baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
From the 'Los Angeles Times' of 30 September
1911:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir Edmund Lacon was killed last night by an
automobile going over a hill and upsetting |
|
|
|
|
about two miles from here [Vernon, British
Columbia]. Sir Edmund had been in Vernon all day |
|
|
|
and was returning to his ranch alone. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He had left Vernon about 7 o'clock after
bringing his mother to Vernon for the train to |
|
|
|
|
Vancouver. The injured man was found by a
passer-by and died a few minutes after telling |
|
|
|
his name. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir Edmund Beecroft Francis Heathcote Lacon,
fifth baron[et] of the name, was born in 1878. |
|
|
|
He was a captain in the Twelfth Lancers and
formerly lieutenant on the Third Battalion, Norfolk |
|
|
|
Regiment.
He served in the South African war of 1900-1901, and gained two medals. He
was |
|
|
|
the son of Thomas B[eecroft] U[ssher] Lacon,
and Florence, daughter of R.G. Banks of Toronto, |
|
|
|
His heir is George Howard [Haworth] Ussher, who
was born in 1881.' |

Sir John Lade, 2nd baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following entry appeared in "The
Oracle and Public Advertiser" on 1 October 1795:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A curious circumstance occurred at Brighton on
Monday. - Sir John Lade, for a trifling wager, |
|
|
|
undertook to carry Lord Cholmondeley [George
James, 4th Earl of Cholmondeley and later 1st |
|
|
|
Marquess of Cholmondeley] on his back, from opposite the
Pavilion twice round the Steine [sic]. |
|
|
|
Several
Ladies attended to be spectators of this extraordinary feat of the dwarf
carrying a |
|
|
|
giant
[Sir John was apparently a small man, and Cholmondeley a large one]. When his
lordship |
|
|
|
declared himself ready, Sir John desired he
should strip. "Strip!"
exclaimed the other; "why, |
|
|
|
surely,
you promised to carry me in my clothes!" - "By no means,"
replied the Baronet: "I |
|
|
|
|
engaged to carry you, but not an inch of clothes. - So therefore, my Lord, make
ready, and |
|
|
|
let us not disappoint the Ladies." After much laughable altercation, it was
decided at length |
|
|
|
that Sir John had won his wager, the peer
declining to exhibit in puris naturalibus.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir Guy Francis William Laking, 3rd baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After Sir Francis's sudden death at the age of
only 26, the subsequent inquest was reported |
|
|
|
in the London "Telegraph" of 9 August 1930:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The inquest on Sir Francis Laking, 26, who
died in St. George's Hospital on Monday after being |
|
|
|
taken ill the previous day, was held by Mr.
Ingleby Oddie at the Westminster Coroner's Court |
|
|
|
yesterday. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The third baronet, Sir Francis was the
grandson of Sir Francis Henry Laking, one of the most |
|
|
|
famous surgeons of his time, who was
surgeon-apothecary to Queen Victoria, King Edward and |
|
|
|
King George. Sir Francis's father, the second
baronet, was for many years Keeper of the King's |
|
|
|
Armoury. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Joan Francis Laking, of Fernshaw-road,
Chelsea, said that her brother was unmarried and of |
|
|
|
independent means. She last saw him on July 25,
when she lunched with him at a restaurant. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Phillip
Williams Till, retired colonel, of 107, Ebury-street, said that Sir Francis
Laking had |
|
|
|
|
occupied rooms at that address for about four
months. He was living alone there. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Coroner: What had been his health lately?
- Quite good so far as we knew. Did you know |
|
|
|
anything about his habits as regards drink? - I
only saw him once under the influence of drink. |
|
|
|
You
would call him a temperate man? - Yes. Did he take drugs at all as far as you
know? - |
|
|
|
Not so far as I know. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He was taken ill about midday on the Sunday
previous to his death. He would be in bed then, |
|
|
|
would he? - He still was in bed as a matter of
fact, but he was getting up for the purpose of |
|
|
|
going away. My wife saw him, and he said he was
not feeling too well. She tried to persuade |
|
|
|
him not to go. I went to see him, and saw that
there was something seriously wrong, and I |
|
|
|
telephoned to his sister and to a local doctor.
He was then semi-conscious. His sister arrived |
|
|
|
at about two or half-past, and he was taken to
hospital. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Dr. William Winch, house physician at St.
George's Hospital, said that Sir Francis was never |
|
|
|
roused except to irritability, and was never
conscious. He was in a very collapsed condition, |
|
|
|
his
temperate was 95, his pulse very feeble, and breathing very laboured. The
pupils of his |
|
|
|
eyes were dilated and fixed. He died suddenly
early the next morning. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Dr. John Taylor, pathologist, St. George's
Hospital, who made a post mortem examination, said |
|
|
|
that
Sir Francis was rather abnormally fat for his age. The pancreas was,
practically speaking, |
|
|
|
absent, its place being taken by an internal
cyst the size of a cocoanut. The cause of death |
|
|
|
appeared to have been diabetes, with coma,
caused by obstruction of the pancreas by a cyst |
|
|
|
which had been there a long time. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Coroner: It is a natural death? - Yes.
There was no trace of his having taken poison? - |
|
|
|
None at all. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The coroner recorded a verdict of natural death
from diabetic coma consequent upon the cyst.' |
|

Sir Curtis George Lampson, 3rd baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In April 1940, Sir Curtis was convicted of
attempting to obtain money by false pretences, for |
|
|
|
which
he received a sentence of 18 months' imprisonment. The first report below
appeared in |
|
|
|
"The Times" of 7 March 1940:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir Curtis George Lampson, Bt., 50, described
as a lecturer, and giving an address at Guildford, |
|
|
|
and Isaac Harris Abelson, 54, business adviser,
of Hocroft Road, N.W., were charged on remand |
|
|
|
before Sir Robert Dummett at Bow Street Police
Court yesterday with conspiring to obtain £600 |
|
|
|
by false pretences from Mr. Henry Frederick
George Andreae, of Elm Place, S.W. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr.
H.A.K. Morgan, for the Director of Public Prosecutions, said that Mr.
Andreae, who was 24, |
|
|
|
was anxious to serve his country either in the
Navy, Army, or Air Force, but did not want to go |
|
|
|
through the ranks. He mentioned this to a
friend, a Mr. Usher, who knew Abelson. They rang up |
|
|
|
Abelson and later saw him at his office in
Moorgate, E.C. Sir Curtis was there introduced. After |
|
|
|
explanations,
Sir Curtis said, "I know someone who can help, but it may be
expensive." At a |
|
|
|
subsequent interview at the Charing Cross Hotel
Sir Curtis said to Mr. Andreae, counsel alleged, |
|
|
|
"I can get you a commission in the R[oyal]
A[rmy] S[ervice] C[orps] through an extremely |
|
|
|
important
staff officer at the War Office. He is a viscount. I will take down your
particulars. |
|
|
|
The staff officer wants £300 immediately and
£300 is to be handed to me when you get your |
|
|
|
commission.
Don't get called up; it will be very difficult for me to get you out of the
ranks. I |
|
|
|
have just done it for someone else, and it was
a very difficult job." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr. Andreae said, "This proposition
requires thinking about, and there will be a frightful row if |
|
|
|
it is found out." Abelson replied,
"This has got nothing to do with me." Sir Curtis then said to Mr. |
|
|
|
Andreae, "It is not you or me who would
get into trouble. It is the staff officer who would have |
|
|
|
to take the blame." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Next day Mr. Andreae telephoned to Sir Curtis
that there was no urgency and that he would |
|
|
|
get
in touch with him again in two or three months' time. The matter was
reported, and the |
|
|
|
police and Army authorities took a serious view
of it, because they did not know whether this |
|
|
|
was a false pretence or not. A trap was laid
and further interviews were arranged. Police |
|
|
|
|
officers in an adjoining room were able to
overhear conversations by beans of an amplifier and |
|
|
|
earphones. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr. Andreae, who was used for the purpose of
the trap, first rang up Abelson. Detective- |
|
|
|
Inspector Quinlan was able to listen-in with
another receiver to this conversation. On the |
|
|
|
following day police attended another meeting
with the same listening-in apparatus. They |
|
|
|
overheard
Mr. Andreae tell Sir Curtis he was having trouble about the £1 notes. Sir
Curtis |
|
|
|
agreed to accept an open cheque. This was
handed to him and he said he would see his man |
|
|
|
on the Wednesday and that the commission would
go through at once. Sir Curtis was thereupon |
|
|
|
detained by the police on another matter and
the cheque was found on him. It would not have |
|
|
|
been met, as there were no funds in the bank. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr. Andreae gave evidence bearing out
counsel's opening statement. He said that he had |
|
|
|
previously applied for a commission in the
Navy, without success so far, and had also volunt- |
|
|
|
eered for Finland. Sir Robert Dummett - I
suppose you realized after a time that you were |
|
|
|
dealing with some shifty people? - As soon as I
saw them face to face I did not like the smell |
|
|
|
of the business at all. When you knew they
wanted you to bribe high officers at the War Office |
|
|
|
you must have realized that you were dealing
with some rather dirty people? - I did, Sir. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"The Times" 27 Apr 1940:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sentence of 18 months' imprisonment was passed
by the Common Serjeant (Mr. Cecil Whiteley, |
|
|
|
K.C.) at the Central Criminal Court yesterday
on Sir Curtis George Lampson, Bt.,50, described as |
|
|
|
a lecturer, who, with Isaac Abelson, 54,
business adviser, pleaded "Guilty" to unlawfully inciting |
|
|
|
Mr. Henry Andreae to offer a gift as an
inducement or reward for securing at the War Office a |
|
|
|
commission in his Majesty's Army. Abelson was
sentenced to nine months' imprisonment. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Passing sentence, the Common Serjeant said the
offence of the accused was in these days a |
|
|
|
very serious one, and the maximum penalty was
two years' imprisonment.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Finally, from the London Gazette of 9 August
1940:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Lt.
Sir Curtis George Lampson, Bt., (late R.A.S.C.) is deprived of his rank on

From the "Penny Illustrated Paper and

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A wedding to which particular interest
attached took place at the Roman Catholic Church of |
|
|
|
Our Lady, Grove Road, St. John's Wood, last week. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The bridegroom was Sir James Langrishe, Bart.,
of Knocktopher Abbey, Co. Kilkenny, who is |
|
|
|
in his eighty-third year, and the bride was
Miss Algitha Maud Gooch, only daughter of the late |
|
|
|
Sir Daniel Gooch, who is forty-eight years younger. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'There
were neither bridesmaids nor pages at the wedding. The bride wore a dress of
pale |
|
|
|
violet cloth and velvet, with a large hat of
the same shade trimmed with ostrich plumes. She |
|
|
|
carried a prayer-book instead of a bouquet. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Langrishe baronetcy dates back to 1777,
and is one of the oldest in Ireland. Sir James |
|
|
|
was first married in 1857 [to Adela de Blois
Eccles]. His first wife died in 1901, leaving two |
|
|
|
sons [actually only one] and five daughters,
the eldest of whom is Major Hercules Langrishe, |
|
|

who is forty-seven years of age, and therefore
twelve years older than his step-mother.' |

|

Sir George committed suicide in May 1899. The
following report appeared in 'Lloyd's Weekly |

|
|
Newspaper' on 21 May 1899:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir George Larpent, Bart., colonel of the 88th
Connaught Rangers, and commanding the |
|
|
|
|
Bedfordshire Regimental district, shot himself
at Bedford, on Thursday. The deceased, who |
|
|
|
returned to Bedford from camp at Colchester on
Wednesday, was born in 1846, and succeeded |
|
|
|
to the baronetcy in 1861. He entered the Army
in 1865, and served through the Kaffir and |

Zulu wars. He was married in 1895 to Rose,
daughter of Mr. William Armstrong, of The Priory, |
|
|
|
Toronto, Canada, and widow of Lieut.-Col. T.
Camden Lambert, of Waterdale, county Galway, |
|

but leaves no heir [the baronetcy consequently

'At the inquest on Friday Mr. Halliday,
solicitor, stated that there was some difficulty with |
|
|
|
regard to the deceased's Irish property, on
which there was a mortgage of £2,000, which |
|
|
|
had suddenly been called in and was about to be
foreclosed. Unfortunately Sir George took |
|
|
|
the exaggerated view that this meant ruin to
him. It so worked on his mind that he had for |
|
|
|
the
last fortnight been unable to rest or sleep night after night. Deceased had
duty to take |
|
|
|
up at Colchester, but this he found too much
for him, and returned home. Rising at seven |
|
|
|
o'clock on Thursday morning her kissed his wife
and told her to stay in bed a little longer and |
|
|
|
he would go and unpack his things. The
supposition was that in unpacking he saw the revolver, |
|
|
|
and under a sudden impulse shot himself through
the head. Lady Larpent bore out the above |
|
|
|
statement, and said Sir George had scarcely
eaten or slept for a week, but walked about all |
|
|
|
night. She believed his trouble about the Irish
property was a delusion. The jury returned a |
|
|
|
verdict of "Suicide while temporarily insane."

Sir Herbert Paul Latham, 2nd baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After
unsuccessfully contesting Rotherham in 1929, Latham was first returned to the
House of |
|
|
|
Commons
at a by-election in the seat of Scarborough and Whitby in May 1931. In
October of |
|
|
|
the
same year, he succeeded his father to become 2nd baronet. At some point
before 1941, |
|
|
|
he lost a leg, but I am unable to say what
caused such a loss. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Despite being exempted from military service
due to the loss of his leg, Latham volunteered to |
|
|
|
join the army, and was posted to the 70th
(Sussex) Searchlight Regiment, Royal Artillery. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On
31 July 1941, the Secretary of State for War, David Margesson, made the
following |
|
|
|
|
statement to the House of Commons:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'I have to inform the House that I have
received the command of his Majesty to acquaint the |
|
|
|
House that Major Sir Herbert Paul Latham, a
member of this house, has been placed under |
|
|
|
arrest in order to be tried by Court-martial in
respect of alleged offences against military law.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Latham's Court-martial sat in September 1941,
the first occasion upon which a sitting member |
|
|
|
of the House had been tried by Court-martial
since 1815. He faced 14 charges under the Army |
|
|
|
Act, of disgraceful conduct, including one
charge of attempting to commit suicide. He pleaded |
|
|
|
not guilty to all charges. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The prosecutor stated that the charges alleged
improper conduct with three gunners attached |
|
|
|
to the Searchlight Regiment and one civilian.
It was disclosed that on the morning of 24 June |
|
|
|
1941, Latham had been informed by a fellow
officer that he had seen a letter addressed to |
|
|
|
Latham from a gunner which the officer had
opened in Latham's absence. When he heard this, |
|
|
|
Latham is alleged to have replied, "Well,
there's only one answer - a motorbike." The inference |
|
|
|
is that Latham intended to kill himself. His
fellow officer urged Latham to face up to his |
|
|
|
|
difficulties, but Latham mounted his motorbike
and sped off. He was later found with serious |
|
|
|
head injuries by the side of a steep hill,
having apparently deliberately crashed his motorbike |
|
|
|
into a tree. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Court-martial subsequently found Latham
guilty on 11 of the 14 charges, including the |
|
|
|
charge of attempted suicide. He was sentenced
to be cashiered and to be imprisoned without |
|
|
|
hard labour for two years. During the
Court-martial proceedings, Latham had resigned his seat |
|
|
|
in the Commons. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After his release, Latham worked in a home for
the chronically sick and disabled [presumably |
|
|
|
one of the homes founded by Leonard Cheshire]
until his death in 1955. |

Sir Charles Lawes (later Lawes-Wittewrong), 2nd
baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Prior
to succeeding to the baronetcy, Sir Charles was involved in a famous libel
case in 1882. |
|
|
|
The following edited account of the trial is
taken from the Melbourne 'Argus' of 30 December |
|
|
|
1882:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
action was brought by Mr. Richard Belt, sculptor, against Mr. Charles Lawes,
also a |
|
|
|
|
sculptor, to recover damages for alleged libels
which had appeared in Vanity Fair, and also |
|
|
|
in a letter sent to the Lord Mayor, enclosing
the libels in Vanity Fair. The libels alleged that |
|
|
|
the
plaintiff had palmed off the works of other artists as his own; and the
defence was that |
|
|
|
the libels were true in substance and in fact. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A
number of witnesses were examined on behalf of the plaintiff with the object
of showing |
|
|
|
that he had been seen at work modelling
statuettes and busts. Evidence was given by Mr. |
|
|
|
George Augustus Sala, the well-known journalist
and art critic. [Sala's evidence is reported |
|
|
|
at length - the gist of it is that he watched
Belt modelling a bust of Lord Beaconsfield, and |
|
|
|
was very impressed by its 'almost living'
quality. Further evidence was given on behalf of |
|
|
|
|
the plaintiff by a number of other witnesses,
including Mdme. Petritzka (see under Sir William |
|
|
|
Abdy)
and the Lord Mayor of London.] The evidence of all these witnesses went to
show |
|
|
|
that Mr. Belt executed his statues himself,
several of them stating that they had seen the |
|
|
|
entire process of modelling busts performed by him. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr.
Russell, Q.C., in addressing the jury for the defence, repudiated the
suggestion which |
|
|
|
had been put forward by the counsel for the
plaintiff that the so-called libel was the outcome |
|
|
|
of jealousy and animosity on the part of the
defendant, and maintained that the plaintiff had |
|
|
|
called scarcely a single sculptor known to fame
who had been able to give evidence in support |
|
|
|
of his case. Rightly or wrongly there did exist
in the world of art a widespread impression that |
|
|
|
the works claimed by Mr. Belt as his own were
not his genuine productions, and that he was |
|
|
|
decorating himself in plumes of feathers stolen
from others.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The trial dragged on over a six-month period,
including 43 actual sitting days. During the |
|
|
|
|
trial over 140 witnesses gave evidence. Belt's
witnesses were largely society figures who had |
|
|
|
either
posed for Belt or had seen him working, while Lawes' witnesses were
predominantly |
|
|
|
sculptors
from the Royal Academy, with the result that the art 'establishment' was
pitted |
|
|
|
against
its patrons. Eventually the jury found in Belt's favour and awarded him
damages of |
|
|
|
£5,000,
plus costs. Lawes appealed against
this judgment and his appeal was heard in March |
|
|
|
1884, but he again lost and the costs of the
appeal were awarded against him. Lawes promptly |
|
|
|
filed for bankruptcy, with the result that Belt
never received the damages awarded to him. In |
|
|
|
any event, Belt was sentenced to 12 months'
hard labour in March 1886 for obtaining money |
|
|
|
by false pretences from Sir William Abdy, 2nd
baronet (qv). |

Sir Nicholas Lawless, 1st baronet [I 1776] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following history of the origins of the
Lawless family, who were later Barons Cloncurry, |
|
|
|
appeared in the Sydney "Catholic
Press" on 28 November 1929:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
death last July of the fifth Baron Cloncurry, at "Maratimo,"
Blackrock, County Dublin, recalls |
|
|
|
a page unique in the rise to honourable
distinction of families of humble origin. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
history of the boy, Robert Lawless, and of his son and heir, is perhaps one
of the most |
|
|
|
romantic
and extraordinary that can well be imagined outside the realms of fiction. It
goes back |
|
|
|
to
the year 1720, when a little boy from the mountains, accompanied by a small
ass-load of |
|
|
|
turf and firs, came daily into the Liberties of
Dublin [an area in central Dublin], where his patrons |
|
|
|
mostly were found. His best customer, however,
was a respectable and well-to-do woollen |
|
|
|
draper in High-street, who not only bought his
turf, but an occassional hare or two caught on |
|
|
|
the hills. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'All
accounts agree in stating that Lawless was a most intelligent and comely
youth, of strict |
|
|
|
honesty and rectitude, and, what was looked
upon then as somewhat rare for a humble lad, he |
|
|
|
could
rear and write and "do" fiigures. He was entirely on his own
resources. Locally he was |
|
|
|
called "Robin Lawless," the orphan
son of "Peter of the Hills." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
excellent woollen draper had a knowledge of his good points, and, after a
time, proposed to |
|
|
|
him to enter his service as shop-boy, sleep at
night under the counter, open the shop in the |
|
|
|
morning, and run errands during the day. The
boy eagerly jumped at the kind offer, disposed of |
|
|
|
the donkey and cart, and entered gleefully into
his new life. His intelligence, activity, and good |
|
|
|
business habits stood his friend, and in a few
years he rose to be foreman, and afterwards partner |
|
|
|
in the business. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'On
the death of his pricipal in 1731 he married the widow who was many years the
junior of her |
|
|
|
first husband. This lady was the daughter of
Dominick Hadsor, one of whose ancestors had been |
|
|
|
Lord Mayor of Dublin [John Hadsor in 1432-33].
For may years that family had carried on business |
|
|
|
in High-street as lace-sellers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'It
was in October, 1733, that a son was born to Robert Lawless and his wife,
Mary. He was |
|
|
|
christened Nicholas, and subsequently became
the first Lord Cloncurry. A year later a daughter was |
|
|
|
born, and she was baptized Mary Elizabeth. She
became in due course the mother of Margaret, |
|
|
|
first Countess of Clonmell. Nicholas was placed
under the care of a distinguished divine at the |
|
|
|
Catholic College of Rouen in Normandy. Sending
the boy thus abroad became necessary, for at |
|
|
|
that time the ruthless penal laws were at the
zenith of their strength, and the fact of a Catholic |
|
|
|
undergoing instruction in Ireland was quite
sufficient to bring down on the head of his instructor |
|
|
|
merciless persecution. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
business in High-street became a big money-making concern. Nicholas married a
wealthy |
|
|
|
heiress, the daughter of Valentine Browne, the
brewer of Mount Browne, and it was in 1773 that |
|
|
|
Valentine Browne Lawless was born, and he
subsequently became the second Lord Cloncurry. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Meanwhile,
however, Robert, whose private residence was in Merrion-square, and long
after he |
|
|
|
had been created a Baronet by Lord Harcourt,
attended regularly the fairs at Wicklow, Wexford |
|
|
|
and Kildare, and the wools and blankets which
his firm produced in High-street attained a world- |
|
|
|
wide fame for sterling quality. In the Journals
of the Irish House of Lords, under the date of |
|
|
|
January 20, 1790, there is an elaborate account
of the newly-created Lord Cloncurry being |
|
|
|
introduced, taking the oaths, and subscribing
to "the Oath of Abjuration." [which asserted the |
|
|
|
right of the present royal family to the Crown
of England, and expressly rejected the claims of |
|
|
|
the Stuart dynasty]. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'It
is recorded that his lordship, having attended a pantomime of "Don
Quixote" at Crow-street |
|
|
|
Theatre, and having been observed to laugh
immoderately at the scene when "Sancho" is tossed |
|
|
|
in a blanket, a local wit crystallised the
incident in verse, and thus it appeared in the press: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cloncurry, Cloncurry |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Why in
such a hurry |
|
|
|
|
|
|
To laugh at
the Comical Squire |
|
|
|
|
|
|
For though
he's tossed high |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yet
you cannot deny |
|
|
|
|
|
|
That blankets have tossed you still higher |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
life of Valentine Lawless, who next succeeded to the Barony of Cloncurry, was
one of |
|
|
|
extraordinary vicissitudes, and has been
panegyrised by W.J. Fitzpatrick and other writers, |
|
|
|
as that of an Irish peer and an Irish patriot
whose life was sacred to the ambition and devotion |
|
|
|
of his youth - a noble and eventful career. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Meanwhile,
the valuable estates of Abingdon, County Limerick, and Rathcormack, County
Cork, |
|
|
|
had been purchased and the latter re-sold. But
the favourite residences of the family were Lyons |
|
|
|
Castle, Celbridge [in County Kildare, 14 miles
west of Dublin], and the beautiful villa of "Maratimo" |
|
|
|
where on 18 July passed away Frederick, the
fifth Baron Cloncurry, and with him the title became |

|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir Alexander died in an accident in India in
August 1864, aged 26. The baronetcy had been |
|
|
|
granted to him in recognition of the work of
his father, Sir Henry Montgomery Lawrence, who |
|
|
|
had been a British soldier and administrator in
India before he died from injuries received at |
|
|
|
the siege of Lucknow in 1857, during the Indian
Mutiny. |
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Delhi Gazette, in recording the death of Sir Alexander Lawrence, which
event was |
|
|
|
|
announced by telegram a few days since, says: -
"The young gentleman was, it appears, |
|
|
|
|
travelling up north by the Hindoostan and
Thibet Trunk road, with his uncle Colonel Lawrence, |
|
|
|
the Deputy-Commissioner of Simla. They made ten
or twelve marches in safety and reached |
|
|
|
Torahon, the summer residence of the Rajah
Bussahir, on Friday, the 26th August. On Saturday |
|
|
|
morning they started on horseback for the next
bungalow at Tarunda. About four miles on the |
|
|
|
road they had to cross a bridge which girdled
an almost perpendicular cliff; on nearing this |
|
|
|
spot, Sir Alexander's horse became somewhat
restive, he passed his uncle to the front, and on |
|
|
|
riding over the bridge rather hurriedly a large
cross-beam gave way, when both rider and horse |
|
|
|
were precipitated violently down about 300 feet
of khud [i.e. ravine], and of course killed on |
|
|
|
the spot. This shocking and terrible accident
happened about 120 miles from Simla. The corpse |
|
|
|
was brought into the station on Monday morning,
and buried on the evening of the same day." |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir Lawrence was murdered by brigands as he
travelled in western Turkey in November 1845. |
|
|
|
The following report is taken from 'The
Observer' of 12 January 1846:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A correspondent of the morning papers, writing
from Constantinople, says: - "I send you the |
|
|
|
following
deposition of Captain Twopenny relative to the attack made upon him and
Sir |
|
|
|
|
Lawrence Jones, and the assassination of Sir
Lawrence, by the Zeybecks, who are |
|
|
|
|
mountaineers, constantly on the watch to
plunder travellers, near Macri........It is as follows:- |
|
|
|
On the 7th November, towards noon, we were near
Dallamany, at about eight leagues distant |
|
|
|
from Macri; we were crossing a little valley,
planted with a low shrubbery, from whence the |
|
|
|
sea might be seen. Our little caravan consisted
of Sir L. Jones and myself, a dragoman [guide |
|
|
|
and interpreter], a sulyee (a groom), an imaum
of Zanthus, and two Greeks of Macri. Suddenly |
|
|
|
the imaum stopped, loaded his carbine, and it
seemed the he had perceived two Zeybecks, who |
|
|
|
were hiding in the bushes. We continued to move
on with caution, till we had arrived at a |
|
|
|
fountain, shaded by some oak trees. Sir
Lawrence then said, "I think it is better to halt and |
|
|
|
breakfast.
If these fellows intend to attack us, we can't escape them, and it is better
to fight |
|
|
|
with a full stomach than with an empty
one." I made no objection. Our breakfast occupied us |
|
|
|
at
least for half an hour, after which we continued our journey; but ten minutes
had not |
|
|
|
|
elapsed when muskets were fired from behind a
rock at four or five paces from us. On the very |
|
|
|
moment that the discharge was heard, Sir
Lawrence Jones and the dragoman fell heavily from |
|
|
|
their horses, without uttering a single word,
at the same time I felt myself severely wounded by |
|
|
|
several
shots. My horse took fright, the horse of Sir Lawrence was at full gallop;
but I |
|
|
|
|
succeeded in seizing his rein, and got the
pistols from the holster. At this moment I saw behind |
|
|
|
the rock the heads of five or six men, and five
or six muskets pointed at me. I saw at once that |
|
|
|
resistance would be madness. I threw my pistols
on the ground, and being enfeebled by the |
|
|
|
loss of blood, I fell myself. All this passed
in a few seconds. The Zeybecks immediately sprung |
|
|
|
towards me, picking eagerly up my pistols, and
crying out "paras, paras!" (money, money). I |
|
|
|
gave them my watch, and the little money I had
on me; but they cried out still, "paras, paras!" |
|
|
|
I pointed to our baggage, on which they flung
themselves, forcing the imaum to assist them |
|
|
|
in
their ransackings. Their rummage lasted an hour, after which they sent the
imaum to the |
|
|
|
top of a hill, to see, I suppose, if the coast
was clear. They then filed out in military order, |
|
|
|
followed by a fine, stately statured man, who
seemed to me to be the captain of the band. |
|
|
|
As he passed by me, the captain cried out,
"paras, paras." I pointed again to our baggage, |
|
|
|
when one of the band pointed his gun at me. I
thought my last moment had come, but the |
|
|
|
captain shoved away the gun-barrel from before
me just as it was discharged, and we |
|
|
|
|
continued our route. I then passed by poor
Jones, who had ceased to exist. At the same time, |
|
|
|
the imaum and two Greeks were collecting the
fragments of our baggage, and putting it on their |
|
|
|
horses. I made them signs to place on one of
the horses the body of my friend, but they |
|
|
|
|
refused, and made me understand, by their
gestures, that it would be dangerous to insist on |
|
|
|
my demand. I took then a ring from the hand of
the deceased, and cut off a lock of his hair, |
|
|
|
to take to his relations. In his watch pocket I
found a few pieces of gold, which had escaped |
|
|
|
the robbers. The imaum then set me on a horse,
requiring me to keep an exact silence, and we |
|
|
|
directed our course towards Macri, where we
arrived about midnight, after eight hours on |
|
|
|
horseback, and suffering severely from my
wounds. At Macri I was received by Mr. C. Belville, |
|
|
|
of Rhodes, with all the affectionate kindness
of a relative, and Mr. Franl dressed my wounds, |
|
|
|
which then ceased bleeding. By the obliging
care of Mr. Belville, a boat was immediately sent to |
|
|
|
transport the bodies to Macri, where they have
been interred with all the decency that is |
|
|
|
possible within the precincts of a Greek church." |

The following advertisement appeared in 'The
Times' in January 1877:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Know all whom this may concern, that I, Henry
Lawson, hitherto known as Henry Lawson, of |
|
|
|
Gatherley Castle, in the County of York,
Esquire, haven taken and assumed the name of De |
|
|
|
Burgh, in addition to my former surname of
Lawson, and that I shall henceforth be known and |
|

|
|
|

said Sir John Lawson, so created a baronet as |
|
|
|
aforesaid,
had issue by Catherine Howard, his lawful wife, three sons, namely John
Lawson, |
|
|
|
the
eldest son, Henry Lawson, the second son, and William Lawson, the third son.
That the |
|
|
|
said John Lawson, eldest son of the said Sir
John Lawson, died in the lifetime of his said |
|
|
|
|
father, without heirs lawfully begotten of his
body; that the said Henry Lawson, second son |
|
|
|
aforesaid, succeeded his father in the said
baronetcy aforesaid. And whereas upon the death |
|
|
|
of the late Sir Henry Lawson, of Burgh Hall,
aforesaid, baronet, who died without heirs lawfully |
|
|
|
begotten of his body, all the heirs male
lawfully begotten of the body of the said Henry Lawson, |
|
|
|
second son of the said Sir John Lawson, who was
created a baronet as aforesaid, became |
|
|
|
entirely extinct and ended. And whereas I, the
said Henry De Burgh-Lawson, being the son and |
|
|
|
heir of Henry Lawson, son and heir of George
Lawson, son and heir of William Lawson, son and |
|
|
|
heir of William Lawson, third son of the said
Sir John Lawson aforesaid, and am accordingly by |
|
|
|
right of blood and inheritance lawfully
entitled to the said baronetcy under the special limit- |
|
|
|
ations of the said original letters patent
aforesaid, whereby the said baronetcy was so created |
|
|
|
as
aforesaid, as is fully set forth in my pedigree, enrolled in Her Majesty's
High Court of |
|
|
|
|
Chancery, on the eleventh day of January, in
the present year of Our Lord one thousand eight |
|
|
|
hundred and seventy-seven. And whereas, in
right of my said lineage aforesaid, as the heir |
|
|
|
male of the said Sir John Lawson, the first
baronet as aforesaid lawfully begotten of his body, |
|
|
|
and by virtue of the said limitations contained
and set forth in the said original letters patent, |
|
|
|
by which the said title was created as
aforesaid, I, the said Henry De Burgh-Lawson have |
|
|
|
assumed and do hereby assume as my lawful right
to myself and the heirs male lawfully |
|
|
|
|
begotten of my body, the said baronetcy, and I
hereby make known that I shall hereafter from |
|
|
|
the date of these presents by the name, rank,
style, and title of Sir Henry De Burgh-Lawson, |
|
|
|
of Gatherley Castle, in the county of York,
baronet - Given at my Castle of Gatherley aforesaid, |
|
|
|
on
the sixteenth day of January, in the year of Our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and |
|
|
|
seventy-seven. |

Henry De
Burgh-Lawson |
|
|

|
|
|
Witness - John Bolton, gentleman, Waterford
Lodge, Scarborough, county of York.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
claimant died 1 October 1892, when he was "succeeded" by his son
"Sir" Henry Alfred |
|
|
|
Stoddart De Burgh-Lawson. In Dod's Peerage for
1899, he is shown as being the 9th baronet, |
|
|
|
but with a note which states that the baronetcy
"was believed to have become extinct in 1834, |
|
|
|
but was assumed in 1877, together with the name
of De Burgh, by the father of the present |
|
|
|
baronet, who claimed descent from the 3rd son
of the 1st baronet. The descent, however, has |
|
|
|
not been proved." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The entry in Dod's Peerage for this baronetcy
subsequently disappears, no doubt a casualty of |
|
|
|
the introduction of the Official Roll of the
Baronetage in 1914. |

Sir Thomas Selby Tancred, 8th baronet [listed
under 'Lawson-Tancred'] |

|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
The 'Manchester Guardian' 14 April 1910:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'At Westminster yesterday Mr. Wallington held
an inquiry into the circumstances attending the |
|
|
|
tragic death of Sir Thomas Selby Tancred, who
was found unconscious on a seat in Hyde Park |
|
|
|
on Monday night. Sir Thomas Tancred was the
eighth baronet. He was a contractor for the |
|
|
|
Forth Bridge, and he constructed the Delagoa
Bay Railway [in present-day Mozambique]. He |
|
|
|
lived at Westbourne Gardens. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr.
F.W. Tancred, stockbroker, said his father was 70 years of age. A year ago he
had |
|
|
|
|
influenza, and on the Tuesday following
Christmas-day he had a bad seizure wile on a visit to |
|
|
|
relations. During the past six months he had
suffered badly from mental depression. The witness |
|
|
|
saw him at dinner on Monday, when he seemed to
be in pain. He said he had an appointment at |
|
|
|
the Russell Hotel, and left home alone at nine
o'clock. The witness did not see him again alive. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Coroner handed the witness a pencilled
note, which he identified as being in his father's |
|
|
|
handwriting. It ran: - "29, Westbourne
Gardens, 11, 4, 10. Please do not disturb my people or |
|
|
|
let them know anything until to-morrow."
Continuing, the witness said he knew nothing of the |
|
|
|
circumstances of his father's death. He had
never threatened suicide to the witness's |
|
|
|
|
knowledge. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Evidence of the finding of Sir Thomas Tancred
on a seat in Rotten Row was given by a private |
|
|
|
in the Grenadier Guards. A policeman who came
to help said the ambulance was sent for and |
|
|
|
arrived in five or six minutes. At St.George's
Hospital Sir Thomas was seen by Dr. Cooper, but |
|
|
|
death took place in the course of a few
minutes. It was stated that a package containing Sir |
|
|
|
Thomas's will was found. It was addressed to
his country solicitor, and was to be opened after |
|
|
|
his death. This was written two years ago, and
had no bearing on the present matter. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Dr. Roebuck, of St.George's Hospital, said Sir
Thomas appeared to be suffering from effects of |
|
|
|
poisoning
by prussic acid. The witness, however, could not smell any acid. A
post-mortem |
|
|
|
examination revealed the presence of a strong
smell of prussic acid, which was the cause of |
|
|
|
death. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The jury returned the following verdict: -
"Deceased met his death through taking prussic |
|
|
|
acid by means unknown." |

Sir Edmund Arthur Lechmere, 4th baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following charming little story appeared in
the "Tuapeka Times" on 23 February 1895. |
|
|
|
|
Tuapeka is in the Otago region of the South
Island of New Zealand. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Christchurch "Press" London
correspondent writing on December 29th [1894] says: |
|
|
|
|
Here is quite a little romance of which a New
Zealand girl is a heroine. A few years ago the |
|
|
|
eldest son of an English Baronet and M.P. was
on a tour through New Zealand. While |
|
|
|
|
pulling on the Avon in Christchurch he caught
sight of a very pretty girl walking on the bank |
|
|
|
with some children. He fell in love with her,
his affection was returned, and he married her. |
|
|
|
The young man's father and mother were much
distressed at this sudden marriage of their |
|
|
|
son and heir with an unknown young lady of whom
they had no means of learning anything, |
|
|
|
and made anxious enquiries of Christchurch
people then in England as to what a female |
|
|
|
|
New Zealander was like. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'They received entirely reassuring replies, and
shortly after the young couple came home |
|
|
|
|
the parents called on their principal informant
and spoke with deep feeling of their delight |
|
|
|
|
in the young bride, and their entire
satisfaction in their son's choice. A few days ago the |
|
|
|
|
father, Sir Edmund Lechmere (who was M.P. for
the Evesham division of Worcestershire, |
|
|
|
|
and in his 69th year), died very suddenly when
about to address his constituents. So his |
|
|
|
|
son becomes Sir Edwin [sic] Lechmere, and his
wife, formerly Miss [Alice] Samuels, of |
|
|
|
|
Christchurch, New Zealand, becomes Lady
Lechmere.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The marriage took place in 1885. Lady Lechmere,
however, did not enjoy her title for very |
|
|
|
long, since she died of rheumatic fever on 4
February 1896. |
