Topic: Chamber of Councillors


  
  Star Chamber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Star Chamber (Latin Camera stellata) was an English court of law at the royal Palace of Westminster that sat between 1487 and 1641 when the court itself was abolished.
The origins of the Star Chamber became obscure after the expulsion of the Jews from England in 1290 by Edward I while the chamber continued to house a Court of Law.
Although the court was initially a court of appeal, Henry VIII and his councillors Wolsey and Cranmer encouraged plaintiffs to bring their cases directly to the Star Chamber, bypassing the lower courts entirely.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Dunstan
He was now become a person of much influence, and on the death of King Aethelstan in 940, the new King, Eadmund, summoned him to his court at Cheddar and numbered him among his councillors.
Entering the royal chamber they found Eadwig with the two harlots, the royal crown thrown carelessly on the ground.
They delivered their message, and as the king took no notice, St. Dunstan compelled him to rise and replace his crown on his head, then, sharply rebuking the two women, he led him back to the banquet-hall.

 Namweb Internet Services - Omaruru residents out to stop the rot   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
This week, they forced the councillors to reverse questionable decisions, put a moratorium on the sale of land and other property and to investigate suspected corrupt deals involving municipal officials and councillors.
But Musambani, the Chairman of the Omaruru Chamber of Commerce said councillors at the meeting held on Wednesday had agreed to a moratorium until a joint committee was formed between the council and the community "to ensure transparency".
Residents alleged that for a long time officials had ignored their call to get involved in the running of the museum, until it emerged last month that a group by the name of Mubasen had been given permission to operate the historical centre in town.
