Manuscript title on reverse.

 

 

The full parchment is typescript, with manuscript insertions in two places. The first section lists the Kings Parliamentary Members and the second lists the Justices of the Peace. The document is dated "1st. day of April in the first year of our reign". King George IV became King on 29th. January 1820 and this may have been the first opportunity for him to appoint his legal representatives, in time for the Easter Term (April / May)1820. The seal is missing.

With thanks to Brian F. O'Carroll B. Arch., FRIAI, RIBA, Minst. RA.
