Administrative history
Francis Gunning qualified as an attorney in 1821 and set up practice on his own in Trumpington Street. In 1832 he took on an articled clerk, Clement Francis and when he qualified in 1838 they set up together to form Gunning and Francis. This ended in 1846 on the death of Francis Gunning. Clement Francis then worked as a sole practitioner, taking over the work of Christopher Pemberton in 1850, until he took on two partners in 1861 to form Francis Webster and Riches
