Signed by Beckford to the conclusion. With blind embossed paper seal affixed and red wax seal to the foot of the document. A document of good association. With age wear and light creasing. G Theobald Taffe (1708-1780) British Politician. Taffee had been described as 'an extraordinary adventurer' who once tried to offer three seats in two Cornish boroughs, Helston and Grampound, for £7,000, the fourth seat to be reserved for himself 'for his trouble in the management'. In the end the negotiations were broken off owing to Taaffe's insistence on receiving the money at once, instead of after the elections, and to his inability to furnish satisfactory security, his estates in Jamaica, worth about £3,000 a year, being vested for the payment of his debts in trustees, who allowed him £500 a year. William Beckford (1709 - 1770) British Politician, Lord Mayor of London, 1762 and 1769. Beckford's vast wealth came largely from his plantations in Jamaica and the large numbers of slaves working on these plantations.
