Pamphlet issued by Leake in support of his candidacy in the 1920 provincial election: front page

Pamphlet issued by Leake in support of his candidacy in the 1920 provincial election. The verso includes his manifesto addressed to the Electors of the Division of Troyeville (Johannesburg) and ends with the words: "I have the honour to be, Gentleman, Yours truly, Chas. H. Leake" indicating that it was only men that were entitled to vote at that time.

1907 - 1910 Wesleyan Church Trust record book containing loose items relating to the Wesleyan Trust and the Million Shilling fund-raising effort.
It would appear that the fund-raising effort mirrored that of a similar one in London at the same time. According to the letters and other records in the ledger, the intention of the local fund was aimed at a church to be built on the corner of Kerk and von Wielligh Streets in Johannesburg.
The full contents of the ledger have not been digitised.

1906 CHL Firearm licence
The licence was issued to Leake for a Hollis double-barreled shotgun, indicative of the safety atmosphere of the early years of Johannesburg.

1896 CHL Field Cornet certificate.
Issued at the time that Dutch was still used as the official language of the Transvaal Republic.
"The rank of field cornet (veldkornet) was used for the senior officer of a ward or sub-district in the independent republican states of the Transvaal and Oranje-Vrystaat in late 19th century South Africa. They were elected by the commandos of their ward for periods of three years." (Source: Wikipedia)
