# Parliamentary Elections Act 1793

Source: The Statutes, Second Revised Edition: Volume 2. London. The Stationery Office. 1889.
AN ACT to explain and amend an Act passed in the Seventh and Eighth Years of King William the Third, intituled "An Act for the further regulating Elections of Members to serve in Parliament, and for the preventing irregular Proceedings of Sheriffs and other Officers in the electing and returning such Members," so far as relates to the Publication of Notices of the time and Place of Election.
WHEREAS by an Act made and passed in the seventh and eighth years of the late King William the Third (intituled An Act for the further regulating elections of members to serve in Parliament, and for the preventing irregular proceedings of sheriffs and other officers in the electing and returning such members,) it is enacted, that the proper officers therein mentioned shall upon the receipt of precepts for the election of members to serve in Parliament forthwith cause publick notice to be given of the time and place of election, and shall proceed to election thereupon within the time by the said Act limited, and give four days notice at least of the day appointed for the election; but it is not in the said Act specified at what time or within what hours of the day it shall be incumbent on the proper officer to give such publick notice as aforesaid: And whereas by reason of such uncertainty great inconveniences may arise from the undue practices of returning officers and others: May it please your Majesty that it may be enacted, and be it enacted by the King's most excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the lords spiritual and temporal, and commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, that from and after the passing of this Act all notices to be given of the time and place of any election for members to serve in Parliament shall be publickly given at the usual place or places within the hours of eight of the clock in the forenoon and four of the clock in the afternoon from the twenty-fifth day of October to the twenty-fifth day of March inclusive, and within the hours of eight of the clock in the forenoon and six of the clock in the afternoon from the twenty-fifth day of March to the twenty-fifth day of October inclusive, and not otherwise; and that no notice to be given of the time and place of elections of members to serve in Parliament shall be deemed or taken to be a good or valid notice for any purposes, or to any effect whatsoever, which shall not be made and published in the manner and within the time of day aforesaid, any law, statute, usage or custom to the contrary notwithstanding.

United States Supreme Court
78 U.S. 36
Parmelee v. Lawrence
In Lawler et al. v. Walker et al., it is said that the 25th section of the Judiciary Act required something more definite than the certificate of the Supreme Court to give this court jurisdiction.
The conflict of the State law with the Constitution of the United States, and a decision by a State court in favor of its validity, must appear on the face of the record before it can be re-examined in this court. It must appear in the pleadings of the suit, or from the evidence in the course of the trial, in the instructions asked for, or from exceptions taken to the rulings of the court. It must be that such a question was necessarily involved in the decision, and that the State court would not have given a judgment without deciding it. The decision in this case was approved, and applied in Railroad Company v. Rock. The certificate was as full in that case as in the present, but it was the only evidence of the fact that a Federal question had been presented.
The judge, in delivering the opinion of the court in that case, observed that 'it is probable that counsel in the argument of the case in the Supreme Court of Iowa, insisted that these matters were involved, and that the chief justice felt bound to certify, when requested, that they were drawn in question. But if the record,' he proceeds, 'does not show that they were necessarily drawn in question, this court cannot take jurisdiction to reverse the decision of the highest court of a State upon the ground that counsel brought them in question in argument.' We will add, if this court should entertain jurisdiction upon a certificate alone in the absence of any evidence of the question in the record, then the Supreme Court of the State can give the jurisdiction in every case where the question is made by counsel in the argument. The office of the certificate, as it respects the Federal question, is to make more certain and specific what is too general and indefinite in the record, but is incompetent to originate the question within the true construction of the 25th section.
MOTION TO DISMISS GRANTED.

PREFACE
The Author of these poems, Martha Lavinia Hoffman, was born in Jackson Valley, Amador County, California, July 21, 1865.
When three years of age her parents moved to Ukiah, California, where her girlhood and young womanhood were spent, and where she received inspiration from the beauties of nature in that, and adjacent valleys, for many of her poems.
From childhood she evinced an unusual love for the true and the beautiful.
When fourteen years of age she was stricken with a severe attack of inflammatory rheumatism which left her in frail health and terminated in her death, from consumption, at the age of thirty-five; but her spirit rose above the sufferings of the frail body and made her the joy and the life of the family.
To her mother she was devoted and the two were the closest companions and intimate friends.
One thought seemed at times to burden her mind and cast a shadow over her otherwise sunny nature and that was, that she was hindered by frail health from doing the good that her heart prompted her to.
A short time before her death she said to her mother and sisters: "I want my poems collected and printed, they may do some good, and you know it is the only way I have of doing good in the world."
And so we dedicate this little volume to those who read, hoping that some thought in it may touch the heart and lift it to a nearness with the Divine, the source of all that is true and beautiful and good, and that our darling sister who fell asleep so peacefully and with such sweet content may some day gather an abundant harvest of precious sheaves to lay at the feet of the Saviour she loved.
A SISTER.

VOID.
GREAT streets of silence led away To neighborhoods of pause; Here was no notice, no dissent, No universe, no laws.
By clocks 't was morning, and for night
The bells at distance called; But epoch had no basis here,
For period exhaled.

WE play at paste,
Till qualified for pearl,
Then drop the paste,
And deem ourself a fool.
The shapes, though, were similar,
And our new hands
Learned gem-tactics
Practising sands.

Who robbed the woods,
The trusting woods?
The unsuspecting trees
Brought out their burrs and mosses
His fantasy to please.
He scanned their trinkets, curious,
He grasped, he bore away.
What will the solemn hemlock,
What will the fir-tree say?

# Poems: Second Series (Dickinson)/What if I say I shall not wait?

XVI.
WHAT if I say I shall not wait? What if I burst the fleshly gate And pass, escaped, to thee? What if I file this mortal off, See where it hurt me, — that 's enough,— And wade in liberty?
They cannot take us any more, — Dungeons may call, and guns implore; Unmeaning now, to me, As laughter was an hour ago, Or laces, or a travelling show, Or who died yesterday!

WHAT inn is this
Where for the night

No brimming tankards flow.
Necromancer, landlord,
Who are these below?

# Poems: Second Series (Dickinson)/Your riches taught me poverty

YOUR riches taught me poverty. Myself a millionnaire In little wealths, — as girls could boast, — Till broad as Buenos Ayre,
You drifted your dominions A different Peru; And I esteemed all poverty, For life's estate with you.
Of mines I little know, myself, But just the names of gems, -- The colors of the commonest; And scarce of diadems
So much that, did I meet the queen, Her glory I should know: But this must be a different wealth, To miss it beggars so.
I 'm sure 't is India all day To those who look on you Without a stint, without a blame, — Might I but be the Jew!
I 'm sure it is Golconda, Beyond my power to deem, — To have a smile for mine each day, How better than a gem!
At least, it solaces to know That there exists a gold, Although I prove it just in time Its distance to behold!
It 's far, far treasure to surmise, And estimate the pearl That slipped my simple fingers through While just a girl at school!

United States Supreme Court
248 U.S. 112
Payne v. State Kansas Brewster
Argued: Nov. 15, 1918. --- Decided: Dec 9, 1918
The validity of chapter 371, Laws of Kansas 1915-'An act in relation to the sale of farm produce on commission'-is challenged by certain grain dealers carrying on business in that state. It forbids the sale of farm produce on commission without an annual license, to be procured from the State Board of Agriculture upon a proper showing as to character, responsibility, etc., and a bond conditioned to make honest accounting. A fee of $10 is required.
Plaintiffs in error maintain that the statute is class legislation which abridges their rights and privileges, that it deprives them of the equal protection of the laws and also of their property without due process of law-all in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Manifestly, the purpose of the state was to prevent certain evils incident to the business of commission merchants in farm products by regulating it. Many former opinions have pointed out the limitations upon powers of the states concerning matters of this kind and we think the present record fails to show that these limitations have been transcended.

# Payne v. Niles

United States Supreme Court
61 U.S. 219
Payne v. Niles
THIS case was brought up, by writ of error, from the Circuit Court of the United States for the eastern district of Louisiana.
As originally brought, the suit was Niles & Co. v. Knox, and the circumstances which led to the change of title are stated in the opinion of the court.
On the 8th of February, 1856, the Circuit Court dismissed the intervention, with costs, when the intervenors sued out a writ of error, and brought the case up to this court.
It was argued by Mr. Chilton for the plaintiffs in error, and by Mr. Benjamin for the defendant. There were also briefs of Mr. Chilton and Mr. Davidge for the plaintiffs in error, and Mr. Pike for the defendant.
Mr. Benjamin thus noticed the point upon which the decision of the court turned:
1st. The writ of error must be dismissed. There is no such record as is required by the eleventh and thirty-first rules of the court. There is nothing but a petition of intervention, and an agreed statement of facts without any date, but which seems to have been made up after the new trial was refused; no answer, no pleadings, no bill of exceptions. (Keene v. Whitaker, 13 Pet., 459; Curtis v. Petitpain, 18 How., 110.)
2d. The judgment appealed from is one of which this court has no jurisdiction; the writ ought to be dismissed. (Bayard v. Lombard, 9 How., 550; Curtis v. Petitpain, 18 How., 110.)
Mr. Chief Justice TANEY delivered the opinion of the court.

# Paulo Ucello/Chapter 6

CHAPTER VI
How St. Francis came down to Paulo by the paths of the fair landscape he had painted and did reprove him.
SUCH was the humble plaint that mutely stirr’d Within his heart, and yet from heaven on high The son of Pietro Bernardone heard.
And, lo! St. Francis down the hill draw nigh, Gliding among the vines and orchard trees; No blade was bent as he trod lightly by.
Barefoot he was, and clad in homely frieze. ‘Oh, naughty Paulo, brother mine,’ he cried, While yet afar: ‘doth it no longer please
Thee, foolish one, to eat the crust of bread By mountain springs, in Poverty’s own fold, Who dwells on high, by God companioned?
Crumbs from the angels’ table dost thou hold In scorn, my brother, coveting to bear Pallet and staff and shoes, silver and gold?
Be poor and sinless, Paulo Ucello, fare Even as these, thy brethren of the wood, Nor ask for gold, nor yet two coats to wear:
Thine own, brown as the fallen leaf, is good Enough; such as thy sainted sister wise, The lark, wears; she who pecks two grains of food
On earth, then, singing, soars into the skies.’
# Paulo Ucello/Chapter 7

CHAPTER VII
How the Saint understood that Paulo deemed his to be but a small desire, yet shewed him how great a one it was in deed.
HIS nearing form grew slowly, till he staid His steps by Paulo’s side; then, grave and tender, Upon his heart a gentle hand he laid.
Nought could he feel there save the quivering stir Of beating wings. Again St. Francis spake: ‘Oh, brother Paulo, God’s own pensioner,
Little it is to thee that thou shouldst take From these their freedom; yet how great the wrong To the winged bird who of his tears must make
Thy pastime. For his haunts he still will long On green Mugnone, where, a beggar free, He lived and paid for every grub a song.
To him, believe me, sweeter far will be The worm, caught in the woods at break of day, Than head of groundsel in captivity.
Leave them to go upon their airy way, Redolent with the dew, with sunshine blest, Singing God’s praise, this lovely month of May.
Leave to my minor brothers my bequest, The life of solitude, the hills to roam, The tiny cell among the leaves for rest,
The spacious cloister with its airy dome.’
# Paulo Ucello/Chapter 9

CHAPTER IX
How the Saint made Paulo aware that the birds he had painted were themselves real and living, and that they alone might be his.
AND as he went, on either hand he strewed Crumbs fallen, holy angels! from your board. As sower his seed, he cast them. Paulo stood
And watched in silent awe. The crumbs were stored Within his cowl, where he would dip anew And cast them on the hillside far abroad.
Straightway, amid the leaves, a rustling grew, A murmuring, as when strong libeccio blows; The pigeon stretched a languid neck; and through
The leafy trees a subdued twittering rose; Until the sad, sweet notes were heard that ease The stock-dove’s heart in Greccio’s still repose.
Then down from wood and field and orchard trees The birds came flocking: to his side they clung, About his head, his arms, his feet, his knees.
The quails came to him with their downy young, And to him upon white and stately wing The swans, in fleets, on the blue waters swung.
His image waned, till there remained nothing Of him save five gold stars upon the hills, And on the ear, like rustling of the spring,
Fell the crisp pecking of a thousand bills.
# Paulo Ucello/Chapter 2

CHAPTER II
Of the wall of his small chamber on which Paulo painted, for his own delight, a fair landscape of trees and fields.
FOR thickly clustering over all the wall Were trees, and flowers, and fruit, and blossom rare; Fig, apple, pear, with pine-tree dark and tall.
And wonderful it was to see how there The almond-blossom still clung gleaming white, While here already hung the golden pear.
Against the sky tall laurels rose in sight. While heart-shaped ivy, trailing from the bough, Covered a welling spring, as dark as night.
Beyond, a hill sloped gently up, its brow Or with red clusters of the vine aglow, Or black with new-turned earth beneath the plough.
Willows, beside the stream, were winding slow; Long cypresses climbed up the rocky steep: Here idle lay a scythe, and there a hoe.
And here the fresh-turned sods were furrowed deep And straight, between thick hedges set four-square; While there a sea of corn stretched in a golden sweep.
And, yet more wonderful! that sturdy pair Of oxen yoked, who yonder broke the clay, Were not as big as the swift-footed hare
That from the threatening ploughman fled away.
# Paulo Ucello/Chapter 3

CHAPTER III
How this same wall was painted by him with all manner of birds that he might take delight in looking upon them, since he could not own them.
AND birds there were: birds, birds on every hand, That the good man had seen, and loved, and could Not buy: on bough and blade, on stream and land:
With tuft, with necklet and with crested hood, From the wide ocean or from mountain height, Dwellers in hill and valley, brake and wood;
On wings of snow and fire, of air and light; Green, golden, crimson, blue their feathers gay; Homing with grub or fly captured in flight.
Armies of cranes from mists fled fast away; On the still waters of the azure stream Fleets of white swans oared their majestic way.
Each swallow sped to its familiar beam; And the brown eagle, soaring high above, Swooped down on them in vain, too far to seem
A danger, even to the quail, nor move To fear with the loud rumble of its wings The pigeon or the fearful turtle-dove.
Safe on the bushes of the moorland nesting, Secure upon the rushes of the fen, Perched undisturbed the nightingale and lapwing,
Tom-tit and sea-gull, cuckoo, finch and wren.
# Paulo Ucello/Chapter 4

CHAPTER IV
How, gazing on these creatures of his brush, he forgot to repeat the ‘angelus’ and fell into temptation.
WHEN in his room the little finch beside Was captive, without use of net or lime, Paulo gazed upon his wall with pride.
So rapt he was, he heeded neither time Nor his wife’s call, nor did he hear at all From Giotto’s tower the Ave Mary chime.
On these his tender creatures, loved so well, The old lay-brother gazed with thoughtful care, While round him, soft and still the twilight fell.
And he forgot his wonted evening prayer, The angel’s greeting. From the street in cadence Soft strains of viol and lute rose through the air:
From balconies was born the lingering fragrance Of marjoram and thyme, while all along The golden broom lined the street with radiance.
Round Brunelleschi’s spire a chattering throng Of sparrows through each buttressed archway whirred; Below young lads and maidens raised a song.
Around thee, Santa Maria del Fiore, stirr’d Such living freshness, such a fragrant spell, Paulo forgot St. Francis and his word,
And, tempted, in his heart to murmuring fell.
