MAYSON WRIGHT, Esq. [Commander.]
Was made a lieutenant on the 1st of May, 1794 ; and appears to have been almost constantly employed, in the ​command of various small vessels, from the year 1798 until the conclusion of the late war. On the 2d of Mar. 1801, being then in the Cobourg hired armed brig, he captured le Bien Venu, French privateer, of 14 guns, on the North Sea station; and in June, 1803, we find him making the following report to the commander-in-chief at Portsmouth:
“Sir,– I have the honor to acquaint you, that cruising, pursuant to your directions, in H.M. hired armed cutter Albion, of six guns and twenty-seven men; at 3 p.m. 24th instant, we saw a cutter standing towards us; made sail in chase; at 5 we brought her to action, and, after a close engagement (within pistol-shot) of an hour and twelve minutes, she struck her colours, and proved to be the Marengo French privateer, of four guns and twenty-six men, belonging to Cherbourg; there was not any person wounded on board the Albion, though we had a few shot in our bull, and one gun dismounted; the enemy had three men wounded, one badly, and his sails and rigging cut to pieces. I have the honor to be, &c.
(Signed)“Mayson Wright.”
“To Admiral Montagu.”
This officer obtained his present rank on the 7th of Oct. 1813; and commanded the Albion of 12 guns, from that period until Jan. 1815.
# Royal Naval Biography/Wroot, Michael Milsom

Layout 2
MICHAEL MILSOM WROOT, Esq. [Commander.]
Was born at Whitgift, near Howden, co. York. We first find him serving on board the Requin brig. Lieutenant S. Powell, employed in Quiberon Bay, where he suffered shipwreck on a sunken rock, in the night of Feb. 1st, 1801. Owing to this disaster, twenty-one of that vessel’s crew were taken prisoners; and the remainder only saved from almost inevitable death or captivity by the boats of the Excellent 74, Captain the Hon. Robert Stopford.
​Mr. Wroot was appointed an acting lieutenant in July 1807; and obtained his first commission on the 21st Nov. following. During the last two years of the European war, he served under the flag of Lord Amelius Beauclerk, in the Royal Oak 74, principally employed in cruising off the Azores, and between the North Cape and Iceland, for the purpose of intercepting the national ships and privateers of America.
In May 1814, Lord Amelius having struck his flag, the Royal Oak, then commanded by Captain Edward Dix, was ordered to the mouth of the Gironde river, from whence she conveyed Rear-Admiral (now Sir Pulteney) Malcolm to Bermuda and the mouth of the Potowmac, accompanied by a body of troops under Major-General Ross, destined to capture the North American capital. On the termination of the operations against Washington, Baltimore, and Alexandria, of which we have, in former volumes, given outlines, Rear-Admiral Malcolm was left with a squadron under his command in the Patuxent, from whence he soon proceeded to Negril bay, Jamaica, the grand rendezvous of the expedition against Louisiana.
Lieutenant Wroot commanded the boats of the Royal Oak at the capture of the American flotilla, on Lac Borgne, Dec. 14th, 1814; and had the command of a party of seamen on shore, brigaded under Captain Sir E. T. Troubridge, at the unsuccessful siege of New Orleans. Since then he has served in the Active 46; Superb 78, bearing the broad pendant of Sir Thomas M. Hardy, on the South American station; Bulwark J6; and, as flag-lieutenant to Lord Amelius Beauclerk, in various ships on the Lisbon station; where he was appointed by that officer. May 11th, 1827, second captain of the Spartiate 76; and, in the beginning of July following, governor of the forts at the entrance of the Tagus, garrisoned by British marines, which responsible office he retained until the presence of the army under Lieutenant-General Sir W. H. Clinton, sent out to protect Portugal ​from invasion, was no longer requisite. He returned home in the Spartiate, May 1st, 1828.
Commander Wroot married in 1832, Harriet, daughter of Captain John Wentworth Holland, R.N.

He was promoted to the command of the ​Lacedemonian sloop, on the West India station, Mar. 27th, 1797; and captured by the French, but under what circumstances we know not, in the month of May following. He died at Widcombe House, near Bath, June 7th, 1831.

Was a midshipman on board the Caesar 80, Captain Sir Richard J. Strachan, at the capture of four French line-of-battle ships, under Mons. Dumanoir le Pelley, Nov. 4th, 1805. He obtained the rank of lieutenant on the 22d of the same month; served as such in the Venerable 74, Captain Sir Home Popham, during the Walcheren expedition; and, subsequently, as first of the Pembroke 74, Captain James Brisbane, on the Channel and Mediterranean stations. The manner in which the latter ship was employed will be seen by reference to Vol. II. Part I. p. 409 et seq. This officer was advanced to his present rank on the 10th Oct. 1815. He married in June, 1822, Mary, second daughter of the late Mr. Peter Goodman Glubb, of Liskeard, co. Cornwall.

# Representative women of New England/Caroline Y. Wentworth

​CAROLINE YOUNG WENTWORTH, M.D., Ch.B., of Newton Highlands, Mass., was born in South Berwick, Me., being the daughter of Benjamin F. and Mary Elizabeth (Young) Wentworth. Her maternal grandmother was a Quaker. On the paternal side her first ancestor in this country was Elder William AVentworth, who came to New England less than twenty years after the arrival of the Pilgrims on Plymouth Rock, and less than ten years after the arrival of John Winthrop and the settlement of Boston. In 1639 he was one of the signers of the "combination" for a government at Exeter, N.H. Some years later he settled in Dover, N.H., where he served as Ruling Elder of the church and for several years as Selectman. The long roll of his descendants includes many distinguished names, both in colonial and in later times.
The Wentworth family in England is traced back to a Saxon land-owner living in Strafford in the West Riding of Yorkshire in the eleventh century, and designated in the Domesday Book as Rynald or Reginald de Wynterwade.
Dr. Wentworth in her girlhood years attended the public schools of Wakefield, Mass., and subsequently took the course at the State Normal School in Framingham. After her graduation she taught m the public schools of Newton and in Arthur Oilman's Preparatory School in Cambridge. In 1895, after a four years' course of study at the Boston University School of Medicine, she received therefrom the degree of M.D., having previously taken (1894) the degree of Ch.B. (Bachelor of Surgery). She then spent a year as surgical interne in the Massachusetts Homœopathic Dispensary, and has held an. appointment on the surgical staff of that institution ever since. She is widely interested in philanthropic movements, and holds the office of visiting physician in a number of practical charitable institutions in Boston and Newton.
Shortly after her graduation Dr. Wentworth ​opened an office in Newton Highlands, where she has built up a large practice. She stands not only for skill and ability in her profession, but as an influence for good in the community.

# Representative women of New England/Caroline A. Bemis

​CAROLINE ASENATH BEMIS, matron of the Herbert Hall Asylum, founded by her husband. Dr. Merrick Bemis, in Worcester, Mass., has been officially associated with philanthropic work in that city for half a century.
Born in Brookfield, Mass., March 11, 1832, she is a daughter of the late Henry Gillmore, M.D., and Caroline Rice Gillmore, of Brookfield, and on the maternal side grand-daughter of Peter and Caroline Rice.
She was educated in the public schools and also at a private school in her native town. The ceremony which united her (Caroline A. Gillmore) in marriage with Dr. Merrick Bemis, ​a native of Sturbridge, took place on January 1, 1856. Dr. Bemis at that time was superintendent of the State Lunatic Hospital at Worcester, where he had previously been assistant to Dr. Chandler. Retiring from the State Hospital in 1872, after nearly twenty-five years' service, he founded a private hospital, Herbert Hall Asylum, named for George Herbert, the English divine and poet. It is for mentally diseased patients.
Although now (1903) in his eighty-third year, Dr. Bemis is in full possession of all his faculties. He is the manager of the hospital and an interested worker in public affairs in Worcester, being always ready to advance every good cause.
For nearly twenty years Mrs. Bemis was the efficient matron of the Stafe Lunatic Hospital at Worcester. In her early labors she received the friendly council of the distinguished philanthropist, Dorothea L. Dix. Mrs. Bemis continues her active duties as matron at Herbert Hall, dispensing comfort and happiness to all with whom she associates. Cheerfulness is one of her principles, and combined with an unselfish spirit has made her life work eminently successful. During extended travels abroad some years since, she visited hospitals and other institutions, adding to the value of her experience by study of foreign methods. Dr. and Mrs. Bemis have one son. Dr. John Merrick Bemis. He was born February 14, 1860, and is now assistant physician at the Herbert Hall Asylum.

349 U.S. 70
Rice v. Sioux City Memorial Park Cemetery
Argued: Nov. 8, 9, 1954. --- Decided: May 9, 1955
Mr. Justice BLACK, with whom THE CHIEF JUSTICE and Mr. Justice DOUGLAS join, dissenting.
We think that only very unusual circumstances can justify dismissal of cases on the ground that certiorari was improvidently granted. Our objections to such dismissals are stronger when, as here, a case has already been argued and decided by the Court. We do not agree that the circumstances relied on by the Court justify this dismissal. We granted certiorari because serious questions were raised concerning a denial of the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment. Those questions remain undecided. The Court dismisses the case because the Iowa Legislature has provided that every person in Iowa except one who has already filed a suit can prosecute claims like this. Apparently this law leaves everyone in Iowa free to vindicate this kind of right except the petitioner. This raises a new question of denial of equal protection of the laws equally as grave as those which prompted us to take this case originally. We cannot agree that this dismissal is justified merely because this petitioner is the only one whose rights may have been unconstitutionally denied.

# Rich Crooks/Chapter 1

From Adventure magazine, 3 March 1920, pp. 155–156.

### I

NOW and then people have got in my way, and bullets have been used. But it is another thing to kill a man in what is called cold blood. Every one of us has perhaps wondered that God has let certain people live and each of us has probably wished for the daring to do what God should—in our opinion. He knows all about everybody and that perhaps makes the difference, since circumstantial evidence has no influence on Him. That perhaps explains why He lets some people live on and on, though perhaps not why others die.
There came a time when I held the lives of two men in my hands and did not know which to throw away. One had killed a woman and the other had believed evil things of her. For a time I felt that the latter was even the more deserving of death and I was sure that both had lived too long, yet I hesitated to wink at the death of either. Contrary to the opinion that many people have of me, I am scrupulous about certain things.
“Don Everhard,” a wrathful, youthful cousin of mine had once said in a tone of disappointment and disgust, “you talk like a preacher!”
He had encountered certain scruples of mine and had angrily searched for the most crushing thing he could say to a professional gambler who was usually spoken of in the newspapers, as a “gun-fighter” and occasionally faintly damned by the police—who were, as frequently, wrong—for a “clever crook.”
This is essentially a complicated story because from first to last it covers many years and involves the motives and wickedness of more than one man. Sheer luck, if not accident, twice brought me into the plot; though I sometimes suspect Fate of being too thoughtful a dramatist to leave anything to mere chance.
In a way, what I have to tell come about because Jack Richmond, that same cousin, got himself engaged to Cora Cornwall. When I learned that her name was Cornwall and that she came from Utah, I had reason to meditate interestedly.
In my youth, our family, a rather large one, had been land-poor in southern California, but Jack came of age and into possession of an oil field all his own. He arrived with his pockets full of money to camp on my door-step. His imagination had been fired by what he had heard of me, in spite of the censorship which heads of our family had maintained. I was the “disgrace,” and he had ambitions to follows in my tracks. But, as I have said, he fell in love.
Ordinarily, I do not interfere with the folly of other people, not even of my own cousins, but I had dragged him almost by the ears from a card table and he was indignant. So he classed me with a preacher, which was not without its complimentary angle. I really could not blame him for gambling, since we had the same grandfather back of us and there was a strong undertow in our blood to do the things for which he had been famous.

# Sair sair was my heart (1)/The lass o' Ballochmyle

THE LASS O' BALLOCHMYLE.
’Twas even—the dewy fields were green, On every blade the pearls hang, The Zephyrlwanton'd round the bean, And bore its fragrant sweets alang. In every glen the mavis sang, All nature listening seem’d the while, Except where greenwood echoes rang, Amang the braes o' Ballochchmyle.
With careless steps I onward stray'd, My heart rejoiced in natures joy. When musing in a lonely shade, A maiden fair I chanced, to spy: Her look was like the morning’s aye, Her air iike nature's vernal smile, Perfection whispered passing by, Behold the lass o' Ballochmyle.
​Fair is the morn in flowery May, And sweet is night in autumn mild, When roving through the garden gay, Go wandring in the lonely wild, But woman, nature’s darling child, There all her charms she does compile, Even there are other works are foil’d, By the lass o’ Balochmyle.
O, had she been a country maid. And I the happy country swain. Though shelter’d in the lowest shed, That ever rose on Scotland’s plain. Through weary winter's wind and rain, With joy with rapture I would toil, Aad nightly to my bosom strain; The bonny lass o' Balochmyle.
Then pride might climb the slippery step, Where fame and honours lofty shine And thirst of gold might tempt the deep, Or downward sink the Indian mine, Give me the cot below the pine, To tend the flocks or till the soil, And every day have joys divine, With the bonny lass o’ Ballochmyle.
