Churchill seems TO have had for his
action is the principle lad down by
the court OF criminal appeal: that in
the case Of several offenses by the
same individual single sentence
should be regarded as cxpiating all
pending charges.
SO far as can be seen. the nigh
constable OF Warw!ckshire would have
been perfectly justified In declining TO
obey the orders of the Secretary OF
State. who has no authority over him.
For, excepting the metropolitan police
force OF the county OF London, the
Secretary Of State stur the Home Pc

The first people to erect castle at
Dublin were the Norwesians. who

Dublin. In 1172 Henry II. arrived. and

whose assistance he had crushed and
driven out the Danes. He held his
court there, in pavilion of wicker

of the liberties of the city of Dublin,
which were afterwards enlarged and
confirmed by King John. without, how
ever. removing the status OF the Irish
metropolis. as hef of the city of
Bristol.
