A Silver Tankard with a Waterloo Connexion for a Client in New Jersey, U.S.A
A silver tankard with a Waterloo connexion for a client in New Jersey, U.S.A. Hallmarked for London, 1721, the tankard was acquired at auction with a speculative attribution to ‘the family of the Duke of Wellington’. The principal identifying feature is an engraved crest on the body, well worn, but still with sufficient detail to facilitate identification. The most obvious characteristics are five lions on a cross, between four displayed eagles. The shield of Arms is surmounted by a coronet and a crest (now virtually indecipherable), and the supporters, drawn almost dog-like, are each gorged with a coronet. ¶ The Arms, like most simple coats, are easily identified; they belong to the Paget family ‘of Staffordshire’. In the form depicted on the tankard, they were granted to William Paget (c. 1506–63), son of William Paget ‘of Wednesbury, Staffordshire, of humble beginnings’. The younger Paget was educated in Trinity Hall, Cambridge, and the University of Paris, rising in due course to a series of government posts. Described as ‘of Bromley, County Stafford’, he was knighted in January 1544, installed as a knight of the Order of the Garter on 17th February 1547, and became ‘Baron Paget of Beaudesert in the County of Staffordshire’ on 3rd December 1549. ¶ William Paget married Anne Preston c. 1530 and had ten children.[1] His later career was mired in controversy, and he was ‘degraded’ from the Order of the Garter in September 1552 only to be re-admitted a year later (replacing the attainted Earl of Essex). ¶ The Paget Arms and title descended to his eldest son Henry, and then on his death intestate to the next son Thomas (c. -
The Applicability of the Salisbury Doctrine to Canada's Bi-Cameral
Feature The Applicability of the Salisbury Doctrine to Canada’s Bi-Cameral Parliament The presence of a large number of non-partisan Senators, the work of the Special Senate Committee on Senate Modernization, and the growth of a more activist Senate has focused much attention on the Salisbury Doctrine. This convention of the United Kingdom’s Parliament holds that the appointed House of Lords should not reject a government bill passed by the elected House of Commons if the content of the bill was part of the government’s electoral campaign platform. In this article, the author outlines the Salisbury Doctrine, examines political consideration which may 2017 CanLIIDocs 267 have influenced its development and use, and reviews whether it may be applicable in Canada’s bi- cameral Parliament. He contends Canada’s Senate should not be beholden to the Salisbury Doctrine. The author concludes that while the Senate should show deference to the elected Commons when necessary, it should not accept any agreement, legal or political, that hampers its ability to outright reject any bill it deems outside the apparent and discernable popular will. However, he suggests the Senate should exercise this power with restraint. Christopher Reed he recently more activist Senate has given rise in the Lords. The then Viscount Cranborne (later to the consideration of the applicability of the the Fifth Marquess of Salisbury), the Conservative TSalisbury Doctrine, a convention of the United Leader of the Opposition in the Lords along with his Kingdom’s Parliament, to Canada’s bi-cameral counterpart the Viscount Addison, the Labour Leader Parliament. -

MATTHEW HUGHES Fighting for White Rule in Africa: The Central African Federation, Katanga, and the Congo Crisis, - of Zimbabwe in , black guerrilla forces fought a long war throughout the s against the white- Bcontrolled government of Rhodesia. Twenty years earlier, in the late s and early s, long before the start of the insurgency that led to the end of white rule, the white settlers of Rhodesia, then part of the Central African Federation, had fought against black rule in the Belgian Congo. The focus of this fight was the Congo’s province of Katanga, which bordered on the Federation to the north. The struggle in the Congo forms part of the story of white Rhodesian resistance to black majority rule that lasted until (and until in South Africa). Even before Belgium decided to pull out of the Congo in , the Federation’s whites were looking to effect a political union with the Belgian settlers in Katanga; and once Belgium withdrew in the summer of , the Federation did all it could to help to preserve white control over the Congo. This article examines the two related issues of the proposed political union between the Federation and Katanga before , and the Federation’s support for white settler interests in Katanga and the Congo from to , when this phase of the Congo crisis ended. It shows that determined white resist- ance began earlier and cast its net more widely than once thought, thus adding to our understanding of the decay of white rule in central and southern Africa after the Second World War. -
