In 1805 Sara Bace, aged 21 was discharged as incapable of receiving instruction after 2 months; and Robert Bird, aged only 12, was given a three month trial but discharged as being incapable of instruction. On the other hand, Robert Watts, aged 21, his father being a man of good property and wishing him to be taken in for instruction, paid £20 a year for his board, and was discharged after almost two years as being capable of working on his own account.
