Casket of Paisley Address to the Right Hon. Sir R. A. Cross, M.P., 1883. 'The Right Hon. Sir Richard Assheton Cross, M.P., when he visited Paisley the other day, was presented with the civic freedom of that burgh; and our Illustration shows the ornamental casket in which his certificate of that honour was contained. It was manufactured by the Goldsmiths' and Silversmiths' Company, of 112, Regent-street, London. This casket bears on the front and back, respectively, views of the "George A. Clark Townhall," and of the Abbey at Paisley. At each end are views of the Fountain gardens and of the Free Library and Museum. These are executed in the finest repousse work. The lid is surmounted with the arms of Paisley and those of Sir Richard Cross, and bears the following inscription: "Presented to the Right Hon. Sir Richard Assheton Cross, G.C.B., D.C.L., M.P., with the Freedom of the Burgh of Paisley, Nov. 9, 1883".' From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
