		Bowring used more than arguments to pry open the Thai economy: the threat posed by the then-supreme British navy was almost certainly a factor in Siamese compliance, and Bowring himself confesses to mentioning his "large fleet" in correspondence with Siam's King Mongkut.
		Bowring says that the Siamese lack the "mendacity so characteristic of Orientals," and that in any case oppression is often to blame for lying: better to fib than to end up in the clinker.
		Bowring is similarly open-minded regarding slavery, the condition of fully one-third of the Siamese population.

		John B. Bowring, a Colorado state convict currently serving time at the Arkansas Valley Correctional Facility in Crowley, Colorado, appeals the district court's dismissal of his petition for writ of habeas corpus.
		Bowring's arguments on appeal were or could have been raised in an earlier petition for writ of habeas corpus that he filed in the United States District Court in Texas, which dismissed the charges on the merits.
		Bowring has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right; his request for a COA is therefore DENIED.

		In 1811 Benjamin Bowring, a reputed watch and clock maker, left his native Exeter, England, and sailed to Newfoundland to become the first of that profession to operate in the oldest Colony.
		To get an idea of the skill of the first Bowring in Newfoundland, it is only necessary to say that several of the clocks made by him even before he came to the country are still in existence in St. John's - and not only in existence, but keeping perfect time.
		Bowring Brothers, always in the front rank of the progressive merchants of Newfoundland, expanded steadily year by year and decade by decade, until their ramifications became country-wide.

		In 1847 Bowring was appointed British Consul in Canton, and in 1854 he became the governor of Hong Kong.
		In Siam, the opening of trade was the central goal of Sir John Bowring's mission: he forced a limitation of import duties to 3 percent and export duties to 5 percent, and the abolition of commodity and trading monopolies with the exception of opium.
		The classic work of John Gallagher and Ronald Robinson, "The Imperialism of Free Trade," inspired decades of discussion about the causes of the "new" imperialism, but their assertion that the free trade regime was central to Britain's mid-century informal empire remains unchallenged.

		Bowring was not an official to be deterred from expressing his opinions by fear of headquarters.
		Up to this point all Sir John Bowring's suggestions with regard to the settlement of the questions pending with the Chinese had been received with the official reply that he was to abstain from all action, and that he was not to press himself on the Canton authorities.
		Sir John Bowring therefore returned to Hongkong without having effected anything by his visit to Shanghai, but at this moment the advance of the rebels to the neighborhood of Canton seemed likely to effect a diversion that might have important consequences.
