A poor shot which I will retake, but an interesting memorial to something I had not heard of before.
Bossingham Wood is now better know, to me and other snappers, as a place to get shot of Nuthatches, but was a place of violence 200 years ago.
------------------------------------------
The Battle of Bossenden Wood took place on 31 May 1838 near Hernhill in Kent; it has been called the last battle on English soil. The battle was fought between a small group of labourers from the Hernhill, Dunkirk, and Boughton area and a detachment of soldiers sent from Canterbury to arrest the marchers' leader, the self-styled Sir William Courtenay, who was actually John Nichols Tom, a Truro maltster who had spent four years in Kent County Lunatic Asylum. Eleven men died in the brief confrontation: Courtenay, eight of his followers and two of those sent to apprehend them.
Courtenay had appeared in Canterbury in 1832, standing unsuccessfully in the December 1832 general election and, although suspected of being an imposter, becoming a popular local figure. He had been convicted of perjury in 1833 after giving evidence in defence of some smugglers. Originally sentenced to transportation, he had been transferred to Barming Heath Asylum after a woman from Cornwall, Catherine Tom, identified him as her missing husband and said he had previously been treated for insanity.[1] On his release from the asylum in October 1837, instead of returning to his family in Cornwall, he stayed in Kent and built up a following in the area of Boughton under Blean, Hernhill and the Ville of Dunkirk. The area had already experienced agrarian discontent and protest against the New Poor Law of 1834 and the farm labourers, and a few of the smallholders and trades people, were receptive to Courtenay’s millenarian preaching and promises of a better life.[2]
On 29 May, Oak Apple Day, Courtenay and a band of followers began to march around the nearby countryside with a flag and a loaf of bread on a pole (a traditional symbol of protest).[3] Courtenay rode a grey horse; his followers were on foot. Although at this stage the protesters were acting peacefully some wealthier landowners were becoming alarmed, and on 31 May 1838, a local magistrate, Dr Poore, issued a warrant for Tom's arrest.[4] It is not clear exactly what the warrant was for – to arrest Courtenay or to arrest workers who were in breach of contract with their employers. [5] A parish constable, together with his brother, Nicholas Mears, and an assistant, went to find Courtenay at Bossenden Farm, where he was staying with his followers. Courtenay shot and killed the constable.
When news of the killing reached the magistrates, they sent to Canterbury for soldiers and a detachment of the 45th Foot was despatched from the barracks. It was led by Major Armstrong, with three junior officers and about a hundred soldiers. The regiment had recently returned from India, and the following year they would kill twenty Chartists at Newport. While they were waiting for the soldiers, a group of armed gentry and farmers took shots at Courtenay and his band as they moved around the Hernhill area.[7] By this time some of Courtenay’s followers had escaped. There were about 35 or 40 left, armed only with sticks, except for Courtenay who had pistols and a sword and one follower who had a pistol.[8]
The soldiers split into two groups to execute a pincer movement. One of the groups, led by Captain Reid and magistrates Knatchbull and Baldock, divided again, with Lieutenant Henry Boswell Bennett at the head of one of the small groups. It was this group that approached Courtenay’s band in the clearing, while the other group, under Major Armstrong and magistrate Poore, circled round to the far side of the clearing.[9] There was a brief fight, lasting only a few minutes. Courtenay shot Bennett dead and then was himself shot and killed as Armstrong’s men opened fire and charged with bayonets. Eight of Courtenay’s followers were killed or mortally wounded.[10] A young man from Faversham, George Catt, who had been helping the magistrates was caught in the soldiers’ fire and killed.
On Saturday 2 June Lieutenant Bennett was buried in Canterbury Cathedral precincts with full military honours.[12] On the same day an inquest at the White Horse, Boughton, returned a verdict of "justifiable homicide" on the deaths of Courtenay and his followers. Those who were following Courtenay and were killed were: Stephen Baker (22), William Foster (33), William Rye (46), Edward Wraight (62), Phineas Harvey (27), William Burford (33), George Griggs (23), and George Branchett (49). Griggs and Branchett were buried in Boughton churchyard; all the rest, including Courtenay, were buried in Hernhill churchyard.[13]
Over the following days about thirty of Courtenay’s followers were arrested and appeared either at the inquest or at the petty sessions in Faversham. Sixteen were committed for trial on a charge of murder. Ten men would eventually stand trial at Maidstone Assizes in early August, the rest having been discharged by the assize grand jury.[14] Two (Thomas Mears and William Price) were charged with the murder of the brother of the constable and nine (Thomas Mears, Edward Curling, Alexander Foad, William Foad, Richard Foreman, Thomas Griggs, Charles Hills, Edward Wraight, and William Wills) with the murder of Lieutenant Bennett, with one, Thomas Mears, charged with both murders.[15]
Thomas Mears and William Price stood trial first. The jury returned a guilty verdict, with a recommendation for mercy. The judge, Lord Denman, duly pronounced sentence of death but immediately told the men that the sentence would not be carried out. Seeing this result, the nine charged with the murder of Lieutenant Bennett pleaded guilty; they too were sentenced to death but immediately reprieved. Thomas Mears and William Wills were sentenced to be transported to Australia for life, William Price for ten years, and the rest were sentenced to a prison term of one year.

“I was the last one called (before HUAC). I would not answer some of their questions. I was so mad at this point because we knew this whole deal was a frame-up. So I challenged the Committee. I told them they had no business doing this, that it was unconstitutional. I was cited for contempt and sentenced to prison.”
1949. The United Electrical Workers Union (UE) experienced what may have been the most sustained attack against any union by government since the Industrial Workers of the World, decades earlier. The FBI, the Justice Department, the Atomic Energy Commission, the War and Navy Departments, the Subversive Activities Control Board, the Senate Judiciary Committee, and the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities (HUAC) undercut UE in its struggle against employers and against rival unions. It was just before the election of officers for Local 601 at the huge East Pittsburgh Westinghouse plant that HUAC called the progressive UE slate, including Tom Quinn, to its hearings in Washington. The newspapers ran headlines about “UE Reds” for or a week or more. Even so, the progressive slate won. It was only later, as Tom Quinn remembered, that “ the Supreme Court voted six to three for acquittal.”

In the heart of Vienna lies the abbey of Our Lady to the Scots, the habitat of Benedictine monks who know themselves addressed by this sentence from the book of Psalms in person.
By the aim of the search for God and by the concrete form of life the monks are associated with the many Benedictine monks and Benedictine nuns all over the world. In addition, they know themselves in solidarity with all people of good will, like them, seeking true life.

In the spirit of Benedictine hospitality the Schottenstift offers »monastery for a limited time", in the as a bed and breakfast run Benediktushaus guests from all over the world are welcome.

History of the Schottenstift
Duke Henry II Jasomirgott made Vienna the residence of Babenbergerreiches (Kingdom of the Babenberg). To emphasize the importance of the new capital, he convened in 1155 iroschottische (Irish-Scottish) monks from the St. Jakob monastery in Regensburg to Vienna. The new foundation in the first place should be a place of prayer, but then also a place where pilgrims and guests could find admission, a refuge for asylum seekers (the name "Freyung" still today reminds of that) and a center of cultural life.

In the years from 1160 to 1200 outside the former city limits arose a mighty Romanesque church, which was a lot bigger than today's church, and the eastern part of the Roman church reached about 25 meters beyond the east wall of the present house of worship. In 1200, the church and convent were consecrated by the Bishop of Passau Wolfger von Ellenbrechtskirchen. Already in 1276 much of this troublesome erected complex fell victim to a fire. Earthquakes in the years 1348 and 1443 again left traces of destruction. In the mid-15th Century thus arose a new monastery.

Deed of Foundation
The fundamental redesign of Scots Abbey falls in the 17th and 18th Century. 1648, the present church was completed, in the following decades the monastery complex was changed from its very foundations.
Decisive role in these buildings had Abbot Carl Fetzer (1705-1750). Today's "Schottenhof (Court)" under abbot Andreas Wenzel (1807-1831) by the architect Josef Kornhäusel was classicist redesigned. The intensive study of science and close ties to the in 1365 founded University of Vienna resulted yet in the times of irish-scottish monks in the emergence of a first library. Although from those roots today almost nothing remains, the number of medieval manuscripts and incunabula in the following centuries grew. In this regard, wrote Albert P. Huebl (1867-1931) all currently valid printed catalogs. During the reorganization of the monastery, a new library hall was built under Abbot Andreas Wenzel for printed books, whose current division Vincent P. Knauer (1828-1894) had created. Under his leadership, a handwritten nominal catalog of books was created in 1883.
In 1807 on the request of the emperor it came to the foundation of the "Schottengymnasium" which took up the old school tradition of the house on the Freyung and should it continue. The prestigious school has become a main area of work of the monks. Concerning the building structure, the two world wars the Schottenstift on the whole has survived intact, for the Convention itself they entailed great damage, be it the economic troubles after the first world war or the great human bloodletting in the years 1939 to 1945. Numerous brothers fell in the war or did not return, the gates of the school remained closed from 1938 to 1945. The Second Vatican Council for the Scots Abbey, too, entailed the profound reflection upon the peculiarities of the monastic life and the tasks, which a Benedictine community in the world of today should and can shoulder.

The Vienna Schottenstift on Freyung is among the most important Benedictine monasteries in Austria. Yet in the 15th Century, the Abbey of the Scots developed into a center of the Vienna spiritual and city life. Not coincidentally shows the Scots masters altar the first topographically correct view of the city of Vienna. The reign of Barockabtes (Baroque abbot) Carl Fetzer (1705-1750) was an economic and cultural heyday. The 1826-1832 by Josef Kornhäusel designed Prelature now houses the "Museum in the Abbey of the Scots". In addition to an extensive collection of paintings, furniture, tapestries, vestments and liturgical utensils and vestments, it shows an impressive documentation of the monastery history.

The high altar of the original Gothic collegiate church was removed about 1640. Today, the altar of the "Wiener Scots Master (Schottenmeister)", originating from 1469 to 1480, is a masterpiece of late Gothic painting in Austria and the center of the museum in Schottenstift. History, development process, workshop operations, among others, illustrates an informative documentary, which complement the successor works to Flemish painting of the 17th Century by Josse de Momper the Younger and David Vinckboons.
In Schottenstift the Interested visitor finds in addition to major religious paintings (among others by Peter Paul Rubens, Jan Cossiers and Giovanni Battista Pittoni), portrait and landscape painting of the 17th and 18th Century (eg by Johann Christian Brand, Christian Seybold, Christoph Paudiss and Simon de Vos) and Vienna Biedermeier painting by Johann Baptist Drechsler, Johann Knapp, Thomas Ender and Johann Peter Krafft. Works of the Dutch and Austrian still life painting of the 17th and 18th Century complement the valuable private collection. The large-sized former Baroque high altar painting by Joachim von Sandrart »The heavenly glory" (1671) in Prälatensaal is, like the lecture hall with works of Austrian baroque painters, as Peter Paul Strudel and Tobias Pock, integrated into the museum complex.

A woman, a brawl, and a bloody death
The little township of Henderson was abuzz with speculation on the morning of October 14, 1902.
Its occupants awoke to the news that a man's body had been found lying in a pool of blood, alone in a paddock.
Police soon established the identity of the deceased.
He was Jeremiah Driscoll – a 35-year-old gumdigger who'd lived at Don Buck's camp, a short distance from where he gasped his last breath.
The camp was notorious as a den of iniquity and was home to numerous exconvicts employed by its owner Francisco Rodrigues “Don Buck” Figueira. Many had arrived there straight from Mt Eden prison after being given free passage out west and the promise of work and accomodation.
Driscoll was typical – a drifter who'd spent much of his adult life in and out of trouble – no stranger to jail or violence.
The full extent of his criminal past is unclear but records show a Jeremiah Driscoll up before the courts numerous times over a 20-year period charged with vagrancy, larceny, robbery, assault and drunkeness in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
It is no surprise to learn that he appeared in court on the day before his death fully expecting to receive a short custodial sentence on a charge of bad language.
So he was in doubt in high spirits when the magistrate dismissed the case and let him walk free.
Driscoll headed back west to share the news with friends, including Alice Hartley – a woman he'd been living with for a number of months.
Alice was not expecting to see him so soon and had already switched her romantic attentions to a man named John Baxter.
Both were in a hotel at 10pm on the evening of Driscoll's return when Alice made her new arrange- ments known. Driscoll was outraged and threatened both parties with violence. Baxter responded by throwing him out of the pub.
Witnesses told police about the altercation after Driscoll's corpse was located a few hours later and Baxter soon found himself in court facing a charge of murder.
He said Driscoll had made good on his earlier threats by attacking him with an axe later in the evening.
Baxter said he'd punched Driscoll directly in the face – a powerful blow that dropped his assailant and ultimately resulted in death.
The jury had its doubts over the accussed's version of events and spent five hours deliberating over his fate.
But no one could agree on a verdict and a second trial was held a few weeks later.
The new jurors took just five minutes to find Baxter not guilty of a lesser charge of manslaughter charge saying he'd used reasonable force to protect himself from harm.
Baxter was let loose and the case was laid to rest.
Driscoll was buried at Waikumete Cemetery.
What about the other players in the story? An Alice Hartley of Henderson Valley appeared before the courts in 1915 aged 49 on charges of prostitution and breaking a prohibition order. The arresting police officers said she'd been seen “accosting” several men in Cook St and doing a “shocking good trade”.

Death After Hotel Drinking Session
An inquest on the body of Jeremiah Driscoll was held at Henderson yesterday. The accused, John Baxter was not in attendance.
William Mathieson, licensee of the Henderson Hotel, deposed that the deceased came into his bar on Monday after the arrival of the evening train. Among others in the bar at the time a woman named “Trixie” Hartley and three men.
The witness heard a smack, and looking around saw the woman put her hand up to her face and Driscoll run outside. Baxter and others followed him but returned to the bar again shortly with the deceased, who remained at the hotel until 9.45 then left about the same time as Baxter and others left for a house at Kennedy's camp.
Witnesses saw Baxter the following morning after Driscoll's body had been found. He told witness that when they went to Kennedy's, “Trixie” and Driscoll started to wrangle and he (Baxter) to Driscoll that he wasn't wanted and that he ought to “get” out. At that, deceased rushed away, picked up an axe and using bad language threatened to “do for” Baxter, and came for him. Baxter then “hauled off” and knocked Driscoll down and walked inside the house. When deceased left the hotel he was quite sober.
Alice Hartley, a single woman, deposed to having lived with deceased for the past two years. She corroborated the evidence of the previous witness as to the disturbance in the hotel. When they got to Kennedy's deceased asked her to leave and go to their home at Buck's camp but she refused to go and deceased attempted to strike her.
Baxter interferred, saying “The girl is welcome here, but you are not”. He then caught Driscoll by the shoulders and put him out on to the verandah. Witness heard deceased say “I have an axe here and I will kill you”.
When Driscoll picked up the axe Baxter hit deceased over the left eye and knocked him down, Driscoll then got up and went away on the road.
Constable Gordon gave evidence as to seeing the body of deceased lying on raised ground between the roadway and the fence in Smythe's paddock about 75 yards from Kennedy's house.
The jury returned a verdict to the effect that death was due to the blow delivered by John Baxter. The foreman stated that in arriving at this verdict the jury did not consider that murder was premeditated.

SAD BURNING ACCIDENT
AN OLD LADY IN FLAMES
Mrs. Driscoll, an old lady 63 years of age, residing in Yelverton Terrace off Grey-street, was the victim of a burning accident last night of so serious a nature that she now lies in in a critical condition. A little before ten o'clock Mr. T. P. Tester, a neighbour was startled by hearing screams from Mr. John Driscoll's house, and hurrying across, he burst open the door and discovered Mrs. Driscoll enveloped in flames. He immediately threw a sack round her, and with the assistance of several other neighbours, who had been attracted by the cries of the unfortunate lady, the flames were quickly extinguished. Dr. King was sent for and was quickly on the spot, but the extent of the burns, reaching from the waist upward, induced him to order her immediate removal to the hospital.
It is surmised that Mrs. Driscoll who is partly paralysed and very feeble, got out of bed for something, and that in the act of lighting the candle her flannelette nightdress came into contact with the flame. Mr. Tester suffered considerably from burns himself, his hands being badly scorched and his face singed, his clothing also catching fire. Mr Driscoll was asleep at the time, and is unable to say anything further about the occurrence than the fact that he awoke to find Mr. Tester in the act of bursting into the room to his wife's assistance. Upon inquiry at the hospital to-day it was ascertained that Mrs. Driscoll's condition is so serious as the result of the burns and shock that little hope is held out of her recovery.

The coroner (Mr. T. Gresham) held an inquest at the hospital yesterday into the cause of the death of Mary Driscoll married woman, who died in that institution on Wednesday evening, from burns received at her residence, Yelverton Terrace, off Cook-street, on Tuesday last. John Driscoll, husband of the deceased gave evidence that Mrs. Driscoll was 63 years of age, and very feeble. On Tuesday evening deceased was in bed, and he was asleep in the same room. He was suddenly awakened by Mr. Tester breaking into the room. He then saw his wife enveloped in flames, and the shock caused him to faint. Dr. King deposed that he was sent for on Tuesday night last. He saw the deceased sitting in a chair in front of a fire, very badly burnt. He ordered her removal to the hospital. Isabelle Garity a young woman, stated that on the evening in question she saw deceased at about nine o'clock. In the room an oil-lamp was burning, and embers were in the fireplace. Shortly after she left the house she heard screams, and saw flames in the room occupied by Mrs. Driscoll. A young man named Rockley burst in the door and threw a sack over Mrs. Driscoll. The lamp was still burning when she returned. The deceased had on a flannetette nightdress. Thomas Tester stated that on Tuesday night he heard cries for help, and on going out saw Mrs. Driscoll in flames which he and others extinguished. Charles Rockley also gave evidence. Dr. Herbert Goldstein, acting-resident surgeon at the hospital, stated that Mrs. Driscoll died from collapse due to injuries from burns. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death.

Essen like Cologne is but a half hour away from Dusseldorf. It is a city of some 567,000 down from a high 730,000 in 1962. Essen history has been tied to the Krupp dynasty and synonymous with the making of steel and armaments. Steel is still produced here but no more armaments. The 20th century Russian dictator took the name Stalin for himself (not his real name) which means man of steel. However the real man of steel in the 19th century was Alfred Krupp. His father Friedrich founded a steel foundry in Essen in 1810. However, it was his son Alfred (1812-!887) who forged it into a mighty company which by 1900 had become the largest single company in Europe with some 20,000 employees. By 1880 half of its output was in armaments, making Alfred “the cannon king”. Not the image of an industrial tycoon from that age, as he championed good working conditions for his employees including subsidized housing, health and retirement benefits. In the 20th century the company was headed by Gustav Krupp von Bohlen who married into the family and later by his son Alfred. The Krupp works supplied the arms in the first world war and was the muscle that supported Hitler enabling him to run roughshod and perpetrate all those horrible deeds throughout Europe. After the war at the Nuremberg trials Alfred was tried and was found guilty of war crimes and sentenced to 12 years in prison for using and mistreating slave labor in his factories and for plunder. He was released after three years as it was felt he could play a beneficial role in the rebuilding of Germany. However the heydey of industrial magnates had been winding down. In 1968 the company became a corporation and was no longer to be totally dominated by Krupps. In 1999 the company merged with Thyssen and became ThyssenKrupp AG making it Germany’s fifth largest firm and remains today one of the largest steel producers in the world.. Yet times have changed and companies have had to be streamline to adapt to new conditions which is reflected by Essen’s population decline and the closing of inefficient factories in the area.
Essen like other Ruhr cities in particular were heavily bombed but then rebuilt quickly after the war. So, Essen, too can not be thought of as a beautiful city. We would be visiting Essen not for anything associated with steel, armaments or Krupp, but to see an ultra modern piece by a new age architect who went by the name of Hundertwasser (his real name was Friedensreich Stowasser) whose work borders on sheer fantasy. He was born in Austria in 1928 although he became Nnew Zealander later in life. I had seen works by him in Vienna and Darmstadt and was very much impressed with his in armaments, making Alfred “the cannon king”.

He was born in Austria in 1928 although he became New Zealander later in life. I had seen works by him in Vienna and Darmstadt and was very much impressed with his very different work, the antithesis of the modern steel, glass, and concrete functional box type buildings. Life was a balancing act for the young Hundertwasser. His mother was Jewish which would have qualified him for the gas chambers and a premature death. He got away with it as his father was not Jewish and he even joined the Hitler youth. His work reflects his anti authoritarian outlook on life. He loved color, disdained straight lines and embraced the whimsical. He died in the year 2000.
The house he designed was only completed after his death and opened in 2005. It is a rehabilitation center for seriously ill children and goes by the name Ronald McDonald House. It was funded by the Ronald McDonald Foundation which has built a number of rehabilitation houses around the world. The inside of the house was off limits fir visitors without special permission and is nestled inside Gruga Botanical Gardens. It is reached from the Hauptbahnhof (Hbf) by the U11 metro and getting off at Messe Ost/Gruga.
It took some walking in the botanical gardens to get to the Hundertwasser Haus. It was a bright yellow with red trim house nestled in greenery and every bit as fairy tale story book like as would be expected from the designer.
A Seattle man was sentenced to 30 days in jail on Friday after a drone he was operating injured two people during the city’s 2015 Pride Parade. Paul M. Skinner was found guilty of reckless endangerment in the incident, which left one woman unconscious.

Six Years of Rohingya Refugee Crisis in Bangladesh: From Here to Where?
www.spf.org/apbi/news_en/b_240627.html
The Rohingyas are a Muslim minority from the North Rakhine State in western Burma. Over the past forty years, the Burmese government has systematically stripped over 1 million Rohingya of their citizenship. Recognized as one of the most oppressed ethnic groups in the world, the Rohingya are granted few social, economic and civil rights. They are subjected to forced labor, arbitrary land seizure, religious persecution, extortion, the freedom to travel, and the right to marry. Because of the abuse they endure in Burma, hundreds of thousands of Rohingya have fled Burma to seek sanctuary in neighboring Bangladesh. In the refugee camps along the south east coast where they settle, most are not recognized as refugees and are considered illegal economic migrants. Unwanted and unwelcome, they receive little or no humanitarian assistance and are vulnerable to exploitation and harassment. In recent years, the Rohingya have paid brokers to smuggle them by boat from Bangladesh to Malaysia and even beyond to Australia, sparking the attention of governments throughout the region.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has confirmed that the statelessness of the Rohingya is not just a Burma-related problem, but a problem with larger regional implications.

Vancouver, Canada joins international emergency protests
following sentencing of Chelsea Manning!
Activists and supporters of Chelsea Manning (formerly
Bradley Manning) came together on August 21st on less than 24 hours
notice to protest the unjust prison sentence of 35 years handed down to
Manning. Mobilization Against War and Occupation (MAWO) set up an information
table in downtown Vancouver while supporters held picket signs, collected
petition signatures and passed out brochures with information about the case
and sentencing. There was an unprecedented response of passer-bys in support of
Manning, and the info table and petitioners were constantly busy with people
signing the petition and expressing their opposition to the outrageous
sentencing.
The action caught the attention of Vancouver’s main news
talk radio station CKNW, who sent a reporter to cover the action. Supporter’s
chants of “Free Bradley Manning Now!” were recorded as well as an interview
with MAWO co-chair Janine Solanki. Coverage of the protest was aired on the
evening news and repeated throughout the night to the next morning on this
widely listened to station.
Vancouver supporters of Chelsea Manning and Mobilization
Against War and Occupation are ready to continue the fight to free Chelsea
Manning, and will be protesting again with a rally and petition campaign this
Saturday August 24th, in the same location in front of the Vancouver
Art Gallery in Downtown Vancouver.
The sentencing hearing for Maria Butina on 2/26/19 ended up with delaying her sentencing for another month, since the prosecutors said that she was continuing to cooperate with them. Here, her attorney Robert Driscoll speaks to reporters after the hearing. He said that she was doing well in jail, and that he did not expect any additional charges to be levied against her.
