I am seeking a newspaper report probably 1989 on Elly Jansen of the
Richmond Felloship. The occasion was a Report by the UK Charity
Commission on the Richmond Fellowship (1989) detailing malfeasance on
the part of Elly Jansen the director.I believe the newspaper was
either the Guardian or the Observer.

Hello Bajan-ga, and thank you for your question.

Due to copyright restrictions, I cannot reproduce full newspaper
articles here.  However, I can certainly point you to quite a few
newspaper stories (with summaries, when available) that seem to meet
your needs.  A good librarian should be able to get you full copies of
any or all of these.
 
If there is a particular article you need more information about, just
let me know through a Request for Clarification.

Hello again.

There are two relatively easy ways to get access to the full articles:

The first, as I mentioned in my original answer, is to ask a local
library to get the copies for you.  While this may be a bit
time-consuming, it is the cheapest option.

The second is to get the articles on-line from LexisNexis -- easy to
do, but there is a charge for article access.  The instructions for
using this service are as follows:

Go to:   www.nexis.com 
 
Select: 
Not a Subscriber 
Search Now Using Your 
Credit Card 
 
Select: 
PAY AS YOU GO 
 
[note there is no charge to conduct a search, but you do have to enter
credit
card info to establish an account]

[Also note, that on the same page where you can selecte "Pay As You
Go" there is also an option to sign up for a daily or weekly account
for news retrieval.  Depending on how many articles you will be
getting, this may be a more economic option for you.  For 9 articles,
though, you're probably better off with the "Pay As You Go" option]
 
Fill in the form to establish an account.  

After your account is established, select "News" to get to the search
page.

Select "General News"

In the "Subject" box, type:

Elly Jansen and Charity Commission

In the "Source" box, select "News -- All Years"

The "Dates" box should read "All available dates".

Click "search"

LexisNexis will return a number of newspaper articles containing your
search terms, including the nine that I identified in my answer. 
Click the check box for any article that you want to see in full.

Click "Next Page" to see additional articles.

When you've selected all the articles of interest, click "order Tagged
Documents".  LexisNexis will ask you once or twice to confirm your
order, and after confirmation, will give you full text of the selected
articles.


Note that you will be charged for each article you select.  In the
U.S., the charge is $3 per article.

If you run into any problems using LexisNexis, or need any additional
information, just let me know through a follow-up Clarification
Request, and I'll be happy to be of service.

Sorry you're having trouble logging on.  I contacted LexisNexis, and
the help desk person was actually surprised to find out that their
system is, in fact, restricted to largely U.S. addresses.

There is a workaround however.  The U.S. office tells me that
LexisNexis in the U.K can set up an account for you.  I've provided
their information below -- please contact them directly.

Let me know how things work out.  

LexisNexis in the UK:

lne.helpdesk@lexis-nexis.com

phone:  011 44 14 83 252 100

You ate trying but the problems start with the credit card ...the
assumption that all enquiries are from the US.
