Edward Marjoribanks
MP for Eastbourne 1929‑1932
Marjoribanks (pronounced "Marchbanks") was the son of Archibald John Marjoribanks and Elizabeth Brown, who were married in 1897. After the death of Archibald, Elizabeth married her first cousin, Douglas McGarel Hogg, who was later created Viscount Hailsham, and who was the father of Quintin Hogg, Baron Hailsham of St. Marylebone and a major political figure during the second half of the twentieth century. As a result, Edward Marjoribanks was Quintin Hogg's half-brother.
Marjoribanks was elected to the House of Commons for the seat of Eastbourne at the general election in May 1929 in the interest of the Conservative Party, and remained the member until his death in April 1932. The following report of his death appeared in the Manchester Guardian of 4 April 1932:-
We regret to announce the death, under tragic circumstances, of Mr. Edward Marjoribanks, M.P., one of the most promising of the younger Conservatives. Mr. Marjoribanks was found by his stepfather, Lord Hailsham (Secretary for War), shot dead in the billiard-room of the latter's house, Carter's Corner Place, near Hailsham, on Saturday night. Lord Hailsham, who was greatly distressed, sent at once for a doctor and the police.
Mr. Marjoribanks, who was 32 years of age, had recently been suffering from the effects of overwork, and particularly from insomnia.
Mr. Marjoribanks was found lying partly across a chair with a gunshot wound in his chest. Near the body was a double-barrelled sporting gun. Adjoining the billiard room is a small anteroom, which is used as a gun-room, and it is believed that it was here that the gun was discharged. Marks on the floor and walls indicate that Mr. Marjoribanks was standing in the gunroom when he received the wound.
He fell to the floor, but apparently, retaining consciousness, staggered or crawled through the open doorway into the billiard-room, collapsed across the chair, and died immediately. Only one barrel of the gun had been discharged. On the floor, it is understood, two live cartridges were found.
Mr. Marjoribanks was to have passed the weekend at Lord Hailsham's home before returning to Westminster for the resumption of the House of Commons sittings tomorrow. In addition to his duties at Westminster he had been engaged with unremitting energy on the completion of a life of Lord Carson which he was writing, and the strain had been obviously telling on him. He left London on Monday with Mr. Quintin McGarel Hogg (Lord Hailsham's son) to spend a quiet week-end in the country. While at Carter's Corner Place he had been passing the time quietly on the beautiful estate, which lies on a hill off the Battle-Lewes Road outside Hailsham. Mr. Marjoribanks had been seen about the house earlier in the day, and had taken meals with his stepfather.
Volume 1 of Marjoribanks's life of Lord Carson was published posthumously later that year, and was subsequently completed in two further volumes written by Ian Colvin in 1934 and 1936.
Although the above report only hints at it, there seems to be little doubt that Marjoribanks's death was not an accident, but rather as the result of suicide. One version of events has it that it was not overwork which caused the suicide, but the fact that he had been jilted by a woman.
George Osbaldeston
MP for East Retford 1812‑1818
The following biography of George Osbaldeston appeared in the Australian monthly magazine Parade in its issue for September 1971. It contains a number of errors, which I have done my best to correct:-
When Squire Osbaldeston, England's supreme sportsman, got the fox-hunting urge, he didn't do things by halves. Hunting with two dog packs - one for morning, the other for afternoon - he rode from Monday to Saturday, resting only on the Sabbath.
Then came one day in 1825 when the intrepid Osbaldeston's horse fell at a jump and Sir John Musgrave's mount, galloping at full pelt behind, tripped and crashed on to the squire's prone body. He suffered multiple fractures, but the most obvious break was in one leg. Through the torn flesh protruded the splintered end of the tibia. Blood overflowed from the injured man's riding boot. Surrounded by hastily summoned medicos, who were debating whether the shattered limb should be amputated, the squire mused to a pale-faced friend standing nearby: "You know," he said, "I'm so damned unlucky at this hunting. I'm thinking seriously of going out no more than a couple of times a week."
Actually the irrepressible squire didn't keep his word, for after 18 months in hospital he was back at his old trick of two-pack, six-day-a-week hunting. In between these hunting sprees, he took time out to prove he was still the country's greatest cricketer, tennis player, pistol shot, and, although an amateur, a bare-knuckle exponent who could hold his own with anyone but the immortal John Gully. He was also a top-flight sculler and wrestler, indeed a champion of champions.
But all these sporting activities cost money and Squire Osbaldeston was never a penny-pincher. Indeed, to sate his sporting appetite, he blew his fortune on it - about $8 million in modern [i.e. 1971] value.
George Osbaldeston, the sporting phenomenon of the 19th century, was born in Yorkshire in 1787 [sic - actually 26 Dec 1786] the son of a wealthy landowner. When the boy was six his father [MP for Scarborough 1784-1790] died, leaving him the "squire" title and the ownership of 20,000 valuable acres complete with tenants. Young George went to Eton [from whence he was expelled] and Oxford without distinction. Later his mother insisted he entered Parliament, but sheer boredom drove him out and he took a post as High Sheriff of the York Assizes.
By now Osbaldeston had made a name for himself as one of the most colourful of the wealthy and noble breed of sporting blades. He laid bets in thousands of pounds, drank his half-dozen bottles of claret nightly - and astounded fans with his cricket prowess. Not only could he bowl a ball right across Lords, but his speed deliveries so terrified players on the receiving end that pads were used by batsmen for the first time. In one game, when Osbaldeston as a batsman was smashing the bowlers all over the ground, he was unexpectedly caught by a farmer, Peter Bramley, who executed a brilliant catch. So delighted was Osbaldeston by young Bramley's amazing feat that he presented the farmer with one of the tall white hats he invariably wore.
Not long after this game Bramley was caught poaching by a gamekeeper, but when the culprit said his name was Squire George Osbaldeston and showed the gamekeeper the name written in the hat's lining, all was forgiven. To ease the gamekeeper's discomfort, Bramley invited the man to share a meal with him at the George Inn. Both ate the best fare on the menu and the host then directed that the bill be sent to Squire Osbaldeston.
Osbaldeston never seemed to lose his cricketing skill. Indeed, at 60, he was still able to score 66 for Kent against Surrey and then skittle eight wickets for 22. As a tennis player there was no one in England to match him. In fact, when the mighty French champion, Louis Barre toured, Osbaldeston was the only man in the country to defeat the visitor. Later, he beat the Frenchman again, this time using a large glove against Barre's racquet. As a rifle and pistol shot, Osbaldeston was supreme, once bringing down 98 pheasants with 100 shots and then going on to collect 16 snipe with 16 shots.
Osbaldeston was only 19 when, in the field of fox-hunting, he challenged England's top cross-country horseman, Dick Christian [1779-1862], to a race over a dangerous four-mile course in Derbyshire. The wager was 1000 guineas. Osbaldeston collected the debt by practically riding Christian into the ground. He then calmly returned to his six-day-a-week fox-hunting stint. On the very day he was released from hospital after a spell of 18 months on his back allowing shattered bones to mend after another rider's horse fell on him, Osbaldeston was back in the saddle.
In 1831, when the squire was 45, he was one of a group of sporting blades in a London club when the conversation turned to a recent 190-mile ride from London to York in 10 hours. Osbaldeston scoffed at this feat and assured his companions that he could beat the time. General Charretie at once bet the sportsman 1,000 guineas he couldn't do it. When the rules of the ride were drawn up, it was agreed Osbaldeston must stop only to change horses, but he could use as many mounts as he wished. The squire decided to use his own hacks, as well as several racehorses owned by his friend John Gully. Not only did Gully lend his horses without charge, but he bet a fortune at 10-1 that Osbaldeston would break nine hours for 200 miles. At 7 am on November 5, 1831, Squire Osbaldeston set out on his epic ride. Just eight hours and 42 minutes later, he finished the course. [He did not ride from York to London, but around the Newmarket racecourse, using 28 horses.]
The squire was an equally brilliant coachman and a member of the Four-in-Hand Club which conducted races from London to Brighton for bets of more than 10,000 guineas. There was a time when another club member, Paul Methuen [later 1st Baron Methuen] laid Osbaldeston Brentford [other sources say Greenwich]. The driver of the regular coach was the notorious Hell-Fire Dick, a reinsman of England-wide fame. Not that Dick's reputation for speed deterred the squire. But, Methuen said, Osbaldeston must carry a substantial load and he must provide this ballast himself. Osbaldeston chose 20 heavily built guardsmen. By the time the soldiers were all aboard, the squire's coach was sitting heavily on its springs, and by the time the race was half over the guardsmen were wishing they had never come. Never had coach passengers been so terrified. With Osbaldeston whipping his horses to ever greater effort the coach bucked, swayed and skidded over the pot-holed roads, doing everything except capsize. Reaching Brentford at last, Osbaldeston saw his fear-stricken passengers stagger into an inn to steady their nerves. Just 20 minutes later Hell-Fire Dick came into view in a swirl of dust.
George Osbaldeston was also a champion sculler and once licked the famed waterman Tom Watson in a race on the Thames. It was a tragic day for Watson's supporters because they had laid out £20,000 on their man and saw the lot go by the huge margin of more than 100 yards.
As a pistol shot and duellist, the short, nuggety Osbaldeston probably had no peer in all England. Certainly he was better than the imperious turf tycoon, Lord George Bentinck. At Heaton Park races in September 1843 [although the Dictionary of National Biography and other reliable sources say 1831], Osbaldeston won a £400 bet from Bentinck, but after several months the nobleman still hadn't paid up. When, at Newmarket, Osbaldeston demanded he be paid the sum, Bentinck insultingly handed it over by counting out the money in single notes. The result was a demand from Osbaldeston, per medium of a messenger, for a duel or an apology. When his lordship sneeringly declined to be a party to such childishness and ordered the messenger to pass his comment on to his master, Osbaldeston exploded: "You go back and tell Lord George at once that I will pull his nose the first time we meet." Bentinck, to save his honour, agreed to the duel in Wormwood Scrubs, with his friend Colonel Anson as a biased umpire. Indeed, the colonel was so biased that he arranged with his friend to break the rhythm of the count to three to let Bentinck get off the first shot. Bentinck did just that - and missed. Osbaldeston then fired and blasted his opponent's hat off. Honour satisfied, the squire immediately left the field of battle.
Although the squire was a brilliant pugilist, he decided to back-pedal smartly when one day his friend John Gully suddenly lost his temper with him and jumped to his feet, fists raised. Osbaldeston forgot about his own fists and grabbed a poker instead, and that was when a friend intervened and restored peace. Actually, Osbaldeston was so good with his fists that, although an amateur, he had to find opponents in the professional ranks to give him a worthwhile match. Once, behind a London tavern, he took on the notorious brawler Dick Curtis, and in the 45th round hit his opponent with a mighty blow that laid him unconscious for almost half an hour. When Curtis came to, Osbaldeston gave him £100 because he had "put up a good scrap."
Wrestling was another of the amazing squire's sports, but like everything else he did, he plunged into the sport's finer points like a champion. In 1833 he won £200 from the Lancashire champion Hunter after pinning his opponent just two minutes after the bout began. The squire was also one of England's most sought-after prize-fight referees and controlled the Tom Cannon-Clem Ward battle in 1825 for the championship of England. In 1845 he officiated at the Bendigo-Gaunt set-to for the same title. Immediately he gave the fight to Bendigo, Gaunt supporters charged into the ring to get at the referee. But Osbaldeston, with the aid of a set of brass knuckles gave such a good account of himself that the mob turned and retreated.
As the squire's sporting skill was eroded by advancing years, so did gambling and unscrupulous estate managers make inroads into his fortune. He sold his estate, moved to London, married a widow and settled down to a peaceful old age. Squire George Osbaldeston, one of the most versatile sporting figures the world has known died at his St. John's Wood residence in London in 1866. He was 79.
Evan Frank Mottram Durbin
MP for Edmonton 1945‑1948
Evan Durbin drowned while rescuing one of his children from a heavy sea. The Times report below appeared on 4 September 1948.
Mr. Evan F. M. Durbin, Labour M.P. for Edmonton and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Works, was drowned yesterday while going to the assistance of one of his children in a heavy sea at Crackington Haven, near Bude [on the northern coast of Cornwall]. The accident occurred at about 11.30 a.m., half-an-hour before low water.
Mr. Durbin, who was on holiday with his wife and their three children, was on the beach at Strangles, near Crackington Haven, some 10 miles south of Bude. With them were friends, including Professor Thomas Humphrey Marshall, of the London School of Economics, and his wife. One of Mr. Durbin's children and another child were paddling in the water near some rocks. The beach at low water is very treacherous because the strong undercurrent creates deep pot-holes near the rocks.
Mr. Durbin saw that the children were in difficulties and went out to them. They appeared to be getting into deep water. He brought one of the children on to the beach, but by this time his daughter had been carried out a short distance from the rocks. He returned to her, brought her back to the rocks, and placed her in a position of safety.
Mrs. Durbin by this time had scrambled across the rocks and gone to the water's edge. While she was attending to her daughter Mr. Durbin was being carried out to sea by the strong receding undercurrent. By the time Mrs. Durbin had turned around to see how her husband was faring, he had disappeared.
The police at Stratton, near Bude, were informed and searched at low water, but did not succeed in recovering the body. They hoped to continue the search when the tide again receded before darkness fell, and if unsuccessful then, intended to search again this morning.
A number of similar drowning accidents have occurred at this spot.
Mr. Durbin, aged 42, was appointed Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works in March last year [1947]. He was Parliamentary private secretary to the Chancellor of the Exchequer until his appointment as a Minister last year. In 1942 he was appointed personal assistant to Mr. Attlee, then deputy Prime Minister. He was the son of a Baptist minister and started his education at an elementary school in Devon. Scholarships took him through secondary and public schools to Oxford and later, until 1947, he was a lecturer in economics at London University. He was Parliamentary Labour candidate at East Grinstead in 1931 and at Gillingham, Kent in 1935 …
A further report in The Times of 16 September states that the body of a man, thought to be Evan Durbin, had been recovered by the police at Strangles Beach on the previous day.
