Two Letters to James Jacks by Robert Wissett features a pair of formal pamphlet letters from Robert Wissett, a magistrate in Camberwell, addressing a vestry dispute. The first letter, dated September 20, 1819, defends the magistrate's conduct regarding parish officer appointments, surveyors of the highways, and expenditures charged to the Poor Rates, while offering explanations for perceived irregularities. The second letter, dated October 14, 1819, records the vestry’s resolutions and the magistrates’ stance on legal authority, the propriety of clerical allowances at the workhouse, and the broader governance of Camberwell. The text also discusses historical disputes over funding, local Acts, and the balance of power between vestries and magistrates, providing an insightful glimpse into early 19th-century local governance, legal procedures, and political contention in parish administration.
