Chandler was a firm Loyalist whose politics by 1774 did not blend easily with the patriotic beliefs of many of his Worcester neighbors: they nicknamed him "Tory John." In 1774 he left his wife and children behind and fled to Boston, seeking the safety of the British garrison.
As Chandler was pursuing his claims in England, Worcester's new judge of probate Levi Lincoln (1749-1820) enforced the 1777 act of the General Court that permitted the settlement of absent Loyalists' estates as if they were deceased.

 Historical documents regarding corporate personhood
Below is the letter from Supreme Court Chief Justice Morrison Remick Waite to court reporter J.C. Bancroft Davis informing Davis that it didn't much matter whether or not he included a comment about the arguments before the court that corporations were persons "as we avoided meeting the constitutional questions in the decision."
The decision did not rule that corporations are persons: Davis added it in the headnotes (commentary) on his own, and subsequent courts have incorrectly based decisions since 1886 on the headnotes and not the case.
Davis writes, after quoting language stating that corporations are persons, "please let me know whether I correctly caught your comments and oblige [reply]."

 Free Speech Movement Chronology
The tables at Bancroft and Telegraph may be used to distribute literature advocating action on current issues with the understanding that the student organizations do not represent the University of California--thus these organizations will not use the name of the University and will dissociate themselves from the University as an institution.
The ASUC Senate (by a vote of 11-5) requested the Regents "to allow free political and social action to be effected by students at the Bancroft entrance to the University of California, up to the posts accepted as the traditional entrance." The Senate motion also requested the privilege of soliciting funds for off-campus activity.
John R. Searle, associate professor of philosophy, claimed that, while the avowed function of the regulations is to keep the campus politically neutral, the actual result is an "increase in the alienation, hostility and contempt" of the students toward the Administration.

Clearly, the reviewer had an agenda, and he vented at John Shannon's expense in what is not any sort of recognizable review but a misinformed tirade.
John Shannon has written yet another exceptional entry in the Jack Liffey series--which is not so much a traditional mystery as it is an extension of a formidable array of character studies.

Secretary of State Hamilton Fish, Assistant Secretary John Chandler Bancroft-Davis and Minnesota Republican Senator Alexander Ramsey (who all employed him in that capacity) found his reports pleasingly illuminating and his goals of annexation were entirely in keeping with those of the Grant administration.
Senator Zachariah Chandler, (who will reappear in an intensely intriguing role several years later), made himself especially useful, zealously promoting land grants in Congress for the Northern Pacific's western Canada-bound spur line to Pembina on the international boundary.
