The Lord Mayor's banquet at the Mansionhouse on Easter Monday was distinguished by the presence of the Prime Minister, the Home Se- cretary, and the First Lord of the Admiralty. The proceedings, however, were not of any marked political significance. Lord Derby of course de- clined the introduction of topics not strictly arising out of the pure hos- pitality of the occasion • but he did not omit the opportunity of saying one word for himself and his Ministry, which he might hope would tell with the magnates of the capital.
"I do not presume to speak of any political course of action; but this I say, that I hope I see indications,, and indications not to be mistaken, in this metropolis, that we are not looked upon as a set of reckless or careless men, likely to endanger the credit of the country and its great commercial and mercantile interests, or to neglect the great religious, moral, and social obli- gations which must rest upon us."
The speeches of Mr. Walpole and the Duke of Northumberland were strictly convivial." Mr. Abbott Lawrence returned thanks for the nu- merous Foreign Ministers present ; and paid a graceful compliment to Miss Hunter, who acted for her absent because indisposed mamma, as Lady Mayoress.
A small but respectable meeting of inhabitants of Marylebone, assem- bled under Mr. J. A. A. Nicholay in the Princess's Concert-room on Tues- day, passed resolutions against the bill now before Parliament for the enrolment of the Militia. Mr. Jacob Bell and Mr. Cobden were the two orators of mark. From the speech of the latter we extract some striking
Mr. Cobden on the Cost of our Defensive Establishments.—" The rated rental of all the real property in the counties of Middlesex, Kent, Surrey, and Essex, the four Metropolitan counties, including all your buildings and land and river-side property, and everything that is rated to the poor in those four Metropolitan counties, amounts to 13,924,0001. We have voted for your defence this year more than the rental of all the real property in the four Metropolitan counties ; and yet those great public instructors call out that you are utterly defenceless, and that we have done nothing for your defence. Lancashire and Yorkshire, the backbone of England, without whose gigantic industry England could never maintain the position she occupies, with all their machinery, manufactures, railroads, canals, and other invest- ments of property, are only rated to the poor on a sum of 12,500,000/., or 2,000,0001. less than has been voted this year for your national defences. The great industry of the country is the cotton manufacture, which gives employ- ment, directly or indirectly, to something like 3,000,000 of people. The whole of the raw cotton consumed to give employment to that multitude of people, and to create such an amount of wealth costs about as much every year as the support of your national defences. 'What is voted for the Army, Navy, and Ordnance, would pay 108. a week to 600,000 agricultural labourers throughout the year—about as many labourers as are employed in England torture all the food that is obtained from our own soil. Take two years of this expenditure and lend it out on interest, and it would give a permanent fund by which you might maintain 10,000 schoolmasters with 1001. a year
this is what this great public instructor calls ` leaving us ab-
,r, leas: . . I say, it is an impudent humiliating cry for up in this country to try to make cowards of us, in order
that they may effect their objects. But this goad will come of it—it will provoke an investigation into the expenditure of the country."
fir. Cobden, se the Drift qf Wellington and Me Horse Guards.—" It is tree that yes money i shamefully ineempriesT, and very much in conse- quenae of your having• had at the lama of departments men of whom the Engl.& don't like to spent.mies the teeth. We hare men who, unless Na- ture hair revokes) her eternal hrwain theirkartieular oases, must be physically as well as mentally incapable,' doing their work, owing to their great age. Instead of masculine energy at- the head of our warlike departments, sad that intelligence that looks tor improvements tending to economy, we have s childlike tremour and alarm constantly spreading from the Horse Guards, where we should have our strongest assurance of protection. After making this monstrous outlay, instead of having some security against alarms, we have from the heads of our warlike departments this outcry of danger, which only ought to have proceeded from the females and the children." On Mr. Anderson's Marine Militia Scheme.—"It has this recommenda- tion, that these are not vessels that can afterwards be used aggressively ; they are all used for purposes of commerce; they cannot be used for the pur- poses of oppressing your own people ; and the plan will not tend to demon& Ire your young men. If you want more defences, call out the Sea Militia;
there it is at your hand. And if ten or fifteen thousand ragamuffins should think of landing on our shores, adopt the plan of Mr. Anderson, which sue_ plies a most graceful excuse to the Government for withdrawing their Mili- tia Bill."
On Militia Substitutes.—" If this Militia Bill should pass, a thousand or two thousand men might be required in Marylebone ; and shall we be able to get substitutes at 41. a head ? I fear we shall not be able to find the men who sell themselves for 4/. a head when they are wanting : 41. is just the charge for a steerage-passage to America. (Laughter.) I do not go into that question, because I see you all agree at once that the thing will not work. The Government will soon find that the men who sell themselves for 41. a head are not worth the purchase-money." Mr. Cobden on French Freedom.—" We were ready to denounce the conduct of those countries of Europe who violate national and fundamental laws to coerce their neighbours into any form of government. I have tra- velled much in France ; I know many of the people ; and I am struck, I con- fess, with astonishment at what has taken place there. France in our point of view, and in the view, I believe, of the Americans, has abdicated her posi- tion as a free country. But—I say it with regret—if 38,000,000 of people acquiesce, it shows there is something I am not a competent judge of; and I treat the existing state of things with respect, as I cannot understand it. Different countries have different views of what constitutes freedom. There are things which we tolerate in this country, and which the French would not tolerate. Such is our territorial system of large properties perpetuated in certain families. If there were to be enacted in France a law of entail, such as in this country people are so proud of, there would be a revolution. If, therefore, they allow us to follow our own ways, let them have theirs."
The internecine war among the booksellers, on their system of trade, has come to a crisis. The Committee of the London Booksellers Associa- tion, at a meeting on the 8th instant, had resolved to seek a conference with those members of the trade who act as " undersellers" in defiance of the Association, before Lord Campbell, Lord Granville, Mr. Grote, Sir Bulwer Lytton, Sir Page Wood, the Dean of St. Paul's, and the Reverend Canon Wordsworth, with the purpose of deciding whether the Booksellers Association should be carried on under its present regulations or not. They resolved that the decision of Lord Campbell and the other literary gentlemen should be binding on them ; and agreed, if the decision were adverse, to convene the trade and resign their functions. Tho proposal being submitted to Lord Campbell, he said he would gladly give his ser- vices ; and he communicated with the gentlemen named. Accordingly, a body of gentlemen, consisting of the leading publishers and booksellers in London, the English provinces, and Scotland, presented themselves at Stratheden House on Wednesday ; and were received by Lord Campbell, Mr. Grote, and Dean Milman. The other gentlemen had been unable to attend—Lord Granville was ill. Lord Campbell stated that he had re- ceived letters from Mr. Chapman, and from Messrs. Bickers and Bush. Mr. Chapman complained that the time given for the appointment had been too short. Messrs. Bickers and Bush simply said they felt that compromise was impossible ; that the inevitable tendency of the age is to open and unlimited free trade ; and that no other arrangement would or could be final. Lord Campbell said, he and Dr. Milman and Mr. Grote would be glad to hear all the facts and arguments that the gentlemen pre- sent had to state. The booksellers then set forth their case ; Mr. William Longman taking the lead, and being followed by Mr, Murray, Mr. Doug- las of Edinburgh, Mr. Dalton, Mr. Taylor from Mr. Hatchard'a, Mr. Sims of Manchester, Mr. Beilby of Birmingham, Mr. Parker of Oxford, Mr. Pickering, Mr. Henry Bohn, Mr. Seeley, Mr. Miles, and Mr. Sampson Low, the Secretary of the London Association. The arguments and facts which they advanced, of greatest novelty, had relation to the peculiar nature of the bookselling trade, which, as Mr. Longman said, makes Free-trade principles inapplicable to it ; to the par- ticular rate of profit in the trade, about which the public has been misled ; and to the state of feeling in the provincial booksellers. It was argued, that in the book-trade peculiar power of identifying the article bought and sold—as every book has its name, and that book alone can be given to the buyer who asks for it—gives the public the advantage that the price can be uniform, and that the wholesale booksellers can keep up the supply at that uniform price all over the country : that this advantage will be lost if underselling become the rule ; and it will ensue, as happens in Paris, where there are no wholesale booksellers, that if you want twenty books you must go to as many booksellers for them, and you must give a dif- ferent price in every street. Also it follows from the uniform price, that the bookseller's profit is known to all the public ; and that fact in itself is a foundation for a greater competition than exists in any other trade. If a publisher or bookseller advertises a reduction, the public know whether it is carried out by him and by the others, because the common allow- ances of the trade and the margin of profit are known : but any other tradesman may pretend to be selling cheap, while he is in fact selling dear, for the public knows nothing of his trade allowances, or of his profits. It was stated to be untrue that the combination of the booksellers against " undersellers " is peculiar to bookselling ; it is common in other trades. Messrs. Strutt and Evans of Derby will only sell their peculiar and valuable thread to those who undertake under a fine not to sell be- low certain prices ; Mr. Cobden, when in business, did the same with his printed cottons ; Mr. Bright now does the same with his carpets ; the rule is observed in the oil-trade; and barristers and phy- sicians observe it in reference to their fees. With respect to profit, it is not true that the average rate is 33 per cent ; the rate is never larger than 26 per cent unless there is speculation in the bargain ; and in fact, for the pure business of retailing, the average rate is below that of any other re- tail businesses. Other trades reap 40, 50, 60, 100, and even more than 100 per cent. The average profits of those houses in London which act simply as wholesale booksellers, between the London publishers and the country retailers, independently of profits on trade-copyrights, &c., are only about 4 per cent. The booksellers of London number about 1200, and not more than a dozen of these are undersellers. The country booksellers are almost unanimous on the question. The sweeping away of the pre- sent system ."would concentrate the retail trade in the hands of a few large monopolist retailers, who would undersell the rest, to the injury of literature, the inconvenience of the public, and the ruin of hundreds of booksellers, from Land's End to John o'Groat's House." Lord Campbell said, the arguments were most able and profitable, but he must hear the other side : he and the Dean of St. Paul's and Mr. Grote, and perhaps some of the other referees named, would be prepared to hear the statements advanced by the other side, between the 16th and 21st of May.
The promoters of the agitation for retaining the Crystal Palace have found much embarrassment from the objection that " the demonstrations are promoted for the benefit of the contractors." Sir Joseph Paxton wrote to Messrs. Fox and Henderson, acquainting them with this source of embarrassment; and they answered him, that they had, before the receipt of his letter, taken steps to obviate objections on the score referred to, by paying the money received on Saturday week into Messrs. Glyn's bank, "to a separate account, subject to the committee's claims for expenses, the appropriation of the balance remaining undecided upon until the fate of the building is determined."
But a heavy official hand was interposed on Wednesday. On that day the Committee for the Preservation of the building received copies of a correspondence between the Commission of Works and Messrs. Fox Cr andregenderson, which has resulted in the definitive resolution of the con- tractors to stop any further promenades on Saturday, and even to close the building to the public altogether. The Commiooion had written through their Secretary, referring to former monitions and remonstrances- " The Chief Commissioner, however, regrets to find that, notwithstand- ing the intimations thus conveyed to you, the building has been used by you for the purpose of public promenades and concerts ; that you have taken moneyfor admission thereto ; that by means of advertisements in the pub- lic papers, and otherwise, you have induced a concourse of persons to as- semble In the building, in the Park, and in the neighbouring thoroughfares ; and that such assemblages have been injurious to the Park, detrimental to the property in its immediate neighbourhood, and otherwise prejudicial to the ppeeaaccee and quiet of the vicinity." Messrs. Fox and Henderson were therefore informed, that if they per- sisted in applying the building to "its present objectionable uses," or to "any other purpose than those specifically mentioned in the Royal war- rant," application would be made to "a court of competent jurisdiction " to restrain them—in other words, they would be put in Chancery. The contractors instantly issued an advertisement, stating that, " in conse- quence of a communication from the Office of Woods and Forests, the Exhibition building could no longer be thrown open to the public by the contractors" ; and they respectfully informed the Commission, that, " with a view to prevent disturbance," they proposed to allow the entrance of persons who in ignorance of the notice would present themselves for ad- mission next day—Thursday ; but that after Thursday they would close the doors finally. These arrangements were carried out.
Mr. Francis Fuller has intimated to Messrs. Fox and Henderson, that he is prepared, on behalf of clients, to purchase the Crystal Palace for 70,000k, and for public use, [on some other site, we suppose,] as a win- ter garden, &c.
A ballot at the India-house was taken on Wednesday for the election of six Directors, in room of six gentlemen who retired by rotation—name- ly, Mr. Henry Alexander, Lieutenant-General James Caulfeild, C.B., the Honourable William Henry Leslie Melville, Major James Oliphant, Mr. Henry Thoby Prinsep, and Mr. John Shepherd. The following gentle- men were duly elected—Mr. William Butterworth Bayley Mr. Russell Ellice, Sir Richard Jenkins, G.C.B., Mr. Ross Donnelly Mangles, M.P., Mr. iohn Masterman, M.P., and Major John Arthur Moore.
The public have been shocked and afflicted by the details of a tragedy perpetrated in Lambeth last Saturday morning : a'son killed his mother, and perfected his act by cutting off her head! The circumstances are revolting, but it is possible that the mental state of the matricide should inspire pity and melancholy, rather than call for vengeance. The poor woman who has been killed was Mrs. Elizabeth Wheeler, a widow, of about the age of forty-four, who resided in the house No. 1 Dur- ham Place, Kennington Road, facing Bethlem Hospital for lunatics. The eon who killed her was Thomas Cathie Wheeler, twenty-eight years of age ; a young man who has been well educated and was a good linguist, who once filled a well-paid situation in the Brazils under a mercantile firm, but who has been confined in a lunatic asylum twice, and latterly has been unable to do anything at all for his own living. His mother was fondly attached to him, and wholly supported him. The landlord of poor Mrs. Wheeler was Mr. Toms, a carpet-bag manufacturer, who occupied the ground-floor of the house in which she lived ; and in a floor above that occupied by her lodged Eliza Phillips, who has known her for nearly thirty years. The narrative of the murder was given by the witnesses and by the perpetra- tor himself, in the examination before Mr. Norton the Lambeth Magistrate, on Saturday and Wednesday.
Eliza Phillips, who was down-stairs on Saturday morning, raised the first alarm.
The Witness—" About half-past eleven or a quarter to twelve this morning, I heard a scuttling noise, and then as if sometining had fallen heavily. I immediately ran up-stairs, calling ' Mrs. Wheeler.' I tapped hurriedly at the door, but got no answer. I tapped more loudly at the door, and said, • Mrs. Wheeler '; and then the prisoner partly opened the door, perhaps about a foot, but not enough to admit of any one going in. The prisoner had something In his hand. It was in his right hand, but I could not see what it was. I think from the position of his hand he wished to bide it from me. He stood with his right band down. He stood sideways at the door. He then hastily closed the door in my face."
The Prisoner—•• That is true." The Witness—" Yes, he did; and I ran down-stairs to my landlord and his wife ; for I was fearful there was something the matter, and I told them of it at once. They then listened on the stairs, and while they were listening they heard him coming down stairs."
The Prisoner—" I left the house directly."
The Witness--" When we heard him coming down stairs, the landlady called us into the parlour, for fear of meeting him. When he went out and shut the door, the dlady instantly went up-si airs." Mr. Norton (to the prisoner)—" Do you wish to ask the witness any question 1"
The Prisoner—" The fact is, that she has threatened to send me to the workhouse for a great length of time ; and she said she would have me dragged away, and I suppose they cannot drag people away in the most gentle manner.' Mr. Norton—" Do you wish to ask the witness any queatiou 2" The Prisoner—" All she has said is true."
The Witness—" He has been at the Asylum at Wandsworth for some time."
The Prisoner—" It is exactly twelve months since I left.
Mrs. Elizabeth Toms, 'the landlady, stated that she ran up-stairs, found Mrs. Wheeler on the floor, saw blood, ran down-stairs, and sent persons for a doctor and in pursuit of the prisoner. She added—" Ever since I have been in the house, I have observed something irregular in his manner. Lately I observed that he was getting worse. When he had his fits on him, be looked very pale and ill." The Prisoner—" All without liberty : she was bagged ; I was worried."
Mr. Hutchinson, surgeon, stated that when he came into the room the
body of the deceased was still warm : on the table, which was spread with a cloth for dinner, was the poor woman's head. On the floor was a pillow bearing marks as if a person had knelt on it to beiunstained by the blood on the floor.
The Magistrate—" Have you anything to ask this gentlemanl "
The Prisoner—" I have nothing to ask. I should like the window to be left open while the corpse is in the room. I didn't think of that before. It is the last request, perhaps, I shall make."
Mr. Tome stated that he followed and overtook the prisoner, and gave him into the custody of Policeman Lockyer. Policeman Lockyer described what passed after the arrest.
The Witness—" I said to him, he must consider himself in my custody, and go, with me to the station. He said, ' They have not let me go far : I have been tor- mented for four or five years by them! I said, ' Do you mean to say that you have killed your mother 1' and he said, • I have; I am sorry for it.' I said, • How came you to do it1' Well,' he said, ' I have been tormented for four or five years.' I asked him how he did it; and he said, ' She was coming in at the door, and I knocked her:down with the fiat-iron, and 1 found that that was not sufficient, and I then look the carving-knife. She was very tough, and I then struck her head off with the hatchet.' At the station-house I found a knife in. his coat-pocket, and I asked him what he was going to do with it, and he said, • That was for myself.' I understood that he was going to cut his own throat. He said, • You will find a letter on the table, and take particular care of it. That was before he said anything about the knife. On going to the house, I found several letters on the table, but I have act had time to read them yet. I searched for the fiat-iron, and found it in a bundle of clothes lying by the side of the body. There is blood on the iron."
The Prisoner—" I spoke more respectfully than the man has stated. I did not make a bravado of it. I spoke sorrowfully, did I not 1" The Policeman—" Yes, you did." The Magistrate—" I have already more than once cautioned you as to what yen say."
The Prisoner—" I am quite prepared to go to the scaffold. I struck her with the flat iron, and blood must have blood ; but I did not bravado about it."
Mr. Toms, the landlord, further deposed as follows-
" At times he is rational, but at other times he is not. I think he must have listened when his mother was talking about removing him, and I think that was the cause of it all. He frequently talked to himself!'
The Prisoner—"I have been in the habit of talking to myself." The Witness—" His mother was a beautiful woman, and stood five feet ten inches or five feet eleven inches high. She was always very kind to him. When he has been very bad she has threatened to put him away. lie has been in Bedlam eleven months, and seven months in an asylum at Wandsworth. He has been in Brazil, and had a sun-stroke as he was crossing the Line. He had a salary of 3001. a year, and he can speak three or four different languages."
Eliza Phillips added this statement-
" I saw him go out as if on an errand, and heard him return. As he went up-stairs, he talked to himself : that was usual with him, but he talked then louder than usual. Mrs. Wheeler had come into my room at about half-past or a quarter-past ten; and said she was so much frightened of him that she would send him away on Monday, rie she could not bear it any longer ; and that she had an idea last night to send to the workhouse that he might be taken there. She asked me if my little boy would carry a letter to the post-office for her; and I said he would. She said the letter was for her daughter, who was at Tunbridge Wells. She told me that the prisoner had been standing with a flat-iron in his hand in the morning, and was muttering something that was most awful."
At the reexamination, on Wednesday, the prisoner was generally tran- quil, but at times his behaviour gave indications of his unhappy state. It became still more evident that it had been known for a long time that the prisoner's mind was affected, and that latterly he was dangerous. A letter from Hertford stated that he was in custody therein August last? for threaten- ing to shoot a person on the high-road. Mr. John Cathie, his uncle, gave evidence at great length. The mother seems to have been too indulgent to her son : he escaped from Wandsworth Asylum, and though she was warned that he was still insane, she allowed him to remain at home. On Tuesday sennight, the young man went to his uncle's at Balaton, and behaved so strangely that Mr. Cathie remarked to his wife, "Poor Tom Wheeler is very bad : I'm sure something fearful will happen." He warned his sister ; and she promised to have her son confined immediately. Ile had never attacked any one before : ho was " an exceedingly mild young man—had not the heart to kill a mouse." He had twice enlisted in the army ; and on the last occasion had been immediately discharged as unfit for service. The prisoner was then asked in the usual form, by the Chief Clerk, whether he had any- thing to say ? Prisoner (starting up suddenly)—" No; I have nothing further to say at present." Mr. Cathie stated, that he had been informed by the Coroner that in such an evident case of lunacy the Magistrate had power to commit the prisoner at once to close custody, without the painful exposure of a public trial. If possible, it would be most desirable that such a course should be taken. Mr. Norton said he was not aware that he had such power, but he would look into the act. The prisoner was then com- mitted for trial.
An inquest on the two ehildren and father found dead in the pond at Putney on Friday was held on Tuesday. The waterman who drew the bodies from the water described how they were tied. The two children were tied face to face by stout cord, which left them a foot apart ; they were not blindfolded ; and there was no mark of any violence on them. The father had his arms and feet bound together by willow withs tightly twisted, but in such a manner as he could have done it himself. It proved that he was Mr. Spankhurat, a master basket-maker of Barking. He left home on Wednes- day, in anger with his wife. But as he had done so before, taking the boys with him for a day or two, she hoped they would again return safely. He wished to take his little daughter with the boys; but his wife sent word to the teacher of the school, not to let the little girl go with her father ; and so the third innocent escaped. On Thursday morning Mrs. Spankhurst re- ceived this note from her husband— " April 7.
" By the time you receive this, me and my boys. will be locked in the arms of death ; and I am very unhappy that my girl is not with us. You have to thank your own temper towards me, and I made up my mind on my pillow this morning what I should do, before I started ; but I have little comments to make, but your temper has i been that to me that it has played on my mind for some time, but it finished before this time ; and I hope that my giri will grow and be a good girl, and I should have been happy to have had her with us ; and I hope that you will govern your temper for the future. You have no one to thank but yourself for this, and I hope that you
will do well. God bless you both for ever. Amen. N. 8.'
Following up the clue of the post-mark, the poor woman put the police at Chelsea on the search; but nothing was discovered by them till the Friday, when the dead bodies were found accidentally by other persons in the pond at Putney. At the inquest, the apprentice of Mr. Spankhurst stated facts which showed that his master had been in a desponding state of mind for
some time, and which quite exonerated his master's wife from the unkind charges against her in the melancholy letter. The Jury returned this ver-
dict— " That the two boys, Nathaniel Joseph Spankhurst and William Spankhurst, were wilfully murdered by their father. Nathaniel John Spankhurst ; who afterwards committed suicide by drowning while in a fit of temporary insanity."
At the Central Criminal Court, on Saturday, Gerber, Wagner, and Kessler, who were convicted of the cunningly-devised attempt to utter a forged check on the London and Westminster Bank, were brought up for sentence. Dis- closures had been expected from them of an extended scheme of forgery, but they had made none. The sentences were transportation for ten years. A great scoundrel met his deserts. Norton Bateman, a young " law- stationer," was tried for defrauding Jane Gilbert of 10s. 6d. Bateman had been confined in Newgate for a burglary, a lenient sentence having been upon him. When he came out, ho went to the woman, whose hue- band was in prison, and by means of a trumped-up story of sending com- forts into the gaol for Gilbert, defrauded the poor woman of 4s. and 6s. 6d. The Recorder mentioned that it was known that Bateman while in Newgate bad concocted a scheme to waylay and rob an Irishman who had saved a lit- tle money. Sentence, transportation for ten years. John Keene, the man who was convicted of murdering his wife's child by throwing it down a well near Guildford, was hanged on Tuesday, at Horsemen- ger Lane Gaol. A large mob witnessed the execution. Numbers of ruffians bivouacked on the ground during the previous night ; many of whom got drunk and riotous, so that the police had to remove them. Keene was exe- cuted in his ordinary dress—corduroy trousers and a smock frock. He im- patiently resisted the good offices of the priest, was perfectly cool, and pro- tested his innocence to the last—his wife, he pretended, was the guilty one.
Eliza Hunt, who was formerly an inmate of St. Luke's Hospital, and who has again become insane, has been arrested at night in front of Buckingham Palace, exclaiming that she wanted the Queen's life, and would have it. She had a large knife concealed in her_bosom. The Bow Street Magistrate provided for her safe custody.
Mr. Dunford, a printer and news-agent at Notting Hill, has applied to the Hammersmith Magistrate to restrain Mr. Feargus O'Connor, whom he be- lieves to be insane. He grounded his application on the extraordinary be- haviour of the Member for Nottingham, when he called at his shop about a month ago : be had previously conducted himself in a strange way. Mr. Beadon said he could not interfere, as he is not a Commissioner of Lunacy and if the matter took the shape of a charge of assault, the applicant should have appeared directly after Mr. O'Connor misbehaved."
William Tush, a pocket-book-maker, has beenlheld to bail by the South- wark Magistrate, for stealing a cash-box, the property of Mr. Cross, a broker. He was paving his addresses to Mrs. Cross's sister ; and it is said that he took advantage of an opportunity when he was left with only the servant in the house to run off with the cash-box : there was no money in it. The box and the memorandums it contained were returned to the owner through the Parcels Delivery Company.
Ferdinand Bock, a powerful German, has been apprehended after attempt- ing to rob a shop, through the resolution of Mrs. Knight, who is described as a " delicate-looking" woman. Bock had broken into the shop of Mr. Heirons, in Leadenhall Street ; Mrs. Knight, wife of a policeman, is housekeeper to the premises ; she heard a noise at night, and detected Bock as he came out of the shop heavily laden with plunder ; she grappled with him ; he tried to escape with his load, but was compelled to relinquish it before he could shake her off. Having liberated himself from her, he ran into the street ; but she pursued him, and raised an alarm, and he was chased and arrested.
At Clerkenwell Police Office, on Monday, an incorrigible young girl was brought before the Magistrate. Sophia Wensley, twelve years old, and pretty-looking, was charged with stealing a shilling from a little girl in the street. She was well "known" to the Police, having been in custody last -week. The father, a respectable-looking man, a painter in Somers Town, was deeply affected : he said that the girl had received both from himself and her mother the best advice and instruction, but she had a natural propensity or had habits and pilfering. They had sent her to school ; but she would play truant, and stop away from home for weeks together ; and she had robbed no fewer than fifty children within a short time. Although there was every comfort for her at home, she would wander about, sleeping on the steps of doors and in carts, and living on nothing but plunder. After she was discharged from this court on Thursday last, he locked her in an apart- ment, where he kept her without her shoes; but she contrived to escape, and he neither saw nor heard anything of her until he received information that she was locked up. on a charge of robbery. He had five other children, who, he was afraid, might be contaminated by such a bad example ; and he
entreated Mr. Come to do something with her, in order to save her from utter destruction if possible. Mr. Corrie—" The best thing lean do will be to send her to prison for a very longtime, when she will be properly instructed and attended to. I shall commit her to prison, with hard labour, for three months ; and at the expiration of that term her father can receive her back again." The prisoner listened to the whole of the proceedings in a hardened manner, whilst her parents left the court in tears.
Annabelle Bowra, a little girl of ten, has been charged at Guildhall Police Office with very mischievous conduct. While two ladies were looking at a shop-window in St. Paul's Churchyard, pieces were cut out of the shawl of one and the mantle of the other : the girl was pointed out by a passenger as she was running away, with a pair of scissors in her hand. She cast the blame on her cousin, a girl of fifteen ; who threw away a paper of fragments of ladies' dresses when Annabelle was seized. The girls are respectably con- nected : Annabella's father had to pay a penalty of 3/. for her.
The Police at St. Pancras have orders to atop street-selling after a certain hour on Sunday morning : last Sunday, an officer ordered a poor woman who was vending oranges within prohibited hours to "move on' ; in attempting to cross the New Road, the woman dropped some of her fruit ; as she stooped to recover it, she was knocked down by a cab, which passed over her head, and she died almost instantly. The cab-driver was taken into custody; but as it was evident that he had not been in fault, the Clerkenwell Magistrate discharged him.
Four men of the Fourth Light Dragoons hired a boat at Isleworth on Sunday afternoon, a Waterman accompanying them. While in deep water, one of the soldiers (they had been drinking) began to rock the boat, which capsized, and all were plunged into the stream. When they were taken out two soldiers were past recovery. A girl who was to have married one of them died of the shock.
Very early on Tuesday morning, there was an extensive fire in Tottenham Court Road. It originated in a'large warehouse belonging to Mr. Mug- geridge, a corn-dealer ; this building was consumed, and numbers of sur- rounding houses were much damaged.

text: Remember those carefree days as a kid when your only work was play? I do. I remember sitting next to a lilac bush and throwing maple tree "helicopters" up in the air just to watch them land. I remember building stick forts for my little green army men. I remember riding my bike up and down the drive way, and building ramps, and wiping out. I remember sand box farms, coloring with Crayola crayons, playing Cowboys and Indians and swinging on the swing-set. Here's something I've never said publicly before, I even learned to crochet and did cross-stitch. Please don't give me grief over that. I also played baseball and shot birds with my Daisy B-B Gun. If we couldn't find a game to play, my brothers and I would make something up; that didn't always end well—no illustrations needed. We moved to a farm when I was a young teen and the work began. Baling hay, caring for cattle, hoeing beans and picking rocks were the new paradigm of summer. Of course I started to want "things," and things required money. I learned early that money does not, in fact, grow on trees, and that there is only one honest way to get money—work. I've been working ever since. I worked my way through college (and graduated debt-free). I thank the Lord that I have been steadily employed almost my whole adult life. I know some of you think I only work one day a week but, seriously? I do like work though I confess that some days, work is really work. Actually, I have whole weeks that are…work. Every once in a while I read some knuckle-head who suggests that we should find a work we love so much that "it gets us out of bed in the morning." That's not biblical. What is biblical is that we should work. That work will be work. That it is our God-assigned task to be creative and thankful in our work. Nowhere are we commanded to always enjoy our work or find it "life-giving." So, if you are stuck in a job—give thanks. If you can pay your bills—give thanks. If you have the opportunity to join God in His work in this world through your vocation—give thanks. Work can be work but it is our way of joining God to bless others in a troubled world. Work.

Our skilled technicians arrive prepared to handle the scope of even complex malfunctions, with all makes and models of heating and cooling equipment, most often resolving the problem on the spot. For all your HVAC service, repairs, and installations in Livermore, CA, Pleasanton, CA & Dublin, CA, call the team from Miller's Air Conditioning & Heating!
Energy efficiency can be improved even more in central heating systems by introducing zoned heating. This allows a more granular application of heat, similar to non-central heating systems. Zones are controlled by multiple thermostats. In water heating systems the thermostats control zone valves, and in forced air systems they control zone dampers inside the vents which selectively block the flow of air. In this case, the control system is very critical to maintaining a proper temperature.
While it should be rare to have problems occur with new equipment, it does happen. When it does, you want a good troubleshooter who is knowledgeable and can make the diagnosis and repair in a timely and efficient manner. That means you want that HVAC contractor who sends their technicians to HVAC technical seminars and factory sponsored training classes. That can make the difference between solving the problem quickly and efficiently in hours or being frustrated waiting days or weeks to have the problem solved. Take the time to choose your contractor wisely and it will save you a lot of heartache and frustration.
Poor dehumidification can also be caused by excessive humidity in the home. This may be caused by water leaks or open windows during humid periods or by a lack of proper condensate drainage from your evaporator coil in the furnace's plenum. A properly functioning cooling unit produces condensate and drains it away. If your unit is not producing condensate its cooling and dehumidification functions are not working properly.
As for the price I think my review was fair in stating what value we got for what I deemed to be a slightly higher price than others might charge. I did not take any stars off for the price, and still am not, but I am taking another star off because of Alberto's comments, which are deceptive and not the same thing he told me in person. Alberto, I suggest you stick with the high road in the future.
Mitsubishi Electric is a world leader in air conditioning systems for residential, commercial and industrial use. Challenged to create air conditioning systems that provide exemplary performance in the wide-ranging climatic conditions found throughout Japan, our engineers develop amazingly sophisticated yet durable units and systems capable of constant use under virtually any natural climatic condition on earth.
Tony from HVAC came out on Sunday morning and did a fantastic job of immediately diagnosing the issue, quickly fixing the problem, and honoring the coupons I had. When I initially called on Saturday morning, I had a lot of trouble with their answering service getting their wires crossed with their technicians. However, Tony called me back and made it right. He even pointed out an issue that is in the horizon that I should look at (without charging me extra or telling me I had to fix it right now). Great service!
Low refrigerant charges take away from the life of the compressor. The compressor is cooled from the return refrigerant vapor. When there is a low charge there are fewer vapors to cool the compressor, therefore it runs hotter. Any compressor (or electric motor for that matter) which runs above the recommended temperature range will have a shorter life span and cost more to operate.
Your HVAC professional can perform a yearly tune-up of your system for around $80-$100. This yearly maintenance can go far toward heading off major repairs to your system, and provide you with peace of mind and considerable savings in the long term. Additionally, regular servicing of your AC unit can help a home inspector to certify that your unit is working properly in the event you decide to sell your home.
Our team's knowledge covers a variety of manufacturers, types of systems, local building codes, and best practices. Each technician goes through 200-plus hours of continuing education and training every year, including weekly training sessions. Whether your HVAC system is complex or small, old or brand new, or located in your basement or garage, our repair technicians can handle it.
If your AC doesn't turn off when room temperature reaches the temperature set on the thermostat, the problem is generally occurring either at the thermostat or in the electrical system that runs the outside condensing unit. You can use the AC's circuit breaker to shut off the unit, but that should not be a permanent solution—circuit breakers are not designed to be used like light switches.
Should you need to replace an air conditioning unit, Abacus Plumbing recommends Lennox brand of air conditioning and heating systems. Lennox systems offer the highest level of home comfort at the lowest possible cost of operation. Additionally, these systems are praised by consumer publications and meet or exceed all government standards for efficiency. Learn more about installation »
Wow! These guys rock! I had issues with our fireplace for a while and the last company who "fixed" the issue basically charged me a lot of money and literally left me standing in the cold. Next they said it would cost me over $700 to fix the whole thing and they never came back. Finally I was able to find some good guys to fix the issue. Tony and Paul from HVAC were not only really friendly, they diagnosed the issue really fast and fixed it the same day. And it was 7 times less than what the other company asked for!!! Next time I know who to call! 5 Stars!

The heat-exchanger cools the air that is being forced through it by the furnace blower. As the warm air comes in contact with this cool surface the water in the air condenses. By pulling the water molecules from the air. According to the psychometric chart[42] as relative humidity decreases in order to feel cool you will have to lower the temperature even more. A common way to counteract this effect is by installing a whole-home humidifier.[43] Similarly, installing a high efficient system this need to turn the temperature down wont have such and influence on your energy costs.
Not obvious is the fact that they need maintenance routinely, just like any other machine. The filter, usually located behind the front grill, needs to be washed. The condenser coil at the back of the unit can accumulate a lot of debris, and might require a special chemical bath. All air conditioning systems, large or small, need good air flow across the evaporator coil and the condenser coil. Efficiency and performance drop rapidly as air flow decreases. Lose enough air flow and the unit will burn out. Rodents can nest inside when not in use, and can foul up the unit in many ways. Wasps and hornets, as well as the honey bee find finned coils to be comfortable nesting places. Nests and dead insects can ruin the air conditioner.

I originally took off one star because of the SNAFU with getting the part ordered. When Alberto called me on the phone he admitted the person had "gotten busy with other things" and apologized. THAT was taking the high road and I was impressed by that. Sadly, for reasons I won't guess at, Alberto has decided to take the low road in his comments and imply that they got the part as quickly as possible. Well, we called at 2:30 so did someone spend six and a half hours finding the part?? That seems very doubtful.

Many homes in Portland don't have air conditioning of any kind. Whether your home is decades old or just a few years, the wisdom is that the moderate climate of Portland will be enough to keep you comfortable. In fact, when building a home, you typically need to request air conditioning installation from your home builder. With an average of only two weeks or so worth of days that hit 90 degrees, many people simply can't justify the expense. Of course, HomeAdvisor does see quite a few Portland air conditioning installation requests, simply because so many homeowners don't have central air. If you've decided it's time to indulge yourself or have recently moved into a Portland home without air conditioning, we can help you find a contractor who will help you with any or all of your A/C needs.
Our heater went out last Saturday, which was a cold day. Called a few different places and they… Our heater went out last Saturday, which was a cold day. Called a few different places and they were the only ones that called back. The technician Tony came out and after a little testing said the main control board needed to be replaced. He quoted us a total of $489 which seemed on the high side but it was cold and we were somewhat desperate, so we agreed and paid a parts deposit.

The entire time Saul, the supervisor of the team, kept me informed, and educated me about any process that I may have not completely understood.

"Robinson Air = top notch professionals. Mike was personable, knowledgeable, timely, thorough, and left me with a hard copy of prioritized recommendations and his explanations of HVAC needs I may have in the future.

My hat is off to you and I will happily recommend you to family and friends. Thank you!!!"
Modern air conditioning emerged from advances in chemistry during the 19th century, and the first large-scale electrical air conditioning was invented and used in 1902 by England inventor Willis Carrier. The introduction of residential air conditioning in the 1920s helped enable the great migration to the Sun Belt in the United States.[citation needed]

Your system is 10 - 15 years old: Follow this simple rule of thumb from Energy Star—if your current system is over 10 years old, it's time to start looking into an HVAC replacement. Most HVAC systems last for about 15 years, so there's no immediate need to replace yours if it's still functioning properly. But by doing your research now, you'll know just what you want to do should your HVAC system suddenly stop working properly.

Modern air conditioning systems are not designed to draw air into the room from the outside, they only recirculate the increasingly cool air on the inside. Because this inside air always has some amount of moisture suspended in it, the cooling portion of the process always causes ambient warm water vapor to condense on the cooling coils and to drip from them down onto a catch tray at the bottom of the unit from which it must then be routed outside, usually through a drain hole. As this moisture has no dissolved minerals in it, it will not cause mineral buildup on the coils. This will happen even if the ambient humidity level is low. If ice begins to form on the evaporative fins, it will reduce circulation efficiency and cause the development of more ice, etc. A clean and strong circulatory fan can help prevent this, as will raising the target cool temperature of the unit's thermostat to a point that the compressor is allowed to turn off occasionally. A failing thermistor may also cause this problem. Refrigerators without a defrost cycle may have this same issue. Dust can also cause the fins to begin blocking air flow with the same undesirable result: ice.
Special chemicals can be used to clean mineral deposits, but one of the safest is vinegar. A 50% mixture of vinegar and water will usually dissolve or help clean away deposits. If the humidifier has a drum with a belt, replacement of the belt at the beginning of the heating season can be the easiest fix if the water has a high mineral content. If the humidifier has screens or is the wick type, some corrosion can occur as well as build up

My A/C went out on a Friday and I found this company in the phone book on Saturday morning. They came out just a few hours later and it was decided that I needed a new system. The pricing was good as well as the customer service. They brought me a temporary portable air conditioner for Saturday night and they replaced my system on Sunday. This company has the best customer service of any business that I have dealt with. I would highly recommend this company to anyone and have. Great Company!!!!!
One of the most important ways to maintain the efficiency of your air conditioner is to check on its efficiency periodically throughout the year. In addition to changing your air filters every three months, having a professional heating and cooling professional service your air conditioner before the peak of summer ensures you're not overlooking potential problems. The thorough inspection and tune up of your air conditioner is well worth the low maintenance cost.
Air conditioners often use a fan to distribute the conditioned air to an occupied space such as a building or a car to improve thermal comfort and indoor air quality. Electric refrigerant-based AC units range from small units that can cool a small bedroom, which can be carried by a single adult, to massive units installed on the roof of office towers that can cool an entire building. The cooling is typically achieved through a refrigeration cycle, but sometimes evaporation or free cooling is used. Air conditioning systems can also be made based on desiccants (chemicals which remove moisture from the air) and subterraneous pipes that can distribute the heated refrigerant to the ground for cooling.[2]
Evaporative coolers, sometimes called "swamp coolers", do not have a compressor or condenser. Liquid water is evaporated on the cooling fins, releasing the vapor into the cooled area. Evaporating water absorbs a significant amount of heat, the latent heat of vaporisation, cooling the air. Humans and animals use the same mechanism to cool themselves by sweating.
If the AC doesn't turn off, it may be time to clean the condensing unit. Dirty condenser coils won't give off heat efficiently and will keep the unit running. Another possibility: The contacts on the outdoor run relay may have welded together—something that can happen over time because of frequent electrical arcing at the relay. Before checking the run relay, turn off the power to the furnace and the condensing unit. Next, disassemble the relay and pry apart the contacts. This should do the trick until you buy a replacement—which you should do soon.
We will get into specifics later, but there are plenty of recommended maintenance items all homeowners should strongly consider if you want you to extend the lifespan of your AC unit. Furthermore, regular maintenance prevents certain repairs less organized homeowners see every few years. Some easy and highly recommended AC unit maintenance tasks include:
Was not satisifed with this company. This person came out and took 10 minutes only to tell me that my unit would not last for a year and that I needed to have it replaced! I'm not sure if he was very knowlegable or if he was just plain lazy and do not even try to fix the problem. He just wanted to install a brand new system because he was both and of course, that's much more money for him!
The myth that most people believe is that if you add more refrigerant to the unit it will cool better. This is only true if the evaporator coil is operating below freezing. The unit must have a balanced charge at the correct refrigerant pressure for the temperature and usually, only an HVAC professional can charge your unit properly. Another misconception about refrigerant is that the unit burns it up and it must be replaced from time to time. This is not true. Furthermore, the refrigerant loop is a closed system and barring any leaks the air conditioning system should never need any refrigerant.
Please note: this is a review from someone who never got service from here. They just chose to ignore my calls for a heating emergency. Who knows, they might have give great service, if they actually return a promised phone call. I actually call them this past Saturday night. It was chilly, we turned the furnace on...... Poof.... Nothing. So, I look them up on Yelp. Good reviews with a few bad goods added, plus a Yelp deal. I gave them a call, the at about 6 pm. I know, 6pm on a Saturday, who's going to come out, well, they did. They woman, I assume their receptionist, answers and I told her I need someone out here. She assured me someone will call me back in 15 mins. Half hour to 45 mins later, no calls from them. I figured maybe they wrote the number down wrong, it happens. So, I called them again. They got the number correct, got my name and address correct, and was told they will call me back in 10 mins. I even asked if this is something they don't do, as in services on a Saturday night. I was told by the receptionist that they do and I would just be ok calling another company if they is not part of their services. They again assured me someone WILL call me in 10 mins. Well, unless their definition of 10 mins is never, then they got it wrong as I am still waiting to be called 5 days later.

Mike Connor, NRA Certified Pistol Instructor
Veritas Training Academy
Hans Gruber: "Do you really think you have a chance against us, Mr. Cowboy?"
John McClane: "Yippee-ki-yay, mother*#@."
Die Hard, 1998
The first article was meant to introduce and to establish the rationale for and responsibility toward becoming more than a "gun owner". When queried by friends, family, and associates about "What's new in your life" the responses I received when I told them "I'm learning to be a gunfighter" were, as you can imagine, surprised, incredulous but most often… "WHAT?"
Explaining exactly what I meant dispelled the notion of cowboys facing off at high noon! How exactly did I get from taking a CCW course to wanting to become a Gunfighter?
After completing my CCW course at Take Aim, I thought it would be responsible to invest in a single lesson. I wanted to be able to hit the bulls-eye consistently on the paper target. Since I hadn't had guns my whole life there was probably something I could learn. The idea of needing anything beyond that had not entered my mind. I just "thought" that I'd be able to handle any situation requiring me to defend myself with a firearm. However, after spending an hour with Mike Magowan, co-founder of Veritas Training Academy, I quickly realized that there was much more involved and I was a long way from being able to use my firearm skillfully.
First I needed to develop my skill as a marksman. Skill development is the process of learning new things and improving yourself at every level imaginable. It is not a term used exclusively and only in a work environment. Mike took time to go over grip, punching out from "third eye" and discussed the two most important aspects of marksmanship; trigger control and sight acquisition. Once on the range I quickly demonstrated my ability to hit low and to the left of the bulls eye (jerking the trigger). He suggested I work on dry firing; focusing on a smooth, even depress of the trigger. This activity is the building block of developing your trigger control. Every aspiring gunfighter can and should dry fire on a regular basis. It costs nothing and can be accomplished any time day or night (in the privacy of your own home.)
You need to become a marksman before you can become a gunfighter. In an article by Charles Remsberg from PoliceOne.com News he states, "Marksmanship skills are critical to have, but that's only a small part of the equation. Marksmanship performance is not even remotely predictive of how you will do in a gunfight."

Condé Nast Sells Brides Magazine to Barry Diller's Dotdash
Brides, the oldest bridal journal within the United States, began in 1934 as a publication mailed freed from cost to girls whose wedding ceremony bulletins appeared in newspaper society pages, in accordance to "One Perfect Day: The Selling of the American Wedding," by Rebecca Mead. Its unique title was So You're Going to Be Married.
Condé Nast acquired the journal's former writer, Brides House, shortly earlier than Samuel I. Newhouse Sr. purchased a controlling curiosity within the firm in 1959. Then titled The Bride's Magazine, the publication slot in snugly amongst Vogue, Glamour and House & Garden. The title of the journal was finally shortened to Bride's, and the apostrophe fell off in 2005.
The journal ran its first article on same-sex ceremonies in 2003. Three years later, it went on-line. In 2012, it grew to become the primary Condé Nast publication to be led by an African American, when Keija Minor was named editor in chief.
Under Ms. Minor, who stepped down in 2017, and her successor, Ms. Gooder, Brides expanded its digital presence. Brides.com had three.6 million distinctive guests in March, greater than double the quantity in 2015, in accordance to comScore.
The journal's new proprietor, Dotdash, was a repository of solutions to on-line queries like "how to beer-batter chicken" in its earlier incarnation, About.com. Started within the late 1990s, About.com was purchased by The New York Times in 2005. It was offered to IAC, whose chairman is the billionaire media mogul Barry Diller, in 2012.
Dotdash is now a set of web sites centered on matters like journey and residential décor. When the corporate modified its title from About.com to Dotdash, Mr. Vogel, the chief government, mentioned he advised IAC executives that he envisioned the model as "what the future of Condé Nast should be."
With Brides, Dotdash will compete towards WeddingWire and The Knot, which have spent years doling out recommendation on floral preparations and bachelorette events (a.okay.a. #bachbashes).

In an apparent U turn that has caused confusion among invited guests and journalists, PF Media Director Sunday Chanda has denied any knowledge of a press conference that he is said to have called at the PF Party Secretariat this afternoon.
Chanda is a strong protege and advocate of what many observers and political pundits view as a conspiracy theory and bizzare claim, that UPND President Hakainde Hichilema sold the Zambian mines in the Government managed privatisation exercise under the MMD in the early 90s.
In a live Radio interview with *Radio Christian Voice* yesterday, UPND President Hakainde Hichilema offered as a reward, a fully furnished three bedroomed house, to anyone who would provide evidence that he actually sold the mines.
The PF led by Sunday Chanda have pushed a political theory that has largely been unproven that Hichilema sold the mines, even though the exercise was a parliament legislated process driven by a consortium of individuals, local and international organizations which included the IMF, the World Bank and the Government of Zambia. President Fredrick Chiluba appointed former ZCCM CEO Francis Kaunda as the Chief Architect of the sale.
Mr Kaunda served a jail term after the Zambian courts established and found him guilty of abusing the proceeds of the mines sale.
It has recently surfaced that President Edgar Lungu headed one of the groups that facilitated the sale of a group of Government parastatals.
Early this year State House press aide Amos Chanda announced to the nation that Government was in the process of forming a commission of enquiry to ascertain who and how the Zambian mines were sold. Upon stumbling on the information that Mr Lungu participated in the process, the idea of forming of the commission of enquiry appeared to have been remarkably abandoned and was never brought up for further discussion.
Sunday Chanda rubbished the claims of a press conference in which he had announced that he had evidence that would enable him win the fully furnished three bedroomed offered by Mr Hichilema.
"It has been brought to my attention that UPND is circulating a fake notice to the effect that I will be holding a Press conference to react desperation of their leader regarding his role in the infamous privatization of the parastatals. The said notice is a hoax", read part of the statement by Mr Chanda.
Mr Sunday Chanda is however not a stranger to controversy. Early this year he forged a letter purported to have been written by late PP's President Mike Mulongoti who was seriously ill in a South African hospital, in which it was claimed he had severed ties with UPND President Hakainde Hichilema and that he had extended his apologies to President Edgar Lungu for having slandered him.
Former Zambian High Commission to Pretoria Emmanuel Mwamba denied Mr Mulongoti ever authored such a letter which was later traced to Sunday Chanda.
Chanda further forged a letter purported to have been authored by Saboi Imboela the spokesperson of NDC. Imboela confronted Chanda who failed to make any defense to his schemes. With the credibility gap as evidenced from the foregoing, it is therefore difficult to believe Mr Sunday Chanda's denials that he never called for a press conference at the PF Secretariet this afternoon.

Alok Nath is hiding like a rabbit in a hole, Nanda's lawyer tells sessions court in Mumbai
During the previous hearing on Thursday, the actor's lawyer had termed Nanda "Alice in Wonderland" and the allegations "a figment of her imagination"mumbai Updated: Dec 25, 2018 00:44 IST
The counsel for TV writer Vinta Nanda, who has accused Alok Nath of rape, on Monday objected to the pre-arrest bail plea of the actor in the sessions court, saying he was hiding like "a rabbit in a hole". During the previous hearing on Thursday, the actor's lawyer had termed Nanda "Alice in Wonderland" and the allegations "a figment of her imagination". The arguments will continue on Wednesday.
Calling him a "sanskari babu", Nanda's lawyer Dhruti Kapadia said, "He [Alok Nath] is sending his wife to court, while he is hiding. Why is he so afraid? Why is he absconding if he is not guilty? He ruined her reputation, her body, her soul. In India, they shame women to suppress the truth which is why they don't speak out. No one is speaking about his past, the only point is – did he or did he not rape her?"
Kapadia said Nanda was "forced" to file a criminal complaint, as she was threatened with defamation suits.

Public prosecutor KY Salunkhe said, "The information in the FIR is not barred by limitation. No one can put a finger to how a person reacts to trauma. She had mentioned the incident to her friends and her personal trainer the next morning. This means there is no delay. She even mentioned it to a reporter in 2004-2005. But her friends dissuaded her from pursuing the matter owing to his stature."
Salunkhe appealed to the court to reject the anticipatory bail plea.
Judge S Oza allowed Nanda's counsel to submit their written arguments. The court will decide on Alok Nath's plea for pre-arrest bail on Wednesday

Term Paper: Post War Policies
Pages: 6 (2716 words) · Bibliography Sources: 1+ · Level: College Senior · Topic: History - Israel · Buy This Paper
[. . .] The Middle East:
Israel Problem: American foreign policy has always supportive to Israel. Middle East is perhaps the most consistent area of conflict since the Second World War. It has experience wars and devastation during the past and one of the major factors is the foundation of Israel in 1948. There are has been relentless hostility and several wars were fought between the Arab states and Israel. This conflict continues till today and although the wars were won by Israel because of its major ally United States, there are deepening hostilities towards both Israel and United States. The United States as the world superpower not only has failed to solve this problem one of the major source of conflict in the world today but has been always supportive of Israel's occupation and its use of military in Palestine. This bias and unbalanced foreign policy is criticized all over the world, many Arab nations argue that Israel has got nuclear and Chemical weapons too, thus why war on Iraq and not on Israel. It is obvious that the Jewish lobby in the United States is very strong, most of the Republicans and Democrats funding is done by the American Jewish community and thus United States have a soft corner for Israel. The U.S. have to come up with some sort of plan or formula to solve the Middle East issue, it should be in the number one list of United States [Tolson, 2003].
The Arab Nations:
The Arab nations have always mistrusted United States and hated for its support of Israel. Although United States is the biggest buyer of the Arab oil and it also has military base in many of the Arab countries, Arab nations do not trust United States. One of the biggest factors is the U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, according to Arabs the United States has systematically targeted Islam and Muslims after the September 11 attacks. To many these attacks were a result of the poor foreign policy of the U.S. If United States after the war in Iraq does not come up with a solution of Middle East the Arab hostilities can turn into a dangerous situation. The Middle East issue is the root of most of the problems in the region and elsewhere once United States comes up with a balancing and lasting solution it can help a long way in creating 'good' and meaningful relations with Arab states and will also help to improve U.S. position in the international community.
Traditional European Allies:
United Kingdom:
Britain has been a close ally of America in the recent decades, it was the only Nation beside Australia who supported U.S. war in Iraq and took active participation in the war. The Prime Minister Tony Blair had to go through severe criticism both within the country and outside the country for supporting the war. Two of the cabinet members resigned to protest the governments involvement in the Iraq war, though Britain participated against the public opinion and opposition from Tony Blair's own government, the prime minister Tony Blair emphasized on two things, one that United Nations will have a great role to play after the war and that after this war all the focus of the allies will be one a peaceful and lasting solution of the Middle East. It is clear that Tony Blair could not ensure the role of United Nations in post-war Iraq; this has made Britain one of the strongest allies of U.S. suspicious of the U.S. policies and it can see that the U.S. is embarking on a unilateral policy in pursuit of self-interest. This can make Britain to reconsider its position regarding its support of the U.S. The U.S. policies if not changed will make it isolated in the world and will find itself facing opposition from bigger nations in the world.
Germany, France and Russia
Germany, France and Russia were strong supporters of the war in Afghanistan, the U.S. foreign policies concerning the war in Iraq and violating the United Nations regulation and international laws. France and Russia had made it clear that it will veto any resolution in the UN which proposes war on Iraq. The three big nations of Europe have been very suspicious of the U.S. foreign policies in the recent years and although President Bush claims that conflicts of big countries are over the U.S. policies of expansionism and unilateralism might trigger something big. These countries have always been supportive of the U.S. policies and it would be mistake if U.S. fails to build a coalition a strong one and take all nations together in building a prosperous world and spreading democracy all around the world.
It is clear that the U.S. foreign policies have greater goals of American expansionism and unilateralism. Preventive wars against possible threats will now be official U.S. foreign policy. If the U.S. does not change its foreign policy the opposition that has been mounting all over the world can soon turn into a dangerous situation. The administration's cynical attempt to use the United Nations for its own ends has failed. The UN stood up to crushing pressure, and said no. So did the millions of citizens of the international community who have turned out in the streets around the world, and the millions of Americans who have joined them. It is high time that we as a nation and as people of United States come together and bring in reasonable leadership and oppose these expansionism policies of our country. United States is one of the greatest nations in the history of human civilization, we as a nation have contributed greatly to the world and its progress and we have become a hub of western civilization. It is important that we should uphold the values of democracy, freedom and of justice, and spread these values.

Drake's Best Rap Lyrics About Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Warriors and RaptorsMay 26, 2019
It's no secret that Drake is a huge NBA fan, so with that in mind, it's time to look back on some of his most memorable lyrics related to the two teams in this year's NBA Finals: the Golden State Warriors and Toronto Raptors.
In "Summer Sixteen," Drake said, "Golden State running practice at my house."
Which was sort of a true story.
"[It was] me versus my brother-in-law, with Drake and his boys and some of my family in the stands," Warriors point guard Steph Curry told Adam Fleischer of MTV.com in 2016.
Curry has come up in Drake lyrics as well, such as this segment from "0-100/The Catch Up."
"If I ain't the greatest then I'm headed for it / That mean I'm way up (way up) / Yeah, the 6 ain't friendly but that's where I lay up / This s--t a mothaf--kin' lay up / I been Steph Curry with the shot / Been cookin' with the sauce, Chef Curry with the pot, boy."
And there was this line from "Still Here."
"I gotta talk to God even though he isn't near me / Based on what I got, it's hard to think that he don't hear me / Hittin' like that 30 on my jersey, man, I'm gifted."
Drake also gave a shout-out to Kevin Durant, from his Oklahoma City Thunder days, in "Weston Road Flows."
NBA on TNT @NBAonTNT
They didn't want it, but we got it!" 🔥 @Drake after the @Raptors clinch their first trip to the Finals in franchise history! https://t.co/xDqxauVKDz
"A lot of people just hit me up when my name is mentioned / Shout-out to KD, we relate, we get the same attention / It's rainin' money, Oklahoma City Thunder / The most successful rapper 35 and under."
Drake even mentioned being a Raptors team ambassador on the song "0-100/The Catch Up."
"F--k all that rap-to-pay-your-bill s--t / I'm on some Raptors-pay-my-bills s--t."
It's unclear whether massaging head coach Nick Nurse during the game is considered part of his duties as a team ambassador.
Oh, and he has his own club in Toronto's Scotiabank Arena: Sher Club. So obviously, Drake gave that some love in "30 for 30 Freestyle."
"I got a club in the Raptors arena / Championships, celebrations during regular seasons."
And of course, we can't talk Drake and basketball references without giving some attention to Raptors legend Vince Carter, as the hip-hop artist did in "Weston Road Flows."
"Been flowin' stupid since Vince Carter was on some through-the-legs, arm-in-the-hoop s--t."
From Carter to Kawhi Leonard and a berth in the NBA Finals, life is good for Drake and his fellow Raptors fans.
