Wyatt, Henry Currey and F. W. Porter, in a law case between Kerr and John Walter MP (1880); proposed changes in the law of Ancient Lights (1883); proposed new charter for the RIBA (1885-1886); suggests setting up four standing committees for the RIBA (Art, Science, Literature & Practice) each to be supported by a department (1885); gives details of his dispute with Lt. Col. Myles Sandys over his fees for work on Graythwaite Hall [Cumbria] (1885) and asks Council to investigate the conduct of Charles Barry Jnr and Henry Currey in the case of Kerr v.
