DAILYCALLER (Paris Apodaca) - Legal Experts React To Supreme Court Showdown Over Climate Lawsuits

When asked whether the defendant would abandon its equal-sovereignty argument in favor of its extraterritoriality theory, counsel likened the choice to choosing between his children, saying he loved them both equally.

A hayride packed with children flipped in Wellsburg, New York, leaving three people critically injured after a tractor lost control coming down a hill Sunday.

AMERICANALMANAC (Lynn Jenkins) - Five thousand armed vigilantes seized San Francisco and hanged prisoners in 1856

In 1856, five thousand armed San Francisco vigilantes marched on the jail, seized two prisoners, and hanged them from roof beams, a takeover that cleaned streets for a season and tested the limits of lawful order. James King of William walked home through San Francisco that evening after printing a story about a rival publisher’s […] The post Five thousand armed vigilantes seized San Francisco and hanged prisoners in 1856 appeared first on American Almanac .

In 1856, five thousand armed San Francisco vigilantes marched on the jail, seized two prisoners, and hanged them from roof beams, a takeover that cleaned streets for a season and tested the limits of lawful order. James King of William walked home through San Francisco that evening after printing a story about a rival publisher’s prison time in New York. James Casey stepped from behind a wagon, threw back his cloak, and shot King in the abdomen with a revolver. King staggered into a nearby building. Casey surrendered to police. Angry crowds gathered while doctors worked on the wounded journalist. Businessmen met in secret on the third floor of a Sacramento Street building and formed the San Francisco Vigilance Committee of 1856. They…Open

What was the ultimate fate of the San Francisco Vigilance Committee and their actions?
The committee's reach eventually exceeded its original targets, leading to a situation where members admitted they had "a grizzly bear on our hands" regarding Justice David Terry. By early August 1856, the committee released Terry and disbanded its army. While they briefly held power and hanged four men, they eventually stood down, leaving behind a history of using raw force to replace lawful authority.
Q&A ID 29e9977b-c253-4336-855b-106e6b94ebe9
What economic factors contributed to the rise of crime and the subsequent rise of the vigilante movement in San Francisco?
The city experienced a massive gold boom in the Sierra Nevada foothills, which turned a small trading post into a city of 50,000 almost overnight. However, when the precious-metals supply leveled off, the economy suffered; hydraulic mining enriched corporations while individual prospectors moved to wheat farming. This led to empty warehouses, failing banks, declining wages, and a vacuum of power that was filled by crime and political muscle, creating the conditions for the vigilante takeover.
Q&A ID ad073a2a-ed18-4e2c-b94d-6d9955624eac
Who were the prominent figures who stood helpless against the San Francisco Vigilance Committee during the 1856 takeover?
California Governor J. Neely Johnson and William Tecumseh Sherman, who was the newly appointed commander of the state militia, stood helpless on a nearby hotel roof while the 5,000 armed vigilantes marched on the county jail. Sherman later described the organization as "an irresponsible organization claiming to be armed with absolute power" and resigned as general of the state militia after the jail surrendered the prisoners to the committee.
Q&A ID fc8423ad-7d40-4992-aebe-714ce7f3d469
How did the San Francisco Vigilance Committee exercise its power over the city and its legal system in 1856?
Roughly 5,000 armed men, many carrying muskets and rifles, marched on the county jail with a cannon and forced the surrender of James Casey and Charles Cora. The committee subsequently hanged both men from beams at their headquarters. Over the next two months, they hanged two more men, arrested dozens of supporters of political boss David Broderick (mostly Irish Catholics), and deported them to the East Coast by steamship. They also burned copies of the San Francisco Herald and intimidated advertisers into leaving the paper. Additionally, they locked up state Supreme Court Justice David Terry after he stabbed the committee’s police chief in a melee.

AMERICANALMANAC (Sadie Smith) - Qing imperial dish valued at £30,000 turns up under a London sofa

A monumental Qing porcelain dish made for Empress Dowager Cixi and valued at up to £30,000 spent decades under a north London sofa before specialists cleaned it and set it for auction.

A monumental Qing porcelain dish made for Empress Dowager Cixi and valued at up to £30,000 spent decades under a north London sofa before specialists cleaned it and set it for auction. The two-foot dish, weighing 30 pounds, had been brought from China in the early 20th century by Chinese immigrant Wing Lung Goo and passed down through his family. For years it sat under the living-room sofa of a descendant’s townhouse in Barnet, north London, gathering dust until a relative finally acted on a hunch that it might be special. That relative sent photographs to auctioneers. Asian art specialist John Axford, chairman and head of the Asian art department at Woolley & Wallis and a familiar face from BBC’s Antiques Roadshow, saw the scale and…Open

What was the condition of the dish when it was first discovered by the family, and how was it prepared for auction?
When the family first sent photographs of the dish, it was covered in dirt and had been gathering dust under a sofa for decades. However, after specialists cleaned the piece, it emerged in near-pristine condition. The cleaning process allowed the dish to be documented as a significant imperial object ready for the auction block.
Q&A ID 0c5dda3d-4f1a-4db9-865a-06f8e82988a0
What is the estimated auction value of the Qing porcelain dish and when is it scheduled to be sold?
The dish is scheduled to be sold at auction by Woolley & Wallis on November 10. The auction house has set an estimate of £20,000 to £30,000 for the piece.
Q&A ID ee42209e-aeee-45f8-9233-c83ba16e7a79
What specific markings and physical characteristics led specialists to identify the dish as an imperial object?
Asian art specialist John Axford identified a four-character seal mark on the underside of the dish which read "Chuxiugong zhi," meaning "Made for the Chuxiu Palace." This specific mark was used on dishes created for Empress Dowager Cixi’s birthday celebrations. Additionally, the dish is described as "monumental," measuring two feet in size and weighing 30 pounds, and features a distinctive yellow-glazed base.
Q&A ID c2d99e4f-6c66-4458-905c-9bd43588c79e
How did the Qing imperial dish end up in a townhouse in Barnet, north London, and how was it eventually rediscovered?
The dish was brought from China in the early 20th century by Chinese immigrant Wing Lung Goo and passed down through his family. It sat under the living-room sofa of a descendant’s townhouse in Barnet for decades because its size and 30-pound weight made it impractical to hang on a wall or display on shelves. It was rediscovered when a relative acted on a hunch that the piece was special, sent photographs to auctioneers, and led to a visit by Asian art specialist John Axford, who identified the imperial seal mark.
