We have reached the halfway point of the NBA season. LeBron James continues to put up MVP numbers, the Golden State Warriors sit atop the Western Conference, and most of the same bottom-feeding teams already find themselves fighting for the top pick. With that being said, SFE is here to break down the opening stanza of the NBA season and grade each team's performance heading into the second half starting with the Eastern Conference.
Atlanta Hawks
The expectations were not very high for the 2017-2018 Atlanta Hawks as this season was the beginning of a rebuild. Top players Dwight Howard and Paul Millsap departed in the offseason leaving behind Dennis Schroder and an unproven supporting cast. Schroder has put up decent numbers as well as Kent Bazemore and Taurean Prince providing serviceable production on the wing. John Collins has also been very impressive in his first year in the NBA averaging 11 PPG and 7 RPG thus far. Still, this Hawks team sits at the bottom of the Eastern Conference and will look to grab one of the many talented players at the top of the draft.
1st Half Grade: D+
Boston Celtics
So far, Kyrie Irving has looked pretty comfortable being the franchise player on a contending team. He's averaging 24 PPG and 5 APG and with help from a good supporting cast including Al Horford, Jayson Tatum, and Jaylen Brown, the Celtics sit at 33-10 atop the East. Tatum has really stepped up his game in his rookie season, Brown has improved his outside his shot, and Boston has some nice pieces off the bench with Marcus Smart, Terry Rozier, and Marcus Morris. While LeBron James' Cavaliers look to reach the NBA Finals yet again, the young core of Irving-Tatum-Brown will make things very interesting for years to come.
1st Half Grade: A
Brooklyn Nets
The story of the 2017-2018 Brooklyn Nets changed after the first game of the NBA season. After finishing with the worst record in the NBA last season, Brooklyn looked to lean on veteran Jeremy Lin as well as the talented youngster D'Angelo Russell. Well, it turned out that these two would not be the story as both have spent their seasons on the sidelines. Lin is out for the season and Russell has played in only 12 games. With these injuries becoming a factor, it forced some young players to take on bigger roles. Point guard Spencer Dinwiddie and forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson have grown into some pretty good NBA players. Brooklyn will look to Dinwiddie, RHJ, and the rest of their young players to keep improving as the rebuild continues.
1st Half Grade: C
Charlotte Hornets
This Hornets team has to be one of the most disappointing teams in the league this season. Kemba Walker has been doing his thing once again (22 PPG, 6 APG) and Dwight Howard is averaging a double-double in his first season in Charlotte. All the signs would point to this Hornets team as a trendy playoff team in a weak Eastern Conference but it hasn't worked out. This isn't a very good passing team and they can't let the ball get stuck in Walker or Howard's hands every possession. Charlotte's role players will need to gel with Howard and be much more consistent in the second half to compete for a playoff spot.
1st Half Grade: D
Chicago Bulls
The Bulls are one of the very few teams that sit just about where we thought they would be midway through the season. Albeit not in a good position, but it was clear to see this team is in a rebuild. Chicago looks like one of the more underrated young cores with an improved Kris Dunn, Justin Holiday, and rookie Lauri Markkanen. With Nikola Mirotic back from his injury (punched in the face) and Zach LaVine about to return, the new-look Bulls will be both fun to watch and have a top ten pick.
1st Half Grade: C+
Cleveland Cavaliers
For the last seven years, the Eastern Conference has been LeBron James' playground, reaching an unprecedented seven straight NBA Finals. Now at age 33, he is still at his career averages of 27 PPG, 8 RPG, and 9 APG and even playing point guard until Isaiah Thomas' recent return. Kevin Love looks to have found his All-Star form and Dwyane Wade has resurged playing with LeBron again. Currently, James and the Cleveland Cavaliers sit in the third seed behind the surprising Toronto Raptors and former Cavalier Kyrie Irving's Boston Celtics. We do know their so-so record doesn't reflect their place in the Eastern Conference and Cleveland is using this stretch to gel with Thomas and prepare for the playoffs.
1st Half Grade: B
Detroit Pistons
Off of a hot start, Detroit found themselves in a seven game losing streak which stopped their early momentum. Still, this Pistons team is sitting in the 7 seed and has to be content with their 1st half. The starting five has been tremendous most of the season, led by Tobias Harris, Andre Drummond, and trade acquisition Avery Bradley. The X-Factor will be if Detroit can get consistency from their bench down the stretch. Should this team make the playoffs, they would not be a tough out. The Avery Bradley move could prove to be very important as he brings great perimeter defense. Drummond will need to make his free throws though.
1st Half Grade: B
Indiana Pacers
Another team that has to like where they sit currently is the Indiana Pacers. The story in Indiana is clearly the emergence of Victor Oladipo. Taking over as the go-to guy for Paul George, Oladipo is averaging 25-5-4 and leading the Pacers to the 8 seed thus far. Oladipo and center Domantas Sabonis playing well, it looks as though the Pacers have won the trade to this point. This team also shows good depth, with six players averaging double figures. The next step for this team is for Myles Turner to take the next step if they want to compete this season.
1st Half Grade: B+
Miami Heat
And here's ANOTHER team that loves where they're at to this point. In the first half, Miami has taken advantage of some disappointing Eastern Conference teams on their way to the 4 seed. The Heat have used a balanced scoring attack and suffocating defense to fuel a strong first half. Currently with eight double digit scorers, anyone can beat you on any given night. However, heading into a playoff push, Miami will need someone to step up as the go-to guy. This could be Goran Dragic, Hasaan Whiteside, or even Dion Waiters. All in all, Miami has to love where they're at but they will need to stay consistent to host a playoff series.
1st Half Grade: A-
Milwaukee Bucks
Giannis Antetokounmpo has taken the next step we all knew was coming. The Greek Freak is currently averaging 29-10-5 and is a clear-cut MVP candidate. Alongside him are wing Khris Middleton and the super athletic Eric Bledsoe, giving them somewhat of a "Big Three". The talent hasn't really translated into a top team in the East leaving them with a 22-18 record. A playoff spot is a near lock, but fans in Milwaukee should be wanting more which starts with consistency. While the Greek Freak deserves an A, the Bucks as a team have been slightly disappointing.
1st Half Grade: C
New York Knicks
The problems in New York were very clear. Aside from the GM/Ownership's inability to quality players to New York, the Knicks needed to move on from Carmelo Anthony. His ball dominance was stunting Kristaps Porzingis' growth and not helping win games anyways. Now that this is KP's team, we have seen glimpses of what this team can become. Porzingis is averaging 24-7 while handling all the publicity in New York while a plethora of role players are helping contribute. Heck, even Michael Beasley looks serviceable. Unlike in previous years, the Knicks have a real future with KP, Frank Ntilikina, and Enes Kanter leading the way. With that being said, they are not ready this year.
1st Half Grade: C+
Orlando Magic
Life is difficult for me as an Orlando Magic fan. It just seems like this franchise plays their way to being just outside the top 3 pick in the draft every year. Aaron Gordon when healthy has looked as close to a star as Orlando has (19 PPG, 8 RPG) and free agent acquisition Jonathon Simmons has been a good pickup. Health has been the biggest issue for Orlando as the entire starting five hasn't played together in months. The Magic look like they need to trade one of Evan Fournier, Nikola Vucevic, or Elfrid Payton and shake this roster up because they still aren't close.
1st Half Grade: D
Philadelphia 76ers
Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid have lived up to the hype and look like perennial All-Stars. Although, first round pick Markelle Fultz hasn't touched the floor since the first week of the season. The Sixers' young core (Simmons, Embiid, Saric, Covington, Fultz) appear to be a year away. While "trusting the process" has almost payed its dividends, the Sixers need to learn how to consistently win. Alongside Simmons and Embiid, Philly has some veterans in JJ Redick and Amir Johnson to help the youngsters through the second half. I had them as a borderline playoff team as they are so it will be interesting to see how they play in the second half.
1st Half Grade: B-
Toronto Raptors
"The Six" should be very happy with their hometown team's first half. The Raptors are 28-11 and have a 14-2 record at home this season, a start that Toronto fans had been hoping for for years. DeMar DeRozan could be a darkhorse MVP candidate, averaging 25-4-5 alongside the core of Kyle Lowry and Serge Ibaka. Complementing the big three, Jonas Valanciunas, Delon Wright, and CJ Miles have been playing very well and converting close games into wins. The question in Toronto is of course: Can they play at a high level into the postseason?
1st Half Grade: A
Washington Wizards
The Nation's capital has been one of the most unlucky markets in sports with little postseason success in recent years. The Wizards have been no different, representing one of the Eastern Conference teams that can't get over the hump in the playoffs (somewhat due to LeBron). John Wall is doing what he does averaging 19-9 and Bradley Beal is averaging a career-high 24 PPG. Although, Washington hasn't made any necessary moves to get over the hump and it is showing in their record. Sitting in the 5 seed, the Wiz have been beating good teams but not taking care of business against sub-.500 teams. Something needs to change if they want to ever get to the Finals.

text: NY Times, Jan. 9 2015 Police Gave Boy No Aid After Shooting in Cleveland By RICHARD A. OPPEL Jr. The two Cleveland police officers involved in the fatal shooting of Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old boy who was carrying a pellet gun, stood by without rendering medical aid as the boy lay wounded next to their patrol car, a newly released extended surveillance video shows. Then, about a minute and a half after one officer had shot Tamir, the other officer tackled the boy's 14-year-old sister as she tried to reach her brother. Tamir was shot Nov. 22 after someone called 911 to report "a guy" who had been pointing a "probably fake" pistol outside a community recreation center on Cleveland's west side. The video, obtained by the Northeast Ohio Media Group, provided fresh detail about a shooting that roiled Cleveland and quickly became the latest shooting to be absorbed into a broader national narrative about police violence in African-American communities. The surveillance tape also seemed to clarify an issue in the shooting investigation: that the officers provided no immediate medical assistance to Tamir, who was not pronounced dead until more than nine hours later at a Cleveland hospital. An autopsy by the Cuyahoga County medical examiner later found that Tamir died from a gunshot wound to the abdomen. In addition, it confirmed the account that Tamir's mother, Samaria Rice, gave in the weeks after the shooting, that the police had tackled and detained her daughter as she rushed out of the recreation center, trying to reach her brother's side. After the second Cleveland officer, Frank Garmback, subdued Tamir's sister — he pushed her to the ground back-first, tumbling on top of her in the process — the girl was handcuffed and put in the back of the police cruiser, a few feet from her brother. The officers stood by without tending to Tamir, the extended video showed. It was not until four minutes after the shooting, the video showed, that Tamir received medical assistance when another man was seen bent down next to him. According to Benjamin Crump, the Rice family's lawyer, the man who provided the first medical assistance was an F.B.I. agent who was in the neighborhood. Paramedics arrived eight minutes after the shooting, and Tamir was taken away on a stretcher about five minutes later, the video shows. A shorter surveillance video released earlier showed Tamir being shot by a rookie Cleveland officer, Timothy Loehmann, seconds after the police cruiser arrived and skidded to a stop next to the boy at a gazebo outside the recreation center. The black pistol that Tamir had, which looked like a real handgun, was an imitation. His mother later said it had been given to Tamir to play with by a friend that afternoon. The police said Tamir was told to raise his hands but instead reached to his waistband for the gun, though the previously released surveillance video showed that the shooting happened so fast, it was hard to know whether the officer issued any warnings or whether Tamir could have understood them if he did. The killing, which occurred two weeks before a Justice Department report concluded that the Cleveland police had a pattern of "unreasonable and unnecessary use of force," angered many residents of the city, which has a black majority. On Thursday, the city's media relations director, Dan Williams, said the extended video was released once it was clear that it would not interfere with the investigation. "My intent was to get it out so the public could see all of the tape," Mr. Williams said. A Cleveland police spokeswoman said they could not comment because the shooting was under investigation. Officials from Cleveland's main police union did not respond to a request for comment. In an interview, Mr. Crump called the events on the video "outrageous and inhumane." "How inhumane to put her in handcuffs and sit her in the car about four feet from where her brother lay dying," Mr. Crump said of Tamir's sister, "and she has to watch that. And they rendered no aid to this kid." Family members thought it was important, Mr. Crump said, for "people see this video as they continue to fight for justice and see whether the grand jury will hold the police officer accountable." Mr. Crump said an audio recording from a phone of someone at the recreation center indicated Tamir was alive when the officers were detaining his sister. The recording, he said, reveals that a teenager had tried to calm Tamir's sister as she rushed to the shooting, saying: "He's not dead. He's still moving." Officer Loehmann, 26, who fired the fatal shot, had quit a suburban police force after his supervisors determined two years ago that he had had a "dangerous loss of composure" during firearms training and was emotionally unprepared to cope with stresses of the job. The Cleveland police acknowledged that they had never reviewed the previous police personnel file of Officer Loehmann. Both officers have been placed on restricted duty.

|The special remainder to the Earldom of Rosslyn
|From the "London Gazette" of 14 April 1801 (issue 15355, page 406):-
|"The King has been pleased to grant the Dignity of an Earl of the United Kingdom of Great Britain
|and Ireland, to the Right Honorable Alexander Lord Loughborough and the Heirs Male of his Body
|lawfully begotten, by the Name, Style, and Title of Earl of Rosslyn, in the County of Mid Lothian,
|with Remainder to the Heirs Male, lawfully begotten, of the Body of Lady Janet Erskine,
|deceased, Sister to the said Alexander Lord Loughborough, and Widow of Sir Henry Erskine of
|Alva, Baronet."
|Francis Edward Scudamore St.Clair-Erskine, styled Baron Loughborough, eldest
|son of the 5th Earl of Rosslyn (16 Nov 1892-4 Aug 1929)
|Lord Loughborough died from injuries sustained in a fall, as reported in the "Manchester Guardian"
|of 5 August 1929:-
|'Lord Loughborough, eldest son of the Earl of Rosslyn, died in London yesterday morning. Lord
|Loughborough, who was 36, had been staying with friends at a house in Holland Street West,
|and early yesterday morning was found lying unconscious in the back garden, in his night
|clothes, having fallen from the fourth floor of the house where his bedroom was.
|'The police and an ambulance were called, and he was taken to the nearest hospital. The Earl
|of Rosslyn, who was at Horsham, was summoned, and reached his son's bedside before the end.
|'The body is lying at St. Mary Abbott's Hospital, Kensington, pending an inquest.
|'Miss Violet Macdonald, one of the family living at the house where the tragedy occurred, said
|that Lord Loughborough was a friend of long standing. "He often visited us," she said. "Last night
|he came with a mutual friend, a doctor. They had had dinner, and Lord Loughborough was to
|spend the week-end with us. We sat down to have a game of cards and played 'rummy.' Our
|party, in addition to Lord Loughborough and the doctor, included my aunt and a lady from South
|Africa who is visiting her.
|"We played until about eleven o'clock, when the doctor left, and when we went upstairs Lord
|Loughborough was shown the room in which he was to sleep. It was my mother's room. She is
|now in the Highlands. He said he did not want to have it because he felt sure he was putting us
|to some inconvenience. We assured him that he was not, but he still persisted that he ought not
|to take that room. Eventually we fixed up another room for him, and then we all went to bed."
|'Lord Loughborough had not appeared to be very well, and later their doctor friend returned.
|"Shortly afterwards came the discovery of the tragedy," continued Miss Macdonald. "The doctor
|heard a groan. My aunt and her friend went out into the back, and there found Lord
|Loughborough lying on the crazy paving beneath the window of his room. His room was on the
|fourth floor, and he had fallen quite thirty feet. We immediately sent for the police and an
|ambulance, and he was taken to hospital. Apparently there he regained consciousness for a
|little before he died.
|"It was a terrible shock to us, for he has been such a charming fellow, and we all liked him
|immensely. He brought several bags with him as he was going to stay the week-end, and I
|believe he was going on to stay somewhere else after he left us."
|'Miss Macdonald's aunt said: "It is a most distressing thing. We were very fond of Lord
|Loughborough. About ten o'clock he used the phone to ring someone at Eastbourne, and he
|seemed a little upset when he came back. After the doctor had heard groaning and we went out
|into the back we saw Lord Loughborough lying on the crazy pavement. He was still moaning
|slightly, and his leg was fractured in two places."
|At the subsequent inquest Lord Loughborough was found to have committed suicide while he was
|of temporarily unsound mind.
|The special remainder to the Barony of Rossmore created in 1796
|From the "London Gazette" of 25 October 1796 (issue 13944, page 1017):-
|'His Majesty's Royal Letter being received, granting the Dignity of a Baron of this Kingdom [i.e.
|Ireland] to the Right Honorable Robert Cuninghame, General in His Majesty's Forces, and the Heirs
|Male of his Body lawfully begotten, by the Nmae, Stile and Title of Lord Rossmore, of Monaghan,
|with Remainders respectively to Henry Alexander Nathaniel Jones, Esq; William Warner Westenra,
|Esq; and Henry Westenra, Esq; Grandsons of Mary Lady Blayney, deceased. Letters Patent are
|preparing to be passed under the Great Seal of this Kingdom accordingly.'
|Robert Cuninghame, 1st Baron Rossmore
|Cuninghame was an army officer who rose to the rank of General and was Commander-in-
|Chief in Ireland between 1793 and 1796. In recognition of his services, he was created
|Baron Rossmore in 1796. Because he had no children, the title was granted a special
|remainder to his wife's nephews [see previous note]. Cuninghame's death was both sudden
|and unexpected.
|One of his neighbours was Sir Jonah Barrington, who is best remembered for his book
|'Personal Sketches of his Own Times' (3 vols, 1827-1832) which contain vivid portraits
|of a number of his contemporaries. These books also contain the following passages:-
|'This intimacy at Mount Kennedy [Rossmore's house] gave rise to an occurrence the most
|extraordinary and inexplicable of my whole existence………We [Barrington and his wife]
|retired to our chamber about twelve, and towards two in the morning I was awakened by
|a sound of a very extraordinary nature. I listened; it occurred first at short intervals, it
|resembled neither a voice nor an instrument, it was softer than any voice, and wilder than
|any music, and seemed to float in the air…..At length I awakened Lady Barrington, who
|heard it as well as myself……We now went to a large window in our bedroom which looked
|directly upon a small garden underneath; the sound seemed to ascend from a grass-plot
|immediately below our window. Lady Barrington requested that I call up her maid…….The
|sounds lasted for more than half an hour. At last a deep, throbbing sigh seemed to issue
|from the spot, and was shortly succeeded by a sharp but low cry, thrice repeated, of
|"Rossmore - Rossmore- Rossmore!"…….The maid fled in terror……about a minute after, the
|sound died gradually away until all was silent.
|'About seven the ensuing morning a strong rap at my chamber door awakened me…. I went
|to the door, when my faithful servant, Lawler, exclaimed on the other side, 'O Lord, sir!'
|'What is the matter?' Said I hurriedly. 'O sir!, Lord Rossmore's footman was running past the
|door in great haste and he told me that my lord had gone to bed in perfect health, but that
|about half-after two this morning his own man, hearing a noise…..went to him and found him
|in the agonies of death……'
|Barrington then realised that the triple repetition of Rossmore's name had coincided with the
|very moment of Rossmore's death.
|Derrick Warner William Westenra, 5th Baron Rossmore
|Lord Rossmore's recollections were published in 1912 under the title "Things I Can Tell." The
|following [edited] review of these recollections appeared in the Hobart "Mercury" on 24 October
|'A sheaf of good stories are always worth passing on. The following were gleaned in the smoking-
|room of Lord Rossmore, a genial Irish peer, who was just published his "Recollections," or, rather,
|some of his recollections, under the title "Things I Can Tell." The whole book leaves one
|wondering as to the things Lord Rossmore cannot tell. It may be that they are reserved for a
|future volume. Lord Rossmore was a friend of the late King Edward. Since boyhood he has moved
|in what are known as the best circles. If there is little that is edifying in his book, there is much
|that is amusing, and little that is harmful. I give a few specimens of its observation and its
|humour as typical of the best type of British sportsman.
|'Lord Rossmore tells an amusing Bacchanalian story dating from the time when he was a
|magistrate at Monaghan, and therefore, may be true.
|"An old offender was asked - 'You here again?' 'Yes, your honour.' 'What's brought you here?'
|'Two policemen, your honour.' 'Come, come, I know that - drunk again, I suppose?' 'Yes, your
|honour, both of them.'
|'Irish stories naturally predominate in "Things I Can Tell." Here is one which has a topical interest
|in these days of accident insurance. It concerns a certain Lady Pilkington. A friend called upon
|her ladyship, accompanied by a poodle. Going out, the ladies chanced to meet an old beggar
|woman, whose appearance so annoyed the dog that it promptly bit the mendicant, whose howls
|and lamentations terrified kind-hearted Lady Pilkington. "Here, my poor woman, here's ten shillings
|for you," she said nervously tendering the coin.
|'The old woman grabbed it, and then fell on her knees in the middle of the road, and started
|praying for all she was worth, regardless of mud or motors.
|"All people say the lower orders are irreligious and ungrateful," soliloquised her ladyship, who was
|quite touched by the exhibition.
|'At last the supplications became more and more vehement and curiosity prompted the donor to
|inquire what special blessings were being invoked. "What are you praying for?" said she. The old
|vagrant stopped and looked at her sympathetic inquirer. "Sure an' I'm askin' the blessed saints to
|persuade the crathur to bite me on the other leg," she said.
|'Another dog story was told by Consuela, Duchess of Manchester. It relates to the days when
|Pasteur was in the height of his fame, and everyone who was bitten by a dog went post haste to
|Paris for immediate inoculation.
|"'A young American girl burst into the hotel room one day waving a letter in tremendous
|excitement and shouting - Hooray, hooray, ain't it glorious!" "What on earth's the matter?" asked
|everybody. "What's glorious?" "I'm just real happy," she cried, doing a dance around the room.
|"Here's Poppa been bitten by a mad dog, and we're off to Paris in the morning."
|'Lord Rossmore tells the following good story of Sir John Ashley [presumably a misprint for Sir
|John Astley (1828-1894), a well-known devotee of the Turf]: "I knew the Mate (Sir John Ashley)
|very well, and I remember how he used to tell a story about having his watch stolen at Epsom.
|Sir John had a curious habit of speaking about himself as 'Ashley,' and he blended the third
|person singular with the first person in the most unusual way. This is how he used to narrate
|what happened: - 'Ashley went to the Derby, and I'm blessed if Ashley's ticker wasn't stolen from
|him. As it had been given me, and I prized it, I went to the head pick-pocket, with whom I was
|acquainted, and said 'See here, they've taken Ashley's ticker.' 'The man blushed. 'Good Lord, you
|don't mean it, Sir John?' he stammered. 'Will you have the goodness to just wait 'ere? I'll be back
|in a jiffy.' He was back in three minutes with Ashley's ticker, which he handed over, saying, most
|humbly, as he did so, 'I 'ope, Sir John, you'll accept the apologies of the 'ole fraternity; it was
|quite a mistake, and it was done by a noo beginner.'
|The Rothes peerage
|The Leslie family traces its ancestry back to the 11th century when Bartolf or Berthold, a
|Hungarian nobleman, accompanied Margaret, the intended wife of King Malcom III of Scotland,
|in her travels to Scotland. Malcolm III (who had the sobriquet Canmore, meaning "big-head"
|or "long-neck") is traditionally associated with the defeat of Macbeth in Shakespeare's play.
|Margaret was canonised by the Church in 1250.
|Bartolf appears to have won great favour from Malcolm III, marrying the King's sister, Beatrix
|and being granted extensive lands, particularly around Lesslyn in Aberdeenshire, from whence
|the family took its name. Bartolf was also Chamberlain to Queen Margaret, and it is said that
|on one occasion, it being his duty to carry the Queen on his own horse whenever she travelled,
|they were crossing a swollen stream when the horse stumbled, and the Queen nearly fell off.
|She saved herself by grabbing hold of Bartolf's buckle, asking "gin the buckle bide?" ("will the
|buckle hold?"). Bartolf implored her to "grip fast." After this incident, Bartolf had two extra
|buckles added to his belt. The three buckles have ever since been incorporated into the family's
|coat of arms, which also contains the motto "Grip fast."
|The 7th Earl was a great favourite of King Charles II, who created him first (and only) Duke of
|Rothes in 1680. When the Duke died the following year, Charles II decreed that since the Duke
|had died in the service of his King, he should be buried with all the ceremony befitting the
|death of a monarch. Accordingly, the Duke's body was transported, with great ceremony, from
|Edinburgh to Fife, at a huge cost. King Charles forgot to pay the bill, and died before it could
|be collected from him, and his successor, James II, refused to honour the debt. As a result,
|the family was forced to mortgage the estates and spent the next 200 years in paying off the
|The Earldom can descend through the female line, with the result that there have been five
|Countesses of Rothes in their own right.
|One of these Countesses was Henrietta Anne Leslie, 14th in line. While a young girl, she fell in
|love with George Gwyther, an illiterate gardener employed by her father on his estates. They
|married secretly in 1806, when she was only 16, and the marriage remained secret until she
|succeeded to her father's titles eleven years later. Her husband changed his surname to Leslie
|so as to retain the ancient family name.
|Another Countess (although not in her own right) deserves notice. She was Noel Dyer-
|Edwardes, who married the 19th Earl of Rothes in 1900. In April 1912, the Countess was aboard
|the ill-fated 'Titanic' on its maiden voyage, and after the liner had struck the iceberg, she
|acquitted herself admirably. According to a report in the 'New York Times' of 20 April 1912:-
|One able bodied seaman who shipped aboard the Titanic when she left Southampton is tired
|and a little listless and subdued from the things he lived through last Monday, but his eyes
|light up and his speech becomes animated when you ask him what part the women played in
|the trying hours after the Titanic sank.
|"There was a woman in my boat as was a woman," he said yesterday, straitening her honor.
|"She was the Countess of Rothes, and let me tell you about her. I was one of those who were
|ordered to man the boats, and my place was in No. 8. There were thirty five of us in that boat,
|mostly women, but there were some men along.
|"I was in command, but I had to row, and I wanted someone at the tiller. And I saw the way
|she was carrying herself, and I heard the quiet, determined way she spoke to the others, and
|I knew she was more of a man than any we had on board. And I put her in command. I put her
|at the tiller, and she was at the tiller when the Carpathia came along five hours later."
|The Earls of Rothes also hold an unusual hereditary prerogative, in that they hold the right to
|remove the sovereign's boots on his return from any state function or ceremony which takes
|place in Scotland.
|Walter Runciman, 1st Baron Runciman
|The following biography of Lord Runciman appeared in the September 1965 issue of the
|Australian monthly magazine "Parade":-
|'One foggy day in March 1865, the collier-brig Blake lay becalmed in the North Sea. Usually
|employed on the east coast of England, her master seldom ventured out of sight of land. This
|trip, however, she was bound for Rotterdam and the skipper had no idea how to get there. At
|that time, before the Education Act of 1870, illiteracy was common in England and many coastal
|captains could scarcely write their own names. When the captain of the Blake admitted he did
|not know where they were, nor in which direction Rotterdam might lie, the mate suggested that
|the chart might help. Although by no means optimistic, the skipper ordered the 17-year-old
|apprentice, Walter Runciman, to bring all the charts he could find. When the lad rummaged out
|a ragged chart of the North Sea which obviously hadn't been consulted for years, the shipmaster
|became panic-stricken. "There'll be no Rotterdam for us this trip," he proclaimed in despairing
|tones. "The bloody rats have eaten Holland."
|'Luckily for the Blake, young Runciman, who was studying navigation in his brief moments of
|leisure, owned a cheap atlas. With its aid, the advice of the cook who had been to Rotterdam
|before, and the captain's combination of experience and instinct, the collier reached her
|destination. But the incident, typical of much North Sea navigation a century ago, stuck in
|Runciman's mind and reinforced his resolution to learn all he could about his trade. It was unlikely
|that he would ever command a ship, but if he did, at least he would know where he was going.
|His prospects of advancement were so bleak that his mother, who hated the sea, had warned
|him that he would either be drowned or finish up in a home for distressed sailors as many of her
|relatives had done. But Walter Runciman was indestructible. Nearly 80 adventurous years later
|he was still afloat - but in his own luxurious private yacht.
|'Among the last of the great independent shipping magnates, he was one of the few who had
|climbed every rung of the ladder by their own efforts. Born in Dunbar, Scotland, in 1847,
|Runciman was the son of a schooner captain whose wife had persuaded him to take a coast-
|guard's shore job at Cresswell on the coast of Northumberland. His most vivid childhood
|memories were of tremendous storms in the North Sea and of lifeboats putting out to take
|people from ships rolling themselves to pieces in the surf. Although every winter brought such
|disasters they had little effect on the youth of the district, where a man who had not been to
|sea was scarcely regarded as a man at all.
|'On his twelfth birthday Runciman left home, trudged along the shore to the port of Blyth and
|shipped as cabin boy on the collier-barque Harperley, whose captain was proud of the nickname
|"Hellfire Jack." Runciman's mother had told him it was better to be a Russian serf than a sailor,
|but the young sailor soon discovered that she had understated the case. Entering or leaving
|port, his place was in the main chains heaving the lead and chanting the soundings. In port he
|cooked for the captain and mate, and put up with the consequences if he took too much skin
|off the potatoes. It was his job to scull the captain ashore and wait for him, all night if
|necessary, while Hellfire Jack spent a convivial evening in some waterside tavern.
|'Other work being slack he was sent aloft to tar the stays, a hazardous and acrobatic feat for a
|boy of 12. It involved climbing down a rope while holding a tarpot and brush. If he spilled tar on
|the deck it meant a rope's-ending from Hellfire Jack. If he fell, the penalty was death. Arduous in
|fair weather, the life was almost intolerable during the northern winter when sails and rigging
|were stiff with ice and the spray that blew inboard froze on the men's clothing.
|The Harperley was mainly employed freighting coal to Scandinavian countries. From the North
|Sea came an abrupt transition to the tropics when the Harperley was chartered to take coal to
|East Africa and bring back a cargo of guano from the uninhabited Kuria Muria Islands, off the
|Arabian Coast [25 miles off the south-east coast of Oman]. No labour being available, the crew
|had to load the ship, shovelling the guano into baskets and manhandling it on board. It took
|more than a month to fill the holds, by which time heat, dust, bad water, worse food and
|incessant toil had put most of the men on the sick list. But Hellfire Jack regarded no man as ill
|while he could stand up. Dosing them with lime juice and Epsom salts, he carried on.
|Long before the ship returned to England, Runciman had had enough of the Harperley and her
|captain. The climax came when Hellfire Jack knocked him down and blackened both his eyes.
|Regarding this as a signal to leave, the boy deserted, laid low for a while and joined the brig
|Maid Of Athens. She, too, was a collier, but her master, Captain Davison, though not particularly
|competent, was at least goodhearted. One night during heavy weather in the Bay of Biscay the
|brig sprang a leak. Leaving the anxious mate in charge on deck, Davison went down to
|investigate. "Slip down behind him, boy," said the mate to Runciman. "If the old man keeps on
|swearing we'll be all right. But if he starts to pray we're done for." Fortunately the captain's
|language merely became stronger than usual and the Maid of Athens survived.
|'Despite everything, Runciman regarded the sea as his vocation and had no desire to give it up
|for life ashore. Rated an AB at 18, he began studying for a master's certificate, a seemingly
|hopeless task for a boy with practically no education. When he was 20 he spent a month
|cramming with a tutor in London. Finally, after passing the examination, he got a berth as
|second mate, on the West India-bound ship Isabella. Formerly a notoriously violent man with a
|flow of profanity which startled even his crew, the captain of the Isabella had been converted
|by his own steward and swung so far to the opposite extreme that he held revival services on
|board. Declaring that he had found salvation, he urged all his men to do the same.
|'A master mariner at the age of 22, Runciman soon won renown as one of the most able skippers
|on the high seas. Many of the sailors of his time refused to admit that the days of sail were
|drawing to an end but to Runciman the signs were clear. In 1877 he said farewell to windjammers
|and became captain of the 1750 ton steam freighter Coanwood. In 1885, when Runciman was
|still only 38, his doctor gave him bad tidings. According to the medico, his constitution had been
|undermined by 26 years at sea. But if he came ashore and took things easy he might hope for a
|few more years of life. Up to a point Runciman followed his advice. He came ashore, but instead
|of throwing up his hands, he put all his savings into a 1200-ton steamer, the Dudley, which had
|been lying in the Tyne River for several years. A composite vessel, she was equipped with both
|sails and engines. At once Runciman dispensed with the sails and refitted her with more efficient
|'The Dudley's first venture nearly proved ruinous. Securing a cargo for Russia, Runciman
|dispatched her to Archangel. The next thing he heard was that she had run down a Russian ship
|and was being detained by the authorities pending the payment of compensation. Scraping
|together all the money he could raise, he sent it to the British vice-consul at Archangel, who
|pocketed it and was never heard of again. After drawn-out negotiations conducted through the
|British Foreign Office, the Dudley was eventually released, but it was a long time before she
|earned what the vice-consul had made off with.
|'Undeterred by this setback, Runciman battled on. When the trade slump of the late 1880s
|reduced the price of ships, he bought several cheaply and established the South Shields
|Steamship Company. He improved conditions for his crews to such a degree that one
|embittered competitor asserted that he should be thrown into the sea with a fire bar tied to his
|neck before he ruined the business. Although many thought Runciman was headed straight for
|bankruptcy, he prospered. When the South Shields line expanded into the Moor Company, the
|former cabin boy owned 25 steamers, most of them built to his specifications.
|'The loyalty of Runciman's officers and crews astonished other shipowners, but he could be
|firm enough when necessary. One such occasion was when a captain bound for South America
|returned in record time with his cargo still under hatches. He explained that he had a vision in
|which he was warned that if he proceeded any further he would lose the ship. Runciman thought
|this was carrying superstition to preposterous lengths. "I had a vision too, captain," he said.
|"What's more, it's come true. In my vision, I saw you on the beach with all your dunnage and
|that's just where you're going to be."
|'By 1914 Runciman, as chairman of both the Moor and the Anchor Lines, controlled more than 140
|ships trading to all parts of the world. Reversing the normal order of things he followed his son
|into the House of Commons long after the younger Runciman had become a cabinet minister. But
|there was nothing orthodox about Runciman. He had gone to sea at the age of 12, became a
|famous yachtsman when he was 75 and crowned everything by joining the Royal Naval Volunteer
|Reserve when he was 89.
|'One of the last magnates of the Victorian era and one of the most genial, he was raised to the
|peerage shortly before he died in 1937. The veteran saw an immense panorama of maritime
|history during his 90 years. Born before the first clipper took the water, he lived long enough to
|be a guest at the launching of the 81,000-ton Queen Mary.'
|John Francis Stanley Russell, 2nd Earl Russell
|Russell was tried in the House of Lords on a charge of bigamy on 18 July 1901. The indictment
|read that Russell had married, on 6 February 1890, Mabel Edith Scott, and, while still married to
|her, he married on 15 April 1900, at the Riverside Hotel in Reno, Nevada, Molly Cooke, otherwise
|known as Molly Somerville. Russell pleaded guilty to the charge and was sentenced to three
|months' imprisonment in Holloway.
|This was, however, not the first time that Russell had experienced marital difficulties. Within less
|than four months, he and Mabel had separated, and in less than a year Mabel filed an action for
|judicial separation on the grounds of alleged cruelty. The particulars of the action contained
|veiled accusations to the effect that Earl Russell had been guilty of immoral conduct with a Mr.
|Herbert Roberts, the head mathematical master at Bath College. It was, however, proved that
|no such immoral conduct had taken place, Russell and Roberts were completely exonerated and
|Mabel's petition was denied.
|After her defeat, Mabel went to live with her mother, Lady Maria Selina Scott, widow of Sir
|Claude Scott, 4th baronet [1821]. The divorce proceedings were no sooner over than there
|appeared in a disreputable publication called The Hawk an account of an interview with Mabel
|which repeated the accusation of immoral conduct. In 1894, Mabel, who had sought the
|separation order in 1891, now filed a petition for restitution of conjugal rights, but Russell
|counter-petitioned claiming that "he was entitled to a judicial separation from his wife who had
|made such baseless and terrible charges against him - charges made, defeated, withdrawn,
|apologized for but, as soon as the trial was over, repeated in a newspaper."
|In the meantime, Lady Scott embarked upon a campaign to dig up any dirt she could find on Earl
|Russell, hiring detectives to do so. Three men were discovered who at one time were in Russell's
|employment and who signed false statements regarding Russell's behaviour. These statements
|were then circulated by Lady Scott.
|In January 1897, Lady Scott and her two remaining co-defendants (the other had died in the
|meantime) were found guilty of publishing false, malicious and defamatory libels against Earl
|Russell. Each defendant was sentenced to eight months' imprisonment.
|Earl Russell was finally divorced from Mabel Scott in 1901. He subsequently married twice more,
|both marriages ending in divorce.
|John Conrad Russell, 4th Earl Russell
|Russell received his early education at his parents' experimental school in Hampshire where there
|were no compulsory lessons and where the children were encouraged to express themselves,
|often to the point of rudeness.
|He worked briefly for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN, but after the failure of his
|marriage to Susan Lindsay (daughter of American poet Vachel Lindsay), he became a recluse. He
|occupied himself by writing and crocheting, including a pair of trousers which he crocheted out
|of string; 'It took a long time because I didn't have a pattern. I had to keep trying them on.'
|Russell's real claim to fame was, however, his remarkable speeches in the House of Lords,
|especially one classic speech made in 1978, in a debate on the victims of crime. He began by
|proposing that the police should be disbanded and replaced by the Salvation Army, who should
|give lawbreakers cups of tea. All prisons should be abolished as 'kindness and helping people is
|better than punishing them.' When there were rumblings of dissent from his fellow peers, he
|asked them; ''What are you? Soulless robots? The police ought to be totally prevented from
|ever molesting young people at all or ever putting them in gaols and raping them or putting them
|into brothels or sending them out to serve other people sexually against their wills.'
|He was by now getting warmed up. He continued, 'Working is wrong, being in any case the
|curse visited by God upon Adam…..upper classes are right and should be restored to vogue…
|everybody should become a leisured aristocrat.' Some of his fellow peers were no doubt
|confused when he asserted that 'aristocrats are Marxist. The Lord Chancellor holds the Order of
|Lenin. The fulfilment of industrial life is Tonga and the South Sea Islands and not the satanic
|mills at all. Shops ought to supply goods without payment so that all motive for stealing
|On Women's Liberation he said that 'Women's Lib would be realised by girls being given a
|house of their own at the age of twelve, with three-quarters of the wealth of the State
|being given to the girls in houses of their own to support them; so that marriage would be
|abolished and a girl could have as many husbands as she liked.' As for Men's Lib; 'The men
|should receive the remaining quarter of the national wealth and can, if they like, live in
|communal huts.'
|Russell then pointed out that 'Mr Brezhnev and President Jimmy Carter are really the same
|person. What makes it abundantly clear is the saying of "Little Audrey" who laughed and
|laughed because she knew that only God could make a tree.'
|While on the subject of religion, 'there should be revolutions throughout Latin America, in
|accordance with the wish of His Holiness the Pope. Since the so-called Protestants who govern
|Britain are spiritless papal bum-boys, if they cannot take charge of themselves and find the
|spirit, the confidence and power to remove British arms and all Protestants from Ulster, they
|should find the said confidence and power to remove them…..All soldiers and police throughout
|the Northern Hemisphere should disappear. They and their functions are no longer necessary
|and are out of date.'
|He also advocated that 'naked bathing on beaches or in rivers ought to be universal. Is it not
|better to defend the city before it is fallen? Better than to arrive too late and defend only what
|would have been, if it had not already gone.'
|In summing up, Russell said 'These points are the chief requirements for the future of the
|human race. They should be realised briskly and with discipline. Since the police and bourgeois
|bosses are and have been anti-aristocratical, the House of Lords is indisputably Marxist and
|inherits the banner of the Red Army of the Soviet Union.'
|Charles Russell, Baron Russell of Killowen (creation of 1894)
|The following biography of Lord Russell of Killowen appeared in the Australian monthly magazine
|"Parade" in its issue for December 1954:-
|'There was uproar in the Irish village of Killowen. To add to the menace of starvation in a year of
|famine, a fence was being built round land long regarded as the village common. Too poor to pay
|for justice, an angry deputation of villagers stalked off to get the advice of young Charlie Russell,
|a local lad articled to a solicitor and counted right smart at the law. With the air of a High Court
|Judge, Charlie delivered his verdict. The fence was illegal, he said, and he stumped back to the
|village to help knock it down.
|'Thus began, in 1849, the notable career of an Irish lad who became one of England's most
|distinguished Lord Chief Justices - who at the Bar and on the Bench, in the Commons and the
|Lords, was destined to play a leading part in most of the great judicial causes of the next fifty
|years. Appropriately enough, upon his elevation to the peerage he chose as his title that of
|"Baron Russell of Killowen."
|'The Russells were an old Catholic family, originally Anglo-Normans, who had settled in Northern
|Ireland in the 12th century. Arthur Russell, Lord Russell's father, was a sea captain. As a young
|man he had fallen in love with a Margaret Mullan, the daughter of a Belfast merchant, but had
|had to give way to a rival. However, on the rival's death he had renewed his suit, this time
|successfully, and they were married in 1825, when he bought a brewery and settled down at
|Newry, in County Down, where Charles Russell was born on November 10, 1832.
|'He had three elder sisters and a younger brother, all of whom entered the Church. His mother,
|a handsome, clever and strong-willed woman, brought up her ten children (there were also five
|from her first marriage) with Spartan discipline and saved them from being spoiled by their
|indulgent father. For a time the family was affluent enough to have a country home overlooking
|the village of Killowen; but the father died, the family returned to Newry, and Charles was put, at
|17, to earning a living and was articled to his step-brother, a solicitor in Newry. Three years
|later, and shortly after his playing Solomon in the affair at Killowen, he transferred his articles
|to a solicitor in Belfast, where he was encouraged, after qualifying in 1854, to set up practice
|for himself as a solicitor by a Dr. Mulholland, whose wife was an old friend of his mother and
|whose daughter Ellen became his sweetheart.
|'It was a troublous period when strife between the Orange and the Green waxed fierce. Young
|Russell had already become known for his interest in the nationalist Young Ireland movement and
|it was natural that his first clients would be Catholics involved in court proceedings following
|fracases with Orangemen. These cases brought him plenty of notoriety, but little monetary
|return, as most of his clients could not afford to pay fees. As a way of earning a living his Belfast
|practice was not a success. This, coupled with the thrill he found in the courtroom, compared
|with the monotony of office routine, turned his thoughts to the Bar. He resolved to seek
|admission as a barrister, and enrolled at Trinity College, Dublin, and two years later went to
|London to enter Lincoln's Inn.
|'In 1858, when he passed his last examination, he returned to Ulster, married Ellen, and brought
|her to London, where they set up in a small house in Earl's Court. He had himself assigned to the
|northern circuit, and his uncle, Dr. Russell, president of Maynooth College, gave him introductions
|to some wealthy Irish merchants and a leading solicitor in Liverpool. This gave him a start - and a
|start was all he needed.
|'He was handicapped by a temper which he was not always able to control, and, curiously
|enough, by a lack of fluency. But he made up for these defects by remarkable strength of
|personality. He was a big, well-built young man with a strong, striking face and a rich voice which
|never quite lost its native brogue. From his first appearance in the Passage Court - on whose
|procedure he published a book which became an authority - he did not look back, and for ten
|years his earnings averaged £3000 a year. In 1872, after two unsuccessful applications, he "took
|silk," and immediately entered the front rank of Q.C.s.
|'Although his name was one to conjure with in Liverpool he was as yet unknown in London. But a
|a judicial appointment left a gap in the small elite group who were the "leaders" of the Bar, and
|London's solicitors were looking for a new giant. In Russell they found him. By sheer determination
|he forged ahead, overtaking one rival after another, and for the next 20 years the history of the
|common-law Bar was the history of Charles Russell. He was in practically every case of any
|magnitude. From 1872 to 1882 he earned £10,000 a year, for the next decade £16,000 a year
|and in 1893, the year before his translation to the Bench, his fees book showed an income of
|'He was as painstaking in the smallest matters as in the most important. "I am a fool," he often
|told friends, "to knock myself out over a twopenny-halfpenny dispute," but immediately he would
|again be wearing himself out over some trivial brief. From a lad he had taken a keen interest in
|politics, and in Liverpool he had published a pamphlet on the Irish workhouses. It resulted in
|several major reforms, and won him considerable support among the Irish liberals, In 1880 he
|entered the Commons as a Liberal member for the Irish borough of Dundalk, which he had already
|contested twice unsuccessfully [in 1868 and 1874]. He was offered a judgeship, but declined it,
|his ambition being, he told friends, to become the first Catholic Attorney-General since the
|Reformation. This ambition he achieved in 1886 in Gladstone's cabinet, being awarded a knight-
|hood at the same time.
|'In the same year he figured in the famous case of Lord Campbell's suit for a divorce citing the
|Duke of Marlborough as a co-respondent. Russell, for Lady Campbell, cross-petitioned. Both
|petitions were dismissed, but for Russell the case was a personal triumph. In the 1885 elections
|he had transferred to a Liverpool constituency [not correct - he transferred to Hackney South,
|a London constituency.] That election gave Parnell, the Home Rule leader, virtual control of the
|House. Russell had not been an advocate of a separate Irish Parliament, believing that Home Rule
|should come gradually through land reform and a grant of local government - "from the bottom
|rather than the top."
|'He now swung behind Parnell, both in and out of Parliament, and stumped the country vigorously
|campaigning for the cause of Home Rule. The bill was defeated, and the Liberals were routed in
|the ensuing elections; but Russell retained his seat. The next year a commission was appointed
|to enquire into allegations against Parnell and his party [made] by The Times. Russell, who held
|a retainer for the Times, returned it and appeared as leading counsel for Parnell. By brilliant and
|relentless cross-examination he forced an admission from The Times' main witness that an alleged
|letter of Parnell's, on which they had relied, was a forgery. The commission found on some points
|for and on some against the Irish members, but on the main issues Russell scored victories. His
|masterly summing-up speech is of historic interest as a survey of the Irish problem from the view-
|point of an Irish Liberal.
|'In 1889 he was engaged in another cause celebre, the murder trial of Mrs. Maybrick. Assured of
|her innocence, Russell took her conviction to heart and with typical persistence he did not cease
|until her [his - she lived on until 1941] death 10 years later to try to prove that there had been
|a miscarriage of justice.
|'Gladstone meanwhile had marked him out for the Chancellorship, the one office in England, apart
|from the Crown, which was - and still is closed to Catholics. Gladstone tried to have the law
|altered but failed. [This situation continued until 1974, although, given that the Lord Chancellor
|has a number of ecclesiastical functions and, as a Catholic would therefore be conflicted when
|making decisions relating to the Church of England, it remains the law that if a Catholic is
|appointed as Lord Chancellor, his ecclesiastical functions may be temporarily transferred to the
|Prime Minister or another minister.] However, in May, 1894, there was a vacancy as a Lord of
|Appeal and Russell was appointed, being also given a life barony as Lord Russell of Killowen. A
|month later, on the death of Lord Coleridge, he was made Lord Chief Justice.
|'He was one of the notable exceptions to the supposed rule that great advocates seldom make
|good judges. He was at his greatest on the Bench. Painstaking and tolerant, though the old
|Russell impatience sometimes broke out, he bent his powerful intellect in a determined effort to
|unravel the truth. He was no respecter of persons, and junior counsel were given the same
|considerate attention as veteran Q.C.s. He was popular with the Bar, and lawyers vied to have
|their actions tried by him. He made a strong bid to introduce a sadly lacking system of
|co-ordinated legal education.
|'In 1896 he presided over the famous Jameson Raid Trial. A force led by Jameson had raided the
|South African Republic, been captured and handed over to British authorities and charged with
|invading a friendly state in violation of the Foreign Enlistment Act. It was a test of the Chief
|Justice's resolve that justice, however unpopular, must be done, and of his sense of public duty.
|After his summing up the jury returned the only verdict possible on the evidence: Guilty. In the
|same year he was invited to deliver the annual address to the American Bar Association on the
|subject of "International Arbitration." In 1899 he sat as one of the arbitrators in a dispute
|between England and Venezuela.
|'In August, 1900, when on the Northern Circuit, he was suddenly taken ill. What was thought to
|have been a successful operation was performed, but at 3 a.m., on the following morning,
|August 10, he died. His death came as a surprise to the nation, for at the age of 67 he was as
|mentally and physically active as at any time in his career. His life had been one of intense
|action. Outside his public life and his strenuous work on Bench and Bar he had devoted himself
|to the interests of his large family. One major activity in his later years was a campaign to rid
|commercial life of the prevalent corruption, and he was responsible for the eventual introduction
|of legislation making illegal the acceptance of secret commissions.'
|Sir Charles was the first of three successive generations of English legal giants, each of whom
|was raised to the peerage as Lord Russell of Killowen. His son, Francis Xavier Joseph Russell, was
|created Lord Russell of Killowen in 1929 when he was made a Lord of Appeal. In turn, his son
|Charles Ritchie Russell, was also created a peer as Lord Russell of Killowen when he was
|appointed a Lord of Appeal in 1975.
|The deaths of the two sons of Francis Manners, 6th Earl of Rutland
|In "Burke's Peerage," under the entry for Francis Manners, the 6th Earl of Rutland, the reader
|will see that the Earl had two sons, both of whom 'died an infant from alleged witchcraft.' The
|following account is taken from "Anecdotes of the Aristocracy" by J. Bernard Burke (Henry
|Colburn, London, 1849)
|In the church of Bottisford is the sepochal chapel of the Rutland family; and among the stately
|tombs is that of Francis Manners, Earl of Rutland, his Countess, and their two sons, Henry and
|Francis, which attracts more than ordinary attention, from the story attached to it in the
|church books. We give the extract………..
|"When the Rt. Hon. Sir Francis Manners succeeded his brother, Roger, in the Earldom of Rutland
|[in 1612], and took possession of Belvoir [pronounced 'Beaver'] Castle, and of the estates
|belonging to the earldom, he took such honourable measures in the courses of his life, that he
|that he neither discharged servants, nor denied the access of the poor; but making strangers
|welcome, did all the good offices of a noble lord, by which he got the love and good will of the
|country, his noble Countess being of the same noble disposition. So that Belvoir Castle was a
|continual place of entertainment, especially to neighbours, where Joan Flower and her daughter
|were not only relieved at the first, but Joan was also admitted char-woman, and her daughter
|Margaret as a continual dweller in the castle, looking to the poultry abroad, and in the wash-
|-house at home; and thus they continued until found guilty of some misdemeanour, which was
|discovered to the lady. The first complaint against Joan Flower, the mother, was, that she was
|a monstrous malicious woman, full of oaths, curses, and irreligious imprecations, and, as far as
|appeared, a plain atheist; as for Margaret, she was frequently accused of going from the castle
|and carrying provisions away in unreasonable quantities, and returning in such unseasonable
|hours, that they could not but conjecture at some mischief amongst them; and that their extra-
|ordinary expenses tended both to rob their lady, and served also to maintain some debauched
|and idle company which frequented Joan Flower's house. In some time, the Countess misliking
|her (Joan's) daughter, Margaret, and discovering some indecencies in her life, and the neglect
|of her business, discharged her from lying any more in the castle, yet gave her forty shillings, a
|bolster, and a mattress of wool, commanding her to go home. But at last these wretched
|women became so malicious and revengeful, that the Earl's family were sensible of their wicked
|dispositions; for, first, his eldest son Henry, Lord Ross, was taken sick after a strange manner,
|and in a little time died; and after Francis, Lord Ross, was severely tortured and tormented by
|them with a strange sickness, which caused his death. Also, and presently after, the Lady
|Catherine [the two boys' step-sister and later Baroness de Ros in her own right and Duchess of
|Buckingham] was set upon by their devilish practices, and very frequently in danger of her life,
|in strange and unusual fits, and, as they confessed, both the Earl and his Countess were so
|bewitched, that they should have no more children. In a little time after, they were appreh-
|ended and carried into Lincoln gaol, after due examination before sufficient justices and discreet
|magistrates. Joan Flower, before her conviction, called for bread and butter, and wished it
|might never go through her [i.e. that she would choke on it], if she were guilty of the matter
|she was accused of; and, upon mumbling of it in her mouth, she never spake more, but fell
|down, and died as she was carried to Lincoln Gaol, being extremely tormented both in soul and
|body and was buried at Ancaster."
|'The examination of Margaret Flower, the 22nd of January, 1618.
|"She confessed that about four years since, her mother sent her for the right hand glove of
|Henry Lord Ross, and afterwards her mother bid her go again to the castle of Belvoir, and bring
|down the other glove, or some other thing of Henry Lord Ross; and when she asked her for
|what, her mother answered, To hurt my Lord Ross. Upon which she brought down the glove,
|and gave it to her mother, who stroked Rutterkin, her cat (the Imp) with it, after it was dipped
|in hot water, and, so, pricked it often; after which Henry Lord Ross fell sick, and soon after
|died. She further said, that, finding a glove about two or three years since of Francis Lord Ross,
|she gave it to her mother, who put it into hot water, and afterwards took it out, and rubbed it
|on Rutterkin (the Imp), and bid him go upwards, and afterwards buried it the yard, and said 'a
|mischief light on him, but he will mend again.' She further confessed that her mother and
|her[self] and her sister agreed together to bewitch the Earl and his lady, that they might have
|no more children, and being asked the cause of this malice and ill-will, she said, that about four
|years since, the Countess, taking a dislike to her, gave her forty shillings, a bolster, and a
|mattress, and bid her be at home, and come no more to dwell at the castle; which she not only
|took ill, but grudged it in her heart very much, swearing to be revenged upon her; on which her
|mother took wool out of the mattress, and a pair of gloves which were given her by Mr.
|Vovason, and put them into warm water, mingling them with some blood, and stirring it together;
|then she took them out of the water, and rubbed them on the belly of Rutterkin, saying 'the
|lord and lady would have children, but it would be long first.' She further confessed, that by her
|mother's command, she brought to her a piece of a handkerchief of the Lady Catherine, the
|Earl's daughter, and her mother put it into hot water, and then, taking it out, rubbed it upon
|Rutterkin, bidding him 'fly and go;' whereupon Rutterkin whined and cried 'Mew.' upon which the
|said Rutterkin had no more power of the Lady Catherine to hurt her.
|"Margaret Flower, and Phillis [in some sources, Philippa] Flower, the daughters of Jane Flower,
|were executed [by being burnt at the stake] at Lincoln, for witchcraft, March 12, 1618.
|"Whoever reads this history should consider the ignorance and dark superstition of those times;
|but certainly these women were vile, abandoned wretches, to pretend to do such wicked things.
|" 'Seek ye not unto them that have familiar spirits, nor wizards, nor unto witches that peep and
|that mutter; should not a people seek unto their God?' - Isaiah viii 19."

2nd Gen Upgrades: New OS, More Processing Power and Sweet New Effects The best analog modeling synthesizer just got better with second generation upgrades and a new OS. Offering 25% more processing power than its predecessor, the TI2 is packed with new effects like tape delay and frequency shifter, plus six new distortion effects modeled after real vintage distortion pedals.
Virtual Analog: A Huge Palette of Waveforms and Filters The TI2 achieves its rich virtual analog sounds via dual signal processing engines driven by all-digital DSPs. Its architecture is modular in the sense that it can simulate endless combinations of signal paths, modeling a variety of different oscillation and filter types, granting the user the ability to sculpt their waves using three low frequency oscillators, 68 selectable waveforms and two filter envelopes, and up to 192 effects at a time. Because it's virtual analog, polyphony on the TI2 varies depending on which patch you're using and how complicated its waveform, what filters and mods are active, etc. It even offers a two-dimensional modulation matrix which simulates complex wiring schemes which were previously only available with massive analog cabinets.
TI Means Total Integration TI means total integration, and total integration means the TI2 works seamlessly with your current studio recording environment. Just connect the TI2 to your computer via the provided USB cable and it will appear as a virtual instrument within your DAW. Doing so expands the user interface, granting the user new, intuitive ways for sculpting their waves. User settings will be saved when you exit the program so your virtual synth will be just how you left it the next time you load it as a virtual instrument. And if you don't work with a DAW, don't worry -- with 61 semi-weighted keys and all the knobs you need to tweak your sound right on the unit, the TI2 is all you need in a standalone synthesizer.

Lost or Damaged Military Medals Can Be Replaced
Medals awarded while in active service are issued but he individual military service if requested by veterans or their next of kin. Request for replacement medals, decorations, and awards should be directed to the branch in which the veteran served. However, for Air Force (including Army Air Corp) and Army veterans, the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) verifies awards and forwards requests and verification to the services.
Requests for replacement medals should be submitted on Standard for 180, "Request Pertaining to Military Record," which may be obtained at VA offices or the Internet at www.va.gov/vaforms/. Form, addresses and other information on requesting medals can be found on the Military Personnel Records section of NPRC's Website at www.archives.gov/st-louis/military-personnel.
For questions, call Military Personnel Records at (314) 801-0800, or email questions to email@example.com.
If discharge or separation documents are lost, Veterans or the next of kin of deceased veterans may obtain duplicate copies through the eBenefits portal (www.ebenefits.va.gov) or by completing forms found on the Internet at www.archives.gov/research/index.html and mailing or faxing them to the NPRC.
Alternatively, write the National Personnel Records Center, Military Personnel Records, On Archives Drive, St. Louis, MO 63138-1002. Specify that a duplicate separation document is needed. Use Standard Form 180, "Request Pertaining To Military Records." It is not necessary to request a duplicate copy of a veteran's discharge or separation papers just to file a VA benefit claim.
The Secretary of a Military department, acting through a Board for Correction of Military Records, can change any military record to correct an error or remove an injustice. A correction board may consider applications for correction of a military record, including a review of a discharge issued by court-martial.
The veteran, survivor, or legal representative must file a request for correction within three years of discovering an alleged error or injustice. The board may excuse failure to file within this time, however, in the interest of Justice.
Application for a correction is made with DD Form 149
