Chairman A.D. 1864 In recognition of his Ability, Courtesy and successful exertions in the Conduct of the important Business of the Committee and as a Testimonial to the Value of the Services rendered by him to His Fellow Citizens'.
The later coats-of-arms are those of the City of London and Philipps for Richard Nathaniel Philipps, the son of the Non-Conformist minister Rev. Dr. Nathaniel Philipps. Richard was destined for the church but he was later drawn to the law and was called to the bar in 1841. He resided for the most part in London but served as a magistrate in west Yorkshire.
