wikipedia_2018-3906 | Fearing that the Exclusion Bill would be passed , and bolstered by some acquittals in the continuing Plot trials , which seemed to him to indicate a more favourable public mood towards Catholicism , Charles dissolved the English Parliament , for a second time that year , in the summer of 1679 .

wikipedia_2018-3914 | The English common law has long recognized the right of an individual to resist with reasonable force an attempt of a police officer to make an unlawful arrest . This offered a complete defense if nonlethal force was used , and would reduce a murder charge to manslaughter if a death ensued . In Hopkin Huggett 's case , English officials illegally seized a man to serve in the King 's army . Huggett and others observed this and fought to free the man . In the course of the fight one of the King 's men , John Barry , was killed and Huggett was put on trial for murder . The English court ruled that since the officer was making an unlawful arrest , the most that could be charged was manslaughter . In 1709 , in Queen v. Tooley , the English court again found that when resisting an unlawful arrest , the death of an individual would result in a manslaughter charge instead of a murder charge . When the United States separated from England , the common law was adopted by the new American courts and the right to resist unlawful arrest was clearly recognized . | wikipedia-2018 |

It has negative consequences for several species of sea snails , ranging from sterility in some individuals to the extinction of entire populations . Tin compounds are <unk> anti @-@ fouling agents mixed into paints to prevent marine encrustations on boats and ships .

In a 2011 paper , Cob and colleagues found that imposex rates are high in dog conch populations near Malaysian ports ; however , the researchers could not detect any cases of sterility in affected females . The authors concluded that females of L. canarium often develop a penis when seawater contains organotin compounds , but the phenomenon does not cause sterility in this species . The ability of the dog conch to survive despite imposex makes this species a suitable local bioindicator for organotin pollution . | wikipedia-2018 |
