ABSTRACT
When the Montroyal arrived into Liverpool on the 29th May 1925, on the ship’s passenger list Jenks’ ‘country of intended permanent residence’ was given as ‘England’, but an additional annotation of the letters ‘NZ’ may indicate equivocation on his part. His occupation was given as ‘farmer’, which certainly signified desire rather than fact.1 He travelled on to his parents’ home at 19 Campden Hill Road, Kensington.2 Although Edward Jenks had concluded his service with the Law Society the previous year, he had not escaped the capital’s grip, having been headhunted for the Chair of English Law at the London School of Economics, by its Director, his old student Sir William Beveridge.3
