GOODALL. 33 GOOBELL. His pictures were usually small subjects. He ex- hibited the "Lottery Ticket" at the Philadelphia Centennial of 1870, and publislied a series of Kiistie iikelches. — Frederick Trevelyax CJoodali. ( 1848-71 ) , son of Frederick Goodall, won the <,'old medal of the Royal Academy in ISCi'.l with his "Return of Ulysses," but lost his life through an accident at Capri, on the threshold of a success- ful career. — Howard Goodall (1850-74), young- est son of Frederick, exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1870 and 1873. GOOD BEHAVIOR. A popular phrase, used chielly as synonj'mous with keeping the peace. Thus^ if one person assaults or threatens another, or provokes him to a breach of the peace, the offense is punishable summarily by juslices of the peace, who. besides inllicting a fine, may bind over the offending party to keep the peace, and be of good behavior for a specified period. The mode of doing this is by requiring the offending party to enter into a recognizance with or with- out sureties, which is^ in fact, the giving of a bond for a specified sum to the court, and if it is broken, that is, if the recognizance is forfeited, then the offending parly may be again punished. In early English law the expression had a more strictly legal signification, and had refer- ence to the duty of chastity imposed upon a widow who enjoyed real property derived from her deceased husbandj as in the case of free bench ( q.v. ) . GOOD CONDUCT BADGES. Special dis- tinctions given in the United States Navj' for fidelity, zeal, and obedience, and not granted for the first term of enlistment under continuous service. At the expiration of subsequent re- enlistments for four years, within four months from date of discharge, men who are honorably discharged, who have sufficiently qualified in their duties, and who are recommended by their commanding officers, are entitled to these badges. The first badge is a medal ; subsequent badges are clasps, with the name of the vessel from which each was given eugravcd thereon, and are worn on a ribbon above the medal. Any one having received three such badges imder consecutive reenlist- ments is entitled to enlistment as a petty officer in the rating in which he is best qualified to serve, and can continue thereafter to hold the rating of a petty officer, from which he cannot be reduced excepting by sentence of court-mar- tial. If the holder of a good conduct badge com- mit an offense for which the commanding officer considers he should be punished by forfeiture of one or more badges, the offenses are inquired into by a board of three officers, whose finding de- cides whether or not the badge is to be retained. If taken away, subsequent good behavior for one year entitles the offender to one good conduct badge, provided the commanding officer recom- mends it. GOODE, George Brown (1851-90).
