Thomas Morgan's Commonplace Book: 1708-36

CHAPTER X. Mr. Thomas Morgan's Commonplace Book.

BESIDE the shallow, rapid waters of the river Rhymny, where that stream divides Rumney and Saint Mellon's in Monmouthshire from Llanedern in Glamorgan, and in the latter county and parish, stands a modest farmhouse on the site of an old mansion known (like its successor) as Coed-y-gorres. This was anciently the seat of a branch of the Morgan family, and, during the first half of the 18th century, was inhabited by William Morgan of Coed-y-gorres, esquire. It is to this gentleman's younger brother, Thomas, that we must attribute the compilation of the manuscript described in this dissertation. I am indebted to the kind assistance and painstaking research of Mr. John Stuart Corbett, and Colonel Bradney of Tal-y-coed, for the identification of this Thomas Morgan among the numerous branches of the Morgan stock. An old MS. list of Sheriffs, Undersheriffs and County Clerks shews that in the year 1722 William Morgan of Coed-y-goras, Esq., was Sheriff, his brother Henry Morgan, Under-sheriff, and "Thomas Morgan, Ano^r Bro^r," County Clerk. A pedigree privately printed by Sir Thomas Phillips gives the following particulars:—

This descent agrees with the few genealogical data derivable from the Commonplace Book, and reveals the mystery of the writer's identity. No pedigree that I have seen states whether Thomas Morgan was married or not. The Commonplace Book, however, shews that he was, and that he had a son John. There is reason to suppose (see p. 463) that his wife was a daughter of Mrs. Anne Kemeys. It is not clear what the office of "County Clerk" was. It was not the same as Clerk of the Peace for the County, and seems to have become extinct about 1780. Thomas Morgan's place of residence is still a matter of doubt. His MS. only speaks of "the house we live in." This was certainly somewhere near Coedy-gorres. The writer of the Commonplace Book was a near kinsman of David Morgan, "the Pretender's Counsellor," who was beheaded on Kennington Common in 1746, for having joined the army of Prince Charles Edward Stuart.

The greater part of the contents of this MS. are private accounts; but with these are to be found documents of considerable public interest. The whole presents to the modern reader an entertaining picture of the life of a country gentleman of ancient lineage and modest fortune, whose time was divided between his duties as a lawyer and a farmer, and the interests of whose tenants and clients yet left him a fair margin of leisure for enjoying himself. Mr. Morgan, indeed, displayed a wonderful aptitude for combining the joys of conviviality with the sterner requirements of business; and he rarely rode into Cardiff to transact his affairs, without calling for a friendly glass at the Red House or the Angel. That these potations were marked by strict moderation, however, appears from the minuteness with which, on his return home, Mr. Morgan entered up his accounts. No item was too small to be the subject of a separate entry, even halfpenny-worths of bread or milk being religiously set down. The book begins with a draft Bill of Costs, and several others appear on subsequent pages. Some are composed wholly or partly in Latin and written in courthand—a rather late survival of antique lawyership. There are some lists of debts owing by and to Mr. Morgan, accounts of cattle and horses sold, draft legal forms of various kinds and a Rent Roll for the year 1726; then we come to his own private account of "money expended on all occasions," which, from the many curious particulars it gives of the old country life, is perhaps the most interesting portion of the book. I will refer to this in greater detail, but will first briefly call attention to the Agreement of 1716, which concludes the manuscript and relates to the Manor and Barton of Penarth, and will then say a few words about the valuable document, dated 1708, which deals with certain prerogatives of the Lord of Cardiff. This document seems to be a rough copy of a Case with Opinion of Counsel, and reminds one of Town Clerk Wood's memoranda (ante, p. 112). The present paper is of earlier date, by more than a hundred years, and contains some points not touched upon by the more modern Cases and Opinions. Here we find it assumed that the Lord was Constable of Cardiff Castle, though Counsel considers the Lords to have been "under great mistakes" in believing themselves to be Constables. His grounds, however, seem distinctly weak. He points out that the ancient Charters provide for the Lord's appointing his Constable —forgetting that the ancient Lords of Cardiff were Lords Marcher of Glamorgan, with jura regalia. Counsel's further point, that a Lady could not be Constable, is no stronger, since a lady can even be a sovereign and wield the sword of empire. Nor is he warranted in assuming the absurdity of a man's being Constable of his own Castle on behalf of the King. To turn to Thomas Morgan's private accounts, 3s. 6d. was paid for a pound of chocolate, 9s. for 1¼lb. of green tea, and 2s. 6d. for a quarter of a pound of Bohea. Every few days a boy was sent with some pence to fetch coal from the mine; this was termed, in the domestic phraseology of the Morgans, "going to coal." On one occasion Mr. Morgan bought a pennyworth of pipes and three half-pennyworth of tobacco. He seems to have been a moderate smoker. Under date 7 February 1731, an amount is entered as "7s. 6d. or 5s. I cant tell which"; but the total shews Mr. Morgan prudently assumed the correctness of the larger sum. In 1733 he bought turnips by the pennyworth. Just at this time these roots were being introduced by Lord Townsend into his Norfolk estates, for cultivation as a field crop, but as yet they were a culinary luxury. In 1731 Mr. Morgan was elected an Alderman of the Borough of Cardiff, and bought a wig for £2. He paid 2s. 4d. for stamps on the Certificate of his Freedom, and spent 8s. 3d. in celebrating the commencement of his municipal career. A large proportion of the commodities used in the household were obtained at Bristol and brought thence to Cardiff quay in Captain Priest's market-boat. Porters were then sent to carry the goods to the house; hence the occurrence of such entries as "Paid porter with things from the boat." Payments were made and received in kind and by work, almost as commonly as in money. Such farm labour as hoeing, weeding, sheaving and haymaking was done by women. There was much roasting of beef and baking of mince pies a few days before the Christmas of 1734.

These private accounts are written by two different hands, apparently of Mr. Morgan and his steward. The former seems to have been the elder, and wrote a modified courthand, while his steward writes a good Italian running hand.

For the loan of this valuable manuscript the Corporation are indebted to the kindness of Oliver H. Jones, Esq., of Fonmon Castle.

1708.

[Case.]

The Lord Viscount Windsor in the Right of his Lady daughter & heir of Phillip late Earl of Pembrook is Lord of the Castle and Towne of Cardiff and as such is Constable of y^e same Castle & intitled to a Duty called Bushellage (viz^t) a Welsh Bushell of all Salt Apples Corne and such like imported to Cardiff and to a rent of 5l. 13s. & 4d. payable by the Bayliffs of Cardiffe and to all the p'fitts of the Town Court for which the Bayliffs ought to account at the L^ds Audit And as Constable he had by himself or Deputy the right of swearing of the Bayliffs of the Towne and Serj^ts at Mace and alsoe y^e makeing of a Town Clerk & his Deputy is a Justice of the Peace within y^e Corporac'on.

Upon the death of Phillip late Earl of Pembrook The first [sic] Earl of Pembrook claimed all the matters either durante bene placito or quam diu se bene gesserit but that office was generally held during pleasure and the Towne Clerkes were removed at the Pleasure of y^e Lords of the Towne.

About two years since my Lord Pembrook being satisfy'd he had noe Title [? left] all his Castles Mano^rs &c in Com. Glam'gan to my Lord Windso^r who appointed S^r Edward Stradling his Deputy and one Watkin Lloyd Town Clerk and S^r Edward as Deputy Swore two of the Aldermen of the Towne Bayliffs but they being not elected by the Majority of the Burgesses the old Bailiffs continu'd acting still and M^r William Richards as Deputy to S^r Tho. Mansel continu'd receiving the Duties belonging to the Constable and M^r Mich. Richards to act as Town Clerk but neither the old or New Bailiffs did pay the afores^d rent of 5. 13. & 1d. or give any acc^t of the p'fitts of the Courts and Clare having brought salt to Cardiff M^r W^m Richards caused him to be arrested for not paying the duty unto him & gott Judgm^t ag^t him in the Towne Court & he having brought his habeas Corpus in order to remove these Acc'ons to y^e Queens Bench & sever^ll moc'ons having been thereab^ts they added the Expences thereof to the value of ab^t 18l to the Costs of the Towne Court and before any Ca. Sa. return'd ag^t the principle snapt a Judgm^t upon Scire fac. ag^t the Bail & imediately made out a fi. fa. whereupon M^r Richards his Bro. Cl. two Serj^ts & four Constables went to the Bayliffs house in order to execute the same but the Serj^ts being shy in taking y^e goods M^r Richards ask'd them w^t they were afraid off if they were he would doe it And then with^t being desir'd by the Serj^ts took sever^ll goods of the Bayliffs and carry'd them to the house of one Wells where they were detain'd untill there was paid 22l for the delivery thereof.

The Considerac'on of the duty call'd Bushellage is the keeping of a Bushell for measureing of salt &c imported as it seems by the Surveys but there is noe [lege one] other Considerac'on (viz^t) the making & repairing of a Key or place of Landing which is done at the expence of the Corporac'on And for that the Burgesses pay noe Duty.

Observe likewise that all these Duties are due to the Lord who is indeed the Constable of the Castle but is usually paid to and rece'd by y^e Deputy by the Curtesy of the Lord and not as mre. of right.

Qre.

Whether the Power of the old Bailiffs was determin'd on the swearing of the new though they were not duely elected And if it were whether the acc'ons did not lye ag^t them for every Act they did ?

[Opinion.]

I am of Oppinion that they being not duly elected s^r Edward Stradling could not Swear them but the old Bailiffs continuing to act de facto for want of a New Ellecc'on I think noe acc'on will lie ag^t them tho' an Informac'on may be brought them & the Corporac'on for acting without Warr^t

Qre.

Whether an Indebit. et assumpsit. for money rece'd or a Bill in Chancery will lie ag^t M^r Richards for the profitts of the Town Clerks office and whether any act or thing necessary to be done by the Town Clerk appointed by my Lord Windso^r to entitle him thereto [sic] and w^t Construcc'on will be given to m^r Richards pattent if it be as it is said Gener^lly w[i]thout any limitac'on as to its continuance.

[Opinion.]

An Indebitat. ass^t or a Bill in Canc. lies for y^e ffees but the latter is best because by it M^r Rich^ds will be compell'd to deliver Lloyd the Records & Books belonging to the Court & office as well as to the acc^d [lege to account] for ffees and Lloyd will be also quieted in the poss'ion of the office but the Title of the office will be tried upon a feign'd Issue at Law. M^r Lloyd must be sure to qualify him self by taking y^e oaths &c before he can bring an acc'on for any p'fitts rece'd for a Consid^rable time but for the first ten weeks after he was made Town Clerk he may bring an Acc'on without being qualify'd. I canot observe by any of the Charters that a power is given to the Corporac'on and therefore the right of making one must be govern'd by the Custome and usage of the place as well as the right & Power of removing him and there is a Clause in K. James his Charter confirming the antient Methods of Ellecting such officers whose Ellecc'on is not provided for by that Charter.

Qre.

Whether it be not proper for my Lord Windso^r to p'ferr a Bill in Cane. ag^t the Corporac'on of Cardiff in order to setle his Rights by a decree for they now seem to deny every thing & have taken upon them to Ellect M^r Richards for their Town Clerk and to deny sundry other things.

[Opinion.]

It is a very proper Method But if my Lord Windso^r makes his officers as he should and they qualify themselves according to Law those officers may by acc'ons soon bring things to rights againe.

Nov. 1708. W^m Phillipps.

Qre.

Whether a Mandam ^s will lie for the admitting the Town Clerk appointed by Lord Windso^r And if it will to whom should it be directed to the old or New Bayliffs or w^t Course can be taken for to put him in poss'ion of the office or to get the Records from M^r Richards.

[Opinion.]

By a Bill in Canc. as before is mentioned.

Qre.

Whether an Acc'on of Trover will lie for M^r Claro ag^t William Richards for the Salt he has taken And whether it be proper to Join with him therein his Serv^t that had the Salt. Observe by act of Parliam^t all salt is now to be sold by weight and therefore it should seem to me that if the keeping the Bushell was the only Considerac'on for that Duty it is now lost.

[Opinion.]

Noe Salt is mention'd in the Case but w^t Claro was arrested for and as to the Consequences of that and the Judgm^t you have an Answer below.

Qre.

What Course shall my Lord Windso^r take for the rent of 5l 13 & 4d. due to him from the Towne and for the profitts of the Town Court and ag^t whom ?

[Opinion.]

By a Bill in Canc. ag^t the p'sent & late Bayliffs whose p'decesso^rs were used to acc^t for the same I doe not find by the Coppies of the Charters that I have that the Rent of 5l 13s. 4d. or any other ffee ffarme Rent is reserv'd to the Lord of the Town Or that the Bayliffs are to acc^t for the Perquisites of the Court but without doubt they are by some other whereof I had not y^e p'usall.

Qre.

Whether an Acc'on does not lie ag^t W^m Richards for other p'fitts by him rece'd belonging to the Constable of the Castle Admitting the Lord Pembrook und^r whome he claim'd had noe right And whether the poss'ion of My Lord Pembrook will be any p'judice to My Lord Winsors Claim when that his Lady was an Infant or feme Covert All the Time.

[Opinion.]

I Observe the Lords of the Towne have been under gr^t mistakes for how long time I canot tell in believing themselves to be Constables of the Castle of Cardiff which they are not but they are to make a Constable of y^e Castle and the old Charters menc'on that officers are to be sworn cora' Constabulario n'ro et q^d Constabularius noster sit [Maior] ville et Burgi de Cardiff And it is indeed absurd and repugnant that one should be Constable of his own Castle or that Isabell Countess of Worcester and Lady of Glam'gan should be a Constable I doe not find any Mention of a Deputy Constable in any of the Charters soe that I doe not see there is any proper officer to call M^r Richards to Account My Lord Windso^r therefore must appoint S^r Edw^d Stradling Constable of his Castle then he can p'ferr a Bill in Chancery.

Qre.

Whether they could Justify the adding of the Costs in the Queens Bench to the Judgm^t in the Towne Court to charge the Bayle And whether a Scire fac. could be granted ag^t him before a Ca. Sa. return'd ag^t princip^ll And if these proceedings may be Justify'd whether M^r Mich. Richards would Justify taking the goods of the Bayle without being desir'd by the Serj^ts

[Opinion.]

The adding of the Costs in the Queens Bench to those sustain'd in the Inferio^r Court is certainly arbitrary and illegall as is alsoe the granting of a Sci. fac. ag^t the Bayle before the Ca. Sa. was return'd but I doubt the Bail have noe way to relieve him self but by an Audita Querela.
