compilation.

PREFACE
The following pages are an expansion of some notes
which originally appeared in the " Bristol Times and
Mirror" nineteen years ago, and were revised, with con-
siderable additions, in the same paper in 1897 and 1898. In
their present ninch-enlarged form tliey constitute a nearly
exhaustive collection of lists of those wlio have held official
or quasi-official pssitions in Bristol, (witli the exception of
one important section), for a long period of years, going back,
in the case of the Mayors, Sheriffs, .Aldermen and Common
Councillors, the Society of Mercliant Venturers, and some
of the more important offices under the Corporation, to the
end of the 16th or the beginning of tlie 17th century.
The one important section which is omitted is tliat of
the clergy, who are, as a class, not represented in these
lists, except by the Mayors' Chaplains, though the names of
several individual clerics are recorded in connection with
the School Board, the Grammar Scliool. the City Library, &c.
I may hereafter supplement the present publication with an
ecclesiastical series, for which I have accumulated
considerable material.
The notes wiiich form the basis of this collection were
begun in my early boyhood, forty years since, and have been
continued from time to time to the present day. The fact
that I have not been resident in Bristol during the last
thirty-one years, except at long intervals and for a few
days at a time, has tended to increase the difficulty of
securing the degree of accuracy and completeness at wliich
I have aimed.
The somewluit sporadic arrangement of the book
I'equires some apology. It is due to the original form of
publication in a series of articles appearing periodically in a
newspaper ; tlie earlier sheets, dealing with the period since
the Municipal Corporations Act of 1835, having been printed
off before the whole work was completed, while its scope
was being gradually widened by the inclusion, (in many
instances in response to suggestions and requests), of matter
which, although collected, I liad not originally had it in
contemplation to publish.
1 hope that the Alphabetical Indexes, which comprise a
summary of the offices held at various times by each one of
nearly 3,800 individuals, will be found useful for reference.
They have been compiled witii great care, in the belief that
they would add very materially to whatever value the rest
of the work might possess.
It is impossible, in a collection dealing with so many
names, dates, and facts, to ensure more than an approxima-
tion to perfect accuracy. In matters of date, especially,
contemporary newspapers, (not to mention later authorities
from which less minute accuracy is to be expected), often
present considerable discrepancies, which, in the absence of
any official record or family memoranda, render certainty
impossible. The somewhat copious list of errata will, I
fear, be evidence of some want of experience in proof-
reading on my part, as well as of too many lapsus xtlumcc
in transcribing for the Press. I trust, however, that the
errors which still remain uncorrr cted are neither numerous
nor important.
It has frequently been difficult to discriminate fully
between contemporaries bearing the same name, but,
wherever possible, I have had recourse to comparison of
signatures to enable me to verify my identifications in cases
of doubt.
It remains for me to record my acknowledgments of the
material assistance I have received, (both unsolicited and in
answer to inquiries), from public and private sources in pre-
paring these lists for publication.
The original papers, as printed in 1880, had been revised
throughout, and some of the lists contained in them had been
altogether contributed, by the Town Clerk (Mr. D. Travers
Burges), who continued to furnish me with additions and
notes from time to time until his invaluable help was inter-
rupted by his serious illness. The aid which he had so
liberally afforded me has since been abundantly supplied,
with equal readiness, by Mr. C. S. Sampson, of the Town
Clerk's office. To both these gentlemen I am under lasting
obligation.
I must also specially acknowledge my indebtedness to
the City Treasurer (Mr. J. Tremayne Lane) and to the Clerk
to the Bristol Board of Guardians (Mr. J. J. Simpson), who
have not merely displayed their habitual courtesy in placing
the records under their charge unreservedly at my com-
mand, but have been unsparing both of time and labour in
facilitating my researches by making references and tran-
scribing minutes for me, and supplying me with careful
tracings of signatures.
Amongst other officials who have given me valuable
information and, whenever required, access to documents
and records, I must offer my thanks to Mr. H. J. Spear
(Secretary to the Chamber of Commerce), Mr. F. W. Newton
(Secretary to the Charity Trustees). Mr, W. A. Adams
(Clerk to the School Board), Mr. Henley Lancaster (Clerk
to the Barton Regis Board of Guardians), Mr. Norris
Mathews (City Librarian), Mr. Acland Taylor (Librarian of
the Museum and Reference Library), Mr. Girdlestone
(General Manager of the Docks), Dr. Davies (Medical Officer
of Health), Mr. R. C. Tombs (Postmaster), and the Secretary
to the Board of Customs in London.
In connection with my papers on the Colston Societies,
I received much help from Colonel Woodward, Mr. L. C.
Danger, and Aldermen Fox, Thatcher, and Cope-Proctor,
while those on the Gloucestershire Society and the Antient
Society of St. Stephen's Ringers owe tlieir completeness to
Mr. F. A. Jenliins and Mr. Fuller Eberle respectively.
To Alderman Fox and Mr. T. D. Taylor 1 have
endeavoured, on another page, to express my sense of their
kindness in giving me access to their valuable collections of
Bristol books and newspapers respectively, as well as in
supplying information from their vast stores of personal
knowledge of men and things in relation to the last half
century of local history.
To my friend, Mr. Fuller Eberlo, my acknowledgments
are due in an especial degree. His assistance has not been
confined to matters connected with the Society whose
records are in his custody, but he has, with characteristic
promptitude and energy, applied himself to the task of
searching for information for me on almost every point on
which, from time to time, I have made him acquainted with
any lacuna in my collection.
Mr. E. A. Harley's help, (most kindly volunteered,
when I was personally unknown to him), has only been
bounded by the limits which I have set myself in having
recourse to it; and Mr. II. Napier Abbot aud Mr. John
Latimer, the careful and accurate historian of the city of his
adoption, have been equally assiduous in providing me with
material.
I must also acknowledge the courteous assistance of
Mr. H. Meade King, Mr. Charles Nash, Mr. W. R. Barker,
Mr. F. P. Lansdown, Mr. Arthur Lee, Mr. George White, and
of my old schoolfellow, Mr. Edmund Gill, as well of many
others who have answered particular inquiries by me in the
"Times and Mirror," either directly or through the medium
of that paper.
Finally, though I name him last, by no means the least
entitled to my thanks is Mr. G. H. Pope, Treasurer of the
Society of Merchant Venturers, who has made researches,
involving some expenditure of time and labour, in the
minutes of that Society on several occasions, in order to
settle points on which I required official information. I
trust he will not consider that his courtesy and kindness arc
inadequately appreciated by me, if I add tliat my gratitude
to him is alloyed with a feeling of keen disappointment at
being precluded by a rigid, not to say pedantic, adherence to a
somewhat illiberal rule from having personal access to the
records of the Society of which he is the representative, and
being thereby deprived of the means of adding very materi-
ally to the comprehensiveness and accuracy of my work. I
have been assured by one who has the best possible means of
knowing, that there is nothing in the minutes of the Society
which any one need mind being proclaimed to all the world,
and, even if there were, I should have wished to use, or
even to read, nothing contained in them beyond mere
particulars of names and dates. I must confess to being
somewhat surprised that such a rule should be enforced in
the case of one who may, perhaps, claim to be entitled to
be credited witli worthier objects than mere idle curiosity, in
seeking to inspect these records. Perhaps I may be per-
mitted to hope that at some not very distant date, although
too late for the purposes of the present publication, a
renewed application on my part maj- be more favourably
entertained.
I trust that the information put togetlier in these pages
may not be altogether without interest to Bristolians, and
may be found useful for reference, botli now and hereafter,
if not to a wide public, at least to the members of that
good old family of Dryasdust, wiiich concerns itself with the
records of persons and institutions of byegone times, and
which, I hope, will always number some representatives
among the natives and citizens of Bristol.

as the election for three

was in progress at the same
time, several votes were
polled by mistake for the
candidates who were stand-
ing for the other seats. The
votes thus thrown away
upon Mr. Maze would have
sufficed to place him at the

test in which he was ac-
tually a candidate.

terms of office as Aldermen would have ended on the 9th of the

their constituents, on a 1st of November, and were chosen Aldermen

elevation to the Alderman ic bench, 9 (Messi's. J.George, F.K. Barnes.
Bigg, Jordan, Phippen, W. Naish, Pethick, J.H. Wathen, and Dr-

representative of a Ward, and 11 had been defeated at the polls at
the first election of Councillors; only 4 (Messrs. Habcrfield, Gibbs,
Wait, and Bushell) had not sought to enter the Council.
Of those subsequently elected who had never sat in the Council,

those to whose names J. P. is appended above, and Sir J. K.
Haberfield, Messrs. Stock, Vining, and W. E. George, who were
appointed after their last elections as Aldermen.

Mr. Pinney.
Five (Messrs. Phippen, Wait, Davies, Sir C. Wathen, and Sir R.
Symes) served the office of Mayor before being elected Aldermen.
Sir C. Watlicn was elected in his thiid year of otlice as Mayor, and
Sir R. Symes in)mediately after the conclusion of his second year,
and both served again after becoming Aldermen. Sir J. K. Haber
field was Mayor 5 times after ceasing to be an .\lderman.
Thirteen (Messrs. Bright, Phippen, Woodward, Proctor, Smith,
C. B. Hare. Fox, W. E. George, Harvey. Butterworth, Fry, Pethick,
and Sir R. Symes) served the office of High Sheriff', as did Messrs. J.

[The JIunicipal Corporations Act liad provided tliat casual
vacancies sliould not be filled up until the whole Council was
reduced to less than two-thirds of its full number, but this
was repealed by tlie amending Act passed in July, 1837. J
In this estimate Messrs. Pinney, C. George, and H.Riclietts are
reclioned as Cousei'vatives, Mr. Richard Ricketts as a Liberal, and
]Mr. F. K. Barnes as a Liberal wiiile a Councillor for St. Micliael's
(1846-1849). Messrs, H. J. Williams, De Kidder, Lewis, W.Cottrell,
J. S. Naish,and Wintleare also included amongst Conservatives,
and Mr. Lockley is classed as a Liberal up to 1886 and afterwards as
a Liberal Unionist, to which division Mr. Levy-Laugtield is
assigned, but these gentlemen wei'e returned as Independents
and always acted without regard to political parties in municipal
matters.
The noil books show that the votes of the members of the Council
in the general elections of 1837, 1841, 1847, and 1852 were—
1837. Fripp. 34 : Miles, 30; Berkeley, 28.
[29 voted for Miles and Fripp, 23 plumped for Berkeley,
4 (Alderman R. Ricketts, Messrs. Wood, F. Ricketts,

In the election of 1847, when the Conservative party was divided

men Prideaux and W. H. Wyld, Messrs. R. P. Kins, \V. P. Kin'^ J
B. Burroughs, and J. Fisher) ; 21 plumped for Miles (Aldermen

R. Castle. There were 14 plumpers for Berkelev Alderman
Vining and Messrs. Haberfield. A. Alexander, Bernard, G. Thomas
J. Mills, and H. O. Wills did not vote.
The total number of individuals elected to the Council from the
passing of the ]\Iunicipal Corporations Act of 1835 to the present
time (January, 1898) is 404, including two (Messrs. R. Bright and
C. W. Finzel) who declined to serve. Of these, 233 mav be regarded
as having been at the dates of their respective first elections Conser-
vatives in Imperial politics, 161 Liberals. 3 (Alderman Fry, Messrs
J. C. Godwin, and Levy Langfield) Liberal Unionists, 5 (Messrs r'
G. Tovey, Sheppard, Sharland, Curie, and O'Grady) Labour mem-
bers, and 2 (Messrs. Gore and Baster) Socialists,
Of those classed as Liberals, Mr. F. K. Barnes, who was a Liberal
Councillor, became a Conservative Alderman. Mr. H. W. Green
had been a Conservative before entering, and rejoined that
party before leaving the Council. Mr. J. Perry, though
remaining nominally a Liberal, voted for Mr. J. W. Miles
at the Parliamentary election of 1868, and with the Conservative
members of the Council in December, 1869, against Jlr. C. J.
Thomas's motion for a redistribution of the Wards (on wliicli
occasion Mr. Woodforde Ffooks, a Conservative, voted with the
Liberals). Mr. Cunningham, one of the prominent Liberal leaders
(whose name stands second in the list of 57 who signed the address
to the electors on belialf of Sir John Ilobhouse in 1835, and who
seconded Mr. Berkeley in 1837) wns a Conservative in his later
years, and Mr. S. S. Wayte also voted on that side in 1868.
Of the 27 Liberals who were members of the Council at the date
of the introduction of the Home Rule Bill in 1886, nine (Messrs W
Pethick, J. W. Hall, H.Naish, F. Wills, C. Wathen, Garton, Locklev,
Dole, and Sibly) adhered to the Unionist section, and Mr. FoUwell
joined the Unionists later; Messrs. G. Wills, L. Fry, M. Castle,
Weilmore, Halsall, T. Castle, C. Tovey, and Dunlop, who had for-
merly sat in the Council as Liberals, also declined to follow Mr.
Gladstone's lead on the Irish f|uestion.

POLITICAL COMPOSITION OF THE BRISTOL CORPORATIO>^ ,
l&3l-lB9S.—Contiiuied.
Of those classed as Conservatives, Aldermen W. Fripp, Pinney,
J George, H. Ricketts, llarley, W.W. Alexander, Sir R. Syuies.and
Messrs. Lean. C. Geoi-ge. and Ffooks-Woodforde entered on public
life as members of the Whig or Liberal party.
Many of the contested elections in the wards have been foughi
on matters of local, rather than Imperial, concern, tlie Docks
question having for many years been the battle-ground of parties.
It may be interesting to notice some of tlie chief divisions, as show-
ing liow political connection was entirely disregarded iu this
matter.
On October 25. 1847, the motion approving of the transfer
of the Bristol Docks to the Corporation was carried by 42 to 4, the
dissentients being two Conservatives (Alderman Harley and Mr.
J. B. Burroughes) and two Liberals (Messrs. Prust and G. E.
Sanders).
In the division of October 7. 1858, when Mr. Sliaw's amendment,
refusing to appoint a committee to confer witli representatives of
other public bodies for the promotion of increased dock accommo-
dation, was carried by 25 votes to 24, tlie majority was made up of
15 Conservatives (Aldermen Ford, Robinson, Phippen, Barrow,
Vauglian, Alexander, Beloe, Bigg, Messrs. Shaw, Canning, O. C.
Lane Poole, J. B. Burroughes, J.Colthurst, andGeneral Worrall) and
10 Liberals (Messrs. llerapath, F. Terrell, Goss, M. Castle, Lang,
Kempster, Coates, Avre, W. Naish.and Wethermau). The minority
was composed of 14 Conservatives (Aldermen S.V. Hare, Abbot, P.
Adams, F. K. Barnes, and Dr. Green, Messrs. I. A. Cooke [Mayor],
R. P King.W. P. King, J. Hare, G.Cooke, Hassell, C.Nash, Heaven,
Dr. Rogers) and 10 Liberals (Messrs. E. S. Robinson, C. .1. Tliomas,
Vis"er, \V. D. Wills, H. O. Wills, Perry, Cole, Price, C. Tovey, and
Leonard). Two Conservatives (Messrs. Fuidge and Bates) paired
respectively for and against the amendment. Ten Conservatives
( \ldermen Viniiig, Proctor, and Webb, Messrs. J. W. Miles, A.
Alexander, Perkins, C. Taylor, J. Fisher, F. W. Green, and J.
Smitli) and three Liberals (Messrs. A. H. Palmer, H. Pricliard,
and R. Fry) were absent unpaired.

Five of these (Messrs. Lee, Spark, Webb, Gibson, and SirW. H.
Wills), who had been transferred from the Wards for which they
had been elected, by vote of the Council at the redistribution of
1880, did not oiler themselves for re-election in the Wards to which
they had been thus assigned, and one of them (Mr. Gibson)
returned, at tlie expiration of his term of office, to the Ward he
had previously represented.
The last survivor of the original body, as elected in 1835, was
Mr. T. R. Guppy, Councillor for St. Paul's Ward, who died June 28,
1882, aged 84, at Naples, having resided abroad for many years.
T)ie last survivor of the .\ldermen elected in 1835 was Mr. William
Fripp, who died Dec. 24, 1891, aged 86. Of the original members of
the Council, the last to vacate his seat was Mr. Richard Poole King,
who continued to represent Redcliff Ward till his death, at the age
of 75, on Sept. 26, 1874.
The senior member of the Council at the present time (Feb., 1898),
by continuity of service, is Alderman Proctor Baker (first elected
July 15, 1869), Alderman Bartlett being his junior by a few weeks
(first elected Aus. 30, 1869). Those next in order are Aldermen
Hare (1871), Insklp (1872), Low (1873), Sir G. Edwards (1874). Coun-
cillor Arthur Baker (1874), Alderman Fox (1875), Councillor Abbot
(1877), and Alderman Harvey (1877), all of whom have served con-
tinuously for more than 20 years.
If, however, seniority be reckoned by priority of entrance into
the Council, without regard to continuity. Alderman Fox, who was
first elected in 1865, is the Father of the Council, the next to him
in order of time being Alderman Pethick (1866) ; Aldermen Smith
(1870). Townsend (1873), and Jose (1874) take precedence of some
of those named in the preceding paragraph.

[Note.— The Town Coun-
cil, at a meeting held on
February 15, 1836, had re-
commended a list, consist-
iugofl2Liberals (including
Mr, H. Ricketts, who was
nominated by that party,
though returned to the
Council by, and generally
voting with, the Con-
servatives), and 12 Con-
servatives, but the Home
Secretary (Lord John
Russell) struck out the
.names of six Conser-
vatives,viz. ThomasDaniel,
Charles L. Walker, James
George, Abraham Hilliouse,
James N. Frauklyn, and
Nicholas Roch. Oii March
29 the appointment of mag-
istrates inBristol and other
boroughs was the subject
of a warm debate in the
House of Commons, iu the
course of which Sir R. R.
Vyvyan, M.P. for Bristol,
charged Lord John Russell
with" being influenced by
corrupt motives in the
selections he had made
from the names submitted
to him. On April 18 the
Council carried a resolu-
tion (by 3t votes to 23) to
ask the Home Secretary
to state the reasons for
excluding these gentlemen,
but this was, of course,
refused. In this division
Mr. H. Ricketts and all the
Liberals present voted with
the minority: alltheotlier
Conservatives present, in-
cluding Alderman Harley
and Mr. C. George, witli the
majority. The four mem-
bers absent were Alderman
R. Ricketts and Mr. F.
Ricketts (Liberals), and

[On September 6, 1836, the Town Council unanimously agreed to
recommend a list of 18, consisting of an equal number from each
party, the Conservatives proposing Aldermen Vining and Watson,
and Councillors Daniel, Bush, Payne. Savage, Phippen, Smith, and
P. Maze, jun. ; the Liberals Councillors Cunningham, Herapath,
Thomas, Weare, G. E. Sanders, and Ash, and Messrs. Visger,
Taunton, and Tothill. The Court of Chancery, however, insisted
that the number should be 21, and that not more than 12 of them
should be members of the Council. This necessitated the omission
of three of the names suggested, and as the Liberals had proposed
six Councillors and the Conservatives nine, itwas proposed toomit
three from the Conservative list and retain the whole of the Liberal
list, the latter party also claiming to name two of the six required
to complete the number, and thereby secure the majority on the
IJoard. The Conservatives refused to agree to this, and it was
finally resolved, on September 13. by a majority of 21 to 14, thatthe
Council should take no further steps in the matter and should
decline to make any nominations at all. The result was that the
Court of Chancery named a list of 18 Liberals, including the whole
of their original nominees, with only three Conservatives. In the
division of September 13 the majority consisted of 18 Conservatives,
viz., the Mayor (Alderman Fripp), Aldermen Pinney, llarley,
Gibbs, and Winwood, Messrs. Acraman, Payne, Goldney, J. N.
Franklyn, King, C. George, Gwycr, Hare, Smith, Nash, Powell,
Phippe'n, and Howell, and three Liberals (Messrs. Tliomas, Drake,
and L. Ricketts). The minority of 14 was composed of 11 Liljerals
(Messrs. Weare. G. E. Sanders, Brown, Ash, T. R. Sanders,
Cunningham, Wayte, Hall, Moore, Harwood, and Herapath), and
three Conservatives (Alderman Watson and Messrs. Savage and J.
George). Twenty Conservatives aud eight Liberals were absent
from the division.]

BRISTOL INCORPORATION OF THE
POOR.
GOVERNORS & DEPUTY-GOVERNORS.
Tlie list of Governors, Deputy-Governors, and Treasurers
of the Incorporation of the Poor has not, so far as I know, been
printed before, except that in a work by Mr. James Johnson
entitled "Transactions of the Corporation of the Poor in the City
of Bristol during a period of 120 years," published in 1826,
the succession is given to the year 1822 inclusive. :Mr. Johnson's
lists are, however, exceedingly inaccurate, especially in the
earlier portion. By the kindness of Mr. J . J. Simpson, the present
Clerk to the Board of Guardians (who has, at a time when the
pressure of his oflicial duties was exceptionally heavy, put himself
to a good deal of trouble in aiding my researches), I have been
enabled to have access to tlie Court books of the Corporation,
and thus correct Mr. Johnson's errors of omission and commis-
sion, and to bring the lists up to date with, I hope,, complete
accuracy.— A. B.B.

104 individuals have been elected to the Governorship, of whom
50 served the office of Mayor of Bristol. Of these Mr. Wallis, the
first Governor, was ^Slavor at the date of his first election. Mr.
Haberfield also was Mayor both at his first and second elections.
Mr. Haythorne was elected Mayor while serving as Governor, and
Mr. John Cave several vears after he had ceased to hold that
office. Every Governor elected from 1697 to 1745 was an ex-Mayor,
with the exception of Sir J. Duddleston, Messrs. Edwards, R.
Smith, W. Hart, Brickdale. Tvler, Chamberlain, and Fisher. All
the Governors from 1766 to 1775, and from 1784 to 1791 inclusive,
except Mr. Vaughan. were also ex-Mayors, as were Messrs. Peloquin,
Daniel. Wait, and Castle. Jlessrs. R. Vaughan, juu., Shaw, and
Robinson attained to the Mayoralty after passing the chair of the
Incorporation.
121
BRISTOL INCORPORATION OF THE POOR.— Continued.
Of the 145 who served the office of Deputy - Governor,
only 24 subsequently occupied the chair of the Incorporation.
Among these were the tirst three Deputies (Messi-s. Swyiinner,
Jackscn„andSir J. Duddlestou), live of tliose who hekl tliat office
between 1705 and 1747 (Messrs. A. Elton, sen., Walter. Tyler, Brick-
dale, and Baker), and six elected between 1812 and 1872 (Messrs. T.
Stock, Johnson, Goldney. Wetheriiian, Robinson, and Thomas).
No Deputy elected between 1747 and 1812 was promoted to the
chair: on" the other hand, of 14 Deputy-Governors elected since
1872 only four did not sulise(juently become Governors, viz.,
Messrs. Lew. Coulthard, T. Prolheroe. and Boutflower.
I am indebted to Mr. Simpson for the followinrr historical
note :— In May. 1696, the Incorporation of the Poor of tlie ( ;ity and
County of Bristol was constituted by the Bristol Poor Act, 1696. This
was the tirst Board of Guardians in England and Wales for the
purpose of providing relief for the destitute poor, and establishing
workhouses for their maintenance.
In 1826 the incorporation was reconstituted, audits duties slightly
varied and increased.
lu 1856 the Poor Law Board compelled the Incorporation, after a
long resistance, to submit to the general authority which that
Board claimed, and accordingly early in January, 1857, the by-laws
of the Incorporation were rescinded, and on January 16 Mr. E. S.
Robinson and Mr. H. F. Lawcs were elected respectively Chairman
and Vice-chairman of the Board of Guardians for Bristol Union,
and Mr. Wilmot. previously Master of St. Peter's Hospital, was
appointed Clerk to the Guardians. The Incorporation, however,
continued to exist, and at the next annual election (April 9, 1857)
Messrs. Robinson and Lawes were chosen Governorand Deputy-
Governor respectively, and after that date tlie Chairmanshii) and
Vice-Chairmanship of the Board of Guardians were united to
the offices of Governor and Deputy-Governor of the Incorporation
of the Poor. Mr. Wilmot was at the same time appointed Clerk to
the Incorporation.
From 1696 to 1837 the Incorporation hadexercised authority over
the whole city and county of Bristol, but at the extension of the
boundaries by the Municipal Corporations Actot 1835no change was
made in the area under the supervision of that body; consequently
the Uniousof Clifton (afterwards re-named Barton Regis^ and Bed-
nansterbeingestablishcdin accordance with the Poor LawAmend-
meut Act. 183'4, the city, for Poor Law purposes, formed part of three
Unions. In 1897 the boundaries of the city were again extended, and
the Act provided for the inclusion of the whole of the city thus ex-
tended in one Poor Law Union. This Act came into operation
from March 31. 1 98. at which date the Incorjioratiou of the Poor
was dissolved, the portions of the enlarged city hitherto comprised
in Barton Regis. Bedminster, and Keynsham Unions were trans-
ferred to the new Union, and a Board of Guardians for the whole
city came into office on April 1, 1898, when Major George Ferris
Rumsev, who had for several years presided over the Barton Regis
Union," was elected Chaii-man. Messrs. Charles Edward Douglas
Boutflower and Samuel Lloyd Vice-Chairmcu, i^iv. /cm., and Mr.
Jesse James Simpson was appointed Clerk. On April 12 the (Chair-
man and Vice-chairmen were re-elected to serve for the year
1898-9, and Messrs. Osborne, Ward, Vassall. and C^o. were appointed
solicitors to the Board, their firm having acted as legal advisei's to
the Incorporation of the Poor continuously from 1760 to its dis-
solution— a period of 138 years.
On April 7, 1898, Mr. Edwin Hilton Naisli was appointed
Treasurer.

The Offlcei's are elected annual'y on Charter Day, November 10,
except wlien that day falls on a Sunday, the election tlien taking
place on the 11th. The elections recorded in these lists took place
at this time except when otiierwise stated.
Since 1855 it has been usual to hold the oflices of Junior
Warden, Senior Warden and Master in innnediate succession, the
only deviations f om this custom having been in the cases of (1)
Mr. M. D. Protheroe, who was Junior Warden in 1856-7 and Master
in 1858-9, the Senior Wardcnship in the intervening year being
taken by Mr. Acraman ; (2) Mr. E. T. Lucas, wlio died when Senior
Warden in 1863 ; (3) Mr. C. Ringer, who was unable to take the
Master's chair for 1867-8 through ill-health, dying a few months
after vacating the office of Warden ; (4) Mr. E. B. Hill, who was
elected Senior Warden in 1893, without having taken the Junior
Wardenship, which in the preceding year was tilled by a Past
Master (Mr. Woodward).
The total number of persons who have served the office of
Master from If 05 to the present time is 254, of whom 28 were elected
more than once. H. Hooke was chosen seven times, Hugh Browne
and J. Jackson four times each ; M. Haviland, Robert .\ldvvorth,
and J. Barker three times ; and J. Whitson, T. James, J.

Watts, J. A. Jones, R G. Barrow, and F. F. Fox twice eacli. It
may be noticed tliat from 1692 to 1708 eiglit Mastei's in succession
were re-elected, whereas since the latter date tliis has only occurred
three times. In 155 years (1708-1862) there was no instance.
Minety-ninc of the Masters served the office of Mayor, of whom
nine were Chief Magistr;ites at the date of their election to the
cliair of the Mcrcliant Venturers, and nine were cliosen during
their jNIastership. Tliirty-nineliad already served as Mayors, and 42
were subsequently elected. Between 1605 and 1666 only seven
Masters did not attain to the Mayoralty, all of whom were Sheriffs,
viz., John Aldworth, T. Wright, Huniplu-ey Browne, T. Colston, R.
Yate (1656), W. Yeamans, and J. Bowen. During the past 60 years
only 12 have been elected to tlie Mastership who have also held
the Mayoralty, viz., Messrs. Barrow, J. Savage, Pinney, G. W.
Franklyn, R. J. Poole King, T. P. Jose. J. A. Jones. Lane, T. Barnes,
S. Y. Hare, W, Proctor Baker, and Sir G. Edwards.
CH.^MBER OF COMMERCE.
The Cliamber was originally established iu 1823, a preliminary
meeting being held on January 1st in that year, and the rules
adopted at a subsequent meeting on February 25.
In 1848 it ceased to exist, having been for some years in a languish-
ing condition, and was practically merged in the Free Port
Association, butthereisuo extant record of its formal dissolution.
The Free Port Association, which was formed in September,
1846, dissolved itself on September 30, 1850.
It 1851 a movement was initiated for resuscitating the CUianiber of
Commerce, and a meeting witli tliat object was held on September
4. It was not, however, till Januaiy 5, 1853, that tlie revived
Chamber was fully organised. Under the rules then adopted the
Master of the Society of Merchant Venturers for the time being was
to be ex-officio President of the Chamber, and the Senior and
Junior Wardens of that Society two of the four Vice Presidents,
the other two being elected for two years, one to retire at each
annual meeting, subject to re-election. Tliis arrangement con-
tinued till tlie end of 1857, and at tbe annual meeting in January,
1858, tlie rules were amended, and from that date till 1874 the
President and two Vice-Presidents were chosen by the members,
while tlie Cliairman and Vice-chairman, elected by the Committee,
were tlie working heads of the Chamber.
In 1874 the Chamber was incorporated, being officially registered
on September 16 in that year. From the annual meeting of 1875
to the present time the offices of Chairman and Vice-CUiairman
have been discontinued, the President and two Vice-Presidents
taking the active direction, and being elected by the Council
annually.

1848, 1861, 1866, and 1868.
By the Grateful— 1760 to 1775 inclusive. 1837, 1839,1840, 1842, 1849
to 1860 inclusive, 1862 to 1865 inclusive, and 1867.
The smallest sums have been contributed—
By the Dolphin— 17f0 to 1768 inclusive, 1770 to 1799 inclusive,

THE COLSTON SOClETmS.- Continued.
The largest collection made by the Dolphin was £1,890 12s. Id.-
in the yea~r 1889, under the presidency of Mr. Jere Osborne.
The lareest collection made by the Anchor was £l,iiC4, in the year
1893, under the presidency of Mr. J. W. Arrowsmith.
The largest collection made by the Grateful was £1,144 4s., in
the year 1840, under the presidency of Mr. J. K. Haberfleld.
It is somewhat remarkable that five of the twelve gentlemen
who filled the chair of the Anchor Society between 1819 and 1830
—Messrs. G. H.Ames, C. Pinney, J. Lean, W. Claxton. and R. Bright
— subseciuentlv became Conservatives ; so also did I\Ir. J. F.Edgar
and Col. H. D. Baillie, presidents in 1798 and 1807 respectively.
Also nine of the presidents between 1866 and 1886 were included in
the Unionist section of the party after the Home Rule split, viz.
Messrs. G. Wills, L. Fry, C. Thomas, W. Pethick, J . W. Hall, E. P.
Wills, F. J. Fry, F. Wills, and J. C. Godwin.
The ascendency of the Whig party in the Corporation at the end
of the 18th and beginning of the 19th century is illustrated by the
fact that of 32 presidents of the Anchor between 1775 and 1806,
onlv 9 were not members of that body, while holding the chair of
the" Whig society, and of these two, Messrs. J. Harford and S.
Span, were elected to the Common Council almost immediately
afterwards ; while another, Mr. M. Castle, had been elected to the
Council, and declined to serve. Mr. Kirkpatrick. the president of
1780, was afterwards Town Clerk, Mr. P. Farr was the brother of
one of the aldermen, and Mr. Pope's father had been an alderman
a few vears before. On the other hand, only four presidants of the
Dolph'in elected between 1729 and 1832 were members of the
Corporation at the time, viz., Mr. G. Daubeuy, Alderman Vaughan,
Alderman Daniel, and Mr. Sheriff Gardiner.
PRESIDENTS OF THE COLSTON SOCIETY
(Commonly called the Parent Society).
This list, which has never appeared in print before, was origin-
ally communicated to me by Alderman Fox, and I have since been
enabled, by the kindness of Alderman Thatcher, to perfect it from
the minutes of the Society. I am much indebted to these gentle-
men and to Alderman Cope- Proctor for facilitating my researches.

SECRETARIES.

1841 John Lucas | Proctor
Sir G. Edwards presided over throe of the four Colston Societies.
viz., Parent, Dolphin, and Grateful. 14 gentlemen have occupied
the chair of two of them, viz. :
Parent and Dolphin :— Messrs. S. Smith, Dr. Moncriefle. W.
Fripp, S. V. Hare, and C. S. Clarke.
Dolphin and Grateful :— Sir J. K. Haberfield.
Parent and Grateful : —Messrs. J. Powell*, H. Abbot, and F.
F. Fox.
Anchor and Grateful :— Sir H. Protheroe. Sir .J. D. Weston,
Messrs. Rowand, E. S. Robinson, and F. J. Fry.
[* The early minutes of the Grateful Society being lost, it is
impossible to identify with certainty the John Powell who was Pre-
sident in 1772, but he was probably the Collector of Customs, who
was President of the Parent in 1783 and Master of the Merchant
Ventui-ers in 1779. Tlie President of the Parent was not identical
with the President of the Dolphin in 1762.]
SOCIETY OF ST. STEPHEN'S
RINGERS.
The date of the foundation of this Society is not known. It
existed in thereisn of Queen Elizabeth, and its annual meetinji; is
held, unless under exceptional circumstances, on Kovember 17,
the anniversary of her accession. The ordinances of the Society
date from 1620. The early minute books are lost, the oldest novvin
possession of the Society beginning with 1732, at which period John
Hobbs was the senior surviving, and Thomas Horwood the imme-
diate. Past Master. The records in the existing minute books were
not always made with the accuracy which has marked the entries
of more recent years ; there are several errors both of omission
and commission ; but witli the valuable co-operation of my friend,
Mr. Fuller Eberle, who has given a great deal of time to the solu-
tion of the difliculties thus presented, I have been enabled to
compile what I believe is a complete and accurate list of Masters
and Wardens of this Antient Society from 1732 to the present
time. The succession of Wardens has never before appeared

ill print, and that of Masters, winch was published some years
ago ill the Times and Mirror, was very far from accurate. It may
be interesting to readers of the Times and Mirror to notice that the
first press mention of the Society's meetings is contained in the
Bristol Mirror of December 7, 1822, and that the Father of the
Society is Mr. T. D. Taylor, who was admitted to membership as
far back as 1846.
[In the following lists the first date is that of election, the second
that of the dinner, at which the Master presided hi person or
by deputy. It will be noticed that during the last 3U years it
has been usual to go tlirouiih the regular gradation of Junior
and Senior Warden and Master in successive years, as is the case
with the Society of Merchant Venturers.]

and third are those of Wardens.)

THE GLOUCESTERSHIRE
SOCIETY.
The Presidents of this ancient charitable society include a
large number of Bristol citizens, whose names occur in other
lists connected with the city. The following succession of Stewards
(as they were originally styled) and Presidents has been furnished
me by the secretary, Mr. F. A. Jenkins, and I have noted those
who were members of the Bristol Corporation at the dates of their
respective appointments.
The society was established on December 1, 1657. Up to 1892
the society's year ended in August ; in that year it was decided
that in future it should end in December, and Mr. Perceval, the
President elected in 1892 for 1892-3, retained office till the close of
1893.
The annual dinner of the society was discontinued after 1890.

MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT FOR
BRISTOL.
1529-1896.
The following list embraces a continuous series of the members
elected to represent Bristol in Parliament since the year 1529, with
the exceptions of the brief Parliaments of 1536 and 1545, for which
no returns are extant. It is impossible to obtain a complete
series for the period before 1529, as the returns for many of the
earlier Parliaments are quite lost. The lists given in Barrett's
and Pryce's histories are very defective, and at the same time do
not indicate the Parliaments for which returns are wanting. So
far as 1 have been able to discover, there is no extant list which
is quite accurate and complete for the period since 1529, and I
have therefore endeavoured to supply that want as far as possible.
For the Parliaments preceding the Revolution of 1688 I have
added to the date of election that of dissolution, inasmuch as there
wei-e frequently considerable intervals between the conclusion
of one and the election of a succeeding Parliament. For the
Parliaments since 1688 this is not necessary, a dissolution of the
old having always been followed immediately by the summoning of
the new Parliament.
1529—1536, Thomas Juliljes ; Richard Abyugdon (Mayor 1525-1526).
[These names are given in the State papers 21 Henry VIII., Vol.

THE OLD CORPORATION OF BRISTOL
FROM 1599 TO THE PASSING OF
THE MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS
ACT OF 1835.
I was enabled, some years ago, by the kindness and with the
active assistance of tlie Town Clerk, Mr. Travers Burges, and
the City Treasurer, Mr. Treniayne Lane, to compile a practically
complete record of the succession ot Aldermen and Common
Councillors of Bristol from the date of the earliest existing
Minute Books (1599) to the Municipal Reform Act of 1835. I
have frequently been urged to publish my collections, no such list
having ever been printed, and I have, therefore, determined to
include them in the present compilation.
ALDERMEN.
The number of Aldermen under the Charter of Henry VII.
(December 17, 1499) was six, including tlie Recorder; tliis was
increased to twelve by the Charter of Elizabeth (July 28. 1581).
Three Aldermen (Thomas Chester, Thomas Kelke, and William
Tucker) died in tlie same week in September, 158,5. In 1591 nine
of the twelve Aldermen were William Hopkins, Mayor ; Thomas
Hannam, Recorder ; John Browne, Philip Langley, Thomas
Aldworth, Thomas Colston, Richard Cole, William Hickes, and
John Barnes.
The Minute Book under date January 13, 1598-9, gives the follow-
ing list, from which time the succession is continuous. When
the cause of a vacancy is not otlierwise stated, it was created by the
death of the .\lderman whose place was filled :—
William Ellys. Mayor ; George Snigge, Recorder ; Thomas
Aldworth, Richard Cole. William Hickes, Francis Knight,
William Rarfrey, William Yate, Jolin Webbe, John Horte, John

Those marked (*) were Aldermen at the date of the passing of
tiie Municipal Corporation Act, 1835. Alderman Barrow had
resigned on October 25, 1834, and Alderman G. Hilhouse in May,
1835, and the vacancies thereby created were not filled up. The
latter remained a member of the Common Council, but the former
withdrew entirely from tlie Corporation. Messrs. Cruger, Baillie,
and Fowler had retained their seats in the Common Council
after resigning then- Aldermancies, the two former till their
deaths, and the last till the passing of the Act of 1835.
The ancient city was divided into eleven wards, viz., those of
Trinity. St. Michael, Redcliff, St. Nicholas, St. James, St Ewen,
St. Stephen, Temple, St. Maryleport, and St. Thomas. To these, on
the destruction of the Castle in the time of the Commonwealth,
was added the Ward of Castle Precincts. Each of the twelve
Aldermen was assigned to one of these wards, and on the occur-
rence of a vacancy each Alderman in turn, in order of seniority,
had, in accordance with an order dated March 29, 1614,
and confirmed August 23, 163S, the option of trans-
ferring himself to the ward then vacant. After the passing
of the IMunicipal Corporation Act of 1835, the ancient
wards were still retained for purposes of Poor-law admin-
istration, two guardians being chosen to represent each of them
in the Incorporation of the Poor, at a ward mote presided over
by tlie Alderman of the ward. Accordingly, on February 19, 1836,
twelve of the sixteen Aldermen elected under the provisions of
the new Act were assigned to the ancient wards, and similar nomi.
nations were made annually until 1894. This system was abolished
by the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1894. and the ancient wards
and their Aldermen then ceased to exist. The following is the
succession of the .\ldermen in their respective wards as far as can
be ascertained from the Minute Books. There is preserved
a list of the division of the wards amongst the Aldermen on
March 6, 1620-1, and occasional notes of appointments to vacancies
up to 1689. since which date the succession is practically com-
plete:— TRINITY.

THE OLD CORPORATION OF BRISTOL.- Continued.
COMMON COUNCIL.
Tlie Common Council oritriually consisted under the Cliai-tei- of
Edward III. (October 30, 1372) of 42 members, viz., tlie Mavor, the
Sheriti', and 40 of " the better and more honest men of tlie town,"
chosen by them.
The Charter of Henry VII. (December 17, 1499), which created six
Aldermen, increased the Common Council to 43, consisting of the
Mayor, two Aldermen selected by him, and 40 others chosen by
them. Until 1684 an Alderman, and therefore the Recorder, was
not necessarily a member of the Council, but as vacancies among
the Aldermen, other than the Recorder, were almost invariably
tilled by existing members of the Council, it was so in effect.
The Charters of 1684 and 1710 made it legally necessary to till
vacancies amongst the Aldermen (except in the case of the
Recorder) from the Common Council.
During the seventeenth century the number ot 43 was frequently
exceeded, and, this being; done without legal sanction, a writ of
quo icarranto was issued in the reign of Charles II., calling on the
Mayor and Common Council to show by what authority they exer-
cised their powers. The Council, bya formal deed dated November
9, 1683, surrendered their existing Cliarters, and on June 2, 1684,
a new (iharterwas granted, incorporating the city (which had not
hitherto been "technically a C:orporation). establishing a Council
of 43, all named in the first instance by the King, who reserved
power to remove any of them, or of their successors, at his
discretion. On October 17, 1688, the old Charters, the surrender
of which had not been duly recorded and enrolled, were restored
by Royal proclamation, and the Charter of 1684 was annulled.
Queen Anne granted a further (Jharter, dated July 24, 1710, which
declai'ed the City of Bristol to be incorporate, and explicitly re-
nounced the right of removing any of the members of the Cor-
poration, or of its officers.
On January 13, 1598 9, thedateof the earliest extant minutes, the
Corporation consisted of the following 43 members, viz. :—
^Thomas Aldworth, Alderman, died February 25, 1599
*Richard Cole, Alderman, died July, 1599

January, 1683-4
1682-3, March 12. vice Atkyns — Sir John Cliurcliill, Recorder,

Tlie number of Councillors was now 52, whicli by tlie deaths of
Alderman Olliffe, Alderman Sir J. Is-night, Messrs. Webb and
Colston was reduced to 48 by the end of January, 1683-4. Mean-
time, in conse(iucnco of the issue of the writ of r///o warranto, the
Charters had been surrendered on November 9, 1683. The instru-
ment of surrender was signed by the Mayor (Sir W. Clutterbuck),
the Recorder (Sir J. Charchill]), Sir J. Knight, Sir R. Cann, Sir
R. Crumpe, Alderman Eston, and the Town Clerk (John Romsey).
[Note.— The John Knights of this period are somewhat confus-
ing, and the identification and discrimination of the various
persons of the same name holding oliicial positions in connection
with Bristol, has been a problem^which has exercised, not always
with success, the ingenuity of a good many inquirers. The most
accurate account of tliem that has appeared in print is, I think, that
contained in volume 3 of Nicholls and Taylor's Bristol Past ami
Present, which I am now able to render more complete. Mr.
Tremayue Lane has very kindly given me tracings of thesigna-
tui'cs of the John Knights who were members of the Common
Council, as they appear in the records at the Council House, and
Mr. G H. Pope has very carefully examined for me the memor-
anda concerning them in the books of the JNIerchant Venturers,
and has ascertained a fact which had hitherto escaped the notice
of himself, as well as of ail previous writers, including the author
of the article on the Knights in the Dictionary oj National Biof/rapliy,
viz., the relationship between Alderman John Knight the
younger, and the second Sir John Knight. The following may,
I think, be relied upon as a complete and accurate identification
of the various John Knights who were conspicuous in our local
annals.
1. John Knight " the elder "—afterwards Sir John Knight-
son of Alderman George Knight, was a wholesale grocer in
Temple parish. He was elected a Common Councillor in
1650 and 1654. but not sworn till 1660, m which year he was
elected Sheriff', but succeeded in getting excused from
serving on account of his Parliamentary duties. He was
an Alderman from 1662 till his death in 1683, and Mayor in
1663-4, was knighted in 1563, and served as M.P. for Bristol
in the four Parliaments from 1660 to 1680. He was also
IMaster of the Merchant Venturers in 1663, but never
Warden.
2. John Knight "the younger"— so called to distinguish him
from No. 1, until the lattcr's knightnood. when he dropped
that affix. He was elected a Common Councillor in 1653
and 1661, )mt not sworn till 1664, and was an Alderman
from 1672 till his death, in 1679. He was Sheriff 1664-5, and
Mayor 1670-71, but was never knighted, and did not serve in
Parliament. He was IMaster of the ^Merchant Venturers
1666-67, having been three times Warden, 1654-55, 1655-56,
1661-62. He was a sugar refiner, and belonged to St.
Michael's parish.
3. John Knight" of the Hill"— afterwards Sir John Knight.
He was a son of No. 2, and was elecfed a Connnon Coun-
cillor in 1674 and 1679. retired in 1685. returned to the
Council in 1688, and finally withdrew in 1702, dying in
205
THE OLD CORPORATION OF BRISTOL.- Contimied.
1718. He was Slienff 1681-82, and Mayor 1691-92, and M.P
in the two Parliaments from 1689 to 1695, and was knighted
during liis Shrievalty in 1682. He was Warden of the
Merchant Venturers 1681-82, but never Master.
Besides these members of the Corporation there was also
4. Jolm Knight, "the younger," son of Sir John Knight (No. 1),
was never in tlie Council, but was Warden of tlie Mercliant
Venturers 1671-2, and died May 29, 1684, a few montlis after
liis father. My previous identification (on page 124) or tlie
Warden for 1671-2 with No. 2, was incorrect, liaving been
made before Mr. Pope's examination of the minutes and
signatures at Mercliant's Ilall.
It will be seen that of tlie four, Nos. 1, 2, and 3 were members of
tlie Corporation, and served the oflice of Mayor ; Nos. 1 and 2 were
Aldermen ; Nos. 1 and 3 were knighted, and also served as members
of Parliament for the city. All were members of the Society of
Merchant Venturers : No. 2 was both Master and Warden; No. 1
was Master, but not Warden ; and Nos. 3 and 4 were Wardens, but
not Masters.]

[Messrs. Ricketts and Hunt were not sworn until after the
passing of the Municipal Corporations Act (which did not come
into operation until January. 1836), and onlv attended one meeting
of the Council. The vacancies caused by the resignation of
Alderman Barrow and the death of Mr. Baillie were not tilled up.
Aldermen Daniel.Fripp, A. Hilhouse, George, Goldnev, Savage, and
Roch, and Councillors Pinuey, Walker. Riddle. Lunell, Lean,
Castle, C;. George, Watsou. Maze, and Ricketts obtained seats in
the Reformed Corporation, as also did Messrs. Stock, Winwood.
Hall, sen.. Ash, and Nash, who had previously refused to serve.]
Lit will be noticed that throughout the 18th century the Whig
party predominated in, and at times almost monopolised, the
Common Council. In the earlier part of George III.'s reign almost
the only representatives of the Tories were Messrs. Hotchkin.
Miles, Mugleworth, Baker, :Miller, Brickdale, Daubcny, and
Lippincott, the last three of whom became membei's for the city.
Tlie political complexion of the Corporation w^as completely
transformed during the quarter of a century preceding the
Municipal Reform Act, mainly through the influence of Alderman
Daniel. The common notion that the old Corporation was a per-
manently Tory institution, and that the Tories were esponsible
for the abuses whicli that body wascredited by the Reforming party
with perpetuating, is altogether a popular delusion. The supremacy
of tJie Tories in the Bristol fJorpoi-ation before the Reform Act
lasted for barely 25 years out of the 150 which followed the
Revolution and the restoration of the old Charter; during the
rest of that period it was mainly a Whig preserve. In the agita-
tion against the town dues in the years 1823-1828, the leaders were
Tories— Henry Bush and John Mathew Gutch, editor of Felix
Farley's Journal, who wrote the letters sisned " Cosmos," which
served as a sort of text-book for the Anti-Corporation party.]
The succession of " Fathers of the Corporation " was for the most
part, but not invariably, coincident with that of senior Alderman.
It runs as follows :--
January, 1598-9— Alderman Thomas Aldworth
February, 1598-9— Alderman Cole
July, 1599— Alderman Hickes
July. 1618— Alderman Vawer
January, 1619-20— Alderman Whitson

11 Mayors (Sir T. Langton, Sir J. Lloyd, Sir R. Hart, Sir T. Earle,
Sir W. Clutterbuck. Sir W. Hayman, Sir T. Day, Sir J. Hawkius, Sir
W. Lewis, Sir J. Durbin. and Sir W. J. Struth) and 5 Sheriffs
(Sir J. Knight, II., Sir W. Mcrricke, Sir W. Daines, Sir S. Nash,
and Sir H. Protheroe) were knighted whilst holding tlieir re-
spective offices. Three Baronets held tlie Mayoralty (Sir R. Cann,
Sir R. Yeamans, and Sir A. Elton). The second Sir A. Elton
succeeded to that dignity after filling the Mayoralty, and two ex-
Sheriffs (J. Laroche. jun., and H. Lippincott) were created
Baronets. The following Mayors also received knighthood, but
not during their terms of office as Mayor or Sheriff : Sir H. Cres-
wicke, Sir J. Knight (I.), Sir R. Crunipe and Sir R. Yaughan.
It is a fact worthy of notice that during the 90 years 1715—1804,
only eleven Tories were elected to the Mayoralty ; from 1715 to
1767 inclusive, a period of 52 years, the Whigs monopolised tbe
chair. (Messrs. Mugleworth and 1. Elton, who subsequently voted
for Tory candidates at the Parliamentary elections, were Whigs
at the time they tilled the office of Chief Magistrate.) On the other
hand Messrs. Fripp and Pinney (both of whom afterwards
became Conservatives), were the only Whig Mayors from 1816 to
1835.

[The number of physicinns was originally fixed at three, and
there were only three candidates, but a poll "was taken to deter-
mine the order of seniority and retirement. The ordinary period
of service was to be ten years, but of those chosen at the first
election the highest on the poll was to serve eleven, the next ten,
and the third nine years. Dr. Chadwick, who was senior in pro-
fessional standing to his competitors, was so annoyed at being
placed third on the list, especially below Dr. Symonds, whom he
described as a "comparative stranger," that he issued an address
declining to accept the office. His place was not filled, and there
were only two physicians until 1856, when the original number of
three was restored. Viewed in the light of Dr. Symonds' subse-
quent professional eminecce, Dr. Chadwick's petulant address is
a curiosity.]

ANTIENT SOCIETY OF ST. STEPHEN'S
RINGERS.
MASTERS, 1681 - 1708.
Since the list of Masters and Wardens of this Antient Society,
which I liave given on pages 153-160, was printed, I have discovered,
among the manuscripts of the late Richard Smith, at the Infirmary,
a paper containing the names of the Masters from 1681 to 1708,
which I at once communicated to Mr. Fuller Eberle, the Treasurer
of the Society, and which in consequence appeared for the first
time in print on the toast-card at the dinner of 1898. This list I
now subjoin.
1681-1682, Thomas Atkins 1688-1689, David Potter
1682-1683, Jolm Neads 1689-1690, William Pugsley
1683-1684, John Blanch 1690-1691, John Thompson
1684-1685, Frajicis Price 1691-1692, Joseph Baugh
1685-1686, James Hulbert 1692-1693, Charles Ansford
1686-1687, Robert Bound 1693-1694, William Nichols
1687-1688, Richard Adams 1694-1695, Robert Sergeant
(Mr. Sergeant died during his year of office, as did also his
successor, Hugh Williams.)

There is no record from 1708 to 1731, when Thomas Horwood was
elected. In Mr. Smith's time the names for those years had
evidently been lost, as he appends to his list the words, "hiatus
valde deflendus !" John Hobb^ (Master 1696-1697) was the " Father"
of the Society at the date of the earliest minute book now known
to exist, which begins with the year 1732,

first six in E edcliff and St. Augustine s respecti-
vely, and the first three in each of the otJ.ier
wards, the first third of tlie total number elected
in each ward retiring in 1836, the second third in
1837, and the rest in 1838. In all the succeeding
annual elections Bristol and Chfton returned three
each to 1879, and two each from 1880, Kedcliff and
St. Augustine two each till 1879, and one each
from 1880, the remaining wards one each. Each
Councillor chosen at an annual election serves for
three years, those returned to fill casual vacan-
cies till the expiration of the term for which their
predecessors were serving.
Under the Act of 1835 no casual vacancies were
to be filled till the total number of Councillors
was reduced to two-thirds of the full complement,
hence the vacancies in Bristol and Clifton caused
by the election of Mr. Stock as Alderman and the
death of Mr. Goldney remained unsupplied till the
annual election of 1837, after the passing of the
amending Act of that year by which tliis pro-
vision was repealed.
ELECTION OF ALDERMEN (pp. 42-47).
At the triennial elections from 1838 to 1898 eight
Aldermen were elected on each occasion to serve
for six years, and five additional Aldermen were

aries, of whom two were to serve for seven years
and three for four jears. In 1901 and each suc-
ceeding sixth year eleven will be elected, and in
1904 and each succeeding sixth year ten.

Wedmore, and FollwoU; Mr. Jones by 10 Conser-
vatives and 14 Liberals. Of those 14, no less than
8 (Messrs. E. S. Robinson, W. H. Wills, W. Terrell,
Whitwill, Carpenter, G. Wills, Matthews, and
Cole) voted against Mr. Jones at the next elec-
tion in 1873; of the remaining 6, one (Mr. C. J.
Thomas) did not vote, being himself nominated,

SOCIETY OF MERCHAIST VENTURERS (p. 122).
This society has been for many years exclusively
Conservative in politics. Mr. Robert Bruce, who
died in 1874. is said by Mr. Latimer, in liis " Annals
of Bristol in the 19t!i Century," to have been the
last Liberal member of it. Messrs. J. E. Luiiell,
M. D. Protheroe, and S. Lunell .vere other late
Liberal survivals. The last-named died in 1876,
after Mr. Bruce, but the poll books sliow him to
have been a not very consistent politician, and he
may have been a Conservative at the end of his
life. In tlie middle of the IStli century the pre-
vailing tone of the societv was Whig.
THE COLSTON SOCIETIES (pp. 158-152).
Tlie two oldest societies— the Colston (Parent)

Tlie fornier contains a few Wliig- names on its
roll, viz., H. O. Wills, who was President in 1822,
and Messrs. T., G. E., and J. N. Sanders, each of
whom declined the chair in his turn. Mr. G E
Sanders had been a Torv in eaiiv life, and liis
father had filled the chair of the Dolpiiin. Mr
Gore-Langton. the Whig M.P. for Somersetshire
(father of W. H. Gore-Lano-ton, M.P. for Bristol)
was President of the Dolphin in 1317. but his rela-
tive, tlio Rev. C. Gore, whose politics were more
in accordance with those of the other members of
the society, took the chair for him.
The Gr.vteful Society, which is entirely non-
political, was founded by, and m the earlier vears
of its histcry was almost entirely composed of,
old pupils of Colston's School. The original meet
nig to form the society was held at the Ship Inn,
November 8, 1758, and issued an appeal for sup-
port to " th-jse who owe their well-being to that
great, good man " (Edward Colston).

PAELIAMENTAEY ELECTIONS (pp. 167-170).
At the electiSu of 1654 there were two unsuccess-
ful candidates— John Haggett, Steward of tlie
Sheriff's Court, who was also Chief Justice of
South Wales, and George Bishop, a captain in the
Parliamentary army.
At the election of 1790 the Marquis of Worcester
was proposed by Alderman Daniel and Lori
Shoifiei'l by Councillor Kichard Bright.
At the electi )n of 1835 Sir John Ilotahouse was
propose-! unexpectedly on the nomination day (as
stated in tlie text;, in the hope of carrying the
second seat tor the Liberals, who thought to catch
their opponents unprepared. Tlie address to the
electors recommending Sir John was signed by 57
prominent Liberals, headed by Mr. (afterwards
Sir) C. A. Elton, of whom Mr. C. J. Thomas was
the last survivor. The otlijrs were J. Cunning-

ALDEEMEN FOE THE ANCIEOT WAEDS
(pp. 190-132).
The records in Ihe Council minute books are
somewhat deficient in the assignment cf wards
for the period between 1564 and 1689, and again
between 1700 and 1736. The minutes of the Incor-
poration of tho Poor enable me to supply some
omissions and correct some crrDrs in the text as
printed on pp. 190-194:

THE RECOEDEE ANT) THE COMTVIOX COUNCn.
(p. 195).
As stated in the text, the Eecorder, although an
Alderman by virtue of his office, was not necessar-
ily a member of the Common Council until 1710,
excf'Dt during the intermission of the old Charter
from 1684 to 16S8. On March 6, 1689-90. the Coun-
cil refused to admit the then Eecoj'der (Serjeant
Powlett), who clai'iied membership as a matter ot
rio-ht, and the minutes record that the House
"broke up after a hirge commotion." Serjeant
Powlstt was subsequently (September, 1696) elected
a member ol the Common Council.
THE KNIGHTS (pp 204-205).
Since the note on these pages was printed, I
JiavQ ascertained that Alderman John Knight (No.
2) was a son of Edward Knight, who was second
son of Alderman Francis Knight. He was conse-
quently first cousin to the first Sir Jolin (No. 1),
who was son of Alderman George Knight, tiic
eldest son of Francis. This appears from a con-
veyance of land in Brisiol and Congrtsbury. "o
which Sir Jobn, Alderman .John, and his latnor
Edward were parties, and wluch was enrolled ni
Cliancsry May 5, 1659, being dated December 30
in the preceding year. For Ihis information i
am indebted to Mr. Thomas :'erry, ot \\ altham-
stow. who has transcribed and communicated to
mo an abstract of *h.i conveyance as enrolled.
" Notes and Queries " <9th series, pp. 321-322) of
April 29, 1899. contains a note by me on " ilie
Knights of Bristol." which, I think, exhausts all
tlie facts that serve to Hscruninate between the
various members of the family who were associ-
ated with the municipal and Parliamentary his-
tory of Bristol.
VICE CHAMBERLAINS (p. 2351.
AVilliara Challoner held this office from Ma>.;h
2. 1668-9, to 1686, liis predecessor being Arthu'-

THE "BRISTOL JOURNALS "OF THE
EIGHTEENTH CENTURY.
The following account of the " Rristol Journals "
of the eighteenth century is reprinted with some
slight alterations, from the "Bristol Times and
Mirror" of August 12th, 1899. It cmbod'ss the
substance of a valuable note by Mr. William
George, which was first published in the
" Athenaeum " of August 2nd, 1881. and was re-
produced in the " Times and Mirror " on the 4th
of that month. The additional information is
derived from Bazeley and IJyett's " Gloucestershire
Bibliography," Mr. John Lat'mer's " Annals of
Bristol," and from my own personal researci;es in
the papers themselves. — A. B. B.
The first of the Farley napers was the "' Bristol
Postman," which was published by Saniufd
Farley in 1713, number 24 being dated July 25th in
that year; it was printed at the house in St.
Nicholas Street near the church. In 1725 it was
discontinued, and immediately succeeded by " Fai--
ley's Bristol Newspaper," which was printed in Wine
Street; number 20 is dated September 18th. On or
before July 9th, 1737, the title was changed, by the
insertion of the publisher's Christian name, to
" Sam. Farley's Bristol Newsp;'.p,-?r." This was
superseded in 1743 by two newspapers published by
the same family, and having a sort of Castor-and-
Pollux existence, being issued in alternate weeks.
They were named respectively " Felix Farley's
Bristol Journal" and "Farley's Bristol Advertiser,"
the latter, as will be seen, not having a Christian
name in the title. The issue of the " Journal " for
March 24th, 1743-4, is numbered 17, that of the
450
" Advertiser " for the following week (March 51st)
being 18. The last number of the "Advertiser" ap-
peared on August 23rd, 1746, the "Journal" con-
tinuing to be issued as a weekly paper.
The number for January 9th, 1747-8, was (pro-
bably by an inadvertence) named "Felix .barley's
Bristol Advertiser," but that for the following
week (January 16th, 1747-8) reverted to the old
designation of " Journal," dropping, however, the
Christian name, and being styled '" Farley's Bristol
Journal " ; shortly afterwards the name of the pub-
lisher was also dropped, and the title became simply
'■ The Bristol Journal," which designation it retained
unchanged till 1777. At this time the proprietors
were Samuel and Felix Farley, sons of the original
Samuel, and the publishing office was in Castle
Green.
In March. 1752, the brothers separated, and Felix
then started a rival paper under the name (which
had been in use, as already stated, from 1743 to
1748) of " Felix Farley's Bristol Journal," the first
number being published on March 28th. There were
thus two papers appearing simultaneously under
nearly the same name, " The Bristol Journal " (pub-
lished by S. Farley) and " Felix Farley's Bristol
Journal." The latter maintained an unbroken sepa-
rate existence until incorporated with the " Bristol
Times" in 1853.
In tracing the subsequent histories of the two
Farley jomrials, I will take the older first, that, viz.,
carried on by Samuel, after the secession of his
brother, under the name of " The Bristol Joui--
nal." Samuel did not long survive the dissolution
of partnership, dying in the autumn of 1753, his
brother having pre-deceased him earlier in the same
year. The paper was then carried on by his niece,
Sarah Farley, under the same designation, viz.,
" The Bristol Journal," which did not incor-
porate the lady's Christian name with its title until
after her death. Sarah died July 12th, 1774, and
was succeeded in the proprietorship and manage-
ment of the paper by Hester Farley, daughter of
Felix, who retired from business September 30th,
1775. She disposed of " The Bristol Journal '
to Meosrs. George and William Routh and Charles
Nelson, from whose office, at 18, Bridge Street, it
was henceforth published, the old office in Castle
Green being taken from the same date by the pro-
prietors of " Bonner and Middleton's Bristol Jour-
nal," whic'i was then just one year old, and wliich
subsequently became the " Bristol Mirror."
On July 12th, 1777, Mr. Nelson withdrew
from the partnership, and Messrs. Routh, in order
451
to emphasise the clistmction between their paper
and tliat bearing the name of " Felix Farley," added
the name of its former proprietor, Sarah, to its
title, so that it appeared thereafter as " Sarah
Farley's Bristol Jom-nal." In the course of a few
years (I lave not ascertained the exact date) Mr.
George Routh retired, and Mr. William Routh's
name appears as the sole printer and publisher in
the various issues of the Bristol Directory from
1794 to 1800 inclusive. He died June 3rd, 1800, and
hio widow, Catherine Routh, succeeded him. In
1806 Mrs. Routh sold the paper. The "Bristol
Mirror " of June 25th, 1806, contains an advertise-
ment offering for sale a paper, of which the name is
not given, but which undoubtedly was " Sarah
Farley's Bristol Journal." In this advertisement it
is described ns having been " carried on for 90 years "
in the " second great commercial and populous city
in the Kingdom." I have not discovered the names
of the purchasers, but the title was changed to the
" Mercantile Gazette and General Intelligencer (late
Saraji Farley's Bristol Journal)." The new proprie-
tors apparently soon grew dissatisfied with their
property, and the paper was again sold in July, 1807,
to Messrs. Agg and Sander, proprietors of the
" Western Star," and for the brief remainder of its
existence it was called the " Western Star and
Mercantile Gazette, late Sarah Farley's Journal."
In the Directory for 1807, John Agg's name is
given as publisher of " Sarah Farley's Journal," at
the old address, 18, Bridge Street. In the following
year the name of Sarah Farley disappears from the
Directory, and Agg's name is recorded as publisher
of the ■■ Western Star," at 45, Broadmead. On
February 21st, 1809, the partnership of John Agg
and James Farnham Williams, under the style of
Jchn Agg and Co., was dissolved, and on April 15th,
1809, John Agg was gazetted bankrupt. In the
Directory for 1809 there is no mention of either Agg
or his paper, and it may be safely assumed that the
latter ceased to exist either at the end of 1808 or
early in 1809, though the exact date of its final dis-
appearance cannot now be positively fixed.
Mr. George, in the note I have already referred to,
states that Sarah Farley's paper " appears to have
merged in the ' Bristol Mirror,' " but I think he is
in error on that point, as I can find no trace of any
record either in the " Mirror " of that time, or in
any other paper, confirmatorv of that assumption.
"Fehx Farley's Journal" of September 16th, 1809,
in recording the death of Mrs. Catherine Routh
during the preceding week, describes her as having
been the publisher of " Sarah Farley's Journal,"
which, it adds, " became extinct a few years since,"
452
evidently dating the decease of the paper from 1806,
when it was merged in the " Mercantile Gazette."
It is somewhat remarkable that no copy of " Sarah
Farley's Journal " during the last twelve yea^s, at
least, of its existence is now extant. Mr. Geor;,e, in
a letter to me, dated December 15, 1898, states that
the latest copy with which he is acquainted is in the
British Museum, dated August 3, 1793, i'ad iium-
bered 4,023. I have not had an opportunity of
verifying this by persciial inspection, but Mr.
Fortescue, of the British Museum, writing to me
on the day after the date of Mr. George's letter,
tells me that the only copies of " Sarah Farley's
Journal " in that library are those for April 27.
August 3 and 10, 1782, March 3, 1784, nn.l for
the period from September to December, 1785.
Mr. George is generally so accurate that I imagine
Mr. Fortescue must have accidentally overlooked the
copy which he names. The latest issue in Alderman
Fox's library is that of December 27, 1788 ; the cata-
logue of Mr. Braikenridge's collection is entirely
wanting in any entry relating to this paper, but in-
cludes six numbers of the old " Postman," those,
viz., for December 19 and 31, 1715, and January 7,
14, 21, and 28, 1716. I believe I am right in saying
that there are no copies of " The Bristol
Journal " (afterwards " Sarah Farley's ") in either
the Central Free Library in King Street or the Eefer-
ence Library, Queen's Road. The latest number in
Mr. T. D. Taylor's collection is that for September
24, 1774. There are complete issues for several
years (sometimes in the same volume with "Felix
Farley") at the Commercial Rooms. The latesc
number in that collection is vol. 74, number 3,817,
dated August 15, 1789 ; for the remainder of that
year its place is taken by " Bonner and Middleton's
Bristol Journal."
" Felix Farley's Journal," as I hnve already slated,
was begun in March, 1752, the publi'i'iing offices
being in Small Street. Felix died April 26, 1753,
and the paper was carried on for some years atier
his death by his widow, Elizabeth Farley. (His
daughter Hester, as mentioned above, took up the
management of her uncle Samuel's paper, the
original " Farley's Bristol Journal," on the death
of his other niece, Sarah.) After Elizabeth
Farley, the proprietorship of " Felix Farley's
Journal " passed to Messrs. Thomas Cocking
and John Eudhall, of whom the former died
in July, 1787, and the latter on March 10,
1803. Mr. Rudhall was ^.ucceeded by his son
John Broughton Rudhall, who in October, 1805, took
into partnership Mr. John Mathew Gutch, a school-
fellow of Coleridge and Lamb at Christ's Hospital,
453
and a man of high literary attainments, a memoir
of whom is given in the " Dictionary of National
Biography." This partnership was dissolved January
1, 1807, and Mr. Gutch then conducted the paper
alone for several years, being afterwards joined by
James Martin, who, on Mr. Gutch's retirement, iii
1844, became solely responsible for the publication.
The circulation had been for some years steadi'y
declining, and the paper was quite unable to teep
pace with its young and more vigorous Conservative
rivals, the "Mirror" and the "Times," then under
the able management of Messrs. John Taylor and
Joseph Leech respectively. Mr. Martin found him-
self involved in financial difficulties, and emigrated
to Australia about 1851, where he passed the re-
mainder of his life, and died July 13, 1862. For a
few months " Felix Farley's Journal " continued to
struggle on, the chief proprietor during the closing
months of its independent existence being the Rev.
Henry Richards, rector of Horfield, until, in Aprd,
1853, it was purchased by Mr. Leech, and incor-
porated with the "Bristol Times," which that
gentleman, then a very young man, had started in
1839, and had continued to conduct with great
energy and success.
The British Museum Library possesses a set of
" Felix Farley " from 1779 to 1853, and Mr. T. D.
Taylor's collection supplies the issues of previous
years, with some missing numbers, from 1755 to
1765, and after 1772. Those between 1765 and 1772
are, I think, at the Commercial Rooms, with the ex-
ception of the years 1769 and 1770. It is worth ve-
marking that I can find no trace of any extant copy
of any Bristol newspaper for the year 1769 or for
1770, earlier than Nd\ ember 3 of the latter year,
from which date Mr. T. D. Taylor possesses copies
of " Sarah Farley's Journal." I am nearly sure, and
Messrs. George and Latimer confirm my recollection,
that a volume of either " Felix " or " Sarah Farley "
(or both in one), coi taining the years 1769 and
1770, was at the Commercial Rooms some 15 or 20
years ago, but it has been mislaid and cannot be
found.
It remains for me to add a few notes on the
paper which ultimately became known as the " Bristol
Mirror." In its original form this paper was called
" Bonner and Middleton's Bristol Journal," the first
number of which was issued by Samuel Bonner and
Richard Middleton (the former of whom had been
foreman to Sarah Farley, who had died in the pre-
ceding month) from their office hi Castle Street,
in August, 1774. On September 30, 1775, they re-
moved their head-quarters to Castle Green, taking
possession of the old office of " Farley's," afterwards
454
" Sarah Farley's Bristol Journal," which was vacated
on the transference of the proprietorship of the
latter paper to Messrs. Routh and Nelson, whose
office was in Bridge Street. The partnership of
Messrs. Bonner and Middleton was dissolved Septem-
ber 29, 1783, when the junior member of the firm
(who died at the age of 82 on February 15, 1807)
retired. Mr. Bonner continued to publish the journal
until April 17, 1802, when he transferred it to Messrs.
John Fenley and George Baylis. Mr. Bonner died
at the age of 80, on September 11, 1813. The part-
nership of Messrs. Fenley and Baylis ceased June 25,
1803, when Mr. Baylis withdrew, his place in the
firm being taken by William Sheppard. The origiml
name of " Bonner and Middleton's Journal " was
retained until the end of 1803, but on January 7,
1804, it appeared as "Fenley and Sheppard's Journal,"
which title it retained for three months, at the end
of which period Mr. Fenley withdrew, owing to bad
health. He did not long survive, dying on his
passage to the West Indies, February 5, 1805. On
April 14, 1804, the paper bore for the first time " The
Mirror, late Bonner and Middleton's Journal," and
was stated to be published " for the proprietors " by
William Sheppard. The chief of these proprietors
was Mr. Richard Smith, the celebrated surgeon. I
do not know how many co-partners were associated
with him, but the largest and possibly the only other
shareholder was Mr. Thomas David, who afterwards
gave his name to the present senior proprietor of
the " Tim.es and Mirror," Mr. T. D. Taylor. From
this date (1804) to 1826, the " Mirror " continued to
be " printed and published for the proprietors." Mr.
Sheppard's name as printer and publisher made way
for that o*^ J. Desmond July 27, 1805, who in turn
was succeeded by C. A. Holl, September 5, 1807,
for whom, on December 31. 1809, was substituted A.
Brown. Mr. Brown's name appeared as publisher
'■ for the proprietors " till August 19, 1826 ; in the next
issue (August 26, 1826) these words were dropped,
and the name of Mr. John Taylor, the principal, and
iiltimately sole, proprietor, was substituted as printer
and publisher. Mr. Taylor continued his control of
the "Mirror" until his death, April 11, 1859, when
he was succeeded by his son, the present Mr. T. D.
Taylor, under whose reign was effected the amalga-
mation with the '■ Bristol Times," which resulted in
the issue, on January 1, 1865, of the " Bristol Times
and Mirror " as a daily Conservative newspaper,
Messrs. Leech and Taylor being joint proprietors.
From the foregoing sketch it wih be seen that the
" Bristol Times and Mirror " traces its existence as
an independent paper to the year 1752, being the
direct representative of " Felix Farley's Bristol
455
Journal,"' which was then established, and has since
1853 been incorporated with the " Bristol Times,"
and in 1865 was merged in the present daily publica-
tion. " Felix Farley's Journal " itself being an off-
shoot from the original " Bristol Joimial," which in
turn was the successor of Samuel Farley's " Post-
man" of 1713, the "Bristol Times and Mirror" may
be said to carry back its ancestry over a period of
186 years to a date in the very infancy of British
journalism.
