The Janitor, Rev. John Bilstone, M.A., was deprived of his office by Dr.
Owen, the Librarian, on account of his neglecting to perform his duties
in person. An action for arrears of salary was subsequently brought by
Bilstone against Owen[258]. He died Feb. 13, 1767, at which time he held
three livings, besides his Chaplaincy of All Souls' College.
