# Chief Metropolitan Stipendiary Magistrate

The Chief Metropolitan Stipendiary Magistrate, known as Chief Metropolitan Police Magistrate until 1949, and also known as the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate and Chief Magistrate of the Police Courts of the Metropolis, was a senior British magistrate based in London. The most senior metropolitan stipendiary magistrate (full-time magistrates appointed for London and the surrounding counties), the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate had responsibilities for the administration of the London magistrates' courts as well as the appointment of metropolitan stipendiary magistrates. He also had special responsibilities in relation to extradition proceedings. The Chief Metropolitan Magistrate was based at Bow Street Magistrates' Court.
The position was abolished on 31 August 2000 by the Access to Justice Act 1999, which unified the stipendiary bench of England and Wales and renamed stipendiary magistrates to District Judge (Magistrates’ Courts). The position of Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, which had no equivalent outside of London, was replaced with that of Senior District Judge (Chief Magistrate), also known as Chief Magistrate, who has leadership responsibility for all District Judges (Magistrates’ Courts) in England and Wales.
The most famous Chief Metropolitan Magistrate was the novelist Henry Fielding, who founded the Bow Street Runners, London's first intermittently funded, full-time police force.

Rutoma was built as the private motorboat Manchonac in 1910 by the Seabury Company at Morris Heights, New York.

She was commissioned on 26 April 1917 as USS Rutoma(SP-78).
Rutoma patrolled in the 3rd Naval District during 1917 and 1918, operating in Long Island Sound and eastward to New Haven. Transferred to New York City at the end of the war, Rutoma was rammed and sunk on 21 February 1919 by the tug SS John L. Lewis in the East River off Pier No. 6 in New York City.
Rutoma was raised on 22 February 1919 by salvage crews from the salvage tug USS Resolute (SP-1309). She subsequently was sold on 16 September 1919 to Reinhard Hall of Brooklyn, New York, and returned to civilian use, remaining on mercantile registers into the 1930s.

# Edward Bramson

Edward John Michael Bramson (born March 1951) is the chief executive officer and principal at Sherborne & Company Incorporated, described as an "activist investor" and "corporate raider". Bramson launched his first private equity firm, Hillside Capital, in New York in 1977, and launched Sherborne Investors as a "turnaround investment firm" in 2003.
Bramson has developed a distinctive modus operandi. He "typically" buys a sizeable stake, demands a seat on the board, and then pushes "for cost-cuts, payouts to shareholders and other changes that boost returns". Bramson's funds are estimated to have generated average annual returns of 22.8% in recent years. Among the companies targeted by Sherborne have been Electra Private Equity, and fund manager F&C Asset Management.
On 19 March 2018 Sherborne Investment Management announced that it had acquired the voting rights to 5.16% of Barclays shares effectively making Sherborne the bank's fourth largest shareholder behind the Capital Group, the Qatar Investment Authority and Blackrock. Sherborne's investment came after Barclays had announced a string of losses in the previous year including a £1.9 billion net loss on Payment Protection Insurance settlements and a £2.5 billion write-off of its African Business. As of August 2020 Sherborne's stake in Barclays stood at 5.9%.
In April 2019, Sherborne Investors LP wrote to Barclays shareholders asking for their support in its request to vote Mr. Bramson onto Barclays PLC's board as a non-executive director. Central to this request was Sherborne's contention that Barclays' Corporate and Investment Bank ("CIB") under-performed peers producing a -29% total return while UK comparables returned +3% and other CIB peers returned +74%.
In May 2019, Barclays' shareholders voted against Bramson joining the board (only 12.8% of shareholders backed his proposal).
Bramson was born in Paddington, London to a British mother and American father and emigrated to New York in 1975.

# Leandro Ramón Garrido

Leandro Ramón Garrido, also known as Leandro Garrido (1868–1909) was an English–Spanish painter born in France. He was known for his Costumbrismo paintings, literary or pictorial interpretation of local everyday life.

## History

He was born 27 September 1868 in Bayonne, France, to an English mother, Elizabeth Allsop and a Spanish father, Fernando Garrido. Garrido spent his childhood in Paris and later Great Britain. He studied painting in Paris with Gustave-Claude-Etienne Courtois and Paul-Elie Delaunay.

# Edward Gabbett

Gabbett was born in County Dublin, and educated at Trinity College, Dublin. After a curacy at Kilmore he held incumbencies at Loughgall and Bruree. He was Treasurer of Limerick Cathedral from 1883 to 1891; Chancellor of Limerick from 1891 to 1904; and Archdeacon of Limerick from 1904 until his death.
# Edmund Elys

Edmund Elys (Ellis) (c. 1633 – 1708) was an English clergyman, poet and versatile writer. Considered eccentric, he encountered personal troubles before finally losing his living as a non-juror after the Glorious Revolution. He was connected both to Quakers and to leading academics such as Henry More and John Wallis.

## Life

He was born at Haccombe, Devon, the son of Edmund Elys, rector of East Allington, by his wife Ursula, daughter of John Carew of Haccombe. After receiving some preliminary instruction from William Hayter at Exeter, he entered Balliol College, Oxford, as a commoner in Lent term 1651, was admitted probationer fellow of that house 29 November 1655, having taken his B.A. degree on 16 October previously, and proceeded M.A. 11 June 1658. He resigned his fellowship 1 November 1659, in which year he succeeded his father in the rectory of East Allington.
He had written royalist poetry, and was taken prisoner by Major John Blackmore, a Parliamentarian soldier who had been in command of Exeter Castle and sat as MP for East Looe in Cornwall. Blackmore (on the later account of Elys) regarded him as a potential traitor.
In 1666 other 'prodigious afflictions fell on me', he later wrote. His living was under sequestration in 1677, and he found himself 'forced to abscond about London.' In 1680 he was confined in the King's Bench and other prisons. On the accession of William III, Elys, for refusing to take the oaths, was deprived of his rectory. He retired to Totnes.
During the reign of James II, Elys supported James's moves to extend religious toleration, arguing against anti-Catholicism. Although he does not appear ever to have joined them, he was a warm friend of the Quakers, whose principles he defended in numerous leaflets. He wrote against George Keith; his own views, as presented for example in a 1697 work, have been called "illuminationist". He defended innate ideas, against John Locke's Essay Concerning Human Understanding, in another work from 1697.

## Life

During the war, in 1769 Lebian led a malón against the region of Laja River and Los Ángeles taking cattle and destroying every estancia in their path. Spanish troops sent against him were defeated and forced to retire to Los Ángeles. Encouraged by the victory Lebian attacked fort Santa Bárbara two days later, although repulsed with some losses, they managed to set fire to the town and to take the cattle found in the area.
At the end of the war he was part of the delegation sent to Santiago to make peace in 1774. The same year he was also involved in a feud against the toqui Ayllapagui.

As he was returning to his country, a band of Spaniards ambushed and killed him. One of the suspects was a captain Dionisio Contreras, but nothing was proved against him. It was rumored that O'Higgins had arranged the death as part of a policy of eliminating by such means hostile or strong Mapuche leaders in preference to open warfare, but O'Higgins denied responsibility for the ambush, persecuted the assassins and hanged one of them.
