An attendee has kindly forwarded an extract from the Speaker’s notes which is of particular relevance to the Dean’s current difficulties.<br /><br />Although the incident occurred some 458 years ago there is an amazing coincidence where the names of the personalities are the same. It is also evident that although the incident was years ago lessons have not been learnt. <br /> <br />Scan of Court de Cattel <br /> <br />The earliest evidence found of a hanging at this site is recorded in Le Quesne's Constitutional History of Jersey, when Richard Averty, a Proctor of Dean Poulet, was hanged at Gallow's Hill in 1555, after being found guilty of infanticide for the murder of the baby of his servant, Marie Bellee. The scan from the Cour de Cattel, dated 27th June 1555, records that his sentence was that he was to be "dragged to the gallows and hanged till he was dead, his body to be left on the gibbet till it should rot away". The Dean endeavoured to save his Cleric by arguing that he should have been tried at the Bishop's Court over which the Dean presided, but the Jurats overruled, arguing that the crime was so heinous that they could not allow Averty to pass outside the Royal Jurisdiction. <br />Bob Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01834363721495974167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596634218626697583.post-8974429759002965442013-07-21T14:24:53.759+01:002013-07-21T14:24:53.759+01:00Thanks for the comment and also to the reader who ...Thanks for the comment and also to the reader who at 1352 above submitted another Orwell quotation, both of which are quite appropriate.Bob Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01834363721495974167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596634218626697583.post-59770719038888513692013-07-21T14:03:25.210+01:002013-07-21T14:03:25.210+01:00One must also take into account (post Savile) how ...One must also take into account (post Savile) how Mr. Gripton does, or doesn't, deal with <a href="http://voiceforchildren.blogspot.com/2013/05/bbc-edging-toward-revival-of-savile.html" rel="nofollow">COMPLAINTS</a>voiceforchildrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825129148579102037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596634218626697583.post-81552087662229947392013-07-21T13:52:29.136+01:002013-07-21T13:52:29.136+01:00Thanks for publishing and also for commenting Bob....Thanks for publishing and also for commenting Bob.<br /><br />I would love to say everything under my own name but I unfortunately can't do so in 21st century Jersey.<br /><br />Just to clarify.
