At the end of this term, as Mr Marshall had signified his intention of giving up the house, which he had directed for 21 years, he was presented with a testimonial subscribed to solely by Grantites (Q.S. + T.B.) at present in the school. The testimonial consisted of a bronze clock & candelabra and a silver inkstand bearing the inscription
“ Viro Reverendo, J. Marshall, M. A.
Scholae Westmonasteriensis Magister
Dono dabant
Pietatis ergo
In Amicum, Tutorem, Patrem
Nuperrime sub faustis nutriti penetralibus”
Mr Marshall expressed himself as much pleased with this mark of our respect.
