Death of Mr. E. T. Lefroy
We deeply regret to announce that _yesterday Mr. Edward Thomas Lefroy died at his residence, 33 Abbey-street, in this city, of congestion of the lungs. The illness to which _Mr. Lefroy succumbed was so brief in its duration that some friends will _hear for the first time at once of his attack and of its deplorable close. In many circles and by many devoted friends the news that a career so bright and promising has closed at the early age of thirty-sis will cause the most heartfelt and profound sorrow, but by none will tho death of Edward Lefroy be mourned for as keenly as by his old friends and comrades of the newspaper Press. Devoting himself to the journalism profession at a very early age, Mr. Lefroy joined tho literary staff of the "Freeman" going ten years ago; and was up to a few months since one of the principal contributors to our leading literary, and critical columns. He brought to his profession great gifts—varied culture, true critical insight, a brilliant style—and no more accomplished newspaper man has ever appeared in Dublin journalism. Last year the long connection between this journal and Mr. Lefroy was terminated by an event which promised moat favourably for his future—his appointment to the very important post of Manager of the Queen's Printing Office in Ireland. Determining to devote himself entirely to his new duties, Mr. Lefroy, to the deep regret alike of the proprietor of this journal and his old colleagues withdrew himself from the "Freeman" staff. Brief, unhappily, was his career in his new avocation, and in the midst of the labours of a busy and successful life Death has struck him down. The tidings of his death caused yesterday throughout the city a sensation surprising in tho casa of a private individual, but explicable trom the fact that his generous, loyal, and manly nature had made for "Ned Lefroy" hosts of attached friends. Lot us add, that if the voice of universal sympathy could pierce through the agonised woo of bereavement, some consolation would be borne to the home where the widow and little children mourn for the most loving and fondest of husbands and fathers.

# Freedom on the Wallaby

* information about this edition.
* sister projects: Wikipedia article, Wikidata item.
Henry Lawson's well known poem, Freedom on the Wallaby, was written as a comment on the 1891 Australian shearers' strike and published by William Lane in the Worker in Brisbane, May 16, 1891.
Australia's a big country An' Freedom's humping bluey, An' Freedom's on the wallaby Oh! don't you hear 'er cooey? She's just begun to boomerang, She'll knock the tyrants silly, She's goin' to light another fire And boil another billy.
Our fathers toiled for bitter bread While loafers thrived beside 'em, But food to eat and clothes to wear, Their native land denied 'em. An' so they left their native land In spite of their devotion, An' so they came, or if they stole, Were sent across the ocean.
Then Freedom couldn't stand the glare O' Royalty's regalia, She left the loafers where they were, An' came out to Australia. But now across the mighty main The chains have come ter bind her – She little thought to see again The wrongs she left behind her.
Our parents toil'd to make a home – Hard grubbin 'twas an' clearin' – They wasn't crowded much with lords When they was pioneering. But now that we have made the land A garden full of promise, Old Greed must crook 'is dirty hand And come ter take it from us.
So we must fly a rebel flag, As others did before us, And we must sing a rebel song And join in rebel chorus.
We'll make the tyrants feel the sting O' those that they would throttle; They needn't say the fault is ours
If blood should stain the wattle!

# Final Report of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol/Chapter 8/Section 8.8

Layout 2
​8.8 THE EVACUATION
When rioters surrounded the perimeter of the Capitol, and reached the Senate and House Chambers, Members were forced to evacuate for safety. USCP officers responded to both Chambers and served as escorts. By the time the Capitol was breached, the Senate and House had split from the joint session, with Senators returning to their Chamber to debate the objection to Arizona's electoral vote. The House remained in its Chamber to debate the objection.
Starting in the Senate, Vice President Pence was escorted off the floor at 2:12 p.m. and was taken to his Senate office. Between 2:12 p.m. and 2:25

location connected to the Capitol. The Vice President arrived at the secure location at 2:29 p.m. Following the Vice President’s evacuation, Senators were evacuated at 2:30 p.m.
On the House side, Speaker Pelosi, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, and House Majority Whip James Clyburn were removed from the House floor at the same time as Vice President Pence. By 2:18 p.m., USCP surveillance showed Speaker Pelosi in the basement hallway headed towards the garage. The surveillance footage also showed Leader Hoyer and Whip Clyburn in the same basement as Speaker Pelosi. At 2:23 p.m., Speaker Pelosi and Whip Clyburn were moved to an undisclosed location.
Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy was evacuated just after Speaker Pelosi left the Capitol. At 2:25 p.m., as rioters were moving through the Crypt and breaking through the east Rotunda door, Leader McCarthy and his staff hurriedly evacuated his office. At approximately 2:38 p.m., the Members of Congress on the House floor began their evacuation. Members of Congress can be seen evacuating through the Speaker’s Lobby when a USCP officer fatally shot Ashli Babbitt at 2:44 p.m. Members and staffers were just feet away when Babbitt attempted to climb through a shattered glass door. USCP officers had barricaded the door with furniture to prevent the rioters from gaining direct access to elected officials.
​The congressional Members in the House Gallery were evacuated after the Members on the House floor. Congressional Members in the Gallery had to wait to be evacuated because rioters were still roaming the hallways right outside the Chamber. At 2:49 p.m., as Members were trying to evacuate the House Gallery, the USCP emergency response team cleared the hallways with long rifles so that the Members could be escorted to safety. USCP surveillance footage shows several rioters lying on the ground, with long rifles pointed at them, as Members evacuate in the background.309 By 3:00 p.m., the area had been cleared and Members were evacuated from the House gallery to a secure location.
# Final Report of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol/Foreword: Speaker

"THE LAST BEST HOPE OF EARTH"
"I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God."
All Members of the United States Congress take this sacred oath. On January 6, 2021, Democrats and Republicans agreed that we would fulfill this oath—and that we had an obligation to signal to the world that American Democracy would prevail.
In furtherance of fulfilling this duty, the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol was charged with investigating the facts, circumstances and causes that led to this domestic terror attack on the Capitol, the Congress and the Constitution.
We owe a debt of gratitude to Chairman Bennie Thompson, Vice Chair Liz Cheney, the patriotic Members of Congress and dedicated staff—who devoted themselves to this investigation, to uncovering the truth and to writing a report that is a "Roadmap for Justice."
The Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack has succeeded in bringing clarity and demonstrating with painstaking detail the fragility of our Democracy. Above all, the work of the Select Committee underscores that our democratic institutions are only as strong as the commitment of those who are entrusted with their care.
As the Select Committee concludes its work, their words must be a clarion call to all Americans: to vigilantly guard our Democracy and to give our vote only to those dutiful in their defense of our Constitution.
Let us always honor our oath to, as Abraham Lincoln said, "nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth." So help us God.

# Hamblin v. Western Land Company

United States Supreme Court
147 U.S. 531
Hamblin v. Western Land Company
Petition by the Western Land Company against Howard M. Hamblin in the district court of O'Brien county, Iowa, to recover possession of certain land. Judgment for plaintiff. Defendant appealed to the supreme court of Iowa, which affirmed the judgment. 44 N. W. Rep. 807. Defendant brings error. Affirmed.
Statement by Mr. Justice BREWER:
This case is submitted on a motion to dismiss or affirm. The facts are these: Defendant in error, the Western Land Company, on August 24, 1887, filed its petition in the district court of O'Brien county, Iowa, to recover from the defendant, Hamblin, now plaintiff in error, the possession of the N. E. 1/4 of section 1, township 95 N., range 41 W., fifth P. M. Defendant appeared and answered. A trial was had, and on April 23, 1888, judgment was rendered in favor of the plaintiff, the Western Land Company, for the possession of the property. From this judgment Hamblin appealed to the supreme court of the state, which on February 10, 1890, affirmed the judgment of the district court. Thereupon Hamblin sued out a writ of error from this court.
The land company's record title consisted of a patent from the United States to the state of Iowa, dated June 17, 1873, conveying the land to the state for the use and benefit of the Sioux City & St. Paul Railroad Company; a decree of the circuit court of the United States for the southern district of Iowa, of May 18, 1882, (Chicago, M. & St. P. Ry. Co. v. Sioux City & St. P. R. Co., 10 Fed. Rep. 435,) modified on May 21, 1886, in pursuance of a mandate from this court, (Sioux City & St. P. R. Co. v. Chicago, M. & St. P. Ry. Co., 117 U.S. 406, 6 Sup. Ct. Rep. 790,) by which the title of this land was adjudged held by the state in trust for the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad Company; a patent from the state of Iowa to the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad Company, of date September 27, 1886; and a warranty deed from the latter company to the Western Land Company, of date May 26, 1886.
Hamblin's claim to the land rests upon the fact that in February, 1884, nearly 11 years after the issue of the patent, he took possession and made application to enter it under the homestead laws of the United States. This application apparently failed, and he made a second application in September, 1885. The built a house upon the land, and made other improvements, and has resided on it since March, 1884. It does not appear that the land department ever recognized any right in him to enter the land; so that his only claim is based upon the fact of occupation, made, as he says, with a view to entering it as a homestead.
Wm. L. Joy, for plaintiff in error.
John S. Monk, for defendant in error.
Mr. Justice BREWER, after stating the facts in the foregoing language, delivered the opinion of the court.

# Hambro v. Casey/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
110 U.S. 216
Hambro v. Casey
The controlling facts in this case are as follows: C. J. Hambro & Son, a banking firm in London, England, were the correspondents of the New Orleans National Banking Association, a national bank in New Orleans. The bank kept a running account with the firm, drawing upon them from time to time as occasion required, and remitting bills to cover its drafts. In the course of its business the bank became the owner of certain bills drawn by a New Orleans firm on their correspondents in France, amounting in the aggregate to 440,000 francs, or $93,121 in United States currency. These bills were indorsed by the bank, and remitted to Hambro & Son for collection and credit, but before they matured the bank and the drawers and drawees all failed. The failure of the bank occurred on the 4th of October, 1873, and, on a statement of accounts a few days after, the bank was found in debt to Hambro & Son for the sum of $89,798.30. The bills which had been remitted were protested at maturity at an expense of $1,356, which was paid by Hambro & Son. This item was not included in the balance shown by the account stated. Under the laws of Louisiana, the damages upon protest of foreign bills of exchange is 10 per cent. on the principal sum specified in the bills. Suit was brought against the receiver of the bank, to recover the charges for protest, and the 10 per cent. damages. Judgment was given against the receiver for the expenses of protest, but in his favor on the claim for damages. This writ of error was sued out by Hambro & Son to reverse that judgment so far as it was in favor of the receiver. In our opinion the judgment was clearly right. The protested bills are the property of the bank, subject, in the hands of Hambro & Son, to their lien as bankers, for the security of the balance due them on general account. All moneys collected by Hambro & Son on the bills, whether it be for principal, interest, or damages, must be passed as soon as collected to the credit of the bank. Hambro & Son are the holders of the bills, but in no legal sense the owners, though it may be their lien is for more than can be collected from the drawers or drawees. Clearly the law does not require the bank to pay the damages, when the payment, if made, must be passed to its own credit on the books of its collecting agents. That would be the operative effect of such a judgment as is now asked for.
Judgment affirmed.

# Hamavdil

* related portals: Holidays.
* sister projects: Wikidata item.
It is customary to sing hymns at the close of the Havdalah ceremony to mark the end of the Sabbath. From the words it is clear that it belongs to the end of Yom Kippur (Ne'ilah) and was moved to the end of the Sabbath later. It is also an acrostic poem carrying the name of the author "Yitzhak Ha-katan" or "Isaac the Younger" ; several scholars identify him with Isaac b. Judah ibn Ghayyat of Spain (1030-1089).
Hebrew (chorus refrain only):
Hamavdil ben kodesh l'hol, hatoteinu hu yimhol; zareinu v'chaspenu yarbeh kahol v'chakochavim balaila.
English translation:
The English translation goes something like:
He who makes a distinction between the holy and the every-day
May he nullify our sins.
May he multiply our offspring and our wealth like the sand and like the stars in the night.
The day has passed like the shadow of a Palm tree. I call out to God, over me complete the watchman says "Morning comes and also night".
Your righteousness is like Mt Tabor May you pass over my failings Like yesterday which is gone And like a Watch in the night
The time of the afternoon prayer has past Who will give me rest? I have wearied with my sighing; I shall pray every night
Listen to my voice, cast it not aside Open up to me the lofty gate For my head is drenched with dew and my locks with the raindrops of the night
...there are four further verses in the version in the Jewish prayer book.
The song exists in Sephardi and Ashklenasi Jewish traditions, There are also versions in Yiddish and Ladino as well and many different tunes.

No. 88-6120
On petition for writ of certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied.
Memorandum of Justice STEVENS respecting the denial of the petition for writ of certiorari.
There are times when it is important to emphasize the fact that an order denying a petition for a writ of certiorari is not a ruling on the merits of any question presented by the petition. See Singleton v. Commissioner, 439 U.S. 940, 942, 99 S.Ct. 335, 337, 58 L.Ed.2d 335 (1978) (STEVENS, J., respecting the denial of certiorari). In my opinion, this is such an occasion.

Argued: and Submitted April 25, 1928. --- Decided: May 14, 1928
Under Trading with the Enemy Act, § 2(a), 50 USCA Appendix, § 2(a), Comp. St. § 3115 1/2 aa, property of domestic corporations, seized during war with Germany cannot be treated as owned by enemy, so as to preclude recovery of compensation from United States for use thereof, because their entire capital stock belonged to German corporation.
Congress, having power to direct forfeiture of all property beneficially owned by enemy subjects during war, could provide for seizure thereof, followed by such compensation as President might determine, as was done by Trading with the Enemy Act (50 USCA Appendix; Comp. St. § 3115 1/2 a et seq.).
In action for value of tug boats, launch, etc., taken by United States from enemy owned domestic corporations under Trading with the Enemy Act (50 USCA Appendix; Comp.

United States is liable for value of barges belonging to enemy owned domestic corporations, if title thereto was actually taken under Trading with the Enemy Act (50 USCA Appendix; Comp. St. § 3115 1/2 a et seq.), and should pay for any use thereof before acquisition of title.
