Sir Leander Starr Jameson, 1st and only baronet |
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
The following biography of Jameson appeared in
the Australian monthly magazine "Parade" in |
|
|
|
its issue for September 1953:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Just before noon on January 2, 1896, a haggard
little man with the stamp of the born leader, |
|
|
|
peered through field glasses from the window of a
ruined farmhouse not far from the seething |
|
|
|
gold-mine town of Johannesburg. From the crest of
the hill above the farm a cloud of white |
|
|
|
dust was rising into the clear African sky.
Through the dust Boer troops could be seen dragging |
|
|
|
field guns into position. The man turned to the
desperate, half-starved group behind him and |
|
|
|
said bluntly: "We're done." Thus ended
one of the most gallant lost causes in British history. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The tough little man was Dr. Leander Starr
Jameson, an Edinburgh medico, whose historic raid |
|
|
|
into the Transvaal to emancipate British miners
from harsh Boer dominance ended in surrender |
|
|
|
at the tumbledown farmhouse on the veldt. The
British sent him to gaol for his "enterprise." |
|
|
|
They vindicated him three years later when they
had to throw all the national might into a |
|
|
|
costly
full-scale war to achieve the same end. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Leander Starr Jameson was born in Edinburgh on
February 9, 1853, youngest of 10 sons of a |
|
|
|
Scottish solicitor. He took his medical degree in
London in 1877, but his health was broken by |
|
|
|
overwork, and in the following year he went to
South Africa to set up practice in Kimberley, |
|
|
|
then
a roaring frontier mining town in the heart of the world's richest diamond
field. Cecil |
|
|
|
|
Rhodes,
Barney Barnato, Alfred Beit and other pioneers were scrambling ruthlessly
to |
|
|
|
|
amalgamate the small mining companies into a
handful of huge monopolies. East of the diamond |
|
|
|
fields were the Boer republics of the Orange Free
State and Transvaal, where, 50 years earlier, |
|
|
|
the descendants of the old Dutch settlers had
trekked from the Cape to escape British rule. |
|
|
|
Here the patriarchal, bearded Boer farmers lived
in primitive communities, reading their Bibles |
|
|
|
and flogging their Kaffirs with equal heartiness.
Northwards from Kimberley stretched 1000 miles |
|
|
|
of rolling grasslands, sparsely inhabited by
warlike Bantu tribes. Most powerful were the |
|
|
|
|
Matabele, who, under their cruel but able chief
Lobengula, held what is now Rhodesia |
|
|
|
|
[Zimbabwe]
in a grip of bloodshed and terror. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The scene fired Jameson's imagination. He became
one of Cecil Rhodes' "Twelve Apostles," who |
|
|
|
met at Rhodes' house to weave grandiose plans for
a new British empire stretching from the |
|
|
|
Cape, through Central Africa to Cairo and the
Mediterranean. They were rudely jolted in 1887 |
|
|
|
when Portugal claimed all the land between
East-Coast Mozambique and Portuguese West |
|
|
|
Africa. Britain rejected the claim, but Rhodes
saw the red light. If Portugal persisted, she would |
|
|
|
effectively bar his drive north from the Cape to
Cairo. The key was possession of Lobengula's |
|
|
|
Matabele territory. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Portuguese, German and Belgian colonists were
already angling for Lobengula's friendship. They |
|
|
|
loaded him with presents of rifles, top hats,
bath chairs, and champagne. They were somewhat |
|
|
|
grieved
when, after cheerfully accepting the presents. Lobengula still encouraged his
warriors |
|
|
|
to stab to death all Europeans who tried to
settle in his territory. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In October, 1888, Dr. Jameson offered to go to
Lobengula's great kraal at Bulawayo in his |
|
|
|
professional capacity. He had heard that the
black emperor was suffering from gout. The plan |
|
|
|
succeeded. Lobengula celebrated his return to
health by ceremonially slaughtering all the witch |
|
|
|
doctors whose magic had failed. He then made
Jameson Induna (chief) of his favourite regiment, |
|
|
|
investing him with ox-hide shield, ostrich plume
head-dress and two assegais at a barbaric |
|
|
|
ceremony highlighted by wild dancing and the
slaughter of oxen. He readily agreed to negotiate |
|
|
|
a treaty. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Lobengula could not read English. The
interpreter, it was subsequently claimed, was bribed to |
|
|
|
misinterpret. It is generally conceded that
Lobengula had no idea that he was signing away "all |
|
|
|
the metals and minerals" in his vast
territory for £100 a month and a supply of rifles and |
|
|
|
|
ammunition. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Rhodes was delighted with Jameson's coup. He
immediately formed the British South Africa |
|
|
|
Company under royal charter to exploit his new
"empire." The exultant Jameson threw up his |
|
|
|
practice and rode across Matabeleland with the
first 200 pioneer settlers to establish a British |
|
|
|
settlement and
fort at Salisbury. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In 1891 Jameson was on the move again. This time
he pushed into wild country on the borders |
|
|
|
of Portuguese Mozambique, seeking more
concessions for the insatiable Rhodes. His party was |
|
|
|
ambushed and almost wiped out by natives on the
jungle-clad banks of the Pungwe River. |
|
|
|
Jameson and a few others escaped almost naked and
rowed themselves down river to the |
|
|
|
hostile Portuguese port of Beira. Blistered by
the sun, weak and delirious from fever, they were |
|
|
|
thrown into prison by the Portuguese governor,
who regarded them as alien filibusters. After a |
|
|
|
while he released them and sent them back to
Capetown. Portugal lodged a strong protest with |
|
|
|
the British Government, which, as usual, disowned
the expedition. Jameson, however, had |
|
|
|
blazed the trail. Soon all the territory now
known as Mashonaland was in British hands. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
Matabele concessions cost the British South Africa Company nearly £250,000 in
the first |
|
|
|
two years. Rhodes was aghast and feared
bankruptcy. Again he was saved by Jameson. "Make |
|
|
|
me administrator," said the fiery little
doctor, "and I'll run the territory on £40,000 a year." He |
|
|
|
was as good as his word, despite the bloody
rebellion of his "friend" Lobengula in 1893, which |
|
|
|
ended in the savage chief being driven from his
kraal at Bulawayo to an unknown grave. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Meanwhile trouble brewed between British
settlers and the Boer Republic of the Transvaal, |
|
|
|
ruled despotically by fanatical President
"Oom Paul" Kruger, who was determined to preserve |
|
|
|
the old pastoral life of the Boer farmers from
the influence of the hated British. The discovery |
|
|
|
of gold on the Rand in 1886 shattered his narrow
policy. Thousands of Europeans, mostly |
|
|
|
|
British, flocked to the booming mining centre of
Johannesburg, which grew almost overnight |
|
|
|
from a shanty village to a town of 100,000 people. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The "uitlanders," as Kruger called
them, outnumbered the Boers by four to one. They paid nine- |
|
|
|
tenths of the taxes, but were rigidly excluded
from any share in the government. Discontent |
|
|
|
reached boiling point in 1895. British residents
of Johannesburg, led by Col. Frank Rhodes |
|
|
|
|
(brother
of Cecil Rhodes) and Lionel Phillips (qv) (President of the Chamber of
Mines), |
|
|
|
|
established a National Union of Reformers, which
plotted to seize the town and proclaim their |
|
|
|
independence from Kruger's government. Cecil
Rhodes, now Premier of Cape Colony and chief |
|
|
|
of the biggest Rand mining company, sent the
rebels arms, ammunition and money. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The National Union smuggled into Johannesburg
2000 rifles, a dozen Maxim machine-guns, and |
|
|
|
100,000 rounds of ammunition. They planned to
throw the Boers out of Johannesburg, then |
|
|
|
march on Pretoria - the Transvaal capital - blow
up the arsenal, arrest Kruger and form a |
|
|
|
|
provisional government. Kruger, who had spies
among the rebels, replied by building a fort |
|
|
|
outside Johannesburg and concentrating 6000 Boer
troops within a few miles of the town. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Jameson, still administering the South Africa
Company from Fort Salisbury, appealed to Rhodes |
|
|
|
to
allow him to dash into the Transvaal with a body of the British South Africa
Company's |
|
|
|
police as soon as the rising broke out. Rhodes
agreed on the clear understanding that Jameson |
|
|
|
would not move till the Reform Union sent him a
message appealing for help. In the meantime, |
|
|
|
cautious
counsels were prevailing in Johannesburg. Sir Hercules Robinson, British
High |
|
|
|
|
Commissioner at the Cape, was already on his way
to Pretoria to act as mediator between the |
|
|
|
disgruntled
British miners and the Boers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
impetuous Jameson raved at what he considered a lost opportunity. He had
already |
|
|
|
|
collected 500 mounted men, eight Maxim guns and
three field guns at Pitsani, near Mafeking, |
|
|
|
on the Transvaal border. Feverish with
impatience, he sent frantic messages to Rhodes saying |
|
|
|
he was ready to "kick the Dutch burghers all
round the Transvaal," but Rhodes cautiously |
|
|
|
|
advised him to wait. Kruger also was not anxious
for a flare-up. When Boer army chiefs urged |
|
|
|
him to attack first, he pulled his beard and
muttered: "The tortoise has to stick its head from |
|
|
|
its shell before you can chop it off." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'On Sunday, December 29, 1895, Jameson rashly
decided to force the issue, firmly believing |
|
|
|
direct action would inspire the wavering rebels
in Johannesburg. Wearing a light overcoat over |
|
|
|
his civilian clothes, he paraded his little force
at Pitsani. Three hours later the invaders crossed |
|
|
|
the border. They met no opposition. Messages were
sent from Johannesburg asking them to |
|
|
|
withdraw, but Jameson ignored them. On the third
day the "invaders" reached Krugersdorp, 30 |
|
|
|
miles from Johannesburg. Jameson sent a message
to the city urging the rebels to send an |
|
|
|
escort of at least 200 men "to show I am not
a pirate." No help came. Jameson, bitterly |
|
|
|
|
disillusioned, decided on a gambler's throw - a
direct swoop on Pretoria, the Boer capital. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Jameson led his men across the rugged hills to
the hamlet of Doornkop, where Commandant |
|
|
|
Cronje's
Boer troops began to close in on him. Some of Jameson's men were trapped in
a |
|
|
|
|
swamp, where the Boers picked them off with
rifles as they floundered helplessly. That night |
|
|
|
the remainder, weary, foodless and despairing,
camped in a narrow gully. All night the Boers |
|
|
|
poured volleys into the camp till Jameson had
lost 28 killed and 30 wounded. When dawn broke |
|
|
|
his force was completely surrounded. When he saw
the black muzzles of Boer guns lined up on |
|
|
|
the ridge, he knew the only alternative to
annihilation was surrender. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Jameson and his men were taken in ox carts to
Pretoria, where they were imprisoned for six |
|
|
|
weeks in the squalid town gaol till Kruger, on
the advice of Sir Hercules Robinson, handed them |
|
|
|
over to the British Government for trial. The
Government ran true to form in dealing with lost |
|
|
|
causes. Rhodes was forced to resign the
Premiership and other offices. Jameson was taken |
|
|
|
ignominiously to London, where in June, 1896, he
was sentenced to 15 months' imprisonment in |
|
|
|
Holloway Gaol. Six months later he was quietly
released because of ill-health. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He returned to South Africa, where he was hailed
as a hero. In 1904, with the Boer War won, |
|
|
|
Jameson became Premier of Cape Colony. When in
1910 the new Dominion was formed by the |
|
|
|
union of the British colonies of the Cape and
Natal with the former Boer lands of the Transvaal |
|
|
|
and Orange Free State, Jameson was knighted for
his part in bringing it about. In 1911 he was |
|
|
|
made a baronet. He returned to England in 1912
and died in London on November 26, 1917.' |
|
|
|
[In May 1920 his body was taken to Rhodesia and
buried near Cecil Rhodes]. |

The Jardine family and the legend of Spedlins
Tower |
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
The following version of the legend of Spedlins
Tower appeared in the 'Camperdown Chronicle' |
|
|
|
of 18 March 1930. Camperdown is a small town in
south-western Victoria, Australia. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A
few miles north of Lochmaben, on the banks of the River Annan, stands
Spedlins Tower. |
|
|
|
[In a more modern context, it may be better to
say that Spedlins Tower stands a few miles |
|
|
|
north of Lockerbie, scene of the infamous Pan Am
flight 103 bombing in 1988]. A massive heap |
|
|
|
now in ruins, it was for centuries the home of a
noted Border family, the Jardines of Applegirth. |
|
|
|

'A strange ghost story, founded on facts, is

|
'At the entrance to the tower is a stone stair,
and on the first landing of this stair is a massive |
|
|
|
wooden trapdoor leading to the dungeon. The story
is in close connection with this dungeon. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Early
in the 17th century [other versions place the events during the reign of
Charles II], a |
|
|
|
grain
mill that stood in close proximity to the tower was burned down. [Dunty]
Porteous, the |
|
|
|
miller, being accused of wilfully setting it on
fire, fled, but was arrested on the shores of the |
|
|
|
Solway and confined in the dungeon by order of
Alexander Jardine, the laird, who held judicial |
|
|
|
powers in the district. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Shortly after this the laird, as one of the
members of Parliament for Dumfriesshire, was |
|
|
|
|
summoned to Edinburgh. Before he started he gave
full instructions that the prisoner was to |
|
|
|
be well looked after and fed; but, unfortunately,
he took the key of the dungeon away with |
|
|
|
him, and only found out his mistake on reaching
the end of his journey. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He was horrified at the discovery, for he knew
that this was the only means of getting food |
|
|
|
and water to the prisoner, and a special horseman
was at once dispatched with the key, and |
|
|
|
instructed to ride with all speed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Meanwhile, at the tower every nook and corner
had been searched for it, and desperate |
|
|
|
|
efforts made to force the lock and bolts. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The piercing cries of the prisoner nearly drove
the laird's wife out of her mind, and besides |
|
|
|
she had the thought of the terrible slur that
would be cast on the good name of Jardine if |
|
|
|
anyone died for want of food in their stronghold. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'As soon as the horseman arrived, the door was
opened and a ghastly sight met the eyes |
|
|
|
|
of the warders, for there on the floor lay the
prisoner, dead, having gnawed nearly all the |
|
|
|
flesh off one of his arms in an attempt to
appease the pangs of hunger. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The tragedy caused a great sensation, and as
those were the days of superstition the |
|
|
|
|
man's ghost naturally began to appear. The night
watchman saw him running round waving |
|
|
|
his blood-stained arm above his head, and the
inmates of the tower could not sleep for the |
|
|
|
noise he made. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The place quickly got a bad name, and everyone
went in fear and trembling of Dunty as the |
|
|
|
ghost was called (and he still goes by this name
in the district); peasants avoided the tower |
|
|
|
after dark and even warriors, compelled to pass
that way at night, would brace themselves |
|
|
|
up and grip their swords tightly. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The unhappy laird tried every means he could
think of to get rid of his unwelcome guest |
|
|
|
|
and was almost in despair, when a priest living
on Tweedside came and volunteered to |
|
|
|
|
pacify it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He brought with him a large black lettered
Bible, which he opened and held at arm's length, |
|
|
|
and then, accompanied by attendants swinging
censers and carrying lighted tapers, he |
|
|
|
|
proceeded to the dungeon where the prisoner died,
next through the great hall and its alcoves, |
|
|
|
and then through the upper chambers, prayers
being chanted as he passed through them. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Finally he carried the Bible to one of the
window sills in the great hall and there deposited it |
|
|
|
to act as the family's guardian, but he warned
them if ever the Bible was removed the ghost |
|
|
|
would return with worse powers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Bible remained there till the tower was
abandoned as a place of residence at the end of |
|
|
|
the century, and was then removed to the new
mansion on the other side of the river to |
|
|
|
|
continue its good work. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The tower and estates passed by sale out of the
family of the Jardines of Applegirth in 1889, |
|
|
|
but the Bible is still preserved as one of their
most cherished heirlooms. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Dunty, however, is still accused of periodically
paying visits to members of the family.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To this day, the folklore of the area says that,
if you poke a stick into the dungeon, it will |
|
|
|
be half-chewed when it is withdrawn. |

Sir Henry Felix Jervis-White-Jervis, 5th and last
baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following article appeared in the 'New York
Times' of 20 January 1943:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'By
the death of Sir John Henry Jervis-White-Jervis in London, his brother, Henry
Felix, known |
|
|
|
as plain "Cap'n" Jervis to residents of
Callender [Ontario, Canada] for more than a half century, |
|
|
|
learned today that he had become fifth baronet of
the line. He was shocked by the news |
|
|
|
|
today of his accession to the title, but declined
to see anyone but close friends. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Declaring he had "nothing to say," the
83-year-old former lake captain and lumberman shut |
|
|
|
the door on reporters. Friends said it was
probably thirty years since Sir Henry last saw his |
|
|
|
brother. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A resident of Callender since 1890, Sir Henry,
who still operates a tourist camp and boat- |
|
|
|
renting service here despite his age, was the
youngest of three brothers. The other two died |
|
|
|
without leaving any sons, making him heir to the
title. It is not known whether any estate |
|
|
|
accompanies the title, but in any event, those
who know Sir Henry do not expect him to leave |
|
|
|
his present home because of his age. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir Henry first came to Canada in the early
Eighteen Eighties after two years of studying |
|
|
|
|
forestry in Norway and Sweden. For a number of
years he was connected with the Lands and |
|
|
|
Forest Department, surveying lots for
homesteading, but he is probably best known as a lake- |
|
|
|
boat operator.' |

Sir William Johnson, 1st baronet [GB 1755] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir William spent all his adult life in America,
where he became a very powerful figure, due |
|
|
|
|
largely to the rapport he established with the
native Indian tribes. The following is his entry in |
|
|
|
the 1920 edition of "The Encyclopedia
Americana":- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'JOHNSON, SIR William, British
superintendent-general of Indian affairs in North America: b. |
|
|
|
Smithtown, County Meath, Ireland, 1715; d. near
Johnstown, N.Y., 11 July 1774. His uncle, |
|
|
|
Sir Peter Warren, offered his nephew the
management of his entire property in New York, if |
|
|
|
the
latter would undertake its improvement and settlement. Johnson accepted the
offer and |
|
|
|
in
1738 established himself upon a tract of land on the south side of the
Mohawk, about 25 |
|
|
|
miles from Schenectady, which Sir Peter had
called Warrensburgh. In addition to the settling |
|
|
|
and improving of the country, he embarked in
trade with the Indians, whom he always treated |
|
|
|
with perfect honesty and justice. He became a
master of their language, speaking many of their |
|
|
|
dialects as perfectly as they did themselves and
was thoroughly acquainted with their beliefs |
|
|
|
and customs. He was adopted by the Mohawks as one
of their tribe, chosen a sachem |
|
|
|
|
the Mohawks as one of their own tribe, chosen a
sachem [chief] and named Wariaghejage or |
|
|
|
Warraghiaghy, "he who has charge of
affairs." In 1744 he was appointed colonel of the Six |
|
|
|
Nations, in 1746 commissioner of New York for
Indian affairs. In 1750 he became a member of |
|
|
|
the provincial council. In 1754 be attended as
one of the delegates from New York the congress |
|
|
|
of Albany and also the great council held with
the Indians on that occasion, at which they |
|
|
|
strongly urged his reappointment as their
superintendent. At the council of Alexandria, 14 April |
|
|
|
1755, he was sent for by [General Edward]
Braddock [1695-1755] and commissioned by him |
|
|
|
"sole superintendent of the affairs of the
Six United Nations, their allies and dependents." He |
|
|
|
was
also, pursuant to the determination of that council, created a major-general
and |
|
|
|
|
commander-in-chief of the provincial forces
destined for the expedition against Crown Point. At |
|
|
|
the head of these forces, in September 1755, he
defeated Baron Dieskau at Lake George. This |
|
|
|
victory
saved the colony from the French and Johnson received the thanks of
Parliament for his |
|
|
|
victory,
was voted £5,000 and on 27 Nov. 1755, created a baronet of Great Britain. On
his |
|
|
|
arrival at Lac Saint Sacrament a few days before
this battle, he gave to it the name of Lake |
|
|
|
George, "not only in honor of his majesty,
but to assert his undoubted domain here." In March |
|
|
|
1756
he received from George II a commission as "colonel, agent, and sole
superintendent of |
|
|
|
the
affairs of the Six Nations, and other northern Indians." He held this
office for the rest of his |
|
|
|
life. In 1758 was present with Abercrombie at
Ticonderoga. General Prideaux led the expedition |
|
|
|
against
Fort Niagara in 1759. Johnson was second in command and upon the death of
Prideaux, |
|
|
|
before that fort, succeeded to the command in
chief. With upward of 1,000 Indian allies he |
|
|
|
continued the siege with great vigor and cut to
pieces the French army. He led the same Indian |
|
|
|
allies
the following year in the Canadian expedition of Amherst [qv] and was present
at the |
|
|
|
capitulation of Montreal and the surrender of
Canada to the British arms in 1 760. The war was |
|
|
|
now at an end and the king granted to Sir William
for his services a tract of about 10,000 acres |
|
|
|
of land, north of the Mohawk. In 1764, the
country being at peace and the Indians perfectly |
|
|
|
contented,
Sir William erected Johnson Hall, a large wooden edifice still standing. The
village of |
|
|
|
Johnstown, with stores, an inn, a courthouse and
an Episcopal church was soon laid out. In |
|
|
|
1772 it became the shire town of Tryon County.
Johnson lived in the style of an old English |
|
|
|
baron of former days and exercised a liberal
hospitality. In 1768 he concluded the Treaty of |
|
|
|
Fort
Stanwix. He wrote 'The Language) Customs and Manners of the Six Nations,'
published |
|
|
|
in Proceedings of the Philosophical Society of
Philadelphia (1772) and his letters have great |
|
|
|
historical value.' |

Sir John Johnston, 3rd baronet [NS 1626] |

|

The following is an extract from the Newgate
Calendar:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir John Johnston was born at Kirkcaldy, in
Fifeshire. His father had had a good estate, but |
|
|
|
had diminished it by extravagant living, so Sir
John went young into the army to improve his |
|
|
|
fortune. He went over to Ireland, where he
thought to better his circumstances by marriage; |
|
|
|
and getting into the acquaintance of a Mr
Magrath, in the county of Clare, he, by his urbane |
|
|
|
conversation, so gained his good opinion, that he
frequently invited him to dinner. Mr Magrath |
|
|
|
having a daughter, with ten thousand pounds as
her portion, Sir John took every opportunity |
|
|
|
to insinuate himself into her company, and so far
gained upon her affections as to obtain her |
|
|
|
consent to elope with him; but the father, having
some hints given him of their private |
|
|
|
|
courtship, kept a very watchful eye over their
actions, and at last, being confirmed in his |
|
|
|
|
suspicions, forbade Sir John his house, and kept
his daughter close. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Miss Magrath being uneasy under her confinement,
and deprived of the company of Sir John, |
|
|
|
whom she loved to distraction, made a kinswoman
her confidante, and entrusted her with a |
|
|
|
letter to Sir John, to let him know how uneasy
her life was, and that if he would come to |
|
|
|
|
such a place, at a stated time, she would
endeavour to make her escape, and meet him. But |
|
|
|
the
lady, thinking she should gain most by obliging her uncle, delivered the
letter to him, |
|
|
|
|
instead of Sir John. Mr Magrath, having read it,
sealed it up again, and sent it to Sir John, who |
|
|
|
received it with a great deal of satisfaction,
and immediately wrote an answer, and returned it |
|
|
|
by
the same messenger. But, repairing to the place of rendezvous, instead of
meeting the |
|
|
|
lady, he fell into an ambuscade of fellows with
sticks and clubs, who beat him so unmercifully |
|
|
|
that he promised to relinquish his pursuit. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Having been in London some time, and spent his
money, he was obliged to apply to some of |
|
|
|
his countrymen for support; and Captain James
Campbell, brother of the Earl of Argyll, having |
|
|
|
a design to steal an heiress, one Miss Mary
Wharton, he and Mr Montgomery were assistants |
|
|
|
in the affair. Miss Wharton was the daughter of
Philip Wharton, Esq., and at the age of 13, by |
|
|
|
his death, inherited £1500 per annum, besides a
personal property to the amount of £1000. |
|
|
|
This young lady resided with her mother in Great
Queen Street, and Captain James Campbell, |
|
|
|
brother
of the Earl of Argyll, wishing to possess so rich a prize, determined to
marry her |
|
|
|
|
perforce, and for that purpose prevailed upon Sir
John Johnston and Archibald Montgomery |
|
|
|
to assist him in conveying Miss Wharton from her
home, which being done, and a reward of |
|
|
|
£100 offered for the apprehension of Captain
Campbell and £50 a-piece for him and Mr |
|
|
|
|
Montgomery. Sir John, being betrayed by his
landlord, was apprehended and indicted for it, |
|
|
|
the 11th of December 1690. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The evidence was, in substance, that Miss Mary
Wharton, being an heiress of considerable |
|
|
|
fortune, and under the care of her guardian (Mr
Bierly), was decoyed out on the 10th of |
|
|
|
|
November, and being met with by Sir John
Johnston, Captain Campbell and Mr Montgomery, in |
|
|
|
Queen Street, was forced into a coach with six
horses (appointed to wait there by Captain |
|
|
|
Campbell)
and carried to the coachman's house, and there married to Captain
Campbell, |
|
|
|
|
against
the consent of herself, or knowledge of her guardian. The jury having found
the |
|
|
|
|
prisoner guilty, he received sentence of death. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The enterprise succeeded but too well to
Johnston's cost. Campbell, who was the real culprit, |
|
|
|
escaped punishment, and married Margaret Leslie,
daughter of David Lord Newark, after |
|
|
|
|
Parliament
had dissolved his first marriage; but every effort to save Johnston
proved |
|
|
|
|
ineffectual. Miss Wharton afterwards married
Colonel Bierly, who commanded a regiment of |
|
|
|
horse in the service of William III. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the place of execution, Sir John addressed the
spectators in a long speech, in which he |
|
|
|
not only endeavoured to make it appear he was
blameless in the transaction for which he |
|
|
|
|
suffered, but that he had been greatly wronged in
printed papers, in which he was charged |
|
|
|
with a rape at Chester, and a similar crime at
Utrecht, in Holland. He was executed at Tyburn, |
|
|
|
the 23rd of December 1690. |

since he claimed |

the title twenty-two years ago. |

'As
a result of the article which appeared in the "Press and Journal"
last January, a letter has |
|
|
|
been received from Mobile, Alabama, U.S.A.,
written by Sir Thomas Johnston. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Sir Thomas in his letter has provided all
the facts that prove without doubt that he is the rightful |
|
|
|
bearer of the title," Mr. Hankinson told the
"Press and Journal." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"He says he was born on December 15, 1857,
and that his father, William Johnston, was killed in |
|
|
|
a hurricane in 1906. Sir Thomas adds that he has
seven children, five boys and two girls, his |
|
|
|
heir being his eldest son, William John Johnston. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"As presumably Sir Thomas is a naturalised
American citizen, he will not be able to use his title |
|
|
|
in the United States. But he can of course assume
the title if ever he comes to Britain." |

'The
Johnstons first made their appearance in Aberdeenshire in the reign of David
II, when the |
|
|
|
head
of the family became secretary to the then Earl of Mar and acquired the
estate of |
|
|
|
|
Caskieben (now Keithall) by marriage. Later and
at various times the family held land at Crimond, |
|
|
|
Ballindalloch,
Craig, Cordyce (now Caskieben), Bishopstown, and Hilton, on the outskirts
of |
|
|
|
|
Aberdeen. |
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Charles
I created the laird of Caskieben a baronet of Nova Scotia in 1626, according
to the |
|
|
|
official record, but in the patent that was in
possession of the family the date was 1625, which |
|
|
|
would
make the Johnston baronetcy the premier baronetcy. Aberdeenshire already had
the |
|
|
|
|
premier Marquessate (Huntly), the premier Earldom
(Mar), and the premier Barony (Forbes). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

'The
2nd baronet sold Caskieben in 1660 to the Keiths. The first baronet's uncle,
Arthur Johnston, |
|
|
|
[1579-1641] the famous Latin poet, was physician
to Charles I and wrote Latin versions of the |

Sir Thomas Judkin-Fitzgerald, 3rd baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir Thomas committed suicide by drowning himself.
The following report of the subsequent |
|
|
|
inquest appeared in 'The Hull Packet and East
Riding Times' of 6 May 1864:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'On
Friday last an inquest was held by Dr Morissy, coroner of the Dublin
district, on the body |
|
|
|
of Sir Thomas Judkin Fitzgerald, who had
committed suicide by drowning himself in the River Suir |
|
|
|
on the Tuesday night previous. He was of an
ancient family, and competent estates, but the |
|
|
|
Fitzgeralds bear upon their ancestral name a
blazonry of misfortune………. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir
Thomas, we are told, was deeply involved in debt; his liabilities pressed
heavily upon him; he |
|
|
|
had been badgered by money lenders, solicitors,
and the entire tribe of harpies who find their |
|
|
|
favourite prey in an easygoing Irish landlord.
And this torture, it would seem, had lasted for a |
|
|
|
considerable time. There was at the last moment
an execution in his house for £300, and that |
|
|
|
drove the unhappy man to his deed of
self-immolation. Not through the inquest, or any other |
|
|
|
medium, shall we ever learn the full detail of
the agony which rent his brain, and whirled him |
|
|
|
away, so to speak, from his bed to the brink of
the deep stream; but enough is known to |
|
|
|
|
account for the act of madness committed by a man
of violent temper, of sanguine hopes, of |
|
|
|
gloomy fears, of every contradiction and
intensity indeed which is possible in human nature, |
|
|
|
wanting the strength of Christian faith and
forbearance under suffering. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'This frenzied bankrupt had been for a week
engaged in Dublin, in endeavouring to settle with |
|
|
|
his more obdurate creditors, to raise a loan, or
otherwise to avert the scandal of an avowed |
|
|
|
financial collapse. These efforts failed, and
with a deliberation which left a terrible question |
|
|
|
for the jury to answer, Sir Thomas Judkin
Fitzgerald sat down in the Irish capital, and wrote a |
|
|
|
letter to his attorney, quitting Dublin
immediately afterwards by train. The solicitor, apparently |
|
|
|
after some delay, opened the epistle addressed to
him, and found directions for the finding of |
|
|
|
his client's body. Instantly the benevolent law
was put in force; telegrams were despatched |
|
|
|
for the peremptory arrest of the Lord of Golden
Hills; but the murder had been done before the |
|
|
|
alarm was sounded, and the 'dark night's work'
was over. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Silent and moody, the baronet had driven a car
from Goold-cross station to Golden Hills; he |
|
|
|
reached
home half an hour after midnight; the butler waited for him; he visited his
wife for a |
|
|
|
few minutes in her own room; he took tea, and
'ordered the things away' as usual; he drank no |
|
|
|
wine or spirits - and was not in the habit of
drinking them. And then, unbarring the hall door, he |
|
|
|
went out alone into
the park. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Presently a great fear came over the mind of his
miserable wife. She aroused the household, |
|
|
|
employing
a strange expression - 'Sir Thomas has gone out somewhere, and he has
not |
|
|
|
|
returned;
I fear he has got a weakness' - a phrase indicating that he had exhibited
dangerous |
|
|
|
eccentricities upon previous occasions. Men with
lanterns searched the grounds until daylight, |
|
|
|
and not till then was a letter found, in which
Sir Thomas Judkin Fitzgerald declared his resolve |
|
|
|
to die. How abject are the last words of the
suicide, 'My body will be found in the weir, at that |
|
|
|
part called the Pig-hole.' And 'my poor body will
be found in the Suir at Pig-hole, where all the |
|
|
|
salmon
are taken, near where the white-thorn is that was lately cut.' See how, amid
the |
|
|
|
|
insanity and distraction of that fearful
midnight, method, order, and precaution prevailed in the |
|
|
|
self-murderer's
brain; he dreaded lest his remains should not be recovered from the water;
he |
|
|
|
fixed upon the particular locality of his death;
he threw off hat and coat before taking that |
|
|
|
horrible
plunge into the dark; in all things he acted as a rational being except in
the one ghastly, |
|
|
|
guilty deed of embracing death in order to escape
the clutches of a sheriff's officer. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'From all that it is possible to learn, we may
infer that Sir Thomas wandered about the estate |
|
|
|
which was so encumbered for hours before he
rushed down [to] the black water by the weir. |
|
|
|
We must assume, also, that he drugged himself
before leaping into the stream, because he |
|
|
|
was an admirable swimmer, and the common report
went so far as to declare that he could |
|
|
|
not drown himself if he felt inclined. However,
there he floated in mid-river on Wednesday |
|
|
|
morning, with foam upon his lips and his lungs
still warm, so that hours must have elapsed |
|
|
|
between
his mad exit from the house at Golden Hills and the struggling rush into the
weedy |
|
|
|
Suir.' |
