ABBOTT

(Charles, of Shaftesbury and Pall Mall) Attested Copy of his Bargain and Sale

to make a Tenant to the Praecipe for suffering a Recovery of Premises in the County of Dorset, whereby Abbott ‘sells’ for 10 shillings a long list of properties in and near Shaftesbury to his solicitor Charles Fry of Lincoln’s Inn, “in order to bar dock and destroy all Estates tail and all remainders and recoveries thereupon expectant or depending ... that the same [properties] may be limited and assured To such uses ... as are hereinafter mentioned”, the chief properties are “Wilkins Hays ... 12 acres ... in the Parish of St. James near Shaston within the Liberty of ... Alcister [now Alcester] ... Horse Close ... 10 Acres ... Broad Close ... 20 acres ... And all the estate right title interest use ... whatsoever both at Law and Equity ... to the intent that the said Charles Fry may ... become a good and perfect Tenant of the immediate Freehold”, whereupon another partner in the firm, Henry Vines, is to sue Charles Fry and obtain the properties by a Common Recovery for Charles Abbott’s use and ultimate possession, 3 sides paper 16” x 12 7/8”, title on 5th side, in the neat hand of John Springall, clerk to Messrs. Vernon, Vines & Fry, 6th November 1800, this copy 2nd February 1801 A ‘common recovery’ converted an ‘estate in tail’, burdened by conditions as to who might inherit, into an ‘estate in fee simple’, with absolute power to dispose of it. A representative of the owner claimed in court that the estate was all along in fee simple, and that he (the representative) had been disseised of it by a fictitious Hugh Hunt within the past thirty years. A ‘common vouchee’, usually the court crier, next claimed, also untruthfully, that he had sold the lands to the present owner. Judgment was given for the representative, and against the common vouchee, who was supposed to give the present owner lands of equal value. As he was a ‘man of straw’, he never did. In this way the estate was conveyed to the representative, to be returned or disposed of by private arrangement. In later recoveries ‘with double voucher’, as here, the present owner in tail previously conveyed the estate to a further representative, the “tenant to the praecipe” who was to “suffer the recovery”. The latter called upon the owner in tail to warrant his possession, and the owner in tail called on the common vouchee. The present document even spells out what is to happen in court when the Common Recovery takes place. This includes the role of the common vouchee. He “shall appear and imparl”, that is, ask the court’s permission to confer with the owner in tail outside the court, “and after imparlance had shall make default and depart in contempt of the Court”, leaving the way open for judgment against him. Common recoveries, designed to bind all parties and cover all loop-holes, were abolished in 1833, and replaced by a simple form of deed made by the owner. The first Abbott to own Wilkins Hays was John Abbott, Mason, in 1723. Was he, like the builder, ancestor of the Forsytes, ‘Superior Dosset’?

ABERCROMBY

(George, 1770-1843, M.P., 2nd Baron) 2 Autograph letters signed, one with initials, to his brother-in-law  Robert Saunders DUNDAS , M.P., 1771-1851,

from 1811  2nd Viscount MELVILLE , saying “If you were in the House of Commons on Monday last during the debate on the Supply, you will be able to inform me, how far ... the report of that Debate has been accurately given to the Public”, and if it has not, “I must entreat you, as an act of friendship, to state, in the most delicate manner, my own wish & that of my Brother that the opinion of which we complain, should be immediately corrected”, he alludes “to the latter part of  Mr. Wm. Dundas’s Speech ”, Robert’s cousin, 1762-1845, of which  an account is enclosed (present)  from an Edinburgh newspaper, and says that “the impression which it must have been intended to convey to those who valued the judgement & opinions of my Father”, General  Sir Ralph ABERCROMBY , 1731-1801, on “the probable result & duration of the Expedition to Egypt, is in all respects so directly opposite to the Opinion ... in his [Sir Ralph’s] Correspondence with Govt.” that he never “entertained, far less expressed” such an opinion, William Dundas has been excusing the unforeseen cost of the expedition of March 1801 by saying Sir Ralph himself thought it would be immediately successful, George comments “I am fortunately in possession of the whole Correspondence, public and private ... So far from entertaining sanguine or flattering views ... my Father was too much aware of the innumerable obstacles ... he only pledged himself ‘to do anything that it was possible for men who loved their Country & their Profession, to accomplish’ ”, George’s brother Sir John, 1772-1817, who was badly wounded in the campaign, “has most positively assured me that my Father never calculated on the service being over before September ... Mr. Addington”, 1757-1844, the Prime Minister, “I observe lies under the same misapprehension” (14th February 1802), in the  second letter  George expresses himself not completely satisfied by Robert’s answer, and states that “both Mr. A[ddington] and Mr. [William] D[undas] have been much misinformed”, he is sending “full extracts from my Fathers Correspondence” for communicating “to Mr. D. & if you judge it proper to Mr Addington”, sure that “whether the Observations delivered in the H. of C. were meant to apply to the Duration or the Expence” they misrepresent his father “to the public”, Robert will see that, on the duration, Sir Ralph “was up to the last moment extremely doubtful”, and that, as a military man, he was not responsible for estimating the expence, but as to estimating the forces required, “in his letter of the 21st Jany. [1801] ... he urges Govt. in the strongest manner to send out immediate Reinforcements”, he feels sure that “the Gentlemen who appealed” to “my Fathers name and opinion” will “in candor, and in justice to his Memory and Character embrace the very first opportunity ... and correct the error ... I feel it is the bounden duty of his family to do what he w[oul]d have done himself ... your discretion will I am persuaded deliver me from any farther cause of uneasiness upon this subject” (no date), in all 9 sides 4to. and newspaper extract, 14th February and no date, 1802 Sir Ralph shares with Sir John Moore the credit of renewing the ancient discipline and military reputation of the British soldier, combining efficient training with genuine concern for their welfare. The Egyptian expedition put an end to Napoleon’s plans in the Middle East, whereby he hoped to secure a route to India. Sir Ralph landed at Aboukir Bay against tremendous opposition, and won the great victory at Alexandria on 21st March 1801. He was, however, wounded in the thigh, by a ball that could not be extracted, and died on board the Foudroyant on the 28th March. His widow was created Baroness Abercromby in May 1801. George’s correspondent acted as private secretary, 1794-1801, to his father, the famous Henry Dundas, 1742-1811, from 1802 1st Viscount Melville. He was himself 1st Lord of the Admiralty March 1812 - April 1827 and September 1828 - November 1830. He supported Arctic Exploration and Melville Sound is named after him. Costs were foremost in the Government’s mind at this time, as witness the Peace of Amiens, concluded with Napoleon in March 1802, and the enquiry into Henry Dundas’ use of public money begun the same year.

ABERCROMBY

(George, 1770-1843, M.P., 2nd Baron) 2 Autograph letters signed, to his father-in-law  Henry DUNDAS , 1742-1811,

from 1802 1st  Viscount MELVILLE , saying the latter’s note “seems to hold out the very near prospect of being relieved from the painful State of Suspense” concerning the writer’s father,  General Sir Ralph ABERCROMBY , 1731-1801, in spite of “a most severe stuggle” his mother, Mary Anne née Menzies, d. 1821, from May 1801 1st Baroness, “has supported herself ... with admirable composure ... Yesterday I predicted in the most positive manner that the Despatches were coming by Sea, and that as the Hamburgh Mail had brought nothing, we c[oul]d not look for intelligence from that quarter ... Your letter has perfectly satisfied her, & should we be doomed to the suspense of two or three days yet to come, she will have spirit to submit to it. The fate of poor John”, his brother, 1772-1817, later Lieut.-General, “grieves me to the heart - To a military man ... there is no calamity equal to ... finding himself disabled from pursuing the favourite object of his life ... born to support the military reputation of the family ... Lord E[lgin]”, 1766-1841, Ambassador at Constantinople 1799-1803, “has written so doubtfully of the wound that one may yet indulge a hope ... Montagu”, the writer’s wife, 1772-1827, “is much shocked with the accounts of Mrs Strange” (‘Monday’), “It is hard to be doomed to another days Suspense” but he expects “the next Dispatches will be from the General himself. We have had amply sufficient on the authority of Mr. Tooke and Lord K[eith]”, the Admiral, 1746-1823, who had been with Sir Ralph the year before off Cadiz, “The brilliant & masterly conduct of the General and his brave Army has fully compensated for the very great anxiety”, lamenting “that any circumstance should have occurred to damp the joy which his family have felt” and that, “had the result of the Expedition been other than it is”, it would hardly have given his family “much satisfaction to congratulate him on his safe return”, he would have considered “a drawn battle ... equal to a defeat. His Army has been inspired with the same sentiments, & in consequence ... glorious to them selves & their Country”, he adds that “My mother has born up wonderfully ... I owe much to our kind friends in London, particularly to Hope & the Advocate”, Charles Hope 1763-1851, Lord Advocate 1801, “Montagu desires me to be most kindly remembered to you and Lady Jane” (‘Tuesday’), in all 7 sides 4to., Edinburgh, ‘Monday’ and ‘Tuesday’ no date, [April 1801] Sir Ralph shares with Sir John Moore the credit of renewing the ancient discipline and military reputation of the British soldier, combining efficient training with genuine concern for their welfare. The Egyptian expedition put an end to Napoleon’s plans in the Middle East, whereby he hoped to secure a route to India. Sir Ralph landed at Aboukir Bay against tremendous opposition, and won the great victory at Alexandria on 21st March 1801. He was, however, wounded in the thigh, by a ball that could not be extracted, and died on board the Foudroyant on the 28th March. His widow was created Baroness Abercromby in May 1801.
