B r o a d w o o d , Editor V EDITORIAL We are again happy to begin our Editorial by recording the honours conferred during the year on Forestry Commission men. The New Year Honours List announced the award of the C.B.E. to Mr. W. H. Guillebaud, Deputy Director General, and also the award of the British Empire Medal to Mr. W. G. Gray, Head Forester at the Research Nursery at Kennington. In the King’s Birthday Honours List in June, the C.B.E. was conferred on Mr. O. J. Sangar, Director of Forestry for England. Mr. Sangar, who gives an account in this Journal of the activities of the European Commission for Forestry and Forest Products, has had the honour of being elected Chairman of that body for the second year in succession, and will officiate in the same capacity at the Fourth Session in 1952. The Commissioners We welcome Mr. Stanley C. Longhurst, who was appointed a Forestry Commissioner in September, 1951. Mr. Longhurst brings to the Commission a special knowledge and experience of the timber trade which will be particularly valuable now that the State forests are contributing more and more to the annual out-turn of home grown timber. The Commissioners holding office at the end of the year were:— Lord Robinson, O.B.E. (Chairman) The Earl of Radnor, K.C.V.O. (Deputy Chairman) Mr. J. M. Bannerman, O.B.E. Major Sir Richard Cotterell, Bt. Mr. J. E. Hamilton, M.C. Mr. Stanley C. Longhurst, J.P. Mr. Lloyd O. Owen, J.P. Major John Stirling of Fairburn, M.B.E. Mr. W. H. Vaughan, O.B.E., J.P. Professor J. Walton, F.R.S.E. The Forestry Act, 1951 “An Act to provide for the maintenance of reserves of growing trees in Great Britain and to regulate the felling of trees; to amend the procedure appli­ cable to compulsory purchase orders under the Forestry Act, 1945; and for purposes connected with the matters aforesaid”. The above is the heading of the new Act passed in August, 1951, the main provisions of which came into force on 1st October, 1951. Among the important measures contained in this Act may be mentioned: the duty of the Commissioners to promote the establishment and maintenance in Great Britain of adequate reserves of growing trees: the power of the Commissioners (who from 3rd January, 1950 were the felling licence authority under the Control of Growing Trees (Felling and Selling) Order 1950 but who now derive that authority vi under the new Act) to attach conditions to felling licences, Dedicated woods excepted, to secure the restocking of the area felled, and also to issue felling directions. The Act enables the more modern procedure of the Statutory Orders (Special Procedure) Act, 1945, to be applied to compulsory acquisitions under the Forestry Act, 1945, resulting in a more expeditious and less expensive procedure for all concerned. The Home Grown Timber Advisory Committee and the Regional Advisory Committees, which were previously in being with the same functions, now become statutory bodies with a proportion of the members appointed after consultation with organisations representing the owners of woodlands, and timber merchants, and, in the case of the Regional Committees, with organi­ sations concerned with the study and promotion of forestry. Obituary: Mr. A. L. Felton, O.B.E., M.C. We regret to record the death in July, 1951 of Mr. Felton, formerly Conservator, South East England. Mr. Felton’s death is a great loss to his many friends and those who worked with him regret the passing of a cheerful and unfailingly kind colleague.

  • Inveraray Jail - Prisoner Records
    INVERARAY JAIL - PRISONER RECORDS http://www.inverarayjail.co.uk/ USE THE EDIT / FIND ON TOOLBAR TO SEARCH NAMES and ENTRIES BY TOWN and VILLAGE By tradition and history 'the county town Argyll, Inveraray's courthouse and prisons, designed by James Gillespie Graham in 1813, after original plans by Robert Reid in 1807, opened in 1820 - Whilst Reid's original plans hadd included a courthouse and three prisons - one for males, one for females and one for debtors - The Prison Commissioners, lacking finances, had to be content with building only the courthouse and but one prison, eight cellss contained in its two floors - Following the 1839 Prisons (Scotland) Act, a second prison, separating men and women and designed by Thomas Brown of Edinburgh, was opened at the end of 1848, the new three-storied prison having twelve cells, an exercise gallery and a pair of outdoor exercise yards, the idea of separating male and female prisoners stemming from the somewhat misguided persuasion that such a system gave prisoners time to reflect upon their sins ! After the passing of the 1877 Prisons (Scotland) Act, the responsibility for the running and financing prisons taken away from local authorities, small local prisons were successively closed in favour of large prisons, such as Glasgow's 1882-built Barlinnie Prison and though Inveraray's jail, the last of the small prisons, was closed on August 31, 1889, courts continued to sit in Inveraray's courthouse until around 1954.4. After an extensive programme of restoration was undertaken by The Scottish Office in the 1980's, the building then lying empty for some years, Inveraray Jail was opened to the public as a 'visitor attraction' in May 1989 and the records of more than 4,000 of its Victorian prisoners put online for the interest of family history researchers.
