Henry Alford (police Officer)
Henry Alford (12 February 1816 – 20 February 1892) was a police trooper in colonial South Australia, the colony's first mounted constable. He left the force at a time of low morale and became a hotel owner and publican, in which pursuit he was followed by his two sons. History Alford was born in Acton, Middlesex. He emigrated to South Australia aboard ''John Pirie'' on a twelve-month contract as an employee of the South Australian Land Company, embarking at Kangaroo Island in August 1836. One of his first assignments was to purchase and accompany from Tasmania (then Van Diemen's Land) two horses and two bullocks, the first brought into the colony. He was next employed by John Barton Hack, who had a small but increasing stock of farm animals. Alford and two others volunteered as special constables to bring in three escaped convicts from Tasmania, led by the outlaw Morgan, whom they apprehended near the whaling stations at Encounter Bay.

Alford Plea
In United States law, an Alford plea, also called a Kennedy plea in West Virginia, an Alford guilty plea, and the Alford doctrine, is a guilty plea in criminal court, whereby a defendant in a criminal case does not admit to the criminal act and asserts innocence, but admits that the evidence presented by the prosecution would be likely to persuade a judge or jury to find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. This can be caused by circumstantial evidence and testimony favoring the prosecution and difficulty finding evidence and witnesses that would aid the defense. Alford pleas are legally permissible in nearly all U.S. federal and state courts, except in the state courts of Indiana, Michigan, and New Jersey, or in the courts of the United States Armed Forces. Origin The ''Alford'' guilty plea is named after the United States Supreme Court case of '' North Carolina v. Alford'' (1970). Henry Alford had been indicted on a charge of first-degree murder in 1963. Evide ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Alford's Law
This ''Law'' or ''Rule'' was formulated by Henry Alford (1810-1871) as a rule of biblical interpretation. It appeared in his monumental multi-volume work completed in 1861, ''The Greek Testament'', which is still consulted today. Content Alford presented the ''rule'' as follows with specific reference to the first resurrection in Rev. 20:4– 6: :"If, in a passage where two resurrections are mentioned, where certain "souls lived" at the first, and the rest of the "dead lived" only at the end of a specified period after that first, - if in such a passage the first resurrection may be understood to mean spiritual rising with Christ, while the second means literal rising from the grave; then there is an end of all significance in language, and Scripture is wiped out as a definite testimony to anything. If the first resurrection is spiritual, then so is the second, which I suppose none will be hardy enough to maintain. But if the second is literal, then so is the first, which in commo ...
