Sheriffs' & Recorder's Fund SHERIFFS’ & RECORDER’S FUND Annual Report 2018-2019 The Fund was established by the Sheriffs of the City of London in 1808 The Sheriffs’ & Recorder’s Fund In 1808 the two Sheriffs of the City of London set up a fund to help prisoners living in appalling conditions in Newgate, and their families. In 1931 the Fund merged with the fund set up by the Recorder to assist offenders released on probation. The Sheriffs’ & Recorder’s Fund still plays a vital part in preventing re-offending. In prison today: • The prison population has risen by 77% in the last 30 years. England & Wales has the highest imprisonment rate in Western Europe. • Assault rates among children in custody average 228 assaults a month. • 43% of prisons received a negative rating from inspectors in 2017-18 for purposeful activity work. In many prisons work remains mundane, repetitive and rarely linked to resettlement objectives. • 54% of those entering prison were assessed as having literacy skills expected of an 11-year-old (general population: 15%). • The number of women in prison has doubled since 1993. On release: • On release prisoners receive £46 – a sum unchanged since 1997 (with inflation, the equivalent today is £82.34). • 50% of respondents to a 2016 YouGov survey said they would not consider employing an offender or ex-offender • 48% of adults are reconvicted within one year of release (64% of those serving sentences of less than 12 months). Working in an office in the Old Bailey provided by the Corporation of London, the Fund gives small grants to ex-prisoners and their families in Greater London to buy essentials: clothes for a job interview, a training course, tools of trade, household equipment. The Fund also gives large grants to prison-based charitable schemes which help to rehabilitate ex-prisoners through training and mentoring. In 2018-19 the Fund made: • 1,320 grants compared to 1,575 in 2017-18; • grants amounting to £317,275 compared to £391,229 in the previous year. The decrease in the number of individual grants is due to the closure of one of our principal sources of applications. In addition, all legacy money has now been spent. 1 EXTRACT FROM THE WILL MRS HELEN CHARLOTTE NORRIS Helen Charlotte Norris, wife of John Nelly Norris, died on January 10th 1950. In her will she made a bequest of the residue of her estate to create a fund in memory of her husband. Mrs. Norris had heard of the Recorder’s Fund (amalgamated with the Sheriffs’ Fund) through a letter written to a London newspaper by an ex- convict, to whom the Fund had given assistance, with good results. The residue of her estate was approximately £12,000. The income was given in perpetuity to the Recorder’s Fund, together with a request by Mrs. Norris that the following paragraph from her will be always read out at the Sheriffs’ and Recorder’s Fund’s Annual General Meeting: 5. I give all the rest of my property of every kind to the Public Trustee upon trust for sale to perpetuate the memory of my husband John Edward Norris who did so much for others. I wish to create a trust fund to be called The John Nelly Norris Fund to help rehabilitate and to restore the self respect of those coming under the notice of the probation offices at the Central Criminal Court, London EC, to help them to such an honest and better life, to restore their self respect, to help them place their trust in God and to follow the teachings of Christ, for no good can come otherwise. I would like those handling these my wishes to give a chance to those who have strayed to think on these things. I wish therefore everything to which I am possessed at my death to be sold by public auction to the highest bidder to create this Trust and the net proceeds of such sale to be invested to constitute a fund to be called The John Nelly Norris Fund and to pay the resulting income therefrom in perpetuity to The Recorder’s Fund at the Central Criminal Court London for the furtherance of the object of that Fund. It is my wish that paragraph 5 be read at each annual meeting of The Recorder’s Fund, a prayer for my husband and self, I beseech you. 2 The Sheriffs’ and Recorder’s Fund ANNUAL REPORT 2018-2019 Contents Page No. Information about the Fund 1 Extract from Will 2 Trustees, Honorary Officers, Patrons, Advisory Committee, etc 4 Grants 5 Casework Grants 6 Courses for which grants were given 6 Livery Companies 7 Sponsors 8 200 Club Members 9 An Individual Grant and A Special Grant 10 Donations from Charitable Trusts, Individuals and Organisations 11 Life Governors 12 Presidents’ Report 13 Report of the Trustees 14 Report of the Honorary Treasurer 15 Independent Examiner’s Statement 16 Summarised Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2019 16 Photographs from fundraising events 17-20 Summarised Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2019 21-24 Rules of the Sheriffs’ & Recorder’s Fund 25-29 The Founders of the Fund 30 Donors to the Fund 31 Ways to Help 32-36 3 The Sheriffs’ and Recorder’s Fund Chairman and Trustee: Lady Brewer, OBE Deputy Chairmen and Trustees: Mr. David Biddle Mr. James Harman Honorary Treasurer and Trustee: Mr. Christopher Thomas Honorary Solicitor and Trustee: Mr. Alastair Collett Trustee: Mrs. Penrose Halson Auditors: JCA Chartered Accountants Honorary Life President: Mrs. Richard Saunders Presidents: Alderman & Sheriff Vincent Keaveny & Sheriff The Hon Elizabeth Green Vice President: The Recorder of London HHJ Nicholas Hilliard QC Patrons: Rev Jonathan Aitken The Rt.

  • DATES of TRIALS Until October 1775, and Again from December 1816
    DATES OF TRIALS Until October 1775, and again from December 1816, the printed Proceedings provide both the start and the end dates of each sessions. Until the 1750s, both the Gentleman’s and (especially) the London Magazine scrupulously noted the end dates of sessions, dates of subsequent Recorder’s Reports, and days of execution. From December 1775 to October 1816, I have derived the end dates of each sessions from newspaper accounts of the trials. Trials at the Old Bailey usually began on a Wednesday. And, of course, no trials were held on Sundays. ***** NAMES & ALIASES I have silently corrected obvious misspellings in the Proceedings (as will be apparent to users who hyper-link through to the trial account at the OBPO), particularly where those misspellings are confirmed in supporting documents. I have also regularized spellings where there may be inconsistencies at different appearances points in the OBPO. In instances where I have made a more radical change in the convict’s name, I have provided a documentary reference to justify the more marked discrepancy between the name used here and that which appears in the Proceedings. ***** AGE The printed Proceedings almost invariably provide the age of each Old Bailey convict from December 1790 onwards. From 1791 onwards, the Home Office’s “Criminal Registers” for London and Middlesex (HO 26) do so as well. However, no volumes in this series exist for 1799 and 1800, and those for 1828-33 inclusive (HO 26/35-39) omit the ages of the convicts. I have not comprehensively compared the ages reported in HO 26 with those given in the Proceedings, and it is not impossible that there are discrepancies between the two.

  • The Old Bailey and the Recorder of London: a Brief History
    From our Patron, Simon Callow Last year I received the exceptional honour of the Freedom of the City of London. Since boyhood I have been haunted by the City, its history, its imagery, its traditions. One of the most vital of those traditions is the City's association with music. Since at least 1350, The Worshipful Company of Musicians has proudly celebrated the noble art. I vividly remember a City of London Festival when I was a youth, in which The Yeoman of the Guards was performed with full son et lumière effects at the Tower of London, and Sir William Walton was specially commissioned to write a splendid piece for the City – A Song for the Lord Mayor's Table. Since then the Barbican Concert Hall has opened, and the London Symphony Orchestra has become resident orchestra. Music is everywhere in the City, as it should be. So when last year's Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, Roger and Clare Gifford, asked me become a Patron of their new charity, the City Music Foundation, I said yes straight away - not only because of the ancient association of the City with music, but because it looks so keenly to the future. Its raison d'être is to help young musicians at that critical difficult early point in their careers, right at the beginning, after their training, when they attempt to launch themselves into the world. The Foundation nurtures, encourages, and supports them at a vulnerable moment in their lives. I know very well what that feels like - young actors face exactly the same problems; sometimes really gifted, exceptional artists fall by the wayside.

  • Implications of Abrogating the Role of the Aldermen As Justices of the Peace
    Committee: Date: 2 December 2016 Courts Sub (Policy and Resources) Committee Subject: Public The City of London and the Magistracy Report of: For Information Remembrancer Report Author: Paul Double Introductory Note 1. The paper annexed responds to a request that a report on the constitutional background to the City‘s relationship with the Magistracy be submitted to this subcommittee. This background is primarily referable to the Aldermen although non Aldermanic magistrates are now in the main responsible for summary justice in the City‘s Magistrates‘ Courts. Experience with the botched exercise of reforming the office of Lord Chancellor demonstrated (if demonstration were needed) that making changes to a constitutional settlement of centuries standing without a detailed analysis of the landscape is likely to be a cause of difficulty. That is not to say, of course, that change should not be entertained; as is well known, the City has only survived by a process of canny evolution and its evolving relationship with the administration of justice is a good example of this process at work. 2. For completeness the paper includes reference to the significant change to the position of Aldermen as magistrates introduced by the Access to Justice Act 1999, and the subsequent Act of Common Council by which the mandatory linkage to the magistracy was ended. It does not, however, deal with the aspect of that Act which related to the position of Lord Mayor as Chief Magistrate. The 1999 Act broke the link between the office of Chief Magistrate and Bench Chairman in the City, a link which had been mistakenly introduced by the Justices of the Peace Act 1968.

  • Judicial Encounters with Quakers 1660 1688*
    Judicial Encounters with Quakers 1660 1688* URING the reigns of Charles II and James II many Quakers were subjected to the rigours of the penal D laws against dissenters and Catholics. As a result, they often looked to the members of the common law judiciary for redress. Unfortunately the "twelve men in scarlet" who manned the courts of King's Bench, Common Pleas and Exchequer were not considered by contemporary observers to be independent arbiters of the law, but rather, were seen as civil servants of the Crown, "stewards of royal power charged with implementing the royal will".2 They had indeed been long utilized by the Crown for political and administrative, as well as legal purposes, and had been discredited by their decisions favouring the royal prerogative in the last years of Charles I's "personal" rule.3 Likewise, by 1688 they had again, for the same reason, found themselves discredited in the eyes of the victorious opposition.4 Although Whig accusations of judicial subservience to the Stuart kings appear influenced far more by partisan politics than by legal appreciation^ the judges throughout most of the reigns of Charles II and James II did hold their patents "during the king's pleasure" and dismissals 1 In this article quotations from manuscripts have been modernized in spelling, punctuation and capitalization. Old Style dating has been retained. The term "dissenter" means one who attended a religious conventicle as denned by the Conventicle Act (16 Car. II, 0.4). > J. S.

It examines a variety of primary sources documenting the laws, punishments, and regulations concerning sexual commerce and reaches conclusions about the marginalization of prostitutes and the diverging systems of prostitution control implemented in the City of London and the Bishop of Winchester’s manor in Southwark. First, women, especially prostitutes, were marginalized in medieval English society. The prostitutes' inability to play an active role in either the secular or religious life of English communities cemented their position as outsiders.
