Here's a police station in Northern Constabulary's force area which was not a Northern Constabulary police station! Confused? Well, let me explain.
Grantown -on-Spey (as it became in 1898 on being made a Burgh, prior to which it was simply Grantown) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grantown-on-Spey is s a "new town" or "planned town" created in the 18th century, built on a piece of uninhabited moorland one and a half miles from Castle Grant. The centre of the town was a rectangular piece of grass and round this the first houses were built at “The Square”.
It was situated right on the border of Elginshire (Morayshire) and Inverness-shire, and indeed in 1840 when County policing was being started (or at least professionalised from the previous Rural Constabularies which did - or did not - operate), it created a bit of a quandary. Because part of it was in Inverness-shire, that force felt obliged to have an officer there, and yet most of it was in Elginshire, so could the two counties (or Chief officers) perhaps come to some sort of arrangement? Then, as now, the cost of policing was of great importance!
In any event, following tidying up of county boundaries, the problem went away and the whole of the town and its environs was very much within Elginshire. Having said that, it was bounded on the south and west by Abernethy (Nethybridge) and Duthil (Carrbridge) beats of Inverness-shire Constabulary, and it was a long way away from the County Capital, Elgin. As such, the Grantown bobbies always kept in touch with their neighbours in Inverness-shire, an arrangement which worked well over the years.
This building was constructed in 1868, presumably by the Commissioners of Supply for Elginshire (as Police Authority) or the Town Council of Grantown, and was named the “Town House”. It also hosted a Burgh Courtroom. It could not have a more prominent location in the centre of the Burgh – if you look closely at this photo, a street sign “The Square” is mounted at the corner of the building, with a “Police” sign beside it.
Part of the building, at least, was allocated to the Police and by the 1960s it was recorded that the Station building was owned by the Police Authority, and comprised a Police Office, 2 cells and a 4-roomed apartment (Police House). It is likely that the house was occupied by the Sergeant for the area. By 1930, Morayshire had merged with Nairn to form Moray & Nairn Constabulary, and in 1949 that force was absorbed into the new Scottish North Eastern Counties Constabulary (SNECC) - nothing much North OR East about Grantown's location though, being fairly central in the Scottish Highlands in the foothills of the Cairngorms, some 15 miles north east of Aviemore (Inverness-shire)
The 1974 reorganisation of Scottish Local Government afforded an opportunity to objectively review boundaries and so the Parish of Cromdale and Burgh of Grantown were placed within the new Highland Region (to be policed by Northern Constabulary) - as was the case with Nairnshire also - rather than within Grampian Region (into which the remainder of SNECC merged with Aberdeen City Police). By then however, this building was no longer fit for purpose as a police station and by mid-1973 SNECC had completed the building of a new police station further up the road in Castle Street, complete with 2 attached houses and a flat for officer accommodation. Thus by then time Northern Constabulary had come into being in May 1975, the “Town House” was no longer an operational Police Station, and it was duly handed over to the Highland Council. It is now in use as Council offices and a Public Service Point.
After the merger, Grantown-on-Spey’s Sergeant became responsible for supervision of the Nethybridge Police Station, and Grantown Section subsequently was extended to take in Carrbridge and Boat of Garten. (The single-officer Stations in the small villages of Nethybridge, Boat of Garten and Carr Bridge have since closed and these areas are policed from Grantown/Aviemore.)
The Station in the photograph would have been from where Constable James Fraser of the Elginshire Constabulary set off on 17th July 1878. He was summoned to the nearby Grant Arms Hotel, in response to a report of a male suffering delirium tremens (DTs) in his room in the Hotel, which he was in the process of trashing. PC Fraser was endeavouring to effect the arrest of one Andrew Granger who was causing a disturbance within a bedroom of the hotel. On PC Fraser trying to push the room door open to effect entry, Granger thrust a knife at him and caused him grievous bodily injuries from which died two days later.
Granger was subsequently convicted of killing PC Fraser (but found guilty of the lesser charge of Culpable Homicide instead of Murder).
In the history of the area now policed by Northern Constabulary only two officers died from injuries deliberately inflicted - PC Fraser and PC Thomas King (20 years later and 6 miles away in the adjacent County of Inverness-shire). www.flickr.com/photos/conner395/803771270
Both men are buried in the same graveyard, of Abernethy Parish Church - midway between Grantown and Nethybridge - their graves merely yards apart - and yet (until additional lettering was added to PC Kings gravestone on the centenary of his death) there was nothing to show that either officer had been killed in the line of duty)
God Bless them both.

A Francesc Ferrer i Guàrdia
monòlit per a Francesc Ferrer i Guardia, a la muntanya de Montjuïc, per l'ajuntament de Barcelona el 13 d'octubre de 1990 en 81 aniversari de la seva mort.
El 13 d'octubre de 1909 va ser executat a la presó del castell de Montjuïc, acusat d'haver estat l'instigador de la revolta coneguda com la Setmana Tràgica de Barcelona del 1909. Una revolta anticlerical, després de la qual Ferrer, a causa de les seves poques amistats estratègiques i la seva antiga vinculació amb Mateo Morral, va ser declarat culpable davant un tribunal militar. La seva obra més coneguda és L'Escola Moderna. Poc després de la seva mort es van obrir arreu del món diverses Escoles Modernes inspirades en la seva pedagogia. Una de les més importants va ser la Modern School de Nova York, fundada en 1911.
---------------------------------
Monolith and statue dedicated in 1990 by the Barcelona mayor's office in respect for his work.
Following the declaration of martial law in 1909 during the Tragic Week, he was arrested and executed without trial by firing squad at Montjuich Fortress in Barcelona on 13 October, even though he was never really involved.
Shortly after his execution, numerous supporters of Ferrer's ideas in the United States formed what were called Modern Schools, or Ferrer Schools, modeled after la Escuela Moderna. The first and most notable Modern School was formed in New York City in 1911
------------------------------
Monolito y estatua colocados en 1990 como reconocimiento público de la ciudad de Barcelona a Ferrer Guardia. Este monumento es una réplica del instalado en memoria del pedagogo anarquista en 1911 en Bruselas, exactamente en la Avenida Franklin Roosevelt, frente a la Universidad Libre de la capital belga.
En 1909 se encuentra en Barcelona y es detenido, acusado de haber sido el instigador de la revuelta conocida como la Semana Trágica. Una revuelta anticlerical, tras la cual Ferrer, debido a sus pocas amistades estratégicas y su antigua vinculación con Mateo Morral, fue declarado culpable ante un tribunal militar y a las 9 de la mañana del 13 de octubre de 1909 fue fusilado en el foso de Santa Amalia de la prisión del Montjuïc.
Es bien sabido, y ya lo fue en su momento, que Ferrer Guardia no tuvo relación con los hechos y que los tribunales militares lo acusaron y condenaron sin más pruebas.
A Congressional initiative that would award the Purple Heart Medal to the military victims of Major Nidal Hasan’s terrorist attack on Fort Hood is being blocked by the U.S. Department of Defense in a most bizarre rendering of reasoning.
“Passage of this legislation could directly and indirectly influence potential court-martial panel members, witnesses, or the chain of command, all of whom exercise a critical role under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Defense counsel will argue that Major Hasan cannot receive a fair trial because a branch of government has indirectly declared that Major Hasan is a terrorist -- that he is criminally culpable.”
The DOD said “The Army objects to the proposal because it would undermine the prosecution of Major Nidal Hasan by materially and directly compromising Major Hasan’s ability to receive a fair trial. This provision will be viewed as setting the stage for a formal declaration that Major Hasan is a terrorist, on what is now the eve of trial. Such a situation, prior to trial, would fundamentally compromise the fairness and due process of the pending trial.”
Once again the U.S. government, for reasons unbeknownst to us, seeks to enjoin some sort of political correctness regarding defendants’ rights as opposed to calling an Islamic terrorist an Islamic terrorist.
You’ll have to excuse us if we can't quite wrap our brains around the unwillingness of the administration to cite a Muslim man who shouts “Allahu Akhbar” before murdering the lives of 13 innocent people as an Islamic terrorist. Do they really believe that they can convince us that he was just having a bad hair day? Suicide bombers do the same thing.
In case you might be wondering what the White House thinks, “The Administration objects to Section 552 which would grant Purple Hearts to the victims of the shooting incidents in Fort Hood, Texas, and Little Rock, Arkansas.” This a direct quote from an eight-page official STATEMENT OF ADMINISTRATION POLICY issued on the letterhead of the Executive Office of the President!
We must ask ourselves, “Where is the America that will defend its own against acts of terrorism?” Then it follows that we must also ask, “Where is the America that will defend its allies?” That leads to asking “Where is the America that will defend Israel?”
Fortunately for Israel, she does not need the American President. Almighty God is her Protector and Redeemer. Some might argue, asking “Where has He been for the last 2,000 years?” Those who ask do so through the eyes of flesh that miss the fact that His dealings with Israel are not done. He has walked with the Jews through the “valley of the shadow of death” and He will lead them to a time when they “shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” That time has not yet come, but it is close at hand. We need to pray for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6) with a heart that completely trusts the Lord and knows that His plan is perfect in every way. Pray with us, please.

A South Korean captured soldier who elected to stay in North Korea puts his arm around U.S. POW Otho G. Bell of Mississippi January 26, 1954. Bell also decided to remain with the communist-led forces.
The two are singing the Internationale.
As the Red Scare of the late 1940s and 1950s continued in the United States, the prisoners who refused repatriation were labeled as “brainwashed” and fear of communists’ ability to shape people’s minds was spread across the country.
However some were African Americans who did not wish to return to face racial discrimination. Others agreed with their hosts that communism represented a better hope for mankind than the capitalism of the United States.
Most, though ultimately had difficulty adapting to the culture and language of the host country and eventually returned to the United States.
Prisoner repatriation was one of the greatest stumbling blocks in the long cease-fire negotiations between the forces of the United Nations and those of China and North Korea.
In June 1953, the two sides agreed that no prisoner who did not wish to be repatriated would be forced to do so (this had long been a sticking point in negotiations, with the Chinese and North Koreans wanting all prisoners returned to their home countries).
Prisoners who did not wish to go back to their home countries would be given 90 days in a neutral compound near Panmunjom to reconsider before being allowed to stay in enemy territory. Following the armistice that was signed on 27 July 1953, effectively ending the Korean War (South Korea never signed), the main prisoner exchange was free to proceed.
One British and 23 American soldiers (along with 327 South Koreans) refused to be returned to their homelands. Two, Corporal Claude Batchelor and Corporal Edward Dickenson, changed their minds before the 90-day window expired. Both were court-martialed and sentenced to prison terms, with Batchelor serving 4½ years and Dickenson 3½.
This left 22 U.N. soldiers who voluntarily stayed with the Communists after the final exchange of prisoners. The 21 Americans were given dishonorable discharges.
This had the unintended consequence of rendering them immune to court-martial when they finally returned to the United States (which the majority eventually did), because they were no longer active-duty military. However, they were still criminally culpable for any acts of collaboration or offenses against fellow prisoners committed while they were POWs.
About 4 a.m. on February 24, 1954, a train carrying the 21 American defectors rumbled across the Yalu River into China. The Chinese soon shipped some of the men off to study language and politics. Others went to mills, factories, and farms across Eastern China.

2014 May 2
Today one friend (Pro-Ukraine) missed being shot by less than a meter. Another (Pro-Russia) was beaten by opposing protesters. And another (Pro-Ukraine) was lit on fire by a Molotov cocktail. ...And I *saw* that last one as it happened on a livestream. And what happened at Odessa's Trade Union Building today is an absolute travesty. If you aren't paying attention to what has been happening, is happening, and what is still to come: you should be.
What is going on in Ukraine is sickening, and worsened in that at the start of this year these same people were friends. You don't throw rocks or tear up cobblestones, toss Molotovs or fill the bottles, fire bullets or stand beside them & expect none of that is intended to kill. Those of both sides who contribute to the carnage are as culpable as those who perform it.
Behind every front line of thugs is a mindless mob, and behind every mindless mob -- to some glimmer of hope -- are the good people, ignored, who will pickup the fallen and clean the mess of both sides.
London CPS – Demonstration Statement – 3rd July 2009
We are cyclists of London, gathered here this afternoon, in a quiet protest and short vigil in memory of all our fellow cyclists killed by the drivers of vehicles; several more during this year already.
In particular we think of Eilidh Cairns, 30, who was killed at Notting Hill Gate by a tipper lorry driver on February 5th this year, and of Anthony Maynard, 25, who was killed north of Henley by a van driver exactly a year ago
We make our protest here at the London Crown Prosecution Service, to remind Ms Dru Sharpling, Chief Crown Prosecutor, of the decision of her colleagues at Reading CPS, when last year they inappropriately, remissly, and to our minds unforgivably, ordered that the van driver who struck Anthony (and his companion) from behind would not face charges. We do not hold Anthony’s life so cheap
You, the CPS at London, will shortly be reviewing the case of Eilidh Cairns who was also hit from behind on a one-way straight road.
Our protest is on behalf of all cyclists. Across Europe, motorists are presumed to be at fault in motorist-cyclist collisions. In the UK, even faced with prime evidence of a dead body, a driver does not have to prove his innocence. Instead the C.P.S. decides whether charges can successfully be brought against the motorist, and can then choose to drop a case entirely. In Anthony’s case (and as is claimed in Eilidh’s case, and in the cases of many others) the van driver’s defence that he simply didn't see the cyclists was accepted by the C.P.S. as an adequate accounting for the death of a highly-principled and well-loved citizen in the prime of his life
In a time when the nation as a whole is encouraged to exercise, and use forms of transport other than the car, and when climate change is seen as a real threat, cyclists need to feel that they have the full and equal protection of the law when on public roads, and not a law apparently interpreted (or simply set aside) to the maximum advantage of the driver, no matter how culpably careless. The C.P.S. was in dereliction of its duty last year. We fervently hope that it will adopt a different perspective, starting with the forthcoming case of Eilidh. Allowing drivers to kill with complete impunity just will not do, and does not meet the nation’s needs and priorities
We append a quotation from Christopher G. Thompson, ‘District Crown Prosecutor, Oxford Rural’, in a letter sent by him to one of the Reading Cycling Club committee who had written deploring this failure to prosecute (dated 16 March 2009):
“the fact that no prosecution has followed in this case does not in any way mean or suggest that drivers may drive carelessly around cyclists or that cyclists will not be afforded the protection of the law where appropriate.”
In what must have been a considered letter, the phrase affording cyclists the protection of the law “where appropriate” is chilling: NO! We demand the protection of the law. Full stop
Thank you. Cyclists of London

comments by CR:
"The Land Leviathan"(1974) by Michael Moorcock is books 2 in the trilogy "Oswald Bastable" the other two books are "Warlord of the Air" (1971) book 1 and "The Steel Tsar"(1981) book 3. Just to be accurate the series is also referred to as "Nomad of the Time Streams" a title which I prefer.
In "The Land Leviathan" author Moorcock, a character in the novel no less, go to great lengths to create the background of how he acquired the manuscript that is the Land Leviathan - first a 3 page introduction and then a 37 page prologue and this in a 175 page book (DAW paperback No 178 published January 1976) - then an epilogue and a editor's note. Candidly this makes for an intriguing reading experience especially if you have read book 1"Warlord of the Air". Oswald Barnstable revisits the early 20th Century for the 2nd time to find Gandhi as the ruler of South Africa and the United States a devastated country with a crackpot racist President. Oswald reluctantly joins forced with the notorious despot Cicero Hood the Black Attila.
This science-fiction novel by acclaimed British author Michael Moorcock (b1939 -) falls into the category of "alternate histories" a popular if somewhat overuse SF trope particularly during the last 15 years or so. Moorcock's protagonist in all three novels is Oswald Bastable who has the problematic talent or better yet curse of uncontrolled reentering of the Timestream and reliving alternate political-military histories of the first half of the Twentieth Century.
In these three related novels Moorcock refrains from super science extrapolations of war weapons. In fact dirigibles are the weapon of choice in the assorted hostilities and play a critical role throughout all three books. For that reason Steampunk fans hold these books in high esteem.
Of great interest to this reader the author integrates himself as a character-narrator in these novels. Utilizing journals, letters and diaries from his grandfather, also named Michael Moorcock, he presents to us readers the adventures of Oswald Bastable. Insofar as there is considerable philosophical-political ruminations by Oswald Bastable one must conclude the author his turned aside from the narrative and is sharing his own closely held beliefs. Moorcock's themes include but are not limited too the madness of war, the ability of messianic madmen to manipulate otherwise sane people to perform horrendous deeds and the destructive force of blind adherence to isms.
Michael Moorcock is know and much admired for his talent to integrate characters and themes in his vast body of works spanning over 50 years and 70 plus novels. These three novels written early in his career contain themes, concept and characters that show up in many later works. I am referring to specifically Count von Beck, Mrs. Una Persson, and the Multiverse to name a few.
As an introduction to Moorcock's body of works this is a good place to start although I am partial to the Elric and Corum book series.

QUOTE….“He learned about pain and death from an ugly dying dog. It had been run over and lay by the side of the road…. To understand what the dog was saying he put his hand on its stumpy tail. “Who mandated this death for you?” he asked the dog. “What have you done?” “I did nothing,” the dog replied. “But this is a harsh death.” “Nonetheless,” the dog told him. “I am blameless.” The Divine Invasion”. Philip K. Dick
Vitraux, Cathedralis SS Michaelis et Gudulae
In 1370, according to the legend, holy communion wafers began to bleed after being stabbed with daggers by the Jews of Brabant at the synagogue in Brussels. The remains of the hosts were venerated for centuries as the Miraculous Sacrament (Sacrement du Miracle/Sacrament van Mirakel).
It is a fact that in May 1370 some six Jews living in Brussels and Leuven were burnt at the stake after being accused of the theft and desecration of the Blessed Sacrament (the so called ‘Blood Libel’). We know that Jewish property was confiscated, and that from the very beginning it was believed that the holy hosts had actually bled. Later on, in the XVIIth and XVIIIth centuries, it was asserted that in 1370 all Jews had been expelled forever from the Duchy of Brabant.
The guilt of the Jews was never established. On the contrary, it has never even been proven that the hosts had in fact been desecrated. Belief in the alleged miracle was the only justification for executing the Jews. Accusing the Jews lent credibility to the miracle. Moreover, the alleged miracle offered a sought-after opportunity to dispose of the Jews. For the faithful the ‘miracle’ served as a material sign and proof of the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Similar ‘Eucharistic Miracles’ connected with the presumed culpability of the Jews occurred elsewhere as well during the Middle Ages. Traces of red mildew on holy wafers were taken for traces of blood, the blood of Christ.
The legend of the Miraculous Sacrament is presented in many works of art in the cathedral. Especially to be mentioned are the XVIth century stained glass windows in the Sacrament chapel, which today holds the Cathedral treasury, where the reliquaries for the Miraculous Sacrament from different periods are on display. There are also the XVIIIth century tapestries in the choir, but these are not normally on display. Further, note the impressive series of fifteen XIXth century stained glass windows in the cathedral aisles. The last five windows of the northern aisle, near the chapel of the Miraculous Sacrament, portray the devotion to the Miraculous Sacrament from about 1436 till 1870. The first ten windows, eight in the southern aisle, starting at the front, and two in the rear of the northern aisle, represent the legend as it was handed down in Brussels since the middle of the XVth century. The legend runs as follows.
In autumn 1369 a prominent Jew from Enghien took the initiative of bribing a Jewish convert to Christianity to steal communion wafers, in order to desecrate them. Shortly afterwards he was murdered (windows 1-3). His widow passed the hosts to the Jews in Brussels, who stabbed them with daggers in their synagogue on Good Friday 1370. The sacred hosts began to bleed (windows 4 and 5). A Jewess who had converted to Christianity was bribed to conceal the hosts among the Jews of Cologne. But she repented and confessed the whole story to the rector of the “St. Mary’s Chapel” church in Brussels, giving him the miraculous hosts (windows 6-7). Based on the testimony of the Jewess (window 8) and after being judged by the Duke of Brabant the Jews were publicly burnt at the stake. The remaining Jews were expelled by the Duke from the Duchy of Brabant and their property confiscated (window 9). The miraculous sacrament was subsequently transferred in procession to the chapter church of St. Gudula (window 10).
The relic of the Miraculous Sacrament played a significant rôle as a national symbol for the Catholic identity of the country. The veneration of the relic served in public as a support for the struggle against Jews, Protestants and liberals. Charles V and the Habsburg family gave the XVIth century stained glass windows of the chapel of the Miraculous Sacrament. In the XVIIth century, Archdukes Albert and Isabella enriched the chapel with numerous gifts. Albert and Isabella are buried in front of the altar of the Miraculous Sacrament. Leopold I and Leopold II, the first Belgian kings, offered the first two XIXth century stained glass windows in the southern aisle. The other windows were given by the Belgian nobility.
After 1870 the relic was no longer of national significance. The local devotion to the Miraculous Sacrament however survived up to the Second World War. Moreover, the stained glass windows, paintings and tapestries kept the alleged history of the ‘blood libel’ alive. Only after the tragedy of the Holocaust, and under the influence of a more enlightened mentality, was a critical attitude with regard to this anti-Jewish medieval legend adopted in Catholic circles.

2014 May 2
Today one friend (Pro-Ukraine) missed being shot by less than a meter. Another (Pro-Russia) was beaten by opposing protesters. And another (Pro-Ukraine) was lit on fire by a Molotov cocktail. ...And I *saw* that last one as it happened on a livestream. And what happened at Odessa's Trade Union Building today is an absolute travesty. If you aren't paying attention to what has been happening, is happening, and what is still to come: you should be.
What is going on in Ukraine is sickening, and worsened in that at the start of this year these same people were friends. You don't throw rocks or tear up cobblestones, toss Molotovs or fill the bottles, fire bullets or stand beside them & expect none of that is intended to kill. Those of both sides who contribute to the carnage are as culpable as those who perform it.
Behind every front line of thugs is a mindless mob, and behind every mindless mob -- to some glimmer of hope -- are the good people, ignored, who will pickup the fallen and clean the mess of both sides.
Sgt. Richard G. Corden (left), (spokesperson for the 347 South Korean, U.S. and Briiish POWs who refused repatriation), and Andrew Condron (the only British soldier to remain) join in singing the Internationale at the peace hut in Panmunjom, Korea January 26, 1954.
The POWs came to the site of the negotiation of the cease fire that effectively ended the Korean War to make themselves available for western lournalists to interview.
As the Red Scare of the late 1940s and 1950s continued in the United States, the prisoners who refused repatriation were labeled as “brainwashed” and fear of communists’ ability to shape people’s minds was spread across the country.
However some were African Americans who did not wish to return to face racial discrimination. Others agreed with their hosts that communism represented a better hope for mankind than the capitalism of the United States.
Most, though ultimately had difficulty adapting to the culture and language of the host country and eventually returned to the United States.
Prisoner repatriation was one of the greatest stumbling blocks in the long cease-fire negotiations between the forces of the United Nations and those of China and North Korea.
In June 1953, the two sides agreed that no prisoner who did not wish to be repatriated would be forced to do so (this had long been a sticking point in negotiations, with the Chinese and North Koreans wanting all prisoners returned to their home countries).
Prisoners who did not wish to go back to their home countries would be given 90 days in a neutral compound near Panmunjom to reconsider before being allowed to stay in enemy territory. Following the armistice that was signed on 27 July 1953, effectively ending the Korean War (South Korea never signed), the main prisoner exchange was free to proceed.
One British and 23 American soldiers (along with 327 South Koreans) refused to be returned to their homelands. Two, Corporal Claude Batchelor and Corporal Edward Dickenson, changed their minds before the 90-day window expired. Both were court-martialed and sentenced to prison terms, with Batchelor serving 4½ years and Dickenson 3½.
This left 22 U.N. soldiers who voluntarily stayed with the Communists after the final exchange of prisoners. The 21 Americans were given dishonorable discharges.
This had the unintended consequence of rendering them immune to court-martial when they finally returned to the United States (which the majority eventually did), because they were no longer active-duty military. However, they were still criminally culpable for any acts of collaboration or offenses against fellow prisoners committed while they were POWs.
About 4 a.m. on February 24, 1954, a train carrying the 21 American defectors rumbled across the Yalu River into China. The Chinese soon shipped some of the men off to study language and politics. Others went to mills, factories, and farms across Eastern China.

MOTOR-CAR FATALITIES.
BOY OF EIGHT KILLED.
DIES IN A FEW MINUTES.
GREAT NORTH ROAD ACCIDENT.
A fatal motor-car accident occurred on the Great North Road : about seven o'clock last evening, the victim being an eight-year-old boy named Maurice Jonson, who resided with his mother in St. Andrew's Street, Archhill. A car driven by Mr. Leonard Smith, who resides at 23, Chapel Street, Archhill, was proceeding along the Great North Road in the direction of Newton. The boy Jonson and a girl were standing at the side of the road in the vicinity of Surrey Street, and as the car approached they were about to cross the street. On seeing the car, it is stated that they seemed to hesitate for a second or two. The girl remained in safety, but the boy attempted to cross the road in front of the car, which knocked him down, and, it is supposed, ran over him. The child, when picked up, was found to be severely injured about the head. He was removed to his home, and Dr. Share was sent for, but on the latter arriving he pronounced the boy to be dead. The body was removed to the morgue. The inquest will probably be opened to-day.

BOY KILLED BY MOTOR.
THE GREY LYNN FATALITY.
VERDICT BY THE CORONER
NO EVIDENCE OF BLAME.
The adjourned inquest; concerning the death of an eight-year-old boy, Maurice Jonson, who was knocked down by a motor-car on the Great North Road, near Surrey Street, about 7 p.m. on May 9, was held by Mr. J. E. Wilson, S.M., yesterday. At the time of the accident the car was proceeding along the road toward the city and the boy and a girl were on the way to St. Andrew's Street, where the boy resided with his mother. Senior-Sergeant Lanigan appeared for the police, and Mr. Jacobsen for the driver of the motor-car, John Leonard Lambert Smith, who resides in Keppell Street, Archhill.
Detective-Sergeant Issell produced a plan of the locality where the accident occurred, showing the route taken by the car, as given by the driver. Witness gave evidence regarding the condition of the road, which was being reconstructed in the vicinity. He also produced two statements made by the driver of the motor-car.
Dr. B.S. Share, who examined the body shortly after the accident, said that death was due to a comminuted compound fracture of the skull. It was apparent that death was instantaneous.
Mavis Jonson, aged 10, who lived with her sister, deceased's mother, said that she and deceased had walked on the right-hand side of the road till they reached Surrey Street. They were crossing the Great North Road, and were about in the centre of the roadway between the footpath and the tram rails when a light flashed into her face from the Grey Lynn side. Deceased had left her to run across the road just before she saw the lights. She called out, but did not know whether he heard or not. Witness remained where she was. When the car was nearly on deceased he stopped and seemed to step back and the car caught him. Witness did not notice the car slow up or hear the horn sounded. She did not see the driver swerve, and he seemed to keep on the tram rails on his right-hand side. Archie McLean, mental hospital attendant, said he was riding a bicycle toward Avondale between the tram rails on the left-hand side of the road. A motor-car, approached him from the opposite direction on the same side of the road. When he was about to turn off to the right he saw an object appear in front of the car which immediately swerved to the right. Then he heard a dull impact. Prior to the object appearing the car had not swerved. The distance from where the car struck the boy to where it pulled up was about 35 paces. The speed of the car did not appear excessive.
Martha Robinson said she saw a motor-car proceeding from Grey Lynn toward the city on the right-hand tram rails. She considered the car was going too fast at that time. She was not a judge of speed. As she went on to the road to board a tram she saw, the light of a bicycle approaching from the city. Then she saw the motor-car lift or tilt and heard a cry. The coroner's finding was that death was due to comminuted compound fracture of skull caused by deceased being run over by a motor-car driven by John Leonard Lambert Smith. Mr. Wilson said he could not understand why the driver was so far on the right-hand side of the street. It seemed to be that the side of the street which was being repaired was the right-hand side. He could not say on the evidence before him that the driver was to be blamed for the child's death.

MOTORIST ACQUITTED.
CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER.
THE QUESTION OF CARE.
GREAT NORTH ROAD FATALITY.
The hearing of the charge of manslaughter against John Leonard Lambert Smith (Mr. Jacobsen) in respect of the death of Maurice Jonson, a boy of eight, who was knocked down and killed in the Great North Road by a motor-car driven by accused on May 8, was concluded before Mr. Justice Herdman in the Supreme Court on Saturday.
His Honor, in summing up, said that in considering whether accused had been guilty of culpable negligence the jury would bear in mind that the element of danger was always in existence in large cities. All proper precautious might be taken by a driver and yet he might kill somebody. They could not hold a man to blame who was driving with care. He doubted very much whether being on the incorrect side of the road mattered very much in the present case. Accused had been on the wrong side for a certain distance. The road was full of difficulties owing to construction works, and he thought he might be excused for driving on the side he did till he got to Tennyson Street. Further along there another difficulty, owing to the road being scarified, and then there was a portion roped off.
At the time the accident happened there would be very little traffic about, and, in those circumstances, a man could not be expected to drive at the same slow speed as if he were in Lower Queen Street on a Friday night, when the streets were packed with people. The accused could not be expected to drive at five or six miles an hour; that would be ridiculous. He would consider 15 miles an hour quite a reasonable speed.
If accused were completely misled by the actions of the child he did not think the jury would come to the conclusion he had been guilty of culpable negligence. Accused had been frank and open throughout and had concealed nothing from the police. In this case the inference would surely be that the boy was going to stop until accused went by.
The statement of accused, continued His Honor, was supported by the evidence of a boy who saw the accident. If accused were travelling at a reasonable speed, and if he could not, in general circumstances have avoided the accident, he must be excused. If he exercised reasonable care he must be acquitted.
The jury, after deliberating for an hour and a-half, returned a verdict of not guilty. They asked His Honor to instruct prisoner to use a little more care than he did on the night in question.
His Honor: I am sure that is impressed on his mind by these proceedings. Accused was then discharged.

Today one friend (Pro-Ukraine) missed being shot by less than a meter. Another (Pro-Russia) was beaten by opposing protesters. And another (Pro-Ukraine) was lit on fire by a Molotov cocktail. ...And I *saw* that last one as it happened on a livestream. And what happened at Odessa's Trade Union Building today is an absolute travesty. If you aren't paying attention to what has been happening, is happening, and what is still to come: you should be.
What is going on in Ukraine is sickening, and worsened in that at the start of this year these same people were friends. You don't throw rocks or tear up cobblestones, toss Molotovs or fill the bottles, fire bullets or stand beside them & expect none of that is intended to kill. Those of both sides who contribute to the carnage are as culpable as those who perform it.
Behind every front line of thugs is a mindless mob, and behind every mindless mob -- to some glimmer of hope -- are the good people, ignored, who will pickup the fallen and clean the mess of both sides.

QUOTE: The seven eyes of Ningauble the Wizard floated back to his hood as he reported to Fafhrd: "I have seen much, yet cannot explain all. The Gray Mouser is exactly twenty-five feet below the deepest cellar in the palace of Gilpkerio Kistomerces. Even though twenty-four parts in twenty-five of him are dead, he is alive. "Now about Lankhmar. She's been invaded, her walls breached everywhere and desperate fighting is going on in the streets, by a fierce host which out-numbers Lankhmar's inhabitants by fifty to one and equipped with all modern weapons. Yet you can save the city." "How?" demanded Fafhrd. Ningauble shrugged. "You're a hero. You should know." Fritz Leiber, from "The Swords of Lankhmar"

I made these critters as a sort of practice session for myself in photoshop. I created them using almost entirely nothing but the photoshop presets. Most are made with the elliptical marquee tool. The tentacles for the squid and the octopus and the text on the hippo are the only non-preset inclusions! The legs on the bird for the Hippo Love are actually modified text!
