
me  Sir,  that  I  am  to  have  a  razor  set  in  gold  to  shave  his  Majesty  when  he

ounces  of  bread  with  potatoes,  or  pease,  onions,  or  other  vegetables  stewed  *, 
and  on  Sunday  oxcheek  or  leg  of  beef  made  into  strong  soup.  Debtors  have 
no  allowance  whatever  except  they  are  very  poor,  then  upon  solicitation 
of  the  gaoler,  the  justices  order  them  the  same  allowance  aa  the  felons. 
Number  of  prisoners,  Ang.  20,  IHDO,  debtors  8.  felons  13 ;  January  28,  1802, 
debtors  13,  felons  9 ;  Auguet  7,  1802,  debtors  6,  felon  1.  The  prison  is  the 
gate  of  the  old  castle.  On  the  ground-^oor,  caUed  the  Low  Gaol,  are  four 
■trong  roomit  about  12  feet  by  9  each,  one  of  which  ts  called  the  Condemned 
Boom.  To  tbeoe  the  county  furnishes  straw.  There  is  an  ascent  of  22 
stone  stepe  to  the  debtors'  apartments,  called  the  High  Gaol.  On  the  first- 
floor  is  a  room  for  the  turnkey,  a  kitchen,  pri\7,  and  three  other  rooms. 
Above  them  are  six  other  sizeable  rooms ;  four  of  them  hold  two  and  three 
beds  each,  for  which  the  prisoner  pays  U.  6d.  per  week  if  he  has  no  bed  of

payinentj  the  keeper  informed  me  when  I  was  there,  was  two  years  in  arrear. 
I  wrote  to  Mr.  Lantaff,  who  occupies  the  estate,  about  it,  and  received  firom 
him  a  very  uncivil  answer.  On  my  visit  in  August  1602t  the  prisoners  made 
grievous  complaint  that  divine  serrice  had  never  been  performed  during  llw 
laat  four  months,  or  any  religious  attention  whatever  paid  to  them*  The 
reason  which  I  heard  afterwards  assigned  was,  that  a  felon  had  made  his 
escape  in  going  across  the  Castle-yard.  The  Rules  and  Orders  for  the 
governm<^ut  of  this  gaol  are  twenty  in  number;  the  breach  of  them  if 
punished  by  con&Dement  for  a  limited  time,  I  transcribe  them;  but  aa  they 
would  make  my  packet  too  bulky,  I  omit  them  at  present. 

County  Buiowell  at  CAMBBtnoE  is  the  Castle-yard,  and  joins  to  the 
gaoler^s  house.  It  couHlsts  of  two  workrooms  on  the  ground  floor,  a  court 
yard  with  a  privy  in  it  for  men.  Upstairs  are  two  rooms  for  women,  with 
five  cageB,  Ci^  feet  by  4J.  Prisoners  not  committed  to  hard  labour  receiTe 
one  half  the  net  profits  of  their  earnings  at  their  discharge.  The  Rules 
and  Orders  (which  I  copied)  are  well  calculated  for  its  good  govemixieiit. 
rdeoners,  August  7,  1802,  7  men^  2  women.  The  cckunty  is  now  huildiiig 
a  new  Gaol  in  the  Castle -yard,  upon  a  plan  somewhat  similar  to  that  of 
Bury  St.  Edmuud*s,  and  by  the  same  ingenious  architect. 

CAMBRirHiE  Town  Gaol,  There  was  formerly  a  room  below  for  orimiiiala, 
called  the  Hole,  21  feet  by  7,  and  above,  a  room  called  the  Cage.  No  court- 
yard ;  no  water  ;  no  allowanoe.  On  my  visit,  August  1300,  I  had  the 
pleasure  to  find  the  Cage  had  fallen  into  the  Hulct  and  both  were  a  heap  of 
ruins.  The  gaoler,  Thomas  Adams,  is  bellman  to  the  Town ;  aalaij,  lOf.;

three  rooms  for  men  and  women  debtors,  and  a  day-room  24  feet  by  15,  who 
pay  2«.  per  week  for  a  single  bed ;  and  if  two  sleep  together,  !§,  3d.  each.

combers  and  spinners  of  this  town.  The  ba^ds  of  the  iu.stitution  was  a 
legacy  of  the  famous  carrier  Thomas  Hobson,  who  died  in  16a0.  To  answer

London,  April  3,  ISll. 
Mr.  Viee-Chancellor  and  Gentlemen, 

I  cannot  too  etrongly  expreas  to  you  the  gratification  I  have  experienced 
in  learning,  by  tht)  letter  you  have  addreased  to  me  throngh  the  Public

The  ainoere  attachment  I  ever  have,  and  ever  shall  entertain,  for  the

moment  yoa  admitted  nie  a  member  of  the  University,  to  merit  yonr

attachment,  conBdence,  and  too  favourable  commendation,  in  which  yon 
have  had  the  goodness  to  express  yotirgelves. 

To  receive,  Qentlemen,  testimonies  of  your  esteem,  and  to  learn  that 
during  the  time  I  was  a  student  at  Cambridge,  and  since  I  have  no  longer 
resided  among^it  you,  my  conduct  has  been  approved  by  those  whose  good 
opinion  I  am  mofit  anxiouB  to  obtain,  are  circumstances  aineerely  gratifying 
to  me.  They  have  made  a  deep  and  never  to  be  effaced  impression  upon 
me,  and  demand  my  warmest  acknowledgments. 

I  mast  consider  the  day  on  which,  iD  a  manner  so  truly  flattering  to  me, 
you  placed  me  in  the  first  situation  in  the  University,  one  of  the  proudeti 
of  my  life ;  and  to  be  called  upon  to  reside  over  that  august  Seminary,  ao 
conspicuous  for  its  learning,  which  can  boast  of  having  educated  the  gzeateit 
heroes,  the  ablest  men  in  every  branch  of  Science,  itatesmen  as  renowned 
for  their  integrity  as  their  talents,  and  the  warmest  supporters  of  our 
reiigioud  and  civil  establish  men  ts,  is  an  honour  of  which  I  am  fully  sensible, 
and  for  which  1  earnestly  request  your  acceptance  of  my  moat  sincere  and 
grateful  thanks. 

Being  tbe  only  one  of  the  Royal  Family  who  has  been  educated  at  an 
English  University,  I  feel  peculiar  satisf action  at  being  chosen  to  maintain 
the  rights  and  privileges  of  that  venerable  Society,  which  has  always 
supported  those  principleR  that  seated  my  famUy  upon  the  throne  of  this

appear  expedient  to  the  Vice-chancellor  to  leave  one  of  them  in  the 
University.  That  they  shall  precede  the  Chancellor  or  Yioe-Chancellor 
with  their  maces  on  their  shoulders,  until  they  reach  the  door  of  the 
presence-chamber,  where  they  shall  remain  until  the  return  of  the  Chan- 
cellor or  Vice-Chancellor,  whom  they  shall  conduct  back  in  the  same 
order  in  which  they  went.  That  when  the  Chancellor  or  Vice-Chancellor 
enters  the  presence-chamber,  the  Begistrary  shall  attend  him  with  the 
Address  to  the  foot  of  the  throne,  and  shall  hold  the  Address  while  the 
Chancellor  or  Vice-Chancellor  reads  it.  He  shall  afterwards  call  over  the 
names  of  the  Deputation  in  the  order  of  seniority,  previous  to  their  kissing 
hands. 

This  decree  which  was  occasioned  by  rude  and  unbecoming  behaviour 
on  the  part  of  John  Beverley,  the  Senior  Esquire  Bedell,  has  never 
been  carried  out  though  not  formally  repealed.

On  the  16th  of  November,  died  the  Rev.  Richard  Chappie  Whalley, 
B.D.,  who  was  bom  in  1748,  at  Peterhouse  Lodge,  being  the  yoimgest 
son  of  Dr  John  Whalley,  Master  of  Peterhouse  and  Regius  Professor 
of  Divinity.  He  received  a  good  classical  education  and  having  great 
taste  for  the  fine  arts  travelled  on  the  Continent,  where  he  imbibed 
those  sceptical  opinions,  which,  at  that  period,  were  unhappily  too 
prevalent.  On  returning  to  England  he  was  induced  to  study  Butler's 
Analogy  and  the  result  was  a  thorough  conviction  of  the  truth  of 
Christianity.  In  1786  he  again  visited  the  Continent  and  settled  at 
Tours,  but  returned  to  England  in  1787,  when  he  took  orders  and 
was  instituted  to  the  Rectory  of  Horsington,  Somersetshire,  which  he 
resigned  in  1800,  and  was  soon  afterwards  collated  to  the  Rectory  of 
Chelwood,  in  the  same  County,  which  he  held  till  his  death.  He  took 
the  degree  of  B.D.  at  Jesus  College  1798.  He  was  an  active  and 
pious  Clergyman,  of  decidedly  evangelical  views,  and  was  on  terms 
of  intimacy  with  Bishops  Beadon  and  Ryder  and  Mrs  Hannah  More. 
He  married,  1775,  Elizabeth  Frances  youngest  daughter  of  the  Rev. 
John  Paine,  Canon  of  Wells.  This  lady  died  1795.  In  1846  appeared 
a  Selection  from  his  Letters  and  Six  of  his  Sermons,  with  a  Prefatory 
Memoir  by  Dr  Harford,  London,  12mo.  His  son,  Richard  Thomas 
Whalley,  sometime  of  Jesus  College,  was  Rector  of  Yeovilton,  Somerset- 
shire, and  Prebendary  of  Ilton  in  the  Cathedral  Church  of  Wells.

your  lordship  about  the  affair  of  King's  College  in  which  I  have  more  than

It  contains  the  substance  of  what  Dr  Craddock  proposes  to  be  said  to  the 
King  when  he  goes  to  King's  College,  as  probably  he  will  when  he  is  at 
Cambridge.  There  cannot  be  a  better  opportunity  than  in  the  face  of  the 
University  to  do  this  act  of  grace  to  that  College,  if  ever  his  Majesty  will  be

persuaded  to  do  it  as  I  hope  he  will,  for  if  he  does  not  upon  this  oeoasion 
I  do  not  see  how  he  can  afterwards  decently  recede  or  go  on  with  any 
prospect  of  snccess,  and  if  his  Majesty  accepts  this  snbmission  from  them, 
if  it  does  not  secare  his  nomination  for  the  ftitnre,  yet  at  least  it  preyents  a 
formal  determination  against  him  in  Westminster  Hall.  In  regard  to 
Mr  Hartcliff  there  need  be  no  scrapie  because  I  coincide  with  what  he  said 
to  me  and  to  the  Dean  of  Canterbury;  he  is  very  well  contented  to  wait  for 
some  other  mark  of  his  Majesty^s  favour.  I  trouble  your  lordship  with  all 
this  that  you  may  take  some  opportunity  of  speaking  of  this  matter  to  the
