‎John Bell (1764-1836) of Lincoln's Inn, English barrister:‎

‎John Bell of Lincoln's Inn. Part of document giving his legal opinion in a cause written out by a clerk and signed and dated by him.‎

‎Lincoln's Inn. 14 March 1828. Bell's entry in the Oxford DNB records that 'In conversation with the prince regent later George IV Lord Chancellor Eldon was said to have described Bell as the best lawyer then at the equity bar though he could "neither read write walk nor talk": Bell was lame spoke with a broad Westmorland accent the effect of which was heightened by a confirmed stammer and wrote in a hand never more than barely legible. He was accustomed to say that he wrote in three hands - one which he himself could read one which his clerk could read and one which neither he nor his clerk could read.' The present document consists of the lower part of a 4to leaf torn away to make a piece of 16 x 20 cm paper with the legal opinion in a far neater hand than Bell's on both sides. In fair condition on aged and worn paper. The first page of the legal opinion in which no particulars are revealed is pretty much a fair copy while the second page is more untidy with several corrections and interpolations. The first page begins: '<.> then living he will be absolutely entitled to the £3000 and the accumulations and the question will not arise. But if the 21 years expires before he is forty or if he is living when it expires it is uncertain who shall ultimately be entitled to the money and the directions in the will that the produce shall go to those would have been entitled .'. The last page concludes by citing other cases. The last sentence reads: 'But as the Trustees made no benefit of it themselves by Keeping it in their own hands perhaps the Court might charge them 4 Per Cent only and compound Interest.' Bell signs and dates the document at the end of the verso: 'John Bell Lins. Inn March 14. 1828'. Lincoln's Inn. 14 March 1828. unknown‎

‎John Cartier (c1923-1997), English baritone, singer of Gilbert and Sullivan with the D'Oyly Carte: c. 19‎

‎John Cartier English baritone. Three Autograph Letters Signed to 'David' describing the 'hard-going' of his touring existence and enclosing photographs for his 'enormous collection'.‎

In fair condition lightly aged and worn. In the last letter he states that he has received the 'envelopes' and has 'distributed them round to various singers and musicians who will eventually I am sure be sending you a photograph with best wishes'. He apologises for being unable to invite him to visit: 'You see this is a very tiny flat and in fact I am very seldom here for any length of time as my work means continual journeying from place to place for concerts and shows. For instance I am just off to the Channel Islands for some “Yeomen of the Guard†productions an soon go back to America for concerts. This sort of thing is really quite hard-going and leaves very little time for doing many things one would like doing. The thing I look forward to most is to stay in one place for any length of time.' He ends with condolences over the recipient's heart attack. In the first letter written on Cartier's return from America he states that he is enclosing photographs 'to swell your already enormous collection'. In the second he explains that he is sends two more photographs 'taken some time ago'. All from 10 Rutherford House, Brady Street, London E1. 15 January 1974, and 5 March and 21 May 1975. unknown‎
