Champion Brothers
Francis Henry Champion (c. 1817 – 29 March 1902) and Richard Champion (c. 1802 – 17 January 1870) were soap makers in South Australia who in an important legal case were sued by a neighbouring property owner for odours produced in the practice of their trade. History Francis Champion emigrated to South Australia in 1855; his elder brother Richard Champion emigrated with his family around the same time, possibly on the same ship. Francis Champion, and perhaps also his brother, worked for a time at the Sturt Street soap and candle factory of Moore & Tidmarsh (nominally 1849–1859, but in reality Tidmarsh's company from 1852), and left their employ to start his own factory. They purchased Lot 1866, of Section 354 in the township of Bowden (Gibson Street?) from Edward Kelly in 1860 and immediately set about erecting buildings and installing the vats necessary for rendering fat and tallow from butchers' scraps. A civil action was brought before the local court by one Dixon agains ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

History Of Adelaide
This article details the History of Adelaide from the first human activity in the region to the 20th century. Adelaide is a New town, planned city founded in 1836 and the capital of South Australia.

History Of Candle Making
Candle making was developed independently in many places throughout history. Dipped candles made from tallow were made by the Romans beginning about 1000 BCE. Evidence for candles made from whale fat in China dates back to the Qin Dynasty (221–206 BCE). In India, wax from boiling cinnamon was used for temple candles. Candles were primarily made from tallow and beeswax in ancient times, but have been made from spermaceti (from sperm whales), purified animal fats (stearin), and paraffin wax in recent centuries. Antiquity The early Greeks used candles on moon-shaped "cakes" of some sort to honor the goddess Artemis's birth on the sixth day of every lunar month. The tradition of putting candles on birthday cakes might be traceable to this custom, but cakes with any resemblance to modern Western birthday cakes only arose by around 1600 in Europe. Romans began making dipped candles from tallow, beginning around 1000 BCE. While oil lamps were the most widely used source of illumina ...

Rendering (animal Products)
Rendering is a process that converts waste animal tissue into stable, usable materials. Rendering can refer to any processing of animal products into more useful materials, or, more narrowly, to the rendering of whole animal fatty tissue into purified fats like lard or tallow. Rendering can be carried out on an industrial, farm, or kitchen scale. It can also be applied to non-animal products that are rendered down to pulp. In animal products, the majority of tissue processed comes from slaughterhouses, with the most common animal sources are beef, pork, mutton, and poultry. The rendering process simultaneously dries the material and separates the fat from the bone and protein, yielding a fat commodity and a protein meal. The occupation of renderer has been described as dangerous and dirty. Description A rendering process converts waste animal tissue into stable, usable materials. Rendering can refer to any processing of animal products into more useful materials, or, more n ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Non-suit
A non-suit (British English) or nonsuit (American English) is a legal procedure. A plaintiff (or other person bringing a civil action, such as a petitioner) drops his or her suit, under certain circumstances that do not prevent another action being brought later on the same facts. United States In the United States, a ''voluntary nonsuit'' is a motion taken by the plaintiff to release one or more of the defendants from liability. An example would be a plaintiff suing a physician and a hospital for damages resulting from surgical complications. If the plaintiff settles with the physician, the plaintiff would nonsuit the physician (removing him/her from the suit) but maintain action against the hospital and the suit would continue. If the plaintiff later settles with the hospital before trial, the resulting nonsuit would end the case as all defendants have been released. A nonsuit is a right of the plaintiff, but it may be prevented if the defendant has pleaded for affirmative re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
