  Charles Connell
Charles Connell (1810-1873) was a Canadian politician, now remembered mainly for his image on a 5 cent postage stamp.
In 1858, Connell was appointed postmaster general of the colony, at a time when increasing trade with the United States was forcing the British colonies to reconsider their currencies and institute a decimal system that would be more familiar to their American neighbors.
While few people had problems with the new currency, they were outraged that Connell chose to depict himself on the 5 cent stamp, instead of Queen Victoria.

The stamps were recalled and Charles Connell, in a fit of peeve, said he would pay for them, but there is no evidence that he ever did.
Undoubtedly not all the stamps were burned on Charles Connell's lawn nor destroyed by young Dibblee as there are just too many accounts of their presence around New Brunswick in the early 18605.
Charles Connell and the American Bank Note Company produced a one cent with a picture of a train on it, the Ossekeag #9, or possibly the Prince of Wales, of the European and North American Railroad, (likely because Charles Connell had just been made a director of the company).

Connell and Nelson claim that we may not consider the Fund's statute of limitations argument because the Fund failed to cross-appeal from the district court's adverse ruling on that issue.
It is undisputed that Connell and Nelson knew as early as 1981 or 1982 that the Fund had canceled their pension credits by applying the break-in-service rule and that the Fund's actions would diminish their future benefits.
Although it was established that Connell and Nelson knew in 1981 or 1982 of the pension fund's action which constituted the alleged breach -- that is, its enforcement of the break-in-service rule -- it does not follow that they had actual knowledge of the breach itself.

 Guardian Unlimited Politics | Special Reports | Blair questions Lib Dem sums on pensions
Charles Kennedy called for action to end "blatant discrimination" which sees the average woman receive just £51 a week in basic state pension and said that two-fifths of pensioners - two million people - were not receiving the means-tested benefits to which they are entitled.
However, Mr Blair appeared to score a decisive victory over the Lib Dems, saying the £2.7bn savings to pay for the pensions increase from abolishing the Department of Trade and Industry in fact represented scrapping two-thirds of the state support for science and cutting all of its regional assistance.
Pensioners' Voice national vice-president Charles Connell said: "For 65 years this federation, with branches spread from Dover to Plymouth, Bristol to Darlington and from south Wales to Glasgow has fought on behalf of pensioners and their rights.

The National Land League, founded under the leadership of Michael Davitt and Charles Stewart Parnell, conducted a campaign of boycott and violence that influenced the passage of the Land Act of 1881, called the "Magna Carta" of the Irish farmer.
It recognized the three F's and provided a land commission to fix a "fair rent." Thereafter land purchase by the tenant became the predominant issue.
