Oriel College - EH has placed WW's note and recommendation of Mr Hope in the hands of the Vice Chancellor [see EH to WW, 18 May 1847]. Would WW call to the attention of the Cambridge Vice Chancellor the 'Clergy Offences Bill', presented by the Bishop of London: 'I do not know whether your Vice Chancellor has any Ecclesiastical authority, as the V.C. of Oxford has, this University being exempt from the jurisdiction of the Bishop of the Diocese. But if your case is like ours, you may see cause to endeavour to procure the insertion of a clause saving your privileges'.
