J ONATHAN TRUMBULL Norwich LIBRARIAN P UBLIC LIBRARY (V - Dr.. Ik WILLIAM K NEELAND TOWNSEND TOWNSEND, J UDGE WILLIAM KNEELAND, of the United States Circuit Court, comes of a family that long has held a prominent place in the university town of New Haven, where he was born June 12th, 1848. Hes i the son of James Mulford and Maria Theresa Townsend. He was fond of his books and of the companionship of good friends as well, and youthful characteristics have remained constant. Gradu ated from Yale in 1871, in a class that gave not a few eminent men to the professions, he continued his studies in the Yale Law School, along the line which nature seemed to have marked out for him. In 1874 he received the degree of LL.B. and immediately was admitted to the bar in New Haven County, and entered upon the practice of his pro fession. For a time he was associated with Simeon E. Baldwin of New Haven, now justice in the Supreme Court of Errors, with whom he had studied law during his course. He quickly gained recognition as a practitioner and, as part of his work, was employed by the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company as attorney in im portant litigation. In 1878 he received the degree of Master of Laws from the Yale Law School and two years later that of Doctor of Civil Laws. His i nterest in public affairs and his civic spirit were manifested in 1880, when he was chosen a member of the New Haven Court of Common Council, and in 1881 and 1882 he was alderman from his ward. He has served his city also as corporation counsel. His con nection with Yale University as an instructor dates from 1881, when he was appointed to the chair of Pleading, in the Law school. Sub sequently he was selected for the Edward J. Phelps chair on Contracts. The appointments were of material importance to the school for, aside from his personal popularity with both students and professors, his lucidity and force did much to increase the reputation the school had gained. It w as March 28th, 1892, that he was chosen for the responsible 10 W I LLIAM KNEELAND TOWNSEND. positionf o judge of the United States District Court, for the district of Connecticut. The estimate placed upon the discharge of his duties in that capacity was evidenced when, in 1902, he was promoted to be judge in the United States Circuit Court, Second District. Some of his decisions have had far.reaching effect and have contributed in no small measure to the country's law literature. In a ddition the judge has found opportunity to do considerable outside writing. A widely known work of his is " The Connecticut Civil Officer," and he is the author of the articles on " Patents," " Trademarks," " Copyrights," and " Admiralty," in " Two Centuries Growth of American Law." Also he has contributed frequently to the magazines. In p olitics Judge Townsend is a Republican, and in religion a Congregationalist. He is intensely fond of outdoor life and recrea tion, and is an enthusiastic member of the Boone and Crocket Club of New York and of the Country Club of New Haven. He also be longs to the Society of Skull and Bones at Yale, the Graduates Club of New Haven, and the Yale Club, the Century Club, and the Uni versity Club of New York. Judge T ownsend married Miss Mary Leavenworth Trowbridge of New Haven on July 1st, 1874. They have had three children, one of whom is now living, George Henry Towneend, 2d, a student in Yale College. Their home is at No. 148 Grove Street, New Haven. JAMES P ERRY PLATT PLATT, J AMES PERRY, of Meriden, United States District Judge for the district of Connecticut since March 23d, 1902, comes of a long line of sturdy, able ancestors. Few family names in Connecticut have won as much respect and reverence. Richard P latt of England arrived in New Haven Colony in 1638 and, foremost in organizing a church society, settled in Milford. His son, Isaac Platt, was a captain of militia and held nearly all the offices of prominence in the town. One of his descendents removed to Washington, Connecticut, where the Platt homestead has been main tained ever since. In the Revolutionary War a father and son did their part in behalf of the struggling colonies. In times of peace the members of the family were hardy, industrious farmers. Judge P latt is the son of the late Hon. Orville Hitchcock Platt, United States Senator, who was born in Washington. The father lo cated as a lawyer in Meriden. His wonderful talents were soon recognized and he was elected successively Secretary of the State, State Senator, member of the House of Representatives, of which he was speaker in 1869, and United States Senator in 1879. This high office he held until his death in 1905. With what efficiency he served his state and the nation, in what esteem he was held in council at home or at the federal capital is a part of Connecticut's proudest history. Senator P latt' s first wife was Annie Bull, of the Perry family of Towando, Bradford County, Pa. She was an earnest worker in the Congregational Church in Meriden and was possessed of those graces which endeared her to her friends and commanded the love and tender respect of her household. The J udge was born in Towando on March 31, 1851. After a course at the celebrated " Gunnery " School at Washington, Connecti cut — the old family home — he attended the Hopkins Grammar School in New Haven, where he completed his preparation for college. Entering Yale immediately, he displayed an aptness for learning and had a special predilection for boating, football, baseball, and other 11 12 J AMES PERKY PLATT. manly s ports. In later life he has found pleasure and relaxation in tennis. On graduating from college in the class of 1873, he went to the Yale Law School, following his father's wishes and his own in clination, and received his degree as bachelor of laws in 1875. Immediately h e joined with his father in the practice of his pro fession in Meriden, the firm title being 0. H. & J. P. Pllatt. Three years later he was chosen representative from his town to the General Assembly. After serving in 1878 and 1879 he was appointed City Attorney of Meriden, the duties of which office he discharged with marked ability from 1879 to 1893, when he was chosen by the General Assembly to be Judge of the City and Police Court of that city. It was while serving in this capacity, in the year 1902, that he was ap pointed United States District Judge. From the beginning of his term, he has won the highest commendation of his associates and of the members of the bar. In p olitics Judge Pllatt is a Republican. In religion he is affil iated with the Protestant Episcopal Church. He is a member of Meridian Lodge, No. 77, F. & A. M., and of St. Elmo Commandery, of Meriden, and at one time was Master of the Blue Lodge, F. & A. M. He is also a member of the Home Club of Meriden, the Yale Club of New York, and is a trustee of the Meriden Savings Bank. He m arried Miss Harriet White Ives of Meriden on December 2, 1885. They have had two children, one of whom, Margery Platt, born December 30, 1886, is living ; the other, a boy named after him self, died in infancy. The judge's home is at No. 130 Lincoln Street, Meriden. ALBERTO T . RORABACK RORABACK, A LBEKTO T., of North Canaan, associate judge of the Supreme Court, was born in Sheffield, Mas sachusetts, August 23d, 1849. His father, John C, was a farmer, industrious and sturdy of character. He migrated from Columbia County, New York, to Suffield, Massachusetts, in 1846. The name of Boraback, as it suggests, is of German origin. Early in 1700, three brothers from the town of Rohrbach in Alsace, Lor raine, settled in what is now known as Columbia County in the State of New York. During this century the name was spelled Rorabacher, and about 1800, apparently for the sake of brevity and convenience, it was changed to Boraback. After obtaining such education as the public schools of his native town could furnish, the boy went to the South Berkshire Institute in New Marlboro, Massachusetts, and thence to the Genesee Seminary in New York State. Endowed with remarkable perspicacity and clearness in reasoning, he had a natural bent toward the bar.

    KOPEL (1117–1192).DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 5/2/16 4:20 PM Lyman Trumbull: Author of the Thirteenth Amendment, Author of the Civil Rights Act, and the First Second Amendment Lawyer David B. Kopel* This Article provides the first legal biography of lawyer and Senator Lyman Trumbull, one of the most important lawyers and politicians of the nineteenth century. Early in his career, as the leading anti-slavery lawyer in Illinois in the 1830s, he won the cases constricting and then abolishing slavery in that state; six decades later, Trumbull represented imprisoned labor leader Eugene Debs in the Supreme Court, and wrote the Populist Party platform. In between, Trumbull helped found the Republican Party, and served three U.S. Senate terms, chairing the judiciary committee. One of the greatest leaders of America’s “Second Founding,” Trumbull wrote the Thirteenth Amendment, the Civil Rights Act, and the Freedmen’s Bureau Act. The latter two were expressly intended to protect the Second Amendment rights of former slaves. Another Trumbull law, the Second Confiscation Act, was the first federal statute to providing for arming freedmen. After leaving the Senate, Trumbull continued his fight for arms rights for workingmen, bringing Presser v. Illinois to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1886, and Dunne v. Illinois to the Illinois Supreme Court in 1879. His 1894 Populist Party platform was a fiery affirmation of Second Amendment principles. In the decades following the end of President James Madison’s Administration in 1817, no American lawyer or legislator did as much as Trumbull in defense of Second Amendment.

BY HIS OBLIGED FRIEND AND DEVOTED SERVANT, ANN OF SWANSEA. College-street, Swansea, July 10, 1820. PREFACE. KING Solomon, the very wisest of all wise sages, past, present, and to come, declared, in his day, there was nothing new under the sun: how then can the weak brain of a modern author (ye sons and daughters of fire-eyed Genius, be not, I beseech you, offended; I only mean weak, when compared with the brain of king Solomon) pretend to lead the fastidious critic through paths untrodden before, or present to his lynx-like sight sentiments and incidents unheard of either in prose or verse? The difficulty of twisting, twining, and winding together, three or four volumes, of sufficient interest to attract public attention, is labour that requires an ingenuity few have genius enough to accomplish, and affords a weighty reason why prefaces are growing out of fashion; for an author finds his inventive faculties spun as thin as a cobweb in supplying the requisite number of pages for his story, without wasting his metaphors, sublimity, and brilliance, on a preface.

  • Rural Settlement List 2014
    National Non Domestic Rates RURAL SETTLEMENT LIST 2014 1 1. Background Legislation With effect from 1st April 1998, the Local Government Finance and Rating Act 1997 introduced a scheme of mandatory rate relief for certain kinds of hereditament situated in ‘rural settlements’. A ‘rural settlement’ is defined as a settlement that has a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable year in question. The Non-Domestic Rating (Rural Settlements) (England) (Amendment) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/3176) prescribes the following hereditaments as being eligible with effect from 1st April 2010:- Sole food shop within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole general store within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole post office within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole public house within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Sole petrol filling station within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Section 47 of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 provides that a billing authority may grant discretionary relief for hereditaments to which mandatory relief applies, and additionally to any hereditament within a rural settlement which is used for purposes which are of benefit to the local community. Sections 42A and 42B of Schedule 1 of the Local Government and Rating Act 1997 dictate that each Billing Authority must prepare and maintain a Rural Settlement List, which is to identify any settlements which:- a) Are wholly or partly within the authority’s area; b) Appear to have a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable financial year in question; and c) Are, in that financial year, wholly or partly, within an area designated for the purpose.

  • Tertullian's Text of the New Testament Outside the Gospels
    TERTULLIAN’S TEXT OF THE NEW TESTAMENT OUTSIDE THE GOSPELS by BENJAMIN DOUGLAS HAUPT A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Philosophy, Theology, and Religion College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham January 2019 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This study examines Tertullian’s references to the New Testament outside the Gospels, in order to determine whether he was citing from a Greek or Latin copy of these writings. A new collection of these references was undertaken and is explained in the Appendix. The conclusion of the analysis is that Tertullian was quoting the New Testament writings using Greek exemplars and translating anew in most instances. Tertullian was one of the first Christians to have undertaken such translation work. It is proposed that Tertullian was participating in and influenced by a broad cultural-linguistic movement called the Second Sophistic. Latin writers like Cicero, Quintilian, Varro, and Apuleius were also participants, and their translation of Greek works into Latin likely formed Tertullian to become a literary translator.
