| Milk Street, Cheapside, seems to have been a major commercial centre. According to Kent's Directory for the Year 1794 (Cities of London and Westminster, & Borough of Southwark) several of the premises were used for commercial purposes. Number 21 (presumably next door to number 23) was a wholesale tea dealers run by Elton, Hammond & Parker. There was a button seller and a button manufacturer in the street. Harris & Venning, ribbon manufacturers, had premises at 37 Milk Street and Remington & Wilson silk manufacturers were at 30 Milk Street (Walter Brind 1763-1832 was in the silk trade). At 43 Milk Street there was a Men's Mercery Warehouse run by Lee & Jefferson. There was a warehouseman and interestingly at Clement's Court, Milk Street, there was a wine & brandy merchants run by M. Newbold. There were several other businesses in the various courts around Milk Street.

| In Charles' will we have mention of a cousin George Palmer and in the court case of 29 March 1792 Henry has a newphew William Palmer. I cannot see how they fit in. Perhaps they were relatives of his mother and aunt-- Mary and Susannah Brind (nee Sowley), the same applies of Mrs Caroline Mitchell (late IoW?). David Brind. |

| FINE ARTS
At Messrs. Christie and Manson's the many specimens of art which were, with equal taste and judgement, selected by the late Charles Brind, ESq., will shortly be sold. The sale commences on Thursday next, and does not conclude before Saturday. From the time which is will occupy the reader may form some notion of the value of the collection. It consists of many rare specimens of antiquity, and a number of pictures, which we advise all of our readers to see. To appreciate the worth of the gems something like knowledge is required; but to recognise the beauty of the paintings we do not imagine any learning can be needed. A more choice collection never came under out notice. The works are really beautiful, and should provoke the longing of all who profess to admire art. The majority of those by the old masters are specimens such as do not every day come into the market. Many of them have been engraved, and several has been exhibited at the British Institution. Of the genuineness of the paintings we allude to there is no reason to entertain a doubt. The things declare their authenticity by the merit they display. We see them not to question but to admire, and had we liberty to choose it would be difficult to point out the one we would give preference to. In size they are small being in dimensions even less than what are generally termed cabinet pictures, but in genius they are indeed large, and one of them would more adorn the apartment in which it hung than a larger work of ordinary character possibly could ornament it. In subject and in style they have a domestic aspect, and there is no place for which they would be unsuited. With one of two exceptions they belong to the Dutch school, and those which represent the talent of other countries are nevertheless of a character which harmonises with the leading attributes of the group. The subject are pleasing, and the taste they indicate is in other particulars borne out. We looked over the collection with delight, and cannot but imagine it will excite a lively competition, for it would be difficult to suppose so rare an opportunity would, by the wealthy, be allowed to ass without a struggle being made to secure some of the treasures it offers a chance of possessing. Unfortunately at this period of the year there are so many claims made upon the space at our command that we have no power to do full justice to all which falls under our notice. It would require more than a column of close print to describe even briefly the beauties of these works, for, on referring to our catalogue, we find nearly every one is marked as excellent. Consequently, not daring to assert which is the best where styles and subjects are various and talent in all exhibited, we shall content ourselves with a general expression of sincere admiration, advising our readers, whether they intend to purchase or not, to go and see the paintings, which will, we should conjecture, fetch rather unusual prices on Saturday next. Although this is undated, this is what Wikipedia says about the Bishop of Limerick:- Edmund Knox was an absentee Irish Bishop in the mid 19th century whose death at the height of the Irish Famine lead to a famously critical leading article in The Times. He was born in 1772, the 7th and youngest son of Thomas, 1st Viscount Northland and educated at Trinity College, Dublin. He was Dean of Down from 1817 to his elevation to the Episcopate as Bishop of Killaloe and Kilfenora in 1831. Translated to Limerick in 1834 he died in post on 3 May 1849. It seems likely that this was the auction of the goods of Charles Brind (1788-1848) and it took place in May 1849. |  |
The name Thomas Brind features in the penultimate column. 
The above comes from a volume in Google Books. It is an odd collection of archives from the session 21 April to 23 November 1820 that seems to have been deposited in the Bodleian Library, Oxford. One section contains a long complaint by Augustus Brown(e) about what seems to be the compulsory purchase of premises at Cheapside, St Martin-Le-Grand, Aldersgate Street, Saint Anne's Lane and Foster Lane by an Act of June 1815 designed to improve the area. Augustus Brown(e) goes before a Select Committee, presumably to complain about the way he has been dealt with. The section is headed APPENDIX TO REPORT FROM SELECT COMMITTEE ON THE INTENDED NEW POST-OFFICE LONDON. The following is just a sample of the rather complex text. |
