Chapter 3013 The ghost in the distance (18)



Cervantes once wrote in his Don Quixote:

Love is about seeing things with glasses, seeing brass as gold, poverty as wealth, and spots in the eyes as pearls.

Severus had no spots in his eyes, but he did have the Death Eater symbol on his arm, and Pomona wasn't blind enough to see it as a pearl.

During the Great Trial, he went to XZ with her. Even if Karkaroff confessed him at that time, the Ministry of Magic would have to travel halfway around the world to arrest him.

The mysterious man is not an internationally wanted criminal like Grindelwald. Although he has many foreign supporters, British Aurors' cross-border arrests are different from those in the 1920s. They can go wherever they want.

If they want to capture Severus across borders, 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 writ of habeas corpus as a "talisman."

The writ of habeas corpus was indeed valid more than 200 years ago, and it was based on Magna Carta, because according to the provisions of Magna Carta, no one can be imprisoned except by lawful judgment or by the law of the land.

For example, in 1615, a prisoner was imprisoned by the High Court of Religious Affairs for making remarks that were contemptuous of God. The ordinary court believed that there was no evidence to prove that he had said these words, so it issued a writ of habeas corpus and asked the man to go to the ordinary court for trial.

.

The Court of Queen's Bench may issue a writ of habeas corpus to release a prisoner on the grounds that it considers that the High Inquisition has no power to punish anyone with imprisonment. In matters of state, no one should question the king's decision.

There was no writ of protection in Massachusetts. During the administration of Governor Andros, he levied a town tax in 1687 without consulting the legislature. A town met at a place called Ipswich, and Andros sent

Several people led by the General were arrested, and then these prisoners applied for a writ of habeas corpus.

The local judge at that time said, "Don't think that British law can follow you to the four ends of the earth." This means that British law no longer applies in the king's territory, and everyone must follow "Your Majesty Andros"

The judge is obviously a supporter of the flat earth theory. The earth is round and there are only two poles, the north and the south. How can there be four poles?

This incident did not lead to an immediate rebellion, but Massachusetts eventually rebelled under Andros, and after that year the Massachusetts Legislature granted protection to the defendant applicants and then transferred it to the "Supreme Court", which was approximately equal to Westminster

Special, in effect empowering them to issue habeas corpus as a matter of common law.

By 1692, the newly appointed governor formulated a law based on the 1679 Habeas Corpus model. Even treason was recognized as long as a writ was applied for before the charges were filed in the next court session. However, the British Privy Council

The matter was rejected on the grounds that "(the privilege) has not yet been granted to all His Majesty's colonies." However, as long as you are proficient in law or have lawyer friends, you can still apply. How could it be that a few people ate bread containing ergot fungus and lost their consciousness?

The unclear witnesses made the whole of Massachusetts uneasy.

The mental defect of a witness can also inhibit the credibility of the witness's testimony. Of course, those girls will say that they have no mental defect. Since they themselves say that they are fine, why bother looking for the "witch" who destroyed their spirits?

This problem will arise when the territory becomes larger. The silver smuggling phenomenon of the Spanish Empire in South America was very serious. Even if the silver mines were later mined, taxes would have to be paid. Because the tax officials did not have direct contact with taxpayers, the taxes could not be collected.

, unless it is gold and silver that "arrives" 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 given to him by the king.

Cervantes also said: Patience is a plaster that heals all pain.

There is nothing else to do except endure. Is it possible that I have to have a big fight with a certain student during the newt exam?

Everyone is now an adult, and Albus values ​​the friendship between teachers and students, but not everyone is so attached to their alma mater.

Many people have encountered this kind of frustration, and it is different from people 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 it with the existing Papal States to resist the invasion from the north.

King Louis XII of France and the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire have just negotiated to carve up Naples. Only when Italy becomes united can they resist them, as well as the Turks. As long as this is realized, Europe can even start again

Eastern Expedition.

It's just that the people who rule this new federation are the "Medici Royal Family", and Pope Leo X is also from the Medici family.

Even if the Queen agrees to sign the writ of habeas corpus, will the courts of the Ministry of Magic still recognize the writ of habeas corpus from the Court of Queen's Bench? That thing is really an "old antique". It has been buried in the dust of history for countless layers of dust. It can be said that it is already half

Buried.

But when it comes to "playing" with Emily and making choices, Pomona would rather read those old files for "entertainment."

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

As for where she was going, she had no purpose. She was just wandering around the school anyway.

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

=====

In the movie, there is a blonde girl wearing red clothes. She is particularly conspicuous among a group of people wearing dark coats. Even Neo can't help but look back at her.

This "training program" was written by the young man named "Mouse". He seems to know a lot at a young age and can say "denying instinct is denying human nature", but the blonde he designed is not very fond of

say.

But when Morpheus asked Neo to turn around again, the blonde turned into an agent holding a gun.

Morpheus says that Neo is not one of theirs, but part of the "surveillance system."

Bentham designed a prison that was circular, with the prison guard in the middle and "single cells" all around. Every move of the prisoner was monitored by the prison guards at all times, and privacy became a privilege.

Under surveillance, a person will pay attention to his words and deeds, although he does not know whether the prison guard is watching him.

But in Gotham, where the Joker is, there are no cameras in many places, which also prevents the Joker from tracking his whereabouts after committing a crime. After Arthur took off his makeup and changed clothes in the bathroom, no one could recognize him as the shooter.

of people.

Gotham is much more orderly than New York, and the streets are very clean, with no trash or graffiti to be seen.

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

Minors will be monitored by "trails", which is only allowed after the law is passed, but continued surveillance of adult wizards is not allowed.

If Harry didn't have to call for protection, he and his cousin would have been attacked by dementors. Unfortunately, the rigid Ministry of Magic did not believe that 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 smarter people than her, and it was not the turn of a fool to worry so much.

So she turned her attention to the silver screen.
