Chandler.

{13} Being of age and out of his articles to Mr. Martyr, he went
to London, and took lodgings there. Mr. Adderley, of New Inn,
received him in his chambers for instruction in his profession, but
his attendance there was not regular.

{14} Mr. Jenkins was in Mr. Adderley's office, and afterwards
entered into partnership with Mr. Bray. Mr. James was also in the
same office.

{15} He went to his French master for some months, an hour at a
time; not regularly.

{16} About this time he bought many books, all at low prices, at
stalls and auctions.

{17} Playing at cards almost every night, and always for coin, he
had a purse on purpose.

{18} Whilst at Guildford he lodged at Baptist's for 7s. a week.
He dined at the 'White Hart,' for 10d.

{19} He sold this stock to pay 23 pounds 12s. 6d. for Viner's
'Abridgment of the Law.'

{20} He visited Miss Stevens almost every day, but he was not much
less in other society than formerly, and he was seldom alone at any
time of the day or evening.
