SAMUEL BUTCHER, Esq [Post-Captain of 1802.]
This officer served as a Midshipman under Earl Howe in the memorable battle of June 1st, 1794; and was soon after promoted to the rank of Lieutenant for his good conduct on that occasion. He subsequently distinguished himself by cutting an enemy’s ship out of a harbour in the West Indies, at noon day, although she was lashed to the shore, and protected by large batteries in every direction. For this and other services on the same station he was made a Commander, and appointed to the Guachapin of 16 guns, in which vessel he captured el Teresa, a Spanish letter of marque, mounting eighteen brass 32 and 12-pounders, with a complement of 120 men, after a smart action, on the 16th Aug. 1800. His post commission bears date April 29, 1802.
Captain Butcher commanded the Antelope of 50 guns, on the Baltic station, in 1813; and obtained great credit for his steady courage and unwearied exertions whilst lying aground in the West Scheldt, exposed to a heavy cross fire from the ​batteries of Flushing and Cadsand, on the 1st, 2d, and 3d Mar. 1814. In the ensuing summer he escorted a large fleet of transports and merchantmen to the coast of America, from whence he returned at the commencement of 1815.

EDWARD HARRIS BUTTERFIELD, Esq. [Commander.]
Second son of Captain William Butterfield, R.N., by his present wife, Elizabeth, eldest daughter of the late C. Harris, ​Esq., Deputy Auditor of the Impress, at the Royal Hospital, Chelsea.
This officer was born and educated at Chelsea. He entered the royal navy about Mar. 1821, as midshipman on board the Glasgow 50, Captain (now Sir Bentinck C.) Doyle, which ship was successively employed in conveying the remains of the late Queen Caroline from Harwich to Cuxhaven; Sir Edward Paget from Portsmouth to the East Indies; and the late Marquis of Hastings from Bengal to Gibraltar.
Mr. E. H. Butterfield obtained his first commission on the 5th Jan. 1830; and highly distinguished himself, as senior lieutenant of the Primrose sloop, Commander William Broughton, in boarding and carrying the Spanish ship Velo Passagero, from Wydah bound to Havannah, mounting 20 guns, with a crew consisting of about 155 men, and having on board 555 slaves. The particulars of this gallant affair will be given in our memoir of Captain W. Broughton.
Lieutenant Butterfield’ s next appointment was, April 16th, 1831, to the command of the Brisk, a brig peculiarly armed for the suppression of slavery. On the 7th Mar. 1832, being then only just eligible for promotion, a commission was signed by the Admiralty, advancing him to the rank of commander. He returned home from the African station, passenger on board the Southampton 52, flagship of Sir Edward W. C. R. Owen, Oct. 11th, 1832.

# Restoring Respect and Dignity to the U.S. House of Representatives

Restoring Respect and Dignity to the U.S. House of Representatives. HON. BETTY McCOLLUM. Congressional Record: September 15, 2009 (Extensions of Remarks) Page E2274. DOCID:cr15se09-43.
RESTORING RESPECT AND DIGNITY TO THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
 ______  
 Speech of
 HON. BETTY McCOLLUM
 of Minnesota
 in the House of Representatives
 Tuesday, September 15, 2009
 Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Speaker, last week, in this chamber, the House
hosted the Members of the U.S. Senate and the President of the United
States.  The President used that opportunity to address Congress and the
American people about this country's health care crisis.  During the speech a member of this body shouted a personal insult-- rude and disrespectful words--at the President of the United States
that violated the rules of decorum of this House and disgraced this
institution.  To insult the President of the United States--an invited guest in
this House--in such a manner brings shame on this body and all its
members.  Disrespect, incivility, and personal attacks have no place in the
People's House if we are to get the people's business done.  As a matter of honor, respect, and common decency the representative
of the people of South Carolina's 2nd District should stand in the well
of the House and apologize to his colleagues for his words and his
conduct.  Since the representative from South Carolina has refused to apologize
I urge all Members, Democrats and Republicans, to vote in favor of H.
Res. 744 and support restoring respect and dignity to the U.S. House of
Representatives.

# Royal Naval Biography/Kerr, Mark Robert

Layout 2
RIGHT HON. LORD MARK ROBERT KERR, Rear-Admiral of the Blue.
There are two very ancient families of the name of Kerr in Scotland, those of Lothian and Roxburghe; which, if they sprung from one common ancestor, separated too early to be traced up to the same stock; but who, in the reign of James VI. engaged in deadly feuds concerning the right to the Wardenry of the Middle Marshes. They were originally distinguished by the designations of Kerr of Fernyhirst, and Kerr of Cessford; the latter being ancestor to the present Duke of Roxburghe, and the former to the noble house of Lothian.
The subject of this sketch is the third son of William John, fifth Marquis of Lothian, K.T., a General in the army, and Colonel of the 11th regiment of dragoons, by Elizabeth, daughter of Chichester Fortescue, Esq., M.P. for the county of Louth, whose lady was the daughter of Richard, 1st Lord Momington, grandfather of his Grace the Duke of Wellington.
Lord Mark Robert Kerr was born Nov. 12, 1776; entered the naval service at an early age, and in 1792 was a Midshipman of the Lion, 64, in which ship it will be remembered Lord ​Macartney proceeded on his embassy to China, and returned from thence to England Sept. 6, 1794, after an absence of two years. The Lion was at that time commanded by the late Admiral Sir Erasmus Gower, Knt. We next find Lord Mark serving as a Lieutenant on board the Sans Pareil, of 80 guns, in the action off l’Orient, June 23, 1795; on which occasion, as already stated at p. 246, three French line-of-battle ships fell into the hands of the British. He afterwards commanded the Fortune sloop of war, mounting 12 guns, on the Mediterranean station, under the orders of Sir John Jervis, by whom he was promoted, Feb. 18, 1797, to be Captain of the San Ysidro, 74, one of the prizes taken four days before in the memorable battle off Cape St. Vincent. His Lordship’s subsequent appointments were, March 7, 1797, the day on which he was confirmed in his post rank, to the Danae; Oct. 17th following, to the Cormorant, of 20 guns; and on the renewal of hostilities in 1803, to the Fisgard frigate. The Cormorant formed part of the squadron under Commodore Duckworth, at the reduction of Minorca, in Nov. 1798; and on the 19th March in the following year, captured the Spanish brig of war El Vincelo, of 26 guns and 144 men. In the Fisgard Lord Mark cruised with considerable activity and success on the coasts of Spain and Portugal. He was advanced to the rank of Rear-Admiral July 19, 1821.
His Lordship married, July 18, 1799, Charlotte, youngest daughter of the last Marquis of Antrim, and sister of the present Countess.
Residence.– Holmwood, near Henley on Thames.
# Royal Naval Biography/Killwick, Edward

Layout 2
EDWARD KILLWICK, Esq. [Commander.]
Was made a lieutenant in 1782; and commanded the Sardine sloop, on the Mediterranean station, in 1796. From Mar. 1798 until the peace of Amiens, he held an appointment in the Suffolk district of Sea-Fencibles. In the years 1806 and 1807, he commanded the Howe store-ship, and was successively employed at the Cape of Good Hope and in South America. In the summer of 1809, we find him appointed to the Princess, receiving ship at Liverpool; and about a year afterwards, the following paragraph appeared in the Naval Chronicle:
“On Friday and Saturday, May 11th and 12th” (1810) “a court-martial was held on board the Salvador-del-Mundo, in Hamoaze, for the trial of Lieutenant William Archbold, late of the Princess; that officer having requested that he might have a public opportunity of vindicating his character from the odium thrown upon it by Captain Killwick. The Court, after having examined Captain Killwick and many of his officers, and duly considered their evidence, agreed, that the conduct of Lieutenant Archbold had been most officer-like and correct during the whole of the time he had served in the Princess, and did therefore most fully acquit him.”
In consequence, we believe, of this sentence, the Princess was immediately placed under the command of another officer, whose predecessor does not appear to have been again employed afloat. He, however, obtained the out-pension of Greenwich Hospital, in Dec. 1814. His son, Lieutenant John Arthur Killwick, R.N. had the honor of presenting an address to King George IV., from the borough of Southwold, at a levee held on the 23d Feb. 1821.
# Royal Naval Biography/King, Andrew

Layout 2
ANDREW KING, Esq. [Post-Captain of 1807.]
IsIs a brother to Captain Edward Durnford King, R.N., whose services we have already recorded.
This officer served as a midshipman on board the Bellerophon 74, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Pasley, in the actions of May 28 and 29, and the glorious battle of June 1, 1794; as senior Lieutenant of the Andromeda frigate, commanded by Captain Henry Inman, when that officer attempted to destroy a French squadron in Dunkirk harbour, July 7, 1799; as first of la Desirée, under the same commander, at the defeat of the Danish line of defence before Copenhagen, April 2, 1801 (on which occasion he was wounded); and as fourth Lieutenant of Nelson’s flag-ship, in the ever-memorable conflict with the combined fleets near ​Cape Trafalgar, Oct. 21, 1805. His promotion to the rank of Commander took place Jan. 22, 1806.
By reference to p. 239 of this volume, it will be seen that Captain King commanded the Hebe hired armed ship, and was several times warmly engaged with the enemy’s batteries and flotilla, during the siege of Copenhagen, in 1807. From thence he returned home in the Waldemaar, a Danish 80, the equipment of which ship was greatly expedited by his zealous exertions. His post commission bears date Oct. 13, 1807.
In the summer of 1808, Captain King was appointed, pro tempore, to the Venerable 74; and in her he assisted at the reduction of Flushing, Aug. 15, 1809. We subsequently find him commanding the Hannibal 74, bearing the flag of Sir Thomas Williams; Royal George a first rate. Rainbow of 26 guns, and Iphigenia frigate; the three latter on the Mediterranean station.
The Iphigenia formed part of Sir Josias Rowley’s squadron, at the capture of Genoa, in April, 1814; and was afterwards ordered to conduct a fleet of transports from Gibraltar to Bermuda. In Oct. 1815, we find her proceeding to the East Indies, from whence Captain King returned home in command of the Cornwallis 74. His last appointment was, Dec. 28, 1821, to the Active 46, in which frigate he continued until about Sept. 1824.
The subject of this sketch married. Mar. 5, 1821, Mary, eldest daughter of Charles Lewin, of St. Albans, co. Herts, Esq.

# Ryan v. Bindley

United States Supreme Court
68 U.S. 66
Ryan v. Bindley
THE Judiciary Act provides that final judgments and decrees in civil actions and suits in equity in a Circuit Court, when the matter in dispute exceeds the sum or value of two thousand dollars, exclusive of costs, may by re-examined and reversed or approved in the Supreme Court. With this law in force, Bindley had sued Ryan in assumpsit in the Circuit Court for the Southern District of Ohio, and laid his damages at one thousand dollars. Ryan, however, put in a plea, insisting that Ryan owed him four thousand dollars, which sum he claimed a right to set off against Bindley's demand, and to have judgment against Bindley for the excess: a sort of defence and judgment allowed by the laws of Ohio and the practice of the Circuit Court of the United States for its districts, which herein by rule of court had adopted the practice of the State tribunals. The verdict found $575.85 for the plaintiff.
In the course of the trial the defendant offered himself as a witness; not being competent of course by the general laws of evidence which prevail in the Federal courts, and indeed being, by rule of the Circuit Court where the case was tried, made, as a party, specifically incompetent, but claiming to be competent by virtue of the Ohio code of civil procedure; one section of which declares that 'No person shall be disqualified as a witness in any civil action or proceeding by reason of his interest in the event of the same, as a party or otherwise.'
The Circuit Court, holding to its own rule, rejected the witness; and on error here two questions were raised.
1. Did the sum involved exceed $2000 in such a sense as that the Supreme Court had jurisdiction?
2. Was the defendant in this suit rightly rejected as a witness?
Messrs. Lee and Fisher for the plaintiff in error.
Mr. Justice DAVIS delivered the opinion of the court:

# Ryan v. Bindley/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
68 U.S. 66
Ryan v. Bindley
1. The allegation in the declaration must be taken, generally, as fixing the amount or value for the purposes of jurisdiction. But the subsequent pleadings may so change the original character of the suit as to involve an amount or value in excess of two thousand dollars, and when this is done, the judgments and decrees of the court below are subject to be reviewed here.
In this case Ryan interposed a notice of set-off, and insisted that Bindley owed him four thousand dollars, for goods sold and money lent, which he claimed the right to set off against Bindley's demand, and to recover against Bindley a judgment for the excess. By the laws of Ohio such a defence is permitted, and if the defendant succeeds in proving his set-off, and it is larger than the plaintiff's claim, he is entitled to a judgment for the excess. The parties are concluded by the judgment, and cannot against litigate the same subject-matter, unless the judgment should be reversed, on appeal or writ of error to the Supreme Court. This law of set-off, or counter claim, and the practice under it, has been adopted as a rule of court, by the Circuit Court of the United States for the districts of Ohio. The plea in this case was therefore proper, and after it was interposed the matter in dispute rightfully exceeded the sum of two thousand dollars, exclusive of costs, and as the plaintiff had judgment, it is plain that the defendant had the right to sue out his writ of error.
2. A reversal of the judgment is claimed, because the Circuit Court refused to permit the defendant to testify as a witness. In Ohio a party to the suit is a competent witness on his own behalf. The rules of evidence prescribed by the laws of a State are rules of decision for the United States courts, while sitting within the limits of such State, under the 34th section of the Judiciary Act. The court having rejected the witness, when he was competent, the judgment below must be reversed, and a venire de novo awarded.
JUDGMENT ACCORDINGLY.
