Edinburgh Hebrew chair goes to a Dissenter in 1840s
October report notes a shift in Edinburgh University politics as the town council elects Mr. Macdowell, a Free Church classical teacher, over Mr. Liston to the Hebrew chair. The decision challenges historic establishment trends and may provoke institutional pushback from clerical outlets.
Royal Accidents and a Fatal Powder Blast at Lissannon Castle
Accidents near Windsor involve the Prince of Wales and Princess Royal as two Shetland ponies bolt across Home Park. The Princess Royal is thrown but unharmed. A separate Windsor carriage crash near Frogmore Road injures Duchess of Kent’s party, with no serious harm. A fatal powder explosion at Lissannonre Castle destroys part of the building and kills Mrs. Macartney, while her husband’s powder stored for yeomanry use is implicated. A Swinton murder inquest reveals a deferral dispute over suspect access, ending with a verdict of homicide by unknown assailant and criticism of magistrate-coroner conflicts.
