"On 15 August 1838 Lucy Bellingham, Thomas Barton's daughter, agreed with Frederic Ellman to take over the business for a period of 20 years. The agreement, among the firm's unlisted records, includes a schedule of clients, including Augustus Elliott Fuller of Rosehill in Brightling, Lord Ashburnham, Sir Peregrine Acland, Sir Charles Lamb, Sir Godfrey Webster, John Nicholl, John Cresset Pelham and George Darby of Markly in Warbleton, the clerkship of the Battle bench of magistrates, of four turnpike trusts and several commissioners of sewers; the profits of the business amounted to £1500 a year. The coronership had already been lost - the Earl of Chichester appointed Nathaniel Polhill Kell, another Battle attorney, on 19 April, and the lords of the other franchises followed suit in the course of the next two months."
