Chapter 3013 The ghost in the distance (eighteen)

Cervantes once wrote in his Don Quixote:

Love sees through glasses, and sees brass as gold, poverty as riches, and spots in the eyes as pearls.

Severus didn't have spots in his eyes, but he did have the Death Eater mark on his arm, and Pomona wasn't blind enough to see it for a pearl.

He went to XZ with her during the big trial. Even if Karkaroff confessed him at that time, the Ministry of Magic would have to travel half the world to arrest him.

The Mysterious Man is not an internationally wanted criminal like Grindelwald. Although he has many foreign supporters, British Aurors want to be arrested across borders, unlike in the 1920s. They can go wherever they want.

If they want to capture Severus across the border, then they need to go through the International Confederation of Wizards, and Albus Dumbledore is the president of the International Confederation of Wizards.

But the situation is different now. He is in the UK, and I don't know what he was thinking. He actually thought of using the habeas corpus as a "talisman".

Habeas corpus did work over 200 years ago, and it was created under the Magna Carta, because according to the Magna Carta, no one can be imprisoned except by a legal sentence or the laws of the country.

For example, in 1615, a prisoner was imprisoned by the High Court of Religious Affairs because of his speeches that defied God. .

The Court of Queen's Bench can issue habeas corpus to release prisoners on the grounds that it believes that the high religious court has no power to punish anyone with imprisonment. In matters of state, no one should question the king's decisions.

There was no writ of protection in Massachusetts, Governor Andros had imposed a town tax in 1687 without consulting the legislature, there was a town meeting at a place called Ipswich, and Andros sent The generals arrested the leaders, and then the prisoners applied for writs of habeas corpus.

The magistrate at that time said, "Don't think that British laws can follow you to the four poles of the world", which means that the laws of the British are no longer valid in the king's territory, and everyone must follow the laws of Andros "Your Majesty" In addition, this judge is obviously a supporter of the flat earth theory. If the earth is round, there are only two poles, how can there be four poles?

The matter did not immediately lead to a rebellion, but Massachusetts did at last under Andros, and after that year the Massachusetts legislature authorized the defendant to apply for protection, and then to the "Supreme Court," which was approximately equal to Westminster Special, in effect granting them the enactment of writs of habeas corpus as common law.

In 1692, the newly appointed governor formulated a law based on the 1679 "Habeas Corpus Act" as a template. Even if it is a crime of treason, as long as the application for a writ before the charges are filed in the next court session, it is also recognized. "(The privilege) has not been granted to all the colonies of His Majesty the King" vetoed this matter. But as long as you are proficient in the law or have a lawyer friend, you can still apply. Why is it that a few delirious witnesses who ate bread containing ergot bacteria made the whole of Massachusetts restless.

The mental defects of the witnesses can also inhibit the credibility of the testimony of the witnesses. Of course, those girls will say that they have no mental defects. Since they themselves say that they are fine, why bother to find "witches" who destroy their spirits?

There will be such a problem when the territory is large. The smuggling of silver mines in South America by the Spanish Empire is very serious. Even if the silver mines are later mined, they have to pay taxes. Because the tax collectors do not have direct contact with the taxpayers, the taxes cannot be collected. , unless it is gold and silver "arriving" in Spain.

This also led to quartermasters like Cervantes, who purchased munitions for the Armada, to collect taxes themselves if they wanted to buy things, and this was also the power entrusted to him by the king.

Cervantes also said: Patience is a plaster for all pain.

With nothing else to do but endure, is it possible that he has to make a fuss with a certain student in the newt exam?

We were all adults, and Albus valued the friendship between teachers and students, but not everyone was so attached to their alma mater.

This kind of frustration has been encountered by many people, and it is different from those who are born lucky.

Pope Leo X once dreamed of unifying Italy, merging Florence, Milan, Piacenza, Parma, Ferrara and other places into a powerful new federation, and merging with the existing Papal States to resist the invasion from the north. Louis XII, King of France, and Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, they have just negotiated the partition of Naples. Only by waiting for Italy to be united can they resist them, and the Turks, as long as all this is realized, even Europe can launch another Eastern Expedition again.

It's just that the "Medici royal family" ruled this new federation, and Pope Leo X was also from the Medici family.

Even if the queen agrees to sign the writ of habeas corpus, does the court of the Ministry of Magic still recognize the writ of habeas corpus in the court of the throne? That thing is really an "old antique". I don't know how many layers of dust have been buried in the dust of history. It can be said that it has been half buried.

But given the choice of "playing" with Emily, Pomona would rather go and "pastime" those old files.

She was very upset, closed the book in her hand, and left the office.

As for where to go, she has no purpose, anyway, she is just wandering around the school.

==================================================== =====

There's a blonde girl in red who stands out from a group of people in dark coats, and even Neo can't help but look back at her.

This "training program" was written by the young man named "Mouse". He seems to have learned a lot at a young age, and he can say "denying instinct is denying humanity", but he doesn't like the blonde girl he designed. say.

Only when Morpheus made Neo turn again, the blond turned into the agent with the gun.

Morpheus said Neo was not one of them, but part of a "surveillance system."

Bentham designed a kind of prison, which was circular, with prison guards in the middle, surrounded by "single rooms", every move of prisoners was monitored by prison guards at any time, and privacy became a privilege.

Under surveillance, people will pay attention to their words and deeds, although he does not know whether the prison guards are watching him.

But in Gotham, where the clown is, there are no cameras in many places, which also makes it impossible for the clown to track his whereabouts after committing a crime. After Arthur removes his makeup and changes his clothes in the bathroom, no one can recognize him as the one who shot. people.

Compared with Gotham, "New York" is much more orderly, and the streets are also very clean, with no garbage and graffiti to be seen.

But this is a world controlled by machines, and it is normal to lack these. How can machines understand "street art"?

Minors will be monitored by "traces", which is only allowed after the law is passed, and continued monitoring of adult wizards is not allowed.

If Harry hadn't used his divine protection, both he and his cousin would have been attacked by dementors. It's a pity that the rigid Ministry of Magic did not believe that the dementors would leave Azkaban and attack humans.

So, how to explain all this?

She felt that there was nothing to say, there were so many people smarter than her, and it was not the turn of a fool to worry about it.

So she shifted her gaze to the silver screen.
