It was the only part of the old college to be preserved after the redevelopment of the island site in 1670-1700, and the principal features of the building are recognisably the same as they were at the time of demolition in the 1960s. The court on the east side of the building, known for a time as Gostlin Court, and later as Walnut-tree Court, is shown as an open yard contiguous with the back garden of the Bull Inn. It was the gift of the Bull (and its long garden) in 1626 which enabled the College to erect the new range in 1630, the money being raised by Dr Sibbes from a circle of acquaintances in Gray's Inn, where he was Preacher. The only feature of the Court as shown by the engraver is a pump in the north-west corner. To the immediate north of the 1630 building is a garret with a bay window over the entrance to Nutt and Plott's Lane (later King's Lane). At the time the engraving was made, the Chapel had not yet been built. J.H.B.

Leslie Jacobs, now 85, was verger at Holy Trinity Church, THANK Fareham, for 60 years. He got to know each bishop from their visits to his church and the fact that they parked in his church car park. And he developed a tradition of taking sweet peas to the bishop’s house for their wives or mothers. He was a verger at the YOU, enthronement service for Bishop Kenneth Stevenson in 1995 and he’ll be verging at the installation of the Rt Rev Christopher Foster this month. He’s one of 1,100 wor- shippers expected to celebrate the arrival of our new bishop. The Diocese of Portsmouth LESLIE was created in 1927, and our first bishop, Neville Lovett, was in post until 1937. Leslie had joined the choir at Holy Trinity Church at the age of eight and became verger there in his mid-20s. “The bishops used to park their cars in Holy Trinity churchyard and go across the road to get their Photo courtesy of The News, Portsmouth Leslie Jacobs, who was verger at Holy Trinity, Fareham for more than 60 years, and who will help at the installation service hair cut,” he said.

  • The Law of Contract 1670-1870
    THE LAW OF CONTRACT 1670– 1870 The foundations for modern contract law were laid between 1670 and 1870. Rather than advancing a purely chronological account, this exami- nation of the development of contract law doctrine in England during that time explores key themes in order to better understand the drivers of legal change. These themes include the relationship between lawyers and merchants, the role of equity, the place of statute, and the part played by legal literature. Developments are considered in the context of the legal system of the time and through those who were involved in litigation as lawyers, judges, jurors or litigants. It concludes that the way in which contract law developed was complex. Legal change was often uneven and slow, and some of the apparent changes had deep roots in the past. Clashes between conservative and more reformist tendencies were not uncommon. warren swain is an Associate Professor at the TC Beirne School of Law, University of Queensland, Australia. cambridge studies in english legal history Edited by J.
