The trial of Lieutenants Birch, Bishop, Aitkins, Ramsden, Nicholl, Richardson, and Bath, of the West Kent Regiment of Militia, on a charge preferred against them by Lieutenant-Colonel Dalton of the same regiment. For conducting themselves in a manner prejudicial to good order and military discipline.....[that they].... "systematically and contumaciously absented themselves from the Society of the Field Officers and Captains." They refused to speak to the higher ranks or to mess with them. They were all found guilty and dismissed from His Majesty's Service, although the Court Martial expressed some sympathy towards the younger officers.

First edition, 8vo (205 x 135 mm), 48pp., some light spotting, orig. green upper printed wrapper, lower wrapper missing, disbound. "Mayberry, knowing Alger was returning with a sum of money, met him on the road in Harmony, Wisconsin, and killed him with a hatchet while riding with him. Wisconsin had abolished the death penalty, and a mob seized Mayberry after his conviction and hanged him in the streets."?McDale. McDale, The Annals of Murder.
1693réf. D12884Printed by Edward Jones. and Published by him and Randal Taylor 1693. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. Modern half calf and marbled paper gilt-stamped lettering on spine; 300x187mm; pp. 4 64. Binding is fine. Text block browned as expected; tiny chips at corners of first two leaves. In December 1692 the young but already dissolute Cornish peer Charles 4th Lord Mohun was involved in a fracas arising from a botched attempt to kidnap the popular actress Anne Bracegirdle. Mohun was acting as accomplice to a young army officer Captain Hill who had taken a fancy to Bracegirdle and decided not to take no for an answer. Their plan to bundle her into a coach was thwarted by the intervention of several of Bracegirdles neighbours but principally by her fellow actor William Mountford. In the ensuing scuffle Mountford was stabbed; he died shortly after. His trial was one of the society events of the year as Mohun had already been part of numerous duels and brawls and tho he was not yet a member of the House his father had been a good Whig and the young Lords future vote was not something that either party were keen to squander. His acquittal proved as sensational as the trial itself had been. One newsletter commented bitterly that a commoner would not have been so fortunate; others debated the intricacies of an attempted appeal that it was thought Mountfords widow intended to lodge but which was expected to be stifled by the Lords. Perhaps most intriguing of all was the conclusion drawn by Queen Mary herself that the verdict was symptomatic of a rot at the very heart of society. Mohun did not learn his lesson. He continued to brawl and only a few years later he was again arrested for another murder of an apparently unrelated Captain Hill. On this occasion he was spared a trial though and took advantage of a royal pardon. Over the next few years he repaid his Whig colleagues trust in him by proving a dependable lieutenant in the House. He may well have been fulfilling precisely the same role when he took the field against the Tory Duke of Hamilton with fatal consequences for both.

1925réf. List38112New York City: United Press International 1925. Photograph measuring 8 x 9 ¾ inches. With caption recto; manuscript caption and UPI and "Not For Publication" stamps verso. Excellent. A photograph of John Scopes Clarence Darrow and others during Tennessee's famous "Monkey Trial" in which Scopes was charged with violating the Butler Act which outlawed teaching human evolution in public schools. The case arose when the ACLU put out an advertisement for a teacher willing to violate the Act; community leaders from Dayton Tennessee saw an opportunity both to test the law and to draw attention to their community. New teacher John Scopes agreed to claim to have taught evolution likely falsely as he had not yet taught biology at all. He was represented by Clarence Darrow who was set against the prosecution's William Jennings Bryan-two of the most prominent legal minds of their day. Scopes was found guilty-though the verdict was overturned on a technicality-and the Butler Act stayed Tennessee law until 1967. United Press International unknown
