Arthur O’Connor

October 4th, 2008

Arthur O'Connor.


Arthur O’Connor.

Arthur O’Connor (July 4, 1763 – April 25, 1852), was a United Irishman and later a general in Napoleon’s army.

Biography

Born near Bandon, County Cork, O’Connor embraced the Republican movement early on as he was encouraged by the American Revolution overseas. From 1791 to 1796 he was a member of the colonial parliament in College Green. In 1796 he became a member of the Society of United Irishmen. He and Lord Edward Fitzgerald petitioned France for aid in support of an Irish revolution. While traveling to France he was arrested alongside Father James O’Coigly and three other United Irishmen. O’Coigly, a Catholic priest, was hanged whereas O’Connor was acquitted. He was re-arrested immediately and imprisoned at Fort George in Scotland, until he was released in 1802 under the condition of ‘banishment’. He traveled to Paris, where he was regarded as the accredited representative of the United Irishmen by Napoleon who, in February, 1804, appointed him General of Division in the French army. General Berthier, Minister of War, directed that O’Connor was to join the expeditionary army intended for the invasion of Ireland at Brest. When the plan fell through, O’Connor retired from the army, later marrying the daughter of scholar Marquis de Condorcet, Eliza, in 1807. The rest of his life was spent composing literary works on political and social topics.

History

The city was first documented in 1214 under the name of Zolonta and in 1332 a Papal document used the name Zalanta. From 1587 the Hungarian spelling Szalonta was used.

Until the 16th century, it was only a small village of about 300 inhabitants and was on the land of the Toldi family. A bigger city was the fort of Culiser, which was however destroyed by the Turks in 1598.

Culiser was never rebuilt and Salonta began to have a more important role in the region after 1606, when the prince of Transylvania, Stephan Bocskai settled 300 soldiers here and appropriated land for them. They built their own farms, but had to keep their arms ready to repel an attack by the Turks. 3 June, the day in which the soldiers were settled, is nowadays declared “the day of the city”. However, Ottoman Turks captured the town in 1660 and as “Salanta”, it became the sanjak center of Varat vilayet until 1692.

Renowned Hungarian 19th Century poet, János Arany, was born and lived in Salonta for most of his life. Lajos Zilahy, another noted Hungarian author, was also born in Salonta on 27 March 1891.

Trivia

The city of Salonta was the host for the 2006 Romanian National Gliders Championship (Campionat na?ional de aeromodelism) and its team, Metalul Salonta, has won the championship several times.

Politics

The Salonta Municipal Council, elected in the 2004 local government elections, is made up of 17 councillors, with the following party composition:

    Party Seats Current Council
  Democratic Union of Hungarians in Romania 12                        
  Justice and Truth Alliance 4                        
  Social Democratic Party 1

The Old Malthouse

October 3rd, 2008

The Old Malthouse School (The OMH) was a preparatory school in the village of Langton Matravers near Swanage in the Isle of Purbeck, Dorset, United Kingdom.

The School was founded in 1906 by Rex Corbett, an ex-England football player. It started with 10 pupils, in a building that was formerly, as its name implies, a brewery. Tom Pellatt, his brother-in-law who ran a school at Durnford Court in the same village had, in an enlightened moment, blasted out a swimming bath in the rocks at Dancing Ledge, a mile and a half away on the coast and the pupils of both schools used this daily in the summer term. Durnford’s most famous former pupil was Ian Fleming author of James Bond and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

In 1939 the school was sold by Rex Corbett to Victor Haggard (H) and Evan Hope-Gill (Hopper) who inherited 37 boys. Durnford was requisitioned by the army later that year and was acquired by the owners of the Old Malthouse when the army gave it up in 1948. The main buildings were either pulled down or sold, leaving the OMH with the grounds, which were levelled for playing fields. A third joint headmaster Peter Mattinson (Mr Matt) joined after World War II and the triumvirate ruled until 1974 when the school, then with about 80 boys, was sold to a Trust under the headmastership of Quintin Ambler. Sadly ill-health led to Mr Ambler’s early departure to be replaced as Headmaster by Patrick Jordan in 1975. Through the 1970s and early 80s the school expanded to about 100 pupils but declining enrolment and increasing losses led to the decision to close the school in 2007. In 1988 Jon Phillips took over as Headmaster, remaining for 15 years. During this time the school added a pre-prep department and became fully co-educational. Richard Keeble became Headmaster in January 2004 and left the school in July 2006 handing over the reins to longtime deputy Dr Moira Laffey.

In April 2007, the local press reported that the school would close at the end of the 2007 summer term and the school subsequently closed its doors at the end of the summer.
