PREFACE. 

The  following  account  of  the  family  of  Bayley  of 
Manchester  and  Hope  was  originally  reprinted  from  the 
Transactions  of  the  Antiquarian  Society  of  Lancashire  and 
Cheshire  for  i88g,  and  is  now  re-issued  at  the  request  of 
several  members  of  the  family.  It  has  been  rearranged 
and  is  so  much  enlarged  that  it  is  practically  a  new  work. 
The  author  has  to  express  his  thanks  to  the  members  of 
the  family  who  have  kindly  assisted  him,  and  especially  to 
Lady  Bayley,  the  widow  of  Sir  Edw'akd  Clive  Bayley, 
K.C.S.I.,  Mrs.  Edward  Bayley,  Mrs.  Macnamara, 
Mrs.  John  Arthur  Fowler,  Mrs.  J.  A.  Harris,  Sir 
Steuart  Colvin  Bayley,  K.C.I.E.,  Mr.  Thomas 
Bayley  Potter,  M.P.,  the  late  Dr.  W.  C.  Henry,

Shaw,  M.A.,  Mr.  T.  Cann  Hughes,  M.A.,  and  Mr.  John 
Owen  have  also  rendered  assistance.  To  Sir  Steuart 
Bayley  the  author  is  also  indebted  for  the  opportunity 
of  reproducing,  as  a  frontispiece,  the  view  of  Hope

dogs  and  for  forestallers  and  regrators  of  the  market, 
as  market  looker  for  white  meat,  as  mise  gatherer,  and 
in  various  other  capacities.  In  165 1  and  several  later 
years  he  was  one  of  the  jur>'.2  In  1661  he  took  the 
oath  of  allegiance,  and  in  1668  was  assessed  at  is.  4d. 
for  his  house  in  Deansgate.  He  was  buried  at  the 
Collegiate  Church,  28th  August,  1688.  His  adminis-

officer  for  Markett  Street  Lane,  bylaw  man  for  Deansgate, 
and  market  looker  for  weights  and  measures.  In  1684  he 
was  fined  for  not  keeping  in  repair  the  street  before  his 
house. ^  He  died  before  his  father,  his  death  being  re- 
ferred to  by  the  Rev.  Henry  Newcome,^  under  date  23rd 
February,  1684-5:  "Dan  Bayley  died  this  morning." 
He  was  buried  at  the  Collegiate  Church  on  the  following 
day.  Administration  to  his  estate  was  granted  14th 
March,  1684-5,  to  "  Sara  Bale)''  widow,  relict  of  the 
deceased." 

Daniel  Bayley  was  married  by  licence,  dated  25  Car. 
n.  and  filed  at  Chester,^  to  Sarah,  daughter  of  the  Rev. 
James  Bradshaw,  of  Darcy  Lever.  She  was  baptized  at 
Wigan,  15th  September,  1650.'^  After  the  death  of  her 
husband  she  appears  to  have  continued  his  business.  She 
is  mentioned  in  the  Court  Leet  Records  in  1686  and 
1687,  and  on  22nd  May,  i6go,  was  assessed  at  o.  i.  o.  for 
the  poll  tax.^  She  was  buried  in  the  Collegiate  Church, 
30th  July,  1695,  and  her  will,  dated  26th  April,  1695,  was 
proved  at  Chester  on  14th  August  following.

III. 

James  Bayley,  of  Manchester,  merchant.  He  was 
baptized  at  the  Collegiate  Church,  4th  February,  1673-4. 
In  1703  he  was  churchwarden.^  In  1721  he  was  one  of 
the  undertakers  for  making  the  Mersey  and  Irwell  navi- 
gable.^ At  the  time  of  the  rebelHon,  in  1745,  he  was  the 
oldest  and  one  of  the  most  prosperous  of  the  Manchester 
merchants,  and,  as  he  was  also  a  Whig,  he  was  amongst 
those  to  whom,  on  gth  December,  1745,  the  young  Pre- 
tender, then  on  his  retreat  from  Derby,  addressed  a 
warrant  "  to  raise  from  the  town  £5,000  against  the  next 
day  by  four  o'clock  on  pain  of  military  execution."  It 
was  thought  impossible  to  do  this  considering  the  sums, 
amounting  to  nearly  ;^3,ooo,  that  had  been  extorted  from 
the  town  before.  Next  morning,  loth  December,  1745,  a 
number  of  the  inhabitants  "waited  on  the  Pretender  to 
acquaint  him  with  the  impossibility  of  raising  the  money, 
and  to  endeavour  to  have  the  payment  excused.  Upon 
this  he  mitigated  it  to  ^^2,500,  and  sent  a  warrant  for  that 
sum  to  be  levied  upon  Manchester  and  Salford  by  one 
o'clock ;  and  while  methods  were  being  contrived  how  to 
procure  it,  three  or  four  of  the  rebels  seized  Mr.  James 
Bailey,  senior,  took  him  to  Secretary  Murray  at  the 
Pretender's  lodgings,  and  told  him  he  must  be  prisoner 
till  it  was  paid ;  and  if  it  was  not  paid  he  must  go  vdth 
them.  Mr.  Bailey  excused  himself  by  saying  he  was 
betwixt  seventy  and  eighty  years  old,  and,  to  his  remem- 
brance, had  not  lain  a  night  out  of  his  own  bed  for  two

years,  nor  could  bear  travel.  He  was  told,  if  he  could  not 
ride,  they  would  endeavour  to  get  him  a  wheel  carriage. 
Mr.  Bailey  said  his  confinement  was  an  obstruction  to 
the  raising  of  the  money,  and  that  if  he  was  at  liberty  he 
might  borrow  some.  The  Secretary  brought  an  answer, 
that  the  Prince,  in  consideration  of  his  age,  if  he  would 
give  him  his  word  and  honour  to  fetch  him  ,^2,500  in  two 
hours  or  surrender  himself  a  prisoner,  consented  he  should 
have  his  liberty  so  long.  This  Mr.  Bailey  agreed  to,  and 
went  to  the  coffee-house  where  a  great  number  of  the 
inhabitants  were;  and  it  being  proposed  that  Mr.  Bailey 
and  Mr.  Dickinson  should  give  promissary  notes,  payable 
in  three  months,  to  such  as  would  lend  any  money;  it 
was  agreed  to,  and  the  money  being  thereby  procured 
was  paid  about  two  o'clock. "^ 

Dr.  Byrom's  journals  give  a  similiar  account  of  the 
matter,  though  it  has  been  said  by  some  writers  that  Mr. 
Bayley  was  seized  by  the  rebels  when  on  their  way  to 
Derby,  and  that  he  was  not  released  until  their  retreat. 
Mr.  Bayley  is  sometimes  described  as  of  Hope  Hall,  but 
it  is  doubtful  if  he  ever  resided  there.  As  late  as  1744 
Mr.  Thomas  Bradshaw  is  given  in  a  list  of  ley  payers  as 
the  occupant  of  Hope.^  There  is  no  doubt  that  for  the 
greater  part  of  his  life  he  resided  in  Bayley's  Court, 
Market  Place.  His  house  there  is  no  longer  standing, 
but  Mr.  John  Owen  saw  it  in  1864,  and  has  kindly  given 
me  this  description:  "At  the  bottom  of  this  Court  is  a 
tolerably  large  house  of  brick,  three  stories  in  height,

exclusive  of  the  cellar,  the  stories  being  divided  by  a  couple 
of  plain  stone  string-courses.  The  front  has  five  windows 
to  each  story,  except  the  lower  one,  which  has  the  door- 
way in  the  centre  under  a  round  arch ;  the  windows  have 
flat  arches  of  brick,  and  appear  to  be  twice  as  long  as 
broad.  In  some  of  them  are  the  original  framework, 
having  a  central  mullion  or  stanchion  with  a  transom  in 
the  upper  part.  The  eaves  project  considerably,  sup- 
ported by  brackets,  and  immediately  underneath  is  a 
border  of  ornamental  plaisterwork.  The  base  of  the 
building,  to  a  height  of  about  three  feet,  is  of  stone  and 
weathered.  On  the  leaden  spout  which  is  against  the  face 
of  the  building  is  the  following  inscription,  I-^S  1707, 
the  initials  of  James  and  Sarah  Bayley.  The  entrance 
leads  to  a  square  oak  staircase,  and  the  internal  walls 
are  of  timber  and  plaister."  James  Bayley  died  on  the 
6th  April,  1753,  and  was  buried  in  the  north  aisle  of  the 
chancel  of  the  Collegiate  Church. 

James  Bayley  married  on  3rd  January,  1698,  Sarah, 
daughter  of  Samuel  Kirkes,  of  Chester.  Mrs.  Bayley 
was  buried  8th  January,  1719-20,  at  the  Collegiate 
Church. 

The  children  of  James  and  Sarah  Bayley  were: — 

1.  Daniel,  of  whom  presently. 

2.  Samuel,  bap.  i6th  December,  1701;  bur.  at  Collegiate

of  Manchester,  merchant,  and  one  of  the  trustees  of  Cross 
Street   Chapel.      From  this   marriage   descended,    amongst

Daniel  Bayley,  of  Hope  Hall,  eldest  son  of  James 
and  Sarah  Bayley,  was  born  13th  October,  1699.  He 
seems  to  have  been  at  an  early  age  associated  with  his 
father  in  business,  and  in  1721  was  one  of  the  under- 
takers for  making  the  rivers  Mersey  and  Irwell  navigable. 
It  is  probable  that  he  retired  while  still  a  young  man. 
In  1732,  when  he  was  described  as  "gentleman,"  he  was 
appointed  a  trustee  of  Cross  Street  Chapel,  where  he  was 
a  regular  attendant,  and  remained  in  the  trust  until  his 
death.  In  June,  1749,  Daniel  Bayley  went  to  reside  at 
Hope  Hall,  in  the  parish  of  Eccles,  a  property  which  had 
belonged  to  his  distant  kinsfolk  the  Bradshaws,  and  a 
few  years  later  rebuilt  it  on  the  old  foundations.  He  is 
said  to  have  been  a  deputy-lieutenant  for  the  county,^ 
and  he  served  occasionally  as  a  grand  juryman  at  the 
Lancaster  assizes.  He  took  an  interest  in  science,  and 
under  his  auspices  and  on  his  estate  Samuel  Smethurst 
and  Peter  Clare  observed  in  1761  the  transit  of  Venus. 
Eight  years  later  the  hall  was  again  placed  at  their 
disposal  for  a  similar  purpose  by  Daniel  Bayley's  son. 
Daniel   Bayley  was   an   energetic  Dissenter;    his  name

appears  first  of  those  appended  to  the  circular  calling  the 
first  general  meeting  for  the  foundation  of  the  Warring- 
ton Academy,  and  he  gave  ;^ioo  to  be  held  on  the  same 
trusts  as  the  ;f500  which  had  been  given  by  his  wife's 
grandmother,  Ann  Butterworth,  for  binding  apprentice 
the  children  of  poor  Protestant  Dissenting  ministers  and 
decayed  tradesmen.  He  died  14th  May,  1764,  and  is 
said  to  have  been  buried  in  a  vault  he  had  made  in  Hart's 
Hill  Meadow,  behind  Hope  Hall,  and  to  have  been  sub- 
sequently interred  in  the  family  vault  in  Eccles  Church. 
In  opposition  to  this  it  is  stated  by  Sir  Thomas  Baker-'- 
that  he  was  buried  in  Cross  Street  Chapel,  where  "the 
words  on  the  stone  are  not  'In  memory  of,'  &c.,  but 
'Here  lie  the  remains  of,'  &c." 

Daniel  Bayley  was  twice  married.  His  first  wife, 
whom  he  married  in  1717,^  was  Elizabeth,  daughter  and 
coheiress  of  Nathaniel  Gaskell,  of  Manchester.  Mrs. 
Bayley's  two  sisters  married  respectively  Hugh,  eleventh 
Lord  Sempill,  and  Richard  Chve,  M.P.,  of  Styche.  Mrs. 
Clive's  son,  Robert,  afterwards  the  celebrated  Lord  Clive, 
lived  for  several  years  with  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Daniel  Bayley, 
at  Manchester,  and  was  trained  and  educated  by  Mr. 
Bayley  as  though  he  had  been  his  own  son.  At  the  end 
of  1728  the  little  fellow,  then  only  two  years  old,  had  a 
dangerous  attack  of  fever,  on  which  occasion  Mr.  Bayley 
wrote  to  Styche:  "Thank  God,  I  do  now  inform  you 
that  Bob  continues  better,  and  is  in  a  very  likely  way  to 
recover.      We  hope  that  the  crisis  of  the  fever  was  on

Saturday  last,  about  noon,  it  having  abated  ever  since. 
His  exceeding  patience  is  also  exchanged  for  as  eminent 
a  degree  of  crossness,  which  we  take  as  a  good  omen  of 
his  mending.  I  am  writing  this  close  to  his  bedside,  and 
he  is  crying  with  the  greatest  impatience  for  me  to  be  on 
the  bed  with  him ;  nor  will  he  be  quiet  one  moment,  with 
all  the  line  words  I  can  give  him,  which  now  makes  me 
conclude  abruptly."  Young  Clive  had  a  relapse,  but  by 
January  he  was  well  again,  and  "  with  some  reluctance 
suffered  his  Aunt  Bay  to  go  to  Chapel."  The  chapel  here 
mentioned  is  the  Presbyterian,  now  Unitarian,  Chapel  in 
Cross  Street,  Manchester,  at  which  the  Bayley  family 
were  at  that  time  regular  attendants,  and  of  which 
Nathaniel  Gaskell,  Clive's  grandfather,  was  one  of  the 
founders,  and  is  named  first  in  the  earliest  trust  deed.  In 
1732  Mr.  Bayley  wrote:  "I  hope  I  have  made  a  little 
further  conquest  over  Bob,  and  that  he  regards  me  in 
some  degree  as  well  as  his  Aunt  Bay.  He  has  just  had  a 
new  suit  of  clothes,  and  promises  by  his  reformation  to 
deserve  them.  I  am  satisfied  that  his  fighting  (to  which 
he  is  out  of  measure  addicted)  gives  his  temper  a  fierce- 
ness and  imperiousness,  and  he  flies  out  upon  trifling 
occasion ;  for  this  reason  I  do  what  I  can  to  suppress  the 
hero,  that  I  may  help  forward  the  valuable  qualities  of 
meekness,  benevolence,  and  patience.  I  assure  you,  sir, 
it  is  a  matter  of  concern  to  us,  as  it  is  of  importance  to 
himself,  that  he  may  be  a  good  and  virtuous  man,  to

that  the  worthy  uncle  was  unable  to  "suppress  the  hero" 
in  his  young  charge.  Long  afterwards,  when  Clive  was 
far  away  in  India,  his  thoughts  would  turn  back  to  his

pleasant  Lancashire  home,  to  the  unpretending  chapel 
frequented  by  his  Presbyterian  relatives,  to  his  juvenile 
encounters  and  battles,  and  to  all  the  other  circumstances 
that  made  him  sigh  for  what,  in  one  of  his  letters,  he  calls 
"dear,  delightful  Manchester."  In  another  letter  he 
says,  "  If  I  could  be  so  far  blest  as  to  revisit  again  my 
own  country,  but  more  especially  Manchester,  the  centre 
of  all  my  wishes,  and  all  that  I  could  hope  for  or  desire 
would  be  presented  before  me  in  one  view."  Mr.  Bayley 
lived  long  enough  to  see  Clive  the  most  famous  man  of 
his  age.  Mrs.  Bayley  died  26th  February,  1734-5,  in  her 
thirty-fifth  year,  and  on  the  12th  April  following  her  only 
child,  Elizabeth,  died,  aged  two.  Mother  and  child  were 
buried  in  the  Collegiate  Church,  Manchester. 

Mr.  Daniel  Bayley's  second  wife  was  Anne,  daughter 
and  coheiress  (with  her  sisters.  Lady  Hoghton  and  Mrs. 
Joddrell,  afterwards  the  Hon.  Mrs.  George  Sempill)  of 
Thomas  Butterworth,  of  Manchester,  gentleman,  by  his 
wife,  Frances,  daughter  of  Sir  Robert  Dukinfield,  baronet. 
Mr.  Butterworth's  father,  Thomas  Butterworth,  was  a 
leading  Manchester  merchant,  and  had  married  Ann 
Crowther,  a  niece  of  Sir  Edward  Mosley,  of  Hulme, 
knight,  and  a  cousin  of  Sir  Robert  Booth,  lord  chief  jus- 
tice of  the  common  pleas  in  Ireland.  Mrs.  Bayley  was 
born  25th  March,  1713,  and  was  married  24th  June, 
1736.  At  her  marriage  she  had  not  been  dealt  with 
by  father  so  generously  as  her  sister  Lady  Hoghton, 
who  had  a  marriage  portion  of  ;^8,ooo,  but  her  father^ 
who  died  in  1745,  by  his  will  dated  25th  December, 
1744,  made  further  provision  for  her,  as  is  shown  by 
the  following  abstracts:  "To  his  daughter  Anne  wife  of

Mrs.  Bayley  survived  her  husband  thirty  years.  In 
her  later  years  she  lived  in  a  house  at  the  corner  of  St. 
Ann's  Square  (on  the  site  now  occupied  by  Heywood's 
Bank),  which  had  been  her  father's.  Her  stately  manners 
made  such  an  impression  on  the  youttiful  mind  of  Samuel 
Hibbert  Ware,  the  antiquary,  whose  father  lived  opposite 
to  Mrs.  Bayley,  that  in  after  years  whenever  he  met  any 
severe-looking  old  lady  he  would  style  her  "  Madam 
Bayley."^  She  died  at  St.  Ann's  Square,  3rd  March, 
1795,  aged  eighty-two,  and  was  buried  at  Cross  Street.

V. 

Thomas  Butterworth  Bayley,  the  only  survivor  of 
the  children  of  Daniel  Bayley,  was  born  at  Manchester, 
20th  June,  1744,  and  was  educated  at  Edinburgh  Univer- 
sity. Shortly  after  succeeding  his  father,  he  was  sworn 
a  justice  of  the  peace  for  the  county  of  Lancaster,  and 
he  threw  himself  into  his  magisterial  work  with  great 
energy.  At  the  early  age  of  twenty-four  he  was  appointed 
high  sheriff,  and  for  a  number  of  years  he  acted  as  chair- 
man of  quarter  sessions,  and  as  receiver  of  duchy  rents. 
He  was  elected  F.R.S.,  i8th  February,  1773.  In  1774 
he  offered  himself  as  a  candidate  for  the  borough  of 
Liverpool,  but  did  not  go  to  the  poll.^ 

Of  course  so  prominent  a  magistrate  could  not  escape 
the  Rev.  Thomas  Seddon  when  he  was  looking  round  for 
victims  to  impale  in  the  Characteristic  Strictures.  Con- 
sequently he  appears  in  that  interesting  work,  published 
in  1779,  as  follows  : — 

"Thomas  B.  B — ley,  Esq.,  Hope. 
The  figure  of  Hope. 
"Among  the  various  attempts  of  this  artist  we  have 
not  seen  one  tolerable  performance.     Had  he  modestly

confined  himself  to  single  figures  he  might  probably  have 
been  more  successful;  to  represent  numbers  is  infinitely 
superior  to  his  powers.  We  cannot,  however,  give  him 
much  credit  for  this  figure ;  the  attitude  is  too  presump- 
tive for  Hope  and  the  cable  too  slender  for  the  weight  of 
the  anchor." 

And  in  a  foot  note  Seddon  says:  "His  ambition  has 
led  him  to  offer  himself  a  candidate  for  several  boroughs 
in  the  county,  but  these  and  many  other  examples  of 
Quixotism,  with  a  variety  of  curious  anecdotes,  will  be 
particularly  described  in  the  history  of  his  life,  which  is 
speedily  to  be  published."  Seddon  refers  to  him  again 
in  ironical  terms  in  the  dedication  of  a  seriiion  printed  in 
1780;  but  what  was  the  nature  of  the  quarrel  between 
the  clergyman  and  magistrate  I  have  not  been  able 
to   ascertain. 1      Bayley   took    part    in   all   the   patriotic 


lit  is  interesting  to  compare  the  three  following  dedications  to 
Buttervvorth  Bayley: — 

"To  Thomas  Butterworth  Bayley,  Esq.;  High-Sheriff  of  the  County 
Palatine  of  Lancaster,  the  following  Essay  is  with  the  highest  Respect, 
for  his  Distinguished  Abilities,  and  the  sincerest  Esteem,  for  his  Amiable 
Character,  inscribed  by  his  affectionate,  and  most  obedient  Servant 

"Thomas  Percival." 
(Percival's  Experiments  and  Observations  on  Water,  1769.) 

"To  Thomas  Butterworth  Bayley,  Esq.,  of  Hope, 
"Fellow  of  the  Royal  Society. 

"  Sir,— It  gives  me  the  highest  Satisfaction  and  Pleasure,  that  you  have 
condescended  to  receive  this  my  first  Essay  under  your  Protection.  And 
all  who  are  honoured  with  your  Friendship,  and  are  acquainted  with  your 
superior  knowledge  in  polite  and  useful  Learning,  in  which  you  have 
justly  included  the  Science  of  Numbers,  will  be  sensible  of  my  Happiness 
in  being  thus  permitted  to  address  you.

dilate  on  those  excellent  Qualifications,  adorned  with  the  utmost  Good- 
nature and  Humanity,  which  have  rendered  your  Character  so  con-

efforts  in  the  neighbourhood,  and  no  scheme  for  the 
amehoration  of  the  condition  of  the  people  was  carried 
out  without  his  assistance.  In  1782  he  was  Heutenant- 
colonel  of  the  Manchester  MiHtary  Association.  In  1797 
he  took  an  active  part  in  raising  the  Manchester  and 
Salford  Volunteers,  subscribing  twenty  guineas  towards 


Patron,  by  publicly  acknowledging  the  many  Favours  which  I,  however 
undeserving,  have  received  at  your  Hands,  and  which  I  shall  always 
remember  with  the  sincerest  gratitude. — I  am.  Sir,  your  most  obliged  and 
obedient  Servant,  "Henry  Clarke." 

(Dr.  Henry  Clarke's  Rationale  of  Circulating  Numbers,  1777.) 

"To  Thomas  Butterworth  Bayley,  Esq. 

"To  introduce  a  publication  of  a  political  nature  to  the  world,  under 
the  protection  of  a  Great  ]\Ian,  is  to  ensure  it  a  general  reading  by  the 
Publick. — I  therefore  humbly  dedicate  the  following  Declamation  to  my 
most  worthy  Friend,  Mr.  Bayley, — trusting  on  his  neighbourly  affection 
to  support  me  against  the  malignity  of  partial  Commentators,  or  the 
attacks  of  dissatisfied  Fanatics ;  and  I  am  the  more  inclined  to  confide  in 
this  expectation,  from  the  many  observations  made  upon  his  publick,  as 
well  as  private  Conduct,  both  which  declare  his  sincere  attachment  to  the 
King  and  dutiful  attention  to  the  privileges  of  the  Crown. 

"  As  a  Magistrate, — his  Worship  is  so  strenuous  a  defender  of  the  Laws, 
that  even  those  which  are  generally  esteemed  lenient, — when  dealt  out 
with  his  spirited  exertion, —  have  in  their  consequences, — by  moderate 
Men, — unwittingly  been  called  severe. 

"As  a  private  Gentleman,  he  is  so  indefatigable  to  rectify  every 
Grievance,  that  even  the  shadow  of  complaint  cannot  escape  him,  for  with 
becoming  activity  he  investigates  the  cupboard  of  every  cottager  in  his 
neighbourhood, — with  a  manifest  intention  to  suppress  Luxury  in  its 
infancy,  knowing  by  Family  experience,  that  AEs  in  presenti  perfectum 
format,  and  how  difficult  it  is  to  soar  above  the  loathsome  Habitation  of  a 
Cellar, — without  Temperance  and  Industry. 

"From  the  above  considerations  I  am  persuaded,  Mr.  Bayley  will  not 
be  displeased  with  this,  tho'  hasty  attempt  to  vindicate  the  rights  of 
rvlajesty,  and  to  give  evidence  against  the  Stratagems  of  Treason, 
especially  as  it  will  discover  to  him  a  wish, — to  follow  his  own  laudable 
example  of  extracting  another  Name  from  deep  obscurity. 

"  I  am  with  much  Gratitude,  for  the  unmerited  favours  Mr.  Bayley  has 
so  repeatedly  conferred  upon  me,  his  most  oblig'd  and  very  humble 
Servant,

the  initial  expenses/  and  becoming  colonel  of  the  regi- 
ment on  its  embodiment.  The  work  in  which  he  took 
the  greatest  interest,  however,  was  the  improvement  of 
prisons.  An  earnest  disciple  of  John  Howard,  he  became 
convinced  of  the  necessity  for  a  prison  on  the  modern 
plan  to  replace  the  old  House  of  Correction,  which  was 
then  in  a  disgraceful  condition.  With  characteristic 
energy  he  overcame  all  opposition  to  his  project;  a  site 
was  selected,  and  in  1787  Mr.  Bayley  laid  the  first  stone 
of  the  New  Bayley  Prison. ^  In  1790  the  place  was 
finished,  but  when,  as  chairman  of  quarter  sessions,  Mr. 
Bayley  charged  the  grand  jury,  he  had  to  speak  of  the 
death  of  Howard  only  a  few  weeks  before  the  completion 
of  one  of  the  earliest  of  the  prisons  constructed  in  entire 
accordance  with  his  views.  The  name  of  the  prison 
has  excited  some  discussion  ;  the  question  in  dispute  is 
whether  it  is  called  the  New  Bailey  after  the  Old  Bailey 
in  London,  or  whether  it  owed  its  name  as  well  as 
existence  to  Mr.  Butterworth  Bayley.  That  during  Mr. 
Bayley's  lifetime  the  name  was  usually  spelled  as  he 
spelled  his  name  there  can  be  no  doubt,  but  it  is  equally 
certain  that  the  next  chairman  of  quarter  sessions,  who 
did  not  share  Mr.  Bayley's  political  views,  was  dis- 
inclined to  allow  the  honour  of  the  name  to  his  Whig 
predecessor,  and  always  insisted  that  the  gaol  was  named 
after  the  prison  in  London  and  not  after  Mr.  Bayley.^ 

In   1794,   the  grand  jury,   of  which   Mr.   Bayley  was 
foreman,  requested  the  high  sheriff  to  make  efforts  for

the  amelioration  of  the  condition  of  the  debtors  in 
Lancaster  Gaol.^  In  1796  Mr.  Bayley  was  elected 
president  of  the  newly-formed  Manchester  Board  of 
Health.-  Working  on  the  lines  of  a  plan  drawn  up  at 
his  request  by  Dr.  John  Ferriar,  the  board  established 
the  House  of  Recovery,  an  institution  now  amalgamated 
with  the  Royal  Infirmary.  Mr.  Bayley  was  one  of  the 
first  vice-presidents  of  the  Literary  and  Philosophical 
Society,^  and  was  the  first  promoter  of  the  Manchester 
Humane  Society  in  1791;  and  when,  in  1787,  a  society 
was  formed  in  Manchester  for  the  purpose  of  effecting 
the  abolition  of  the  slave  trade,  he  and  his  mother  were 
amongst  the  subscribers,  and  Mr.  Bayley  was  elected  a 
member  of  the  first  committee  of  the  society."*  It  is 
worth  mentioning  that  so  early  as  1788  Mr.  Bayley 
advocated  the  substitution  of  paid  constables  for  the 
then  universal  honorary  constables.-^ 

Mr.  Ba3dey's  leisure  was  devoted  to  agriculture,  and 
it  is  to  him  that  we  owe  the  elms  at  Hope  Hall.  He 
was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Manchester  x^gricultural 
Society,  and  was  awarded,  by  that  society,  several  pre- 
miums ;  and  he  was  an  honorary  member  of  the  Board  of 
Agriculture  in  London.  Thomas  B.  Bayley  was  the  author 
of  several  pamphlets,  principally  on  agricultural  topics,  a 
list  of  which  will  be  found  in  the  appendix.  Mr.  Bayley's 
religious  beliefs  were  broad.    He  was  from  1778  to  1802  a

trustee  of  Cross  Street  Chapel,^  and  he  was  also  a  vice- 
president  of  the  Warrington  Academy. ^  It  is  related  that 
on  the  occasion  of  the  presentation  of  colours  to  the 
regiment,  of  which  Mr.  Bayley  was  colonel,  there  was  a 
religious  service  at  St.  Ann's.  It  happened  to  be  St. 
Matthew's  Day,  when  the  Athanasian  Creed  is  appointed 
to  be  read  in  churches.  Mr.  Hall,  in  deference  to  the 
Presbyterian  colonel,  omitted  this  portion  of  the  service, 
an  action  which  lost  Mr.  Hall  the  chaplaincy  of  the 
Collegiate  Church,  which  became  vacant  about  that 
time.^  He  was  an  original  seatholder  and  trustee 
of  St.  John's,  Deansgate,  the  first  incumbent  of  which 
was  an  earnest  Swedenborgian.**  Mr.  Bayley  was  also 
an  attendant  at  Eccles  Church.  Charles  Hulbert,  in  his 
Memoirs  of  an  Eventful  Life,  says :  "I  remember  with 
reverence  that  w^orthy  magistrate,  chairman  of  the 
Salford  quarter  sessions,  Thomas  Butterworth  Bayley, 
Esq.  The  first  sermon  for  a  Sunday  school  that  I  ever 
heard  was  at  Eccles  Church,  when  the  justice  bare- 
headed took  his  place  at  the  church  door  with  his  box  in 
his  hand,  repeatedly  solicitin-g  the  congregation  as  it 
passed  him,  'To  remember  the  poor,'  'Do  remember  the 
poor.'" 

Thomas  Butterworth  Bayley  died,  from  mortification 
of  the  bowels,  at  Buxton,  on  24th  June,  1802,  and  was 
buried   at    Eccles,    and    in    the    parish    church    there   is

WHO    DIED    DECEMBEK    ZQTH,    I789.        AGED    SIXTEEN. 

When  loveliness  array'd  in  opening  Bloom, 

Framed  to  delight  the  Sense,  the  Heart  to  cheer. 

Sinks  earl}'  blasted  to  the  silent  Tomb, 

\Vho  can  suppress  the  Sigh,  restrain  the  Tear? 

Such  was  the  Treasure  lost,  these  lines  record; 

And  on  the  stone  perused  by  kindred  Eyes  , 

Long  shall  that  Name  in  faithful  memory  stored. 

Bid  Sorrows  flow,  and  keen  Regrets  arise. 

But  Faith  sheds  comfort  on  the  troubled  mind. 
And  Gratitude  recounts  what  once  was  given, 

To  Him  who  lent  it  be  the  Boon  resigned ! 

What  soul  too  spotless,  kind,  and  good  for  Heav'n?

residence  at  Trinity  College,  Cambridge,  and  in  1800  took 
the  degree  of  B.A.  and  was  first  prizeman  of  the  junior  and 
in  the  following  year  of  the  senior  bachelors.  He  was  then 
pronounced  by  Porson  to  be  the  first  Greek  scholar  of  his 
standing  in  England.  In  October,  1802,  he  was  elected 
fellow  of  his  college,  and  became  M.A.  in  the  following  year 
and  D.D.  in  1824.  He  was  ordained  by  Dr.  Majendie, 
bishop  of  Chester,  whose  chaplain  he  became.  He  shortly 
afterwards  became  preceptor  to  Mr.  W.  E.  Tomline,  son  of 
the  bishop  of  Lincoln,  and  received  from  the  bishop  the 
rectory  of  Stilton,  Huntingdonshire,  1804.  In  1805  he  was 
appointed  sub- dean  of  Lincoln,  and  prebend  of  Crackpool 
St.  Mary,  in  Lincoln  Cathedral,  and  was  installed  5th  July, 
1805.  In  1806  he  became  vicar  of  Hibaldstow,  Lincolnshire, 
and  in  181 1  rector  of  Messingham  with  Bottesford.  On 
going  to  Lincoln  Bayley  found  that  one  of  the  towers  was 
unsafe,  and  had  it  taken  down;  and,  as  the  other  tower  was 
now  thought  to  be  out  of  place,  that  also  was  removed.  The 
alterations  caused  considerable  ill  feeling  towards  the  new 
sub-dean.  Mr.  Bayley  also  had  numerous  monuments  that 
disfigured  the  walls  of  the  cathedral  removed,  and  placed  in 
a  small  chapel,  thus  restoring  some  of  its  pristine  beauty  to 
the  interior  of  the  cathedral.  Acting  on  Dr.  Bayley's  advice, 
the  Chapter  sold,  from  the  Cathedral  Library,  some  Caxtons 
to  Dibdin  for  a  very  small  sum,  and  with  the  proceeds  pur- 
chased "more  useful"  books.  Dr.  Bayley  established  a  joint- 
stock  library  in  Lincoln,  and  in  181 3  founded  some  schools 
on  the  Madras  system.  At  Messingham  he  made  numerous 
improvements  and  alterations  in  the  church.  He  purchased 
from  the  Manchester  Collegiate  Church,  then  undergoing 
extensive  "improvements,"  some  stained-glass  windows, 
Avhich  he  placed  in  Messingham  Church.  In  1823  he  became 
archdeacon  of  Stow,  and  in  1826  rector  of  Westmeon  with 
Privet,  Hampshire,  resigning  at  the  same  time  his  living  at 
Messingham.  Simday  was  the  favourite  day  of  the  Hamp- 
shire  villagers  for  playing  cricket,   and  this  desecration  of

the  Lord's  Day  Dr.  Baylcy  endeavoured  in  his  own  parish  to 
summarily  put  a  stop  to ;  but  this  aroused  the  anger  of  the 
parishioners.  He  then  tried  other  methods;  he  estabHshed  a 
Sunday  afternoon  service,  but  this  only  delayed  Sunday 
playing  until  a  little  later  in  the  day,  as  the  farm  boys 
brought  their  bats  under  their  smocks  and  left  them  in  the 
porch  during  service,  after  which  they  proceeded  to  the 
village  green  and  began  playing.  Dr.  Bayley  then  induced 
the  farmers  to  allow  their  labourers  several  hours  on  the  week- 
days for  the  game,  and  he  had  the  satisfaction  of  thus  having 
abolished  what,  though  Sunday  recreation  had  been  by  no 
means  discouraged  by  the  early  English  reformers,  he  con- 
sidered to  be  a  profanation  of  the  Christian  Sabbath.  In 
1828  he  exchanged  the  sub-deanery  of  Lincoln  for  a  canonry 
of  Westminster.  He  died  12th  August,  1844,  and  was  bur. 
at  Westmeon.  The  following  passage  from  a  MS.  note  by 
Archdeacon  Bonney,  in  a  copy  of  Archdeacon  Bayley's 
"Charge,"  formerly  in  the  possession  of  Mr.  J.  E.  Bailey,  is 
worth  quoting:  "  In  person  he  [Dr.  Bayley]  was  of  the  middle 
size,  inclining  at  one  time  to  corpulency.  His  countenance 
was  full  and  expressive  of  benevolence;  his  manner  good- 
humoured,  sprightly,  and  friendly,  mixed  often  with  a  vein 
of  drollery  which  enlivened  the  spirits  of  his  companion. 
He  was  earnest  in  his  rehgion  without  affectation,  and  a  true 
member  of  the  Church  of  England,  spending  large  sums  out 
of  his  own  income  in  her  cause,  particularly  towards  refitting 
of  the  church  at  Messingham  and  a  new  church  in  his  parish 
of  Westmeon,  which  was  nearly  completed  at  the  time  of 
his  decease.  In  the  last  years  of  his  life  he  became  blind 
and  infirm,  and  died  of  natural  decay  without  a  pang  or 
sigh."  Archdeacon  Bayley  married,  at  Eccles,  17th  June, 
1S07,  Hannah,  second  daughter  of  James  Touchet,  of  Broom 
House,  to  whom  he  was  related,  her  grandmother  having 
been  a  daughter  of  James  Bayley,  senior.  Mrs.  Bayley 
died,  without  issue,  17th  June,  1839,  and  was-  bur.  at 
Westmeon.

Civil  Service  in  1842.  He  commenced  his  official  career 
at  Allahabad,  and  subsequently  held  appointments  at 
Meerut,  Bulandshahr,  and  Rohtak.  On  the  annexation 
of  the  Panjab,  he  was  appointed  a  deputy-commissioner, 
and  entered  on  his  duties  at  Gujarat  in  1849.  In  the 
same  year  he  became  under-secretary  to  the  Government 
of  India  in  the  Foreign  Department.  In  1851  he  was 
appointed  deputy-commissioner  of  the  Kangra  district  of 
the  Punjab,  but  in  1854  ill-health  compelled  him  to  take 
furlough  in  England.  He  was  called  to  the  Bar  in  1857, 
and,  shortly  after  the  outbreak  of  the  Mutiny,  returned 
to  India,  and  was  ordered  in  September,  1857,  to  Allaha-

long  career  in  India,  Sir  E.  Clive  Bayley  was  a  devoted 
friend  of  the  natives,  and  in  all  the  different  posts  he 
held  their  welfare  was  his  chief  object.  During  his 
leisure  hours  he  studied  deeply  the  history  of  the  people : 
their  traditions,  their  literature,  their  arts,  and  their 
archaeology,  and  became  the  chief  authority  on  the 
numismatic  history  of  India.  Sir  Edward  Clive  Bayley

Society,  and  was  for  five  years  vice-chancellor  of  the

B.— WILLIAM    BUTTERWORTH    BAYLEY   AND 
HIS    DESCENDANTS. 

VI. 

William  Butterworth  Bayley  (twelfth  child  of 
Thomas  Butterworth  Bayley,  F.R.S.),born  3rd  November, 
1781,  and  baptized  at  his  grandmother's  house  in  Man- 
chester, 7th  January,  1782.  He  was  educated  at  Winwick 
and  Eton,  and  went  to  Trinity  College,  Cambridge  1798. 
On  18th  June,  1799,  he  sailed  for  Bengal,  having  obtained 
an  appointment  in  the  Bengal  Civil  Service;  and,  on 
reaching  India,  was  entered  as  a  member  of  the  new 
College  of  Fort  William,  which  Lord  Wellesley  had  just 
established  for  the  education  of  the  Indian  civil  servants. 
Of  the  College  of  Fort  William  Mr.  Bayley  was  one  of 
the  most  distinguished  alumni.  In  1800  he  took  a  second 
prize  in  the  third  class  for  Hindustani,  and  in  1802 
proved  his  talent  for  languages  by  being  in  the  first  class 
in  Persian.  On  completing  his  college  course  he  was 
selected  by  the  Governor-General  for  the  confidential 
duties  of  his  own  office.  Here,  in  company  with  Met- 
calfe and  others  of  the  cleverest  of  the  young  civil 
servants,  Mr.  Bayley  learned  the  art  of  government  under 
Lord  Wellesley's  eye.  He  decided  to  confine  himself  to 
the  routine  of  judicial  and  revenue  work.  In  1805  he 
was  made  deputy-registrar  of  the  Sudder  Court,  and  in 
1807  interpreter  to  the  commission  for  regulating  the 
government  and  land  settlement  of  the  North-Western 
Provinces.  In  1809  he  was  appointed  judge  at  Dacca 
Jalalpur;    in    1810,   judge   at   Bardwan;    and,    in    1814, 


THE  BAYLEY  FAMILY.  J3 

fourth  judge  of  the  Provincial  Court  of  Appeal,  first  at 
Bareilly  and  then  at  Dacca.  In  1814  he  entered  the 
secretariat  as  secretary  to  the  Revenue  and  Judicial 
departments,  and  in  i8ig  became  chief  secretary  to  the 
Government,  in  which  capacity  he  was  of  the  greatest 
service  to  Lord  Hastings.  In  1822  he  temporarily  filled 
a  seat  at  the  council,  and  in  1825  became  a  regular 
member  of  the  Supreme  Council.  In  1828  he  filled  the 
office  of  governor-general  of  India  from  March  13th  to 
4th  July,  when  he  became  president  of  the  Board  of 
Trade.  He  returned  to  England  April,  183 1,  and  retired 
from  the  Company's  service  ist  May,  1834.  Mr.  Bayley 
was  elected  a  director  of  the  East  India  Company  23rd 
July.  1833,  and  remained  a  director  until  1854,  i"  which 
year  he  declined  nomination  as  a  permanent  director. 
He  was  deputy-chairman  in  1839,  and  chairman  of  the 
court  in  1840.  Mr.  W.  B.  Bayley  died  at  St.  Leonards- 
on-Sea,  20th  May,  i860.  Mr.  Bayley's  work,  though 
perhaps  not  so  conspicuous  as  that  of  his  contemporaries, 
Lord  Metcalfe  or  Jenkins,  was  no  less  important,  and  it 
was  due  entirely  to  his  unobtrusive  modesty  that  he 
received  no  titular  distinction  or  reward  for  his  services. 
William  Butterworth  Bayley,  married,  February,  1809, 
at  Calcutta,  Anne  Augusta,  daughter  of  William  Jackson, 
registrar  of  the  Supreme  Court,  Calcutta,  and  solicitor  to 
the  Hon.  East  India  Company.  She  was  born  January,

56  THE  BAY  LEY  FAMILY. 


NOTES 


1.  AutJioriiies. — This  pedigree  of  the  Bayley  family  is  founded 
to  some  extent  on  a  MS.  pedigree  compiled  by  the  Rev. 
Joseph  Hunter,  from  the  information  of  Mr.  Gamaliel  Lloyd, 
and  now  in  the  British  Museum  (Add.  MSS.  24,  458,  f.  66), 
which  has  been  recently  printed  by  the  Harleian  Society, 
and  with  a  few  additions  by  the  late  Mr.  Croston  in  his 
edition  of  Baines's  History  of  Lancashire.  Additional  facts  as 
to  the  early  generations  are  taken  from  the  MSS.  of  Mr. 
John  Owen,  from  an  unpublished  pedigree  compiled  by  Mr. 
John  Eglington  Bailey,  from  Mr.  J.  Fred  Beever's  paper  in 
Local  Gleanings,  i.  103,  166,  from  the  Manchester  Court  Leet 
Records  and  Constable's  Accounts,  and  from  a  pedigree  in 
the  Piccope  MSS.  in  Chetham's  Library.  The  facts  con- 
cerning the  later  generations  have  been  obtained  from  the 
members  of  the  family  who  are  named  in  the  preface. 

2.  Origin  of  the  Family. — I  have  been  unable  to  trace  the 
family  beyond  the  seventeenth  century.  The  name  was  by  no 
means  uncommon  in  Lancashire  and  Cheshire  at  that  time. 
A  family  tradition,  dating  apparently  from  the  date  of 
Thomas  Butterworth  Bayley's  stay  in  Edinburgh,  that  the 
Bayleys  were  descended  from  a  cadet  of  the  Baillies  of 
Linlithgowshire,  does  not  seem  to  have  any  foundation  in 
fact,  the  family  having  been  established  in  Manchester  long 
before  the  date  assigned  for  the  migration.  Mr.  J.  E.  Bailey 
was  of  opinion  that  Thomas  Bayley,  the  first  known  member 
of  the  family,  was  a  native  of  the  neighbourhood  of  Black- 
burn, but  I  do  not  know  on  what  authority  he  based  his 
opinion.  It  is  worth  mentioning  that  the  unusual  spelling  of 
the  name  is  not  a  recent  adoption,  but  has  always  been  used 
by  the  members  of  the  family  since  the  time  of  Thomas 
Bayley,  who  died  in  1688.
