5 Dr Flint mentions that in October 1879 Bishop Crowther reported rumours ‘that the Company is contemplating to get a Charter of the Niger trade to the exclusion of others entering’. In March of that year the promoters of the Borneo Company had held a public dinner to enlist support for their project, and in his history of the Borneo Company Professor Tregonning states that Goldie's ‘personal friendship with Sir Rutherford Alcock and his business acquaintanceship with Alfred Dent’ helped him to get his Charter but does not cite his evidence (Under Chartered Company Rule (Singapore, 1958), p. 30). Might not this throw light on how far Goldie's ideas about a Charter ante-dated the actual grant of the Borneo Charter?Google Scholar
