The inquiry into the improper behaviour of the Honourable George Herchmer Markland, by the Executive Council of Upper Canada continued this week, with the testimony of William Morrow on the 4 August and the testimonies of Frederick Creighton Muttlebury and Henry Hughes, as well as the reexamination of Hannah Pike and Mrs. Margaret Powell on 7 August. Morrow confirmed he brought letters from Mr. Markland to James Pearson, piper in Her Majesty’s 24th Regiment of foot who was examined on 3 August, at Bytown and Montreal.

Hughe’s also met Markland twice in his office around seven o’clock to discuss his future trade, for about 10 minutes each time. Hughes also went for two walks with Markland. Hughes admitted it was strange to be asked into Markland’s office, but testified that Markland “never said or proposed anything improper to me”, he just gave him good advice for his career.
 Pike and Powell both testified on 2 August, but were reexamined after the examination of James Pearson on 3 August. They both admit that the man they saw with Markland was not Pearson, since the young man they saw was stouter than Pearson and had much lighter hair. Pike testifies that she only thought the man was Pearson because a soldier, later identified by a girl in town namesd Betsy Brown to be Thomas Burns, said he fit the description. Pike asked Burns following her examination about a lighter hair boy and believes the young man she saw to be a bugler names Potter.

Very few non-political figures have had as much of an effect on Canadian law, politics, healthcare and societal norms as Dr. Henry Morgentaler. There is much debate on whether Dr. Morgentaler’s legacy should be one of a hero to Canadian society or whether his impact has been detrimental, most likely his influence has been somewhere in between. Henry Morgentaler was born in Poland in 1923. During the Second World War, he and his family were

To start with, Pearson is undoubtedly a symbol of Canadian excellence, seeing as his efforts and impact were exceptional. At that time, the world was undergoing war, crisis and prejudice so it is impressive that Pearson was “one of the 20th century’s most untiring and effective workers in the cause of world peace.” (Baldwin 39). This impressiveness may also be due to the similar traits Pearson holds to Mackenzie King whom is a previous great leader. Though, Pearson had his tragic flaws such as ________ _________, which did lead to his resignation from office and defeat by Diefenbaker.

Conflict arose while many confrontations occurred between the Canadian forces and the members of the resistance. Riel and his men captured and arrested 48 of the government’s men in Fort Garry and sentenced “one particularly defiant man named Thomas Scott” (Smith, 1995) to death. According to Thomas (1982) the death of Scott was soon forgotten in the settlement, but in Ontario “the “murder” became a major issue”. He also wrote that it was Riel’s one great political blunder. Thomas (1982) specified that Riel promised to release all the other prisoners held at Upper Fort Garry.

That being said, John’s public confession, palpably exposed through material (a piece of paper with letters on it) would not only be etched on people’s memories and perceptions of him, thereby indelibly stigmatizing his good name, but also ultimately splinter his conscience and self-esteem. Having found again faith in his self-worth, through his conversation with Elizabeth and his refusal to name his friends’ names, John, stimulated to affirm his organic moral capacity, John stands up for his own truth, and that of others. He refuses to totally degrade himself and eliminate his rightful self-worth by giving “such a lie” to “dogs” and having his confession used as proof for the court’s legitimacy, to symbolically concede alliance or confirmation to this murderous court that he has been complicit in through his acts, and to deviate from his responsibility to show moral support to the truth and correctness of those who have hanged and are about to hang. While John’s expression of the aforesaid points can be misconstrued as a desire to preserve his self-image intact, or that it is reputation-conscious, that is not entirely

The two boys met at Haverstock Secondary School in Greater London in September 1970 , in the school’s playground. David Mulcahy was tall and quite an extrovert character, so he fitted in well with the other pupils. By contrast, John Duffy was very “peculiar looking” according to Stephen Wright, The Daily Mail crime editor who studied extensively on the pair. Duffy was “short, red-head and suffered from severe acne”32. Richard Priestly, a pupil who was in the same year as Duffy, said that Duffy would “always be alone at lunch and break, wearing the same parker coat with the hood up”26 in the summer and winter which made him the subject of even more ridicule.
