but at last he forgave them both, and restored them to the Foundation
About half a Year ago,, Chambres having received a bank note of
from his Mother (for his Father was not living) he made an Elopement
from the College. the Reason was, he did not like to be a Scholar,
and indeed it is no very desirable thing; for the fellows are very absolute
over them; and if it was not for the money and necessaries which
amount to (I believe) not above 10 £ a Year they would be no better
off (for the time that they are Scholars, than even the Servitors, and
they too are paid by every Commoner so much a Year for their attendance
at meals: besides a Scholar does not come to a Fellowship
till he has been at College 15 or 16 years or more for this reason
Chambre not liking his situation, went to London with his Money,
there lived for some time very comfortably; but at last his Mony being
almost gone, he was forced to decamp and go home after being having liked his
Taylor; in his journey he unexpectedly met with an Uncle of his, who
carried him home, to whom he told his Story, and at last got leave to co
and be a Commoner. he treated with the Vice-Chancellor from his own home
and would not have come if he could not have obtained leave to be a Commoner.
You see I am stinted for room now, and therefore cannot write all that I
would. I have received my Cloaths; you will soon receive the Verses
from Your dutiful and affectionate Son, Jeremy Bentham
