Philip Christopher Clarke
MP for Fermanagh and South Tyrone 1955
Clarke was elected for Fermanagh and South Tyrone at the General Election held on 26 May 1955 by a majority of 261. However, at the time of his election, Clarke was in prison, having received a 10-year sentence for his part in an armed raid on Omagh Barracks on 17 October 1954. Also taking part in this raid was Thomas Mitchell, who was subsequently elected as MP for Mid Ulster at the 1955 General Election - see the note under this constituency.
In August 1955, the runner-up in the election petitioned for the unseating of Clarke, on the grounds that he was a convicted felon, who was serving a sentence greater than 12 months and therefore ineligible for election. On 2 September, the Court ruled that this was in fact the case and that the runner-up, Lord Robert George Grosvenor (later the Duke of Westminster) should have been returned as the elected member.
William Shipley
MP for Flint 1807‑1812 and St. Mawes 1812‑1813
From The Morning Chronicle of 20 December 1820:-
It is with much concern we announce the death of William Shipley, Esq., eldest son to the Very Reverend the Dean of St. Asaph, which took place at Hyeres, in the South of France, on the 29th of November last, under the following circumstances : - He was shooting, attended by a peasant of the place, who also carried a gun. Mr. Shipley had killed a bird, and was getting over a bank to pick it up, the man following with his gun cocked, it unfortunately went off within two or three yards of Mr. Shipley, and lodged its contents in the back of his head, which literally shattered it to pieces. He was in the 43d year of his age, and has left a widow and two children to lament his loss.
