Three printed items relating to the Garrison Library, Gibraltar, including the 'Fundamental Laws' and 'Report of Special Committee appointed by resolution of the General Meeting of Members of the Garrison Library on March 16th, 1897.'

Gatty's annotations are of interest, considering his legal standing in Gibraltar, and his position as one of the Library's committee members. One: 'Report'. Two pages on the versos of a 4to bifolium. Very good on lightly-aged paper. Concerning the proposed 'establishment of a Club' within the Library, and concluding 'Generally we are of opinion that the above scheme is the best that can be suggested for upholding both institutions - the Library and the Club. The proposed agreement (i) may appear at first sight to entail a loss on the Library, but the loss it would suffer from the establishment of a Club outside would probably be far heavier, [...]'. Signed in type by Major-General F. Carrington; W. H. Rathborne; Stephen H. Gatty, C.J.; Herbert Marsh, R.N.; L. Barnes-Lawrence; and Joseph A. Patron. Addressed on reverse to 'His Honour S. H. Gatty Esqr Chief Justice'. Attached at the head of the first page is a 12mo leaf with one page reproducing the third and twentieth of the 'Fundamental Laws'. Two: Unbound stitched pamphlet (12mo, 17 pp) giving the 'Fundamental Laws'. In poor condition on aged paper with the first leaf loose. Two pages annotated by Gatty, and with several passages amended by later printed leaves being laid down on them. Three: printed receipt for Garrison Library subscription, filled in, signed and dated 3 November 1904. From the residue of Sir Stephen H. Gatty's papers.
