IX. That whensoever, and as often as any person shall have occasion to
consult or inspect any book, charter, deed, or other manuscript for
evidence or information, other than for studying, which is herein
before provided for; he is to apply for leave so to do, to the
Trustees in a general meeting, or the standing Committee. But if the
case should require such dispatch as that time cannot be allowed for
making such application, the person is to apply for such leave to the
principal Librarian; or, in case of his death or absence, such of the
under Librarians as shall officiate as Secretary for the time being:
which leave the principal Librarian, or the under Librarian
officiating as Secretary for the time being, as aforesaid, is hereby
impowered to grant. Provided always, that no such person shall be
permitted to consult or inspect any such book, charter, deed, or other
manuscript, except in the presence of the principal Librarian, or of
one the principal officers of that department to which such book,
deed, charter, or other manuscript shall belong.
X. That no part of the collection or collections belonging to this
Museum, be at any time carried out of the general repository; except
such books, charters, deeds, or other manuscripts as may be wanted to
be made use of in evidence. And that when any such book, charter,
deed, or other manuscript shall be wanted to be made use of in
evidence, application shall be made in writing for that purpose, to
the Trustees in a general meeting, or the standing Committee: and if
the case should require such dispatch, as not to admit of an
application to the Trustees in a general meeting, or the standing
Committee, then to the principal Librarian; or in case of his death or
absence, then to such of the under Librarians as shall officiate as
Secretary for the time being: and thereupon by their or his direction,
the same shall and may be carried out of the general repository, to be
made use of as evidence as aforesaid, by the under Librarian or
assistant of the department to which such book, charter, deed, or
other manuscript shall belong. And in case the said under Librarian,
or assistant of the said department be disabled, or cannot attend;
then by such other of the under Librarians, or assistants, as shall be
appointed by the Trustees, in a general meeting, or the standing
Committee, or by the chief Librarian, or by such of the under
Librarians as shall officiate as Secretary for the time being
aforesaid. And the person who shall be appointed to carry out the
same, shall attend the whole time, and bring it back with him again;
for which extraordinary trouble and attendance it is expected that a
proper satisfaction be made to him.
