Allen Thornton Shuttleworth, the son of Digby Edward Shuttleworth, Indigo Planter, was born in the Meerpore district of Pubna on 21 October 1839. He was educated under Mr J. Whitely at Woolwich Common and was nominated for the post of Captain’s Clerk in the Indian Navy by Captain John Shepherd on the recommendation of his uncle. Shuttleworth was admitted into the Indian Navy on 12 December 1855, and having taken the oath ‘to be true and faithful to the said Company, and faithfully and truly execute and discharge the trust reposed in me, to the utmost of my skill and power. So Help me God’, he left Gravesend on the Cairngorm on the 24th. In a letter dated ‘31 December off the Isle of Wight’, the captain of the Cairngorm reported that they had commenced their voyage to Bombay. Shuttleworth landed after a four month voyage on 21 April 1856, and was appointed Captain’s Clerk on the 8-gun H.E.I. Company’s Steam Frigate Ferooz. He was then one of twenty-four Captain’s Clerks in the Service and was paid Rs. 50 per month, which if he attained the rank of Captain in 30 to 35 years time could be expected to rise to rise to Rs. 600-800 per month. During the build up to war with Persia in 1856, Commander Rennie of the Ferooz was ordered to sail to Bushire with despatches for the Political Resident. The Ferooz left on 19 September 1856, but on reaching the Persian coast, Commander Rennie was advised to abandon his mission on account of ‘the excited state of the population’. Despite the warning, Rennie resolved to deliver his despatches on shore. C. R. Low, the author of the History of the Indian Navy, who was then a shipmate and contemporary of Shuttleworth’s, later recalled, ‘We remember, being then a Midshipman on board the Ferooz, how this judicious, as well as gallant, officer [Commander Rennie], who had ‘an eye to business’ whenever any fighting was on the tapis, took advantage of this last opportunity of reconnoitring Bushire, to take careful soundings both in going ashore and returning, to be of use in eventualities.’ Having returned to Bombay the Ferooz sailed again for Bushire in late November, this time towing two transports containing men of Major-General Stalker’s division. In the absence of any response to the British ultimatum demanding the Persian withdrawal from Herat, war was declared. The Union flag was hoisted at Kharrack for the first time in sixteen years and a Royal salute fired from the guns of the Ferooz. Offensive operations began in November with the capture of Bushire. Troops were landed at Hallilah Bay under covering fire from eight gun boats, and proceeded to storm fort of Reshire. That night Commander Rennie sent a boat with muffled oars to buoy a fourteen-foot channel off the batteries which next day enabled the Ferooz to take up a position 300 yards closer in shore than the other vessels. In the ensuing action the Ferooz was engaged in a duel with the Persian shore batteries until they were silenced and a breach effected in Bushire’s walls, whereupon the enemy flagstaff was hauled down and the garrison surrendered. The Ferooz then returned to Bombay while Lieutenant-General Sir James Outram led the expeditionary force in land and defeated the Persians at the battle of Khoosh-Ab. Again returning to the Persian Gulf, the Ferooz was next involved in silencing the heavily fortified position at Mohammerah, on the junction of the Karoon and Shatt-ul-Arab, where a Persian Army, thirteen thousand strong, had assembled under the Shahzada. Batteries had been erected of solid earth, twenty feet thick, eighteen feet high, armed with heavy ordnance placed to sweep the entire river at the junction of the Karoon with the Shatt-ul-Arab. An attempt to place a mortar battery on an island failed when the island turned out to be a swamp, but the ingenious Commander Rennie, in defiance of the engineers who said the first shot would smash it, constructed a raft of casks and studding-sail booms, which, armed with two 8-inch and two 5-inch mortars manned by the Bombay Artillery, was towed into position opposite the forts. The ships of war were given the first task of silencing the batteries, which they accomplished at point blank range under heavy fire, then landed parties of seamen to storm the southern and northern forts. To quote General Havelock ‘the gentlemen in blue had it all to themselves, and left us naught to do’. The British loss was only ten killed and thirty wounded, owing largely to Rennie’s ‘happy thought’ of placing trusses in the sides of the Ferooz, from which vast numbers of bullets were shaken out. The bold step of closing at point blank range also took them under the elevation of the Persian guns. Shuttleworth was not actively engaged in the Mutiny, but served in supporting naval operations in the 1800-ton H.E.I.C. Steam Frigate Assaye as Assistant Paymaster. Promoted Paymaster and transferred to the 300-ton Steam-gun boat Clyde in which he served the last three years of his career in the Indian Navy, Shuttleworth next took part in operations against the piratical Waghurs, who, having seized the island fort of Beyt and the fort of Dwarka, were levying large imposts from the pilgrims who came to worship at the great temple dedicated to Krishna. An expedition was mounted including H.M’s 28th Foot, 6th N.I. and a Marine Battalion, accompanied by the Ferooz, Zenobia, Berenice, Victoria, Clyde, Constance and the Lady Falkland. On 5 and 6 October, the fort at Beyt, with earthwork walls 18-40 feet thick and 30-40 feet high, and lofty, massive towers with guns, was under continual bombardment from the naval ships. Troops were landed in an attempt to storm the fort, with boats’ crews and field pieces in support, but failed in the face of heavy fire from the defenders. The Waghurs, however, evacuated the fort soon after dark and it was occupied the next day. To launch the attack on Dwarka, the force then moved to Roopon Bunder, two miles up the coast to the only place where the surf permitted a landing. The beach, however, was covered by the guns of an imposing fort. On the 19th, the Clyde, towing a naval landing party in cutters from the Ferooz, Zenobia and Berenice, opened a bombardment, and successfully put the sailors ashore. Much to the surprise of the Colonel commanding the field force,...

Eardley Norton was thought to have been born into a farming family from Rigsby, Lincolnshire, however he was apprenticed as a clockmaker 25 May 1743 to Robert Dawson of Alford. Latterly he moved to London where he is listed as working at 49 St. John's Street, Clerkenwell between 1760 and 1794. He was member of the Clockmakers' Company being freed in 1770 and remained a member until his death in 1792. He applied for a patent for a new type of striking mechanism for both clocks and watches on 31 August 1771. Norton enjoyed Royal patronage being perhaps best known for his silver mounted four-dial astronomical clock (made in collaboration with James Ferguson F.R.S.) commissioned by George III for Buckingham House (later Palace) which still remains in the Royal Collection (RCIN 30432). He married Mary Swinnerton of Oswestry and later retired to Stonegrove House (no longer existing), Little Stanmore, Middlesex, in the parish of Whitchurch. On his death, his business was taken over by the partnership of Gravell and Tolkien. He is buried at St. Lawrence's church in Little Stanmore. Condition Report: Movement appears complete and essentially in sound original just about working order, however the escapement beats erratically and a little fast suggesting that the balance spring is either detached or missing. The repeat work will operate but is lazy in its action and struggles to complete the cycle and the hands are currently out-of-sync. The mechanism is a little dirty/dry indicating that a gentle clean/service is required however the original gilding is sound with minimal wear or scuffs/scratches. The dial is loose and has a tiny edges chip above the XI and near the IIII numerals otherwise visible faults are very much limited to slight surface scratching; hands are in good original condition. The inner case has some noticeable wear/rubbing/indenting around the waist (where it has rubbed against the inner collar of the outer case). The centre of the rear has had replacement threaded insert for mounting the bell fitted at some point. There is also a small hole (possibly for a thumb piece?) to the waist at 6 o'clock and a small notch within the bezel at 8 o'clock which appears original/intentional but purpose is unknown. The outer case has some slight denting and overall light wear otherwise is in good original condition.There is no winding key included. Condition Report Disclaimer

Y A FINE WILLIAM AND MARY EBONY TABLE CLOCK WITH SILENT PULL-QUARTER REPEAT ON TWO BELLSSAMUEL WATSON, COVENTRY OR LONDON, CIRCA 1690The seven finned pillar single fusee movement with verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum and 'silent' pull-quarter repeat on a graduated pair of bells, the backplate with external horizontal hour hammer spring towards the upper margin and engraved with symmetrical scrolling foliage incorporating tulip blooms around a central reserve signed Samuel Watson, the 6.125 inch square brass dial with vacant calendar aperture to the matted centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with squat fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes within the outer minute track, with scroll pierced steel hands and winged cherub cast spandrel mounts to angles, the ebony veneered case with eagle head and dolphin cast hinged brass carrying handle to the domed caddy superstructure over Knibb-style ogee cornice mouldings and rectangular glazed front door, the sides with brass repousse scroll decorated lozenge sound frets over rectangular windows and the rear with glazed door set within the frame of the case, on conforming ogee moulded shallow skirt base with brass disc feet.29cm (11.5ins) high with handle down, 22cm (8.75ins) wide, 15cm (6ins) deep. Samuel Watson was an important clockmaker and mathematician who is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as initially working in Coventry from around 1680 where he was Sheriff in 1686 before moving to Long Acre ('next door to the Bagnio in the Parish'), London, in around 1691; he was admitted to the Clockmakers' Company as a free Brother in 1692. He was supposedly 'Mathematician ordinary' to Charles II for whom he made an astronomical clock in 1682 followed by another clock which he did not finish until after the King's death. This clock was eventually sold to Queen Mary on its completion in 1690 and is preserved at Windsor Castle albeit in a later case. He also made two further complex astronomical clocks for Isaac Newton and invented five minute repeating for watches. He worked with the Lichfield based physician, John Floyer, in developing a medical 'pulse watch' which was subsequently advertised in 1707. Latterly, in November 1712, Watson approached the Clockmaker's Company with an instrument to 'discover the houre of the day at sea and several other useful mathematical matters' but to no avail. The current lot is designed to sound the hours and quarters on two bells only on demand. This form of quarter repeat mechanism is thought to have been devised for timepieces destined for night-time use in the bedroom; whilst striking clocks with quarter repeat facility were generally intended to be utilised downstairs during the day and upstairs at night. As a consequence silent-pull quarter repeating timepieces are rarer as the original owner would have to be very wealthy indeed to afford a timepiece reserved exclusively for use in the bed chamber. The design of the repeat mechanism used in the current lot is based to the system devised by Joseph Knibb (as described and illustrated in Allix, Charles and Harvey, Laurence HOBSON'S CHOICE pages 36-7) with the principal differences being the shape and positioning of the pivoted gear-toothed sector, and the use of cocked pivots and distinctive external horizontal springs for each of the bell hammers. These details, however, are almost identical to those on a clock by Henry Jones (ex, Vehmeyer Collection) illustrated in Dzik, Sunny BENEATH THE DIAL, English Clock Pull Repeat Striking 1675-1725 page 71. Indeed the only discernible difference between the Henry Jones timepiece and the current lot is a the provision of a second brass lever acting as a spacer between the gear toothed sector and the hour snail. In addition to the near-identical repeat system the present clock also shares other strong similarities with the movement Vehmeyer Henry Jones such as the chapter ring (in particular the squat fleur-de-lys half-hour markers) and the design of the backplate engraving - which can also be very closely compared to two backplates for clocks by Joseph Knibb illustrated in Dzik, Sunny ENGRAVING ON ENLISH TABLE CLOCKS, Art on a Canvas of Brass 1660-1800 page 134, Figure 8.8. The case also shares the same mouldings, design/format of the side apertures, and overall proportions of the Vehmeyer Jones although the present lot does not have a repousse caddy. Another very similar silent-pull repeating timepiece by Henry Jones, sharing almost all of the above details, was sold in these rooms on 17th May 2015; this further example is notable in that it also had the very generous allocation of seven movement pillars as per the present clock.When all of the above observations are considered, it would be reasonable to suggest that the present timepiece could well have been made in the workshop of Henry Jones for retail by Samuel Watson. This possibility is perhaps further reinforced by the lack of place name within the signature which may suggest that the clock was supplied to Watson whilst he was still working in Coventry. If this was the case then the present lot would pre-date 1691, which is when Watson is believed to have moved to London. As a final note it is interesting to compare the present timepiece with Samuel Watson's slightly later clocks of the same specification. One such example is illustrated and described by Sunny Dzik in BENEATH THE DIAL... pages 99-102. This timepiece incorporates repeat work of near identical design as that used on the present clock but with the exception of the external horizontal hammer springs being dispensed in favour of the more standard arrangement comprising springs attached to the insides of the plates. As noted by Sunny Dzik this slightly later clock also belongs to a small series of timepieces that originally had sweep seconds hand revolving once every two minutes. The production of these centre-seconds timepieces may have been connected to Watson's work with the physician John Floyer, who was the first to apply timing of the heart rate as an important diagnostic indicator. The strong similarities between these later timepieces and the current lot would suggest that Samuel Watson was heavily influenced by the Henry Jones at the height of his career.
