Courts have been closed for various reasons. The county courts at Fishguard, Ruabon and Cowbridge were closed because it was considered "inexpedient" to continue to hold courts there. In other cases, it was thought that it would be "of advantage to the public" to move the location of a court: the court at Pembroke was replaced by one at Pembroke Dock and the court at Newbridge was replaced by one at Pontypridd for this reason.

Flagler also believed that linking Key West to the mainland after the United States announced in 1905 the construction of the Panama Canal, since the city was the United States' closest deep-water port to the canal, would be of advantage to Cuban and Latin America trade, as the opening of the canal would allow significant trade opportunities with the west. The construction of the Overseas Railroad required many engineering innovations as well as vast amounts of labor and monetary resources. At one time during construction, 4,000 men were employed. During the seven-year construction, three hurricanes threatened to halt the project.

These motions were also denied. The defendants were convicted and subsequently filed appeals. Exercising their only right to appeal as of right, they appealed to an intermediate Court of Appeals (District court of appeal of California, second appellate district), and, being indigent, applied to it for appointment of counsel to assist them on appeal. In accordance with a state rule of criminal procedure, that Court made an ex parte examination of the record, determined that appointment of counsel for petitioners would not be "of advantage to the defendant or helpful to the appellate court" and denied appointment of counsel.

In November, the Star Green 'Un commented that despite Wednesday's history of sound recruitment, they might not have realised how good Bentley would become. Coming into the side because of injury to the long-serving Tom Brittleton, he retained the right half position even after Brittleton's return to fitness, having "continued to play a very clever, brainy game. He tackles well, and, what's more, makes it his business to place the ball where it will be of advantage to his forwards." He made 34 appearances out of a possible 41 in 1914–15, at the end of which competitive football closed down for the duration of the First World War.

Early in 19th century a number of individuals felt the importance and necessity of providing a higher institution of learning, not only for the training of young men and women as teachers, but to furnish a preparatory school for students who might wish to enter college. The men of the period foresaw that the establishment of an academy at Farmington, Maine would be of advantage to the rising generation, consequently they took measures to procure a charter from the General Court of Massachusetts, which was granted February 13, 1807. The Academy was opened for instruction January 1, 1812. During the existence of this institution, young ladies were admitted to its instruction, sometimes in a separate department under the tuition of a preceptress, but more frequently in the main department.

"I sighed as a lover, I obeyed as a son." On returning to England he published his first work, the Essai sur l'étude de la littérature (Essay on the study of literature). The next major event Gibbon mentions was his taking a commission in the Hampshire militia, an experience which he tells us was later to be of advantage to him: > The discipline and evolutions of a modern battalion gave me a clearer notion > of the phalanx and the legion; and the captain of the Hampshire grenadiers > (the reader may smile) has not been useless to the historian of the Roman > empire. He then details his travels through France and on to Lausanne, where he formed a friendship with John Holroyd, later Lord Sheffield, which was to last for the rest of his life.
