​BLOMFIELD, The Right Rev. Alfred, D.D., Bishop of Colchester, is the youngest son of the late Dr. Charles James Blomfield, Bishop of London, and was born at Fulham, Aug. 31, 1833. From Harrow school he proceeded to Balliol College, Oxford, where he obtained a first-class in classical moderations in 1853, and in Literæ Humaniores in 1854. In the latter year he gained the Chancellor's Prize for Latin verse. He was elected to a Fellowship at All Souls' College, and took the degree of B.A. in 1855 and M.A. in 1857. He was ordained priest in 1858; was curate of Kidderminster 1857–60; perpetual curate of St. Philip's, Stepney, 1862–65; vicar of St. Matthew's, City Road, 1865–71; and vicar of Barking, Essex, 1871–82. In 1869 he was chosen as a Select Preacher at Oxford. He was appointed Archdeacon of Essex in 1878, and Archdeacon of Colchester in 1882. In the latter year he was also appointed Bishop of Colchester, as suffragan to the Bishop of St. Alban's, and he was consecrated in St. Alban's Cathedral by the Archbishop of Canterbury (June 24). A few days before he had been created D.D., honoris causâ, by the University of Oxford. He is the author of Memoirs of his father, Bishop Blomfield, 2 vols., 1863; and "Sermons in Town and Country," 1871.

​BLAKESLEY, The Very Rev. Joseph Williams, B.D., the son of a London merchant, was born in 1808, and educated at St. Paul's School and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated B.A. in 1831 as 21st Wrangler and Senior Chancellor's Medallist. He was subsequently elected Fellow and Tutor of his college, and twice appointed select preacher before the university, in which capacity he preached the two courses of sermons on the Dispensation of Paganism and the Evidences of Christianity, published under the title "Conciones Academicæ." In 1845 he was presented by his college to the vicarage of Ware. He was an unsuccessful candidate for the Regius Professorship of Divinity at Cambridge in 1850; was offered, but declined, the Regius Professorship of Modern History in 1860; was appointed a classical examiner in the University of London in 1861; and was presented by the Crown to a canonry in Canterbury Cathedral in 1863; after which he sat as Proctor for the Chapter of Canterbury in the Lower House of Convocation, and was named one of the Committee for revising the authorised version of the New Testament. In June, 1872, he was appointed Dean of Lincoln, and on the death of Bishop Thirlwall, was appointed by the Crown as his successor in the Senate of the University of London. Dean Blakesley, the reputed "Hertfordshire Incumbent" of the Times, has published "The Life of Aristotle, with a Critical Examination of some questions of Literary History," 1839; an edition of Herodotus in the "Bibliotheca Classica," 1854; "Four Months in Algeria, with a Visit to Carthage," 1859; and has been a contributor to several of the principal reviews.

​BLAKENEY, The Rev. Richard Paul, D.D., LL.D., born in Roscommon, June 2, 1820, was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, taking a first-class place in theology in 1843. He was appointed to the curacy of St. Paul's, Nottingham, in June, 1843; to the vicarage of Ison-Green, Nottinghamshire, in June, 1844; and in Jan., 1852, to the vicarage of Christ Church, Claughton, Birkenhead, which he resigned in 1874, on being appointed vicar of Bridlington, Yorkshire. In 1868 the Senatus of the University of Edinburgh conferred on him the degree of D.D. honoris causâ. Dr. Blakeney has written largely on the controversy with the Catholic Church. Among his works are a "Manual of Romish Controversy," 1851, which has reached its tenth edition; "The Book of Common Prayer in its History and Interpretation," 1865—2nd ed. 1866; 3rd ed. 1870; "Catechism of the Prayer Book," 1869; and a "Protestant Catechism," 1851, which has passed through sixty editions.

​BLANCHARD, Edward Leman, son of William Blanchard, who for thirty-five years was a distinguished comedian at Covent Garden Theatre, was born Dec. 11, 1820. Mr. E. L. Blanchard became a constant contributor to periodical and dramatic literature at a very early period of his life, and before his twenty-fifth year was known to the public as the editor of "Chambers's London Journal," the author of "Bradshaw's Descriptive Railway Guides," and a series of handbooks, tales, essays, dramas, farces, and burlesques, which showed the exercise of a ready pen in the service of publishers and managers. He afterwards edited Willoughby's "Shakspere," "England and Wales Delineated," and wrote the novels of "Temple Bar," and "Man without a Destiny," besides supplying Miss Emma Stanley and Mr. W. S. Woodin with some of the most popular "entertainments" perhaps ever brought before the public. In addition to a quantity of literary work of a miscellaneous character, ​Mr. E. L. Blanchard has furnished the theatres with about one hundred pieces, most of them Christmas extravaganzas, in which he seems specially to have aimed at the dramatic illustration of fairy mythology. During more than thirty successive years the "Drury Lane Christmas Annuals" have proceeded from his pen. For the last twenty-one years he has been on the literary staff of the Daily Telegraph.
# Men of the Time, eleventh edition/Blewitt, Octavian

Layout 2
​BLEWITT, Octavian, was born Oct. 3, 1810, in St. Helen's Place, Bishopsgate, London, where his father was settled as a merchant. Entering the medical profession, he served the usual five years' apprenticeship, partly to his uncle, Mr. Dryden, assistant-surgeon of Devonport Dockyard, and partly to Mr. Pollard of Torquay. At the close of the year 1833 he came to London, where he continued his medical studies in the Infirmary of St. George's, Hanover Square, and spent much of his time in the house of Sir James Clark, acting as tutor in classics to the son of that eminent physician, and assisting him in preparing for the press his work on "Phthisis." Mr. Blewitt afterwards visited the island of Madeira with a patient, remained at Funchal for eight months, and subsequently travelled much in Italy, Egypt, Greece, Turkey, and other countries. In March, 1839, he was elected Secretary of the Royal Literary Fund, which office he still continues to hold. During his secretaryship the institution has largely extended the sphere of its operations and attained a thoroughly safe and assured position. Mr. Blewitt spent many years in arranging the papers, literary, financial, and historical, which constituted the records of the association; and these documents, when classified, were stitched into covers so as to be read like a book, and are now preserved in 130 folio boxes. In 1872 the King of the Belgians presided over the anniversary of the Literary Fund, and testified his sense of Mr. Blewitt's services by creating him a Knight of the Order of Leopold. The earliest of Mr. Blewitt's numerous contributions to literature was the "Panorama of Torquay," 1828, which was so successful that the impression was speedily exhausted; and a second and enlarged edition, professing to be "A Descriptive and Historical Sketch of the District comprised between the Dart and Teign," was published in 1832, and was so well received by the public and the press, that one of the leading medical journals described it as "the first attempt which had been made to combine science with topography." His other works include:—"Treatise on the Happiness arising from the exercise of the Christian Faith;" the preface to Glynn's "Autograph Portfolio;" "Handbook for Central Italy and Rome," 1843, 2nd edit. 1845, being one of Murray's guidebooks; and the "Handbook for Southern Italy and Naples," 1853, another volume of the same series. For 29 years he edited the newspaper portion of the Gardeners' Chronicle, and he has contributed articles to the Quarterly Review, Fraser's Magazine, the St. Paul's Magazine, and other periodicals. In 1846 he married the widow of Lieutenant Howard, R.N., second daughter of Mr. David E. Williams, third son of Mr. Justice Williams, the last Royalist judge of South Carolina, and grandson of Sir John Williams, Bart., of Edwinsford, Carmarthenshire. Mrs. Blewitt is herself an author, her first work having been a small collection of poems, privately printed; and her second a fairy tale, entitled "The Rose and the Lily, and how they became the Emblems of England and France."

Supreme Court of the United States
489 U.S. 794
MIDLAND ASPHALT CORP. v. UNITED STATES
Certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
No. 87-1905. Argued: Jan. 17, 1989 --- Decided: Mar. 28, 1989
Petitioners moved to dismiss a federal indictment against them on the ground, inter alia, that the prosecution had violated Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 6(e)(2)—which generally prohibits public disclosure by Government attorneys of "matters occurring before the grand jury"—by filing, in a separate criminal case, a memorandum disclosing matters before the grand jury in this case. After the District Court denied the motion, the Court of Appeals granted the Government's motion to dismiss petitioners' appeal for lack of jurisdiction on the ground that the District Court's order was not an immediately appealable "final decision" under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. The court rejected petitioners' contention that United States v. Mechanik, 475 U.S. 66, which held that an alleged violation of Rule 6(d) was rendered harmless beyond a reasonable doubt by a petit jury's guilty verdict, would render orders of this sort "effectively unreviewable on appeal from a final judgment," Coopers & Lybrand v. Livesay, 437 U.S. 463, 468, and immediately appealable under the collateral order exception to the final judgment rule.
Held: A district court order denying a defendant's motion to dismiss an indictment for an alleged violation of Rule 6(e) is not immediately appealable under § 1291. Since petitioners have not yet been sentenced, the District Court's order is not a final judgment ending the litigation on the merits. Moreover, whatever view is taken of the scope of Mechanik (an issue not resolved here), an order such as that at issue does not satisfy the stringent requirements of the Coopers & Lybrand test. There is no merit in petitioners' contention that such orders are "effectively unreviewable" once trial has been held because they pertain to a right not merely not to be convicted, but a right not to be tried at all. Neither the text of Rule 6(e) nor the Grand Jury Clause of the Fifth Amendment affords a right not to be tried (in the sense relevant for the collateral order doctrine) in the event of a violation of grand jury secrecy. Pp. 798–802.
