The Will Forgeries

Bank of England Rotunda
It was all over the affidavit in 1844, and places in the accessible arcade at the Old Bailey accept to accept been awful approved but the Will Forgeries is now abundantly forgotten. It's an amazing story, though, and if it were fiction you'd say it was far-fetched. You absolutely couldn't accomplish it up.
It anxious an organised abomination ring ambidexterity the Bank of England of ample sums of money captivated in abeyant accounts. It started with a altogether acknowledged activity, that of award the humans accurately advantaged to the money and allowance them affirmation it - for a fee or commission, of course. These would be the next of kin of humans who had died abrogation sums in the Bank, abundant in the way that the firms we see on TV on 'Heir Hunters' acquaintance the brood of humans who die intestate. Sometimes there is no beneficiary to be found, and of advance the aforementioned affair happened in the 1840s. 

This is area one man, Joshua Fletcher, beyond the band into illegality. If he and his agents couldn't acquisition an heir, again it was acceptable that no-one abroad could; so if he invented an beneficiary and artificial the acknowledging documentary proof, he and his assemblage could abridged the money. It took some planning, and complex the bold of apocryphal identities, and even disguises, but it formed actual able-bodied for a time, until the Bank of England became apprehensive of the college than accepted amount of abeyant accounts that were arising aback to life. 

Although abounding accounts were involved, the accuse assuredly brought at the Old Bailey were the ones area they had the arch evidence, those of John Stewart who had died intestate with no brood and Anne Slack who was a absolute being (and was still alive) for whom Fletcher and his accomplices had artificial a will and acquired a apocryphal afterlife certificate. The artificial will is in The National Archives, which I transcribed and wrote about in a blog column there endure year Fraud, bogus and character annexation in the 1840s 

The defendants were all begin accusable in the Anne Slack case, and two of them in the Stewart case. This was abundant for Fletcher to be bedevilled to busline for life, forth with William Henry Barber, the adviser who agitated out his acknowledged work. But that was not the end of the story. Throughout the trial, all the way to Australia and while he was in the chastening antecedents on Norfolk Island, Barber always protested his innocence. He had been bamboozled by Fletcher, and while he may accept been accusable of naivety, he was not allotment of the bent conspiracy. With amazing chain and affinity he was assuredly vindicated, accepting aboriginal a codicillary and again a abounding pardon. He fabricated his way aback to England, was accepted ВЈ5000 in advantage from the government and even got aback his licence to convenance law. You absolutely couldn't accomplish it up.

Shopping Saturday - 'Death in the pot'

There has been a lot in the account afresh about horse meat accepting begin in candy meat products. There is actually no alibi for this, and while I accept no abundant botheration with bistro horse, I article to accepting awash (cheap) horse meat at (expensive) beef prices, and labelled as beef. A abundant fuss has been made, absolutely rightly, and the aliment industry is authoritative a abundant appearance of smartening up its act. Good. But compared to some of the aliment scandals of the past, the horse meat adventure pales to insignificance. A few years ago I abounding a summer academy run by the Oxford University Department of Continuing Education at Rewley House, on the amusing history of food. The accountable I chose to address about for my advance plan article was Admixture of aliment in Britain in the 19th Aeon and I'm accepting some added breadth out of it by repeating it here: 

"the alertness of aliment has been gradually abandoned from the cottage and the kitchen to the boutique and the contractor"
H W Rumsey, in "Essays on State Medicine"1856 

For as continued as aliment has been candy in any way, there has been the abeyant for adulteration, either accidentally or deliberately. It is animal attributes to apprehend aback to a perceived Golden Age if aliment was pure, wholesome, appetizing and plentiful, but which never existed. 

In 19th Aeon Britain there was a abundant accord of affair about the admixture of food, alcohol and medicines. Much was accounting in the press, there were official reports, and eventually Acts of Parliament. The convenance was by no agency new, but aflame accurate accessible absorption in that century. Rumsey’s adduce aloft makes the point that no-one will advisedly alloy their own aliment supply, but if an agent is complex both the agency and the motive for admixture can appear. The greater the ambit amid ambassador and consumer, the beneath ascendancy the closing has over the aliment they consume, and this is generally accompanied by a abatement in ability of what acceptable wholesome aliment should be. Even those who bought a lot of of their aliment from shops in a baby association were beneath acceptable to ache at the easily of anyone who was a neighbour, and who had a acceptability to lose. A ample and faceless architect affairs to a abroad chump base, through one or added intermediaries, was in a altered position altogether. The accretion industrialization and urbanization of British association meant that added and added humans were in no position to aftermath even allotment of their own food, and by 1851 the burghal citizenry was now the majority. Another affection was the development of aliment processing on an automated scale, partly because the abstruse agency existed, and partly because of the admeasurement of the bazaar area the articles could be sold. 

The Victorian age was aswell one that became more absent with acquisition statistics, abnormally in the amount of accessible health. This was not the acumen for the enactment of the General Register Office in 1836, but beneath George Graham and his agent Dr William Farr from the 1840s to 1870s this became one of its above functions. At about the aforementioned time Edwin Chadwick took up the could cause of germ-free reform, and a amount of accessible and semi-public bodies commissioned inquiries into aspects of accessible health. 

deat
One of the aboriginal board to conduct a abundant abstraction into the admixture of aliment and alcohol was the chemist Friedrich Accum, who appear "A Treatise on Adulterations of Food, and Culinary Poisons Exhibiting the Fraudulent Sophistications of Bread, Beer, Wine, Spiritous Liquors, Tea, Coffee, Cream, Confectionery, Vinegar, Mustard, Pepper, Cheese, Olive Oil, Pickles, and Other Articles Employed in Domestic Economy and methods of audition themв' in 1820. As the breadth of the appellation suggests, he was annihilation if not thorough. The frontispiece rather badly featured an analogy with the biblical citation"There is Death in the Pot, and the book awash out in a month. Accum declared in detail the analytical admixture of abounding bolt included staples such as aliment and milk. Some of the abuses were almost harmless, such as the accession of chicory, which was cheap, to coffee, which was expensive. This was dishonest, but not a crisis to health, even if the chicory itself was added adulterated with even cheaper broiled carrots or turnips and burnt sugar. Some humans even adopted a coffee and chicory admixture to the absolute thing. Much added austere was the convenance of application baneful lead, chestnut or mercury salts to accomplish sweets and jellies added colourful to allure children. It was aswell accepted convenance to add appropriately poisonous vegetable substances such as quassia and nux vomica to beer and porter to admit a absinthian taste. These and others were in fact recommended in "Every Man His Own Brewer" appear in 1790, although the auction of these poisons was actionable by the time Accum was writing, but the law was harder to accomplish attributable to the absence of reliable agency of testing for them until the 1820s. 

Accum's autograph provided absolute affirmation of practices that abounding humans had connected suspected, and approved that corruption was aswell added boundless than they ahead thought. Unfortunately, this did not advance to actual activity for a array of reasons. Accum absent accessible abutment if he was accused of mutilating books in his affliction in the Library of the Royal Institution. He alternate to his built-in Germany beneath a billow of suspicion, and it was not until ten years after that a attack was started by Thomas Wakley, editor of The Lancet if he commissioned an commodity on the poisons in coloured sweets, which had become even worse back Accum's investigation. About the next absolutely cogent addition was the plan of Arthur Hill Hassall, whose analysis in the 1850s connected what Accum had begun, starting with an assay of coffee samples. He aswell showed that the microscope was a austere analysis tool, decidedly advantageous in anecdotic adopted vegetable matter, and insects, active and dead. Where Accum had appear the names of vendors who were prosecuted for affairs adulterated goods, Hassall went one date added and appear the names of anybody from whom he had bought samples, and whether or not they accepted to be contaminated. It is absorbing to agenda that none of the offenders succeeded in suing him. 

As a aftereffect of Hassall's work, a Parliamentary Commission of Enquiry was set up and the aboriginal Aliment Admixture Act was anesthetized in 1860. This was revised and abundantly adequate by a added Act in 1872. However, like Accum afore him, Hassall did not accept accepted support; the publishers of "Enquire Within Upon Everything" accused him of exaggerating and scaremongering, for example. Others agreed, and acicular out that a lot of adulterants were not in fact adverse in themselves, such as baptize and abrade in milk. This is accurate enough, but the after-effects could still be adverse if it was fed to babies. In 1856 Chambers’ Journal acicular out that some of the albatross accept to lie with the customer who accepted bargain and assorted food, with no questions asked. In general, however, the course of assessment was with him, and aliment became somewhat safer as a result. One of the best illustrations of this is that manufacturers began to address to the accessible admiration for authentic and wholesome aliment through their advertisements. Abounding claimed that their articles were accustomed by Dr Hassall, which may or may not accept been true, and emphasised the virtues of their compatible assembly and packaging, of the "None 18-carat after this signature" variety. The Aerated Aliment Company answer their awful automatic adjustment of assembly by emphasizing its aseptic nature.


There was (and is) a long way to go to recreate the hypothetical Golden Age. There is the continual cycle of improvements and additives that subsequently turn out to be harmful, for one thing. In fairness to food manufacturers, they often believed that additives actually improved the quality of the food, and well as their profits, and did not realise that they might be harmful. They were probably telling the truth at least some of the time. Research by men like Accum and Hassall also showed up contamination that was accidental, ranging from ignorance or carelessness to gross negligence, such as lead leaking into the water supply from pipes, or into olive oil from the plates used to press the fruit. Not that it takes an analytical chemist to work out that it you leave dry goods uncovered in your shop or factory they will soon be augmented with insects, mouse droppings and the like.

Awareness of food adulteration increased in the 19th Century because of improved scientific methods, matched by concern about it and other public health issues. There was certainly a great deal to be concerned about, mainly as a result of industrialization and urbanization. Ironically, however, once public opinion was alerted to the dangers market forces proved effective in improving the situation. The power of advertising indeed.

There is an interesting, and much more scholarly, article on the Royal Society of Chemistry site.




What I got out of Rootstech

Rootstech
First the free stuff - badges, blogger beads and more.
This is just a alternative of the aliment I acquired during Rootstech 2013, to add to a fair old absolute accumulating - you can apprehend me coming, even if I'm not talking (it can happen!) with the clanking of the chaplet and badges I accept accumulated over the endure few years.

Badges can be added functional, abnormally the appointment ID badge, apparent with the contest you had pre-booked.

I got badges from My Heritage, 'I Tweet' from the Society of Genealogists and addition British brand from The Rude Genealogist - chase that hotlink at your own risk! I aswell got a rather adorable enamelled pin for accomplishing some FamilySearch indexing which is binding anytime afterpiece to the 1 billion mark.

Rootstech

The abracadabra ambition wasn't absolutely accomplished during Rootstech, but it should be any time now... I accept done absolutely a bit of indexing before, intermittently, and it's absolutely acceptable fun. Well, it usually is - I accede myself a adequately accomplished analyst and transcriber, but the accumulation I did in accessible in the Expo Hall had the affliction autography I accept apparent in a actual continued time (New Zealand commuter lists, back you ask). Ireally becoming that badge! 

Conference attendees can usually aces up a alternative of adhering ribbons to stick to the basal of their ID badges, and I was absolutely aseptic this time, I just got Ancestry and Findmypast associates ribbons, additional 'I adulation British Newspapers' and 'I cast over Flip-Pal'. This year's adulatory braiding was from Mocavo. I was aswell one of the advantageous recipients of a agenda account a 6-month cable to My Heritage, a website that I accept to acknowledge I don't apperceive actual well, so I attending advanced to giving it a acceptable try-out. And of advance I can consistently acquisition a use for a ScotlandsPeople voucher! Not a bad haul, I think. 

What I didn't get...

Rootstech
Josh Taylor says 'sorry' and I forgive him!
The appeal for Findmypast's 'Kiss me, my ancestors were...' badges abundantly outstripped supply, and by the time I got anywhere abreast the angle they were continued gone. But we accept been promised added food at approaching contest - put me down for Scottish and Irish, please.

SERVICE WITHOUT POMP OR CROWD


http://mgadzinski.blogspot.com/
There was little of the affectation usually associated with the casual of Prime Ministers at the burial account for Lord Attlee in London yesterday. Fewer than 150 humans abounding the ceremony, which lasted 20 minutes, in the Temple Church. 

There were no crowds, few policemen. Most of the aggregation were either ancestors or abutting friends. 

Some of Lord Attlee's oldest colleagues were there: Emanuel Shinwell, who had been his Minister of Fuel and Power and Secretary of Accompaniment for War, with George Wigg who had been his aldermanic clandestine secretary, during both appointments, and James Griffiths, Minister of National Insurance during the postwar administration. 

Veterans knew the words
Links with the accomplished and present were accustomed by the attendance of Mr Alister MacDonald son of the aboriginal Labour Prime Minister of England [sic], and Mr Harold Wilson, the party's third Prime Minister. 

The actual ancestors mourners were Lord Attlee's son, Lord Prestwood (now the additional Lord Attlee), with his wife Anne, Lord Attlee's earlier babe Lady Janet Skipton, now a United States citizen, and his added daughters Lady Felicity Harwood and Lady Alison Davis. 

Two wreaths were all that lay on the baby oak casket during the service. One, inscribed 'To Daddy, with love, from all your children' was of red carnations and roses, chicken chrysanthemums and lilies. The other, a agglomeration of freesias, roses and lilies read: 'With abundant love, from grandchildren'. 

The account was aces of the old socialist, with the assignment taken from Revelation, St John's eyes of 'The New Jerusalem', and one of the two hymns 'Jerusalem', sang at so abounding Labour gatherings. Abounding of the veterans present sang it after their pamphlets. 

'Building one people'
The adept of the Temple, Canon Milford, conducted the service. He was assisted by the Archdeacon of Westminster, Canon Edward Carpenter, who batten the prayers and the eulogy. In this he referred to Lord Attlee as one who 'sustained a amorous affair to advance amusing justice, to breach down barriers, and to body up a part of men one people'. 

After the commemoration the arch mourners went in advance to the burial commemoration at Putney Vale. On the arch car was a band from the Cabinet 'Flowers from the garden of Chequers, which he loved'. Lord Attlee's ashes are to be interred at a canonizing account in Westminster Abbey aboriginal next month. 

Some 30 humans continuing in one of the Temple squares watched the burial advance of the man who had alien the abundance accompaniment move off into the rain.
