18TH CENTURY PERFORMANCE BOND: PARRAT, MIRIAM (MARY); PARRAT, ROBERT .

Performance Bond: Folded paper document: Mariam (Mary) Parrat of Broadwater Sussex and Robert Parrat, West Hanning, Suffolk, Farmer.

4th August, 1717. 0. Performance Bond: Folded paper document: Mariam (Mary) Parrat of Broadwater Sussex and Robert Parrat, West Hanning, Suffolk, Farmer.. 4th August 1717 . Hand written in Latin and English. Remains of red wax seal, a few edge tears and one small hole. ** "A performance bond is a surety bond issued by an insurance company or a bank to guarantee satisfactory completion of a project by a contractor. A job requiring a payment & performance bond will usually require a bid bond, to bid for the job. When the job is awarded to the winning bid, a payment and performance bond will then be required as a security to the job completion. For example, a contractor may cause a performance bond to be issued in favor of a client for whom the contractor is constructing a building. If the contractor fails to construct the building according to the specifications laid out by the contract (most often due to the bankruptcy of the contractor), the client is guaranteed compensation for any monetary loss up to the amount of the performance bond. Performance bonds are commonly used in the construction and development of real property, where an owner or investor may require the developer to assure that contractors or project managers procure such bonds in order to guarantee that the value of the work will not be lost in the case of an unfortunate event (such as insolvency of the contractor). In other cases, a performance bond may be requested to be issued in other large contracts besides civil construction projects. The term is also used to denote a collateral deposit of "good faith money", intended to secure a futures contract, commonly known as margin. Performance bonds are generally issued as part of a 'Performance and Payment Bond', where a Payment Bond guarantees that the contractor will pay the labour and material costs they are obliged to. Under the Miller Act of 1932, all Construction Contracts issued by the Federal Government must be backed by Performance and Payment Bonds. States have enacted what is referred to as “Little Miller Act” statutes requiring Performance and Payment bonds on State Funded projects as well. Performance bonds have been around since 2,750 BC and the Romans developed laws of surety around 150 AD, the principles of which still exist." - See Wikipedia .

Twiss was born at Bath, Somerset, the son of Francis Twiss (1760–1827) and his wife Frances née Kemble (sister of Sarah Siddons née Kemble). He was a Shakespearian scholar. In his youth he wrote light articles for newspapers; he became a successful lawyer and was appointed a Queen's Counsel in 1827. In 1820 he was elected to Parliament, where, with some interruptions, he sat until 1841, holding the office of Under-Secretary of State for War and the Colonies in 1828–1830. In 1844 he was appointed vice-chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, a well-paid post which enabled him to enjoy his popularity in London society. For some years he wrote for The Times, in which he first compiled the parliamentary summary, and his daughter married first Francis Bacon (d. 1840) and then J. T. Delane, both of them editors of that paper. He was the author of The Public and Private Life of Lord Chancellor Eldon, and other volumes. He died suddenly in London on 4 May 1849, aged 62. He was survived by his son, Quintin Twiss." - See Wikipedia.
