British Provincial, Berkshire, Reading, Reading Bank, Promise to pay to Mr Newman Ten Pounds, 1 January 1800, no. 6695, for Sir Charles Marsh and Henry Deane Esq, signed by Charles Marsh (Outing 1768A; Grant 2370). Hole on left side and many other smaller holes and splits, otherwise good to very good The Berkshire & Reading Bank, a partnership between Sir Charles Marsh (1735-1805), Henry Deane (1743-99) and Eyre Evans Crowe ( 1804), opened on 1 September 1788. Marsh was a former army officer who had served in the 84th Foot under Sir Eyre Coote in India and had been knighted for his services in raising a regiment of volunteers in the county. Henry Deane was the son of a partner in the town’s pre-eminent Castle Brewery and was thrice mayor between 1782 and 1794; Crowe, a cousin of Eyre Coote who had also served in the 84th, was a dealer and chapman who lived at Sindlesham Lodge. Crowe became bankrupt in 1798 and resigned from the bank, while, on the death of Henry Deane, his son, Henry Boyle Dean, allowed his father’s capital to remain in the bank. By 1803 the bank’s losses, which had been building up over the years, began to soar and the new management put in place after the death of Marsh in 1805 was unable to halt the problem. The Napoleonic wars and the concurrent boost to business stayed the situation but a number of outside factors during 1814, including a disastrous corn harvest, meant that Reading’s trade was so depressed that creditors were forced to call in their loans. The situation was not helped when a coach returning from London with £6,000-worth of the bank’s notes on 1 December 1814 was hijacked and about £700-worth were exchanged before payment could be stopped. On 5 January 1815 the bank’s doors in Friar street were closed for the last time. Sold with a copy of ÔThe Earliest Reading Bank: Marsh, Deane & Co, 1788-1815’ by T.A.B. Corley (Berkshire Archaeological Journal, vol. 66, pp.121-8)

A chrome plated keyless wind Leonidas military pocket watch circa 1940, the cream dial with black Arabic numerals, quarterly numerals being luminous, outer minute track and subsidiary seconds dial positioned at six o` clock, plain case numbered to reverse G.S.T.P N 6867 beneath British broad arrow, with Swiss lever escapement. Case diameter 52mm. Together with Similar example. Pocket watches were hurriedly purchased by the procurement office from numerous Swiss makers and from commercial retailers, in anticipation of the shortages that were likely to follow. Most of these pocket watches were regarded as "General Service" timepieces and classified as "Temporary Pattern". While more appropriate watches were not yet available to the Army in sufficient numbers these "GSTP" pocket watches had to suffice, becoming the workhorses of the Army`s horological instruments. "General Service" watches were exactly that. They fulfilled the role of the contemporary timekeeper for routine duties such as those performed, for example, by radio operators and drivers. Each Swiss-produced GSTP watch had a 15 jewel movement, luminous black or white dial and subsidiary seconds dial. Cases were normally provided with snap backs, although some do have screw backs. This particular Leonidas pocket watch is a typical example of the standard British Army GSTP. For reference please see Weselowski, Military Timepieces, page 41. Leonidas pocket watch, keyless wind, movement is currently functioning, dial is heavily marked, hands are tarnished, luminescent on Arabic numerals is wearing away in places, glass is scratched with some debris underneath, case is scratched and scuffed as a result of general wear. Similar model, movement is not functioning, dial and hands are heavily tarnished, luminescent on Arabic numerals is heavily worn, glass is scratched, case is scratched and scuffed, size and style of engraving on case back is slightly different from the other pocket watch in this lot. Together with associated pouches. Fellows & Sons do not guarantee the working order or accuracy of any watches sold.

* James II. The Severall Debates of the House of Commons Pro et Contra. Relating to the Establishment of the Militia, Disbanding the New Raised Forces and Raising a Supply for his Majestie. Beginning the Ninth Day of November 1685 and Ending the Twentieth of the same Month. Being the day of the Prorogacon of the Parliament, pp.[2],70, paper manuscript written in a neat hand, general title & title to following leaf neatly ruled in red, borders ruled in red throughout, later marbled paper strip to spine edge, disbound 4to. James II, a Roman Catholic, became King at the death of his elder brother Charles II on 6 February 1685. The Monmouth Rebellion of 1685, also known as the Pitchfork Rebellion, was an attempt to overthrow James II by 1st Duke of Monmouth, an illegitimate son of Charles II, who claimed to be rightful heir to the throne. The rebellion ended with the defeat of Monmouth’s forces at the Battle of Sedgemoor on 6 July 1685. Monmouth was executed for treason on 15 July, and many of his supporters were executed or transported in the ÒBloody AssizesÓ of Judge Jeffreys. James II took advantage of the suppression of the rebellion to consolidate his power. He asked Parliament to repeal the Test Act and the Habeas Corpus Act, and used his dispensing power to appoint Catholics to senior posts, and raised the strength of the standing army. Parliament opposed many of these moves, and on 20 November 1685 James dismissed it. The manuscript details the debates in Parliament between 9th to 20th November 1685 and includes reference to debating individuals such as the Earl of Middleton, Sir Hugh Cholmeley, Mr. Seymour, Sir Richard Temple, Mr Thomas Howard, Lord Preston, Lord Ranelaigh, Sir Edward Jennings, Lord Castleton, Col. Aston, Mr. Pepys & Sir Thomas Clergis etc. The manuscript is written on paper probably by Abraham Janssen, bearing a coat of arms watermark with motto “Dieu et Mon Droit”. Examples of which have been found on manuscript paper used in Samuel Pepys” library of c.1690. See Heawood (Edward), Monumenta Chartae Papyraceae, Watermarks, pub. 1950, pl.77 no.453. (1)
