" (Ancestral relations of Dolores Umbridge, perhaps?) As their power-hungry corruption grew, the Scourers set their sights on the wizarding community, with at least two "so-called Puritan judges" in the Salem Witch Trials of 1692-93 later identified as Scourers "who were paying off feuds that had developed while in America.

This account, which includes the histories of the Salem witch trials and the Scourers (a rogue band of magical mercenaries), explains why.

Not only did they fear discovery and violence that came with incidents like Salem, but people known as Scourers began popping up in the 1700s.

The vengeful Scourers, cast out from their people, passed on to their descendants an absolute conviction that magic was real, and the belief that witches and wizards ought to be exterminated wherever they were found.

While the first piece focussed on the 14th century and Native American witches and wizards, part two jumps forward to the bloodthirsty 17th century, which comes complete with religious intolerance, the Salem Witch Trials, and grim magical mercenaries known as "Scourers".

Throw in an internet hive of document-scourers, some of them interested parties, and you have a recipe for indiscriminate sharing, invasion of privacy and disinformation, at too great a speed and in too great a volume to be vetted.

As Pottermore notes: MACUSA's primary aim was to rid the continent of Scourers, corrupt wizards who had hunted their fellow magical beings for personal gain.... MACUSA's second great law enforcement challenge was the number of wizarding criminals who had fled to America from Europe and beyond, precisely because of the lack of organised law enforcement such as existed in their own countries.

We'd previously been informed that the first installment of the collection, "Fourteenth Century – Seventeenth Century," would "examine the early days of the magical community on the continent, the Native Americans and skin-walkers," before continuing to the "real histories of the Salem witch trials and the Scourers (a rogue band of magical mercenaries)," all of which would explain why it was apparently much more dangerous to be a witch or a wizard in North America than in Europe.

The union was founded in 1851 as the Huddersfield Operative Dyers' Association and Relief Society. A small, local union, by 1880 it had only about 150 members. However, it then decided to expand its remit, admitting workers in related jobs, such as finishers, millers and scourers, and admit workers in other areas of Yorkshire and Lancashire. In recognition of this, it renamed itself as the Huddersfield, Bradford, Barnsley and District Dyers, Finishers, Millers, Scourers and Kindred Trades Association.

There were sometimes contingents of foreign mercenaries, armed with cannon or handguns. The horsemen were generally restricted to "prickers" and "scourers"; i.e. scouting and foraging parties. Much like their campaigns in France, it was customary for the English gentry to fight entirely on foot.

Late on 16 February, Margaret's army swerved sharply west and captured the town of Dunstable. About 200 local people under the town butcher tried to resist them, but were easily dispersed. Warwick's "scourers" (scouts and patrols and foraging parties) failed to detect this move.

This act banned abattoirs and noxious trades from the city. Tanners, wool scourers and wool-washers, fellmongers, boiling down works and abattoirs had ten years to move their businesses outside city boundaries. Many of the trades moved to Redfern and Waterloo - attracted by the water. The sand hills still existed but by the late 1850s Redfern was a flourishing suburb housing 6,500 people.

In 2007 the Waimakariri was ranked as one of the ten most polluted of the larger rivers in New Zealand. Some of the pollution was caused by liquid wastes from industries such as a meat processing plant and wool scourers in the vicinity of the river. The wastes were discharged directly into it but as of 2012 it was piped to the municipal sewage treatment plant. There had been some non-compliance issues with the resource consents for water discharge.

The original inhabitants of the Burra area were the Ngadjuri Aboriginal people whose first Western contact was in 1839. The first European squatter in this region was William Peter, whose head station was Gum Creek near Manoora. Pastoralists grazed much of the Ngadjuri land from the 1840s and, although there was conflict, Ngadjuri people worked as shepherds and wool scourers, particularly once the area was emptied during the gold rushes of the 1850s. Their population was seriously depleted by introduced European diseases and they were reported to be extinct by 1878.

Hall, who says the French called it the "battle of the Spurs", centres the action around a hill, with English archers at the village of "Bomye." He has the French cavalry break after a show of English banners organized by the Clarenceux Herald Thomas Benolt. Hall mentions that Maximilian advised Henry to deploy some artillery on another hill "for out- scourers" but does not mention any effect on the outcome. Although Henry wished to ride into the battle, he stayed with the Emperor's foot soldiers on the advice of his council.

On one occasion in 1866, a chalk pit was dug above the horse's head by the scourers, presumably so that they did not need to transport the chalk from further afield, and subsequently scoured the horse with fresh chalk from the pit. According to Smith, writing in 2004, "this was a mistake as the pit never really grew over again properly and can still be seen quite clearly." During World War II, the horse was successfully concealed to hide it from the German air force. The horse was scoured in 1987 with the aid of aid of army helicopters helping to fly in fresh chalk.

Reference to the sources of smog, along with the earliest extant use of "pea- soup" as a descriptor, is found in a report by John Sartain published in 1820 on life as a young artist, recounting what it was like to > slink home through a fog as thick and as yellow as the pea-soup of the > eating house; return to your painting room ... having opened your window at > going out, to find the stink of the paint rendered worse, if possible, by > the entrance of the fog, which, being a compound from the effusions of gas > pipes, tan yards, chimneys, dyers, blanket scourers, breweries, sugar > bakers, and soap boilers, may easily be imagined not to improve the smell of > a painting room!

Recalling his arrival at Buckingham Palace to start as a kitchen apprentice, Tschumi described the Royal chef M. Menager (equivalent to chef de cuisine in a restaurant at the time), who had eighteen chefs working under him, eight of whom had their own tables in different parts of the kitchen. "These, I found out, were the master cooks, some of whom one day might rise to the position of chef, with large staffs of their own, In the meantime they worked under M. Menager's supervision ...... assisted by the heads of other sections, the two pastry cooks, two roast cooks, bakers, confectioners' chefs and two larder cooks. Then, in diminishing order of importance, came two assistant chefs, eight kitchen maids, six scullery maids, six scourers, and finally the four apprentices." Royal Chef: Forty Years with Royal Households by Gabriel Tschumi (as told to Joan Powe). Tschumi was successively promoted to Second Assistant Cook in 1905, Assistant Cook in 1906; Sixth Chief Cook in 1911; and Fifth Chief Cook 1918-19.
