Mr. Hews started in business as an ironmonger about forty-five years age at Ottery St. Mary, Devonshire, in which town he remained for nearly twenty years. He then acquired an ironmongery business at Ipswich, but about twelve months later moved to Loughborough, Leicestershire, in which town he carried on business as an ironmonger until about eighteen years ago, when he sold his business' and entered into partnership with Mr. Ison, of Ashby-de-la-Zonch, as metal trades’ valuers and auctioneers.
