David Murray (1748–1794)
David Murray (10 May 1748 – 7 May 1794) was an English lawyer of Scottish noble descent. He sat in the House of Commons of Great Britain from 1784 until his death. Early life and family Murray was the second son of Rev the Hon. Gideon Murray, a Church of England clergyman. Gideon was the third surviving son of Alexander Murray, the 4th Lord Elibank, but he had little connexion with Scotland, and raised his family in England.

In 1783 he married Elizabeth Harley, daughter and co-heir of Thomas Harley, a younger son of the 3rd Earl of Oxford. They had three daughters – Elizabeth, Maria-Clara, Louisa – and one son, David Rodney. Elizabeth married the Royal Navy officer William Henry Shirreff.

Brackets
A bracket is either of two tall fore- or back-facing punctuation marks commonly used to isolate a segment of text or data from its surroundings. They come in four main pairs of shapes, as given in the box to the right, which also gives their names, that vary between British English, British and American English. "Brackets", without further qualification, are in British English the ... marks and in American English the ... marks. Other symbols are repurposed as brackets in specialist contexts, such as International Phonetic Alphabet#Brackets and transcription delimiters, those used by linguists. Brackets are typically deployed in symmetric pairs, and an individual bracket may be identified as a "left" or "right" bracket or, alternatively, an "opening bracket" or "closing bracket", respectively, depending on the Writing system#Directionality, directionality of the context.

George Murray, 6th Lord Elibank
Rear-Admiral George Murray, 6th Lord Elibank (died 11 November 1785) was a British naval officer. He joined the Royal Navy in the early 1720s and fought in the Battle of Porto Bello in 1739 as a lieutenant on board the ship of the line HMS ''Hampton Court''. Murray was promoted to commander in 1740 and given command of the sloop HMS ''Tryall'' to take part in George Anson's voyage around the world. A series of illnesses and deaths in Anson's squadron meant that by early 1741 Murray had been promoted to post captain and given command of the frigate HMS ''Pearl''. ''Pearl'' and another ship lost contact with Anson in April of that year and after taking heavy damage and casualties through storms and sickness, sought safety in Rio de Janeiro before sailing for England. Murray continued in the navy after this, receiving a number of different commands including the ship of the line HMS ''Hampshire'' in which he served in the Mediterranean Sea and English Channel.

People Educated At Beverley Grammar School
The term "the people" refers to the public or common mass of people of a polity. As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty. In contrast, a people is any plurality of persons considered as a whole. Used in politics and law, the term "a people" refers to the collective or community of an ethnic group or nation. Concepts Legal Chapter One, Article One of the Charter of the United Nations states that "peoples" have the right to self-determination. Though the mere status as peoples and the right to self-determination, as for example in the case of Indigenous peoples (''peoples'', as in all groups of indigenous people, not merely all indigenous persons as in ''indigenous people''), does not automatically provide for independent sovereignty and therefore secession. Indeed, judge Ivor Jennings identified the inherent problems in the right of "peoples" to self-determination, as i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
