| Description | The contents of this file were formerly in a portfolio (121) entitled:
Ingleby / Clement / & / Ingleby & Wragge
1830.
In the Inventory of M. R. Boulton's Study Safe, made in 1842, the file is listed as No. 39, with the same title.
The file contains letters and bills sent to M. R. Boulton by Clement Ingleby and other representatives of the firm of Ingleby & Wragge, solicitors of Birmingham. Most of these were written at the firm's office in Bennett's Hill, though a few are dated at Ingleby's private residence, Sand Hill House, and some others were sent by him from London. There are also a few letters from other correspondents, which had been forwarded to Boulton by the lawyers. Bills were submitted in November 1832, March 1834, April 1835, and July 1839, and these afford a convenient summary of the work done by the firm on Boulton's account. (See the corresponding entries below.) In submitting their charges, it appears the solicitors made a clear distinction between work done by Ingleby alone and work done by the partnership.
The documents are arranged in chronological order. The summaries in quotation-marks are taken from the contemporary dockets. |
