Sheldon Pollock quoted in Kuruvilla, Elizabeth (24 January 2015). "The modern revivalists". Live Mint corresponded with [HUP] on 5 January 2009, saying that the Clay Sanskrit Library ... was coming to an end and I wanted to find a way to build on that visionary project ... John Clay ... had decided to move on to other philanthropic activities. So the library was closed and many translators were left hanging. They had done one part of a series, Book 1 of Kadambari, Books 2 and 3 were just “sorry, bye". I want to praise John Clay for his extraordinary vision, but many people were blindsided by the sudden termination of the library and I felt that was unfair. ... John said no, I don’t want you to go raise money for me, I don’t want to continue the series, it is what it is, thank you, bye-bye—that was in October 2008"
David Copperfield -- little Emily was never a prostitute, whereas Martha was.
do you remember Martha?” / “Of our town?” / I needed no other answer than his face. / “Do you know that she is in London?” / “I have seen her in the streets,” he answered, with a shiver.
When my child,” he said aloud, and with an energy of gratitude that shook him from head to foot, “stood upon the brink of more than I can say or think on—Martha, trew to her promise, saved her!”

Municipal Corporation (Boundaries) Act 1836 suggests 1835 act mistakenly added corporate county's Liberties to municipal area, whereas 1836 act reversed that and seemingly also took Liberties from corporate to at-large county. Presumably this experience influenced Irish act of 1840.

Satow & Ritchie A guide to diplomatic practice (1932) p. 20 "The mode of appointment of His Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs is by the delivery to him by the sovereign of the seals of office. There are three seals, the signet, a lesser seal, and a small seal called the cachet; all these are engraved with the Royal arms, but the signet alone has the supporters. In the Foreign Office, diplomatic and consular commissions signed by the sovereign pass under the signet; the lesser seal is used for royal warrants (such as instruments authorising the affixing of the Great Seal to full powers and to ratifications of treaties); the cachet is used to seal the envelopes of letters containing communications of a personal character made by the King to foreign sovereigns." — I guess the UK signet has 2 sides, obs throned majesty and rev arms with supporters, whereas IFS signet has obs throned majesty and rev harp. Then maybe IFS fob seal corresponds to UK lesser seal, and cachet would be unused in IFS. But Satow uses don't really correspond to DIFP 1937 No. 97. The 4th ed. (1957, by Bland) slightly different: Nope, fob seal design corresponds to cachet per 1937 RMint rpt, so use difference is more greater vs lesser signet.
p. 22 s. 27 The mode of appointment of Her Majesty’s Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs is by the delivery to him by the sovereign of the seals of office. There are three seals, viz. a greater and a lesser signet and a small seal called the cachet; all these are engraved with the Royal Arms. The two former now differ only in point of size. In the Foreign Office, diplomatic and consular commissions signed by the sovereign pass under the greater signet; the lesser is used in the case of royal exequaturs granted to foreign consular officers, and for royal warrants (such as instruments authorising the affixing of the Great Seal to full powers and to ratifications of treaties); the cachet is used to seal the envelopes of letters containing communications of a personal character made by the Queen to foreign sovereigns.
p. 396 s. 706 Most formal documents signed by the Sovereign, whether countersigned by a Minister or not, bear a Seal, which may be either the Great Seal of the Realm, which is in the custody of the Lord Chancellor, or the Signet, which is the Seal entrusted to United Kingdom Secretaries of State. In 1931 King George V approved a proposal by the Irish Free State Government that a new Great Seal of the Irish Free State and a new Signet should be instituted for sealing Royal documents relating solely to the Free State. In 1934 legislation was passed by the Parliament of the Union of South Africa instituting a Royal Great Seal of the Union and a Royal Signet. In 1939 Canada passed legislation providing that documents which would normally be sealed with the Great Seal of the Realm or the Signet might be sealed with the Great Seal of Canada, i.e., the Seal in the custody of the GovernorGeneral which is used for sealing documents signed by him
I am beginning to doubt whether greater signet is two-sided; RMint 1902 p.60 talks of "Greater Seal" and "lesser seal" for secretaries of state, made with new king's style, but not till 1904 was Great Seal of the UK made. So the UK Foreign Secretary did not have a seal[=signet] with the king's likeness, just the title and the arms guess. OTOH Exchequer seal of 1939 replaced 1904 model (1939 Rpt p. 12); was that double-sided? yes; was figure used? yes, obverse reproduced that of Great Seal (though reverse was just arms).
Cecil Thomas Autobiography pp. 53-54 "I engraved the Great Seal of the Irish Free State, designed by a Dublin Museum official who put together a couple of photographs – one – that of the ancient harp – the other the detail decoration on the Ardagh Chalice, forming a border to surround the harp; and the Irish inscriptions outside that. It wasn’t much of a design, but as it relied on sharp definition for its interest, I decided to engrave it by hand which meant hammer and chisel work for it was very bold. I think it must be the last Great Seal in these Islands to be cut by hand. It makes a good impression but is artistically dull, as most rehashes in design"
Royal Mint 1931-11-16 "Great Seal of the Irish Free State. The Chairman reported that a new double-sided Great Seal for wax impressions was required for the use of the Government of the Irish Free State. The Seal itself was to bear the design of the Great Seal of the Realm (with one minor modification), but the Counterseal was to be of new design. A model for the Counterseal had been prepared by Mr. Metcalfe. Gutta percha impressions (unfinished) were examined by the Committee. The general feeling was that the treatment was coarse, especially when compared with the wafer seal executed some time ago by Mr. Cecil Thomas, impressions of which were also before the Committee. The Chairman stated that Mr. Cecil Thomas' seal would continue to be used for certain purposes."
Royal Mint Annual Report 1937 Volume No.68 p7 "A new series of seals was put in hand for the Government of Éire" [p/ 41] "Following the new Constitution for Éire, that Government decided to change the titles on the Ministerial and other official seals from SAORSTÁT ÉIREANN to ÉIRE and to discontinue the use of bi-lingual names on the seals. The general designs remained unchanged and seals for the President, Prime Minister, the Government (formerly Executive Council) and Minister for External Affairs were engraved and despatched to Éire. In the case of the seal for the President, which is five inches in diameter and requires a special press, the fitting up of the seal in the press was done in the Mint, but all the other seals were fitted to their presses by the staff of the Stamping Department, Dublin Castle." 1938 Volume No.69 p. 46 "A large order of over 80 Court of Justice and other seals with Gaelic inscription, to replace the existing seals with bi-lingual inscriptions, was placed by the Government of Éire, but only five of these were completed by the end of the year." p. 49 'A number of cheque dies were returned from Éire, and the existing Irish Free State monogram "SE" in the design was replaced by "E."' 1939 p. 32 "A further 26 seals with Gaelic inscription for the Government of Éire were despatched during the year." [1940 p. 51] "15 Circuit Court Seals, 10 Land Registry Seals and 3 Probate Registry Seals were supplied to the Government of Éire during the year." [1941 p. 125] "Three Seals were made for the High Commissioners of Éire in London, Ottawa and Lisbon, respectively, and twelve for Land Registries of Éire." [1942 p. 138] "Three new seals were made for the Department of External Affairs, Éire. The first, for the High Commissioner's Office in London was fitted to a hand lever press and issued ready for use. The second and third for use in Lisbon and Ottawa were sent to Éire with counterparts to be fitted to existing presses. A further twelve seals for Éire local Land Registries were completed and issued with counterparts and No. 4 hand lever presses for final fitting in Éire. The seals were struck from the standard punch prepared for this series and the County inscriptions were added by hand engraving." [1943 p. 145] "Six Seals for Land Registries and Probate Registries of Éire completed the series of non-ministerial Seals required by that change of name." [1944 p. 175] "A double sided seal was made for the Éire Genealogical Office."

The Signet Seal to be used will be that approved by His Majesty for use in the Irish Free State."[6] commission was "passed under the Royal Sign Manual and Signet"[7] — is this the same as the "IFS signet seal" used on exequaturs and diplomatic commissions? In which case, I guess the IFS signet seal was in the custody of the King in Britain, and used on documents authorising GG to use the Great Seal. Where was the fob seal kept?

Her first name, dg, was a family name made up when her adopted brother couldn’t pronounce the name Donagene.

"Varah's consultancy work for the sex education magazine Forum for 20 years until 1987" theguardian.com 2007/nov/10
thetimes "He once told Penthouse magazine that he would rather his daughter became a prostitute than a policewoman who might pose as a prostitute to entrap kerb-crawlers." "The first time I met him was at lunch in 1970 at Forum, the sex magazine, which he wrote for." "Fundamentally, after the early days of the marriage, Chad did have other relationships" 'Called as an expert witness in the Linda Lovelace porn trial, he turned on a QC counsel who cited the seventh commandment and asked, “Why are you quoting this ancient desert lore at me?”'
independent.co.uk 'He continued as rector of St Stephen Walbrook and as a sex therapist, his "specialisation" being women unable to orgasm. Not everyone thought such work fitting; in the early 1970s, he was arraigned before the Deanery Synod on a charge of conduct unbecoming a clergyman because of his association with Forum magazine, for whom he wrote articles such as "Let them be gay", "The right to abortion" and "Is marriage still valid?" The motion was defeated.'
so the question is the order and chronology of relationships between UK and US editions of Penthouse and Forum; when and which were joint ventures, licensees, and/or labels of a single owner?.

Proponents claim that Joffe was erroneously attributing the addition of the name Marity, Marić's official name, to a "non-existent" Swiss custom.[13]
problems with this:
is Marity really "Marić's official name" or just round-trip error from Joffe transcription into Cyrillic (or vice versa given she was Serbian)?
the cited source 13 is Joffe himself, not "Proponents" commenting on Joffe (unless source also includes relevant commentary, in which case the Citation should name the editor or other commentator)
if the papers are credited to Einstein, not "Einstein-Marity", was Joffe Just Plain Wrong or is it assumed he was referring to a draft version, or some unofficial designation for the papers?
unclear what Joffe meant, what "Proponents" think he meant, whether they agree with him or believe that he noted a significant fact and drew an indirect inference from it. Maybe "Proponents" believe
BOTH Joffe thinks Einstein submitted the papers as "Einstein-Marity" that being his legal name
AND Joffe was wrong, "Einstein-Marity" was two people, not one

US names, Opie-like academic sources? Four names in 1987 source.[10]
One book says knocking was 19C snobbier than ringing the bell
Was "n—r knocking" a corruption of "knick-knocking"? Maybe racist violence (as per Louis Armstrong Harpers 1967 Nov p 67, Janis Joplin et al) was the original sense, and the extension to ding-dong-dash was a conflation and/or bad joke (1987[10] is earliest source I have found for latter sense). See louisarmstronghouse blogpost "I wasn’t able to pinpoint the transformation of the term"
Google "pulling or ringing any door bell" finds more acts than 1839 and 1847 already mentioned: including
guide to local government suggests 1847 provisions extended by later acts PHA 1875 s.171, MCA 1882, and under LGA 1888 act could be in rural areas by County/District Council bye-laws
A Nevis Island act of 14 April 1858 s. 1(n); similarly Hong Kong; British Honduras; St John, New Brunswick; South Australia; Sydney, NSW
Some parts incorporated into later acts; did those include s.28? Some refer to "street"~"obstruction"+"nuisance" which seems to match the lede of the section
Also Crockford 1857 p755 "a constable is not justified in taking a person into custody under this section unless the offence has been committed within his view" — may be an explicit provision of 1839 not in others?
The 2013 act repealing s28 of 1847 (and similar of others) related to animal hygiene; were other clauses already repealed, including bell-ringing? Or just fallen into disuse or considered unenforceable?

The phrase was thought to have been "war-based" industrial complex before becoming "military" in later drafts of Eisenhower's speech, a claim passed on only by oral history — Ledbetter references 'a speechwriter staff memorandum' for "war based industrial complex", and Winfield W. Riefler (Our Economic Contribution to VictoryForeign Affairs October 1947 p. 95) for the specific term "military-industrial complex" relating to US war effort
James Ledbetter's refutation extends to all third terms (implicitly including "academic") not just the other two specified ("congressional", "scientific").
due to James William Fulbright; Dec 1967 in Senate: mentions on 5th, then gives speech on 13th on "the war and its effects" with section 1 titled MIAC and saying "The universities might have formed an effective counterweight to the military-industrial complex by strengthening their emphasis on the traditional values of our democracy, but many of our leading universities have instead joined the monolith"
Here Lieven says 'Eisenhower's original phrase apparently [emph added] was "military-industrial-academic-complex".' His book America Right or Wrong2012 ed p83 asserts "Eisenhower's original phrase" with no cite; 2004 ed p89 lacks the assertion, using the phrase without comment.
1970 reader has various military-industrial-foo-complex examples
As the words feed on themselves, the charges get stronger and stronger and the complex gets all-embracing. The academic world is added because of military research. Some papers have added the labor unions— and, of course, politicians have to be included in any roasting. So we have the “military-industrial-educational-political-labor union complex.” We have just about everybody in there but the Boy Scouts.

An even larger area south of the harbour, South Slob, was drained in 1856. The overall result of this ambitious venture was 5000 acres of prime agricultural land, 8 feet (2.4 m) below sea level, albeit at the cost of access to the harbour by anything but the smallest or flat-bottomed boats."

Queen Anne did make him an Irish Privy Councillor but he had to resign from that[3] when in 1713 a convocation of the Church of Ireland recommended prosecution for "an indictable profanation of the holy scriptures", after he had quoted Scripture in the course of an insult to Church of Ireland representatives at a viceregal levée.

Either "Surname baronets of placename (creation-year)" or "Surname baronets of placename (nth creation)" would suffice; there is no need for "Surname baronets of placename (nth creation, creation-year)"
in any case, note that noble titles put all creations on one page so no reason for baronets to be different
"Articles on baronetcies should be sorted by surname, i.e. all baronetcies held by people with a particular surname should share an article, regardless of whether they are actually related." flies in the face of Category:Set index articles on titles of nobility
Based on this diff, I surmise the convention changed in 2023 from "all in one page" to "set index of articles with double-disambig titles"
I don't know where this was discussed. Have all pages changed to the new format?
I support the split from "all in one page" but
not the "double-disambig titles"
not the split of multiple creations for same location

'This tendency towards structural unity in content and narrative motivation even goes so far as to bend other forms to fit this structure. For example, the helpful bottle spirit known from folklore, called "Stirpitus flammiliarum" [= spiritus familiaris] by Grimmelshausen (Chapter 18), is by no means a demonic possession that cannot be relinquished. In a spirit of reckless deception, Courasche gives it to the unsuspecting Springinsfeld, who easily manages to burn it in an oven.' (JSTOR402778 p. 185)

1970 Fodors by sports journalist Garry Redmond: "It is one of Ireland’s paradoxes that the rousing Cork ballad, unofficial anthem of sportsmen up and down the country, celebrates not an heroic athlete, but, in fact, a curmudgeonly spoilsport. Yet this lively, swinging song perfectly captures the heart and spirit of sporting Ireland: you'll hear it sung con brio and gusto among anglers, footballers, horsemen, hurlers, golfers, yachtsmen—wherever in the wide spectrum of sporting enjoyment you care to look when the day’s endeavours are done."

1812 "In Rockingham Forest, which contains three Bailiwicks, each subdivided into several Walks, there are large tracts of Woodlands which formerly belonged to the Crown, but which have long been alienated in perpetuity. Those Woodlands, however, remained subject to the pasturage of the King's deer, and the cattle of the Commoners; and in one of the Walks the Oak Trees of a certain size are excepted to the Crown, though the underwood and the soil of the Woodlands are granted in fee. The offices of Forester, or Keeper of the different Walks, are also granted in perpetuity; and in each Walk there are inclosed Pasture Lands called Lawns, in the whole of considerable extent, appropriated to the feeding and preservation of the deer, and not subject to Rights of Common. These Lawns are possessed by the Keepers of the respective Districts; and in some of them, the soil and entire property of the Land are claimed by the Grantees of the Keeperships, though the custody only is considered to be granted. In the Walks of Sulehay and Morehay, within the Bailiwick of Cliffe, the Woodlands and the hereditary Keeperships belong to the Earl of Westmorland; in the Walk of Westhay, within the same Bailiwick, they belong to the Earl of Exeter [recte Marquess since 1801]; in Farming Woods Walk, within Brigstock Bailiwick, they are the property of the Earl of Upper Ossory; and in the different Walks, within the Bailiwick of Rockingham, the Keeperships, with a great part of the Woodlands, belong to George Finch Hatton, Esquire. In order to put an end to the mixture of Rights existing in this property, and to the destruction of the Woods froin the bite of the deer and cattle, Acts have been passed for setting out Lands in compensation for the Common Rights in the Bailiwicks of Brigstock and Cliffe, and in part of the Bailiwick of Rockingham, and for enabling His Majesty to grant to Lord Westmorland, Lord Exeter, Lord Ossory, and Mr. Hatton, all the remaining Rights of the Crown within their respective Districts, for a full and adequate consideration. By means of the various Grants from the Crown within this Forest, a diversity of interests is created in each separate District, and consequently in the sale of the remaining Rights of the Crown, the objects of treaty are different with each party. In the investigations which the Surveyor General found necessary for ascertaining those Rights preparatory to the sale, questions have arisen respecting the interests claimed by the Grantees in some of the Walks; and those questions having been agreed to be referred to arbitration, a statement of the matters in dispute has been prepared by the Surveyor General, by the direction of the Treasury, and is now under the consideration of the Arbitrators. In the mean time the allotting of Lands in compensation for the Rights of Common, is going on under the direction of the Commissioners appointed for that purpose; and Surveyors have been directed to value the Rights of the Crown, preparatory to the fixing of the price to be paid for them. The money arising from the sale of those Rights is directed to be laid out in the purchase of £. 3 per centum Consolidated Bank Annuities, in the name of the Lord High Treasurer of England; and there is reason to expect, that, besides the important object of freeing so extensive and valuable a tract of Woodlands from incumbrances which have rendered them of very little value to the owners, a considerable addition to the produce of the Land Revenue will arise from the sale of Rights, which at present produce no other advantage to the Crown than the supply of a few brace of deer for His Majesty's larder."

Emil Gigas[da] 1899:[16] Den melankolske Komiker, der kun kan helbredes ved at se sig selv paa Scenen, er i den franske Tradition oftest Dominique, om hvis alvorlige Naturel Sagnet endda melder, at han gik og hørte Professor Regis' Forelæsninger over Descartes' Filosofi. Og Ordene »Allez voir Dominique«, hentede fra Lægens og Harlekinens Samtale i en Komedie fra 1801, ere omtrent blevne til Ordsprog.*) Men i Rahbeks »Breve fra en gammel Skuespiller«(1782) er det Carlin (Carlo Bertinazzi i Paris, død 1783), som har at kæmpe med sit uhelbredelige Tungsind. Og i et af Samuel Smiles' Folkeskrifter er den humørsyge Aktør angliseret til Londonerklownen Grimaldi, som faar det unyttige Raad af den berømte Doktor Abernethy.
translation: The melancholic comedian, who can only be cured by seeing himself on stage, is in the French tradition most often Dominique, about whose serious nature legend even reports that he went to hear Professor Regis' lectures on Descartes' philosophy. And the words »Allez voir Dominique«, taken from the conversation between the doctor and the Harlequin in a comedy from 1801, have almost become proverbs.*) But in Knud Lyne Rahbek's »Letters from an Old Actor«(1782) p110 it is Carlin (Carlo Bertinazzi in Paris, died 1783) who has to struggle with his incurable melancholy. And in one of Samuel Smiles's folk writings [Character 1871 p231] the moody actor is anglicized to the London clown Grimaldi, who receives the useless advice of the famous Doctor Abernethy.
1782 (1st anon ed. 1778–9 in Det Almindelige Danske Bibliothek[17]) Carlin i Paris er et merkeligt Exempel herpaa; du veed, han efter Sigende spiller Harlequin til Fuldkommenhed: han er et Rov for den gyseligste Hypokondrie, og har i mange Aar søgt Hielp hos alle berømte Læger. Eengang kom der en meget berømt fremmed Læge til Paris. Carlin, som Lægen ikke kiendte, kisnt han havde seet ham paa Skuepladsene, kom, og søgte hielp hos ham. Denne raadde ham mangfoldige Ting; men Carlin havde alt brugt dem alle forgieves. "Saa kan jeg ikke raade Dem andet, sagde Lagen, end at gaae flittig paa den italienske Komedie, og see Carlin; kan han ikke kurere Dem, maae Deres Onde være meget indgroet." "Carlin, svarte Patienten, er jeg selv; jeg kan nok fornsie andre, men ikke muntre mig selv."
Carlin in Paris is a strange example of this; you know, according to legend, he plays Harlequin to perfection: he is prey for the most hideous hypochondriacs and has sought help from all the famous doctors for many years. Once a very famous foreign doctor came to Paris. Carlin, whom the doctor did not know, knew he had seen him at the Theater, came and sought help from him. This gave him many advices; but Carlin had allt brought them all forgiveness. "Then I can't advise you otherwise," said Lagen, "than to diligently go to the Italian comedy and meet Carlin; if he can't cure you, your evil must be very ingrained." "Carlin," replied the patient, "I am myself; I can certainly forgive others, but I can't cheer myself up."
Tel est le titre d'une comédie en un acte de Joseph Pain, représentée au Vaudeville le 28 septembre 1801. A la scène VIII, le médecin Diétis, consulté par le célèbre arlequin Dominique sur une invincible mélancolie, lui donne ce conseil, sans se douter qu'il s'adresse à l'artiste lui-même: «Allez voir Dominique.»
Je suis le seul, répond le malheureux mime, qui ne puisse pas profiter de l'ordonnance.
Semblable aventure serait arrivée, dit-on, à Joseph Dominique Biancolelli, acteur de la Comédie-Italienne (1640-1688).
Bien que cette formule ne soit pas réellement populaire, nous avons tenu à l'enregistrer, parce qu'elle peint, avec une bien poignante ironie, le contraste, hélas! si fréquent, entre la gaîté de commande de ceux qui ont pour métier de faire rire et la tristesse qu'ils ont dans le cœur.

Fast hundert Jahre lang, von 1798 bis 1887, blieb Gladbach offizieller Stadtname, dann wurde die Stadt kreisfrei und München-Gladbach genannt, was zur Verwechslung mit der bayrischen Metropole führen musste, daher schrieb man M.-Gladbach. Nach der Städtetrennung Gladbach-Rheydt 1933 erhielt die Stadt wieder den alten Namen, jedoch mit der Schreibweise ohne Bindestrich: M.Gladbach.
1950 entschloss sich der Stadtrat zur Umbenennung des Namens in "Mönchen Gladbach" unter "Beibehaltung der Schreibweise M.Gladbach. Erst 1960 entschied der Rat sich zur Angleichung von Sprech- und Schreibweise: Mönchengladbach.
did 1950 change from München to Mönchen affect only the pronunciation or also the spelling? I think it's saying that the pronunciation and unused long-spelling changed in 1950 from München~ to Mönchen~, but the used short-spelling stayed "M.Gladbach"; then in 1960 the short-spelling was deprecated in favour of the long-spelling.
was football club called "München Gladbach" or "Mönchen Gladbach" or "M.Gladbach" in the 1950–60 period? Informally vs formally? Note that formal long names in Germany may be very different e.g. originally "Borussia 1900 M.gladbach"

HC Deb 11 July 1923 vol 166 cc1326-7 "asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if the lands, buildings, and fortifications, formerly the property of the British Government, at Berehaven, Haulbowline, and Lough Swilly have been transferred as the property of the Irish Free State" "the reply to the first part of the question is in the affirmative, except for Berehaven, which is expressly reserved under the Treaty. I understand that the Army fortifications at Haulbowline and Lough Swilly are similarly reserved."
IT interprets Naval dockyards handed over, not Army fortifications.

No stores or other property elsewhere in Free State territory have been retained by the Admiralty."
per ww1-cork-harbour-trail-pdf "Signal Station" (a) Fort Templebreedy, (b) Haulbowline, and (c) Admiralty House; my guess is (a) kept (b) not (c) burnt?
1921/dec/15Viscount Finlay alleged "The oil fuel storage is to be secured by the stations where we keep the oil at present being sold to a commercial company with a guarantee of enough fuel being supplied for the Admiralty requirements."—was that wrong in 1921 or did it change by 1923 or is 1923 quote wrong?

JSTOR27198278 "The most apparent result [of Arts 6-7 of Treaty] was the continuing presence of British forces in the forts defending the strategic harbours. In addition, two Royal Navy destroyers were located in Irish waters until 1938, with mooring buoys in Cork Harbour maintained by the OPW for their use. A conference was to take place five years after the enactment of the Treaty to discuss Irish maritime defences." 1927 discussion IFS said would not start its own navy till UK returned ports.

Navies and nations (1927) Hector C. Bywater "Of far greater moment is the future status of such harbours as Queenstown, Lough Swilly, and Berehaven. The free use of these and other Irish harbours for British naval purposes would be absolutely essential in case of war with a Great Power. In the British Government's proposals for Irish peace in August, 1920, the following passage occurred: "Great Britain lives by sea-borne food; her communications depend upon the freedom of the great sea routes. Ireland lies at Britain's side across the sea-ways north and south that link her with the sister nations of the Empire, the markets of the world, and the vital sources of her food supply. In recognition of this fact, which Nature has imposed and no statesmanship can change, it is essential that the Royal Navy alone should control the seas around Ireland and Great Britain." Such control, to be effective, would involve the unrestricted use of Irish harbours in war time by vessels of the Royal Navy. As the settlement of this question necessarily depends on the future political relations of the two countries, it need not be pursued here. It should, however, be pointed out that the development of aircraft may compel us, in the event of war with a major Continental Power, to transfer the main fleet to a base on the Irish coast, where it would lie beyond reach of air attack. This possibility renders it the more desirable that a clear understanding should be reached as to the part which Irish Free State harbours are to play in future naval strategy." [which other source mentioned air facilities as subject UK never broached and/or implicitly out of scope?]
I suspect name "South Irish Flotilla" used only by Irish historians
"Coastal defence until 1938 was the responsibility of the ‘South Irish Flotilla’ of the Royal Navy. The SIF consisted of two ships, H.M.S. Tenedos and H.M.S. Thracian. Under the terms of the Treaty* Britain retained mooring rights in three Irish ports"
archive.org "on 11 July 1938... the British withdrew from the Treaty ports, and with them went HMS Acasta, the last unit of the South Irish Flotilla, which from the main base at Plymouth, had been regular visitors to the buoys retained for them at Cork Harbour, Berehaven and Lough Swilly."
The Naval Forces of the Irish State, 1922-1977 "Although there is a surplus of British writers detailing the exploits of the Royal Navy, few detail the existence of the South Irish Flotilla operating from the Treaty Ports in the inter-war period. Indeed, Stephen's Roskill's Naval policy between the wars makes no mention of their activities."

1885–1914 "Active servicemen were always free to vote or stand for parliament themselves.[n58—Officers elected as MPs were placed on half-pay and often expected to retire. No man from the other ranks is known to have stood for parliament during this period.

Ed Gaz 1910-01-14 no.12212 p56 "Any officer seeking a seat in the House of Commons shall resign his office so soon as he issues his address to the electors, or in any other manner publicly announces himself as a candidate."—means civil service officer, not military officer. 1927 order applied to civil and military "Crown Servants", revoked 1910 provision which only applied to civil Servants, did not revoked any other provision, which might have applied to military servants; ergo no pre-1927 order applied to military servants. Does not imply no military regulation applied, but any such was not based on an order in Council.
[2nd report of 27 Jun 1963 p.56–57] "3. In 1924 a Committee was appointed under the Chairmanship of Lord Blanesbourgh to enquire into the existing regulations governing candidature for Parliament; the Committee recommended that the ( then ) existing ban on Parliamentary Candidature , without resignation , should be maintained for the whole of the non - industrial Civil Service ( Cmd . 2408 ) . They further recommended that industrial employees in the Service departments ( who like all industrial civil servants had hitherto been treated on more or less the same lines as non- industrials in the matter of Parliamentary Candidature ) should be free to stand as Parliamentary candidates without resigning . The Committee was divided on the question whether the latter freedom should be extended to industrials employed in other departments . The Government adopted those recommendations of the Blanesbourgh Committee which are unanimous and to give effect to them the Servants of the Crown ( Parliamentary Candidature ) Order 1927 ... 4. ... June 1949 Cmd . 7718. It recommended that the existing rules forbidding civil servants to stand for Parliament until after resignation should be retained in the case of all grades above a line of demarcation drawn above industrials and minor and manipulative grades."—so 1925/7 change was to restrict non industrials in armed services, 1949 change was to derestrict industrials [and others] in civil service.

Hansard "The incapacity, if any, arises under Section 24 of the Succession to the Crown Act, 1707. That Section applies to new offices, that is to say, offices created in 1705. The present statutory position is a little complicated, and the Bill is in quite general terms. For example, officers in the Royal Air Force are taken care of by Section 4 of the Royal Air Force Act, 1917. Officers of the Territorial and Reserve Forces are provided for by Sections 33 and 36 of the Territorial and Reserve Forces Act. The reason for a Bill of this kind arises in regard to the acceptance by Members of the House of membership in His Majesty's Forces under active service conditions. It is a possible view that, in spite of the development of these forces, all positions in them are old offices, because there were an Army and a Navy in 1905 [sic; ?recte 1705?]. This Bill will remove any doubt"
s24 1707 reads "AND be it further enacted by the Authority aforesaid That no Person who shall have in his own Name or in the Name of any Person or Persons in Trust for him or for his Benefit any new Office or Place of Profit whatsoever under the Crown which at any Time since the Five and twentieth Day of October in the Year of our Lord One thousand seven hundred and five have been created or erected or hereafter shall be created or erected nor any Person who shall be Commissioner or Sub - Commissioner of Prizes Secretary or Receiver of the Prizes nor any Comptroller of the Accompts of the Army nor any Commissioner of Transports nor any Commissioner of the sick and wounded nor any Agent for any Regiment nor any Commissioner for any Wine Licences nor any Governor ( or ' ] Deputy Governor of any of the Plantations nor any Commissioners of the Navy imployed in any of the Out Ports nor any Person having any Pension from the Crown during Pleasure shall be capable of being elected or of sitting or voting as a Member of the House of Commons in any Parliament which shall be hereafter summoned and holden"
1941 PMQ "An Army officer or soldier or a woman in the military service of the Crown who wishes to become a parliamentary candidate is required first to obtain the permission of the Army Council through the normal channels. This is in order that prospective candidates may be prevented from unintentionally infringing the requirements of the Servants of the Crown (Parliamentary Candidature) Order, 1927. No differentiation is made between officers and other ranks, and no application submitted in this way has been refused."
HC 2R "Clause 1 (4). This Clause embodies the recommendation of the Select Committee, expressed in paragraph 4 of its Report, that the Bill should not adopt what it called the reverse method of disqualification, that is to say, the provision, common in a large number of Acts of Parliament, disqualifying Members of this House from holding certain offices instead of disqualifying the holders of those offices from membership of this House. ..[I]f the ... reverse disqualification, were effected .... by listing the offices concerned, ...

Members of the regular Armed Forces of the Crown are disqualified from membership of the House of Commons (House of Commons Disqualification Act 1975) and from election to the European Parliament (European Parliamentary Act 1978). Such SP must therefore apply for permission to retire voluntarily or resign or be granted a free discharge from the Service before their formal adoption as a Parliamentary candidate or prospective candidate. Such SP must complete their last day of Service before formal adoption as a candidate or prospective candidate.
J5.585. No regular SP or member of the Reserve Forces when serving on a full time Service commitment or additional duties commitment shall issue an address to electors or in any other manner publicly announce themselves or allow themselves to be publicly announced as a candidate or a prospective candidate for election to:
a. UK Parliament, European Parliament, Scottish Parliament or Parliament of the Irish Republic for an parliamentary constituency;
b. the Northern Ireland Assembly or the National Assembly for Wales for any assembly constituency;
c. any legislative assembly of the Commonwealth, or as a
d. Police and Crime Commissioner.
J5.586. Any SP to whom para J5.585 applies and who desires to stand as a candidate or who seeks election as in para J5.585 must make an application through normal Service channels to retire voluntarily or to resign or to be granted a free discharge. Such an application should be made as early as possible. Approval of an application will depend on the exigencies of the Service. On leaving the Service, an unsuccessful candidate will have no right to reinstatement. A candidate or prospective candidate must take all steps within their power to ensure that no public announcement of their candidature is made before they have retired, resigned or been discharged.
Select Committee on parliamentary elections
1962-63 HC sessional papers vol. 7 "Select Committee on parliamentary elections"
most witnesses on 15 Jan, and hence most if not all documents submitted before then
p.x sec.30
Your Committee consider that the choice before the House lies between three of the solutions which they have examined , namely: -
(i) a return to the arrangements introduced on 18th December 1962;
(ii) the continuation of the current arrangements, based on the resolution of the House of 18th February 1963;
(iii) the introduction of a scheme for transfer to a reserve, of the kind outlined in this Report.
p8 q73 So that there was the 1944 arrangement which worked until 1950, then there was the 1950 arrangement which worked until 1962, and now there is this current one? —Yes.
p15
115. Do I understand that the only existing applications are about 65 to the Royal Air Force, about 40 to the Admiralty and about 12 to the War Office by serving personnel at present, to fight a Parliamentary By-election? —Yes.
116. Have they applied to fight a specific By-election? Have they named, for example, either Colne Valley or Rotherham? —Yes.
117. And were these applications made since the Secretary of State's announcement, or were they existing at the time when he made that announcement? —They were existing at that time.
118. And have any been received since that time? —The answer is none, broadly speaking.
119. I read in the newspapers – which I sometimes believe – that hundreds have arrived at Rotherham and at Colne Valley. You know nothing about that, I suppose? (Mr. Montgomery.) The applications you read about in the newspapers are applications to the Town Clerk or to the Returning Officer in those two places. They are expressing interest and asking for forms; but that is a different thing from a man putting in an application to his service for permission to be discharged for the purpose of fighting an election.
120. There is clearly a very substantial difference between the number of men who have written for forms and the number of men who have followed that up by applying to the appropriate department? —Yes.
Mr. Redhead. 121. Might it not be because of the Home Secretary's announcement? —Yes.
p25 (memo sec.7) — 'The latest [<Feb 6] total number of possible nominees for Rotherham is 497. But (a) this is an increase of only 14 on the figure announced on 21st December, 1962 (so there is no continuing "flood", but a modest trickle); and (b) on that date the Town Clerk of Rotherham, as reported in the Guardian next day, said that he was now getting a large number of letters from cranks and people who just want some nomination papers to show their friends in the local", and that Service applicants were fewer than half the total."
pp26-27 q206 [Chairman] Your Memorandum reached us just as we were finishing our first Report, and we hoped that you would not take it amiss that we did not mention it there, because we thought it would be more courteous to you to give you the opportunity of amplifying it and developing your arguments here. ...[Driberg] it was rather a long statement [18 Dec in HC] and was so skilfully drafted that I did not realise at the time that it meant that an immediate change in procedure was being introduced ... I have been a little disconcerted since then to learn from correspondence from constituents that some changes have already been introduced
p30 q223 mentions Army has suspended discharge by purchase "until May".
elsewhere in Rpt there is more discussion of changes to discharge policy in the early 60s unrelated to the election issue
p40 et seq, Ministry of Defence memo. Sec.3 says 112 applications received for "forthcoming by-elections"
An alternative approach is to say that applications by members of the Armed Forces to leave the Service in order to contest parliamentary elections would be treated in exactly the same way as applications to leave on any other non-compassionate ground. [...]
In the circumstances, the Government propose that we deal with this difficult problem as follows. For the immediate future we would adopt what I might call the administrative approach which I have outlined above. At the same time, we propose that a Select Committee of the House of Commons be appointed to study the whole problem
HL Deb 18 December 1962 "I will repeat a statement which is now being made in another place by my right honourable friend the Home Secretary"
We have put this to a Select Committee, both sides of the House, which has given it urgent consideration and has put a recommendation to us. My suggestion to the House is that we should accept and pass the Motion, but that we should do it—I am certain that all members of the Select Committee would accept this, too—on the understanding that this is a first and interim Report, that we are not satisfied and, indeed, we are not clear—let us be frank about it—in our own minds what the final solution should be, but we feel that a solution must be found more in consonance with the traditions of the House than the one that I recommend as a temporary measure to the House tonight.
Question put and agreed to.
Resolved, That it is expedient that an advisory Committee should be appointed by the Home Secretary to examine every application for release from the armed forces for the purpose of contesting a parliamentary election, and to report to the appropriate Service Minister, in each case, whether or not they are satisfied that it is a bona fide application.
Questions
was it a plot point in a sitcom episode eg The Army Game? IIRC an article in eg The Guardian says so
HL Deb 18 December 1962 vol 245 col 1042Herbert Morrison — "Bootsie and Snudge", who are not evidence, said it was in Queen's Regulations No. Something-or-the-other and that may have misled me; I will never take those two seriously again. Therefore I had thought that it could be done by an amendment of the Regulations.
did national service men apply or just regular forces? —Rpt2 qq83-5 mention national service
discharge by purchase was £250, electoral deposit was £150: cheaper but not massively so. (But Rpt2 q82, no auto right to buy out. Original wheeze was not allowed to buy out; later wheeze maybe also save cost of buying out.)
officers can resign commission; what was the difference between that and discharge for election? Maybe revisit assertion that auto-discharge originally applied (say in 19C) to gentleman officers; maybe rather it was to put enlisted ranks (say in 1920s) on equal footing with officers? OTOH maybe resigning commissions became non automatic (say in 1920s)
Rpt2 p15 q145 "If in fact in the Order in Council of 1950 you are returning to the situation as it was before the 1939 Act, then you are returning to a world which is in fact made for officers , because the other ranks were completely out of this"
were officers in fact disqualified prior to 1957 Act? What of "honourable and gallant members"? Maybe some were reserve officers.
Rpt discusses, last active service officer MP was in the late 40s?
Any Hansard discussion of Second Rpt of 27 Jun 1963?
Any change from decision of HC 18 February 1963? Well the vetting committee was appointed a few days later.
Eastern rites and churches

I think there were three or four thrones in Dublin Castle pre-1922:
A single throne in the Throne Room, plain red upholstery, with footstool, sword of state resting on arms, and two maces flanking; presumably used by LL in official executive functions (although Irish Privy Council chamber was a separate room; perhaps a fourth seat there for LL, though probably not call a throne).
Still on display in its old location in the Throne Room
A pair of thrones in St Patrick's Hall, with Royal Arms on back, I guess used by LL and Vicereine during social season
One repurposed in 1938 as inauguration chair for President; kept in St Patrick's Hall permanently but off in a corner since replacement in 2011 by new inauguration chair. Reupholstered in 2025 as seen on Nationwide.
The other repurposed in 1922 as Cathaoirleach's chair?
But IFS Senate clerk Donal O'Sullivan in 1966 clearly recalled that it was the Chief Secretary's chair from the Council chamber that became the Cathaoirleach's chair.[26]
But Dublin Civic Trust seems confident the Cathaoirleach's chair resembles the vicergal throne.Cathaoirleach's chair
It's just possible the same chair did double duty? Perhaps, even, the LL and CS chairs in PC chamber were only brought to St Patrick's Hall when the viceregal court was in session? But that seems impractical pennypinching.
Alternatively, there was a job lot of three or four identical chairs; two in Patrick's Hall and one or two in PC chambers
But Examiner report of 1922 handover "The Viceroy stood at first at the fireplace at the northern end of the apartment … the seats on the right-hand side of the Lord Lieutenant’s Chair … were occupied by Mr. Michael Collins and two of his colleagues"
Presidents pew at St Patrick's Cathedral maybe one of those two is actually in St Patrick's cathedral? Yes, President's pew at St Patrick's Cathedral is repurposed from the Royal pew
Lords
House of Lords had separate throne (for king?) and chair of state (for LL)?
JHL 1761 state opening: "His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, making a congé to the throne, ascended the same, and seated himself in the chair of state under the canopy"
"In the House of Lords, the Lord Lieutenant’s throne outshone that of the king at Westminster, and the Speaker’s chair was more magnificent than either." ulsterhistoricalfoundation—I think "Speaker" means of the Commons
File:Parlement D'Irlande.png— image of Lords in 1704 with LL on Throne, one chair either side, right occupied, left empty.
Bankers Magazine Sept 1871 p232 "The Parliament House is now the Bank of Ireland. The chandelier of the House of Commons hangs in the examination hall of Trinity College, Dublin. The chair of the Speaker of the House of Lords is possessed by the Royal Irish Academy, and that of the Speaker of the Commons is in the board room of the Royal Dublin Society, formerly the dining-room of Leinster House. The Right Hon. John Foster, the Speaker, declined to surrender his mace to the government, saying, that until the body that intrusted it to his keeping demanded it, he would preserve it for them. It is now in the possession of his descendant, Lord Massarene"
donsdublin.wordpress "In the grand Meeting Room [of the RIA] you can find chandeliers and benches from the Irish House of Lords"
20yo text needs total revamp. "one of three symbols of the Presidency" pfff
Gazette 1685 [Clarendon arrived "Dunlari", proceeded to Castle] "His Excellency went immediately to the Council Chamber, where the Lords Justices and the Lords of the Privy Council received him wich all the demonstrations of Honour and Respect imaginable. His Excellency havirg presented His Majesties Letter to thc Lords Justices, and his Commission being read, took the Oaths of Allegiance and Supremacy; After which, the Sword of State was delivered to his Excellency by both the Lords Justices, and his Excellency took his Seat in the Chair of State."
1782 Portland replaced Grafton, who was to injured to go from Lodge to Castle to hand over: "Upon his Lordship's Arrival at the Lodge in the Park, he was introduced in Form to the Duke of Portland, who received him sitting in a Chair of State. After a short Conference, a Procession was made to the Chamber in which the Council were assembled, where his Lordship's Commission was read, and the Oaths administered to him; after which, Lord Temple having received the Sword from his Grace the Duke of Portland, the Great Guns in the Park were fired, and answered by the Regiments on Duty. His Excellency then returned to the Castle"
1851 chapter of order in Castle: "The Knights Companions, in their Mantles and Collars only, and the Officers of the Order in their Mantles, Ribands, and Badges, assembled in the Entrée Room of Dublin Castle. At two o'clock the Knights were called over by Ulster, and, preceded by the Officers of the Order, proceeded to the Chapter Room, where His Excellency the Grand Master was seated in the Chair of State, and the Knights Companions took their places at the table according to their respective Stalls."
1855 ditto "At Twelve o'Clock the Knights were called over by Ulster, and proceeded to the presence of the Grand Master, who was seated in the Chair of State in the Presence Chamber, and the Knights Companions took their respective seats at the table according to their Stalls"
1859 ditto "At three o'clock P.M. the Knights Companions were called over by Ulster, and proceeded to the presence of the Grand Master, who was seated in the Chair of State in the Throne Room, and they with their usual reverences, took their respective seats at the table, according to their stalls."
1864 ditto "At Three o'Clock P.M., the Knights Companions were called over, and proceeded to the presence of the Grand Master, who was seated in the Chair of State in the Throne Boom, and, with the usual reverences, took their respective seats at the table, according to their Stalls. The Roll of Knights was then called over by Ulster King of Arms. ... By command of the Grand Master, the two Junior Knights present proceeded to the door of the Chapter Room, and conducted Lord Lurgan between them to the right of the Chair of State, Ulster bearing the Ensigns of the Order before them on a velvet cushion, whereupon the Declaration appointed by the Statutes was read by the Prelate to Lord Lurgan, who thereupon subscribed the said Declaration, which was placed by the Secretary in the Register of the Order."—so Chapter Room is another name for Presence Chamber/Throne Room when a chapter of the Order is being held there.
p40: "On their arrival in the Great Ball Room the different persons who composed the procession proceeded to the places assigned them, and his Excellency being covered and seated in the chair of state, the King at Arms presented to him his Majesty's letter, which his Excellency delivered to the Right Honorable John Hely Hutchinson, Secretary of State, who read the same aloud, during which time his Excellency and the Assembly remained standing and uncovered. His Excellency being again seated, Ulster presented to him the blue ribband and badge of Grand Master, with which his Excellency invested himself. His Excellency then signified his Majesty's pleasure, that the Great Ball Room should be stilled the Hall of St. Patrick," [... follows the investiture of the officers and then the knights]
p44: "A procession was then made from St. Patrick's Hall to the Prefence Chamber, where the Lord Lieutenant received the compliments of the Knights of the Order, and of a numerous assembly of nobility and gentry, who testified their satisfaction in this distinguished mark of the royal favor to this kingdom."
I think it was recently reupholstered, as shown on Nationwide... yes RTE 2025/1105:
part of a pair made for Britain's Queen Victoria and Albert when they first visited Ireland in 1849. The throne was a centre-piece for royal visits to the castle when it was the seat of British rule in Ireland. Mr Derham described the throne's adaptation for Douglas Hyde's inauguration in 1938: The royal crown was taken off the top and the monogram VR was removed, and it had an embroidered harp placed on the back of it. Now 87 years since it was used in the first presidential inauguration and in need of a major overhaul, the former throne was regilded in Belfast and then reupholstered at the OPW Furniture Division in Kilmainham. On its return to Dublin Castle, the 1938 chair coverings, embroidered with shamrocks and the State harp, were carefully reattached by textile conservator Karen Horton.
If the Viceregal thrones were a pair, what happened to the second one? Per DCT it's for the Cathaoirleach of the Seanad (I guess that reflects the Free State Seanad). In fact we should talk about the thrones plural, since who knows whether the Viceroy always used the same one of the two, and if so, whether it's the Seanad one or the Castle one.
Where was non-Seanad one from 1922 to 1938? And indeed Seanad one from 1936 to 1938?
As distinct from replacement presidential inauguration chair per thejournal Per DCT 2011 was "Year of Craft"; marking 40 years of the Irish Craft Council per rte 2011;
Lords Justices of Ireland says "A newly arrived Lord Lieutenant would be escorted in state from Dunleary (later Kingstown) harbour to the Presence Chamber of Dublin Castle, where the Lords Justices were seated. The party would proceed to the Council Chamber, where the Lord Lieutenant would present his letters patent to the Privy Council, and another letter to the Lords Justices demanding the handover of the sword of state."
Maybe discuss both 2011 and earlier in one article? But not if two viceregal thrones.
See the Wood from the Trees By Marion McGarry, Dermot O'Donovan 2018 ISBN9781912465026 — maybe timber from trees in Aras garden felled by storm in 2013/4?
Where do the two Pres chairs live? Tweet suggest throne still in Dublin Castle but in a corner, not in St Patrick's Hall. Maybe 2011 chair is there, maybe in Aras except on inauguration. More likely Castle.

irishartsreview of same "Despite the removal, by various means, of royal statues, it is remarkable that the throne is in place today, particularly as a decision had to be taken to reinstate it following the room’s temporary use as a court of law and a significant reconstruction and reordering in the 1950s and 1960s."
1833 Spectator p 918 "The Marquis WELLESLEY had arrived at Kingston harbour two days before, and proceeded to Dublin on Thursday. Several gentlemen went out on horseback to meet him; and the carriages of Lords ANGLESEA, MEATH, the Duke of LEINSTER, and others, formed part of the procession. There was no demonstration of popular feeling either favourable or adverse during his journey, till he entered the Castle-yard, when there was a single cheer. He was regularly installed Lord-Lieutenant, in the presence-chamber; and took his seat on the Viceregal throne, surrounded by Staff and Household."

Dublin Castle in the life of the Irish nation p147 "The throne which graces [the Throne Room] is said to have been cut down to accommodate Queen Victoria, a very small woman, on her first visit to Ireland at the time of the Famine. It dates from the seventeenth century and was presented to the Castle by William III when he seized the throne of England."
1852 reminiscences of 1825 at Theatre Royal, Dublin marchioness Wellesley entering theatre with husband: 'In grace, in beauty, and in dignity, she might have challenged competition with the proudest of England's coronetted matrons, and filled the viceregal chair beside her noble consort as if she had been "native and to the manner born."'—maybe a pair of thrones existed prior to those created for Victoria's visit, but more likely these chairs were specific to Theatre Royal.
Dublin Castle 1889 p15 "The Presence Chamber is over the colonnade, and was formerly the Yeoman's Hall. The throne and canopy are covered with crimson velvet, richly ornamented with gold lace. ... St. Patrick's Hall, used for the installation of the Knights of the Order of St. Patrick, is also a ball room"
sword of state rested on throne niches and taken to London Dec 1922
sword used at 1921 Parliament of Northern Ireland inauguration; what thrones are in the picture of that under LL and Vicereine? New bespoke NI ones or Dublin ones brought up for the occasion?

"In 1759 the Duke of Bedford, a quiet, easy-going man, was frightened out of his wits by a mob which forced its way into the Castle and established an old woman smoking a clay pipe on the viceregal throne."

The Hall had been previously prepared by erecting a platform at the upper end, and a gallery for the musicians at the lower end. The platform was erected 2 feet 6 inches from the floor and railed in. At the back in the middle, under a canopy of green damask, and upon a semicircular step raised six inches above the level of the platform, was placed a chair for the Chancellor, on the right hand a chair for the Vice-Chancellor, and on the left another for the Provost. From these chairs on each side along the back and sides down to the rails were raised seats and forms, and on the right side, advanced before those seats, were placed two chairs of state for the Lord Lieutenant and his Lady. Over the door of the Hall, and eight feet above the floor, was erected the gallery for the musicians, and along the sides of the Hall, between the platform and gallery, were seats raised and forms placed, leaving a passage in the midst seven feet wide. On the right side, next to the platform, part of the seats were enclosed as a box for the reception of such ladies of quality whom the Chancellor should invite. The platform with its steps, the gallery and the seats, were covered with green broadcloth. The passage through the midst of the Hall was covered with carpeting, and the semicircular step under his Grace’s chair ornamented with a rich carpet."

[P.J. RUTLEDGE] Mr. Meredith ... Republican Judge ... under what authority this gentleman recently acted in Waterford ... In conjunction, I presume, with the High Sheriff—probably the British High Sheriff—or by some other method, a Grand Jury was called
[E.J. DUGGAN] There is no machinery available under the Dáil Courts for providing juries, and I think what very probably happened is this: the local sheriff, regarding himself as an officer of the Provisional Government, acted on an order which he got from some official of the Dáil, and got the jury. ... they had the right, while acting as judges of the Dáil Courts, to practise in the British Courts ... I am sorry to learn that my friend, Deputy McEntee, got a communication from the Dáil Office on Provisional Government paper. It was a typist's error
[Mr. BLYTHE] I move to delete Sub-section 5. This Sub-section was put in for the purpose of making it quite clear that the elections of Lord Mayors, Mayors, Chairmen and Vice-Chairmen would take place in January as usual and would not be postponed, as it is not intended that the election should take place. The clause has no longer any purpose in remaining in the Bill. ... There are practically no other statutory duties. There is the nomination for High Sheriffs, but that will not affect this. Then there is only the elections of committees, and so on.
[Kevin Christopher O'Higgins] One matter lying outside the general question of courts' staffs is the position of high sheriff and under-sheriff. In an Act passed in 1920, the Sheriffs (Ireland) Act, the power of the high sheriff was reduced to two simple duties. He had the duty of summoning grand juries and the duty of attending in a ceremonial way on the High Court Judge when going on Assize. That was the position prior to the passing of our Courts of Justice Act. Since the passing of our Act the duty of the high sheriff is to summon a grand jury which does not exist and to wait upon a judge who does not go out on Assize. There is, in fact, no duty attaching to the office now. Since the passing of the Courts of Justice Act it has simply been an empty title without any single duty attaching to it. Deputies, therefore, will not rise up in revolt at the proposal to abolish the office of high sheriff.
[Mr. HEWAT] Are there no statutory obligations imposed on the sheriff?
[Mr. O'HIGGINS] None on the high sheriff. He has no duties or powers. He has simply a title and we beg leave to withdraw it. With regard to the under-sheriff, the position, of course, is different, and the proposal in the Bill is very different.
[Mr. HAUGHTON] "To delete the section and to substitute therefor a new section as follows:— "50.—No appointment shall be made to the office of high sheriff after the passing of this Act: provided that the tenure of any existing high sheriff shall in no case be affected." That amendment covers two High Sheriffs who have been more prominently before the public than any other gentlemen holding these distinguished positions. They undertook the office of High Sheriff at a time when considerable trouble and danger existed. Thank goodness things are very different now, a state of affairs which has been largely brought about, we all recognise, by the admirable administration of the present Government. The duties of the sheriffs have been very onerous and have caused no expense whatever to the country. They have been quite an acquisition, I believe, to the metropolis and to the South of Ireland. It is very generally admitted that the Commissioners are functioning admirably both in Dublin and in Cork, courteously, efficiently, and in a progressive spirit.
[Mr. O'HIGGINS] He talked at some length about the position of Commissioners for Cork and Dublin. I want to say all that has no bearing on the matter whatever. ... Since the Court of Justice Act the duties of a High Sheriff are nil. ... The Senator is anxious that the title should remain to the present holder in Cork, and, in an incidental kind of way, in Dublin. There is absolutely no point or sense in that. Why should we go out of our way in legislation to cater for what may be the very harmless vanity of an individual and say, "as long as you live you will be High Sheriff of Cork with no duties and no responsibilities"?
Mauvais quart[s] d'heure[s]
Plural is quarts d'heure but Naumann has quart d'heures.
"Mr. Wagner a de beaux moments, mais de mauvais quart d'heures!"
but it was a conversation, not a letter, in April 1867 in Paris:[33]
Ich hatte das Glück, unseren Meister im April 1867 ... in Paris kennen zu lernen; ein, bei meinem ersten Besuche, mit ihm geführtes Gespräch war zu charakteriſtiſch für denselben, um der Versuchung zu widerstehen es Ihnen hier mitzutheilen."
I had the good fortune to meet our master in Paris in April 1867; a conversation I had with him during my first visit was so characteristic of him that I cannot resist the temptation to share it with you here.
Their introduction was effected by a letter from Pauline Viardot Garcia. Their conversation was apparently not in French after the beginning:[34]
Nach den ersten, in französischer Sprache erfolgten Begrüßungen fund nachdem Rossini sich nach Frau Viardot-Garcia erkundigt, die mich durch ein freundliches Schreiben bei ihm eingeführt hatte
After the initial greetings in French and after Rossini had inquired about Mrs. Viardot-Garcia, who had introduced me to him in a friendly letter
but that bon mot is in French in Naumann's original:[35]
“O!” rief Rossini aus, “in dieser Beziehung bin ich ganz Ihrer Meinung und Niemandist entferner davon, die Origianlität des Schöpfers des Lohengrin anzuzweifeln, als ich; nur daß es uns der Componist mitunter recht schwer macht, das Schöne, was wir ihm verdanken, in dem Chaos von Tönen, das seine Opern enthalten, aufzufinden. Sie werden es selbst schon erfahren haben: Mr. Wagner a de beaux moments, mais de mauvais quart d’heures! Dennoch bin ich seiner bisherigen Laufbahn mit gespanntem Interesse gefolgt.”
"Oh!" exclaimed Rossini, "in this respect I am entirely of your opinion, and no one is further from doubting the originality of the creator of Lohengrin than I am; it is just that the composer sometimes makes it quite difficult for us to find the beauty we owe him in the chaos of sounds contained in his operas. You will have heard it yourself already: Mr. Wagner has his beautiful moments, but also his bad quarters of an hour! Nevertheless, I have followed his career to date with keen interest."
When Rossini says to Naumann, Sie werden es selbst schon erfahren haben ["You will have heard it yourself already" or "You will have experienced this yourself"], what does "erfahren" mean?
noticed while listening to Wagner's music?
been told the quip while discussing Wagner with French speakers?
In isolation, erfahren more likely translates as "experience" [which suggests reading #1] rather than "hear" [which is compatible with both readings #1 and #2]; but the context increases the plausibility of "hear", and perhaps something was lost in translation.
Dictionaries
In summary, quart d'heure used figuratively is synonymous with moment. Preceded with words meaning "good" or "bad", either may refer to a person's mood or to an event one is experiencing at a given instant. Thus bons et mauvais moments and bons et mauvais quarts d'heure each means "ups and downs" (either a person's moodiness or life's vicissitudes). The jocular alteration bons moments et mauvais quarts d'heure implies that the downs last longer than the ups.

Le sort de la femme sur la terre n'est pas toujours des plus heureux; et bien qu'en ait dit nous ne savons plus quel monsieur, que Paris était l'enfer des chevaux et le paradis des femmes, il n'est pas bien certain que la grisette ait jamais rencontré dans la capitale toutes les joies du paradis. Elle peut quelquefois avoir de bons moments, mais aussi que de tristes quarts d'heure! s'il nous est permis de nous exprimer ainsi.
Or ce n’est point cynisme chez lui; il n’a point une mauvaise figure cet homme, ce n’est point un de ces monstres de maris, un de ces tigres de maris, un de ces Barbes-bleues de maris toujours prêts à étrangler une femme; il a de bons moments mais aussi de mauvais quarts d’heure, et surtout je vous l’ai dit, il a un système, et bonnes ou mauvaises, favorables ou fâcheuses pour lui, il en déduit et en adopte les conséquences.
Napoléon, comme tous les grands hommes, avait ses bons et ses mauvais quarts d'heure. On connaît la présence d'esprit de ce jeune lieutenant sorti de l'école militaire de Saint-Cyr, que l'empereur remercia du titre de capitaine parce que, son chapeau étant tombé, celui-ci s'était empressé de le lui présenter. Napoléon était alors dans un de ses bons moments. Le voici maintenant dans un de ses mauvais quarts d'heure.
Indépendamment des contes de fées, nous avons encore les Mille et une Nuits qui ne manquent ni de charme, ni d’intérêt. Là, généralement, il ne s’agit plus de fées, mais de génies qui n’ont pas de plus grand plaisir que de tourmenter les pauvres humains; pour tant ces mêmes génies, s’ils ont de mauvais quarts d’heure, ont quelquefois de bons moments, pendant lesquels ils rachètent leurs méfaits par de nobles actions... ce qui est plus moral....

I begin to suspect that, although Ledru-Rollin is the greater ruffian, Lamartine is the more dangerous politician of the two. He, unfortunately, has his bons momens, which the other never has had, and these, bright and dazzling, have blinded the eyes of the public to too many of his mauvais quarts d'heure.
Or, quand on a épuisé le dictionnaire, assez borné du reste, des succès et des insuccès, quand on a exagéré les vieilles expressions, et qu'en s'est évertué à en inventer de nouvelles; quand on a répété sur tous les tons que l'on a applaudi à tout rompre, que la salle paraissait crouler, qu'il y a eu des salves, des explosions, des tonnerres d'applaudissements, qu'il y a eu des interruptions de bravos prolongés, des trépignements, des cris d'enthousiasme, que sais-je encore! ou, pour mettre un peu d'ombre sur cet éclatant tableau, quand on a dit que tel ou telle autre artiste, malgré son zèle, malgré son bon vouloir, malgré tout ce qui peut servir de palliatif, d'excuse, ou de prétexte, n'a pas été aussi heureux que les autres soirs dans tel ou tel autre rôle, qu'il y a à regretter ceci, qu'il est pénible de devoir remarquer cela, qu'il faut tenir compte du beau passé de cette cantatrice qui, malheureusement, n'a plus que ce passé, bien passé; que ce ténor n'était pas dans son beau jour, et qu'il faut l'entendre dans ses moments heureux, sauf à subir, pendant cinq mois sur six, ses mauvais quarts d'heure; quand on a tourné et retourné cela en tous sens, on en est quitte pour s'être répété vingt fois, et avoir ennuyé quarante autre fois son lecteur. En effet, une voix, quand elle est belle, ne s'arrange que d'un certain nombre d'épithètes extrêmement restreint; mettons une douzaine; et après? il faut recommencer.

La jalousie des hommes n'est pas discutable, puisque la raison déserte tout cerveau amoureux; il faut laisser cuver la folie de l'amour comme celle de l'ivresse, c'est le plus sage. J'ai entendu un mari, spirituel dans sa lucidité, dire à sa compagne, à laquelle il rendait la vie insupportable: «Pardonne-moi, je t'estime et je t'aime, mais ma jalousie est une infirmité morale; essaye de me guérir, j'ai de si bons moments! Mais de si mauvais quarts d'heure!» répondait sa victime désolée.
Par ailleurs, nous avons retrouvé les créateurs des divers personnages de l'œuvre, si ce n'est Montjauze, s'ef forçant, lui aussi, de s'incarner le type de Faust, précédemment chanté par MM. Barbot et Michot. Mais ce rôle de grand caractère ne demanderait rien moins qu'un Adolphe Nourrit. Bien des ténors y échoueront: Montjauze a eu de mauvais quarts d'heure, mais aussi de bons moments, notamment la scène du jardin et la chanson à boire. Il faut donc lui savoir gré de ce suprême effort.

Mais tu sais bien que, pour les véritables artistes, une femme n'est qu'un modèle, et que les vrais chasseurs ne mangent jamais leur gibier! Et cependant, si elle m'a donné de bons moments, je dois avouer que cette science si enivrante m'a procuré aussi de vilains quarts d'heure. D'abord, pour arriver à la conviction, ça m'a souvent coûté très cher.

In certain forests there were various parks, as in Duffield Frith, and Needwood, and Sherwood; and in most, at least one or two; but many parks were held throughout the country by subjects under Crown licence, altogether apart from forests. Forest law prevailed in parks within a forest, but not in those outside such limits. An Elizabethan estimate, of doubtful value, states that the old royal forests were sixty-nine in number, and that there were in addition thirteen chases and more than seven hundred parks."

I felt that it was fortunate for me that I had Goudar, who introduced me to all the most famous courtezans in London, above all to the illustrious Kitty Fisher, who was just beginning to be fashionable. He also introduced me to a girl of sixteen, a veritable prodigy of beauty, who served at the bar of a tavern at which we took a bottle of strong beer. She was an Irishwoman and a Catholic, and was named Sarah. I should have liked to get possession of her, but Goudar had views of his own on the subject, and carried her off in the course of the next year. He ended by marrying her, and she was the Sara Goudar who shone at Naples, Florence, Venice, and elsewhere. We shall hear of her in four or five years, still with her husband. Goudar had conceived the plan of making her take the place of Dubarry, mistress of Louis XV., but a lettre de cachet compelled him to try elsewhere. Ah! happy days of lettres de cachet, you have gone never to return!

This famous rout had a house at Pausilippo, and his wife was none other than the pretty Irish girl Sara, formerly a drawer in a London tavern. The reader has been already introduced to her. Goudar knew I had met her, so he told me who she was, inviting us all to dine with him the next day.
Sara shewed no surprise nor confusion at the sight of me, but I was petrified. She was dressed with the utmost elegance, received company admirably, spoke Italian with perfect correctness, talked sensibly, and was exquisitely beautiful; I was stupefied; the metamorphosis was so great.
In a quarter of an hour five or six ladies of the highest rank arrived, with ten or twelve dukes, princes, and marquises, to say nothing of a host of distinguished strangers.
The table was laid for thirty, but before dinner Madame Goudar seated herself at the piano, and sang a few airs with the voice of a siren, and with a confidence that did not astonish the other guests as they knew her, but which astonished me extremely, for her singing was really admirable.
Goudar had worked this miracle. He had been educating her to be his wife for six or seven years.
After marrying her he had taken her to Paris, Vienna, Venice, Florence, Rome, etc., everywhere seeking fortune, but in vain. Finally he had come to Naples, where he had brought his wife into the fashion of obliging her to renounce in public the errors of the Anglican heresy. She had been received into the Catholic Church under the auspices of the Queen of Naples. The amusing part in all this was that Sara, being an Irishwoman, had been born a Catholic, and had never ceased to be one.
All the nobility, even to the Court, went to see Sara, while she went nowhere, for no one invited her. This kind of thing is a characteristic of nobility all the world over.
Goudar told me all these particulars, and confessed that he only made his living by gaming.
As chance would have it, Madame Goudar occupied the box next to ours, and Hamilton amused the duchess by telling the story of the handsome Irishwoman, but her grace did not seem desirous of making Sara’s acquaintance.
“I can’t prevent your interpreting my words as you please, but I have a right to my own opinion. I want my two hundred ounces, and I am quite willing to leave you any moneys you propose to make out of the conqueror of to-night. You must make your arrangements with M. Goudar, and by noon to-morrow, you, M. Goudar, will bring me that sum.”
“I can’t remit you the money till the count gives it me, for I haven’t got any money.”
“I am sure you will have some money by twelve o’clock to-morrow morning. Goodnight.”
I would not listen to any of their swindling arguments, and went home without the slightest doubt that they were trying to cheat me. I resolved to wash my hands of the whole gang as soon as I had got my money back by fair means or foul.
At nine the next morning I received a note from Medini, begging me to call on him and settle the matter. I replied that he must make his arrangements with Goudar, and I begged to be excused calling on him.
In the course of an hour he paid me a visit, and exerted all his eloquence to persuade me to take a bill for two hundred ounces, payable in a week. I gave him a sharp refusal, saying that my business was with Goudar and Goudar only, and that unless I received the money by noon I should proceed to extremities. Medini raised his voice, and told me that my language was offensive; and forthwith I took up a pistol and placed it against his cheek, ordering him to leave the room. He turned pale, and went away without a word.
At noon I went to Goudar’s without my sword, but with two good pistols in my pocket. Medini was there, and began by reproaching me with attempting to assassinate him in my own house.
I took no notice of this, but told Goudar to give me my two hundred ounces.
Goudar asked Medini to give him the money.
There would undoubtedly have been a quarrel, if I had not been prudent enough to leave the room, threatening Goudar with ruin if he did not send on the money directly.
Just as I was leaving the house, the fair Sara put her head out of the window, and begged me to come up by the back stairs and speak to her.
I begged to be excused, so she said she would come down, and in a moment she stood beside me.
“You are in the right about your money,” she said, “but just at present my husband has not got any; you really must wait two or three days, I will guarantee the payment.”
“I am really sorry,” I replied, “not to be able to oblige such a charming woman, but the only thing that will pacify me is my money, and till I have had it, you will see me no more in your house, against which I declare war.”
Thereupon she drew from her finger a diamond ring, worth at least four hundred ounces, and begged me to accept it as a pledge.
I took it, and left her after making my bow. She was doubtless astonished at my behaviour, for in her state of deshabille she could not have counted on my displaying such firmness.
I was very well satisfied with my victory, and went to dine with the advocate, Agatha’s husband. I told him the story, begging him to find someone who would give me two hundred ounces on the ring.
“I will do it myself,” said he; and he gave me an acknowledgment and two hundred ounces on the spot. He then wrote in my name a letter to Goudar, informing him that he was the depositary of the ring.
...
A servant came in and said M. Goudar would like to have a little private conversation with the advocate.
The advocate came back in a quarter of an hour, and informed me that Goudar had given him the two hundred ounces, and that he had returned him the ring.
“Then that’s all settled, and I am very glad of it. I have certainly made an eternal enemy of him, but that doesn’t trouble me much.”
Vol. 6 Ep. 28 Ch.14, Naples
I had an unexpected visit from Goudar, who knew the kind of company I kept, and wanted me to ask his wife and himself to dinner to meet the two Saxons and my English friends.
I promised to oblige him on the understanding that there was to be no play at my house, as I did not want to be involved in any unpleasantness. He was perfectly satisfied with this arrangement, as he felt sure his wife would attract them to his house, where, as he said, one could play without being afraid of anything.
Two or three days after I gave a dinner to my English friends, the two Saxons, Bartoldi their governor, and Goudar and his wife.
We were all ready, and only waiting for M. and Madame Goudar, when I saw the fair Irishwoman come in with Count Medini. This piece of insolence made all the blood in my body rush to my head. However, I restrained myself till Goudar came in, and then I gave him a piece of my mind. It had been agreed that his wife should come with him. The rascally fellow prevaricated, and tried hard to induce me to believe that Medini had not plotted the breaking of the bank, but his eloquence was in vain.
Our dinner was a most agreeable one, and Sara cut a brilliant figure, for she possessed every pleasing quality that can make a woman attractive. In good truth, this tavern girl would have filled a throne with any queen; but Fortune is blind.
When the dinner was over, M. de Buturlin, a distinguished Russian, and a great lover of pretty women, paid me a visit. He had been attracted by the sweet voice of the fair Sara, who was singing a Neapolitan air to the guitar. I shone only with a borrowed light, but I was far from being offended. Buturlin fell in love with Sara on the spot, and a few months after I left he got her for five hundred Louis, which Goudar required to carry out the order he had received, namely, to leave Naples in three days.
This stroke came from the queen, who found out that the king met Madame Goudar secretly at Procida. She found her royal husband laughing heartily at a letter which he would not shew her.
The queen’s curiosity was excited, and at last the king gave in, and her majesty read the following:
“Ti aspettero nel medesimo luogo, ed alla stessa ora, coll’ impazienza medesima che ha una vacca che desidera l’avicinamento del toro.”
“Chi infamia!” cried the queen, and her majesty gave the cow’s husband to understand that in three days he would have to leave Naples, and look for bulls in other countries.
If these events had not taken place, M. de Buturlin would not have made so good a bargain.
After my dinner, Goudar asked all the company to sup with him the next evening. The repast was a magnificent one, but when Medini sat down at the end of a long table behind a heap of gold and a pack of cards, no punters came forward. Madame Goudar tried in vain to make the gentlemen take a hand. The Englishmen and the Saxons said politely that they should be delighted to play if she or I would take the bank, but they feared the count’s extraordinary fortune.
Thereupon Goudar had the impudence to ask me to deal for a fourth share.
“I will not deal under a half share,” I replied, “though I have no confidence in my luck.”
Goudar spoke to Medini, who got up, took away his share, and left me the place.
I had only two hundred ounces in my purse. I placed them beside Goudar’s two hundred, and in two hours my bank was broken, and I went to console myself with my Callimena.
Morosini was much taken with Sara’s charms, and only thought of how he could possess her. He was still a young man, full of romantic notions, and she would have become odious in his eyes if he could have guessed that she would have to be bought with a heavy price.
He told me several times that if a woman proposed payment for her favours, his disgust would expel his love in a moment. As he said, and rightly, he was as good a man as Madame Goudar was a woman.
This was distinctly a good point in his character; no woman who gave her favours in exchange for presents received could hope to dupe him. Sara’s maxims were diametrically opposed to his; she looked on her love as a bill of exchange.
A couple of days afterwards Morosini invited Sara, Goudar, two young gamesters, and Medini, to dinner. The latter had not yet given up hopes of cheating the chevalier in one way or another.
Towards the end of dinner it happened that Medini differed in opinion from me, and expressed his views in such a peremptory manner that I remarked that a gentleman would be rather more choice in his expressions.
[they go out and fight a duel]
He was losing a good deal of blood, so I sheathed his sword for him and advised him to go to Goudar’s house, which was close at hand, and have his wound attended to.
I went back to “Crocielles” as if nothing had happened. The chevalier [Morosini] was making love to Sara, and the rest were playing cards.

Under the direction of John Rickman, the bills of mortality area and the "five villages beyond the Bills" consisting of the parishes of Chelsea, Kensington, Marylebone, Paddington and St Pancras[10] were designated the "Metropolis" in the 1801 to 1831 censuses

"the word suburb can no longer be applied with its usual signification to the vast extent of uninterrupted town which forms the metropolis of the British empire"
The Municipal Borough of Southwark, a dependency rather than a part of the Municipal City of London, contains considerably more than half of the population and number of houses which are in the proposed Parliamentary Borough as above. A great part of the latter certainly cannot be considered as Town.
earlier authors also call Southwark a dependency
It was unquestionably intended by the charter of Edward VI. that the Borough of Southwark should be incorporated for all municipal purposes with the City of London. This intention has never been fully carried into effect; and the privileges of citizens of London, and in particular the right of electing Aldermen and Common Councilmen, have not been possessed by the inhabitants of Southwark, except for a few years soon after the Charter was granted.

Contradiction
Currently there is a disconnect between the first and second lines:
Use "Ireland" for the state except where the island of Ireland or Northern Ireland is being discussed in the same context. In such circumstances use "Republic of Ireland" (e.g. "Strabane is at the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland").
An exception is where the state forms a major component of the topic (e.g. on articles relating to states, politics or governance) where "Ireland" should be preferred and the island should be referred to as the "island of Ireland" or similar (e.g. "Ireland is a state in Europe occupying most of the island of Ireland").
Line #1 says use "Ireland" for the state by default; line #2 says use "Ireland" for the state only in exceptional cases.
Minor tweak
I would like to change
"Ireland" should not normally be linked. If it is thought necessary to link, in order to establish context or for any other reason, the name of the state must be pipelinked as [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]].
to
"Ireland" (state or island) should not normally be linked. If it is thought necessary to link, in order to establish context or for any other reason, "Ireland" (the state) must be pipelinked as [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]]
It seems clear to me that there are two orthogonal minority cases: (1) where "Republic of Ireland" is to used instead of "Ireland" and (2) where the label is to be linked instead of left unlinked. If a case is at the intersection and meets BOTH (1) AND (2) then it should be linked as [[Republic of Ireland]].
Lacuna
There is the separate question regarding "island of Ireland"
is this the preferred formulation
in the minority of cases with link, is it island of [[Ireland]] or [[Ireland|island of Ireland]]
