He died on 28 Dec 1815 in Clapham, Surrey, aged 60.Little is known about Statute 1 c.22 passed by James I in 1603. The Act, seen by many as restrictive and oppressive, appears to have caused friction between different groups working within the leather trade particularly curriers, shoemakers and tanners. It dealt with issues such as the buying and processing of oak bark (extensively used in the tanning process) and of rough hides and calf skins, and the cutting of leather skins. The Act was intended to protect the interests of certain groups by defining which arms of the leather trade could do what. However in practice it seems that it came in time to prevent efficiency and freedom in the trade as a whole. It is not clear what role Samuel Beddome played in achieving the repeal of this Act in 1808.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
