Sir Richard Arthur Surtees Paget, 2nd baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
of Cranmore, Somerset [created 1886] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir Richard was a well-known amateur scientist,
who married Lady Muriel Finch-Hatton, only |
|
|
|
daughter of the 12th Earl of Winchilsea and
Nottingham. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
He was often embarrassed by the exploits of his
wife, who devoted herself to rescuing English |
|
|
|
governesses stranded in Russia. Once he was
asked whether they were related. "Only by |
|
|
|
marriage," he replied. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir Richard's daughter, Pamela, was often
required to play a part in her father's scientific |
|
|
|
|
experiments. On one occasion, she had to throw
herself off the top of a bus travelling at 30 |
|
|
|
mph down Park Lane. Her father's theory was
that the force of air behind her would guarantee |
|
|
|
that she landed on her feet, in which he was
proved to be correct. In another experiment, he |
|
|
|
filled her ears with treacle when testing the
efficiency of a sign language that he had recently |
|
|
|
invented. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In 1935, Pamela married Christopher Grey
Tennant, 2nd Baron Glenconner, at a lavish |
|
|
|
|
ceremony at Wells Cathedral, created by
Glenconner's younger brother Stephen Tennant, who |
|
|
|
attended the marriage service with a tortoise
in his pocket (as one does). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pamela carried on her mother's work and in 1961
she was elected to the Russia Company, |
|
|
|
which provided financial aid to many of those
repatriated from Russia in the 1930s. She also |
|
|
|
inherited her mother's interest in the Invalid
Kitchens of London (later Meals on Wheels). |

baronet |

|
|

From ''The Scotsman' of 18 May 1925:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'At the inquest held on Saturday at Withcote
Hall, Oakham, on the body of Sir Edward |
|
|
|
|
Geoffrey Broadley Palmer, Bart., who was found
on Friday morning dead in his study, with a |
|
|
|
double-barrelled sporting gun lying across him,
the principal witness was Captain G.F.N. Palmer, |
|
|
|
deceased's son, who succeeds to the baronetcy.
He said his father returned last Monday |
|
|
|
|
from a nursing home. He had been ill some time,
but on his return his health had apparently |
|
|
|
greatly improved. Almost eight months ago he
heard his father threatened to take his life. |
|
|
|
Witness was in Oakham when the tragedy
occurred. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The medical evidence was that the roof of
deceased's mouth was blown completely away, |
|
|
|
and there was a compound fracture of the upper
jaw. Death must have been instantaneous. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A verdict of "Suicide while temporarily
insane" was returned.' |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
From the Darwin, Australia "Northern
Territory Times and Gazette" of 9 April 1914":- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The present is certainly the age of the
"collector," and there is hardly any article, ranging from |
|
|
|
old furniture to the proverbial button, which
has not nowadays its devotees, whose general |
|
|
|
ambition appears to be to possess something
different to their fellow enthusiasts. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In spite of the wide field, however, covered
by these collectors, it would, perhaps, be difficult |
|
|
|
to find one with such a curious bent as that
displayed by Sir Thomas Parkyns, of Bunny Park, |
|
|
|
Notts, who died March 29, 1741. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A noted wrestler in his day, this baronet
conceived the strange idea of forming a collection of |
|
|
|
stone coffins, many examples of which he kept
in Bunny Churchyard, his object being that |
|
|
|
those around him should read a moral in these
sepulchral emblems. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'To carry this impression of humility still
further, Sir Thomas caused his own monument to be |
|
|
|
erected opposite his pew in the parish church,
in order that he might look upon it when |
|
|
|
|
worshipping there. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The memorial itself was carved by the
baronet's own domestic chaplain, and depicts Sir |
|
|
|
|
Thomas standing in his wrestling dress,
postured, ready for a bout in this pastime, whilst |
|
|
|
|
underneath is the following inscription:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"At
length by conquered Time subdued, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lo! Here
Britannia's wrester lies; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Till now he
still unshaken stood |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Where he
strove to win the prize." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Upon his death, this eccentric squire
bequeathed his collection of stone coffins to such |
|
|
|
|
parishioners of Bunny as might choose to be
interred therein, so that probably all trace of them |
|
|
|
has long since vanished.' |

William Parsons (1717-11 Feb 1751), son and
heir of Sir William Parsons, |
|
|
|
|
3rd baronet [E 1661] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
William Parsons was hanged in February 1751, as
recounted in the following lengthy entry in |
|
|
|
"The Newgate Calendar." Although
described as the eldest son, William Parsons was a younger |
|
|
|
son, since he had an older brother, John, who
was a country vicar. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Eldest son of a Baronet, who became a Swindler
and Highway Robber, and was executed for |
|
|
|
returning from Transportation, 11th of
February, 1751. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The unhappy subject of this narrative was born
in London, in the year 1717, the eldest son |
|
|
|
and heir to Sir William Parsons, Bart., of the
county of Nottingham. He was placed under the |
|
|
|
care of a pious and learned divine at
Pepper-harrow, in Surrey, where he received the first |
|
|
|
rudiments of education. In a little more than
three years, he was removed to Eton college, |
|
|
|
where it was intended that he should qualify
himself for one of the universities. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'While he was a scholar at Eton, he was
detected in stealing a volume of Pope's Homer in the |
|
|
|
shop of a bookseller named Pate. Being charged
with the fact, he confessed that he had stolen |
|
|
|
many other books at different times. The case
being represented to the master, Parsons under- |
|
|
|
went very severe discipline. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Though he remained at Eton nine years, his
progress in learning was very inconsiderable. The |
|
|
|
youth was of so unpromising a disposition, that
Sir William determined to send him to sea, as |
|
|
|
the most probable means to prevent his
destruction, and soon procured him the appointment of |
|
|
|
midshipman on board a man-of-war then lying at
Spithead, under sailing orders for Jamaica, |
|
|
|
there to be stationed for three years. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Some accident detained the ship beyond the
time when it was expected she would sail. |
|
|
|
|
Parsons applied for leave of absence and went
on shore; but having no intention to return, he |
|
|
|
immediately directed his course towards a small
town about ten miles from Portsmouth, called |
|
|
|
Bishop's Waltham, where he soon ingratiated
himself into the favour of the principal inhabitants. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'His figure being pleasing, and his manner of
address easy and polite, he found but little |
|
|
|
|
difficulty in recommending himself to the ladies. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He became greatly enamoured of a beautiful and
accomplished young lady, the daughter of a |
|
|
|
physician of considerable practice, and
prevailed upon her to promise she would yield her hand |
|
|
|
in marriage. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'News of the intended marriage coming to the
knowledge of his father Sir William, and his uncle, |
|
|
|
the latter hastened to Waltham to prevent a
union which he apprehended would inevitably |
|
|
|
produce the ruin of the contracting parties. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'With much difficulty the uncle prevailed upon
Parsons to return to the ship, which in a few |
|
|
|
days afterwards proceeded on her voyage. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The ship had not been long arrived at the
place of destination, when Parsons resolved to |
|
|
|
desert, and return to England, and soon found
an opportunity of shipping himself on board the |
|
|
|
Sheerness man of war, then preparing to sail on
her return home. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Immediately after his arrival in England, he
set out for Waltham, in order to visit the object of |
|
|
|
his desires; but his uncle being apprised of
his motions, repaired to the same place, and repres- |
|
|
|
ented his character in so unfavourable, but at
the same time in so just a manner, that he |
|
|
|
prevented the renewal of his addresses to the
physician's daughter. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He went home with his uncle, who observed his
conduct with a most scrupulous attention, and |
|
|
|
confined him, as much as possible, within
doors. This generous relation at length exerted his |
|
|
|
interest to get the youth appointed midshipman
on board His Majesty's Ship the Romney, which |
|
|
|
was under orders for the Newfoundland station. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Upon his return from Newfoundland, Parsons
learnt, with infinite mortification, that the duchess |
|
|
|
of Northumberland, to whom he was related, had
revoked a will made in his favour, and |
|
|
|
|
bequeathed to his sister a very considerable
legacy, which he had expected to enjoy. He was |
|
|
|
repulsed by his friends and acquaintances, who
would not in the least countenance his visits at |
|
|
|
their houses; and his circumstances now became
exceedingly distressed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Thus situated, he applied to a gentleman named
Bailey, with whom he had formerly lived on |
|
|
|
terms of intimacy; and his humanity induced him
to invite Parsons to reside in his house, and to |
|
|
|
furnish him with the means of supporting the
character of a gentleman. Mr Bailey also was |
|
|
|
indefatigable in his endeavours to effect a
reconciliation between young Parsons and his father, |
|
|
|
in which he at length succeeded. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir William having prevailed upon his son to
go abroad again, and procured him an appointment |
|
|
|
under the governor of James Fort, on the river
Gambia, he embarked on board a vessel in the |
|
|
|
service of the Royal African company. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Parsons had resided at James Fort about six
months, when a disagreement took place between |
|
|
|
him and governor Aufleur; in consequence of
which the former signified a resolution of returning |
|
|
|
to England. Hereupon the governor informed him
that he was commissioned to engage him as an |
|
|
|
indented servant for five years. Parsons warmly
expostulated with the governor, declaring that |
|
|
|
his behaviour was neither that of a man of
probity or a gentleman, and requested permission to |
|
|
|
return. But so far from complying, the governor
issued orders to the sentinels to be particularly |
|
|
|
careful lest he should effect an escape. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Notwithstanding every precaution, Parsons
found means to get on board a homeward-bound |
|
|
|
vessel, and being followed by Mr Aufleur, he
was commanded to return, but cocking a pistol, |
|
|
|
and presenting it to the governor, he declared
he would fire upon any man who should presume |
|
|
|
to molest him. Here upon the governor departed,
and in a short time the ship sailed for England. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Soon after his arrival in his native country,
he received an invitation to visit an uncle who lived |
|
|
|
at Epsom, which he gladly accepted, and
experienced a most cordial and friendly reception. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He resided with his uncle about three months,
and was treated will all imaginable kindness and |
|
|
|
respect. At length one of the female servants
in the family swore herself to be pregnant by him, |
|
|
|
which so incensed the old gentleman, that he
dismissed Parsons from his house. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Reduced to the most deplorable state of
poverty, he directed his course towards the metro- |
|
|
|
polis; and three half-pence being his whole
stock of money, he subsisted four days upon the |
|
|
|
bread purchased with that small sum, quenching
his thirst at the pumps he casually met with |
|
|
|
in the streets. He lay four nights in a
hay-loft in Chancery-lane, belonging to the master of |
|
|
|
the rolls, by permission of the coachman, who
pitied his truly deplorable case. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'At length he determined to apply for redress
to an ancient gentlewoman with whom he had |
|
|
|
been acquainted in his more youthful days, when
she was in the capacity of companion to the |
|
|
|
duchess of Northumberland. Weak and emaciated
through want of food, his appearance was |
|
|
|
rendered still more miserable by the
uncleanliness and disorder of his apparel; and when he |
|
|
|
appeared before the old lady, she tenderly
compassionated his unfortunate situation, and |
|
|
|
recommended him to a decent family in Cambridge
Street, with whom he resided some time in |
|
|
|
a very comfortable manner, the old gentlewoman
defraying the charge of his lodging and board; |
|
|
|
and a humane gentleman, to whom she had
communicated his case, supplying him with money |
|
|
|
for common expenses. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir William came to town at the beginning of
the winter, and received an unexpected visit from |
|
|
|
his son, who dropped upon his knees, and
supplicated forgiveness with the utmost humility and |
|
|
|
respect. His mother-in-law was greatly enraged
at his appearance, and upbraided her husband |
|
|
|
with being foolishly indulgent to so graceless
a youth, at the same time declaring, that she |
|
|
|
would not live in the house where he was
permitted to enter. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir William asked him what mode of life he
meant to adopt? and his answer was, that he was |
|
|
|
unable to determine; but would cheerfully
pursue such measures as so indulgent a parent |
|
|
|
should think proper to recommend. The old
gentleman then advised him to enter as a private |
|
|
|
man in the horse-guards; which he approved of,
saying, he would immediately offer himself as a |
|
|
|
volunteer. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Upon mentioning his intention to the adjutant,
he was informed that he must pay seventy |
|
|
|
guineas for his admission into the corps. This
news proved exceedingly afflicting, as he had but |
|
|
|
little hope that his father would advance the
necessary sum. Upon returning to his father's |
|
|
|
lodgings, he learnt that he had set out for the
country, and left him a present of only five |
|
|
|
shillings. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Driven now nearly to a state of distraction,
he formed the desperate resolution of putting an |
|
|
|
end to his life, and repaired to St. James's
Park, intending to throw himself into Rosamond's |
|
|
|
pond. While he stood on the brink of the water,
waiting for an opportunity of carrying his |
|
|
|
|
impious design into effect, it occurred to him,
that a letter he had received, mentioning the |
|
|
|
death of an aunt, and that she had bequeathed a
legacy to his brother, might be made use of |
|
|
|
to his own advantage; and he immediately
declined the thoughts of destroying himself. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He produced the letter to several persons,
assuring them that the writer had been misinformed |
|
|
|
respecting the legacy, which in reality was
left to himself; and under the pretext of being |
|
|
|
entitled to it, he obtained money and effects
from different people to a considerable amount. |
|
|
|
Among those who were deceived by this stratagem
was a tailor in Devereux court in the Strand, |
|
|
|
who gave him credit for several genteel suits
of clothes. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The money and other articles thus fraudulently
obtained, enabled him to engage in scenes of |
|
|
|
gaiety and dissipation; and he seemed to
entertain no idea that his happiness would be but of |
|
|
|
short duration. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Accidentally meeting the brother of the young
lady to whom he had made professions of love |
|
|
|
at Waltham, he intended to renew his
acquaintance with him, and his addresses to his sister; |
|
|
|
but the young gentleman informed Parsons that
his sister died suddenly a short time after his |
|
|
|
departure from Waltham. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Parsons endeavoured, as much as possible, to
cultivate the friendship of the above young |
|
|
|
gentleman, and represented his case in so
plausible a manner, as to obtain money from him, at |
|
|
|
different times, to a considerable amount. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Parsons' creditors now became exceedingly
importunate, and he thought there was no |
|
|
|
|
probability of relieving himself from his
difficulties, but by connecting himself in marriage with a |
|
|
|
woman of fortune. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Being eminently qualified in those
accomplishments which are known to have a great influence |
|
|
|
over the female world, Parsons soon ingratiated
himself into the esteem of a young lady [Mary |
|
|
|
Frampton] possessed of a handsome independency
bequeathed her by lately deceased father. |
|
|
|
He informed his creditors that he had a
prospect of an advantageous marriage; and as they |
|
|
|
were satisfied that the lady had a good
fortune, they supplied him with every thing necessary |
|
|
|
for prosecuting the amour, being persuaded
that, if the expected union took place, they should |
|
|
|
have no difficulty in recovering their
respective demands. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The marriage was solemnized on the 10th of
February, 1740, in the 23rd year of his age. On |
|
|
|
this event, the uncle, who lived at Epsom,
visited him in London, and gave him the strongest |
|
|
|
assurances that he would exert every possible
endeavour to promote his interest and happi- |
|
|
|
ness, on condition that he would avoid such
proceedings as would render him unworthy of |
|
|
|
friendship and protection. His relations in
general were perfectly satisfied with the connexion he |
|
|
|
had made, and hoped that his irregular and
volatile disposition would be corrected by the |
|
|
|
|
prudent conduct of his bride, who was justly
esteemed a young lady of great sweetness of |
|
|
|
temper, virtue and discretion. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A few weeks after his marriage, the uncle
interceded in his behalf with the right honourable |
|
|
|
Arthur Onslow [Speaker of the House of
Commons]; and through the interest of that gentleman |
|
|
|
he was appointed an ensign in the thirty-fourth
regiment of foot. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He now discharged all his debts, which proved
highly satisfactory to all his relations; and this |
|
|
|
conduct was the means of his obtaining further
credit in times of future distress. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He hired a very handsome house in Poland
Street, where he resided two years, in which time |
|
|
|
he had two children, one of whom died very
young. From Poland Street, he removed to Panton- |
|
|
|
square, and the utmost harmony substituted
between him and his wife, who were much |
|
|
|
|
respected by their relations and acquaintances. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'But it must be observed, that though his
conduct in other respects had been irreproachable |
|
|
|
from the time of his marriage, he was guilty of
unpardonable indiscretion as to his manner of |
|
|
|
living; for he kept three saddle-horses, a
chaise and pair, several unnecessary servants, and |
|
|
|
engaged in many other superfluous expenses that
his income could not afford. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Unfortunately Parsons became acquainted with
an infamous gambler, who seduced him to |
|
|
|
frequent gaming-houses, and to engage in play.
He lost considerable sums, which were shared |
|
|
|
between the pretended friend of Parsons, and
his wicked accomplices. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Parsons was now promoted to a lieutenancy in a
regiment that was ordered into Flanders, and |
|
|
|
was accompanied to that country by the
abandoned gamester, whom he considered as his most |
|
|
|
valuable friend. The money he lost in gaming,
and the extravagant manner in which he lived, in |
|
|
|
a short time involved him in such difficulties
that he was under the necessity of selling his |
|
|
|
commission, in order to discharge his debts
contracted in Flanders. The commission being sold, |
|
|
|
Parsons and his treacherous companion returned
to England. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'His arrival was no sooner known, than his
creditors were extremely urgent for the immediate |
|
|
|
discharge of their respective claims; which
induced him to take a private lodging in Gough- |
|
|
|
square, where he passed under the domination of
Captain Brown. He pretended to be an |
|
|
|
|
unmarried man; and saw his wife only when
appointments were made to meet at a public- |
|
|
|
house. While he lodged in Gough-square, he
seduced his landlord's daughter, who became |
|
|
|
pregnant by him; and her imprudence in yielding
to the persuasions of Parsons, proved the |
|
|
|
means of involving her in extreme distress. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'His creditors having discovered the place of
his retreat, he deemed it prudent to remove; and |
|
|
|
at this juncture an opportunity offered by
which he hoped to retrieve his fortune; and he there- |
|
|
|
fore embarked as captain of marines on board
the Dursley privateer. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Soon after the arrival of the ship at Deal,
Parsons went on shore, provided with pistols, being |
|
|
|
determined not to submit to an arrest, which he
supposed would be attempted. He had no |
|
|
|
sooner landed on the beach, than he was
approached by five or six men, one of whom |
|
|
|
|
attempted to seize him; but Parsons, stepping
aside, discharged one of the pistols, and lodged |
|
|
|
a ball in the man's thigh. He then said, he was
well provided with weapons, and would fire upon |
|
|
|
them if they presumed to give him further
molestation. Hereupon the officers retreated; and |
|
|
|
Parsons returned to the ship, which sailed from
Deal the following morning. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'They had been in the channel about a week,
when they made prize of a French privateer, |
|
|
|
which they carried into the port of Cork.
Parsons being now afflicted with a disorder that pre- |
|
|
|
vailed among the French prisoners, was sent on
shore for the recovery of his health. During his |
|
|
|
illness, the vessel sailed on another cruise,
and he was no sooner in a condition to permit him |
|
|
|
to leave his apartment, than he became anxious
to partake of the fashionable amusements. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In order to recruit his finances, which were
nearly exhausted, he drew bills of exchange on |
|
|
|
three merchants in London, on which he raised
£60; and before advice could be transmitted to |
|
|
|
Cork, that he had no effects in his hands of
the persons on whom he had drawn the bills, he |
|
|
|
embarked on board a vessel bound for England. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He landed at Plymouth, where he resided some
time under a military character, to support his |
|
|
|
claim to which he was provided with a
counterfeit commission. He frequented all places of public |
|
|
|
resort, and particularly where gaming was
permitted. His money being nearly expended, he |
|
|
|
obtained a hundred pounds from a merchant of
Plymouth, by means of a false draft upon an |
|
|
|
alderman in London. Some time after the
discovery of the fraud, the injured party saw Parsons |
|
|
|
a transport prisoner on board a ship bound to
Virginia, lying in Catwater Bay, where he assured |
|
|
|
him of his entire forgiveness and made him the
present of a guinea. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'From Plymouth, Parsons repaired to London, and
his money being nearly spent, he committed |
|
|
|
the following fraud, in conjunction with a
woman of the town: taking his accomplice to a tavern |
|
|
|
in the Strand (where he was known), he
represented her as an heiress, who had consented to |
|
|
|
a private marriage and requested the landlord
to send immediately for a clergyman. The parson |
|
|
|
being arrived, and about to begin the ceremony,
Parsons pretending to recollect that he had |
|
|
|
forgotten to provide a ring, and ordered the
waiter to tell some shop-keeper to the neighbour- |
|
|
|
hood to bring some plain gold rings. Upon this
the clergyman begged to recommend a very |
|
|
|
worthy man, who kept a jeweller's shop in the
neighbourhood: and Parsons said it was a matter |
|
|
|
of indifference with whom he laid out his
money; adding, that as he wished to compliment his |
|
|
|
bride with some small present, the tradesman
might also bring some diamond rings. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The rings being brought, and one of each
chosen, Parsons produced a counterfeit draft, saying, |
|
|
|
the jeweller might either give him change then,
or call for payment after the ceremony; on |
|
|
|
which the jeweller retired, saying, he would
attend again the afternoon. In a little time, the |
|
|
|
woman formed the pretence of leaving the room,
and upon her not returning soon, our hero |
|
|
|
affected great impatience, and, without taking
his hat, quitted the apartment, saying, he would |
|
|
|
enquire for the people of the house whether his
bride had not been detained by some unfore- |
|
|
|
seen accident. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'After waiting a considerable time, the
clergyman called the landlord; and as neither Parsons nor |
|
|
|
the woman could be found, it was rightly
concluded, that their whole intention was to |
|
|
|
|
perpetrate a fraud. In the meantime, our hero
and his accomplice met at an appointed place, |
|
|
|
and divided their booty. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In the year 1745, he counterfeited a draft
upon one of the collectors of the excise, in the |
|
|
|
name of the Duke of Cumberland, for five
hundred pounds. He carried the draft to the collector, |
|
|
|
who paid him fifty pounds in part, being all
the cash that remained in his hands. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He went to a tailor, saying, he meant to
employ him, on the recommendation of a gentleman of |
|
|
|
the army, whom he had long supplied with
clothes; adding, that a captain's commission was |
|
|
|
preparing for him at the war office. The tailor
furnished him with several suits of clothes; but |
|
|
|
not being paid according to agreement, he
entertained some suspicion as to the responsibility |
|
|
|
of his new customer; and therefore enquired at
the war-office respecting Captain Brown, and |
|
|
|
learnt that a commission was making out for a
gentleman of that name. Unable to get any part |
|
|
|
of the money due to him, and determined to be
no longer trifled with, he instituted a suit at |
|
|
|
common-law, but was non-suited, having laid his
action in the fictitious name of Brown, and it |
|
|
|
appearing that Parsons was the defendant's real
name. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Parsons sent a porter from the Ram Inn, in
Smithfield, with a counterfeit draft upon Sir Joseph |
|
|
|
Hankey and Co. for five hundred pounds. Parsons
followed the man, imagining that if he came |
|
|
|
out of Sir Joseph's house alone, he would have
received the money; and that if he was accomp- |
|
|
|
anied by any person, it would be a strong proof
of the forgery being discovered; and as he |
|
|
|
observed Sir Joseph and the porter get into a
hackney-coach, he resolved not to return to the |
|
|
|
inn. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He next went to a widow named Bottomley, who
lived near St. George's church, and saying |
|
|
|
that he had contracted to supply the regiment
to which belonged with hats, gave her an order |
|
|
|
to the amount of a hundred and sixty pounds. He
had no sooner got possession of the hats, |
|
|
|
than he sold them to a Jew for one half of the
sum he had agreed to pay for them. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Being strongly apprehensive that he could not
long avoid being arrested by some of his |
|
|
|
|
numerous and highly exasperated creditors, by
means of counterfeit letters, he procured himself |
|
|
|
to be taken into custody, as a person
disaffected to the king and government; and was |
|
|
|
|
supported without expense, in the house of one
of the king's messengers, for the space of |
|
|
|
eighteen months. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Being released from the messenger's house, he
resolved in his mind a variety of schemes for |
|
|
|
eluding the importunity of his creditors and at
length determined to embark for Holland. He |
|
|
|
remained in Holland a few months, and when his
money was nearly expended he returned to |
|
|
|
England. A few days after his arrival in
London, he went to a masquerade, where he engaged |
|
|
|
in play to the hazard of every shilling he
possessed, and was so fortunate as to obtain a |
|
|
|
|
sufficient sum for his maintenance for several
months. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'His circumstances being again distressed, he
wrote in pressing terms to his brother-in-law, who |
|
|
|
was an East-India director, entreating him that
he would procure him a commission in the |
|
|
|
|
company's service, either by land or sea. The
purport of the answer was, that a gentleman in |
|
|
|
the Temple was authorised to give the
supplicant a guinea, but that it would be fruitless for |
|
|
|
him to expect any further favours. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Having written a counterfeit draft, he went to
Ranelagh on a masquerade night, where he |
|
|
|
passed it to a gentleman who had won some small
sums of him. The party who received
the |
|
|
|
draft offered it for payment in a day or two
afterwards, when it was proved to be a counter- |
|
|
|
feit; in consequence of which Parsons was
apprehended, and committed to Wood Street |
|
|
|
|
compter [a prison usually used for debtors]. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'As no prosecutor appeared, Parsons was
necessarily acquitted; but a detainer being lodged, |
|
|
|
charging him with an offence similar to the
above, he was removed to Maidstone gaol, in order |
|
|
|
for trial at the Lent assizes at Rochester. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr Carey, the keeper of the prison, treated
Parsons with great humanity, allowing him to |
|
|
|
|
board in his family, and indulging him in every
privilege that he could grant, without a manifest |
|
|
|
breach of the duties of his office. But such
was the ingratitude of Parsons, that he formed a |
|
|
|
plan, which, had it taken effect, would have
utterly ruined the man to whom he was indebted |
|
|
|
in such great obligations. His intention was,
privately to take the keys from Mr Carey's apart- |
|
|
|
ment; and not only to escape himself, but even
to give liberty to every prisoner in the gaol; |
|
|
|
and this scheme he communicated to a man
accused of being a smuggler, who reported the |
|
|
|
matter to Mr Carey, desiring him to listen at
an appointed hour at night, when he would hear |
|
|
|
a conversation that would prove his
intelligence to be authentic. Mr Carey attended at the |
|
|
|
appointed time, and being convinced of the
ingratitude and perfidy of Parsons, he abridged him |
|
|
|
of his indulgences he had before enjoyed, and
caused him to be closely confined. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Being convicted at the assizes at Rochester,
he was sentenced to transportation for seven |
|
|
|
years; and in the following September he was
put on board the Thames, Captain Dobbins, |
|
|
|
bound for Maryland, in company of upwards of
one hundred and seventy other convicts, fifty of |
|
|
|
whom died in the voyage. In November, 1749,
Parsons was landed at Annapolis, in Maryland; |
|
|
|
and having remained in a state of slavery about
seven weeks, a gentleman of considerable |
|
|
|
property and influence, who was not wholly
unacquainted with his family, compassionating his |
|
|
|
unfortunate situation, obtained his freedom,
and received him at his house in a most kind and |
|
|
|
hospitable manner. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Parsons had not been in the gentleman's family
many days before he rode off with a horse |
|
|
|
which was lent him by his benefactor, and
proceeded towards Virginia; on the borders of which |
|
|
|
country he stopped a gentleman on horseback,
and robbed him of five pistoles [Spanish gold |
|
|
|
coins], a moidore [a Portuguese gold coin], and
ten dollars. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A few days after, he stopped a lady and
gentleman in a chaise, attended by a negro servant, |
|
|
|
and robbed them of eleven guineas and some
silver; after which he directed his course to the |
|
|
|
Potomack river, where finding a ship nearly
ready to sail for England, he embarked, and after a |
|
|
|
passage of twenty-five days landed at
Whitehaven. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He now produced a forged letter, in the name
of one of his relations, to a capital merchant of |
|
|
|
Whitehaven, signifying that he was entitled to
the family estate, in consequence of his father's |
|
|
|
decease, and prevailed upon him to discount a
false draft upon a banker in London for seventy- |
|
|
|
five pounds. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Upon his arrival in the metropolis, he hired a
handsome lodging at the west end of the town; |
|
|
|
but he almost constantly resided in houses of
ill fame, where the money he had so unjustly |
|
|
|
obtained was soon dissipated. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Having hired a horse, he rode to
Hounslow-heath, where, between ten and eleven o'clock at |
|
|
|
night, he stopped a postchaise, in which were
two gentlemen, whom he robbed of five guineas, |
|
|
|
some silver, and a watch. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A short time afterwards he stopped a gentleman
near Turnham-green, about twelve o'clock at |
|
|
|
night, and robbed him of thirty shillings, and
a gold ring. He requested that the ring might be |
|
|
|
returned, as it was his wife's wedding ring.
Parsons complied with the gentleman's request, and |
|
|
|
voluntarily returned the gentleman five
shillings, telling him, at the same time, that nothing but |
|
|
|
the most pressing necessity could have urged
him to the robbery: after which the gentleman |
|
|
|
shook hands with the robber, assuring him that,
on account of the civility of his behaviour, he |
|
|
|
would not appear to prosecute, if he should
hear of his being apprehended. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Returning to his lodgings near
Hyde-park-corner one evening, he overtook a footman in |
|
|
|
|
Piccadilly, and joining company with him, a
familiar conversation took place, in the course of |
|
|
|
which Parsons learnt that the other was due to
set out early on the following Sunday with a |
|
|
|
portmanteau, containing cash and notes to a
considerable value, the property of his master, |
|
|
|
who was then at Windsor. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'On the Sunday morning he rode towards Windsor,
intending to rob the footman. Soon after |
|
|
|
he had passed Turnham-green, he overtook two
gentlemen, one of whom was Mr Fuller, who |
|
|
|
had prosecuted him at Rochester, and who
perfectly recollecting his person, warned him not to |
|
|
|
approach. He however paid no attention to what
Mr Fuller said, but still continued sometimes |
|
|
|
behind and sometimes before them, though at a
very inconsiderable distance. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Upon coming into the town of Hounslow, the
gentlemen alighted, and commanded Parsons to |
|
|
|
surrender, adding that if he did not instantly
comply, they would alarm the town. He now |
|
|
|
|
dismounted, and earnestly entreated that the
gentlemen would permit him to speak to them |
|
|
|
in private which they consented to; and the
parties being introduced to a room at an inn, |
|
|
|
Parsons surrendered his pistols, which were
loaded and primed, and supplicated for mercy in |
|
|
|
the most pathetic terms. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In all probability he would have been
permitted to escape, had not Mr Day, landlord of the Rose |
|
|
|
and Crown at Hounslow, come into the room, and
advised that he might be detained as he |
|
|
|
conceived him very nearly to answer the
description of a highwayman by whom the roads in |
|
|
|
that part of the country had long been
infested. He was secured at the inn till the next day, |
|
|
|
and then examined by a magistrate, who
committed him to Newgate. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Parsons was now arraigned for returning from
transportation before the expiration of the term |
|
|
|
of his sentence: nothing therefore was
necessary to convict him but the identifying of his |
|
|
|
person. This being done, he received sentence
of death. His distressed father and wife used all |
|
|
|
their interest to obtain a pardon for him, but
in vain: he was an old offender, and judged by no |
|
|
|
means a fit object for mercy. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'While Parsons remained in Newgate, his
behaviour was such that it could not be determined |
|
|
|
whether he entertained a proper idea of his
dreadful situation. There is indeed but too much |
|
|
|
reason to fear that the hopes of a reprieve (in
which he deceived himself even to the last |
|
|
|
moments of his life) induced him to neglect the
necessary preparation for eternity. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'His taking leave of his wife afforded a scene
extremely affecting: he recommended to her |
|
|
|
parental protection his only child, and
regretted that his misconduct had put it in the power |
|
|
|
of a censorious world to reflect upon both the
mother and son. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He suffered at Tyburn, on the 11th of
February, 1751. At the place of execution he joined in |
|
|
|
the devotional exercises with a zeal that
proved him to be convinced of the necessity of |
|
|
|
|
obtaining the pardon of his creator.' |
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On the death of his grandfather, Sir William
Parsons, 3rd baronet, the child referred to above |
|
|
|
became Sir Mark Parsons, 4th baronet. The
baronetcy became extinct on his death in 1812. |

Sir John Dean Paul, 2nd baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In June 1855, warrants were issued for the
arrest of the three partners of the banking house |
|
|
|
of Strahan, Paul & Co., to answer a charge
of unlawfully converting to their own use securities |
|
|
|
entrusted to their safe keeping. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
One of these partners was Sir John Dean Paul,
the 2nd baronet. The officers of the court who |
|
|
|
had been given the task of executing the
warrant against Sir John arrived at his country house |
|
|
|
at Nutfield, near Reigate in Surrey. There they
found Sir John at home and were able to serve |
|
|
|
him with the warrant. By this time, it was too
late to transport their prisoner to London, and |
|
|
|
so they allowed their prisoner to go to bed,
taking the precaution of sitting all night outside his |
|
|
|
door. In the morning, they accompanied Sir John
to the nearest railway station, arriving just |
|
|
|
in time to purchase their tickets. After
installing Sir John in a compartment on the train, the |
|
|
|
train began to move and the two officers were
trying to board when they were pulled back by |
|
|
|
a railway porter, who explained that he had
orders to prevent passengers attempting to board |
|
|
|
moving trains. In vain did the officers explain
who they were and that their prisoner was |
|
|
|
|
escaping - the porter was adamant that he had
to follow his orders. By this time, the train had |
|
|
|
gone without them and they immediately made
themselves known to the railway superinten- |
|
|
|
dent who refused to signal the train to stop,
although he agreed to send a telegram to the |
|
|
|
London station.
The two officers travelled to London by the next train, which arrived
a mere |
|
|
|
ten minutes after Sir John's train, but when
they asked the London station-master if Sir John |
|
|
|
had been detained, the station-master quite
reasonably said no, since he had no idea what he |
|
|
|
looked like. Sir John surrendered himself to
the authorities about a week later. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At their subsequent trial, Sir John and his
partners were charged with having received from |
|
|
|
John Griffiths, Canon of Rochester, bonds to
the value of £5,000 and then, without the |
|
|
|
|
approval of the owner, making away with the
bonds. All three were found guilty and each |
|
|
|
received the maximum sentence, being
transportation for 14 years. Sir John did not serve all |
|
|
|
of his sentence, having obtained a ticket of
leave, after which he lived in retirement until his |
|
|
|
death. |

Sir Peter Payne, de jure 3rd baronet [GB 1737] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir Peter was the son of the second baronet,
Sir Gillies Payne. In his younger days, Sir Gillies |
|
|
|
had entered into a relationship with a farmer's
daughter named Maria Keeling. It appears that a |
|
|
|
number of children had been born by 1761, when
Sir Gillies and Maria Keeling finally married. |
|
|
|
Peter was the first son born after the marriage
took place, and therefore would normally be |
|
|
|
considered to be the eldest legitimate son and
thus heir to the title. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, on the death of his father in 1801,
Peter allowed his eldest brother, John Payne, to |
|
|
|
assume the title, even though John was
undoubtedly illegitimate. John died in May 1803, when |
|
|
|
he was "succeeded" by his eldest son, Charles, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It was not until 1828 that Peter allowed the
question of who was the rightful baronet to be |
|
|
|
raised. In that year, in a legal case before
the Court of Chancery (Glascott v Bridges), Peter |
|
|
|
permitted the matter to be raised. According to
his obituary in the "The Gentleman's Magazine" |
|
|
|
for July 1843, "Sir Charles Payne, of St.
Christopher's [i.e. St. Kitts in the West Indies], was |
|
|
|
created a baronet in 1737; and his son, Sir
Gillies, the second Baronet died 1801, when, says |
|
|
|
Courthope in his Extinct Baronetage, 1835, 'the
title became extinct. After a lapse of 27 years |
|
|
|
the title was assumed by Peter Payne, Esq.,
claiming to be a legitimate son of the last |
|
|
|
|
baronet.' Burke, in [his] Peerage and
Baronetage, states that Sir Peter 'succeeded to the title |
|
|
|
in 1828, in consequence of a decree of the
Court of Chancery, confirming a report finding him |
|
|
|
the eldest son born in wedlock of his late
father, Sir Gillies Payne, of Tempsford, in |
|
|
|
|
Bedfordshire.' " |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Evidence was given during the hearing that his
sister-in-law, widow of his brother John had, |
|
|
|
together with her sister, burned the marriage
certificate of Sir Gillies Payne. However, other |
|
|
|
evidence brought forward convinced the Court of
its existence, and, as a result, Peter was |
|
|
|
declared to be the eldest son born in wedlock.
In January 1829, however, this decision was |
|
|
|
reversed by the Lord Chancellor for reasons I
have been unable to discover. As part of this |
|
|
|
reversal, it was directed that the issue of the
legitimacy of John and Peter Payne be tried, |
|
|
|
but the question never came before the courts.
There is no doubt, however, that during his |
|
|
|
lifetime, Peter Payne's claim to be a baronet
was universally acknowledged; he is described |
|
|
|
as a baronet in all contemporary newspapers,
even up to the time of his widow's death in |
|
|
|
1883. Dod's Peerage and Baronetage includes an
entry for the baronetcy until at least 1899, |
|
|
|
although it describes the right to the title as
being in dispute between rival branches of the |
|
|
|
family (John's descendants claimed the
baronetcy as well). It is also
significant that the |
|
|
|
baronetcy does not appear in Burke's
"Extinct and Dormant Baronetage" published in 1841. |

Sir Ralph William Payne-Gallwey, 3rd baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When the motor-car first began to appear on
British roads around 1900, it was certainly not |
|
|
|
universally welcomed. The following report is
taken from the Christchurch, New Zealand 'Star' |
|
|
|
of 23 July 1903:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Anti-motor fanaticism has found a new apostle
in Sir Ralph Payne-Gallwey, a Yorkshire |
|
|
|
|
baronet, who was written an extraordinary
letter to the "Times." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"As a sure means of identifying the
reckless, 'don't care a hang for anybody' motor-car |
|
|
|
|
drivers," he writes, "the class of
men who daily imperil our lives and who are responsible for |
|
|
|
the 'motor murders' that too frequently occur,
I suggest a legalised use of the shot-gun. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"In the case of a motorist - by wilful
neglect of ordinary precautions - inflicting injury on a |
|
|
|
pedestrian, or causing damage to the property
of a person driving or riding on the highway, |
|
|
|
followed by an attempt to escape detection by
continuing his rapid progress, I consider the |
|
|
|
injured party should be legally permitted to
fire at the offender, the gun not to be used at a |
|
|
|
range exceeding forty yards, and the shot with
which it is loaded not to be of a larger size |
|
|
|
than No. 8 or 9. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Though in the circumstances I allude to
the bombardment would merely take effect on the |
|
|
|
back of the culprit, and would result in no
appreciable injury to him, it would surely tend to |
|
|
|
his exercising more civility and caution on
future occasions." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In a manner which the writer apparently
mistakes for humour, Sir Ralph Payne-Gallwey adds |
|
|
|
that cylinder-bored guns should be employed
because of their scattering propensities, so |
|
|
|
|
that there would be no difficulty in marking
and identifying the motorist at the next town he |
|
|
|
entered, the police having been advised by
telegraph. Cases charged with snipe shot, to be |
|
|
|
known as "motor cartridges," should
be supplied by the police at a moderate sum per thousand. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Although it is just possible that the baronet
intends his letter to be regarded as a comic |
|
|
|
|
effusion, many motorists are of opinion that it
shows at the least a deplorable lack of sense, |
|
|
|
inasmuch as it is calculated to encourage
lawlessness on the part of ignorant and prejudiced |
|
|
|
persons and to create a real danger for the
users of motor cars. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In some quarters the question has been raised
as to whether the latest exponent of anti- |
|
|
|
motor fanaticism has not rendered himself
liable to proceedings for inciting to violence.' |

Sir Arthur Pearson, 1st baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Following the death of Sir Arthur on 9 December
1921, an inquest was held into his death. The |
|
|
|
findings of this inquest were reported in 'The
Times' on 12 December:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'An inquiry was held at Paddington on Saturday
into the death of Sir Arthur Pearson, at his |
|
|
|
residence, in Devonshire-street, on Friday morning. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Coroner, Mr. H.R. Oswald, said that Sir
Arthur Pearson was found dead in his bath. He had |
|
|
|
lived a strenuous life, but seemed to be strong
physically and constitutionally. It was possible |
|
|
|
that his loss of sight had something to do in
accelerating his death. Sir Arthur Pearson, the |
|
|
|
Coroner added, was known as one of the finest
of philanthropists. He had a sunny, buoyant, |
|
|
|
and courageous nature, which, when he was
afflicted himself with loss of sight, did not lead |
|
|
|
him to despair and to moping but only braced
him for further energy and to do good to his |
|
|
|
fellow beings. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The first witness called was Sir Neville
Pearson [who had inherited the baronetcy on the death |
|
|
|
of his father], who said his father was 55
years of age. He lost his sight in 1914. Blindness |
|
|
|
came on gradually. For the past few years he
had been unable to distinguish light from |
|
|
|
|
darkness. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Coroner - Was he subject to fits? - No, Sir. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The witness said he last saw his father alive
on Thursday night about 11 o'clock, and he was |
|
|
|
then in good health and spirits. He had
followed his usual occupation during the day and had |
|
|
|
been to the theatre in the evening. He used to
go to St.Dunstan's every day. Physically he |
|
|
|
was a strong and well-built man. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'It was his father's custom to take a bath
every morning in his dressing-room. About 8.45 on |
|
|
|
Friday morning Miss Campbell (Sir Arthur
Pearson's secretary) came and told him she had seen |
|
|
|
Sir Arthur Pearson lying face downwards in the
bath. He went to the room and saw his father in |
|
|
|
the bath. His head was thrust down between his
shoulders. The water was bloodstained and |
|
|
|
quite still. There was no movement of any sort.
He must have been dead some time. His head |
|
|
|
was completely submerged. The water was not
running, and there was blood on the nozzle of |
|
|
|
the tap, which was of a fan-shaped type. It was
an enamelled bath, rather slippery. In fact, |
|
|
|
only the day before he had mentioned that he
had previously slipped in the bath. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Coroner - If he fell forward in getting
into the bath his head would strike the nozzle of |
|
|
|
the tap and, being blind, he would not know
where to support himself? - That is probable. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'How long would he have been in the bathroom? -
Presumably half an hour, judging from the |
|
|
|
time usually taken by him in getting up. A
doctor was at once telephoned for. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Naomi Agnes Glennie, head parlourmaid, said
she called Sir Arthur Pearson at 7.15, and took |
|
|
|
him an early cup of tea, when he seemed as
usual. He inquired about the weather, and said |
|
|
|
which suit he would wear. He always prepared
his own bath. |

secretary, said he was a man who always liked to |
|
|
|
do things for himself. He was very independent
and did not like people to help him. She last |
|
|
|
saw him alive on Thursday evening. It was his
custom to have breakfast at 8.30, but on Friday |
|
|
|
morning he did not come down, and after waiting
for 10 minutes, she went upstairs to see |
|
|
|
where he was. He was not in his dressing-room.
She saw his body in the bath, which was full |
|
|
|
of water. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir Milsom Rees said he was called to the
house at 8.50, and saw Sir Arthur Pearson lying |
|
|
|
with his head under the water and face
downwards. The water was discoloured with blood |
|
|
|
and there was also blood on the nozzle of the
tap. His head was lying in the direction of the |
|
|
|
tap and it was obvious that he was dead. The
witness could not definitely state the time of |
|
|
|
death. There was a wound about an inch long on
the right side of the forehead, which could |
|
|
|
have been caused by his falling against the
tap. He had obviously been stunned, as the body |
|
|
|
was in a restful position and apparently had
not moved after falling. Death had not occurred |
|
|
|
as the direct result of the blow, but from
asphyxia due to drowning. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Coroner said that a friend of his own in
the medical profession had met his death in the |
|
|
|
very same manner. He would record a verdict of
"Death from suffocation due to drowning |
|
|
|
|
consequent on falling against the nozzle of the
tap - from accidental causes." ' |

Samuel Peel, brother of Sir Theophilus Peel,
1st and only baronet |

"The Sunday Times" of 7 June 1914
contains the following short article:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A curious story comes to hand from Ponder's
End, Middlesex, of a gentleman who, though a |
|
|
|
baronet, never assumed the title but lived in
seclusion. He had dwelt in that style in a small |
|
|
|
dwelling for twenty years. A few days ago he
died at the age of seventy-four, and it now |
|
|
|
transpires that he was Sir Samuel Peel, and
succeeded his brother, Sir Theophilus Peel, Bart., |
|
|
|
a Yorkshireman, who died childless in 1911. Mr.
Samuel Peel never assumed the title. He has |
|
|
|
one brother living, Mr. Edwin Peel, of Bradford' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately for the writer of this article,
it appears obvious that "Mr. Samuel Peel never |
|
|
|
assumed the title" because he had no right
to do so. Reference to the London Gazette of |
|
|
|
|
10 September 1897 (issue 26890, page 5059)
shows that this baronetcy, as is almost always |
|
|
|
the case, had a remainder to "heirs male
of the body lawfully begotten." As Sir Theophilus |
|
|
|
died childless, the baronetcy died with him,
and could not have been inherited by Sir |
|
|
|
|
Theophilus' brother. |
