Acot 8.6.1805 at Jo(seph) G(odwin)'s

Godwin's brother Joseph was at one time a carpet salesman and Godwin had met John Smith of 13 Primrose St (qv) auctioneer and appraiser at his brother's. So this could well have been Christopher Acott appraiser 80 Barbican (Holdens 1807) apprenticed to Roger Tuff citizen & founder 1803, as son of William Acott carpenter & broker Southgate Middlesex (Sun Fire 1792). The only other Acott I found among London tradesmen of the time was Thomas Acott shoemaker 164 Oxford St (Sun Fire 1792)

HCR diary 24.11.1821

"Ewald Aders - a nephew of A: with a face somewhat Guelphish & therefore not intellectual has the manners of a gentleman and the air of a man of honour."

A son of Johann Jacob Aders (QV*) merchant in Leipzig married Karolina Tönnies (Sophia). See Aders family (QV*)

HCR diary 12.6.1824

"called on Aders who had proposed my being shares in the Rhenish West India Co - a compant managed by C C Becher but as a servant only - Aders' brother is one of the founders - The society is the more deserving credit, from its not being pretentious - They offer only 4% interest with a bonus occasionally"

The Rhenisch West-Indische Gesellschaft founded in 1821 by Johann Jakob Aders crashed in 1828, was liquidated in 1832 and shareholders received only 10% back in 1843.  For Carl Christian Becher (QV*).

The second entry above seems likely to have been Harry Adkins, police officer Bow-street public office (Holdens directory 1811 and in Old Bailey proceedings 1809 to 1819). So the first entry quite likely referred to him as well. A Harry Adkins was later keeper of Warwick gaol (1830s & 1840s)
