William Sutton's 1883 paper on Milne's Carlisle table is a second, identically-blocked instance of his 1874 Price/Northampton genre
William Sutton, author of "On the Method used by Dr. Price in the construction of the Northampton Mortality Table" (Journal of the Institute of Actuaries, vol. 18, January 1874, pp. 107–122), wrote a structurally identical paper eleven years later: "On the Method used by Milne in the Construction of the Carlisle Table of Mortality" (JIA, vol. 24, July 1883, pp. 110–129, DOI 10.1017/S2046167400045912). Both are retrospective methodological critiques written for the actuarial profession's own journal, each examining how an earlier, once-standard mortality table had been built — Sutton's 1874 paper assessing Richard Price's Northampton table, his 1883 paper assessing Joshua Milne's Carlisle Table of Mortality, the table that in turn superseded Price's as the actuarial reference of choice.
Sutton's affiliation differs between the two: "London and Provincial Law Assurance Society" in 1874, "Registry of Friendly Societies" by 1883, indicating a career move within the profession over the intervening decade.
Both articles are gated identically on Cambridge Core today: a genuine bibliographic record and opening extract render, but the article body sits behind an "Article purchase" option itself marked "Temporarily unavailable." This is not a single blocked route but a publisher-platform pattern affecting at least two of Sutton's papers a decade apart, both cited elsewhere in this vault's early-life-assurance cluster.
