			Sir Walter Blunt 5th baronet
			According to the London 'Morning Post' of 17 July 1847, "this youthful Baronet expired
			unexpectedly on Tuesday last at his seat, Heathfield, Sussex, aged but twenty-one. The
			circumstances connected with his death are of a nature somewhat painful. It appears that
			about twelve months since a fatal complaint manifested itself in his frame, but no immediate
			danger was apprehended up to Monday last, when, while driving in his park, the horses became
			rather restive and plunged somewhat hastily. The shock which was occasioned had the effect
			of breaking an abscess which had formed under the heart. He was immediately conveyed to the
			mansion, where death ensued next morning."
			Sir Alexander Boswell, 1st baronet
			Alexander was the son of James Boswell, the biographer of Dr. Johnson. He found his own
			fame as an antiquary and song-writer. Alexander died as a result of a duel on 27 March
			1822. The following account of the duel, and the events which led up to it, are taken from
			the "Glasgow Herald" of 29 March 1822:-
			'It is with the deepest regret we state, that a meeting took place on Tuesday morning,
			about ten o'clock, at Auchtertoul, near Balmuto, in Fife, betwixt Sir Alexander Boswell,
			Bart., of Auchinleck, and James Stuart, Esq., younger of Dunearn; which ended in Sir
			Alexander being dangerously wounded. The ball, we understand, entered a little below
			the shoulder, and, taking a slanting direction upwards, lodged in the body of the
			unfortunate gentleman. The seconds were, John Douglas, Esq., brother to the Marquis
			of Queensberry, to Sir Alexander Boswell, and the Earl of Rosslyn to Mr. Stuart. Sir
			Alexander, immediately after the encounter, was conveyed to the house of his relative,
			Lord Balmuto, and received the prompt assistance of Professor John Thomson of this
			city. Lady Boswell, the anguish of whose feelings our readers may well conceive, is in
			constant attendance upon her husband. Mr. Stuart and Lord Rosslyn have since passed
			through Edinburgh for England. Without alluding in particular to the various rumours in
			circulation, we believe we may state, that this unfortunate occurrence had its origin in
			the transaction connected with the affairs of the Glasgow Sentinel, to which we lately
			referred. Our readers are not to be informed, that Mr. Stuart had brought an action
			against the printers and publishers of that journal, on account of certain strictures
			which he conceived to be injurious to his character. It appears that, soon after, some
			change took place in the partnership of the printers of the Sentinel, in consequence of
			which one individual withdrew or was thrown out from the concern. That person having
			been incarcerated for debt, wrote to Mr. Stuart, offering, upon certain conditions which
			he stated, to put him into possession of some important information. Mr. Stuart
			immediately proceeded to Glasgow; and the person in question obtained his liberation in
			consequence of the sum for which he was imprisoned being deposited in the hands of
			the jailor, by some friend, it is presumed, of Mr. Stuart. We are farther informed, that Mr.
			Stuart, along with several of his friends, waited at an inn in Glasgow the arrival of this
			person, who brought with him a bundle of papers. These papers Mr. Stuart refused to
			receive, but required to be put in possession of the original manuscripts of those
			articles which reflected upon himself, particularly of that one which was made the
			foundation of the prosecution. These were accordingly selected from the parcel, and
			delivered up to Mr. Stuart, who gave a receipt for them, and a letter discharging his
			action. A precognition into the circumstances of the transaction was commenced
			before the Sheriff of Edinburgh; and on Monday se'nnight, we believe, Mr. Stuart
			underwent a long examination. The papers given to Mr. Stuart, or one or more of them,
			having been found to have been in the handwriting of Sir Alexander Boswell, or to have
			been transmitted by him to the Sentinel, led, we understand, to a correspondence,
			which terminated in the melancholy result we have stated. The parties had been
			previously bound over by the Sheriff of Edinburgh to keep the peace; in consequence of
			which they proceeded to the neighbouring county of Fife. We forbear at present from
			making any remark on this unpleasant subject; but we may be allowed to express our
			satisfaction, that no blame whatever attaches to those in the present management of
			the Glasgow Sentinel.
			'Since writing the above, we find that intelligence has been received of the death of
			Sir Alexander, yesterday at three o'clock.'
			It is apparent, therefore, that James Stuart had been subjected to a number of anonymous
			attacks (which took the form of songs) that had been published in the Glasgow Sentinel,
			and that Stuart had believed that the author of such attacks was Sir Alexander Boswell,
			under the pseudonym "Ignotus." At his subsequent trial for murder held on 10 June 1822,
			Stuart was found not guilty. A complete account of the duel, the subsequent trial and
			copies of the offending songs can be found in Google books by searching on the phrase
			"Trial of James Stuart".
			Sir Francis Boughey, 8th baronet  [GB 1798]
			Sir Francis committed suicide in March 1927. The "Manchester Guardian" of 9 March 1927
			reported the result of the subsequent inquest:-
			'An inquest on Sir Francis Boughey, of Aqualate Park, Newport, Salop, who was found early
			on Monday morning hanging in an outhouse at the hall, was held by the Stafford Coroner
			yesterday, when a verdict of suicide during temporary insanity was returned.
			'Sir Francis, after attending church on Sunday, left his home informing the footman he would
			be back for tea. When he failed to return a search was organised in the woods, which proved
			fruitless. Early the following morning his nephew found him hanging from a hook attached to
			a windlass. His legs were strapped together.
			'The nephew stated that his uncle, who was 78 years old, was highly strung, and had had a
			tremendous strain upon him lately because his agent and many workmen were ill.'
			Sir Theodosius Edward Allesley Boughton, 7th baronet
			In around 1776, Anna, Lady Boughton, widow of the 6th baronet, and her daughter,
			Theodosia, visited Bath, but on arriving, they found that every bed in every inn was
			already occupied and it looked as though they would be reduced to sleeping on chairs.
			One of the other guests at the inn, a man named John Donellan, made the gallant gesture
			of giving up his own room for the ladies. In return, the ladies invited Donellan to breakfast
			with them the next morning and the friendship ripened until, in June 1777, Donellan married
			Theodosia.
			Donellan was born around 1737, the son of an army officer. He too joined the army and
			his regiment was sent to India in 1754. When it came time for his regiment to return home,
			Donellan stayed in India, where he distinguished himself in the taking of Mazulapatam. Being
			appointed one of the agents for prize-money, he was accused of accepting corrupt gifts
			from some Indian merchants and was tried by a court martial and cashiered.
			On 30 March 1781, Donellan was tried at the Warwick Assizes for the murder by poisoning
			of his brother in law, Sir Theodosius Boughton, 7th baronet.
			The following is the report of the case from the Newgate Calendar:-
			'Mr Powell, apothecary of Rugby, deposed that on Wednesday morning, the 27th of February,
			hen was sent for to Lawton Hall, and on his arrival there, at a little before 9 o'clock, Captain
			Donellan conducted him to the apartment of Sir Theodosius. On entering, he perceived that
			the baronet was dead; and on examining the body he concluded that it was about an hour
			since life had fled. He had some conversation with Captain Donellan with regard to the
			deceased, and he was told by him that he had 'died in convulsions.'
			'Lady Boughton, the mother of the deceased, deposed that Sir Theodosius was twenty years
			old….. On his coming of age he would have been entitled to above £2,000 a year, and in the
			event of his dying a minor the greater part of his fortune was to descend to his sister, the
			wife of Mr Donellan. It was known in his family on the evening of Tuesday, the 26th that Sir
			Theodosius was to take his physic the next morning. He used to put his physic in the
			dressing-room. He happened once to omit to take it; upon which Mr Donellan said, 'Why
			don’t you set it in your outer room? - then you would not so soon forget it.' After this he
			several times put the medicines upon his shelf over the chimney-piece in his outer room.
			On the evening of Tuesday, the 26th, about 6 o'clock, Sir Theodosius went out fishing
			attended only by one servant, Samuel Frost. Witness and Mrs Donellan took a walk in the
			garden, and were there over an hour. To the best of her recollection she had seen nothing
			of Mr Donellan after dinner till about 7 o'clock, when he came out of the house door in the
			garden, and told them that he had been to see them fishing, and that he would have
			persuaded Sir Theodosius to come in, lest he should take cold, but he could not. Sir
			Theodosius came home a little after nine, apparently very well; he went up into his own
			room soon after, and then to bed. He requested her to call him the next morning and give
			him his physic. She accordingly went into his room about 7 in the morning, when he
			appeared to be very well. She asked him where the bottle was, and he said, 'It stands
			there upon the shelf.' He desired her to read the label, which she accordingly did, and
			found there was written upon it: 'Purging draught for Sir Theodosius Boughton.' As he was
			taking it he observed that it smelled and tasted very nauseous; upon which she said, 'I
			think it smells very strongly like bitter almonds.' He then remarked that he thought he
			should not be able to keep the medicine upon his stomach.
			'Here a bottle was delivered to Lady Boughton containing the genuine draught, which she
			was desired to smell, and inform the Court whether it smelled like the medicine Sir
			Theodosius took. She answered in the negative. She was then desired to smell another
			containing the draught, with the addition of laurel-water, which she said had a smell very
			much like that of the medicine she gave to Sir Theodosius. Lady Boughton then proceeded
			with her evidence. Two minutes after Sir Theodosius had taken the draught he struggled
			very much. It appeared to her as if it was to keep the draught down. He made a prodigious
			rattling in his stomach, and guggling; and these symptoms continued about ten minutes.
			He then seemed as if he were going to sleep, or inclined to doze; and, perceiving him a
			little composed, she went out of the room. She returned in about five minutes, and to her
			great surprise found him with his eyes fixed upwards, his teeth clenched, and foam running
			out of his mouth. She instantly desired a servant to take the first horse he could get and
			go for Mr Powell.
			'She saw Mr Donellan less than five minutes after. He came into the room where Sir
			Theodosius lay, and said to her: 'What do you want?' She answered that she wanted to
			inform that a terrible thing had happened; that it was an unaccountable thing in the doctor
			to send such medicine, for if it had been taken by a dog it would have killed it; and she did
			not think her son would live. He inquired in what way Sir Theodosius then was. When told,
			he asked her where the physic bottle was; on which she showed him two draughts; when
			he took up one of the bottles and said, 'Is this it?' she answered, 'Yes.' He then rinsed it,
			and emptied it into some dirty water that was in a wash hand-basin; and on his doing so she
			said, ''What are you at? You should not meddle with the bottles.'  Upon that he snatched
			up the other bottle and rinsed it, and then he put his finger to it and tasted it. She
			repeated that he ought not to meddle with the bottles; upon which he replied that he did it
			to taste it. Two servants, named Sarah Blundell and Catherine Amos, afterwards came into
			the room and he desired the former to take away the basin and the bottles, and he put the
			bottles into her hands. The witness, however, took the bottles from her and set them down,
			bidding her not to touch them; and the prisoner then desired that the room might be
			cleaned, and the dirty clothes thrown into the inner room. This being done, the witness
			turned her back for a moment on which the prisoner again handed the servant the bottles,
			and bade her take them away, and she accordingly removed them.
			'Witness soon afterwards went into the parlour, where she found Mr and Mrs Donellan; and
			the former told his wife that her mother had been pleased to take notice of his washing the
			bottles, and that he did not know what he should have done if he had not thought of saying
			that he had put the water into them to put his finger to it to taste.
			'Dr Rattray, of Coventry, described the external appearances of the body, and its
			appearances in the dissecting. He was asked whether, as he had heard the evidence of Mr
			Powell and Lady Boughton, he could, from that evidence, totally independent of the
			appearances he had described, form a judgment as to the cause of the death of Sir
			Theodosius. He answered that, exclusive of these appearances, he was of [the] opinion,
			from the symptoms that followed the taking of the draught, that it was poison, and the
			certain cause of his death. Being desired to smell the bottle, and asked what was the
			noxious medicine in it, he said it was a distillation of laurel leaves, called laurel-water. Here
			he entered into a detail of several experiments on animals, tending to show the
			instantaneous and mortal effects of the laurel-water. He knew nothing in medicine that
			corresponded in smell with that mixture, which was like that of bitter almonds. He further
			said that the quantity of laurel-water contained in the bottle shown to him was sufficient
			to cause the death of any human creature; and that the appearance of the body confirmed
			him in his opinion that the deceased was poisoned, so far as, upon viewing a body so long
			after the death of the subject, one could be allowed to form a judgment upon such
			appearances.
			'Mr Wilmer and Dr Parsons, professor of anatomy at Oxford, confirmed the evidence of Dr
			Rattray.
			'John Darbyshire deposed that he had been a prisoner in Warwick jail for debt, and that Mr
			Donellan and he had had a bed in the same room for a month or five weeks. He remembered
			to have had a conversation with him about Sir Theodosius being poisoned. On his asking
			him whether the body was poisoned or not, he said there was no doubt of it. The witness
			said, 'For God's sake, Captain, who could do it?' He answered that it was amongst
			themselves; he had no hand in it. The witness asked whom he meant by themselves. He
			said, 'Sir Theodosius himself, Lady Boughton, the footman and the apothecary.' The
			witness replied, 'Sure, Sir Theodosius could not do it himself!' He said he did not think he
			did - he could not believe he would. The witness answered: 'The apothecary could hardly
			do it - he would lose a good patient; the footman could have no interest in it; and it is
			unnatural to suppose that Lady Boughton would do it.' The Captain said how covetous Lady
			Boughton was; she had received an anonymous letter the day after sir Theodosius' death
			charging her plump with poisoning him; that she called him and read it to him, and trembled.
			She desired he would not let his wife know of that letter, and asked him if he would give up
			his right to the personal estate, and to some estates of about £200 a year belonging to the
			family. The conversation was about a month after the Captain came into the jail. At other
			times he said it was impossible he could do a thing that never was in his power.
			'This being the chief evidence, the prisoner, in his defence, pleaded a total ignorance of the
			fact, and several respectable characters bore testimony to his integrity. The jury, however,
			found him guilty, and he received sentence of death.
			'At 7 o'clock on the next day, the 2nd of April 1781, he was carried to the place of execution
			at Warwick, in a mourning-coach, followed by a hearse and the sheriff officers in deep
			mourning. As he went on he frequently put his head out of the coach, desiring the prayers
			of the people around him.
			'On his arrival at the fatal spot he alighted from the coach and, ascending a few steps of
			the ladder, prayed for a considerable time, and then joined in the usual service with the
			greatest appearance of devotion; he next, in an audible tone of voice, addressed the
			spectators to this effect: that he was then going to appear before God, to Whom all deceit
			was known; he solemnly declared that he was innocent of the crime for which he was to
			suffer; that he had drawn up a vindication of himself, which he hoped the world would
			believe, for it was of more consequence to him to speak truth than falsehood, and he had
			no doubt but that time would reveal the many mysteries that had arisen in his trial.
			'After praying fervently [for] some time he let his handkerchief fall - a signal agreed upon
			between him and the executioner - and was launched into eternity. When the body had
			hung the usual time it was put into a black coffin and conveyed to the town hall to be
			dissected.'
			Sir John Edward Mortimer Bowen, 3rd baronet
			Sir John was killed during a motor race in August 1939. The following report on the subsequent
			inquest appeared in 'The Scotsman' on 22 August:-
			'The Briton's preference for sport with an element of danger attached to it was referred to by
			the North Leicestershire Coroner (Mr. H.J. Deane) at the inquest yesterday on Sir John Edward
			Mortimer Bowen, Bart., aged 21, of Langham Street, London, who was killed at Donington Park
			race track, Leicestershire, on August 12.
			'A verdict of accidental death was returned.
			'Sir John was hurled from his car when travelling down the straight of the inner circuit in a
			handicap race promoted by the Vintage Car Club.
			'The Coroner said: "The car must have been travelling at a terrific speed, but he was indulging
			in a race, and you would not wish me to say anything to check anyone's sporting liberties, even
			if those liberties involve an element of danger. It is often that element of danger which attracts
			the Briton indulging in sport. This young man took his pleasure in motor racing, set apart and
			specially made for the indulgence of that sport."
			Sir William Bowyer-Smijth, 11th baronet
			In December 1917, the Scottish Courts heard an action brought by seven children of the
			11th baronet who sought a declaration that they were the lawful children, according to
			Scottish law, of that baronet. The following edited article appeared in the Melbourne
			'Argus' of 8 February 1918:-
			'A remarkable story was related in the Edinburgh Court of Sessions yesterday [i.e. 5
			December 1917] (states the London 'Daily Telegraph' of December 6) when William Baird
			Bowyer Smith, of Melbourne, and six others sought a declarator of legitimacy in an action
			against Lady Eliza Fechnie Malcolm, or Bowyer-Smijth, and two others. Pursuers state that
			Lady Bowyer-Smijth, when just over 16 became attached to an English gentleman at Blair
			Athol whom she knew as Mr. William Smijth, but who she subsequently learned was Sir
			William Bowyer-Smijth, Bart. He represented that he was unmarried, and gaining her aunt's
			permission to their marriage, he took her for a drive one day, and producing a ring put it
			on her finger, saying, "With this ring I thee wed," after which he assured her she was his
			lawful wife. She had no reason to doubt the validity of the marriage for many years, and
			they lived together in London and abroad until 1873. Twelve children were born. Sir William
			having some years before this admitted that he had been previously married and had three
			children, but representing himself [to be] a widower, she believed this until 1873, when she
			learned that Sir William's wife was still alive. Then on receiving his promise to marry her if he
			became free she consented to continue living with him as his wife.
			'Lady Marianne Frances Meux, whom Sir William had married in [2 April] 1839, died in March
			1875 and about a week later Sir William married Lady Eliza Fechnie Malcolm, or Bowyer-
			Smijth, who is called as one of the defenders. Two children were born after the marriage,
			and Sir William died in 1883. Lady Bowyer-Smijth subsequently married William Herbert
			Stanford, a lieutenant in the army, but had been separated from him for some time.
			Pursuers only recently became acquainted with the facts on which they base their present
			action. They were advised that, not having been born in wedlock, they were not entitled
			to claim real estate dignities in England, and they desire to have their legitimacy declared
			according to Scottish law. The sole defenders are two children born after the 1875
			marriage, Lady Bowyer-Smijth not having put in defences.
			'Defenders claim that their parents were not domiciled in Scotland at the time of the
			marriage, and had not lived there for 21 days as required. They claim that Sir William was a
			domiciled Englishman, to whom English law must apply, and they aver that Lady Smijth knew
			in 1859 that Sir William had a wife still living. They further claim that the Scottish Court has
			no jurisdiction. The record was closed, and the case sent to the procedure roll.
			'The Edinburgh Court of Sessions on Wednesday [6 February 1918] gave judgment for the
			plaintiffs…………'
			The judgment had the effect of declaring the 12 children born of the 1875 marriage to be
			legitimate, although such judgment had no effect upon the inability of any of such children
			to inherit the baronetcy.
			Sir Alleyne Alfred Boxall, 1st baronet  [UK 1919]
			Boxall was the personal solicitor to Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh and, after 1893, Duke of Saxe-
			Coburg and Gotha. According to a letter in the National Archives, addressed to [Sir] Sidney
			West Harris at the Home Office, and written by Lord Stamfordham, Private Secretary to King
			George V, dated 14 June 1919, "in the year 1900 he [Boxall] was employed by the Duke of
			Coburg (Duke of Edinburgh) to negotiate the settlement of His Royal Highness' very serious
			financial embarrassments and for which I believe he received little or no recognition. It was
			suggested that he should be given a knighthood, but Lord Salisbury, Prime Minister, deemed
			it inadvisable in the circumstances of the case that this should be done, and in consequence
			Mr. Boxall was created a Baron of Coburg with special authority from Queen Victoria [in a
			warrant dated 17 October 1900] to assume that title in England.
			"Baron Boxall never had any connection with Germany or with German affairs, and his services
			to the Duke of Coburg were performed solely in this country.
			'In 1915 he raised the question of his position of holding a Barony of Coburg which had become
			an enemy's country, and it was suggested by his friends that perhaps the King might substitute
			some other honour and allow him to drop his present title for, as he truly said, he felt sure that
			neither Queen Victoria nor Lord Salisbury could have any conception what the result of this
			title would be to him and his family.
			'His Majesty now thinks that it might be well to give the holders of licences the opportunity of
			dropping them voluntarily, but in the case of Baron Boxall will ask the Prime Minister to
			recommend him for a Knighthood after a certain time has elapsed from the date of his ceasing
			to be styled Baron Boxall."
			In the event, Boxall was granted a baronetcy in September 1919 [Edinburgh Gazette dated 12
			September 1919, issue 13499, page 3074].
			On 5 March 1920, the following notice appeared in the Edinburgh Gazette, issue 13570, pages
			573 and 574:-
			"Whereas the persons named in the Schedule hereunto annexed are severally possessed of the
			foreign titles of nobility set forth in the second column of the said Schedule:
			"And whereas by Warrants under the Royal Sign Manual respectively tearing the date as set
			forth in the third column of the said Schedule the said persons have received licence and
			authority to bear and use the said foreign titles of nobility in this Country:
			"And whereas the said persons have expressed to Us their desire to relinquish the rights and
			privileges granted to them under the respective Warrants above-mentioned, in consideration of
			the fact that the said foreign titles of nobility appertain to Countries now or recently at war
			with Us, and were originally granted and conferred by the Sovereigns of such Countries:
			"Now, therefore, We, being desirous of acceding to the request of the said applicants, do by
			these Presents revoke and determine the Warrants set forth in the said Schedule.
			"Our Will and Pleasure therefore is that you Sir Edmund Bernard Talbot (commonly called Lord
			Edmund Bernard Talbot) Deputy to Our said Earl Marshal to whom the cognizance of matters of
			this nature doth properly belong do require and command that this Our Warrant be registered in
			Our College of Arms to the end that Our Officers of Arms and all others upon occasion may take
			full notice and have knowledge thereof."
			Then follows the Schedule referred to above, which includes, inter alia, the name of Alleyne
			Alfred Boxall, Baron of Saxe Coburg and Gotha.
			Boxall died in May 1927, his death being the subject of a subsequent inquest, as reported in
			"The Scotsman" on 9 May 1927:-
			'The death, during an operation for appendicitis, of Sir Alleyne Alfred Boxall, Bart., (71), a
			solicitor, of Cambridge Square, Hyde Park, London, was the subject of an inquest at Marylebone
			on Saturday. It was stated that Sir Alleyne showed signs of collapse a quarter of an hour after
			the operation began, and he died on the operating table. Dr R.M. Bronte, pathologist, said the
			operation was absolutely essential to try to save Sir Alleyne's life. Death was due to shock from
			a surgical operation, and was accelerated by the anaesthetic. A verdict of "Death by
			misadventure" was recorded by the Coroner.'
