Gibbon finished writing “The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire” in the garden where the Central Post Office now stands and the popularity of the town with English-speaking people has never diminished.

    Members of Parliament Disqualified since 1900 This document provides information about Members of Parliament who have been disqualified since 1900. It is impossible to provide an entirely exhaustive list, as in many cases, the disqualification of a Member is not directly recorded in the Journal. For example, in the case of Members being appointed 5 to an office of profit under the Crown, it has only recently become practice to record the appointment of a Member to such an office in the Journal. Prior to this, disqualification can only be inferred from the writ moved for the resulting by-election. It is possible that in some circumstances, an election could have occurred before the writ was moved, in which case there would be no record from which to infer the disqualification, however this is likely to have been a rare occurrence. This list is based on 10 the writs issued following disqualification and the reason given, such as appointments to an office of profit under the Crown; appointments to judicial office; election court rulings and expulsion. Appointment of a Member to an office of profit under the Crown in the Chiltern Hundreds or the Manor of Northstead is a device used to allow Members to resign their seats, as it is not possible to simply resign as a Member of Parliament, once elected. This is by far the most common means of 15 disqualification. There are a number of Members disqualified in the early part of the twentieth century for taking up Ministerial Office. Until the passage of the Re-Election of Ministers Act 1919, Members appointed to Ministerial Offices were disqualified and had to seek re-election.

  • Register of Baptisms Sept 1838 to Mar 1848
    This index to the Register of Baptisms for St Nicholas parish in Aberdeen from September 1838 to March 1848 contains details of around 5,000 people. The information contained in this index shows the date of baptism, the name and occupation (where noted) of the father, the name of the mother, and name and sex of the child where it may not be immediately obvious. Further information in the Register includes the names of witnesses. The names have been transcribed as written, so some may not conform to modern spellings. A quirk of binding means that the book begins at page 55, with page 1 coming after page 352. This means there are two different pages numbered between 55 and 268, with different entries. In this index, please note the page number of the index as well as the page number of the entry - if the entry you are interested in is after page number 51, the entry will be in the second part of the volume. If it is before page 51 of this index, it will be in the first part of the volume. If you would like to know the full entry, please make a note of the names of the people concerned, and the page number of the entry then email [email protected] with your query.

  • Investigation of Stormwater Particles Generated from Common Urban Surfaces
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN QUEENSLAND Faculty of Engineering and Surveying Investigation of Stormwater Particles Generated From Common Urban Surfaces A Dissertation Submitted by Ian Malcolm Brodie For the Award of Doctor of Philosophy 2007 Principal Supervisor Dr Mark Porter Associate Supervisor Dr David Thorpe ABSTRACT Pollution due to urban stormwater runoff is a significant environmental issue. Large regional devices including sediment ponds and constructed wetlands are common features in the urban landscape to treat runoff. In keeping with this approach, data requirements to evaluate stormwater impacts have mainly been met by the monitoring of sizeable urban catchments, typically greater than 10ha in area. Urban runoff characteristics have thus been conventionally linked with broadly defined catchment attributes. Land use, as defined by zonings such as Residential, Commercial and Industrial, is an attribute often used to evaluate stormwater runoff from urban catchments. The emergence of Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) in Australia is changing the management focus from the reliance on a small number of large-scale devices to many smaller-scale source controls distributed throughout the catchment. This paradigm shift in stormwater management places greater emphasis on small-scale processes within urban areas. Subsequently there is a need for more knowledge about stormwater generated from specific urban surfaces (roads, roofs, grassed areas etc). The objective of this study was to demonstrate how urban stormwater quality can be managed on the basis of urban surfaces. The study involved the collection of data for typical urban surfaces and the development of predictive models to estimate stormwater quality. A series of case studies is provided to illustrate the use of surface-related data and modelling tools in stormwater management, particularly in the context of WSUD.
