THE LAST SENTENCE TO DEATH BY FIRE
Klemus Bjarnason lived in the area around HólmavÃk and was charged with sorcery and evildoing in 1690 and sentenced to death by fire. Judging from the available material Klemus was not a very popular man but the original accusation concerned a piece of driftwood which he was rumoured to have stolen.
Klemus didn't care for the accu-sations and swore according to witnesses that he would revenge himself if found guilty. His neigh-bours saw evidence of his powers in the fact that at least two women fell ill after he uttered the threat and Klemus was promptly accused of witchcraft. It wasn't until he had been judged guilty and was on his way to Pingvellir that Klemus recited for the sheriff an invocation to prevent foxes harming sheep and for this he was condemned to death.
His luck was that while awaiting sentence the king had issued a decree stating that all capital offences must be put to the
newly installed Supreme Court in Copenhagen. Consequently the sentence was changed into one of exile and Klemus died in prison in Copenhagen a year later.
Invocations and charms against the arctic fox are numerous in grimoires and folklore. This sequence of characters was to be carved on oak which then was either tied to the wool on the neck of the sheep or put under the threshold of the sheep house. Evidently foxes were a real threat to the livelihood of the people of Strandir since they are a feature in a number of cases in the area.
A map of the area inside the museum shows how people on farms all around SteingrÃmsfjörður were involved in the case, some sitting in court, others appearing as witnesses. The present inhabitants will have little difficulty in tracing their ancestry to some of these persons.
The Honourable Mr Justice Pepperpall sentenced two Leicestershire drug dealers at Oakham Castle Court on Friday, October 6, 2023.
The judge also set a date for a trial for Tyler Wright.
He sentenced Leicester University student Jay Shah to an 80-hour community order for dealing drugs. It was accepted that Shah was a low-level dealer and sold drugs to fund his own habit. £600 that was found after his arrest was forfeited and drugs and a mobile phone were confiscated and the judge ordered their destruction.
Callum Noon, (whose 28th birthday was today) the second drug dealer, was handed two custodial sentences, suspended for 12 months. His drugs, mobile phone, scales, and a knife were confiscated and the judge ordered those items should be destroyed. Noon received a 6-month suspended sentence for carrying a blade in a public place, although it was accepted that Noon did not realise the small knife attached to a key ring would be illegal for him to carry in his rucksack. The judge pointed out that ignorance of the law is no excuse, and that the law is clear that no bladed article can be carried in public.
Before the court session at Oakham Castle, on Friday, October 6th, 2023, the High Sheriff of Rutland, Geraldine Feehally, hosted a Justice Service for the County of Rutland at All Saints' Church in Oakham.
The Justice Service is a traditional service of prayer and thanksgiving for all who have the responsibility of administering justice, ensuring safety and security, and promoting peaceful communities.
Before the service, at 9:45 am, a procession from Oakham Castle included members of the judiciary, military, civic High Sheriff's, and other local officials walked to the church, where they were welcomed by a brass fanfare.
The service was led by the Reverend Stephen Griffiths, Team Rector of Oakham.
The Justice Service is an important event in Rutland, held every two years.
Oakham Castle has been used as a court of law since at least 1229, and is the longest-running seat of justice in England. In 1264, the Great Hall was damaged by fire during the Second Baron's War. However, it was repaired and continued to be used as a court of law.
In the 16th century, Oakham Castle became the seat of the Justices of the Peace for Rutland. The Justices held their regular court sessions in the hall, and also used it for other administrative purposes.
Today, Oakham Castle is still used as a Crown Court once every two years. It is also a popular tourist attraction, and is open to the public for visits.
In addition to its legal use, Oakham Castle has also been used for a variety of other purposes over the centuries. It has been used as a banqueting hall, a meeting place for the local government, and even a prison and a place to get married.
Oakham Castle is an important part of the history of Oakham and Rutland. It is a beautiful and historic building that has played a significant role in the life of the community for centuries.

My struggling to comprehend such a sentence has nothing to do with how much previous knowledge I have on the French Revolution. This is just really shitty sentence structure.

Going back further, others whisper quietly that it was their sound which inspired the Rolling Stones’ to record "Exile on Main Street." I have even heard it said that there 1994 masterpiece called "Let’s work it out, it will cost less in the long run" was the driving force behind the move towards the resolution of legal disputes through mediation.

Israel sentences Palestinian lawmaker to 15 months in prison An Israeli military court has sentenced Khalida Jarrar, the prominent leftist activist and legislator, to 15 months in prison.

She was held without charge or trial under a six-month administrative detention order. Following international outcry, the detention order was reduced to just over one month and she was handed a list of charges related to her prisoner advocacy work and activism.

When I put Elly down for a nap, Maya waits for me to do phonics with her by sitting at her little Grandpa-crafted table and chairs and playing with letter magnets. (She chose these magnets; I offered her dress-up doll magnets, but she didn't want them!) These are the sentences she decided to write, on her own.
