  • Catholic Martyrs of Gloucestershire by Michael Bergin and Margaret and Patrick Gethen
    Catholic Martyrs of Gloucestershire by Michael Bergin and Margaret and Patrick Gethen St Peter's Church, Gloucester Acknowledgements In November 1987, to commemorate the beatification of five Gloucestershire Catholic martyrs, the Gloucestershire Catholic History Society published a booklet written by Patrick and Margaret Gethen. This recounted what is known of Blessed Richard Sargeant, John Sandys, Stephen Rowsham, William Lampley and Henry Webley. The booklet was republished in 2005. Journal No 53 of the Gloucestershire Catholic History Society, published in October 2010, reproduced the original 1987 booklet with the addition of articles by Michael Bergen on Blessed Thomas Alfield and the Venerable Thomas Webley. Thank you to Debbie Cottam who in 2013 re-typed the original text. 1 Statutes under which the martyrs were charged The Statute of Treasons of 1351 (Edward III Stat.5, Cap.2) The basic treason law of England. Compassing or attempting the death of the King, or his heirs, is high treason according to this law. Act to retain the Queen’s Majesty’s subject in due obedience (23 Eliz. I. Cap.1. 1581) This Act made it high treason to reconcile or be reconciled to the Catholic Church or to induce others to be so reconciled, (persuading to popery). Act against Jesuits, seminary priests and other such like disobedient persons (27 Eliz. I. Cap.2 1585) This act made it high treason for a Catholic priest ordained abroad to come into or remain in the realm after 24th June 1559. It made it felony for anyone to harbour or assist him. The sentence for a priest was that he should be hanged, drawn and quartered, for a layman that he should be hanged.

The petition was initiated and circulated by the National Association of Consumer Advocates (“NACA”), National Consumer Law Center on behalf of its low-income clients (“NCLC”), Americans for Financial Reform , National Consumers League , Consumer Action, Public Citizen, U.S. PIRG, and Consumer Federation of America. Related to this petition, on January 26, 2015, we emailed a letter signed by 83 national, state and community advocacy organizations urging the FCC to keep important consumer and privacy protections for cell phone users. These organizations encourage the FCC to protect consumers and not to permit any changes in the current regulations under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act regarding the definition of autodialer or “called party,” or the liability of callers to reassigned numbers. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Ellen Taverna at NACA, [email protected] (202 452-1989, extension 109) or Margot Saunders at NCLC, [email protected] (202 452 6252, extension 104).
