New Coll., matric. 31 Oct, 1832, aged 18 ; fellow 1832-51, B.A. 1836, M.A. 1840, of Normanby, co. York, J.P., bar.-at-law, Inner Temple, 1839." The research of Ted Hill shows that this entry appears to confuse the careers of two men, both named James Hill, who must have been contemporaries at Oxford. The entry is correct save for the statement ". . . of Normanby, co. York, J.P. . . .".
