Coronation of George III and Charlotte

The coronation of George III and his wife Charlotte as king and queen of Great Britain and Ireland took place at Westminster Abbey, London, on Tuesday, 22 September 1761, about two weeks after they were married in the Chapel Royal, St James's Palace. Following a long procession from St James's Palace to Westminster Hall and finally to the Abbey, they were crowned. Background On the death of his grandfather, George II, George ascended to the throne on 25 October 1760 at the age of 22. The young king was yet to be married, and so he inquired Lord Bute on suitable Protestant German princesses to be his wife and consort. In July 1761, it was decided that the King would marry the 17-year-old Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, whom lacked interest in political affairs much to George's favour. After she arrived at St James's Palace accompanied by her brother, Duke Adolphus Frederick, on 8 September 1761 to meet the King, George and Charlotte were married at the Chapel Royal, St James's Palace the same day. They were married just in time for the coronation ceremony two weeks later. The coronation was budgeted at around £70,000, with preparations conducted as per tradition by the Earl Marshal, at the time being Charles Howard, 11th Duke of Norfolk. Procession The coronation proved to be an anticipated affair, for the morning of the ceremony was marked with crowded streets as well as overflown inns, rooms, and homes waiting for the appearance of the new king and queen. Reportedly a great many carriages hastily arrived at Westminster Abbey on the day of the coronation, many of them colliding in ensuing chaos. At around 9:00 a.m., George and Charlotte departed from St James's Palace and were carried separately to Westminster Hall in sedan chairs, whilst invited nobility, government officials, as well as members of the royal household formed a large procession to take their places in the abbey, lasting several hours. The King and Queen soon arrived and entered the Abbey on foot after 1:30 p.m., with the dignity of the royal couple and the “reverent attention which both paid to the service” being favourably commented on. The procession and ceremony were so long the King was not crowned until 3:30 that afternoon. Service The coronation ceremony was conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Secker, in which he guided King George in taking the coronation oath, and he was crowned king of Great Britain and Ireland, followed by cheering by the congregation. The King was then anointed with holy oil. The King felt it not appropriate to take communion wearing his crown, and so he laid it aside (as he was ill guided on this point), to which reportedly a jewel would fall from his crown, a perceived bad omen, though this account is disputed. After the conclusion of the King's crowning ceremony, Queen Charlotte was crowned in a shorter and simpler ceremony. The Queen's crown was specifically made for her, a precedent that would follow from consorts Queen Adelaide in her 1831 coronation to Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother in her 1937 coronation. Her crown's jewels were said to be gifts from her family, however it itself did not survive to contemporary times; their son, George IV, would have them incorporated in the insignia of the Order of St. Patrick. Nearing the end of the ceremony, the Archbishop delivered his sermon, in which the congregation began to eat snacks, which were mainly cold meat and pies, and drink wine brought with them and given out by servants. The ceremony ended with a coronation banquet, the Lord Steward, the Lord High Constable and the Deputy Earl Marshall presiding. Spectators reportedly let down baskets and handkerchiefs to the eaters at the banquet tables below, who would send up chicken and wine. Royal guests The Dowager Princess of Wales, the King's mother Princess Augusta of Wales, the King's sister The Duke of York, the King's brother Prince William of Wales, the King's brother Prince Henry of Wales, the King's brother The Princess Amelia, the King's paternal aunt The Duke of Cumberland, the King's paternal uncle The Landgravine of Hesse-Kassel, the King's paternal aunt References Coronations of British monarchs History of the City of Westminster George III of the United Kingdom

John Taylor (settler)

John Taylor (1821-1890), son of an Oxford carpenter, was a settler to York, Western Australia who arrived in 1841, was indentured to Thomas Brown, leased and then purchased Yangedine, used progressive machinery, and built a farming estate. Emigration with the Browns Taylor was the son of a carpenter in Oxfordshire. He grew up poor, "earning half a crown a week by cutting turnips for sheep, and how, in the winter, his feet were so covered with chilblains that he could scarcely pull on his boots in the morning, or do anything but 'hobble and cry' for the first quarter of a mile after starting to go to work". Eliza and Thomas Brown took Taylor to Western Australia as an indentured servant. Before leaving, he visited his old master, "who gave him sixpence as a parting present, accompanied by the time honoured advice 'to keep it always in his pocket, so that he might never want money. He celebrated his 19th birthday on board ship and arrived in the Colony on 15 March 1841 with a horse and cow and 1/6d. He was indentured until 1844. Taylor worked for the Browns on their property Grass Dale, though he is never mentioned in any of Eliza Brown's letters. He was engaged at the rate of £2 per month. Taylor then shepherded for the Carter brothers for £40 per annum, and then went to work for Robert Draper. He married Robert Draper's daughter, Ann Draper on 17 November 1846 and in 1847 he rented Yangedine from J W Hardey, and George Shenton Sr started him off with 500 sheep on thirds. "When he when he sowed his first bit of land his wife did the bird-scaring with a decrepit gun, of which the cock was missing, so that she had to hit the cap with a hammer each time she fired." He started his house as a "rammed wall place". He was one of those who signed the original petition asking that convicts should be sent to Western Australia. In mid 1850, a "poor" Irish immigrant was denied rations normally allowed to immigrants because he refused offers of employment by Taylor: At the meeting of the York Agricultural Society in July 1851, Taylor responded to a toast to the yeoman of Western Australia. “He said that he was proud to call himself one of that class; he came to Western Australia with no other capital than his hands, but by sticking to work, he had succeeded in getting a little stock around him. Let those abuse Western Australia that would; it was a place for a poor man, and there was no reason why every other labouring man might not be in a similar position to himself.” Loss of his son On 15 July 1854, Taylor's son, George, died from burns, as reported in the Perth Gazette: Trip to England In 1855, Taylor purchased the York town lot on which Settlers House was later to be built. He paid £10 for a Crown Grant on 25 July 1855. In August 1855, he was one of five appointed at a public meeting in York to represent the inhabitants of the York district at a public meeting to be held in Perth, the others all being substantial land owners. The coming of convicts brought prosperity to servants who were flock owners, as Janet Millett says: In October 1855, Taylor announced he was selling his "magnificent, thorough-bred" horse Flos Collium because he was about to leave the Colony for England. Taylor was "amongst the individuals who profited most by the colony becoming a penal settlement, and, on finding himself a rich man, he visited England for the purpose of assisting his relations at home". He then returned to Western Australia on 19 February 1857 on board the Lady Amherst, bringing with him several of his brothers and sisters. Taylor became active in York affairs including the York Agricultural Society. He introduced a new breed of cart horse. In December 1857, a hut and a part of wheat field, worth £200 to £300, was destroyed by a bush fire. In 1859, A ticket of leave man called John Cooper passed a cheque in his name for £15 and was prosecuted and Taylor gave evidence. In 1860, he sold the Settlers House property to Henry Stevens for £40. At the time it was a vacant site. He purchased Yangedine for £2,000, with a £1,000 cash deposit and discharged the balance within 14 years. He was wheat growing, wool growing and pig keeping. He urged tobacco farming, but by gardeners not farmers. He gave an interview in 1889 at which he spoke of this time: He "once drove his team for many miles upon a day that the sun-heat stood at 145° Fahrenheit. 'I started,' he said, 'in the morning with four bay horses, but as the day went on, they became so covered with foam that I seemed to be driving white ones. He was soon operating on a large scale, employing 15 reapers for his 1866 harvest, and nine years later advertised for a team to shear his flock of 15,000 sheep. He later purchased another property Walwalling and a third. He and Ann had 10 children. Later years From 8 January 1866, he was advertising his "very extensive steam flour mill" at 9d a bushel. He also advertised "several very good sheep runs, containing 70,000 acres" for sale or let. He also advertised for a miller and engineer for the flour mill, and 14 or 15 good reapers, offering high wages. He also purchased a harvester "which reaps and threshes at the same time", something that was "beyond the reach of the small farmer". His method of fencing was novel. "In December 1866 he called for tenders for ten miles of fencing on his estate, and specified that it was to be built from 'Jam trees cut down and laid at rights angles to the boundaries of the land: to be filled up sufficiently close to keep in sheep." In 1868, Taylor led the movement to bring a railway line to York. Taylor's operation was described as "large and progressive". In 1876, he visited the Eastern Colonies and returned with "...a number of very fine sheep of the long-woolled Lincoln breed". "Three years later, anticipating lot feeding by over a century, this innovative producer was experimenting with yarding a few head of cattle and feeding them hay" "to fatten them for the butcher". Taylor's wife Ann died on 19 January 1884 and Taylor married a school-teacher, Rebecca Pyke, daughter of Joseph Pyke. On 20 January 1889, a fire broke out in one of the paddocks at Yangedine destroying a quantity of bush feed and some fencing. Several settlers in the locality rode to the fire and were successful in managing the flames. After spending a total of £10,000 in improvements, he sold Yangedine to the Darlot brothers, and went to reside in a home in York called The Retreat. Death and dispute over a codicil In 1890, Taylor stepped onto a brass peg which went through his foot. His foot became infected and he became seriously ill. As he was fading, he made a new will leaving specific assets to family members including his widow Rebecca. His widow was to receive their family home in York, The Retreat and two life policies, one for £500 and one for £1,000. After the will was made, he realised that he the insurance policy of £1000 was actually his wife's insurance policy, she had the home but no money and this needed fixing. He needed to do a codicil and make some additional bequests. So he asked the Rev. George to arrange for a codicil to leave the residue of his estate to his wife. On the day of signing, Taylor had lost so much strength that he could not sign the codicil. He held the pen in his hand but could not write. He tried again but could not sign. So one of the witnesses, Mr Iles, guided his hand as he made his signature and then signed as a witness. Then he asked for some whiskey which was given to him, after which he fell asleep. His condition became worse and he died 18 days later. The executors failed to register the codicil, registering only the original will. So his widow had to commence proceedings to enforce the codicil. The case was held before a judge and a jury of six. Numerous witnesses gave evidence as to whether or not he understood what the codicil was all about. After this exhausting trial, the jury could not reach a decision. The costs of the trial exceeded £800, one of the most expensive court actions to that time in Western Australia. To avoid another trial, the disputing sides of the family worked out a deal and settled the matter, with four fifths of the residuary estate going to the widow and the balance going to his children. During the trial, Stephen Henry Parker QC said of Taylor: Notes References 1821 births 1890 deaths Settlers of Western Australia People from York, Western Australia

William Campbell Maclean (29 November 1811 – 20 November 1898) was a Surgeon General in the Indian Medical Service. He founded the Hyderabad Medical School which later became the Osmania Medical College. He served as a professor of Military Medicine at the Army Medical School in Netley from 1860-1886. William was born in Blackburn House, Ayr, the tenth of eleven children of his father John was Laird of Boreray and came from the Macleans of Ardgour and on his mother Jesse's side from the MacLeods of Dunvegan. He grew up with home tutors before going to the Dollar and Edinburgh Academies. He joined the University of Edinburgh in 1829 and received the medical license in 1832 and MD in 1833. He worked on ships to Bombay and Java as a physician and spent some time studying in Paris. After joining the Madras Medical Service in 1838 he was attached to the 55th Regiment at Secunderabad. In 1840 he served in Chusan during the opium wars. In 1842 he served with the 18th Royal Irish and then with the 1st Madras Fusiliers at Arcot. He then served in Jabalpur and then moved to Calcutta where his brother worked with Lord Ellenborough. He was offered a civil position through the influence of Lord Ellenborough, but he refused to leave medicine which was his primary interest. In 1845 he became a Resident Surgeon at the Hyderabad Court and was involved in organizing a medical school. The fourth Nizam of Hyderabad Nawab Nasir-ud-Daulah was treated for diabetes by Maclean through diet changes after local practitioners failed to help. This led the Nizam to look upon the system of western medicine more highly and ordered the establishment of a medical school under Maclean. The first seven successful students produced in the school were made taluk physicians. George Smith took over the medical college in December 1854. Maclean moved to Netley in 1860 he moved to the newly founded Army medical school at Netley on the invitation of Sidney Herbert, with advise from Florence Nightingale on suitable terms. He was posted as professor of military medicine and taught there until 1886. At Netley, he was involved in reducing the weight of the gear of army soldiers so as to improve health, a major concern having been heart disease. Maclean was against the issue of alcohol in rations to army soldiers. He also supported an amalgamation of the medical services in the British and Indian armies in India which had been separated on racial lines. Maclean married Louisa Macpherson in Hyderabad in 1845.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James%20Davis%20%28printer%29

James Davis (printer)

James Davis (October 21, 1721 – 1785) was an early American printer and the first printer and first postmaster of the colony of North Carolina. He was also the founder and printer of the North-Carolina Gazette, North Carolina colony's first newspaper. After working with William Parks in Virginia he removed to New Bern to pursue a printing career upon learning an official printer was needed in that colony. Soon after his arrival he began to put down roots, married, and became active in local politics, holding several positions in public office, including membership in the North Carolina Assembly and thereafter a county Sheriff. Davis secured the position of the official printer for the colonial government of the North Carolina colony and was first to print its laws and paper currency. As an accomplished and official printer, Davis was suspected by some of counterfeiting monetary notes, but the allegations were made by a career criminal, himself convicted of multiple counts of counterfeiting and thievery, and facing execution, and the allegations subsequently were never substantiated. Thereafter he went on serving as the colony's official printer and as a North Carolina justice of the peace. Davis supported the cause for American independence and to this end was politically active as a printer and politician before and during the American Revolution. Early and family life He was born in Virginia on October 21, 1721, but the specific location is not known. Nothing else is positively known about his early life until 1745, while living in Williamsburg, Virginia. After living in Williamsburg he removed to North Carolina in New Bern, 1749. Soon after arriving in New Bern Davis married Prudence Hobbs,the widow of Christopher Gregory Hobbs and daughter of William Carruthers. Shortly after Davis married he acquired the property on the southwest corner of Broad and East Front streets in New Bern, where his printing office was located for many years. Their marriage produced four sons and three daughters. Their eldest son, James, was a merchant in New Bern. The second son, John, became a ship captain, but died during the American Revolutionary War while held prisoner aboard a British ship anchored in the Charleston, South Carolina harbor. Davis' youngest son, Thomas, who was an apprentice to his father, is the only son known to have followed in his father's footsteps as a printer, assisting him in his print shop until he was drafted into the Continental Army in 1778. In 1785 Thomas succeeded his father as state printer acting in this capacity until 1785. Printing career North Carolina, with the exception of Georgia, was the last colony to receive a printer and printing press, as it was largely unsettled during this time. As Davis worked for William Parks who established the first press in Virginia in 1736, it is generally assumed by historians that he obtained his training as a printer from him, but any apprenticeship with Parks can not be conclusively established. Upon receiving word that the North Carolina Assembly, which was seated in New Bern, needed an official printer to publish their laws, legislative journals and other official documents, all of which were hand-written in manuscript form and generally disorganized, Davis removed from Virginia to North Carolina. At the age of 28, he became the first printer to set up a print shop in that colony in New Bern, situated at the mouth of the Neuse River near the coast. One of Davis' first undertakings after his arrival to North Carolina was to acquire property. When the Governor and Council met in April 1749, and again in autumn, Davis submitted an application to the Council for land. The Council granted him 200 acres in Johnston County and another 200 acres in Craven County. On June 24, 1749, he began setting up his print shop on Pollock Street in New Bern, which included his printing press, which he had acquired while in Virginia, On April 4, 1748, the North Carolina General Assembly passed an act to have printed £21,350 of currency in various denominations, but no printing was forthcoming until the arrival of James Davis to New Bern. One of his first assignments as public printer was the printing of paper money, (promissory notes), for the North Carolina provincial government. On October 17, 1749, several months after Davis' arrival to North Carolina, the Assembly finally passed a resolution to pay Davis a six-month advance on his salary of £80, and commissioned him to print the bills authorized the year before. Davis did not engrave the copper printing plates but was authorized to account for and handle the actual printing. In 1751, as the official printer for the colony, Davis completed an edition of the Laws of North Carolina. It consisted of one volume in folio, and contained five hundred and eighty pages. He was paid an annual salary of £160 proclamation money, and given copyrights on all government publications he printed. That year Davis printed Swann's Revisal, so entitled because Samuel Swann was chairman of the commission which prepared it. It became popularly known as "The Yellow Jacket" for the yellowish hue of the parchment it was printed on. This was the first book published in North Carolina. In 1752 he relocated his shop to the corner of Front and Broad Streets. His first commission was the printing of The Journal of the House of Burgesses, September 26, 1749. Davis was considered to be a respectable man, and subsequently was given a commission as a magistrate, during the administration of William Tryon, governor of North Carolina from 1764 to 1771. He maintained the position of official printer until the year 1777. Over a thirty-three year period Davis printed and published books and pamphlets mostly of a legal nature. There were, however, a fair variety other topics he published. In 1753 he published a work by English missionary Clement Hall, rector of Saint Paul's Church in Edenton, entitled, A Collection of Many Christian Experiences, and Several Places of Scripture, the first non-legal book printed in North Carolina. According to Benjamin Franklin's account books, Davis, late in 1752 and in 1753, purchased from him paper for printing, pasteboard, and parchment. North Carolina historian William S. Powell maintains that it is quite likely that Hall's work was printed with materials purchased from Franklin just before its printing. Another printing by Davis, The First Book of the American Chronicles of the Times, was humorous text. He also printed and published in 1778 an introduction to Latin grammar, by Thomas Ruddiman, entitled Rudiments of the Latin Tongue, and The Spelling Dictionary, by Thomas Dyche. Davis also published various semi-public works, including his Justice of the Peace, of 1774. It was a 407 page manual and outlined the various duties and responsibilities of a Justice of the Peace, authored and printed by Davis. North Carolina Gazette In 1751, Davis established and began the publication of North-Carolina Gazette, North Carolina's first newspaper. The earliest known copy is dated November 15, 1751. The Gazette was a journal like newspaper containing essays as well as the news. It was issued weekly on Thursdays and was published for approximately eight years, and then discontinued for a time in 1761. No copies after 1769 are known to exist, however. On the May 27, 1768, the Gazette was started up again with its publication continuing until after the commencement of the American Revolutionary War. Its front page inscription read: After winning the Seven Years' War with France, England found itself heavily in debt and in 1764 began imposing a series of taxes on the colonies. The first was the American Revenue Act, followed by the Currency Act. Davis reprinted these acts in several issues of his newspaper in August 1764, coverage of which took up most of the printing space in an issue. In the August 17 issue of the Gazette he also printed a petition, which was sent to King George III, protesting England's failure to enforce an indemnity from France rather than seeking revenues from the colonists. Davis also reprinted letters that appeared in The Boston Gazette and the New Hampshire Gazette denouncing the Sugar Act and the Revenue Act. In 1778 during the Revolutionary War Davis was forced to suspend publication of the Gazette when his son and assistant, Thomas Davis, was conscripted into joining the Continental Army. The Gazette earned Davis the title, "The Father of Journalism in North Carolina". Davis was joined by other printers in publishing North Carolina newspapers, including Andrew Steuart Boyd, a Presbyterian minister from Pennsylvania, who published Wilmington's Cape Fear Mercury in 1776. The North Carolina Magazine In 1764, Davis made another journalistic effort with The North Carolina Magazine, or the Universal Intelligencer. printed on a demy sheet, in quarto pages. The first issue was dated Friday, June 1, to Friday, June 8, 1764. The price per issue was four pence: By the end of that year the size of the paper was reduced by about a half, but its price remained the same. Its news was dated and mostly that of England and Europe and often contained extracts from theological publications taken from various English works and magazines. It is not known how long exactly the Magazine remained in publication but evidently this publication, as it were, was not nearly as successful as the first, for on May 27, 1768, Davis revived The North Carolina Gazette. No issues of The North-Carolina Magazine are known to have survived after January 18, 1765. Counterfeiting allegations The numerous laws against counterfeiting during the years leading up to the American Revolution indicates that this activity occurred often enough in the colonies to warrant their numbers. Several colonies, including Virginia and North Carolina, regarded counterfeiting as an act of treason, where the penalty of death was provided. In 1768 Davis was again commissioned by the North Carolina General Assembly to print £20,000 in paper notes. When counterfeit notes turned up in 1770, printed with the same type Davis had used in 1768, Davis and the two men who had assisted him in the printing, James Mansfield and Samuel Robert Hall, were interrogated by the North Carolina colonial authorities. The counterfeit notes were so well printed that it was assumed by some that the notes were printed either in Williamsburg, Virginia, or in Davis' own printing shop in New Bern. Davis pointed out that when his shop was destroyed in the hurricane of 1769 he had lost sufficient type for someone to reproduce the notes. The investigation, however, failed to establish any culpability involving Davis and his printing shop. Davis soon faced another challenge to his reputation in 1773. Spencer Dew, convicted of a litany of counterfeiting and thievery crimes, and facing execution, accused Davis of printing and giving him £1,000 in counterfeit notes, and that Davis had also given £2,000 in bogus notes to James Coor, a prominent New Bern resident. It is unclear if Dew's allegations were an attempt to discredit Davis, who was also the North Carolina justice of the peace, but the allegations could not be substantiated and the long time established reputations of Davis and Coor remained intact. Davis was reappointed public printer in 1774 and continued to serve as Justice of the Peace in New Bern until 1778. Political career Davis became a member of the county court in 1753 and held that office for twenty-five years. In 1754 he was elected sheriff of Craven County, but after ten months he chose to resign when he was selected as a representative in New Bern in the Assembly. He was denied that seat out of the Assembly's concern that his dual office holding as Sheriff would compromise his capacity to function in that Assembly. In 1755, however, he was elected to the North Carolina Assembly, representing Craven County, where he served until 1760. In 1755 Benjamin Franklin, the Postmaster-General for the American colonies, appointed Davis as the first postmaster of North Carolina at New Bern. In October of that year the North Carolina Assembly awarded him the contract to carry the mail between Wilmington, North Carolina and Suffolk, Virginia. While Davis was mostly committed to public service he still pursued some private interests. In 1764 he established and owned a sawmill on Slocumb's Creek, and posted advertisements for a manager who could operate it while he was committed to his public service involvements. He also advertised for a millwright who could manage the building and operation of another such mill which included a dam used to power the mill. Davis once again printed for the North Carolina Assembly, in 1773, a 575 page work entitled, A complete revisal of all the acts of Assembly, of the province of North-Carolina, now in force and use. It was printed in a variety of type faces and was one of the largest works he ever printed. During the years leading up to the American Revolution, Davis allied himself with the revolutionary cause and printed articles and essays promoting American independence and the revolution. He also became involved with the Council of Safety of New Bern and became a member when that council was founded and began representing New Bern in the Provincial Congress. Davis performed many patriotic duties, including his signing of the Craven County Address on Liberty in 1774, and became a committee member which served in the arming and supplying of ships for war, among other such war-time efforts. In 1777, the North Carolina Assembly appointed him as one of the judges on the Admiralty Court for the port of Beauford. Beginning in 1768 Davis served as Justice of the Peace in New Bern and held that post until 1778. The high point of his political career occurred in 1781 when Davis became a member of the Council of State. Final days and legacy Two years after Davis resumed publication of the North Carolina Gazette he fell into ill health and died in February 1785 at the age of 64. Davis left a will which was probated in the Craven County court in March 1785, which would support the idea that he very likely died the previous month. Davis died a wealthy man, leaving behind a great deal of property he had acquired over the course of his life. His business partner Robert Keith continued publication of the North Carolina Gazette, but changed its name to The Impartial Intelligencer and Weekly General Advertiser. The Intelligencer, however, offered little of state or local news. The last issue was published on September 2, 1784. Although Davis' North Carolina Gazette only lasted for a relatively short period the newspaper served as a catalyst for the establishment of other newspapers in North Carolina. His service as public printer lasted more than thirty years. Davis's greatest legacy was that he was North Carolina's first printer and publisher of over one hundred titles. By the late-eighteenth century, newspapers were appearing in Raleigh, Hillsborough, and Salisbury. James Davis is buried at Christ Episcopal Church, in New Bern, on Pollack Street, the same street where his first printing shop was located. On November 20, 1925 The Richard Dobbs Spaight chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution erected a bronze historical plaque mounted on a block of granite at the site where Davis established the first printing press in North Carolina in New Bern. The plaque commemorates James Davis as the first printer of North Carolina and the first to establish a newspaper in that state, among other such notable accomplishments. Colonial North Carolina historian, Samuel Ashe, said of Davis, that he was "practically the history of the North Carolina press for the first generation of its existence". Historian and archivist Robert Connor referred to Davis as "the father of journalism in North Carolina".

Killing of Amir Locke

Amir Locke, a 22-year-old Black American man, was fatally shot on February 2, 2022, by a SWAT officer of the Minneapolis Police Department inside an apartment in Minneapolis, Minnesota where police were executing a no-knock search warrant in a homicide investigation. The shooting is under review by the office of Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, the Hennepin County attorney's office, and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey imposed a moratorium on most no-knock warrants on February 4. Background Persons involved Amir Locke was a 22-year-old Black man born in Maplewood, Minnesota, and raised in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul suburbs. According to his mother, Locke was starting a music career and planned to move to Dallas the following week. Mark Hanneman has been a police officer in Minneapolis since 2015. He is a member of the Minneapolis Police Department's SWAT team. According to personnel records released by the department, Hanneman had three past complaints, all closed without disciplinary action. Prior to working with the police department, Hanneman was employed as a police officer in Hutchinson, Minnesota, starting in 2010. Search warrant Locke was shot while police were executing a search warrant in relation to a homicide that occurred in nearby Saint Paul, Minnesota, in January 2022. The Saint Paul Police Department applied for a "knock and announce" warrant, and the Minneapolis police department insisted on a no-knock warrant, according to the St. Paul Police Department. Police also had "probable cause pick up and holds" for three people. Amir Locke was not named in the search warrant and was not a target of the homicide investigation. Incident On February 2, 2022, police unlocked and opened a door to an apartment at approximately 6:48 a.m. Police body camera footage reviewed by reporters "showed several officers quickly rushing into the apartment at the same time", several yelling "Police! Search warrant!", one officer yelling "Hands, hands!", and another yelling "Get on the ground!" Locke was lying on a couch wrapped in a blanket, and an officer kicked the couch. Locke then sat up and turned toward the officers while holding a gun, and in a still image released by police, his trigger finger is along the barrel of the gun. He was then shot twice in the chest and once in the wrist by Hanneman. The time from when police entered the unit, to when Locke was shot, was less than 10 seconds. Locke was treated at the scene and transported to Hennepin Healthcare, where emergency medics pronounced him dead at 7:01 a.m. Investigations The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension opened an investigation and Hanneman was placed on paid administrative leave. An autopsy report published on February 4 by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner classified the manner of Locke's death to be homicide due to gunshot wounds. The office of the Attorney General of Minnesota will work with the Hennepin County attorney's office to review the case. Prosecutors will determine whether to bring criminal charges against Mark Hanneman. No-knock warrant policy moratorium and review Following the killing of Amir Locke, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey imposed a moratorium on no-knock warrants on February 4, with an exception for "an imminent threat of harm to an individual or the public and then the warrant must be approved by the Chief", such as hostage situations or extreme domestic violence. Racial justice activist DeRay Mckesson and professor of police studies Peter Kraska of Eastern Kentucky University will work with the city to review possible changes to the no-knock warrant policy during the moratorium. On February 7, the Minneapolis City Council Policy and Government Oversight Committee began discussion about no-knock warrants. Minnesota legislators also plan to consider a ban on most no-knock warrants, and Governor Tim Walz has indicated he will sign the legislation. The Minneapolis Office of Police Conduct Review is also reviewing the no-knock warrant policy. Reaction Family The parents of Amir Locke said the death was an "execution". His parents also stated their son did not live at the apartment. The family said Amir was "a deep sleeper" and may have been startled and "grabbed for his gun". The family also said he had a gun license and a concealed carry permit, and had a gun for protection due to his work for DoorDash. Minnesota attorney Jeff Storms and civil rights attorneys Ben Crump and Antonio Romanucci are representing Locke's family as legal counsel. On February 4, Crump stated, "If we've learned anything from Breonna Taylor, it's that we know no-knock warrants have deadly consequences for Black American citizens." At a press conference on February 7, Crump stated, "Warrants create chaotic, confusing circumstances that put everyone present at risk and those people are disproportionately marginalized people of color." On February 10, family members of Locke and Breonna Taylor held a press conference with Crump, Storms, and Romanucci, and called for a ban on no-knock warrants. Officials On February 3, Minneapolis interim police chief Amelia Huffman said both a knock and no-knock warrant were obtained as part of a St. Paul Police Department homicide investigation so the SWAT team could make its best assessment, and that it was "unclear" if Locke was connected to the St. Paul investigation. A spokesperson for the police department refused to comment due to the ongoing nature of the homicide investigation. Body camera footage was released to the public after Representative Ilhan Omar and members of the Minnesota House of Representatives called for the immediate release of the footage. Based on a still shot from the body cam footage, Huffman stated "That's the moment when the officer had to make a split-second decision to assess [...] an articulable threat, that the threat was of imminent harm, great bodily harm or death, and that he needed to take action" to protect himself and other officers. Huffman also stated, "Ultimately, that decision of whether that threshold was met will be examined by the county attorney's office that reviews this case." Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison stated "Amir Locke's life mattered" when it was announced that his office will work with the Hennepin County attorney's office in its review. Minnesota Representative Esther Agbaje, who resides in the building where Locke was shot and was home at the time, said "We need to continue to have a serious conversation about what does policing look like in this city, so it's safe—not only for the police officers but also for the people who live here." Minnesota House Majority Leader Ryan Winkler said, "Minnesotans deserve a thorough and impartial investigation into the events that led to Mr. Locke's death, including the Minneapolis Police Department sharing inaccurate information in the immediate aftermath." Community groups On February 2, local civil rights activists held a vigil and asked police and city leaders for more information, including who authorized the SWAT team. On February 4, during a press conference by Interim Chief Amelia Huffman and Mayor Jacob Frey after the body camera footage was released, reporters and community members, including civil rights attorney Nekima Levy Armstrong, challenged Huffman about her initial description of the body camera footage. Huffman had initially stated officers "loudly and repeatedly announced police search warrant before crossing the threshold into the apartment" and then later encouraged people to "make their own assessment" after the footage was released. On February 7, the Minneapolis NAACP called for a moratorium on no-knock warrants throughout the state, "pending a determination by the Peace Officers Standards and Training (POST) Board as to whether the no-knock procedure is an appropriate use of police power". The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) noted a lack of a police command to Locke to drop the gun or a warning that he would be shot. The ACLU of Minnesota called for a ban on no-knock warrants. According to Rob Doar, the senior vice president of governmental affairs in the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus, "Mr. Locke did what many of us might do in the same confusing circumstances, he reached for a legal means of self-defense while he sought to understand what was happening." According to the Chair of the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus, Bryan Strawser, "Black men, like all citizens, have a right to keep and bear arms. Black men, like all citizens, have the right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable search and seizure." A statement from the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis, the local police union, includes: "Policing, particularly with a SWAT team, is a dangerous, high-stress profession where officers are forced to make important split-second decisions in defense of themselves and fellow officers, especially when weapons are involved". Protests In Minneapolis—Saint Paul On the evening of February 4, protesters in cars began honking outside Minneapolis City Hall and then moved through downtown towards where the shooting occurred, until about 8:00 p.m. On February 5, hundreds of people in Minneapolis protested Locke's death. On February 6, protesters gathered outside Huffman's home in the Cedar-Isles-Dean neighborhood of Minneapolis to demand her resignation. On February 8, high school students in St. Paul and Minneapolis organized by MN Teen Activists walked out of class in protest and marched to the residence of the governor. Jerome Treadwell, the executive director of MN Teen Activists, stated, "Our message today is that we need to protect young black lives. We are humans, we deserve to live and we have hopes and dreams." On February 11, a protest of approximately 100 people marched through south Minneapolis during the evening to demand justice over the police killings of Amir Locke and Winston Boogie Smith, who had been killed by law enforcement on June 3, 2021. Along Lake Street, several properties were vandalized and tagged with anti-police and anarchist graffiti. Some demonstrators threw rocks at the Minneapolis Police Department's fifth precinct station building. On February 16, approximately 40 protesters gathered outside the home of Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey to demand justice over Locke's death. On February 20, protesters gathered outside the Minnesota State Capitol building in Saint Paul for a "Justice for Amir Locke" rally. Elsewhere In Chicago, Illinois, a protest over Locke's death was held on February 11—the first protest in that city over his death. In Portland, Oregon, protesters planned a demonstration for February 19 in response to the police killings of Amir Locke and Patrick Kimmons, who was fatally shot by Portland police officers in 2018. As people gathered for the demonstration, five people were injured by gunfire, and one woman was killed during a nearby shooting in Normandale Park.

James Allen Paul

James Allen Paul (April 19, 1947 – March 3, 2000) was an American spree killer who murdered three people during a seven-day rampage across three states during May 1984. He was eventually tracked down, convicted, and sentenced to life imprisonment, which he served at New Jersey State Prison until his death in 2000. Early life James Allen Paul was born on April 19, 1947, in Norfolk, Virginia. Little is known about his early life, but in his adult years Paul obtained work as stable hand for farms. In 1983, Paul moved to Room 1 at the Belvedere Motel on Route 22 in Readington Township, New Jersey. At the same motel lived 47-year-old Virginia Vickory. Murders On May 15, 1984, Vickory was found murdered in a field in Readington Township, having been shot in the face at a close range. Police quickly circled in on Paul, then 37 years old, who also went under multiple aliases including James Dalton and Steve Sanders. Paul fled to Connecticut not long after and, on May 17, 18-year-old Robin White went missing. Investigators believe White may have been hitchhiking and Paul offered her a ride and later killed her. White's body was found along a road in Portland, Connecticut on May 20, shot to death with the same gun used to kill Vickory. Then, on May 22, 45-year-old George Call, a nurse of 10 years at the Sullivan Home nursing home, was found shot to death at a rest area along Interstate 91 in Springfield, Vermont. He had been shot in the face twice, just like Vickory, with his wallet stolen. Arrest A warrant was put out for Paul's arrest after Call's murder, and numerous tips began to flow in. Paul was considered armed and dangerous, and a nationwide alert was issued. Some of the tips sent by people began to shed light on Paul's whereabouts. Investigators began to develop a theory that Paul would return to New Jersey to pay a phone call from a family member. They tracked Paul's potential movements to a diner in Arlington, New Jersey, where he was trying to call a relative, and they arrested him. They found that Paul had been in possession of Vickory's car, and had a .22 caliber handgun latched onto him. Paul was held without bail at the Hunterdon County Jail until he was formally charged with Vickory's murder. Death Paul was additionally charged with the killings of White and Call; however, he never went to trial for their murders. He was due to stand trial for Vickory's murder, and to avoid a possible death sentence, Paul pleaded guilty to Vickory's murder, as well as burglary and other charges, and was sentenced to life imprisonment. For the remainder of his sentence, Paul remained in custody at New Jersey State Prison, which he stayed in until he died on March 3, 2000.

Michael John (historian)

Michael John (born 1954 in Linz, Upper Austria) is an Austrian historian and exhibitions-curator, internationally known for his research on European and Jewish migration, and on Nazism (like Nazi plunder, Forced labour under German rule during World War II, or the Holocaust in Austria. Biography Michael John finished his high school education 1971 with the Matura at the so-called "Academic" Gymnasium in Linz, and studied from 1972 to 1980 History und Political science at the University of Vienna. During his studies he turned to Social and Economic history, and graduated 1980 as Ph.D. with a thesis on housing of the working and lower classes in Vienna around 1900 (see John 1982, John 1984). He started his scientific career 1985 at the Institute for Social and Economic History (University of Vienna), and continued it 1986 at the Institute for Social and Economic History at the University of Linz. There he advanced from Assistant professor (1993) to Associate professor (2001, after his Habilitation with a study on the population of Linz in the 19th and 20th century as result of national and international migration, see John 2000). He was deputy head (2008-2014, 2017–2019) and head (2015-2017) of the Institute of Social and Economic History at the University of Linz. Michael John was 2011 – 2019 also head of the Institute of Cultural Economics and Cultural Research (Institut für Kulturwirtschaft und Kulturforschung (KUWI) at the University of Linz).

Research focuses Michael John concentrated his historical research on several focuses, which he treated not only by scientific research, but also by Applied history, curating exhibitions on relevant themes. See here the main focuses: Nazism, Aryanization, Nazi plunder and its restitution, Forced labour under German rule during World War II Michael John has conducted intensive research on Nazism, especially on the history of Aryanization, on aspects of Nazi plunder, with focus on plundered/ looted art and its restitution from the property of Austrian museums (see here John 2012b, John 2007a, John 2004a). Here he also studied aspects of forced labour under Nazi rule (see f.e. John 2012a). He curated an exhibition on the topic of forced labor (see exhibition 2014).
