Thomas Isaac Mardy Jones | ||||
MP for Pontypridd 1922‑1931 | ||||
Mardy Jones was the son of Thomas Isaac and Gwen Jones of Brynaman, Carmarthenshire. Notwithstanding that his father and both of his grandfathers were killed in coal-mining accidents, he began working in the mines at the age of 12, his wages supporting a family of six. | ||||
Mardy Jones later studied at Ruskin College, Oxford, where he majored in economics and modern history. He then became a 'missionary' for Ruskin College and succeeded in persuading the South Wales Miners' Federation to establish 10 scholarships. Returning to mining, he became a miner's agent and later became Parliamentary and Political Agent for the South Wales Miners' Federation. | ||||
In July 1922, Mardy Jones was elected as MP for Pontypridd. At the time of the events described in this note, the annual salary of a backbencher such as Mardy Jones was £360. In addition, MPs were eligible to receive vouchers which could be exchanged for rail tickets between London and their constituencies. These vouchers were not, however, transferable to anyone else. | ||||
In breach of this rule, Mardy Jones sent two tickets to his wife and 12-year-old daughter. On 19 December 1930, his wife and daughter boarded a first-class carriage of the Great Western Railway and set off for London, but when their tickets were checked by the railway's inspectors, one of the tickets was found to be out of date. The inspectors and the railway company showed no mercy and pressed charges against the unfortunate travellers. | ||||
On 5 February 1931, Mardy Jones resigned from the House of Commons. The next day, he pleaded guilty in court to transferring two non-transferable tickets to his wife and helping her to travel without paying for a fare. His wife pleaded guilty to receiving the ticket and intending to travel without paying the fare. Both defendants were fined £2 and Mardy Jones also had to pay 30 guineas in costs. | ||||
Although he stood at the subsequent General Election in October 1931, Mardy Jones was easily defeated. | ||||
Reginald Jaffray Lucas | ||||
MP for Portsmouth 1900‑1906 | ||||
Lucas was a well-known writer during his lifetime, probably best remembered for his work George II and his Ministers [Arthur Humphreys, London, 1910]. He also wrote a number of novels and biographies. He was the son of Sir Thomas Lucas, 1st baronet, and before entering parliament in 1900 was private secretary to Sir William Walrond, later Baron Waleran, and Aretas Akers‑Douglas, later Viscount Chilston. | ||||
After suffering from a very painful disease, Lucas committed suicide on 9 May 1914. The following report of the subsequent inquest is taken from the Adelaide [South Australia] Advertiser of 22 June 1914:- | ||||
Infinitely pathetic was the tragic fate of Mr. Reginald Jaffray Lucas, ex M.P. for Portsmouth from 1900 to 1906, who driven by pain to the limit of endurance last month, shot himself at his home at The Albany, Piccadilly, London. Distressing details of the affair were related at the inquest. Maria Felton, deceased's housekeeper, said that she went to Mr. Lucas' room in response to what she took to be a knocking noise. She spoke to him, but received no answer, and she then called the valet. Deceased said, "Take it away; it is done now" (referring to a revolver which he had in his hand). He also told witness to ring up the Eccentric Club, and send for his brother. Did he say anything about doing it quickly? - Yes; he said he thought it would be over sooner. Joseph Olden, the valet, said that after visiting his doctor in the morning deceased told him that his throat was very bad again, and he would require another operation. | ||||
After handing witness the revolver deceased said, "Don't be alarmed. Olden, at what I have done. I could not endure the pain any longer, send for the doctor". Witness did so, and afterwards found a note on a chair beside the bed. Dr. Montagu S. Monier-Williams, of Onslow Gardens, said he attended deceased for ten years for consumption. When witness was called to him after the shooting he [Lucas] said, "I am sorry to give you this trouble, doctor. I have shot myself four times through the chest. Why am I not dead? I expected to be by now. I am afraid I have made a bad job of it." | ||||
In summing up the coroner commented on the painful nature of the case. Deceased was suffering from tuberculosis of the throat, a very distressing malady, and the necessary surgical treatment would give rise to intense pain. He evidently came to the limit of endurance. | ||||
A letter which he wrote to his brother read as follows:- "My dear Frank - I have a malignant disease. A sanatorium cure to me would be intolerable. All that medical skill can do is at best a palliative. I have been suffering such pain and discomfort, and feel worn out. The future must be all pain and sickness, and I should be a burden to myself and a nuisance to everybody else. The best thing is to hasten the end. I trust in the mercy of Almighty God, who has blessed me so abundantly. I am sorry, very sorry, for my sisters, and the few others who will care. I am tired, and want rest. God bless you all." | ||||
The jury returned a verdict of "Suicide whilst of unsound mind." | ||||
Henry Hunt | ||||
MP for Preston 1830‑1832 | ||||
The following biography of Henry Hunt appeared in the January 1957 issue of the monthly Australian magazine Parade:- | ||||
"Food For Britain!" might well have been the cry of starving masses in England 130 years ago, when a loaf of bread cost 6d. and crazy taxation slashed wages to as low as 4d. a week. Factories were wrecked by distraught workers whose families starved while England's ports were jammed with grain awaiting export. Sporadic riots were ruthlessly crushed by the army, but shouts for "Reform!" took unison as popular unrest thrust to the fore such leaders as "Orator" Henry Hunt, the fearless Wiltshire boot polish manufacturer who dreamt of making Great Britain a republic. | ||||
A wealthy country gentleman, Hunt dressed the part except for the incongruous white beaver hat he invariably wore. It became such a familiar sight at political reform meetings that a white hat came to be the badge of an extreme radical, just as the blood-red "bonnet rouge" had been the symbol of the French revolutionaries a generation before. He had abandoned country life to become a manufacturer - a manufacturer of polishes - and in parks and commons throughout England vast crowds gathered as drums and trumpets heralded the arrival of a procession of "Hunt's Matchless Blacking" vans which generally served as a platform for the man whose forceful eloquence won him the popular nickname of "Orator". | ||||
Flaunting the green, white and red flag already chosen as the colours of the future "British Republic", the vehicles were draped with inflammatory banners summarising Hunt's invariable theme: lower taxation, universal suffrage, election by ballot, and - what was then an entirely novel cause - recognition of "women's rights", in property, education and politics, in none of which had they then any semblance of equality with men. Tall, beefy and commanding, Hunt needed no amplifiers to carry his stentorian voice to the farthest fringe of his packed audiences, as in a ceaseless spate of words and theatrical gestures, he would, as one biographer puts it, "thump it, and stump it and blow his own trumpet". | ||||
Left comfortably off by his father, quite apart from the sizeable income brought him by the polish to which his shining black top-boots paid unfailing tribute, Hunt flung his personal fortune into the fight to right injustices suffered by the common people. Son of a wealthy Wiltshire farmer, Hunt gained his radical ideas at Oxford, where he read for a degree after severe official action to check his waywardness led him to run away from Andover Grammar School. Leaving the University in 1789 when he was 16, Hunt rejected his parents' wish that he should take Holy orders, and was allotted portion of his father's property to farm. Frequent clashes with his father, who was a dyed-in-the-wool conservative, culminated in Hunt's leaving home five years later to go to sea aboard a Guinea slaver. Only his heartbroken mother's tearful entreaties induced him to return home. | ||||
At the age of 22 Hunt had the curious experience of falling in love by proxy. Intrigued by his father's description of the charms of a certain Miss Halcomb, pretty daughter of an innkeeper in a neighbouring town, Hunt became violently infatuated without even having seen her. Hoping a nuptial ball and chain would steady his headstrong son, Hunt's father arranged a hasty marriage. It lasted almost seven years, and yielded two sons and a daughter, but went on the rocks when Hunt eloped with a Mrs. Vince, wife of one of his closest friends. He lived with her for his remaining 33 years of life without attempting to legalise their union. | ||||
On his father's death in 1797 Hunt inherited the family estate and made a home there for his mistress. Napoleon was then beginning his triumphal marches through Europe, and with the possibility of an English invasion already being mooted, Hunt made his first public address. As a member of the Everley troop of yeomanry he urged his colleagues to volunteer for service outside the country instead of merely for home defence. It was an unpopular role, and when his appeal was rebuffed with a chorus of jeers he quit the force in disgust. | ||||
Shortly afterwards, a Colonel Lord Bruce, admiring his patriotic spirit, invited him to join the Marlborough volunteer cavalry unit. The colonel soon regretted his decision. Hunt proved a turbulent subordinate, and climaxed various acts of indiscipline by challenging his commanding officer to a duel. When summoned before a court-martial, Hunt failed to appear, and when subsequently ordered to apologise, he refused. As a consequence, he was dishonourably discharged from the service, fined £100, and gaoled for six weeks in King's Bench prison at the end of 1800. | ||||
During his brief imprisonment he studied the aims of the French revolutionaries and convinced himself that a republic was the only truly democratic form of government. On his release he became a compelling figure in local politics, and his reputation as a powerful speaker quickly made him sought after further afield. His hot temper combined with his radical views involved him in many violent scenes and several law-suits. He was gaoled for three months in 1810 for assaulting a gamekeeper who failed to see eye to eye with him on a question of politics. While in prison he strengthened his friendship with William Cobbett and another leading parliamentary reformer of the day, Sir Francis Burdett baronet, who were also in gaol because of political differences with the State. | ||||
Inspired by them he stood as a candidate for Bristol in the elections of 1812; but he was overwhelmingly defeated, and his appeal to have the election quashed on the grounds of bribery and intimidation was dismissed. However, his spectacular mass meetings began to draw huge crowds, and for one of his early London addresses he parked his flag-bedecked vans on Kennington Common. He chose a location significantly close to the spot where supporters of the "Pretender" had been executed in 1745 for opposing the same reigning family at which Hunt directed thinly-veiled strictures. Cavalrymen waited watchfully in the background with orders to shoot Hunt instead of firing into the crowd if a disturbance occurred. Fortunately for the orator, however, the meeting, while enthusiastic, was orderly. | ||||
In the following year the Prince Regent was hissed as he returned from opening Parliament, and a missile claimed to have been a bullet shattered two windows of his coach. To make matters worse, a small party of extremists left one of Hunt's meetings and murdered a gun-smith, and arming themselves from his stock, marched towards the Tower of London intent on capturing the armoury and seizing the Bank of England. Repressive measures followed, including the suppression of public assemblies. Cobbett was forced to flee to seek refuge in America, and military forces were detailed to Hunt's meetings to stop him mounting the platform. | ||||
After unsuccessfully contesting the seat of Westminster in 1818 Hunt transferred his activities to Manchester, where his refusal to stand during the playing of the National Anthem led to a riot. In the teeth of a newly-passed law banning meetings directed towards attaining reforms, Hunt planned a mammoth gathering for August 16, 1819. It was to be held at St. Peter's Field, Manchester, and workers and their families from surrounding suburbs and villages were to march to it by converging on the city in organised processions. In the interests of co-ordination, parties were drilled beforehand in the procedure to be followed in the march to the meeting-place - and the Government chose to regard this as a sign of sinister motives. Troops of the Manchester and Cheshire Yeomanry were drawn up behind the city magistrates near where the meeting was to be held, but made no attempt to interfere as 60,000 men, women and children gathered on the ground, "unarmed, in perfect order, with flags flying and drums beating". A few walking sticks carried by the aged and infirm were the nearest approach to weapons carried by the orderly crowd. | ||||
As soon as Hunt began to speak the magistrates ordered his arrest, and the soldiers spurred forward to obey. Had they behaved with discretion by allowing their horses to make their own way through the crowd there probably would have been no trouble; but they laid about with them with the flats of their swords and were soon blocked by a hostile mob. What single act began the [Peterloo] massacre has never been established, but the troops suddenly went berserk. With shouts of "Have at their flags", they rode among the jammed mass of people slashing and stabbing indiscriminately with their swords, cutting and trampling down anyone before them. Within 10 minutes the crowd had been dispersed, but the ground was dotted with a sorry tally of dead and wounded. Nine men and two women were killed outright, while 113 women and children were among some 600 who suffered grievous injuries. Hunt emerged unscathed, but his celebrated white hat bearing a cut - so he said - from a sword, became, at his later meetings, an even more stirring emblem than before. | ||||
Subsequently Hunt was arrested and confined for two-and-a-half years in Ilchester Gaol. But he could not be silenced even in gaol. His revelations of conditions there gave rise to an official inquiry that led, subsequently, to important prison reforms. When Hunt was released on October 30, 1822, a large party of admirers gathered at the gaol gates and presented him with an inscribed piece of plate. Alas for his subsequent fame, popular acclaim turned his head, and he became so intolerably obsessed with delusions of grandeur that one by one other reformers abandoned him. | ||||
Following an unsuccessful attempt to enter Parliament [as member for Somerset] four years after being freed, Hunt was elected for Preston in 1830 [at a by-election]. While in the House he remained constant to his earlier ideals, but concentrated on attacking the royal grants. Here he found ample ammunition to lay charges of wanton extravagance. For instance, a contemporary historian records that all meals served to the Marquis of Conyngham [sic] and his wife in their Hamilton Street House were taken there by coach in special hot boxes from the royal kitchens at St. James Palace. [At the time Conyngham was Constable and Governor of Windsor Castle]. In addition, the Conynghams' servants were given nominal tasks in the King's household so that their salaries could be paid out of the privy purse. Anti-royalists made no secret of their belief that these considerations were rewards for favours the Marchioness showed the lascivious king - favours of which her husband was said to be complacently aware. [There is no doubt that Lady Conyngham was George IV's last mistress.] | ||||
Failing to hold Preston in 1833, Hunt went into retirement, and two years afterwards died from a paralytic stroke on February 15 [1835]. He was buried at Parham, in the family vault of his mistress, Mrs. Vince, to whom he had been unswervingly faithful since their elopement at the turn of the century. | ||||
David John Mellor | ||||
MP for Putney 1979‑1997 | ||||
After a number of junior political posts, Mellor was appointed Minister for the Arts for a brief period in 1990. Later that year he became Chief Secretary to the Treasury and in 1992 he became Secretary of State for the Department of National Heritage (known as the 'Minister for Fun'). | ||||
Previously, in 1989, Mellor had attacked the popular press, calling for curbs on the 'sacred cow' of press freedom. This attack would later rebound upon him. | ||||
In 1992, The Sun published details of a liaison with Antonia de Sancha, a 31-year-old actress, for which she was paid £30,000. One source states that she had appeared in a film titled The Pieman, in which she played a one-legged prostitute who has sex with a pizza delivery man, but no such film is listed in the International Movie Database. Her affair with Mellor had been conducted in a rented furnished flat in West Kensington, where their conversations had been secretly recorded without Mellor's consent. The bug had been placed by de Sancha's landlord, and it was held that it was not illegal to bug your own property. | ||||
Although he survived in office after the publication of his affair, Fleet Street continued to dig up and disclose embarrassing details of Mellor's past. Evidence emerged that he enjoyed a free holiday in 1990 as the guest of a daughter of a Palestine Liberation Organisation official and that another holiday had been paid for by the ruler of Abu Dhabi. Having become an embarrassment to the Conservative Party, he was pressured to resign in September 1992. | ||||
In January 1996, the Sunday Mirror published a front-page story under the subtle and under-stated headline 'DAVID MELLOR'S FORMER MISTRESS IN LESBIAN LOVE ROMPS WITH DRUG FIEND'S GIRLFRIEND'. The story resulted from Miss de Sancha's attempt to revive her movie career. The article was illustrated with a suggestive photo of former model, Michelle Davies, girlfriend of a society drug dealer, who had been paid £4,000 by the paper to say that she had had a lesbian relationship with Miss de Sancha. In fact, they had met for the first time at the photo shoot. This incident gave rise to the perception that the tabloid press considered any stick good enough to beat David Mellor. | ||||
