Lord Mansfield 1760 hand written letter. William Murray, 1st Earl of Mansfield, PC, SL (2 March 1705 – 20 March 1793) was a British barrister, politician and judge noted for his reform of English law. Born to Scottish nobility, he was educated in Perth, Scotland, before moving to London at the age of 13 to take up a place at Westminster School. He was accepted into Christ Church, Oxford, in May 1723, and graduated four years later. Returning to London from Oxford, he was called to the Bar by Lincoln's Inn on 23 November 1730, and quickly gained a reputation as an excellent barrister. He became involved in politics in 1742, beginning with his election as a Member of Parliament for Boroughbridge, and appointment as Solicitor General. In the absence of a strong Attorney General, he became the main spokesman for the government in the House of Commons, and was noted for his "great powers of eloquence" and described as "beyond comparison the best speaker" in the House of Commons. With the promotion of Sir Dudley Ryder to Lord Chief Justice in 1754, he became Attorney General, and when Ryder unexpectedly died several months later, he took his place as Chief Justice. The most powerful British jurist of the century, his decisions reflected the Age of Enlightenment and moved England on the path to abolishing slavery and the slave trade. He advanced commercial law in ways that helped establish the nation as the world leader in industry, finance and trade. He modernised both English law and the English courts system; he sped up the system for submitting motions and reformed the way judgments were given to reduce time and expense for the parties. For his work in Carter v Boehm and Pillans v Van Mierop, he has been called the founder of English commercial law. He is perhaps best known for his judgment in Somersett's Case (1772), where he held that slavery had no basis in common law and had never been established by positive law (legislation) in England, and therefore was not binding law (although this did not end slave trafficking altogether).Good Condition.

CHAMBERLAIN NEVILLE: (1869-1940) British Prime Minister 1937-40. War date T.L.S., Neville Chamberlain, with holograph salutation and subscription, two pages, 4to, 10 Downing Street, Whitehall, 25th January 1940, to Lord Kemsley ('My dear Gomer'), on the printed stationery of the Prime Minister. Chamberlain thanks his correspondent for their letter 'drawing my attention to the fact that no manuscripts were available for the Press either of the speech by Lord Halifax on Saturday or of the broadcast by Mr. Winston Churchill on Saturday night' and continues to explain that wherever possible Ministers or their Departments do their best to provide the Press with manuscripts ('knowing full well the difficulties under which newspapers are produced in these days') although also remarking 'At the same time, I am sure you will fully sympathise with Ministers when, on occasion, it is found physically impossible to render this service, and also when, in some circumstances, the speaker himself decides to speak from notes rather than from a fully prepared document'. Chamberlain further writes 'As regards Lord Halifax's speech, I understand that the Foreign Secretary definitely decided to speak from notes and no full manuscript was therefore prepared' and also comments 'In the case of Mr. Winston Churchill the manuscript was, I am given to understand, only finished shortly before he went to the microphone and copies were issued to the Press as soon as possible'. A letter of interesting content, not least for its references to Churchill and his broadcast which was later associated with appeasers. The two pages are neatly fastened by the original brass fastener to the upper left corner. About EX Gomer Berry (1883-1968) 1st Viscount Kemsley. Welsh Colliery owner and Newspaper Publisher who co-owned The Daily Telegraph and whose Kemsley Newspapers group also included The Sunday Times, The Daily Sketch and The Sunday Graphic. Edward Wood (1881-1959) 1st Earl of Halifax. British Politician, Foreign Secretary 1938-40. On Neville Chamberlain's resignation in early May 1940 Halifax effectively declined the position of Prime Minister despite widespread support across the political spectrum as he felt Winston Churchill would be a more suitable war leader. Winston S. Churchill (1874-1965) British Prime Minister 1940-45, 1951-55. Nobel Prize winner for Literature, 1953. At the time of the present letter Churchill was serving as First Lord of the Admiralty and, as the present letter reflects, he had made a BBC radio broadcast on Saturday, 20th January 1940 in which he warned of the 'criminal adventurers of Berlin'. The speech also included Churchill's crocodile metaphor (later associated with appeasers) when he stated 'Each one hopes that if he feeds the crocodile enough the crocodile will eat him last. All of them hope that the storm will pass before their turn comes to be devoured. But the storm will not pass. It will rage and roar even more loudly, even more widely'. The speech was well received by the British public and was further evidence that Churchill was the backbone of the cabinet. It was, however, less well received by neutral countries and by the Foreign Secretary, Lord Halifax.

Sir Thomas Lawrence, PRA, FSRA (1750-1829, British ) Charles Abbot, 1st Baron Colchester PC, FRS 1757-1829, oil on canvas, 62 x 75cmProvenance: Deceased estate from country house in Suffolk in 2014There is an identical portrait of the same sitter By Sir Thomas Lawrece, PRA in the Parlimentary Art Collection at Westminster, Accession number: WOA 2725 and given by Lord Colechester in 1825, this portrait is catalogued as after the original, but it is likely that it is a studio version.Abbot, Charles, first Baron Colchester (1757-1829), speaker of the House of Commons, was born on 14 October 1757 at Abingdon, Berkshire, the son of the Revd John Abbot (d. 1760), a fellow of Balliol College, Oxford, and rector of All Saints, Colchester, and his wife, Sarah, the daughter of Jonathan Farr, a citizen and draper of London. He was educated at Westminster School from 1763 and at Christ Church, Oxford, from 1776, winning the college prize for Latin verse in his first year and the chancellor's prize the year after. In 1778-9 he studied civil law in Geneva and obtained a doctorate, which was complemented by bachelor's and doctoral degrees in English civil law in 1783 and 1793. Elected Vinerian scholar by the University of Oxford in 1781, he was promoted to a residential fellowship in 1786. After being called to the bar from the Middle Temple in 1783 and joining the Oxford and Chester circuits, he surrendered his fellowship in 1792 to practise in the equity courts.Artist:Lawrence, Sir Thomas (1769-1830), painter and draughtsman, chiefly of portraits, was born on 13 April 1769 at 6 Redcross Street, Bristol. Within two or three years the very young Lawrence had revealed his talent for drawing, being capable particularly of sketching, in pencil, likenesses of people.The year 1790 marked full public recognition of Lawrence's achievements, in terms of prestige as well as of art. In that year he exhibited at the Royal Academy twelve portraits, among them two full lengths, the actress Elizabeth Farren (1789-90; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York) and Queen Charlotte (1789-90; National Gallery, London). Reviews of the exhibition warmly praised both paintings, which rank among his finest achievements. Paint is handled with a richness, crispness, and confident pleasure seldom seen in British art, while the likenesses and costumes are seized with equally pleasurable confidence. And complementing the freshness of portrayal is a vivid, fresh response to differing aspects of English landscape.Lawrence had been bidden to Windsor in September 1789, to paint the queen and also Princess Amelia (1789; Royal Collection). Although the queen's portrait was not acquired by the king, Lawrence at twenty had received his first important royal patronage. Gainsborough was dead, and Lawrence was widely recognized as the successor to Reynolds, whose health and art were in decline. George III pressed the Royal Academy to elect him an associate in 1790, but it refused because of the regulation against election of associates aged under twenty-four. However, it elected him the following year. When Reynolds died in 1792, the king appointed him painter-in-ordinary. In 1794, at the earliest permitted age of twenty-five, he was elected a full academician.During the 1790s Lawrence seems to have believed that he could combine activity as a portrait painter with producing occasional history paintings. At the Royal Academy in 1791 he exhibited, as well as several portraits, a small history painting, Homer Reciting his Poems (1790; Tate collection), a composition commissioned by the antiquarian scholar and connoisseur Richard Payne Knight. The effect is of a pastoral landscape, attractive but hardly ambitious, nor particularly classical in mood. More interesting may have been the Shakespearian subject Prospero Raising the Storm (exh. RA, 1793), a large canvas he is said to have later utilized for the portrait of John Philip Kemble as Rolla (1800; Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, USA).In 1797 Lawrence exhibited his most ambitious attempt at a history picture, turning back for inspiration to Milton's Paradise Lost, the poem which had been a source for recitation and delineation by him from his boyhood. The huge canvas of Satan Summoning his Legions (1796-7; RA) was his final effort to create a grand historical composition. It was very unfavourably received, but Lawrence himself defiantly continued to esteem it. After seeing it again in 1811, he wrote despondently of experiencing a sense of 'the past dreadful waste of time and improvidence of my Life and Talent' (Layard, 84). Darkened though the painting now is, and extremely difficult to assess, it is by no means unimpressive, for all the old master echoes and its debt to the style of Fuseli.Lawrence's international reputation was recognized by a succession of honours from foreign academies of art, including those of Rome (1816), Florence (1820), Venice (1823), Denmark (1823), and New York (1818). From his status and official position flowed numerous obligations, many performed, it seems, more dutifully than eagerly, and as printed his annual addresses to the Royal Academy students can only be termed insipid. But he made a point of being accessible and helpful to younger, sometimes foreign, artists, and would thus be gratefully remembered by, for instance, Eugène Delacroix. On the death of John Julius Angerstein in 1823 he actively urged the retention of his collection in Britain, for the nation, and was appointed one of the superintending body (later trustees) when the government purchased the collection and the National Gallery was founded in 1824.Despite the pressures upon him, Lawrence's art preserved all its vitality, while gaining in empathy and depth. To the annual Royal Academy exhibitions he regularly managed to send some six or more new portraits, and the range of his sitters was matched by the range of his interpretation. With absolute assurance he captured the bright-eyed vivacity of the two very young Calmady girls (1823-4; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York) and the stony, quasi-judicial severity of an octogenarian in Lady Robert Manners (1825-6; National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh). Simplicity and directness characterize his Lady Blessington (c.1821; Wallace Collection, London). A quite unusually serious, Wordsworthian blending of sublime natural setting and reflective child gives resonance to the deservedly famous portrait Charles William Lambton, 'The red boy', (1824-5; priv. coll.).

Rory Gallagher's Magnatone Model 190 Professional guitar amplifier, circa 1959, 40 watts, fitted with a 12" speaker of Rory's choice; within a pink flight case stencilled with Rory Gallagher's name and the number S27Please note: The existing auto transformer that converted the amp to UK voltage is in an exposed position at the base of the cabinet (see photo) and so could not pass our safety test for the purpose of sale. It was therefore disconnected and a new mains lead has been fitted by a qualified technician directly to the original 110V US transformer. It will now be possible to test the amp at the auction room using an external step down transformer. The small auto transformer is still in place to preserve originality and it would be the new owner's decision as to what to do with that in the future. The PAT safety test has now passed. *Provenance - this was one of Rory Gallagher's studio amps. Rory favoured cranking small amps in the studio and he mentions The Magnatone in a 1978 Guitar Player magazine. The distinctive Rory Gallagher stencilled pink flight case appears on a publicity shot for his Fresh Evidence Album and on the rear of the album cover itself. The amplifier can also be seen on Rory Gallagher's website under the instrument archive section. The vendor purchased this amp from New King's Road Guitar Emporium in 2012 after Rory's family released some of his gear for sale. Strange Music, the name of their company, appears on the receipt. A copy of this receipt is included in the lot

2008 Bentley Continental GTC - Only two private owners, just 15,400 recorded miles, and in a wonderful and desirable colour combination. - The current American owner acquired the car in August 2010 from Jack Barclay for use while in England. - Rarely used during the current ownership and garage stored at their Belgravia property when not in use. - Maintained and recently serviced by Jack Barclay, and only being sold due to advancing age putting a stop to driving. This wonderfully coloured Bentley was sold new and first registered in July 2008 to the managing director of a loud speaker manufacturing company in Buckinghamshire. It appears from the service book that the supplying dealer was Bentley Pangbourne, in Berkshire. Shortly after the car's second birthday it was acquired by the vendor in August 2010 from the world-renowned Bentley distributor, Jack Barclay, in London. The mileage at the time of purchase was 12,800, and as the odometer currently records just 15,400 miles, it is clear the vendor has covered just 2,600 miles in his seven years of ownership. The reason for this minimal distance is due to the American vendor keeping the car garaged in a Central London Mews garage close to his home in Belgravia, London, for use on his occasional visits to London. At the age of 91, the vendor has decided to stop driving which has necessitated the sale of his much-loved car. The two private owners of this lovely example have had it meticulously maintained, the first owner using the supplying dealer, the second owner using Jack Barclay. There were six Bentley stamps in the service book when we had sight of it with another service and MOT being carried out in May 2017, again by Jack Barclay. In fact, only around seventy miles have been covered since July 2013. Unsurprisingly, the vendor describes the Dark Sapphire paintwork, Magnolia leather interior, engine, and transmission, as being in "excellent" condition. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)
