  • The Home Office and Public Disturbance, C.1800-1832
    The Home Office and Public Disturbance, c.1800-1832 Nathan Ashley Bend Submitted to the University of Hertfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of PhD. May 2018 ii Abstract This thesis examines the role of the Home Office in the machinery of order from c.1800-1832. It combines institutional enquiry with the study of popular protest by examining protest from the viewpoint of the Home Office. It looks at how the growth of the Home Office was stagnated due to efforts to economise, and how it transformed its systems to make them more efficient in response to peaks of administrative work caused by popular tumult. The different roles that each person performed in the Home Office is outlined, and by doing so the pivotal role of the permanent under- secretary of state, who remains underrepresented in histories of protest, is exposed. It also looks at what powers the home secretary had at his disposal, and how they were used to repress food riots, the Luddite disturbances, the movement for parliamentary reform, the Swing riots, political agitation leading to the Great Reform Act, and trade unions. It compares the different approaches of home secretaries and argues that although the use of powers was generally guided by established precedent, others such as domestic espionage were more divisive, and were influenced by the personality and experience of the home secretary. The thesis also examines the relationships between the Home Office hierarchy and government departments with authorities in the provinces. This thesis brings together all the available records which relate to the Home Office as an institution and those which relate to public disturbance.

  • MS 69 Papers of Christopher Collins, Mid to Late Seventeenth Century, C.1800-75
    1 MS 69 Papers of Christopher Collins, mid to late seventeenth century, c.1800-75 Christopher Collins entered the service of the First Duke of Wellington in 1824 and remained as his confidential servant for the remainder of the Dukes life, continuing in the service of the Second Duke. He travelled with Wellington on most of his journeys, including Wellington’s journey to St. Petersburg in February to April 1826. The collection that forms MS 69 was for the most part separated from the papers of the First Duke of Wellington that form MS 61 during the 1860s, when that collection was weeded extensively, and which were preserved by Collins rather than being destroyed. Other papers include a sample of Wellington’s letters and notes to Collins, which provide an interesting insight into the organization and running of the Duke’s household. The Collection divides into four groups: (i) political correspondence of the First Duke of Wellington, 1807-1852 (ii) correspondence of Wellington with Lieutenant Colonel Gurwood, editor of his Dispatches (iii) Wellington’s correspondence with Christopher Collins and (iv) papers of Christopher Collins. The collection was grouped in five portfolios and his arrangement has been preserved. It was acquired by the University with the assistance of the Museums and Galleries Commission/Victoria and Albert Museum Purchase Grant Fund and the Pilgrim Trust at Messrs. Woolley and Wallis’ sale at Salisbury on 13 November 1991. MS 69 1/1 Letter from Prince Albert to Arthur Wellesley, First Duke of Wellington.

  • Mark Pack Submitted for the Degree of Dphil York University History Department June1995 Appendix 1: Borough Classifications
    Aspects of the English electoral system 1800-50, with special reference to Yorkshire. Volume 2 of 2 Mark Pack submitted for the degree of DPhil York University History Department June1995 Appendix 1: Borough classifications ' There are several existing classifications of boroughs by franchise type. I have preferred to construct my own as there are clear problems with the existing classifications, such as inconsistencies and some errors (e.g. see Malton below). In this context, it is more satisfying to delve into the issue, rather than simply pick one of the existing classifications off the shelf. This is particularly so given the existence of a much under-used source of evidence: post-1832 electoral registers (or sources that contain information about them). Under certain conditions pre-1832 franchises were allowed to continue after 1832. As electoral registers listed what qualifications people had registered under, post-1832 registers can reveal the pre-1832 franchise. That at least is the theory; there are some complicating factors. First, the description in an electoral register may be less than a complete description of the pre-1832 franchise. For example, if a register says "freemen" one does not know if there had been additional requirements, such as having to be resident. Second, not all pre-1832 constituencies survived, and so there are no electoral registers for these. Third, compilers of electoral registers may have got the pre-1832 franchise wrong. This is unlikely as when the first registers were being drawn up in the 1830s there was a wealth of local and verbal knowledge to consult.
