2pp., 4to. Very good, on lightly-aged paper. The first paragraph reads: 'In expansion of my somewhat cryptic remarks reported in col. 241 of the Official Report of last night's debate you may care to have the following note about the point which you raised.' There follow quotations relating to 'The summary offence [.] under subsection (1) of section 9 of the Vehicles (Excise) Act, 1949' and 'The indictable offence [.] under section 5 of the Perjury Act, 1911'. From the Chorley papers.

2pp., 4to. 46 lines. Fair, on lightly-aged paper. He begins: 'Since you spoke in the Education Debate in the House of Lords on the 9th February I have been meaning to take up with you a controversial point to which I did not refer in reply since you were not in the House.' He quotes a passage in which Chorley 'dealt with University students', giving detailed reasons for contesting his 'figures about awards'. He concludes with reference to a review by the Minister of Education of 'both the maintenance grants which are paid by his department and the income scales by which the parents' share of expenses are assessed. But that is another matter.'.

2pp., landscape 12mo. 28 lines of text. Fair, on lightly-aged paper, with slight damage to one corner. Addressed to 'Dear Professor Chorley', the letter begins: 'I do feel we owe you a very great deal for coming on Saturday. Every body seemed pleased with the meeting and that was mainly due to the chief speaker. They liked what you said and who said it.' Considering the demands on Chorley's time, she is grateful to him for not cancelling the engagement, and for the fact that he did not 'pour coals of fire' on her head for the 'silly mistake about the train'. 'In fact, for some things you ought to be scolded: but I do not find it hard to reciprocate your spirit of forgiveness.' She hopes that next time he visits he 'will see something of the country round Sheffield and that I shall be again in walking form'. She asks for notes on his lecture, and for his 'full expenses - from door to door'. She concludes in the hope that she will be able 'to write M.P. after July'.

5pp., foolscap 8vo, each on a separate leaf. Fair, on aged paper, stapled together in one corner, but with the last leaf detached. The subject is not compulsory military service but the role of the civil servant (see the conclusion, quoted below). The first paragraph reads: 'Lord Chorley said that there is a close connection between the sort of function which the machinery of government performs in any society and the civil service which is required in that society. As one who had experience both from the political and from the administrative angle he would endeavour to pick out the salient points.' On p.4: 'It would already be difficult to reconstruct the National Health Service in any radical sort of way, and in a few years time it might become almost impossible; that was one of the drawbacks of organisation upon a nation wide basis, without previous experimentation.' The conclusion reads: 'The civil servant had to realise that he was at once the leader and the servant in the modern community. In modern leadership the General plays as one of the team, and a great part of his job is to make his individual followers realise that they are a team, and to give them a proper appreciation of the objectives which the team is striving to attain. That was of paramount importance in the domestic state to which we were all committed and if we failed to bring it about we might as well see the end of the western democratic civilization for which our generation had a special responsibility.' From the Chorley papers. The document is undated, but there is a reference to 'the arrangements made between 1945-50 for running national industry', and a reference in anothe document among Chorley's papers dates the talk to 1952.

Manuskript / Papierantiquität
11pp., 4to. In fair condition, on aged paper, with a couple of manuscript emendations. Without title, date or author's name. Can be dated to 1952 from comment on p.9: 'Power of Service enormously greater in 1952 than in 1852 - both individually and collectively.' Chorley's authorship is clear from the context: on the second page he recalls that he was 'a temporary Civil Servant in the first world war', and the document concludes: 'Suspect chosen because identified with Chorley Report - no responsibility beyond that of other members of the Committee. | Lord Crook and "sick and tired of Chorley" will endeavour to bring these remarks to an end before the audience becomes "sick and tired".' The first paragraph makes clear the subject of the talk : 'I image that those who selected the subject for tonights discussion had observed that there is a close connection between the sort of function which the machinery of State performs in any particular society and the sort of Civil Service which is required in that State, and wished to get the views on the problem of some person who could look at it from both the political angle and the administrative angle. I will do my best to pick out what sem to be the most important points.' Becomes more like shorthand as document proceeds. From the Chorley papers.

2pp., 12mo. 20 lines. Good, on lightly-aged paper. Asking Chorley if he would be one of '3 members for the committee which is to be set up to examine the powers of this House over its members relative to their attendance - that is probably not an accurate description of it, but I have not got the reference handy, and I think you will know what I mean!' The committee is to be appointed the following June, 'but Hendriks would be glad to have the names beforehand'. 'Wedgy Benn [William Wedgwood Benn, 1st Viscount Stansgate] and Lewis Silkin' have also been asked. From the Chorley papers.

The five items are in good condition, on lightly-aged and creased paper. Items One and Two: Typed drafts of a 'Statement of Qualifications', headed 'Lord Chorley's application for appointment to the lectureship in Evidence, Procedure and Criminal Law.' Both 2pp., 4to. Slightly different in layout, and with few (if any) textual differences. After describing his career Chorley writes: 'Although my chief legal study has been commercial law I had experience of teaching Evidence, Procedure and Criminal Law at the Law Society's School. I examined in these subjects for the Council of Legal Education, and have also examined in criminal law for the Cambridge LL.B. and for the Law Society's Honours Examination. Penal Problems have for a number of years occupied my attention, and I am Chairman fo the Council of the Institute for the Study and Treatment of Delinquency and a Vice Chairman of the Howard League.' He descibes his 'other interests of a public character'. The document concludes 'If appointed I shall do my best not only to instill into my pupils a sound and broad grasp of legal principles and rules, but also some knowledge of the traditions and principles of the English bar, as far as this may be done in lectures of a general character.' Item Three: Autograph Letter of Recommendation Signed ('Wright') from Lord Wright. On letterhead of the Oxford & Cambridge University Club, Pall Mall; 2 July 1952. 2pp., 4to. 34 lines. He begins: 'I am happy to be allowed to support Lord Chorley's application for the post in the Inns of Court School of Law left vacant by the much regretted death of Sir Roland Burrows.' He has had 'opportunities of appreciating Lord Chorley's qualities & his experience in the Law & his forensic outfit [sic, for 'outlook'] almost from the date of his call', and praises his 'learning and breadth of view'. Wright 'had the honour to take the chair of his inaugural lecture on the Conflict of Law & Commerce, when he entered on a successful career as Cassel Professor of Commercial & Industrial Law in the University of London in 1930'. He continues to press Chorley's claims to the post, before concluding: 'I am confident that Lord Chorley will be a most inspiring & instructive teacher & would add further strength to the already distinguished staff of the school.' Item Four: Typed transcript of Item Three. 1p., 4to. Item Five: Typed copy of letter of recommendation from A. M. Carr-Saunders. 2 July 1952. He begins by describing Chorley's career, with the comment that he gave up 'the prospect of a successful career at the Bar because of his deep interest in teaching'. He concludes by describing Chorley's 'most successful' tenure, from 1930 to 1944, of the Sir Ernest Cassel Chair of Commerical and Industrial Law.' Chorley's 'politcal appointment' has been a considerable loss to the academic profession, 'and it would be greatly to the benefit of that profession if he resumed his place as a teacher of law'.

Manuskript / Papierantiquität
Following the 1951 General Election, Morrision was proposed as Speaker by the victorious Conservative Party, against convention. An election among MPs followed, with Morrision winning against the Labour candidate Major James Milner. 2pp., 4to. Fair, on aged and lightly-creased paper. At the head of the first page Chorley has written the words 'not used'. The first paragraph reads: 'There are a number of reasons why Mr. W. S. Morrison should not have been nominated for Speaker of the House of Commons which were not adequately brought out in the short debate, but which in view of the vital importance of maintaining the position of the Speaker as one of complete impartiality above the combat of parties ought to be put on record.' Chorley's main objections are to a former cabinet minister holding the office, and to one with little experience 'of the rule of the Chair'. In the concluding paragraph Chorley states: 'As it is a Conservative with no experience of the work of the Chair has obtained this highly prized office; and the Labour Party which after all has now for over a quarter of a century been one of the two great political parties of the country, has to wait still longer for one of its members to attain the Speakership.' From the Chorley papers.
