The Road to Brown

The articles in question were video tapes of the activities which formed the subject of some of the counts laid under the Act. It is in my judgment best to regard this as another special situation which for the time being stands outside the ordinary law of violence because society chooses to tolerate it. That would produce the result in the present case that if these acts are done by two men they would be lawful by reason of s 1 of the Sexual Offences Act , even though the acts are far away from the kinds of homosexual acts which the Wolfenden Report had in mind see the Report of the Committee on Homosexual Offences and Prostitution Cmnd para ; in that situation, consent, it is said, would be a defence. Thus, when one comes to map out the spectrum of ordinary consensual physical harm, to which the special situations form exceptions, it is found that the task is almost impossible, since people do not ordinarily consent to the infliction of harm. It was urged upon your Lordships that hostility on the part of the inflicter was an essential ingredient of assault and that this ingredient was necessarily lacking when injury was inflicted with the consent of the receiver.

Already ambitious as a young man, he drove a mule team on the Erie Canal. In he made his way west to seek his fortune in the gold fields of California. He clerked in a hardware store in Sacramento and saved his earnings hoping to establish his own business. In , Ellwood made his way to DeKalb County, Illinois, where several of his brothers had already settled. Here he found work on the large farm of William Miller near Kingston.

Keenly aware of the needs of farmers for a cheap durable fencing material through his hardware business, Ellwood began to tinker with ways to improve fencing. By , fifty million pounds of barbed wire were being produced annually and Ellwood was well on his way to becoming one of the wealthiest men in Illinois.

This wealth enabled him to build a palatial home for his family on a large property at the edge of DeKalb. In the s, three men from DeKalb, Illinois began tinkering with an idea for cheap, durable fencing.

Ellwood, a hardware merchant. With a simple twist of metal, the lives of these three men and the future of the American West were changed forever. Joseph Glidden made his first barbed wire in the kitchen of his farmhouse, using a coffee mill to twist the barbs into shape. Working in his barn he then utilized a grindstone to twist two strands of wire together after placing the handmade barbs on one strand of the wire. After making several hundred feet of wire in this manner, he fenced his wife's vegetable garden to keep stray animals out. Glidden applied for a patent in October ; however, it was not granted until November 24, DeKalb folklore relates that it was Mrs.

Glidden and Ellwood soon formed a partnership called the Barb Fence Company and began the manufacture of barbed wire in DeKalb. In the first year of only 10, lbs. The following year the company built its first factory with a steam engine and machines to mechanize the barbing of the wire. Output rose dramatically and in more than , lbs.

Backed by ample capital, the barbed wire business soon began to assume gigantic proportions. In , the United States Supreme Court awarded precedence to Joseph Glidden because of his original claim that the twisting of the two strands of wire holds the barbs in place. Before barbed wire could achieve widespread use throughout the West, it had to be accepted by ranchers and farmers. Sensing that Texas would be the largest single market for the new invention, Ellwood sent the team of Henry Sanborn and J.

Warner to Houston in to promote and sell barbed wire.

They found Texas seething with controversy between the free grassers, who wanted to maintain the open range, and the nesters, who advocated fields protected by fences. Even those who were in favor of fencing scoffed at the idea that a light-weight barbed wire fence could restrain the wild Texas Longhorn cattle. There was also concern that the sharp barbs would inflict wounds on cattle.

If the cuts became infected, the cattle could become diseased and die. Because of these controversies, Sanborn and Warner failed to sell much barbed wire. This situation changed when a year-old sales-man named John W. Gates was hired by Ellwood. He announced that he intended to demonstrate that this fence could contain even the most wild Texas longhorns and offered to take all bets on the outcome.

Gates' bravado soon aroused the interest of many cattlemen. When the fenced enclosure was complete, he had wild Longhorn bulls driven into the corral. The animals, aroused by the taunts of the onlookers, were provoked repeatedly to charge the barbed wire.

The fences held and Gates soon began to sell barbed wire to the cattlemen by the railcar load. Map of the Museum Campus.
