Chapter 2856 Hagrid's Holiday (6)

The English Court of Chancery is located in the Supreme Court of England and Wales, which is a Gothic building. The Supreme Court of England and Wales is mainly responsible for hearing civil cases, and criminal cases are handled in the Royal Court.

The reason why Scotland is not included is because the Scottish legal system is mixed with the characteristics of the civil law system, so the highest judicial authority for criminal cases in Scotland is the Scottish Supreme Court.

Although Scotland Yard is the name of the Metropolitan Police Department, it has no control over the affairs of Scotland. Scotland has a special crime police service, which was set up in England, and there are also some local police agencies, which are managed and responsible by various cities.

However, the Supreme Court of England and Wales can hear civil cases in Scotland, but there is a prerequisite that two Scottish barristers need to determine that the grounds for the protest are reasonable.

The Court of Chancery was formerly housed in the premises of the Lincoln Bar until 1882. For those involved in the lawsuit, there is no mood to sleep except nervousness and anxiety. Of course, it is impossible to wander around like a Japanese tour group with a video camera.

In many photos taken by Churchill during the Second World War, he put up two fingers and made a "v". These tourists always compare this gesture when they take pictures, as if this gesture now represents "love and love". peace".

Pomona went to the side of the road to buy two cones, and planned to eat them with Ben Cooper on the bench outside the courthouse, but when she walked around the tourists and came to the place where they had just been, her place was gone. Occupied by a court puppet.

"Hey Paul, would you like a cone?" Pomona said with a smile.

"No, thanks." Paul said with a "smile".

Then Pomona gave the cone to Ben Cooper.

"Professor, why did you bring me here?" Ben asked.

"Did you ask, or did Paul make you ask?" Pomona asked.

Ben looked at Paul.

"You're boring," Paul said.

Pomona watched the two of them sitting side by side, and didn't intend to drive any of them away. Instead, he sat on the chair, but stood by himself, eating the cone slowly.

Before Gladstone came to power, electoral reform had already begun, but the reform was relatively mild and did not satisfy Gladstone.

He wanted the Conservatives to replace the Liberals as the largest party in Parliament, but in the reforms of 1867 agricultural land became "property favorable to the towns" and no longer had the same voting rights as in the 1832 elections.

The landed aristocracy and their Conservative Party were weakened, and Gladstone hoped to win over the votes of the workers, many of whom also owned houses in the cities, or at least rented them.

The Liberals want to expand the urban vote, but they don't want workers to get too many votes, which would allow the working class vote to overwhelm the intellectual and bourgeoisie. According to their views at the time, the public could not make rational and well-founded judgments, and only the educated and wealthy could make decisions that benefited the interests of the entire society.

The Conservative Party believes that the more workers are denied the right to vote, the stronger their calls for suffrage will be. Gladstone even shouted that "human thinking and soul are not measured by shillings and pence".

Then there were riots in Birmingham and Manchester in 1866. 150,000 people gathered in Birmingham, and then the incident spread to other cities, even in London's Hyde Park.

The mounted police and the army carried out successive suppressions. The Times called for a moderate solution to the reform issue. It may be because British workers are not like French workers who are facing starvation and have nowhere to go, not to mention that they can go to North America to pan for gold. Therefore, this riot did not cause a devastating disaster. .

Generally, a bill can be debated for several years, and the dissolution of the parliament must be reorganized within 8 days, and there are still outside workers waiting. On February 25, 1867, a bill was completed in ten minutes, but this bill was rejected by the Liberal Party in 1866. Almost exactly the same.

Then there was arguing and compromise. People with low income and higher education should be given the right to vote, and people who live a regular life and behave well and reliably should be given the right to vote. Tenants who have paid taxes through rent should also have the right to vote.

Once the floodgates were opened, it became uncontrollable like a scourge. In 1866, Engels was in Manchester. He wrote a letter to Max, mainly concerned about the German issue. At that time, the Franco-Prussian War had not yet started, but Engels had predicted it as if he had predicted the future. About to explode.

There is a story that during the French Revolution, when Louis XVI heard gunfire outside, he asked his surroundings, "Is this a riot?", and a duke answered him, "No, Your Majesty, this is a revolution."

In the myth of Sisyphus written by Camus, Sisyphus was punished because he tested his wife's love for him before he died, and instead of burying him according to human common sense, he was thrown in the middle of the square , his wife did so, and he was angry at his wife for keeping his last words and love that violated human behavior. The God of Hades sent him back to take revenge, but when he walked into the world, he saw flowing water, sunlight, stones, and vast When he was in the sea, he never wanted to go back to the gloomy hell. Until Mercury throws him back into hell and punishes him for carrying the stone. In the eyes of others, Sisyphus is pitiful, and he keeps repeating meaningless work. But Camus felt that he was not in pain, that the stone was his destiny, and only when he was conscious would tragedy occur.

He doesn't want to think about those running water and sunshine. In this world without a master, he is the master.

If Oedipus, who killed his father and married his mother, did not know his own destiny, then he would not know his own tragedy. He himself also opposed the ethics of killing his father and marrying his mother.

If she hadn't had that dream, dreaming of Godric Gryffindor, he said she didn't understand him that well, and she wouldn't have thought about the sword of Gryffindor, and what is the spirit of Gryffindor.

Defiance, not obedience, is what Paul, Ben, and Barnaby have in common, and why Paul thinks they both deserve to be his playmates, the others are so easily ruled by fear and obey, there is no challenge at all .

Pomona originally thought that "fairness" does not mean "justice", and the law cannot stipulate everything, because some things need to be decided according to the conscience and judgment of the justice. Sir Denning protects the weak and prevents the abandoned wife from living on the streets, but it also affects the stability and safety of commercial laws, which is also one of the conflicts between the goblin and Gryffindor.

"I'm not going to ask you to forgive Carter," Pomona said. "Religion allows us to choose tolerance, but some people's behavior exceeds the limit of what others can tolerate, and it becomes unforgivable. I think you use the instinct of courage to judge. Danger and damage, Muggles have experienced decades of peace after World War II, but wizards have been in the shadow of You-Know-Who since 45 years, we need a little rest."

"I know, as long as I keep quiet..." said Ben lowly.

"I didn't tell you...do you remember when Liz got down on one knee to the pack beast?" Pomona asked.

Ben nods.

"Did she explain it to you?" Pomona asked.

"We must let her know how powerful we are before we can ask for peace, otherwise Vera won't stop because we kneel down."

"This is what I want to tell you, we want 'equal' peace, unequal peace is just 'year tribute'." Pomona sighed "You keep quiet and then gather strength, didn't you just learn a new spell Is it? If Carter still wants to offend you in the future, you will teach him a lesson."

"Even if he doesn't offend you, you can still give him some color." Paul said.

"You have the opportunity to choose, be kind or cruel, but the weak are not qualified to be 'merciful'." Pomona looked at him and said, "Even if you cry, others will not stop, and no one will help you, Hai Greg put his pet in the dungeon of Slytherin, he went down from the tower of Gryffindor to the ground every day, and then returned to his bedroom from the ground, do you think other people will not see it? They have already There is suspicion, and no one helped him when he was framed."

"Nobody framed me," Ben said.

"It's not you, you forgot about Cole, he went back early for vacation, and he will come next semester." Pomona said, "If he wants to deal with you, what should you do?"

Ben looked at Paul "What else would you do but that spell?"

"I'm not a teacher!" Paul said angrily.

"I thought you wanted a worthy opponent." Pomona said with a smile. "How can he be worthy of your amusement park if he is not strong?"

"I think you're very interesting," Paul said suddenly.

Pomona shuddered.

"Come on, let's go to the Ministry of Magic," Pomona said to Ben.

Ben pocketed Paul and followed her out of the Supreme Court.
