Sir George Jessel | ||
MP for Dover 1868‑1873 | ||
Sir George was one of the leading legal figures of his time, being Solicitor-General from 1871-1873, when he was appointed Master of the Rolls, which post he retained until his death in 1883. In February 1878, he was the subject of an assassination attempt by a deranged petitioner to the Courts. The following article on this attempt appeared in The Scotsman of 23 February 1878:- | ||
Yesterday morning at ten minutes to ten o'clock, a clergyman, said to be the Rev. Henry John Dodwell, of 19 Moor Street, Soho, who is believed to be insane, made a deliberate attempt to assassinate the Right Hon. Sir George Jessel, the Master of the Rolls in London. The clergyman was seen waiting about the Rolls Court in Chancery Lane for some time previous to his Lordship's arrival, and when Sir George stepped from a hansom cab in which he had driven to Court, and was about to enter the Court-house, Dodwell discharged a pistol, and the bullet missed his Lordship, but passed so close to his ear that a partial deafness ensued. Dodwell was immediately taken into custody, and was temporarily locked up at the Police Station in Rolls Yard. The Master of the Rolls took his seat on the bench within twenty minutes after the occurrence, when Mr. Roxburgh, Q.C., the senior member of the bar practising in his Lordship's Court, addressed his Lordship and expressed on behalf of the bar the grief with which they had heard of the attempt which had been made on the life of his Lordship. His Lordship in reply hanked the gentlemen of the bar for their kind expressions of sympathy. He had every reason to believe, he said, that the man who made the attempt was insane. I may state, he added, that the reason for the attempt was no doubt this - that this man had presented a petition of the most absurd character to Vice-Chancellor [Sir Richard] Malins, who rejected it. He appealed to the Appeal Court one day when I was sitting there, and we came to the conclusion that the decision of the Vice-Chancellor was right. Since that time he has ttended, I think, almost every motion day of the Appeal Court with an absurd motion for another hearing, and Lord Justice Thesiger knew the man, and told me he was insane. But >the last time but one that I sat in the Appeal Court, when he came again, as he would not sit down, I told him if he would not do so, he must be removed, and he then went away. I have no doubt that that made him angry, and was the cause of his making this attempt on my life. | ||
The prisoner was subsequently charged at Bow Street Police Court, before Mr. Flowers, with having feloniously fired a pistol at Sir George Jessel, with the intent to murder him or to do him some grievous bodily harm. He was undefended. Wm. Hayes, court keeper and usher of the Rolls Court, said that he saw the prisoner in the Court that morning about half-past nine. He asked the witness what time the Master arrived, and was told that he sat at ten o'clock, but usually arrived about ten minutes before. The prisoner then left the Court. Shortly afterwards Sir George Jessel drove up in a cab, and, according to custom, witness went out to receive him. His Lordship had scarcely got out of the cab when the witness heard the report of a pistol so close to his face as to deafen him. He turned round, and then saw the prisoner standing with a pistol in his hand. He called for the police, who came and took the prisoner into custody. The prisoner made no attempt to run away, and he offered his card to somebody. The witness produced the pistol taken from the prisoner. It was a single-barrelled weapon. After some further evidence had been given, it was stated that a letter had been found on the prisoner which he wished posted, but which the magistrate on reading said referred to his trouble. He now said he had a letter from the Lord Chancellor which would prove his case. The prisoner, who appeared not at all to realise the seriousness of his position, was remanded. | ||
At his subsequent trial, Dodwell was found not guilty by reason of insanity, and was ordered to be detained during her Majesty's pleasure in the Broadmoor Lunatic Asylum. From here he constantly petitioned the Home Secretary for his release, but all such petitions were rejected and he died, still incarcerated in Broadmoor, in June 1900. | ||
Robert Southey | ||
MP for Downton Jun‑Dec 1826 | ||
The following note was written by my friend Paul Buttle and is included in his extremely interesting book Rotten Rides; An Exploration of England's Rotten Boroughs and is here reproduced with his kind permission. | ||
Over the centuries several persons have doubtlessly been surprised to find themselves elected to Parliament but none more so, surely, than Robert Southey when he was elected to represent Downton in 1826. Southey could have had no expectation of being elected as he had never sought to enter Parliament. | ||
As well as being Poet Laureate, Southey was a prolific writer generally. One of the books he wrote was called "The Book of the Church" [1824], a history of the Church of England. The work expressed Southey's opposition to Catholicism - sentiments which greatly pleased Jacob Pleydell-Bouverie, 2nd Earl of Radnor. Although he had never met Southey, or had any contact with him, Radnor decided that Southey was just the sort of man who should be in Parliament and therefore had him elected to represent Downton. | ||
Southey was not even in England at the time of his election, but travelling in the Low Countries. He, therefore, first learnt of his election when he was in Brussels. When he returned to London he found an anonymous letter from Radnor awaiting him which told him "A zealous admirer of the British Constitution in Church and State" had read his book, agreed with it and thought its author should have a seat in Parliament, and, "having a little interest," the writer had secured Southey that seat. Although the letter was anonymous the handwriting was recognised by a friend of Southey's to be that of Radnor. | ||
Southey, however, had no wish to be a Member of Parliament, and was pleased he had a ready justification for refusing his seat. At that time in Parliament's history to qualify to sit in Parliament a borough MP had to be in possession of a landed estate that produced an income of £300 a year (in the case of a county MP the amount was £600). Southey did not possess such an estate. Astonishingly, when Southey explained his ineligibility to sit in the House of Commons active consideration was given in Tory circles to provide him with an estate that would enable him to qualify. Southey made it clear, however, that even this offer would not induce him to be an MP. | ||
