	Sir Henry Arthur Dalrymple Dalrymple-White, 2nd baronet [UK 1926]
	Sir Henry, a District Officer in Kenya, appears to have had a spot of bother with two visiting English police officers in late 1954, as reported in The Daily Mail of 11 January 1955:-
	Sir Henry Dalrymple-White today described in court how he fought with broken bottles against two police inspectors who are said to have burst into his hut in the night. Sir Henry, 37-year-old District Officer in charge of a Kikuyu Home Guard unit at Giakanja, appeared in court with his face still scarred. Dr. Thomas Gillespie, who attended him after the fight, said that he would be permanently disfigured. He had had to put 15 stitches in Sir Henry's head.
	Chief Inspector Richard Crosby Kerry, of Southport, and Inspector Harvey Lewis, of Oldham, are charged with assaulting him. Sir Henry alleged that the fight was a sequel to a previous incident on November 28 [1954]. He said that on that occasion Kerry had maltreated a Mau Mau prisoner who had been brought into the post. "Kerry kicked him in the face," he said.
	And this was the story Sir Henry told of what happened after a police whist drive on December 13:- "At 1.45 that morning I was awakened by kicks on the door of my hut. I recognised Kerry's shouting abuse. Kerry burst into the hut. He endeavoured to strike me," alleged Sir Henry. "I grappled with him and we fell to the floor, still struggling. We rolled against the wall. I felt an empty bottle under my hand. I hit his head with it. The bottle broke. We were still struggling when I felt a hard blow on the back of my own head. This was from a bottle aimed by Lewis. At one point we stopped fighting and I tried to reason with Kerry. I seem to have said something which annoyed him, for he put his hand on his pistol. Lewis disarmed him, but also took my gun, remarking: 'It's a good clean fight,' or words to that effect. Outside the hut Kerry came at me again. I knocked him down. He got up, grabbed me and wrenched my shirt off. The fight lasted half an hour, till we were both exhausted."
	Superintendent Leslie Pridgeon said that two pages had been torn from the police station logbook which referred to incidents of the night. He alleged that entries had been re-written by Lewis to make it appear as if he and Kerry had been out on an anti-Mau Mau ambush.
	The Daily Mail of 25 January 1955 reported that:-
	Chief Inspector Richard Kerry of Southport, and Inspector Harvey Lewis, of Oldham were today fined £50 and £30 respectively at Nyeri for assaulting Sir Henry Dalrymple-White, 37-year old baronet with a broken bottle at a Kikuyu guard post. Both men pleaded guilty. The court ordered £30 and £20 of the fines to be paid to Sir Henry as "financial restitution".
	Sir Lionel Edward Hamilton Marmaduke Darell, 6th baronet [GB 1795]
	The London Telegraph reported on 1 June 1954 that "Col. Sir Lionel Darell, 6th baronet, died through a blood clot blocking an artery due to confinement in bed after being scalded when he accidentally turned on a hot-water tap in the bath, it was said at a Hammersmith inquest yesterday. A verdict of accidental death was recorded. He died at his daughter's home in Chelsea Square, Chelsea, aged 78."
	Sir Robert Davers, 5th baronet
	Sir Robert was killed by hostile Indians in June 1763. Some sources state that he was killed in a boat while crossing Lake Huron. The report below appeared in The London Evening Post of 15 September 1763. It is not for the squeamish …
	Extract from a letter from Niagara, July 31. Letters from Detroit of the 8th inst. inform us, that the Savages were more numerous than ever about that place; that the garrison were in high spirits, and had made a sortie, in which an Indian Chief and two others were killed; upon which the father of the Chief, took out Capt. Campbell, of the 60th regiment, whom they had some time before made prisoner, and after giving him time to pray, on condition he kneeled on the body of the slain Chief, they killed him, took out his heart, and eat it, reeking from his body, and then cut him to pieces. Sir Robert Davers they boiled and eat: And an officer that was taken at St. Dusky, who has since escaped, saw the skin of Lieut. Robertson's arms made into a tobacco pouch.
	Sir Hugh Halliday Trevor Dawson, 3rd baronet
	Sir Trevor committed suicide in February 1983. The following report on the subsequent inquest appeared in The Guardian of 24 March 1983:-
	Sir Trevor Dawson, a merchant banker known in racing circles and in the City as the Galloping Major, killed himself to beat a midnight deadline on £137,500 worth of insurance policies, an inquest jury decided yesterday.
	The inquest at Westminster Coroner's court was told that it was an attempt to provide for his wife and handicapped son by Sir Trevor, aged 51, who drank champagne before killing himself.
	His body was found on February 15, the day after, by his chauffeur, Mr Harold Munton. Sir Trevor was slumped in an armchair with a plastic bag over his head in the lounge of his flat in Belgravia, London.
	In a letter to his wife, Lady Caroline Dawson [sic], dated February 14, he wrote: "There was no other choice if you and Michael (his spastic son) were to have any security and independence. I love you and I will be with you always."
	Asked by the Westminster coroner, Dr Paul Knapman, what she thought was meant by "no other choice," she answered: "I understood him to mean kill himself, commit suicide, I suppose."
	Before the hearing began the jury was told by Dr Knapman that the case assumed rather more than "incidental importance." He added: "Large sums of money for insurance could hinge on the date which you decide Sir Trevor died."
	Reaching its verdict, the jury decided that Sir Trevor killed himself to beat the midnight deadline on the insurance policies.
	Lady Caroline, who separated from the baronet last year, was due to leave their cottage in Pewsey, near Marlborough, Wiltshire, at the end of this month, after Barclays Bank, which owns the premises, obtained a court order for repossession last November.
	"This was a real worry to him. He had hoped I would be able to keep my son and live at the cottage," Lady Caroline told the coroner.
	Until recently her 26-year-old son had been looked after by Sir Trevor's parents, but after their deaths he had nowhere to live, and for the last two weeks had been in a home.
	Sir Trevor's career in the City ended in 1981 when he was among a group investigated by the Director of Public Prosecutions over a Stock Exchange gamble.
	A pathologist, Professor Keith Simpson, said it was difficult to say whether Sir Trevor died on the evening of February 14, or in the early hours of the following day. The jury agreed on the former date after Miss Pamela Gleason, Sir Trevor's secretary, told the inquest that on February 11 he had asked her to look at the expiry date on one of his insurance policies. It was February 15.
	After the hearing Mr David Long, Sir Trevor's solicitor, said of the jury: "They have decided a date, and we are grateful for that. But it is not the end of the road, there won't be any more court action, but it is not the conclusion to this. The next step is to ask the insurance company for the money. The cottage is mortgaged to the bank, and it is impossible to say the amount Lady Caroline will get, possibly because of the debts."
	Sir Barry Denny, 2nd baronet
	Denny sat in the Irish House of Commons for County Kerry for a brief period in 1794. On 12 January 1794, he married Anne Morgell, daughter of Crosbie Morgell, member for Tralee in the Irish House of Commons between 1790 and 1794.
	On the death of the sitting member for County Kerry, John Blennerhasset, in July 1794, the resultant by-election was fought between John Gustavus Crosbie and Colonel Henry Herbert. The other sitting member for the seat was Sir Barry Denny, who apparently promised that he would not attempt to interfere in any way in the by-election. During the course of the by-election, however, Crosbie took grave offence at some real or imagined breach of Denny's neutrality, and as a result, he challenged Denny to a duel.
	According the a report in the Whitehall Evening Post of 25 October 1794, "on Saturday last a dispute arose between John Augustus [sic] Crosbie, Esq., one of the candidates for the county of Kerry, and Sir Barry Denny; it was agreed that they should go out the next day, and decide the matter; they accordingly met on Sunday at three o'clock in the afternoon, and immediately took their ground; they fired together, Mr. Crosbie's ball entered Sir Barry's head over the left eye, which killed him almost instantly …"
	Following Denny's death, Crosbie was returned for County Kerry, but three years later, while riding at night, he fell off his horse and was killed. Naturally, the superstitious local populace laid the blame for Crosbie's death at the feet of Sir Barry Denny's ghost.
	Denny's father-in-law, Crosbie Morgell, was a prominent and ambitious attorney who had hoped to use his son-in-law's influence to obtain preferment. Denny's death, however, crushed any such hopes. The story goes that during Denny's lifetime he had complete management of his son-in-law's estates, but lost such control on Denny's death. Three weeks after losing this control, Morgell committed suicide by filling his pockets with stones and drowning himself.
