Sir Robert Stewart, 1st baronet of Allanbank |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir Robert is a central figure in the legend of
"Pearlin Jean," a famous Scottish ghost said to |
|
|
|
haunt the family home of Allanbank. The
following story is extracted from "The Haunters and |
|
|
|
the Haunted" edited by Ernest Rhys
(1859-1946) [Daniel O'Connor, London, 1921]. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'It was Charles Kirkpatrick Sharpe [c
1781-1851], the antiquary, who furnished this account of |
|
|
|
Pearlin Jean's hauntings at Allanbank. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"In my youth," he says, "Pearlin
Jean was the most remarkable ghost in Scotland, and my terror |
|
|
|
when a child. Our old nurse, Jenny Blackadder,
had been a servant at Allanbank, and often |
|
|
|
heard her rustling in silks up and down stairs,
and along the passages. She never saw her, but |
|
|
|
her husband did. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"She was a French woman, whom the first
baronet of Allanbank, then Mr. Stuart, met with at |
|
|
|
Paris,
during his tour to finish his education as a gentleman. Some people said she
was a nun; |
|
|
|
in
which case she must have been a Sister of Charity, as she appears not to have
been |
|
|
|
|
confined
to a cloister. After some time, young Stuart either became faithless to the
lady or was |
|
|
|
suddenly
recalled to Scotland by his parents, and had got into his carriage at the
door of the |
|
|
|
hotel,
when his Dido unexpectedly made her appearance, and stepping on the forewheel
of the |
|
|
|
coach
to address her lover, he ordered the postilion to drive on; the consequence
of which was |
|
|
|
that the lady fell, and one of the wheels going
over her forehead, killed her. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"In a dusky autumnal evening, when Mr.
Stuart drove under the arched gateway at Allanbank, |
|
|
|
he perceived Pearlin Jean sitting on the top,
her head and shoulders covered with blood. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"After this, for many years, the house was
haunted; doors shut and opened with great noise at |
|
|
|
midnight; the rustling of silks and pattering
of high-heeled shoes were heard in bedrooms and |
|
|
|
passages.
Nurse Jenny said there seven ministers called in together at one time to lay
the |
|
|
|
spirit; ''but they did no mickle good, my dear.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"The picture of the ghost was hung between
those of her lover and his lady, and kept her |
|
|
|
comparatively quiet; but when taken away, she
became worse-natured than ever. This portrait |
|
|
|
was in the present Sir J.G.'s possession. I am
unwilling to record its fate. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"The ghost was designated Pearlin, from
always wearing a great quantity of that sort of lace. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Nurse Jenny told me that when Thomas
Blackadder was her lover, they made an assignation to |
|
|
|
meet one moonlight night in the orchard at
Allanbank. True Thomas, of course, was the first |
|
|
|
comer; and seeing a female figure in a
light-coloured dress, at some distance, he ran forward |
|
|
|
with open arms to embrace his Jenny; when lo
and behold! as he neared the spot where the |
|
|
|
figure
stood, it vanished; and presently he saw it again at the very end of the
orchard, a |
|
|
|
considerable
way off. Thomas went home in a fright; but Jenny, who came last, and saw |
|
|
|
nothing, forgave him, and they were married. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Many years after this, about the year 1790,
two ladies paid a visit at Allanbank - I think the |
|
|
|
house
was then let - and passed the night there. They had never heard a word about
the |
|
|
|
ghost; but they were disturbed the whole night
with something walking backwards and forwards |
|
|
|
in their bed-chamber. This I had from the best
authority." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'To this account may be added that a
housekeeper, called Betty Norrie, who, in more recent |
|
|
|
times, lived many years at Allanbank,
positively averred that she, and many other persons, had |
|
|
|
frequently seen Pearlin Jean; and, moreover,
stated that they were so used to her as to be no |
|
|
|
longer alarmed at the noises she made.' |

Sir John Stirling, 5th baronet [NS 1666] and
his wife |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following romantic tale of the marriage of
Sir John Stirling, 5th baronet, appeared in the |
|
|
|
Hobart "Mercury" of 5 June 1871:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The following story of a young Canadian girl
is told by the St.Mary's Vidette:- Many years ago |
|
|
|
a young man made his appearance in Stratford
[in what is now Ontario in Canada], and spent |
|
|
|
a
few weeks at the tavern which then existed to afford shelter to stage-coach
travellers. |
|
|
|
Whence he came, and what his business, none
could guess. Directly opposite the tavern stood |
|
|
|
a small cottage and forge of a blacksmith named
Folsom [some sources say Folsome or Tolson]. |
|
|
|
He had a daughter who was the beauty of the
village, and it was her fortune to captivate the |
|
|
|
heart of the young stranger. He told his love,
said that he was travelling incognito, but in |
|
|
|
confidence
gave her his real name, claiming that he was heir to a large fortune. She
returned |
|
|
|
his
love, and they were married. A few weeks thereafter the stranger told his
wife that he must |
|
|
|
visit New Orleans: he did so, and the gossips
of the town made the young wife unhappy by |
|
|
|
disagreeable hints and jeers. In a few months
the husband returned, but before a week had |
|
|
|
elapsed he received a large budget of letters,
and told his wife he must at once return to |
|
|
|
England, and must go alone. He took his
departure and the gossips had another glorious |
|
|
|
|
opportunity to make a confiding woman wretched.
To all but herself it was a clear case of |
|
|
|
desertion. The wife became a mother, and for
two years lived on in silence and hope. By the |
|
|
|
end of that time a letter was received by the
Stratford beauty from her husband, directing |
|
|
|
her at once to go to New York with her child,
taking nothing with her but the clothes she wore. |
|
|
|
and embark in a ship for her home in England.
On arrival in New York, she found a ship |
|
|
|
|
splendidly
furnished with every convenience and luxury for her comfort, and two servants
ready |
|
|
|
to obey every wish she might express. The ship
duly arrived in England, and the Stratford girl |
|
|
|
became the mistress of a superb mansion, and,
as the wife of a baronet, was saluted by the |
|
|
|
aristocracy as Lady Samuel [sic] Stirling. On
the death of her husband, many years ago, the |
|
|
|
Stratford boy succeeded to the title and wealth
of his father, and in the last edition of "The |
|
|
|
Peerage and Baronetage," he is spoken of
as the issue of "Miss Folsom, of Stratford, North |
|
|
|
America." ' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Early editions of Burke's Peerage state that,
by his wife, Sir John had a very numerous family. |
|
|
|
In Playfair's "Baronetage" [1811] it
is said that by her he had "19 children in the first 18 years |
|
|
|
of their marriage." [!] The timing of the
marriage of Sir John and his wife, who is named as |
|
|
|
Gloryanah in "The Complete
Baronetage," is debateable - "The Complete Baronetage" has it
as |
|
|
|
"apparently before 1771" with a
second ceremony taking place in Glasgow in January 1774. |
|
|
|
Lady Stirling died 4 January 1826. |

Following the death of the 9th baronet in 1949,
the article below appeared in the 'Los Angeles |
|
|
|
Times' on 5th May 1949:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'An American undertaker today emerged as the
probable heir to a 300-year-old Scottish |
|
|
|
|
baronetcy. The claim of Robert Wilson Stirling,
58, of Indianapolis, was certified by none other |
|
|
|
than Debrett's
Peerage. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir George Murray Home Stirling, the 9th
baronet, died Sunday [1 May 1949]. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Some
of the other baronets were a bit startled by the news from Debrett's.
Undertakers are |
|
|
|
rare in the aristocracy of this land.
"Indeed, I should say that he must be our first one," said |
|
|
|
C.F.J. Hankinson, who as editor of Debrett's is
the No. 1 authority on British blue blood. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'There is very strong evidence - almost
conclusive, Hankinson said - that the title will go to |
|
|
|
Indianapolis. Sir George, who was 80, had only
one son, Capt. George Archibald, and he was |
|
|
|
killed in the war. The male closest to the
title, it was established after long inquiry, is a grand- |
|
|
|
child of the 5th baronet - the undertaker in
Indianapolis. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'At Indianapolis, Stirling, 58, said he isn't
going to give up his American citizenship to become |
|
|
|
a Scottish baronet. "I've always been an
undertaker," he added. "I'm happy here. I wouldn't |
|
|
|
consider going over there to live." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This
statement must have gladdened the heart of one of his relations, since,
according to |
|
|
|
'The Washington Post' of 6 May 1949:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Undertaker Robert W. Stirling declared today
that he's "just as blue-blooded" as the Scottish |
|
|
|
spinster who doesn't want him to have a
baronetcy. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'And if she wants to fight, why, he'll fight
that too, he said. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Stirling's pride was aroused when he was told
Elizabeth Stirling, daughter of the late Sir |
|
|
|
|
George Stirling, 9th baronet of Glorat, had
scoffed at him as an heir. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Stirling, who has never been in Scotland,
inherited the baronetcy when Sir George, his first |
|
|
|
cousin [sic] died Sunday. The peerage [sic]
goes to male heirs only. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Indianapolis mortician said he would
forego the title if it meant giving up his citizenship. |
|
|
|
But authorities in London said he could become
Sir Robert Stirling as is. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Elizabeth Stirling said in Scotland that her
cousin will have to wait a long time before he takes |
|
|
|
over the stately home with its 4000-acre
estate. "Good heavens," she said, "we Stirlings are |
|
|
|
one of the oldest families in this part of
Scotland. Why, we've been here since 1508 in this very |
|
|
|
house. Do you think we are going to turn the
whole thing over to some undertaker from |
|
|
|
|
Indianapolis, Ohio, or wherever it is?" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Stirling said that if Miss Stirling wanted to
take that attitude, he would fight for his rights. He |
|
|
|
said he understood the estate was valued at
$1,000,000, but said that much money would |
|
|
|
"worry me to death." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As the baronetcy currently appears on the
Standing Council of the Baronetage's listing of |
|
|
|
|
baronetcies to which no succession has been
proved, it seems that the undertaker was true |
|
|
|
to his word and never sought to take up the title. |

baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir Robert was missing for 12 days in September
1948 after the plane in which he and four |
|
|
|
other persons were travelling was forced to
land in northern Manitoba, Canada. The first report |
|
|
|
below appeared in "The Times" of 14
September 1948:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Captain Sir Robert Stirling-Hamilton, British
Admiralty representative in Canada, is one of the |
|
|
|
passengers in a United States Navy aircraft
which has been missing for 24 hours on a flight |
|
|
|
between Churchill and The Pas, Manitoba. Sir
Robert Stirling-Hamilton went to Churchill during |
|
|
|
the
week-end to see the arrival there of two Canadian warships, the Nootka and
Haida, on a |
|
|
|
training cruise. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

'Four
others on board the missing Beachcraft aircraft include Captain Ben Scott
Custer, |
|
|
|
|
American Naval Attaché at the United States
Embassy in Ottawa. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Many R.C.A.F. Machines are taking part in the
search. The missing aircraft had only enough |
|
|
|
petrol to last until 2.30 yesterday afternoon
and was meeting heavy weather.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"The Times" 15 September 1948:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Seventeen Canadian and American aircraft were
engaged to-day in searching the wild bush- |
|
|
|
land territory of northern Manitoba in the hope
of finding the missing United States Navy |
|
|
|
|
aircraft which left Churchill on Sunday with
five passengers for Ottawa. So far no trace of the |
|
|

missing flyers has been reported in Ottawa. |

Stirling-Hamilton, naval adviser to the British |

High Commissioner in Ottawa, and Captain B.J.
Custer, naval attaché at the American Embassy |
|

here [Ottawa], both of whom had taken their
appointments in Ottawa only a few weeks ago.' |

"The Times" 16 September 1948:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A north country trapper to-day reported having
seen an aircraft on Sunday morning at Setting |
|
|
|
Lake, 60 miles north of Lake Winnipeg, that
might be the missing machine in which Sir Robert |
|
|
|
Stirling-Hamilton and four other persons were
flying to Ottawa. The report gave fresh impetus |
|
|
|
to the search, which is now the biggest ever
made in Canada. An international force of 35 |
|
|
|
aircraft is combing an area of over 60,000
square miles. About 300 airmen and ground staff |
|
|
|
are taking part. Three Lancasters left The Pas,
Manitoba, to-day to scour the country north of |

Lake Winnipeg. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Twelve days after it vanished, a U.S. Navy
plane carrying Captain Sir Robert Stirling-Hamilton, |
|
|
|
senior
British Naval officer in Canada, and four others, was found tonight in the
wilds of |
|
|
|

plane. |

|
|
|
|
|
'A white arrow printed in the sand near the
plane pointed south. Following its direction, five |

survivors were found about 25 miles from the
plane. Rescue operations have been launched |
|
|
|
from a flying-boat station nearby. Maps have
been dropped to the survivors with instructions |

telling them where a rescue craft will land. |
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
'The plane was located on the shore of a mapped
but unnamed lake 250 miles north-west of |

Sir Walter William Strickland, 9th baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir
Walter was known as the 'anarchist baronet,' due to his revolutionary ideals.
As a young |
|
|
|
man
he had lived in India, Ceylon, Java and Singapore, and had travelled
extensively in Russia, |
|
|
|
where he appears to have acquired his anarchist
beliefs. He is described as 'an extraordinary |
|
|
|
character, a scholar, anarchist, and gypsy. For
thirty years he wandered over the world, |
|
|
|
|
botanizing, translating Horace and Moliere,
getting into trouble with most civilized governments, |
|
|
|
and writing violent pamphlets and verses
against established things.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
His
name was often in the newspapers by reason of his constant disappearances. It
was said |
|
|
|
that during his whole life, he spent only one
week in London. He once declared that he had |
|
|
|
hidden himself on the Continent because he had
received a warning from 'an absolutely reliable |
|
|
|
source' that powerful officials were plotting
his assassination. In a letter to a London newspaper |
|
|
|
Sir Walter declared that 'the vulgar,
ungentlemanly, and, indeed, murderous persecution to |
|
|
|
which I have been subjected is exclusively British.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once, in Vienna, he was mistakenly arrested in
the belief that he was a wanted murderer. Sir |
|
|
|
Walter commented that 'this was a great
compliment, since the wanted man was described as |
|
|
|
extremely handsome and aristocratic looking.' A
series of newspaper reports just prior to WW1 |
|
|
|
comment on his disappearance, only to be
followed a short time later by further reports that |
|
|
|
he had been located - at various points he was
in the south of France, Spain (where he refused |
|
|
|
to disclose his address for 'political
reasons') and Geneva. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In January 1923, Sir Walter announced that he
had become a citizen of Czechoslovakia, and |
|
|
|
that he had dropped the use of his title. In
1931, he moved to Java where he died in 1938. His |
|
|
|
will was typically eccentric. It stated that,
for the first 21 years after his death, his estate was |
|
|
|
to be used in publishing various manuscripts
left by him. After the completion of the 21 years, |
|
|
|
'the income is to be paid to a Buddhist society
to found a chair or laboratory of physics on |
|
|
|
Buddhist
lines at such university or place not in the British Islands; to found a
chair or |
|
|
|
|
laboratory of practical psychology on similar
conditions; any surplus income to be used for |
|
|
|
propaganda purposes in the spread of Buddhism.' |

Sir Charles Norman Lockhart Stronge, 8th
baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir Charles sat in the Northern Ireland
Parliament between 1938 and 1969 and was Speaker |
|
|
|
the Northern Ireland Parliament between 1945
and 1969. He, together with his son and heir, |
|
|
|
was assassinated by the IRA in 1981. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following report appeared in 'The Times' on
23 January 1981:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
Provisional IRA announced yesterday that it killed Sir Norman Stronge, former
Speaker of |
|
|
|
the Northern Ireland Parliament, and his son
James on Wednesday night in reprisal for killings by |
|
|
|
"loyalist" gangs, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir Norman, aged 86, and his son, a bachelor
aged 48, were shot at point-blank range in the |
|
|
|
library of the family home, Tynan Abbey, a mile
from the border in South Armagh. Most of the |
|
|
|
home was left in ruins after the killers set
off at least two incendiary bombs. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'An
intensive search on both sides of the border continued throughout yesterday
without |
|
|
|
success. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The IRA said in a statement in Belfast:
"This deliberate attack on the symbols of hated |
|
|
|
|
Unionism was a direct reprisal for a whole
series of loyalist assassinations and murder attacks |
|
|
|
on nationalist people and nationalist activities. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'That
was a reference to the attempt to murder Mrs. Bernadette McAliskey, the
former MP, |
|
|
|
and her husband Michael at their remote home in
co. Tyrone on Friday, as well as the murder |
|
|
|
of four leading republican activists since last
May: Mrs, Miriam Daly, Mr. John Turnly, Mr. Noel |
|
|
|
Lyttle and Mr. Ronald Bunting. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir Norman and his son let off flares from the
house after the killers had burst open the door |
|
|
|
with an explosive device, and the bright light
alerted the police. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'At least ten terrorists were involved in the
operation, which began when two families were |
|
|
|
held captive in the village of Tynan. Other
terrorists used their cars to drive to the abbey, |
|
|
|
built in 1790 and set in 900 acres of farm and
woodland. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The police arrived as the killers were
escaping in the stolen cars. One vehicle was rammed |
|
|
|
by a police car and a 10-minute gun battle
followed. There would have been police casualties |
|
|
|
but for the armour plate and bullet-resistant
glass in their vehicles. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Some
of the police returned fire, using high-powered Armalite rifles and hand
guns. The |
|
|
|
|
killers ran across the fields in the pitch
darkness towards the border. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The terrorists were wearing black berets and
combat gear, typical of the IRA. They did not |
|
|
|
wear masks and their age was estimated at
around 23. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Helicopters with searchlights were brought in
by the Army, when reports of the attack came |
|
|
|
through. Police in the Irish Republic set up
roadblocks and within a short time hundreds of men |
|
|
|
were involved in the search. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Almost every section of opinion in Ireland
yesterday condemned the murders, but the IRA said: |
|
|
|
"For us, the decision to take such
reprisals represents a real departure, no matter how sections |
|
|
|
of the media and the politicians have attempted
to misconstrue, with a sectarian label, IRA |
|
|
|
attacks on the Royal Ulster Constabulary and
Ulster Defence Regiment. Our operations against |
|
|
|
these targets have been based on their
involvement in the Crown forces, But our decision to |
|
|
|
take reprisals for the activities of loyalist
paramilitaries is being taken on a political basis. The |
|
|
|
responsibility for reprisals rests four square
on their shoulders." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Although Sir Norman and his son were killed in
the same attack, the law assumed that Sir |
|
|
|
|
Norman, being the older party, had died first,
with the result that James Stronge was assumed |
|
|
|
to have succeeded to the baronetcy, even if
only for a few seconds. For a discussion on such |
|
|
|
circumstances, see the note under the Barons
Stamp in the peerage pages. |

|
|
|
|
This baronetcy was assumed in 1877, such
assumption being announced in 'The Times' of |
|
|
|
|
10 March 1877, when the following notice
appeared in the classified advertising section:- |
|
|

Chancery on the 2nd day of March 1877. And Whereas I consider it a sacred
duty which I |
|
|
|
owe to the memory of my ancestors, and for the
future benefit and welfare of my family to |
|
|
|
assume and take unto myself and the heirs male
of the body of the said Sir Solomon Swale, |
|
|
|
Baronet,
lawfully begotten of his body, the title of a Baronet. Now be it known to all
whom |
|
|
|
these presents may concern that I the said John
Swale, have assumed the said Baronetcy and |
|
|
|
will hereafter be known only as the Reverend Sir John Swale, Baronet, O.S.B., at present of |
|
|
|
Birtley aforesaid. Dated this 8th day of March
1877. [Signed] JOHN SWALE. WITNESS, John |
|
|

Johnson,
Birtley, near Chester-le-Street, Agent. Vouched by me, G.H. De S. N.

The baronetcy appears to have been recognised
by Dod's Peerage, appearing in various editions |
|
|
|
until at least 1899. The "Sir" John
Swale who placed the notice in 'The Times' died in July 1888 |
|
|
|
and was "succeeded" by his younger
brother, Benjamin. When he died in October 1889, the |
|
|
|
baronetcy "passed" to the next
brother, James, who died in October 1901, to be succeeded by |
|
|
|
his son, James Bishop Swale. This
"baronet" appeared in Who's Who, with the note "claims as |
|
|
|
11th
baronet," until at least 1911, but disappears shortly thereafter,
presumably because he |
|
|
|
was unable to substantiate his claim following
the establishment of the Official Roll of the |
|
|
|
|
Baronetage. |

Sir Mark Masterman Sykes, 3rd Baronet of
Sledmere, Yorkshire [created 1783] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir Mark was involved in an interesting legal
case in 1812 which was reported in 'The Weekly |
|
|
|
Entertainer and West of England Miscellany' on
6 April 1812:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A curious trial, in which the Rev. R. Gilbert
was plaintiff and Sir M.M. Sykes, Bart., M.P., |
|
|
|
|
defendant, came on at the York Assizes, for the
recovery of a bet on the life on Buonaparte; |
|
|
|
the condition of which was, that the plaintiff,
on paying 100 guineas, should receive one |
|
|
|
|
guinea per day so long as Buonaparte should
live. The contract had been performed on the |
|
|
|
part
of the plaintiff, and for a considerable period, nearly three years, the
defendant |
|
|
|
|
continued to pay the stipulated sum. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'It
was contended on the part of the defendant, that the offer made by Sir M.
Sykes, "to |
|
|
|
receive 100 guineas to pay one guinea per day
during the life of Buonaparte," was a hasty |
|
|
|
expression in a moment of conviviality. Mr.
Gilbert did, indeed, when he found the feeling |
|
|
|
|
of the company against the bet, say, "If
you will submit, Sir Mark, to ask it as a favour you |
|
|
|
may be off." Mr. Topping said, he should
contend that the proposal of Sir Mark was not meant |
|
|
|
as a serious bet; and if this should be the
opinion of the jury, he would be entitled to a verdict; |
|
|
|
but if it should be thought a real wager, he
should even then submit some observations on the |
|
|
|
law of the case and contend, that in the event
of an invasion an interest might be revealed |
|
|
|
in this wager totally inconsistent with the
public safety. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Putting the case," said Mr. Topping,
"that Buonaparte should, at the head of an immense army, |
|
|
|
succeed in effecting a descent upon this
country, it is clear that the plaintiff would have an |
|
|
|
interest in protecting that life, which every
true subject and friend of his country would be |
|
|
|
interested in destroying; he would have an
annuity of 365 guineas per annum depending upon |
|
|
|
the personal safety of this inveterate enemy of
our country. I know not whether the Rev. |
|
|
|
Clergyman frequently attends the church, where
we are commanded to pray for our enemies, |
|
|
|
but the plaintiff has a most cogent motive for
being devout in this part of the service - an |
|
|
|
interest of 365 guineas a year." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The judge then proceeded to state the evidence
to the jury, with his observations upon it, |
|
|
|
leaving them to decide on the fact - whether
there was an intention of betting on the part of |
|
|
|
Sir Mark Sykes, and reserving the point of law.
The jury returned a verdict for the defendant.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Rev. Gilbert, having lost his action, then
appealed to the Court of King's Bench, where the |
|
|
|
appeal was heard on 12 June 1812. Gilbert again
lost as the jury found "the wager to be |
|
|
|
|
contrary to law, contrary to morality and
contrary to Christianity." |

Sir Tatton Sykes, 5th Baronet of Sledmere,
Yorkshire [created 1783] |
|
|

|
|

The following is extracted from "The
Emperor of the United States of America and Other |
|
|
|
|
Magnificent British Eccentrics" by
Catherine Caufield (Routledge & Kegan Paul, London 1981) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir Tatton Sykes believed that the human body
should be kept at a constant temperature. In |
|
|
|
order to achieve this he had a sequence of
overcoats, each a different colour, made to fit |
|
|
|
over one another. Every morning he set out
wearing several or all of them; as the day |
|
|
|
|
progressed,
he shed them one by one. Rather than carrying his unwanted layers about
with |
|
|
|
him, he just left them wherever they dropped
and made a standing offer to the local children, |
|
|
|
a reward of one shilling for each coat returned
to the house. He often wore two pairs of |
|
|
|
|
trousers for the same reason and was once seen
in a railway carriage taking off his shoes and |
|
|
|
socks and sticking his feet out of the window
in an effort to maintain the correct body |
|
|
|
|
temperature. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The tenants on the estate at Sledmere, in
Yorkshire, got used to his appearance fairly quickly, |
|
|
|
but
it must have taken them somewhat longer to come to terms with his views on
the |
|
|
|
|
landscape. One of Sir Tatton's first acts on
inheriting the property in 1863 was to plough up |
|
|
|
all the gardens and lawns on his property and
to forbid the growing of flowers - "nasty, untidy |
|
|
|
things" - in the village. He used his
walking stick to knock down any offending blossoms which |
|
|
|
caught his eye and he advised one of his
tenants "if you wish to grow flowers, grow |
|
|
|
|
cauliflowers!" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir Tatton also disliked people using their
front doors and he forbade his tenants to do so. Their |
|
|
|
doors had be barred or bolted and he had a
number of houses built with trompe-l'oeil front |
|
|
|
doors and entrance possible only through the
back. He also objected to gravestones, as a |
|
|
|
result of which the graves of members of Sykes'
family who died during his 'reign' and were |
|
|
|
buried at Sledmere are unmarked and impossible
to distinguish. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir
Tatton travelled a great deal - to Japan, Mexico, Russia, China and America,
as well as on |
|
|
|
the Continent. On these trips he took his cook
with him, not so that he could indulge in |
|
|
|
|
spectacular meals but to ensure a continuous
supply of milk puddings, the only really fit food for |
|
|
|
a delicate stomach. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
One
morning in 1911 Sledmere caught fire. Sir Tatton, warned to get out, stayed
at table |
|
|
|
saying with his characteristic nervous stammer
"First I must finish my pudding, finish my |
|
|
|
|
pudding."
Finally he emerged, settled into a chair on the front lawn and watched for
eighteen |
|
|
|
hours
as the old house was utterly destroyed. Rebuilding began at once, but when he
died two |
|
|
|
years
later, Sir Tatton was staying in London at the Metropole Hotel. The manager,
fearful of |
|
|
|
the
effect that this news might have on his other guests, wanted to smuggle the
body out in a |
|
|
|
specially
designed hollow sofa. Tatton's son Mark Sykes protested "however my
father leaves |
|
|
|
this hotel, he will leave it like a
gentleman," and his mortal remains were eventually carried out |
|
|
|
in
a more conventional manner - though one suspects that the hotel manager's
idea might have |
|
|
|
pleased the old man who left instructions that
he was to be conveyed to his grave in a farm- |
|
|
|
cart. |

**************** |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In January 1898, Sir Tatton was one of the
central figures in a sensational court case which |
|
|
|
involved himself, his wife, and a moneylender.
The following summary of the case appeared |
|
|
|
in the Christchurch, New Zealand 'Star' of 5
March 1898:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The action of Jay v. Sykes came to an end in
London in January, after a trial of five days. The |
|
|
|
case revealed something more than the ordinary
story of moneylender and needy client. It |
|
|
|
disclosed, on the part of a lady of society, a
career of reckless extravagance which resulted in |
|
|
|
financial embarrassments, from which the lady
gambler sought to free herself by a series of |
|
|
|
audacious forgeries, backed up by ingenious and
unblushing perjury. The facts of the case lay |
|
|
|
in a nutshell. Mr. Daniel Jay, a bill
discounter, claimed from Sir Tatton and Lady Sykes a sum of |
|
|
|
nearly £16,000 (including interest at the
exorbitant rate of 60 per cent) upon five promissory |
|
|
|
notes bearing the signatures of both
defendants. Lady Sykes admitted liability, but Sir Tatton |
|
|
|
bluntly affirmed that the signatures purporting
to be his to the promissory notes and to the |
|
|
|
letters
authorising Mr. Jay to pay the money to Lady Sykes were forgeries. Forgery or
no |
|
|
|
forgery was, therefore, the question for the
jury, for Lady Sykes swore positively that Sir |
|
|
|
Tatton had signed all the documents in her
presence. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The case was a remarkable one, both from the
character of the dramatis personae and from |
|
|
|
the diametrically opposed tales they told. Sir
Tatton is a man of seventy-two, the eldest son |
|
|
|
of the eccentric Sir Tatton Sykes, well-known
for his sporting proclivities. The son seems to |
|
|
|
have inherited both his father's eccentricity
and love of the turf. He divides his time between |
|
|
|
breeding yearlings and building churches. He
avoids society, never going out, except to race |
|
|
|
meetings.
He has a large rent-roll, a handsome income, a country seat at Sledmere,
in |
|
|
|
|
Yorkshire, with some 34,000 acres, a house in
Grosvenor street, and a cottage at Newmarket. |
|
|
|
His wife, Lady Jessica, who is much younger,
married him twenty-four years ago, and is well- |
|
|
|
descended, being the eldest daughter of the
Right Hon. George Cavendish-Bentinck, and |
|
|
|
|
great granddaughter of the third Duke of
Portland. Coming fresh from her governess's hands, |
|
|
|
the young girl, introduced into no society but
that met with on the racecourse, took to betting |
|
|
|
on a system and gambling on the Stock Exchange,
with the inevitable result - the accumulation |
|
|
|
of
a large number of private debts. It was her struggle to extricate herself
from these that led |
|
|
|
to litigation. Sir Tatton at the end of 1896
was in communication with his solicitors about the |
|
|
|
heavy liabilities contracted by his wife, and
in December of that year he advertised in the |
|
|
|
papers his repudiation of liability for her
debts, and took from her a promise in writing that (in |
|
|
|
consideration of his paying £12,000 to
discharge her liabilities, and guaranteeing her £5,000 a |
|
|
|
year) she would not speculate any more on the
Stock Exchange or bet for credit on the turf. |
|
|
|
At this time, apparently nothing was said by
Lady Sykes about the debts to jay. More and more |
|
|
|
claims followed, and at last in May, 1897, Sir
Tatton heard for the first time of Jay's existence. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr. Jay did not go into the box, but Lady
Sykes came up smiling with a strange but plausible |
|
|
|
story. According to her, Sir Tatton was a
wealthy, parsimonious "old hunks," who never paid |
|
|
|
for
anything. She had to keep both his establishments going, and to do so had to
borrow |
|
|
|
money. The debts, once started, kept growing
like a snowball. She was always trying to get |
|
|
|
Sir Tatton to settle, but he would never do so.
He always wanted to postpone the evil day, |
|
|
|
and as he was singularly ignorant of business,
he made an arrangement with his wife that, |
|
|
|
instead of supplying money from time to time,
he should lend his signature on the understanding |
|
|
|
that
she should in some way manage to provide the money periodically and involve
him in no |
|
|
|
responsibility.
In this way he became a party to various securities, and by means of
renewals |
|
|
|
a very large liability was kept floating
without his being driven, except in cases of necessity, |
|
|
|
to make provision for it. When financial crises
came she had to persuade him to come down |
|
|
|
with the cash. In spite of his parsimony she
knew how to manage him. It was easier
to get a |
|
|
|
large sum out of him than a small one, and
although he was like a naughty child with regard to |
|
|
|
money matters, often throwing dividend warrants
into the waste-paper basket, he would sign |
|
|
|
anything she put before him. Unfortunately,
having a lack of memory in business matters that |
|
|
|
amounted almost to imbecility, he had a habit
afterwards of repudiating his signatures to |
|
|
|
|
cheques and bills. Hence his professed
ignorance of Mr. Jay and Mr. Jay's securities. To support |
|
|
|
her assertion of her husband's imbecility Lady
Syke's produced her son's tutor, who considered |
|
|
|
that Sir Tatton was suffering from incipient
insanity, because he wore seven or eight coats |
|
|
|
at once. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Lady Sykes's story was told with a cool
assurance and a quick wit that had a retort ready |
|
|
|
for every question, however disconcerting. Her
tale, however, was just a little "too artistic." |
|
|
|
She
struck several heavy snags. The first of these was the position of Sir
Tatton's bank |
|
|
|
|
account. His bank at Leeds allowed him to
overdraw his account to a far larger extent than |
|
|
|
the whole amount of Jay's promissory notes, and
charged him only 5 per cent on the overdraft. |
|
|
|
Why then should Sir Tatton, if he wanted money,
borrow at 60 per cent from a money lender? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Then when the account of Sir Tatton's payments
for household expenses was put in evidence, |
|
|
|
it
showed that for the last six years Sir Tatton had made payments for household
expenses |
|
|
|
amounting to a yearly average of £7,665. During
the time Lady Sykes had accused him of |
|
|
|
parsimony he had, in addition to many other
sums of money, paid her for her private use one |
|
|
|
lump sum of £10,000 and another of £16,000. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
dissimilarity of handwriting between the signatures on Jay's securities and
those admitted |
|
|
|
to be Sir Tatton's was another awkward point to
get over. The usual number of graphologists |
|
|
|
were called, but the testimony of Sir Tatton's
banker, who would never have passed the bills, |
|
|
|
and the evidence of the jury's own eyes,
clinched the matter. Unfortunately, too, for herself, |
|
|
|
Lady
Sykes had chosen some unfortunate dates on which to obtain Sir Tatton's
signature to |
|
|
|
incriminating documents. On Oct. 2, 1895, when
she declared she saw him sign one of them in |
|
|
|
England, he seems, as a matter of fact, to have
been staying in Brussels with his nephew. And |
|
|
|
on Jan. 2, 1897, the date of one of the bills
which Lady Sykes swore he signed in London, he |
|
|
|
was shown by greatly preponderating evidence to
have been at Sledmere, whither he went on |
|
|
|
New Year's Day. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir Tatton, in the witness-box, certainly
showed that he possessed no very reliable memory, |
|
|
|
but he gave his evidence intelligibly, and
exhibited none of that softening of the brain with |
|
|
|
which he must undoubtedly have been afflicted
if the whole of the Jay transactions had faded |
|
|
|
from his mind. His story, indeed, although
largely corroborated, was scarcely less incredible |
|
|
|
than his wife's. He suggested that two or three
years after his marriage, Lady Sykes, in her |
|
|
|
hurry to get possession of the house in
Grosvenor Street, had forged his signature to the lease |
|
|
|
of it, and that ever since, although she had
been living on friendly terms with him and |
|
|
|
|
accompanying him on his travels, she had - in
her career of prodigality - been forging his name |
|
|
|
time
after time. Each time he hushed the scandal up and paid like a saint until at
last he could |
|
|
|
pay no longer. He put his foot down by running
away to get up his pluck for the final expose; |
|
|
|
told
his wife to go to Patagonia, and finally made his appearance in Court to testify to the |
|
|
|
very wicked and criminal proceedings on the
part of his wife. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The two characters might well have been the
creation of some imaginative novelist's brain. The |
|
|
|
Judge directed the documents to be impounded.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
jury found that Sir Tatton had not signed the promissory notes in question,
and, as a |
|
|
|
result, gave its verdict in his favour. |
