. However closely thetrade secrets are watched over, there are clever,enterprising rivals, who are on the prowl, and whotake the first opportunity to turn their information toprofitable account. John Turner, of Lane End, does not appear tohave got a recruit from Caughley, but Dr. Shaw sayshe managed to procure a printer named Underwood,from Worcester—probably the same man who workedfor Holdship at Derby. The Lane End potter wasfirst in Staffordshire to employ a blue printer (sic)who damped the paper for the transfers. Then, therewere ••Wm. Adams, of Greengates, in 1787, and;Thomas Minton, in 1793, who both made superiorunderglaze blue ware. The following is a summary ofthe Staffordshire development:— I. WiUiam Adams, of Cobridge, as a manu-facturer, first introduced (in 1775) transferprinting into Staffordshire, both by bat andpaper overglaze process. *Vide William Adams, an Old English Potter, p. 37.+ Vide Shaws History of Staffordshire Potteries, p. 225. 78 Plate No. XXVIII.

Mr. Baddeley, of Shelton, in 1777, triedthe bat process, and some time after thathe appears to have worked at the paper transferfor both over and underglaze, but the dates arenot given. 3. John Turner, of Lane End, w^ould appearto be the first to produce a blue underglaze inStaffordshire. We must, therefore, put him downas the third on record in Staffordshire to succeedin any kind of transfer printing. 4. Josiah Spode, of Stoke, followed with hiswillow pattern about 1784 —underglaze, ofcourse. He may have done overglaze in 1783,with his Caughley recruits, but there is no record. 5. John Yates, of Shelton, was very likely tobe doing the same thing, as he, too, had procureda transfer printer from Caughley in 1783. (Regarding Mr. Humphrey Palmer, of Hanley,and his employment of Rothwell, the engraver, itis impossible to fix the date or to say what wasreally accomplished). 6. Josiah Wedg
