Layout 2
SIR JOHN WELLS Admiral of the Blue; Knight Commander of the most honourable Military Order of the Bath.
Towards the conclusion of the American war this officer commanded the Raven, of 14 guns, at the Leeward Islands, on which station he had the misfortune to be captured by two French frigates. He was afterwards appointed to the Wasp sloop, and cruised with so much activity against the smugglers as to call forth the thanks of the Commissioners of the Customs, who sent a sum of money to be distributed amongst his officers and crew as a reward for their exertions. His post commission bears date March 1, 1783, from which period we find no mention of him until the month of October, 1794, when he commanded the Defence, of 74 guns.
Early in 1797, Captain Wells was appointed to the Lancaster, 64, stationed in the North Sea, under the orders of the late gallant Lord Duncan; and on the memorable 11th October, in the same year, he most powerfully contributed to the defeat of the Dutch fleet, under Admiral de Winter. The Lancaster, on that occasion, had 3 men killed and 18 wounded; and Captain Wells, for his meritorious conduct, was honoured with a gold medal. He afterwards walked in the procession to St. Paul’s, when their late Majesties, &c. went to the metropolitan church to deposit the various colours taken from the enemy during the war. He continued to command the Lancaster till the month of May 1799, since which time, we believe, he has not been employed.
His promotions as a flag-officer took place in the following order; Rear-Admiral of the Blue, Nov. 9, 1805; Vice-Admiral, July 31, 1810; and Admiral, July 19, 1821. He was nominated an extra K.C.B. May 20, 1820.
Sir John Wells married, April 29, 1815, Miss Jane Dealty, of Rottingdean, Sussex.

THOMAS WELLS, Esq. [Commander.]
Was made a lieutenant in 1795, and promoted to the rank of commander in Nov. 1808. On the 1st of that month, being then acting in the Cruiser sloop, he engaged a Danish flotilla, near Gottenburgh, captured one vessel of ten four-pounders, and compelled her consorts, about twenty in number, to take refuge under the island of Loesoe. In the summer of 1811, he was appointed to the Phipps sloop; and on the 11th Mar. 1812, we find him capturing le Cerf, French lugger privateer, of five guns and thirty-one men. On the 4th May following, he assisted at the recapture of H.M. sloop Apelles. This officer died on the continent, in 1825.

* sister projects: Commons category, Wikidata item.
A posthumous book by the author of "Pollyanna".... Sister Sue was so called because "to any questions you asked of any of the family there was only one answer: 'Sister Sue will know'; 'Sister Sue will do it'." Sister Sue had dreamed of becoming a pianist and of hearing audiences shout, "Encore! Encore! Susanna Gilmore! Encore!" Instead her dreams were sacrificed in order that she might care for an impoverished and stricken father and an inordinately selfish brother and sister—such as one meets in many a family. Even her suitor fails her; but Sister Sue is never vanquished and in the end—well, in the end everything is very satisfactory. —from The Bookman, July 1921. [Full review on the Discussion page]

# Sea Scamps

For to save you, you cannot get over the notion that these affairs really happened. Wild and improbable as is the story entitled "Back Tracks," it nevertheless impresses you as authentic. Perhaps the very fact that the method is so back-handed and criss-cross and unconventional adds to this feeling. It is as though you had heard the incidents at first hand, or had read of them in the hasty English of a cable dispatch.... —Stewart Edward White

# Smith v. Cockrill/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
73 U.S. 756
Smith v. Cockrill
The State of Kansas was admitted into the Union by act of Congress on the 29th January, 1861, the fourth section of which provided, 'that from and after the admission of the State of Kansas, as heretofore provided, all the laws of the United States, which are not locally inapplicable, shall have the same force and effect within that State as in other States of the Union: and the said State is hereby constituted a judicial district,' &c.
The act of 1828 provided, 'that the forms of mesne process, except the title, and the forms and modes of proceeding in suits in the courts of the United States, held in those States admitted into the Union since the 29th of September, 1789, in those of common law, shall be the same in each of the said States, respectively, as are now used in the highest court of original and general jurisdiction of the same; in proceedings in equity, according to the principles, rules, and usages, which belong to courts in equity, &c., except so far as may have been otherwise provided for by acts of Congress, subject, however, to such alterations and additions as the courts of the United States shall, in their discretion, deem expedient,' &c.
This act was re-enacted August 1st, 1842. The act of 1828, is one of the acts extended over the State of Kansas, and which is declared 'to have the same force and effect within that State as in other States of the Union.' As it respects that State, it was a virtual re-enactment of it. It had the effect, therefore, to adopt as the forms and modes of proceeding, in suits in the Federal courts at common law, the same as existed at the time, and were used in the highest common law courts of the State; and by the third section of the act of 1828, writs of execution and other final process issued on judgments rendered in courts of the United States, were to be the same as used in the State. #fn-s-s
In the absence of this provision in the act admitting Kansas into the Union, extending the Federal laws over it, there would be great difficulty in finding any authority in the court to issue the execution, or in the marshal to execute it, but with it all difficulty disappears. The result, however, is, that the sale by the marshal in not conforming the mode of proceeding in levying the execution, and making the sale, to the State practice, is irregular and void, and the deed to Smith, the defendant, conveyed no title. The civil code of procedure of the Territory requiring the appraisal, and sale at two-thirds of the appraised value, was continued in force at the formation of the State, and, consequently, was the mode of proceeding adopted on the introduction of the process act of 1828-1842, and to which the marshal should have conformed in making the sale.
JUDGMENT AFFIRMED.

Smith v. Cockrill
ERROR to the Circuit Court for the District of Kansas.
The suit was an action of ejectment by Cockrill against Smith, to recover the possession of several lots of land in the city of Leavenworth.
The plaintiff claimed title under a sale on a judgment against one Clark, recovered in a State court on the 4th of April, 1862. The sale took place on execution upon the judgment on the 23d of July, 1863, at which the plaintiff, Cockrill, became the purchaser, and received a deed from the sheriff of the lots in question.
The defendant, Smith, also claimed title under a sale on execution upon two judgments against Clark, recovered in the District Court of the United States-one on the 29th of May, 1861, the other on the next day of the same month. And the sale took place under the executions by the marshal on the 8th August, 1861, and Smith became the purchaser, and received a deed from the marshal for the same lots.
Both parties thus set up title under Clark; and as Smith, the defendant below, had the elder title, if there was nothing else in the case, he would have been entitled to recover.
It was objected, however, that the deed to him from the marshal under the sale was void, for the reason that it was not made in conformity with the code of civil procedure of Kansas, which requires an appraisement of the property levied on, and that it shall be sold on the execution for two-thirds of its appraised value.
It being admitted that the property was not thus appraisd , nor sold, the court below held that the sale was void, and that the marshal's deed conveyed no title to the purchaser. The correctness of this view raised the only question in the case.
Mr. T. A. Hendricks and Mr. R. Breckenridge, for the plaintiff in error; Messrs. Clough and Wheat, with an elaborate brief of Mr. Lysander B. Wheat, setting out the statutes and authorities bearing on the case-contra.
Mr. Justice NELSON delivered the opinion of the court.
