![* Gillray (James). To the Society for Improving the Breed [Fat Cattle] this Sketch of Tavistock Farm Yard is dedicated, H. Hu](https://cdn.globalauctionplatform.com/06960e46-dc7c-49b2-836c-b03600e595e8/1eb86a9f-ed4d-4a72-9660-b03701202a33/468x382.jpg)
* Gillray (James). To the Society for Improving the Breed [Fat Cattle] this Sketch of Tavistock Farm Yard is dedicated, H. Humphrey, Jany. 16th, 1802, etched caricature of the Duke of Bedford, contemporary hand-colouring, trimmed to the plate mark, slight creasing and marginal fraying, laid on later paper, 360 x 260 mm, together with A Great Man of the Turf - or - Sir Solomon in all his Glory, H. Humphrey, July 7th, 1803, etched caricature with aquatint, contemporary hand-colouring, slight surface abrasion, slight creasing and dust soiling, some overall toning, trimmed to the plate mark, laid on later paper, 345 x 245 mmQTY: (2)NOTE:BM Satires 9912 & 10164. The second item was first identified as The Duke of Bedford, but he had died the previous year and it is unlikely the Gillray would produce a portrait so long after a man's death. It is probably Mr. J. Johnson. A breeder of horses and livestock, who owned a horse called Sir Solomon and was a "Gentleman of large fortune in the North" and since there is no indication of satire, the print may well have been commissioned by the gentleman himself.

[Jocelyn, Percy, 1764-1843]. Disgraced Bishop of Clogher in the Church of Ireland. The Full, True, and Particular Account of the Public Meeting of Chimney Sweeps, Held in St. Giles, on Monday last, printed by C. Handy, 50 Brewer Street, Golden Square, and Sold at No. 1, Smith's Court, Great Windmill Street, Haymarket, [1822], printed satirical broadside in two columns with drop-head title and imprint details at foot, recounting the meeting with Mr Brush in the Chair, '"For the purpose of considering the best means of wiping off the foul imputation of their being in any way connected with the Right Reverend Father in God, Percy Jocelyn, or the Bishop of Clogher, or of any other Bishops; and of disregarding the cognomen of Clergymen, by which they had so long suffered themselves to be called",the resolutions adopted being, '1.- That the United Company of Sweeps never had any connection with those called Bishops or Clergymen. 2.- That they believe the name of Clergymen has been given them by some malicious and ill-disposed persons, they never having right to that name. 3.- That they will prosecute any person who shall push any of their Members against the Soldiers. And 4th.- That, to prove their innocence, they agree never to sweep the chimney of any Bishop, even should it be fired by a Soldier. The Meeting then broke up, satisfied of having done a public duty, and thus cleared their wounded honour', one page, minor spots and marks, 260 x 185 mmQTY: (1)NOTE:A very rare broadside, no other copies traced. It concerns the huge scandal surrounding Bishop Jocelyn who, on 19 July 1822, was caught in a compromising position with a 22-year-old Grenadier Guardsman, John Moverley, in the back room of The White Lion public house, St Albans Place, off The Haymarket in Westminster. Jocelyn and Moverley were released on bail, provided by the third earl of Roden and others. Jocelyn broke bail and eventually moved to Scotland where he worked as a butler under the assumed name of Thomas Wilson. He was declared deposed in his absence by the Metropolitan Court of Armagh in October 1822 for 'the crimes of immorality, incontinence, sodomitical practices, habits, and propensities, and neglect of his spiritual, judicial, and ministerial duties'.An earlier scandal in 1811 which saw the conviction of James Byrne who had accused Jocelyn of 'taking indecent familiarities' with him resulted in Byrne's sentencing and flogging when sued by Jocelyn. In 1822 this conviction was recognised as a miscarriage of justice and Byrne was released. Bishop Jocelyn was the most senior British or Irish churchman to be involved in a public homosexual scandal in the nineteenth century and it became a subject of satire and popular ribaldry, resulting in satirical cartoons, pamphlets and limericks. An unsurprisingly scarce item, compounded no doubt by the sexual euphemism of the term 'chimney sweep'.The Clogher scandal has been covered in more recent publications about homosexuality including Matthew Parris, The Great Unfrocked: Two Thousand Years of Church Scandal, (London: Robson Books, 1998).

Whether these notes were purely for training purposes, or for actual deployment isn't clear. But it would be of great fascination to an historian or collector of the period.
