# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Bulteel, Henry Bellenden

​BULTEEL, HENRY BELLENDEN (1800–1866), theological controversialist, son of Thomas Bulteel of Plymstock, Devonshire, was born at Bellevue, near Plymouth, in 1800, and matriculated at Brasenose College, Oxford, on 1 April 1818, when in his eighteenth year. He graduated B.A. in 1822, and took his M.A. in 1824, having been elected a fellow of Exeter College on 30 June in the previous year. He vacated his fellowship by marrying, on 6 Oct. 1829, Eleanor, sister of Alderman C. J. Sadler, pastrycook, of the High Street, Oxford. Bulteel became curate of St. Ebbe’s, Oxford, in 1826. The chief event of his life and the cause of a complete change in his ewlesiastical standing was ‘A Sermon on 1 Corinthians ii. 12, preached before the University of Oxford at St. Mary’s on Sunday, 6 Feb. 1831.’ This discourse on predestination, free will, justification, and salvation, with much plain speaking about the state of the universities an the church of England, created a great excitement in Oxford; it was printed, and so great was the demand for copies that it went to six editions. Many replies and comments on the sermon issued from the press. In consequence of this sermon and on account of Bulteel's preaching in the open air and in dissenting chapels, the Bishop of Oxford revoked his license on 10 Aug. 1831, when his connection with the church of England terminated. Some of his friends, having collected money, built for him a chapel situated at the rear of Pembroke College, where he conducted a service on the principles advocated by the Plymouth Brethren, his followers being known as Bulteelers. In the succeeding year, having visited London and attended the Rev. Edward Irving’s chapel, he became a convert to some of his ideas, and soon after brought out a book, entitled ‘The Doctrine of the Miraculous Interference of Jesus on behalf of Believers, addressed to the Church of God at Oxford,’ 1832, in which he narrated how, by means of prayer and intercession, he had cured and restored to health three women. At this time he also became a believer in the doctrine of universal redemption, and a denier of the doctrine that Christ died for the elect only. This fact appears in a volume called ‘The Unknown Tongues, or the Rev. Edward Irving and the Rev. Nicholas Armstrong. To which are added Two Letters by the Rev. H. B. Bulteel,’ 1832. In 1844 he printed ‘An Address delivered on the opening of a Free Episcopal Church in Exeter, 26 Sept. 1844,’ and in the following year he issued an anonymous denunciation of the Puseyite party, and of John Henry Newman in particular, in the shape of a well-written poem, entitled ‘The Oxford Argo, by an Oxford Divine, London, R. Sicklemore,’ 1845, which, however, it appears, was printed at Newcastle. Bulteel died at the Crescent, Plymouth, on 28 Dec. 1866, aged 66, leaving issue by the marriage previously mentioned.

1904 Errata appended.
​CHICHELEY, Sir THOMAS (1618–1694), master-general of the ordnance, sixth in direct descent from Henry Chicheley, who took up his residence at Wimple or Wimpole in Cambridgeshire, was eighth in descent from William Chichele, sheriff of London, a younger brother of Henry Chichele [q. v.], archbishop of Canterbury and founder of All Souls College, Oxford. The family was one of the wealthiest in Cambridgeshire, and many of its members served the office of high sheriff, while Wimple was one of the finest seats in the eastern counties. Thomas Chicheley was high sheriff in 1637, and was elected M.P. for Cambridgeshire in 1640 to the Long parliament, but as a zealous royalist who fought for the king he was disabled from sitting in 1642. He was severely punished as a malignant in the time of the Commonwealth, and had to compound for his estate of Wimple by a heavy payment. After the Restoration he was, however, restored to favour, and was elected M.P. for Cambridgeshire again in 1661, when he showed himself once more to be a faithful royalist. He was further made one of the commissioners for administering the office of master-general of the ordnance, with John, lord Berkeley of Stratton, and Sir John Duncombe, in 1664. On 10 June 1670 he was knighted, sworn of the privy council and maae master-general of the ordnance, but resigned that post in 1674, when he was succeeded, by the king's special license, by his elder son. Sir John Chicheley, knight. According to Pepys (see esp. Diary, ed. Lord Braybrooke, iii. 398), Sir Thomas Chicheley lived in great style in Queen Street, Covent Garden, and it was probably owing to his extravagance that he was obliged to sell the old family estate of Wimple to Sir John Cutler in 1686. He sat again, however, in parliament for the borough of Cambridge in 1678, 1679, 1685, and 1689, and died in 1694, at the age of seventy-six.
[Stemmata Chicheleiana; Pepys's Diary; Lysons's Cambridgeshire. In Mrs. Green's Calendar of State Papers for the reign of Charles II there are many documents signed by Chicheley relating to his position at the ordnance office.]

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Chichester, Frederick Richard

​CHICHESTER, FREDERICK RICHARD, called by courtesy Earl of Belfast (1827–1853), author, was second son of George Hamilton Chichester, third marquis of Donegal, by his first wife, Lady Harriet Anne Butler, eldest daughter of Richard, first earl of Glengall. He was born 25 Nov. 1827, and educated at Eton. From boyhood he evinced a taste for literature, art, and music.
​The proceeds arising from his earliest musical compositions were devoted to the relief of the famine of 1846–7. He was president of the Classical Harmonists' Society established at Belfast in 1852. About 1861 he brought forward a scheme for the establishment of an Athenæum in Belfast. To the working men's association in the same town he delivered in the winter of 1852 a series of lectures on the 'Poets and Poetry of the Nineteenth Century.' His health was for some years declining, and he died at Naples 15 Feb. 1853, aged only twenty-six. He was the author of: 1. 'Two Generations, or Birth, Parentage, and Education,' 1851, 2 vols.; and 2. 'Poets and Poetry of the Nineteenth Century, a course of lectures,' 1852, both of which bore his own name. The following books are also ascribed to him: 3. 'Masters and Workmen, a Tale,' 1851, 3 vols. (by Lord B——'). 4. 'The Farce of Life,' 1852, 8 vols. 5. 'Wealth and Labour,' 1858, 3 vols. 6. 'The County Magistrate,' 1858, 8 vols. 7. 'Naples, Political, Social, and Religious,' 1856, 2 vols.; and 8. 'The Fate of Folly,' 1859, 8 vols, (all 'by Lord B******,' or 'the author of "Masters and Workmen"'). But the authorship of those numbered 3, 4, 5, and 6 has been questioned by his relatives. To the 'Northern Magazine' he contributed, under the signature of 'Campana,' two articles, 'A Spirit's Wanderings, a Tale,' December 1852,' p. 297–804, and 'Twelfth-day at Cannes,' February 1853, pp. 838–42.

​CHIBALD, WILLIAM (1575–1641), divine, a native of Surrey, entered Magdalen College, Oxford, as a chorister on 10 Oct. 1588. He proceeded B.A. (16 Feb. 1595–6) and M.A. (19 Feb. 1598–9), took holy orders, preached in London, and on 26 April 1604 was admitted rector of St. Nicholas Cole Abbey in Old Fish Street, London. He died on 25 Feb. 1640–1, and was buried in his church. His son James, born in 1612, matriculated as a chorister at Magdalen on 4 June 1624, proceeded B.A. on 10 Dec. 1630, succeeded his father in the rectory of St. Nicholas Cole Abbey, and ‘for his loyalty was sequestered in the late rebellion’ (Mercurius Rusticus, p. 256).
The elder Chibald was the author of: 1. ‘A Tryall of Faith by the Touchstone of the Gospel,’ London, 1622. 2. ‘A Cordial of Comfort to preserve the Heart from fainting with Grief or Fear for our friends or oure visitation by the Plague,’ together with ‘A humble Thanksgiving to Almighty God for His Staying of the Plague,' London, 1625. 3. ‘Sum of all (namely) God’s Service and Man’s Salvation, and Man’s Duty to God concerning Both, by way of Dialogue,’ London, 1630. 4. ‘An Apology for the Trial of Faith,’ London, 8vo, n.d. Chibald was also the author of many separate sermons. Wood says that ‘his edifying way of preaching’ was much admired.

​CHICHELEY, Sir JOHN (d. 1691), rear-admiral, a lineal descendant in the eleventh, generation of William Chicheley or Chichele, sheriff of London, younger brother of Henry, archbishop of Canterbury [q. v.], entered the navy after the Restoration, and in 1663 was appointed captain of the Milford. In 1665 he commanded the Antelope, one of the red squadron in the action off the Texel, 3 June (Penn, Life of Fenn, ii. 317), and was shortly afterwards knighted. In 1666 he commanded the Fairfax, also in the red squadron, in the four days' fight off the North Foreland (S. P. Dom. Charles II, clvii. 99). In 1668 he commanded the Rupert, in the Mediterranean, with Sir Thomas Allin [q. v.], and on Allin's returning to England in 1670, remained, commanding in the second post under Sir Edward Spragge, and with the local rank of vice-admiral. In 1671 the squadron was withdrawn from the Mediterranean, and on the breaking out of the Dutch war in 1672, Cliicheley was appointed to command the Royal Catherine of 70 guns. In the battle of Solebay, the ship, newly commissioned and with a crew wholly undisciplined, was boarded and taken; afterwards, however, her men rose, overpowered the prize crew, and recovered the ship. In the following year Chicheley was advanced to be rear-admiral of the red, and with his flag in the Royal Charles took part in the several indecisive actions with the Dutch. In 1674 he had his flag flying for a short time on board the Phoenix; and in 1675 he was appointed one of the commissioners of the navy, an office which he held till 1680. In 1679 he was also appointed one of the commissioners for executing the office of master-general of the ordnance, and on 4 July 1681 was appointed one of the lords commissioners of the admiralty. He continued at the admiralty till May 1684, and on 5 March 1688-9 was again appointed a member of the board, from which he retired 5 June 1690. He died in May 1691, leaving a son John. In 1694 an Isabella Chicheley was corresponding on friendly terms with Sir Richard Haddock, then comptroller of the navy (Eg. MS. 2521, ff. 77, 79). Whether this was Sir John's widow or not, there seem no means of determining.

​CHICHESTER, ARTHUR, first Earl of Donegal (1606–1675), governor of Carrickfergus, born on 16 June 1606, eldest son of Edward, viscount Chichester, by Anne, daughter of John Coplestone of Eggesford, Devonshire, received a captain's commission in the Irish army in 1627, which he still held in 1641. He sat as member for county Antrim in the parliament of 1639. On the outbreak of the rebellion of 1641 (23 Oct.), he displayed considerable energy in raising and arming troops at Carrickferffus, and marched at the head of three hundred men to Belfast, where his force was augmented by a hundred and fifty men from Antrim. On 27 Oct. he effected a junction with Lord Montgomery at Lisburne, and on 1 Nov. was appointed, jointly with Sir Arthur Tyringham, to the chief command in Antrim. In 1643 he was made governor of Carrickfergus. He refused to take the covenant prescribed by the parliament in the ensuing year, and published the proclamation against it directed by the lords justices. Accordingly he withdrew from Ulster. In recognition of his loyalty he was recommended by Ormonde for a peerage in 1645, and was created Earl of Donegal by patent of 30 March 1647. He was one of the hostages given by Ormonde for the performance of his part of the treaty of that year for the surrender of Dublin. He took his seat in the House of Lords on 25 June 1661. He was replaced in ​the command of Carrickfergus, where in 1666 his garrison mutinied, but were compelled to surrender at discretion by Lord Arran. In 1668 he established a mathematical lecture at Trinity College, Dublin. He died at Belfast on 18 March 1674–5, and was buried at Carrickfergus on 25 May following. He married thrice: first, Dorcas, daughter of John Hill of Honiley, Warwickshire; secondly. Mary, daughter of John Digbby, first earl of Bristol; thirdly, Letitia, daughter of Sir William Hicks of Rorkholt, Essex. He was succeeded in the title by his nephew.

After being for some years his brother's pupil and assistant, he became a member of the London College of Surgeons in 1845, and was in the same year appointed surgeon to the Homœopathic Hospital in Hanover Square. His mechanical aptitude led to his being very successful in treating spinal curvatures and deformities. In 1849 he published ‘Spinal Curvature, its Theory and Cure.’ He added a third part to Pulte's ‘Homœopathic Physician,’ brought out by his brother in 1852, on the ‘Treatment of Accidents;’ and published revised editions of W. Williamson's ‘Diseases of Infants and Children,’ and ‘Diseases of Women and their Homœopathic Treatment,’ in 1857. In 1859 he published a work, ‘On Deformities of the Spine and on Club Foot.’ He had a large practice to which he was much devoted, never sleeping out of his house for twenty years. In 1833 he married Miss Charlotte Bacon. He died on 28 May 1874.

​D'AGAR, JACQUES (1640–1716), painter, was born in 1640 in Paris, where he learned his art, but spent the greater part of his life in Copenhagen, where he was appointed court painter during the reigns of Christian V and Ferdinand IV. About 1700 he obtained permission to visit London, where he remained for some years, and obtained considerable employment from the noblemen and gentry of Queen Anne. He returned to Denmark, and died in Copenhagen in 1716. A portrait of him dated 1673 is in the picture gallery of Florence. A portrait-painter of this name much employed in portraiture during the reign of George I, a contemporary though much inferior in merit to Dahl, died in 1723, at the age of 54, and is supposed to be D'Agar's son.

​CÆSAR, Sir THOMAS (1561–1610), judge, second son of Dr. Cæsar Adelmare, of whom a brief account will be found in the life of Sir Julius Cæsar, was born at Great St. Helen's, Bishopsgate, in 1561, and was educated at the Merchant Taylors' School, which he left in 1578. He became a member of the Inner Temple in October 1580. His career at the bar was wholly undistinguished. Nevertheless, on 26 May 1610, he was created puisne or cursitor baron of the exchequer. He was knighted the ensuing month at Whitehall, and from an undated letter of his spiritual adviser, the Rev. D. Crashaw, relating the fact of his death and describing the ‘godly disposition’ in which he met it, endorsed by his brother Sir Julius with the date 18 July 1610, would seem to have died then or shortly before. The vacancy caused by his death was filled in the following October. He married thrice. His first wife died in 1590, leaving three children, who all died in infancy. His second wife was Anne, daughter of George Lynn of Southwick, Northamptonshire, and relict of Nicholas Beeston of Lincolnshire; she died without issue. By his third wife, Susan, daughter of Sir William Ryder, lord mayor of London in 1600, whom he married on 18 Jan. 1592–3, ​he had eight children, three sons and five daughters, who all survived him.

1904 Errata appended.
​CÆSAR, HENRY (1562?–1636), dean of Ely, fifth and youngest son of Cæsar Adelmare or Dalmariis, a well-known physician, and brother of Sir Julius Cæsar [q. v.], was born, according to his epitaph, in 1564, although other evidence gives the more probable date of 1562. He was educated at Balliol College, Oxford, ‘where to this day,’ says Wood, ‘certain lodgings are called from him Cæsar's lodgings,’ and afterwards became a member of St. Edmund Hall in the same university. While still very young, he spent some time at Cambridge, and, being suspected of popish leanings, fled beyond sea. On his return about 1583 he recanted his former errors, and became vicar of Lostwithiel in Cornwall; but in March 1584, Sir Walter Mildmay, whom he had personally affronted, directed proceedings to be taken against him on the ground of his renewed nonconformity. He was still subject to the same suspicion in 1589, when his brother, Sir Julius, entreated Lord Burghley to protect him from his assailants. A few years later all his enemies ​were silenced. On 6 Nov. 1595 he proceeded D.D. at Oxford; on 13 Sept. 1596 was presented by the queen to the rectory of St. Christopher, in the city of London, which he resigned in July 1597; became rector of Somersham, Huntingdonshire; and was appointed prebendary of Westminster in September 1609, and dean of Ely in October 1614. He resigned his prebend at Westminster in 1625. He died, according to his epitaph, on 27 June 1636, and was buried in Ely Cathedral, where an elaborate monument was erected to his memory. He left several bequests to the officers of the cathedral, and to friends and relations. His sole executor, Sir Charles [q. v.], son of his brother Sir Julius, was directed to apply within six months 2,000l. to the foundation of two fellowships and four scholarships (open to pupils from Ely school) in some college of his own choosing. Sir Charles chose Jesus College, Cambridge, which received annuities from the family till 1668, but never obtained the capital.

(Adopted at the 39th Meeting of the Standing Committee of the Thirteenth National People's Congress on February 24, 2023)
For the purpose of implementing the guiding principle of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on improving the Chinese system for law-based administration of military affairs, and providing a sound legal system to facilitate the people's armed forces to effectively fulfil their missions and duties in the new era and enhance their capabilities to fight and win, the Standing Committee of the Thirteenth National People's Congress at its 39th Meeting decides as follows:
Temporary adjustments may be made in wartime in the military to the application of certain provisions in the Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China based on the characteristics of criminal proceedings during such time on the prerequisites that the basic principles, systems and procedures laid down in the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China and the Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China are observed, the legitimate rights and interests of the parties are guaranteed, and justice is ensured. Said provisions include those governing jurisdiction, defense and representation, compulsory measures, case filing, investigation, public prosecution, trial, and enforcement of judgments and rulings. The specific measures shall be made by the Central Military Commission.
This Decision shall come into force on February 25, 2023.
