Cromwell defeated Charles II at the Battle of Worcester on 3rd September 1651, and Charles fled to mainland Europe. Charles spent the next nine years in exile in France, the Dutch Republic and the Spanish Netherlands. The political crisis that followed Cromwell's death in 1658 resulted in the restoration of the monarchy, and Charles was invited to return to Britain. On 29th May 1660, his 30th birthday, he was received in London to public acclaim.See Mitchell, David M. 'Silversmiths in Elizabethan and Stuart London' Woodbridge 2017, p. 215ff for this maker's mark, a biography and full attribution to Anthony Ficketts.The blazon: argent, a chevron gules between three maunches azure.

Lot 10

A George III Irish silver oval salver, maker's mark JL, Dublin last quarter 18th century, with a beaded, pierced and engraved rim, engraved with a floral swag band, a crest and a shield within swags and pendants, on four anthemion bracket feet, 24.5cm (9 1/2in) long, 330g (10.6 oz) The maker's maker attribution is uncertain and could be John Laughlin, Junior; John Lloyd, Senior or John Locker. The arms belong to Richard O'FARRELL Esqr. (1729-1790), who in 1751 married the heiress Letitia O'MORE only surviving daughter of James O'MORE (died 1779) of Balyna Co. Kildare and Mary nee MADDEN. After their marriage the family adopted the family name MORE-O'FARRELL.One of the issues in identification is that the arms of Richard O'FARRELL use the crest of the O'MORE family in preference to their own crest, which is blazoned: issuant from ducal coronet a greyhound courant. The item may as a result may be intended for use by Mary O'FARRELL nee O'MORE. Her father James O'MORE was the last male descendant of the family to use the O'MO(O)RE name. The O'MORE family are the last descendants of the Lord Leix. They are an ancient family of Ireland and substantial landowners, notably descendants of the family as MORE-O'FARRELL held the Balyna estate until 1960. The family were identified as being associated with the 1641 Irish Rebellion. The O'FARRELL or O'FERRALL family are also an ancient family of Ireland who arrived from Spain during the 4th century BC.Condition Report: Maker's mark lightly rubbed, rest are clearWobblesNo splits to the borderEngraving is lightly rubbedOne foot repairedLight scratches and wear commensurate with age and useCondition Report Disclaimer

After the rising of the 17th native infantry on 3 June 1857, he left Azimghur for Ghazipur. But some planters and clerks having been left behind, Venables and another planter, named M. P. Dunn, determined to rescue them. No help was afforded them by the commissioner of the division, and when they set out on the 16th they had only a few native mounted constables, given them by A. Ross, the magistrate at Ghazipur. To these, however, Venables was able to add some of the tenants on his own estates at Duri Ghat and a few refugees from surrounding villages. Having obtained the assistance from within the town of Ali Bakh, a native collector, Venables compelled the 13th irregular cavalry to abandon Azimghur and reoccupied it. On 10 July he took the offensive against the sepoys with seventy-five mounted constables, an old gun, and a loyal native regiment. He stormed the police-station and released his friends. When, however, on the 16th he attacked the rajputs of the Palwar clan at Koilsa, he was deserted by his sepoys and had to re-enter Azimghur. Two days later reinforcements reached him, but most of them he sent to Ghazipur. On the 20th he marched out again with the rest, and, though compelled to retire before superior forces, the retreat, in which Venables himself led the cavalry, was so masterly that the rebels very soon retired from before Azimghur. But on 29 July, under orders from Commissioner Tucker, it was once more evacuated, Venables retiring a second time to Ghazipur. But Azimghur having been in August occupied by the Nepalese allies, Venables again took part in an advance on it. On 19 Sept., when the rebels were surprised at Mandori, he, though only a volunteer, commanded the cavalry, was first up to the first gun taken, and killed three men with his own ​hand. Five hundred rupees were now offered by the sepoys for his head. Venables next rode as a volunteer with General Sir Thomas Harte Franks [q. v.] in his march from Eastern Oudh to Lucknow, and rendered splendid services. In the early spring of 1858 he had retired to Allahabad in broken health and spirits, and was looking forward to a return to England, when Lord Canning persuaded him to again volunteer his services at Azimghur. His judgment and local knowledge were of great value to Lord Mark Kerr and Sir E. Lugard. With the former Venables re-entered Azimghur on 6 April. While engaged in the pursuit of Koor Singh after his defeat by Lugard on the 15th, he was mortally wounded, and he died four days later, on 19 April. When, in the following June, the Calcutta chamber of commerce met to consider the question of a memorial to Venables, Lord Canning, the governor-general, wrote commending his intrepidity, energy, and calm temper, and his 'thoroughly just appreciation of the people and circumstances with which he had to deal.'Venables, his two elder brothers being dead, had inherited from his father in 1856 the family estates near Oswestry in Shropshire. He married, in 1851, Eliza Power, daughter of R. H. Kinchant, esq., of Park Hall, Oswestry, but left no issue. His younger brother became heir to the property. Condition Report: Venables (1818-1858) was one of the heroes of the Indian mutiny. He early went to India as an indigo planter, and at the time of the outbreak of the mutiny was settled near Azimghur in the North-West Provinces.
