| Sir Norman Dugald Ferrier Campbell, 13th baronet of Auchinbreck [NS 1628] | ||||||
| [NS 1628] | ||||||
| On the death of the 11th baronet in 1919, the newspapers of his country of residence of New | ||||||
| Zealand were almost unanimous in stating that he would be succeeded by his eldest son, also | ||||||
| named Charles Ralph Campbell. The exception was the Canterbury "Press" which informed its | ||||||
| readers that 'The late Sir Charles Ralph Campbell, Bart., will be succeeded by his second son, | ||||||
| Mr. Norman Dugald Ferrier Campbell, the eldest son, Major Charles Ralph Campbell, of the | ||||||
| Household Cavalry, who saw considerable service during the war, being now dead.' Needless | ||||||
| to say the report in "The Press" was incorrect, since the son, Charles Ralph Campbell, inherited | ||||||
| the title and held it until his death in 1948. | ||||||
| When the 12th baronet died in 1948, there was no doubt that his younger brother Norman was | ||||||
| the next heir to the baronetcy. But was he still alive, and, if so, where? This question was asked | ||||||
| by numerous New Zealand and Australian newspapers. A typical report in the Perth "West | ||||||
| Australian" on 21 April 1948 stated that 'Sir Norman Dugald Ferrier Campbell, who became heir to | ||||||
| an ancient Scottish baronetcy on the death in Britain of his brother, Sir Charles Ralph Campbell, | ||||||
| cannot be found. Sir Norman, who was a station owner in North Canterbury [a region of the South | ||||||
| Island of New Zealand, centring on Christchurch], was last seen on January 14, 1937, when he | ||||||
| left Christchurch with the manager of his station, saying that he was going to Rotorua. He was | ||||||
| then on bail pending trial in Christchurch on charges relating to indecency. The bail of £2,000 | ||||||
| was estreated [i.e. forfeited] on February 9, 1937, when he failed to appear in court, and a | ||||||
| warrant was issued for his arrest. Campbell has been reported as serving in the French Foreign | ||||||
| Legion and was subsequently reported to have been seen in Turkey and other countries, but he | ||||||
| has never been traced.' | ||||||
| Later intelligence on Sir Dugald's whereabouts can be found in the Melbourne "Herald" of 29 April | ||||||
| 1948:- | ||||||
| 'The New Zealander, Sir Norman Dugald Ferrier Campbell, who has become heir to an old Scottish | ||||||
| baronetcy, may be brought back to the Dominion from France to answer 11-yesr-old criminal | ||||||
| charges. | ||||||
| 'In 1937, Campbell absconded while on bail pending his trial on charges relating to indecency. He | ||||||
| disappeared from his home in Canterbury and was not heard of until it was found that he was | ||||||
| heir to a baronetcy. A report from London this week said that he was in Paris. | ||||||
| 'His sister…gave the information the New Zealand Police Commissioner said today. Campbell's | ||||||
| return would depend on whether he was in a country from which he could be extradited.' | ||||||
| We now return to 15 October 1936 when the Canterbury "Press" reported that Campbell had been | ||||||
| remanded by the Magistrate's Court upon a charge of committing an indecent assault on a male. | ||||||
| Campbell's arrest was described in a wide range of New Zealand papers, typical of which is the | ||||||
| report in the Canterbury "Press" of 29 October 1936:- | ||||||
| 'A struggle between the police and the driver of a moving motor-car and the subsequent arrest | ||||||
| of the driver on serious charges were described before Mr. E.C. Levvy, S[tipendiary] M[agistrate], | ||||||
| in the Magistrate's Court yesterday by Constable A.E. Dunn, when giving evidence on one of the | ||||||
| charges against Norman Dugald Ferrier Campbell. The constable said he struck on the face and | ||||||
| head by Campbell before he fought his way into the car, and forced Campbell to stop it. | ||||||
| 'The constable gave evidence of how, on October 13, he and Acting-Detective Burns followed | ||||||
| Campbell in the police car to Racecourse road. The two who were following left their car and | ||||||
| crept through the lupins, but when they were only a few feet away Campbell's car was driven off. | ||||||
| They again followed, this time to a track between the sandhills and the lupins off Beach road. | ||||||
| Again the police left their car and crept through the lupins, and again when they were a few feet | ||||||
| away the lights of the car were switched on and the vehicle moved off. | ||||||
| "Both Acting-Detective Burns and myself ran towards the car, and called 'Police here. Stop the | ||||||
| car.' " said the constable. "The accused did not stop, so I jumped on the running board. I asked | ||||||
| him to stop the car, and said we were from the Police Department. He made no reply, but struck | ||||||
| me on the face and head through the open window with his clenched fist. | ||||||
| "I tried to take the steering wheel and swerve the car into the sandhills, but every time I did this | ||||||
| he pulled my hand off the wheel," the constable continued. "I then opened the rear door and got | ||||||
| into the back of the car. I told him he may as well stop, but he would not do so. I then put my | ||||||
| arms around his face and pulled him back over the front seat of the car towards me, taking the | ||||||
| wheel at the same time, and steering the car towards the lupins. He then stopped the car. He | ||||||
| was still struggling, and tried to punch me from the front seat." | ||||||
| 'Acting-Detective Burns came up with the car, opened the front door, and pushed Campbell | ||||||
| away from the wheel, the constable then releasing his grip, said witness. Campbell began to | ||||||
| struggle with the acting-detective, but did not keep it up very long, and later drove to the | ||||||
| detective office, with Acting-Detective Burns, when he was arrested. | ||||||
| 'Campbell, who pleaded not guilty, was committed to the Supreme Court for trial on charges of | ||||||
| indecently assaulting a male and of committing an unnatural offence. Bail was allowed in £1,000, | ||||||
| with one surety of £1,000. | ||||||
| Campbell was due to be tried in the Supreme Court on 9 February 1937, but he failed to appear. | ||||||
| The report beneath was printed in the "Otago Daily Times" on the following day:- | ||||||
| 'Norman Dugald Ferrier Campbell was to have been tried in the Supreme Court today on charges | ||||||
| of committing indecent assault of a male and an unnatural offence. When his name was called | ||||||
| he did not appear, and Mr Justice Northcroft granted the application of the Crown Prosecutor, | ||||||
| Mr Donnelly, for the estreatment of his bail amounting to £2,000. | ||||||
| "A warrant has been issued for this man's arrest," said Mr Donnelly when the repeated calling of | ||||||
| Campbell's name by the court officials failed to bring any answer. | ||||||
| "Campbell was arrested on October 13," Mr Donnelly continued, "and he appeared in the Magis- | ||||||
| trate's Court the following day and was remanded to October 27. He was eventually committed | ||||||
| to the Supreme Court for trial, bail being allowed at £1,000, with a surety of £1,000. The | ||||||
| guarantor was L.V. Lawrence, of the firm J.W.K. Lawrence and Company. | ||||||
| "In allowing bail the magistrate stipulated that Campbell was not to leave the Cheviot district in | ||||||
| which he lived, but this was opposed by Campbell's counsel, and the magistrate then said that | ||||||
| Campbell could travel to Christchurch so that he could see his counsel, but he was not to remain | ||||||
| overnight. On January 14 it was reported to the bondsman that Campbell was missing. He had | ||||||
| left a letter with his manager saying that he had gone to Rotorua for a few days. A warrant was | ||||||
| issued for his arrest on January 15, but no trace of him has been found." | ||||||
| 'Applying for the estreatment of the bail and surety, Mr Donnelly submitted that the Crown was | ||||||
| entitled to it because it proposed to take all possible steps to bring Campbell back to trial.' | ||||||
| I have been unable find any information on whether Campbell ever returned to New Zealand. | ||||||
| Given the nature of the charges against him, I would think it extremely unlikely. I note that his | ||||||
| death was reported in the London "Daily Telegraph" on 24 January 1968 as having taken place | ||||||
| 'in the South of France.' | ||||||
| Sir Gilbert Edward Campbell, 3rd baronet, and Sir Claude Robert Campbell, | ||||||
| 4th baronet, both of Carrick Buoy, Donegal [1831] | ||||||
| As far as I am aware, Sir Gilbert's name first came into the public view in 1881, when the report | ||||||
| below appeared in the Dundee "Evening Telegraph" on 7 October 1881, amongst other papers:- | ||||||
| 'Sir Gilbert Edward Campbell, aged 44, was placed in the dock at Marylebone Police Court | ||||||
| yesterday charged with being an insane person and not being under proper control, and threat- | ||||||
| ening to commit suicide at the Langham Hotel. | ||||||
| 'Inspector Henry Moore stated that in consequence of a letter received from Mr. George Lewis, | ||||||
| solicitor, which had been sent to the Alliance Insurance Company, he went to the Langham Hotel | ||||||
| on Wednesday and saw the defendant in his room. The latter admitted writing the letter. It was | ||||||
| to the effect that if he did not receive a certain sum of money he would put an end to himself | ||||||
| on Thursday (yesterday). When asked if it was his intention to carry out the threat contained | ||||||
| in the letter, the defendant replied, "Yes; it is perfectly impossible for me to live. Had the Alliance | ||||||
| Company assisted me it would have prevented it. Witness searched the room and found four | ||||||
| letters addressed to different persons, ready to be sent off; and the accused said he intended | ||||||
| to post them. Witness also found a bottle marked "poison," and containing a liquid; and the | ||||||
| defendant, in answer to a question, said, "I occasionally take a drop or two for dysentery, but | ||||||
| that is what I am going to take. That quantity will send me off nice and quiet." | ||||||
| 'He was taken to Marylebone Lane Police Station, and the divisional surgeon was called to him. | ||||||
| In answer to other questions, he said his wife was at Rome and that he had no other friends. | ||||||
| He added that his home was at the Langham Hotel, and that he had no means. Dr. Spurgin, the | ||||||
| divisional surgeon, deposed that he had a long conversation with the defendant, who persisted | ||||||
| that he intended to kill himself, and said he had a pistol and would shoot himself. Witness's | ||||||
| opinion was not that he was insane, but, from his dogged and determined manner of asserting | ||||||
| that he would commit suicide that he ought not to be allowed to be at large. | ||||||
| 'The bottle found in his room contained very strong opium. The defendant, in answer to Mr. | ||||||
| Cooke [the magistrate], said that, having no possible means of subsistence, he would no loner | ||||||
| prolong his existence and expose himself to want of food and cold. He had no friends who would | ||||||
| do anything for him. Mr. Cooke adjourned the case to see if any friends would come forward. | ||||||
| 'Later in the day a lady attended the Court, and the Magistrate informed her that if it were | ||||||
| reported from the prison that the defendant was not insane, but was only in a state of | ||||||
| despondency owing to money matters, he would accept two sureties from him to keep the peace.' | ||||||
| ********************* | ||||||
| Between June and September 1892, Sir Gilbert appeared before the Central Criminal Court in | ||||||
| London, together with five other men, charged with conspiracy to defraud the public in | ||||||
| connection with the formation of bogus literary and art societies. | ||||||
| Evidence was brought before the Court which showed that Sir Gilbert and his colleagues had | ||||||
| formed a number of literary and art societies, which enabled them to obtain fees from | ||||||
| authors on the pretence of getting their writings published, and to defraud artists by | ||||||
| pretending that, for the payment of fees to the society, they would arrange for prominent | ||||||
| places to be secured for the artists' paintings at important art exhibitions. As in all schemes | ||||||
| of this nature, the defendants traded upon the vanity and credulity of amateurs, enrolling | ||||||
| them as members of various impressively-named associations such as "The International | ||||||
| Society of Literature and Art" and granting the members, for a fee, diplomas which carried | ||||||
| the right to add the letters "F.L.S." after their names. | ||||||
| Although they operated this scheme for nearly 20 years, the Court heard that the full extent | ||||||
| of their frauds would never be revealed, since a large proportion of their victims declined to | ||||||
| give evidence against them, fearing that if they did so they would become objects of ridicule. | ||||||
| Eventually, all the defendants were found guilty and sentenced to varying terms of | ||||||
| imprisonment; Sir Gilbert Campbell received a sentence of 18 months. After serving his | ||||||
| sentence, Sir Gilbert appears to have slipped into total obscurity, dying some time around | ||||||
| 1899. | ||||||
| ********************* | ||||||
| In the early months of 1907, advertisements, placed by a legal firm, appeared in English | ||||||
| newspapers, calling upon "Claude Robert Campbell, son of Sir Gilbert Campbell, baronet, or, if | ||||||
| he be dead, his children" to communicate with the lawyers as soon as possible. | ||||||
| An article in the 'Chicago Daily Tribune' of 7 March 1907 comments on these advertisements | ||||||
| as follows:- | ||||||
| '……….Sir Gilbert Campbell, after a stormy and in the end unsavory career, is generally | ||||||
| understood to have been dead for the last seven or eight years. Some of the works of | ||||||
| reference even go so far as to describe his only son, Claude, as the fourth baronet of the | ||||||
| line, and as having succeeded to the title on his father's demise in 1899. Burke's Peerage | ||||||
| for the current year, however, seems to have conceived some doubts as to the authenticity | ||||||
| of the death of Sir Gilbert, of which there is no record either in 1899 or since, for it refers to | ||||||
| Sir Gilbert as "supposed to have died in 1899." | ||||||
| 'Sir Gilbert in his younger days was in the army, held a commission in the 92nd Highlanders, | ||||||
| and served through the Indian Mutiny. Subsequently, financial troubles forced him to leave | ||||||
| the service, and he turned his attention to literature and to newspaper work. He published | ||||||
| several novels and also what is probably the best English translation of Victor Hugo's | ||||||
| "Toilers of the Sea." But he was unable to make both ends meet, became involved in all | ||||||
| sorts of financial scrapes, and finally was arrested as a member of a gang charged with | ||||||
| defrauding persons with literary aspirations by means of bogus companies and societies | ||||||
| which promised, in return for a subscription, to secure publishers for manuscripts and also | ||||||
| purchasers for works of art, a long list of swindles being laid at their door. | ||||||
| 'Sir Gilbert was sent to jail for a term, and since then has disappeared from public view. His | ||||||
| only son, Claude,…….received his education on board the training ship Worcester from which | ||||||
| he graduated into the mercantile marine, but became disgusted with the sea, left his ship | ||||||
| at Galveston, and has never been heard of since.' | ||||||
| At the time the advertisements referred to above were published, Sir Claude Gilbert had been | ||||||
| dead for nearly seven years. In October 1910, before the Court of Probate, Divorce and | ||||||
| Admiralty, leave was sought to presume the death of Sir Claude. The Court heard evidence | ||||||
| that 'Sir Claude was the son of Sir Gilbert Edward Campbell. Sir Claude was born in 1871, | ||||||
| came of age in 1892, had lived a somewhat wild and reckless life, and in 1898 had left London | ||||||
| and shipped as an ordinary sailor on the Sutherlandshire, bound for East London, Cape Colony. | ||||||
| On April 6, 1899, he was paid off at Glasgow at the end of the voyage. Later he informed | ||||||
| Captain Nicholl [of the Sutherlandshire] that his father was dead and that he had succeeded | ||||||
| to the title and to a sum of £100. In May, 1900, at the last moment, he rejoined the | ||||||
| Sutherlandshire at Rotterdam. The ship was wrecked off Java Head, Sumatra, on July 25, | ||||||
| 1900, and Sir Claude volunteered with two apprentices to swim ashore for help, and in the | ||||||
| attempt he was drowned, as was also one of his companions, and their bodies were washed | ||||||
| ashore next day. Sir Claude was a bachelor, intestate, and was uninsured…….nothing had | ||||||
| been heard of Sir Claude since then.' | ||||||
| After confirming that Captain Nicholl swore to Sir Claude's death, the Judge gave leave to | ||||||
| presume the death of Sir Claude Campbell on, or since, 25 July 1900. | ||||||
| Sir Duncan Alexander Dundas Campbell, 3rd baronet [of Barcaldine, Argyll] | ||||||
| It was reported in the 'New York Times' of 29 May 1926 that 'Sir Duncan Campbell, eccentric | ||||||
| baronet, who so far as any man may do so was said to have lived in the past, and whom | ||||||
| even his friends had never seen smile, died at Saint Thomas's Hospital after a seizure in a | ||||||
| taxicab. | ||||||
| 'Of Sir Duncan Campbell it is also related that he lived and worked only by candle light, but | ||||||
| that was because he refused to allow the modern abomination of gas and electricity in his own | ||||||
| rooms, though his housekeeper had both. By the light of three or four candles he would have | ||||||
| his meals and pursue heraldic researches, for which he had a passion, much as Don Quixote | ||||||
| pored over the romances of knight errancy. | ||||||
| 'His barber said that in twenty years he had trimmed Sir Duncan's hair only twice and each | ||||||
| time he insisted in keeping his hat on for fear his locks might be shorn too short. Though he | ||||||
| lived aloof from the world, Sir Duncan attended the royal garden parties and similar functions | ||||||
| with the greatest regularity. | ||||||
| 'He wore a mackintosh covered with candle grease, which appeared to be about a quarter of | ||||||
| a century old. He was hereditary keeper of Barcaldine Castle and once entered a London | ||||||
| barber shop with the robes in which he was to attend a coronation wrapped in newspapers | ||||||
| with the ends hanging out.' | ||||||
| Sir Bruce Colin Patrick Campbell | ||||||
| of Ardnamurchan, 3rd baronet [creation of 1913] | ||||||
| The following is an extract from Simon Winchester's excellent book 'Their Noble Lordships' | ||||||
| (Faber & Faber, London, 1981):- | ||||||
| "…………Lt-Col Sir Bruce Colin Campbell of Ardnamurchan vanished without trace from a | ||||||
| boarding house in West Kensington. He had only just succeeded to the baronetcy after the | ||||||
| death of his father in a prison camp in Sumatra. A note was found telling his mother he was | ||||||
| going away. All his bills were paid, his estate in perfect order. There are some reports he was | ||||||
| suffering from sleeping-sickness, picked up while he managed a tin mine in Burma; he may, | ||||||
| some think, have been lost in the heavy London bombing of the time, and be buried in a | ||||||
| pauper's grave. Other reports say he had been married in Burma, having a son and two | ||||||
| daughters. But there is no firm evidence of either possibility - though clearly if there is a son | ||||||
| somewhere in some steamy jungle, and the Baronet is dead, he would be the rightful heir. | ||||||
| Debrett's merely records Sir Bruce as the title-holder with the note 'No information | ||||||
| concerning this Baronet has been received since 1943.'" | ||||||
| Sir John Powlett Orde, 2nd baronet (listed under 'Campbell-Orde') | ||||||
| In April 1871, Sir John was acquitted of a charge of assaulting a child. The following report | ||||||
| appeared in ''Reynolds's Newspaper' on 30 April 1871:- | ||||||
| 'Sir John Orde, of Kilmory, near Lochgilphead, was charged, at the instance of the Procurator- | ||||||
| Fiscal for the county of Argyll, with the crime of assault, committed with his whip upon the | ||||||
| person of a little boy, aged four years, while driving tandem along the public road, near the | ||||||
| village of Ardishaig, on the 1st of November, 1870. The case was tried before Mr. Speirs, | ||||||
| interim Sheriff-Substitute at Inveraray. From the evidence adduced, it appeared that the | ||||||
| baronet, while proceeding in his coach at a smart rate along the road, struck with his whip | ||||||
| at some children who were standing on the roadside, and who were doing nothing to provoke | ||||||
| him in any way. The lash of the whip caught around the neck of one of the little boys, and he | ||||||
| was pulled to the ground, and dragged for several yards along the rough road, whereby he | ||||||
| was cut and bruised about the head and neck. Sir John's groom, who was sitting behind the | ||||||
| coach, deposed on oath that his master struck at the little boy quite gratuitously, and that | ||||||
| when told he had lassoed a child by the throat, he merely gave a mocking laugh. Several | ||||||
| witnesses deposed to seeing the little fellow dragged on the ground, and that he had been | ||||||
| doing nothing to molest Sir John or his horses, while the baronet maintained in his official | ||||||
| declaration that the boy was throwing stones, and frightened his horses, causing them to | ||||||
| shy and plunge. The Sheriff-Substitute held that the occurrence was purely accidental, | ||||||
| there being, he said, no evidence of any intention on the part of Sir John to injure the child. | ||||||
| He, therefore, found the accused "Not guilty." The case was watched with much interest by | ||||||
| a large number of people in court, and some amount of feeling was exhibited as certain | ||||||
| points in the evidence were brought out.' | ||||||
| Caroline, Lady Carden, wife of Sir John Craven Carden, 4th baronet | ||||||
| The 4th baronet's first marriage, in July 1844, was to Caroline Milner, daughter of Sir William | ||||||
| Mordaunt Sturt Milner, 4th baronet [GB 1717]. Caroline died on 5 November 1850, when she | ||||||
| was accidentally shot in the grounds of her husband's estate. The following account of her | ||||||
| death appeared in 'The York Herald and General Advertiser' of 9 November 1850:- | ||||||
| 'We regret to record the death of Lady Carden, daughter of Sir Wm. Milner, Bart., of Nun | ||||||
| Appleton, and wife of Sir J.C. Carden, Bart., of the Priory, Templemore, which occurred under | ||||||
| most distressing circumstances. It appears by the Nenagh [in North Tipperary] papers that | ||||||
| about four o'clock on the evening of Tuesday, as John Craven Carden, Bart., and his brother, | ||||||
| Warden Carden, Esq., were shooting rabbits in the Priory demesne, Lady Carden went towards | ||||||
| them, and seated herself on a rustic chair, surrounded and covered by shrubs. Both gentlemen | ||||||
| immediately joined her. Having placed their rifles, which were at full-cock at the time, against | ||||||
| the trees which entwined around the back of the chair, they entered into conversation with | ||||||
| Lady Carden, when a sudden gale of wind arose which shook the trees and caused one of the | ||||||
| rifles to discharge, when alas! the ball entered under Lady Carden's left ear, and, melancholy | ||||||
| to relate, terminated her existence on the spot. She died in the arms of her affectionate | ||||||
| husband, whose grief is inexpressible. Nothing can equal the gloom which the death of this | ||||||
| amiable and excellent lady has cast for many miles around the country. To the poor her death | ||||||
| is a severe loss, for her charity was as heartfelt as it was unbounded and frequent. She had | ||||||
| just returned from inspecting three schools which she built at her own expense for the | ||||||
| instruction of the youth of the neighbourhood, when she met with her deplorable end. Lady | ||||||
| Carden has left a family of three young children, who are now bereaved of their youthful and | ||||||
| affectionate mother.' | ||||||
| Other contemporary reports differ slightly in reporting the circumstances. Some papers state | ||||||
| that the rifle discharged when it became entangled in Lady Carden's voluminous dress, but | ||||||
| unfortunately the result was the same. | ||||||
| Sir John Valentine Carden, 6th baronet | ||||||
| Sir John, together with six other passengers and four crew, died in a plane crash in December | ||||||
| 1935. The following edited report of the crash is taken from the 'New York Times' of 11 | ||||||
| December 1935:- | ||||||
| 'Ice forming on the wings of a Belgian airliner as it neared Croydon airfield at dusk yesterday | ||||||
| was believed to have thrown it into a headlong dive into a garden in which its 11 occupants, | ||||||
| seven passengers and a crew of four, were instantly killed. It was one of the worst disasters | ||||||
| in the history of British aviation. | ||||||
| 'Among the passengers was Sir John Carden, noted designer of airplane engines and a technical | ||||||
| director of Vickers-Armstrong, Ltd., where his activities were principally related to Vickers army | ||||||
| tanks, in connection with which he had just been in Brussels. It was said that every tank now | ||||||
| used by the British Army had been wholly or partly designed by him. | ||||||
| 'The disaster occurred in the Tatsfield district of the Surrey hills, known among cross-Channel | ||||||
| pilots as "the valley of death." It is usually cloud-ridden, with a number of flashing beacons to | ||||||
| guide airmen the last few miles to the Croydon field. | ||||||
| 'Witnesses suggest that the pilot, seeing that the crash was inevitable, promptly switched off | ||||||
| all three engines, for no fire resulted when the forepart of the plane embedded itself in the | ||||||
| earth and wreckage from the rest of the machine littered the ground within a radius of fifty | ||||||
| yards. | ||||||
| 'It was not until after midnight that the police recovered the bodies. All were mutilated. Lady | ||||||
| Carden insisted upon seeing the body of her husband, who was identified by his automobile | ||||||
| driving licence. He was an experienced pilot and had vowed that he would never fly in bad | ||||||
| weather, which impelled his wife to hope that a mistake had been made. | ||||||
| 'Earlier in the year he had announced that he had designed a new type of light airplane | ||||||
| engine that would make possible "the production of a £100 family airplane." Co-operating with | ||||||
| Henri Mignet [1893-1965], pioneer of the "flying flea" midget plane, he modified a Ford | ||||||
| automobile engine for the machine and the machine became known as the Carden.' | ||||||
| Sir Alexander Carew, 2nd baronet | ||||||
| During the early days of the Civil War, Sir Alexander was appointed by Parliament as Governor of | ||||||
| St. Nicholas Island (now called Drake's Island) in Plymouth Sound. It was later suspected that | ||||||
| Sir Alexander planned to betray the island to the Royalist forces, for which he was tried, | ||||||
| condemned and executed in December 1644. The following account is taken from "A Collection | ||||||
| of Proceedings and Trials against State Prisoners" [London 1741]:- | ||||||
| 'The Charge against Sir Alexander was founded on the Second and Third Articles of a late | ||||||
| Ordinance of Parliament, which made it Death to adhere to the Enemy, or to betray or surrender | ||||||
| any Fortress to his Majesty; and set forth that when the Wars began the Town of Plymouth | ||||||
| was looked upon as a most considerable Place, and the Island of St. Nicholas was so appendant | ||||||
| to it, that Plymouth could not be safe unless that were secured: And therefore to secure them | ||||||
| both, Sir George Chidleigh [Chudleigh, 1st baronet E 1622] was pitched upon Governor, and took | ||||||
| a Commission from the Earl of Essex; and by Deputation from him, by consent of Parliament, the | ||||||
| Charge and Government of the Island was entrusted to this Sir Alexander, who had deserted | ||||||
| that Trust, adhered to the Enemy, and endeavoured to betray that Island and the Forces | ||||||
| therein; which was offered to be made out by proving, that he had Intelligence with Colonel | ||||||
| Edgecomb and Major Scawen of the King's Party, not only by Letters but by personal | ||||||
| Conference several times at Midnight in their own Quarters; that he had slandered the | ||||||
| Parliament and their Proceedings, and justified the King's Proceedings against the Parliament; | ||||||
| and magnified the King's Power and Victories, and given the Parliament's Cause for lost; that | ||||||
| he had endeavoured to Work upon his soldiers and Officers by promising them Pardons; that he | ||||||
| had declared his Resolution to hold that Island for the King, and endeavoured to put that | ||||||
| Resolution in Practice, by putting himself in a Posture both defensive and offensive against the | ||||||
| Parliament's Forces, and seeking to bring the Forces of the Enemy into the Island, which he had | ||||||
| effected but that his own soldiers took him flagranti Crimine, in the very manner. For | ||||||
| manifesting these particulars, several Witnesses, as Mr. Francis, the Mayor of Plymouth, Mr. | ||||||
| Willis and Mr. Bandal, two Ministers, Captain Hancock, John Deep, Merchant, and Arthur Skinner, | ||||||
| Gentleman, were produced, and his own Confession and Examination read. | ||||||
| 'Many of these Actions Sir Alexander denied, but his chief Plea, was that the Ordinance did not | ||||||
| look backwards, but only forward; and therefore he ought not to be tried for them on this | ||||||
| Ordinance, since the matters objected were done and transacted long before the Ordinance | ||||||
| was made, viz. about the Month of August, 1643. | ||||||
| 'To which Mills the Advocate replied, I. That his Defence, grounded upon the Ordinance of | ||||||
| Parliament, was not only insufficient, but seemed to reflect on the Wisdom and Justice of the | ||||||
| Parliament. II. That these Exceptions of his arose from a great Mistake; for the two Articles | ||||||
| they proceeded upon against him, viz. the second and the seventh, do both look back as well | ||||||
| as forward; and indeed do not create or make any new Crime, but declare the Punishment of | ||||||
| what was before, and at all Times, Treachery and Treason in War, which by all the Laws Civil | ||||||
| is Death. And so the Court proceeded to sentence that he should be beheaded. | ||||||
| 'On the Saturday following his Sentence, his Lady presented a Petition to the House of | ||||||
| Commons, setting forth, That Sir Alexander was in a kind of distracted Condition, and unfit to | ||||||
| die, and therefore prayed he might be reprieved; whereupon a Committee was sent to visit him | ||||||
| and report his Condition, who declared him not to be distracted; however, that he might have | ||||||
| Time to settle his Estate, and prepare himself for Death, Execution was respited for above a | ||||||
| Month, viz. until Monday, December 23, when he was brought by the Lieutenant and his Officers | ||||||
| to a Scaffold erected on Tower-Hill, where he made a Speech, observing, that his greatest | ||||||
| Enemy could only charge him with a Suspicion of the Fact for which he was condemned; and | ||||||
| that he was assured of Eternal Peace and Happiness after the Dissolution of his Body, as his | ||||||
| Father was before him; after which he submitted to the Block, and the Executioner struck off | ||||||
| his Head.' | ||||||
| Sir James Robert Carmichael, 2nd baronet [UK 1821] and a claim made to the | ||||||
| baronetcy in 1908 | ||||||
| The following article appeared in the London "Telegraph" of 26 August 1908, under the heading | ||||||
| of "Claim to a Baronetcy." Any such claim was doomed from the start, since the claimant relied | ||||||
| on descent via a daughter of the second baronet. As the descent of the baronetcy was limited | ||||||
| to the male line, the claimant's chances of success were non-existent. This fact appears to | ||||||
| have been recognised by the newspaper, since, in its final paragraph it queries various aspects | ||||||
| of the claimant's story. This scepticism is unusual for the popular press of the time, which cared | ||||||
| little for fact and more for sensation. | ||||||
| 'There is always a large crop of people in America claiming English titles and fortunes. Some- | ||||||
| times they are justified, as in the case of the "cowboy baronet" [i.e. Sir Genille Cave-Browne- | ||||||
| Cave whose story is included on this page] recently, but more often they are not. John Ford, | ||||||
| an American repairer of musical instruments of Philadelphia, sails hence to-morrow to claim | ||||||
| succession to the baronetcy of Sir James Robert Carmichael, and a fortune modestly estimated | ||||||
| at over £3,000,000. He and his sister, who lives in penury in New York, swear that they are the | ||||||
| grandchildren of Sir James, who died in 1883. The latter's daughter married a saddler, they say. | ||||||
| This infuriated the proud baronet. His daughter was also proud and likewise honest, and, | ||||||
| refusing to remain in England, she set forth with the poor saddler for America. The baronet is | ||||||
| represented as unforgiving as regards his daughter, but it is claimed that he recognised her | ||||||
| marriage at Tunbridge Wells and promised to leave his "grandchildren, who are not responsible | ||||||
| for their mother's fault, a legacy." Soon after this letter was sent to America, the baronet died. | ||||||
| 'The claimant, Mr. John Ford, and his sister, by name Mrs. Warren, received the reporters in New | ||||||
| York today. This practice is quite common when claimants sail for England to battle for their | ||||||
| rights. Both admitted that they were very poor, but both were confident that England will give | ||||||
| them their due. Mrs. Warren produced a letter purporting to come from the late baronet, and said | ||||||
| she recollected that her mother received an allowance from him. | ||||||
| 'Mr. John Ford, who certainly looks more like an Englishman than a typical American, said: Five | ||||||
| years after my mother's death in 1883 I went to London to press a claim for aid. I had my grand- | ||||||
| father's letter. I called on my stepgrandmother, who lived in a white stone house at 11, Sussex- | ||||||
| place. She was an old lady living in luxury. She received me coldly and referred me to her son. I | ||||||
| was young and foolish and did not know how to proceed. Her son was the baronet then, and he | ||||||
| was a member of Parliament. He had made a claim for the title of Earl of Hyndford and he was a | ||||||
| man of great position. I was overawed and wasted my time. I was not seeking for anything but | ||||||
| financial help. I came to America without seeing the baronet, as my funds were low. I heard | ||||||
| vaguely about the death of the old lady and her son, who died six years ago. With him the title | ||||||
| became extinct. I have written to M. Victor Larvelle, who was French Commissioner during the | ||||||
| World's Fair, and for whom I worked. I told him about my claims, and I have sent him my letter. | ||||||
| He advised me to come to London. Since receiving this letter I have been saving up money with | ||||||
| which to make the trip. | ||||||
| 'The baronetcy to which Mr. John Ford is stated to be laying claim was bestowed, in August, | ||||||
| 1821, upon Major-General Sir James Carmichael-Smyth for distinguished military services. He | ||||||
| died in 1838, and was succeeded by his only son, Sir James Robert Carmichael, who assumed | ||||||
| by Royal license, in 1841, the surname of Carmichael only, in lieu of Carmichael-Smyth. On his | ||||||
| death, in 1883, he was succeeded by his only son, Sir James Morse Carmichael, who was M.P. | ||||||
| for the St. Rollox Division of Glasgow from 1892 to 1895, and claimed the dormant title of Earl | ||||||
| of Hyndford. Sir James died unmarried on May 31, 1902, and the baronetcy then became | ||||||
| extinct. The second baronet had two daughters. One married a clergyman and the other, | ||||||
| according to "Burke's Peerage," died unmarried in 1874. It is difficult to follow Mr. Ford's | ||||||
| allusion to his "step-grandmother." The second baronet was only married once - viz., to Louisa | ||||||
| Charlotte, daughter of Sir Thomas Butler, Bt., of Garryhundon, co. Carlow, and she survived | ||||||
| him sixteen years, dying in 1899.' | ||||||
| Sir Francis Edward Cassel, 2nd baronet [UK 1920] | ||||||
| Following his death, the London "Daily Telegraph" of 19 April 1969 contained the following | ||||||
| obituary:- | ||||||
| Sir Francis Cassel, 56, the wealthy concert pianist and racehorse owner, has died at his home | ||||||
| at Putteridge Bury, Luton, after a seven-month illness, it was announced yesterday. | ||||||
| 'Despite a mixed reaction from the critics, Sir Francis hired the Albert Hall each year at a cost | ||||||
| of £350 to give a piano recital of his favourite works. | ||||||
| 'A bachelor, his hobby was owning and breeding racehorses, which he raced with considerable | ||||||
| success. He also owned a garage and a nursery, and ran an investment trust. | ||||||
| 'He achieved the reputation of being an eccentric. He was once quoted as saying that he | ||||||
| taught his horses French and German and how to count to 10 backwards. | ||||||
| 'Sir Francis succeeded his father to the title in 1953, but sold the family home, Putteridge Bury | ||||||
| House, now a teachers' training college, and lived in a brick-built farmworker's cottage on the | ||||||
| estate. | ||||||
| 'He traced his descent from both Francis Bacon's father and Sheridan, and was connected | ||||||
| with the Mountbatten family. He was chairman of the Cassel Hospital for Nervous Disorders, | ||||||
| Richmond, which was founded by his great-uncle, Sir Ernest Cassel, grandfather of Countess | ||||||
| Mountbatten. | ||||||
| 'Sir Francis was sometimes seen in the town centre at Luton, wearing a cloak and white tennis | ||||||
| shoes. One of the last times he came to the public's attention was when he intervened in a | ||||||
| deadlocked bus strike at Luton, and helped to find a settlement.' | ||||||
| Sir Genille Cave-Browne-Cave, 12th baronet | ||||||
| Sir Genille led a remarkable life, as is illustrated in his obituary which appeared in 'The Times' | ||||||
| on 30 October 1929:- | ||||||
| 'A varied and adventurous career closes with the death of the Rev. Sir Genille Cave-Browne- | ||||||
| Cave, rector of Londesborough, Yorkshire, which occurred yesterday at Londesborough | ||||||
| rectory. After a roving life, which had included fighting in the American-Spanish War and in | ||||||
| the Boxer Expedition in China, life before the mast, ranching in America, the circus, and the | ||||||
| stage, he took Orders in the Church of England in 1920. | ||||||
| 'The family, which is of Norman extraction, is one of the most ancient in the British Isles. From | ||||||
| a pedigree prepared and certified by the Garter King-of-Arms in 1632, it appears to be derived | ||||||
| from one Jordan de Cave, who received from his brother, Wyamarus de Cave, the estates of | ||||||
| North Cave and South Cave, in the County of York, which had been granted to the latter by | ||||||
| William the Conqueror in 1080. The first Baronet, Sir Thomas Cave, was so created in 1641, for | ||||||
| distinguished service in the Civil Wars. The name of Browne came into the family in 1675 | ||||||
| through the marriage of the second Baronet with the daughter of John Browne, of Eydon, | ||||||
| Northamptonshire, Clerk of the Parliaments, and was assumed as part of the title by the ninth | ||||||
| Baronet, Sir William Cave-Browne-Cave, who died in 1838. | ||||||
| 'Sir Genille Cave-Browne-Cave was the second and only surviving son of the 11th Baronet, Sir | ||||||
| Mylles Cave-Browne-Cave, whom he succeeded in the title in 1907. He was born on September | ||||||
| 3, 1869, and received some education at St. Helen's College, Southsea, and Repton. About his | ||||||
| 13th year he ran away from home and joined Sanger's Circus, where he was recognised after a | ||||||
| few weeks and restored to his family. From a training ship to which he was sent he was | ||||||
| dismissed for insubordination, and he was then, at the age of 14, apprenticed for four years on | ||||||
| a sailing ship plying to Australia. Getting tired with the life, he deserted with a companion and | ||||||
| escaped to the bush. Drifting home in 1885, he enlisted in a cavalry regiment and he saw | ||||||
| service, and got into many scrapes, in India. In time he purchased his discharge and went off | ||||||
| to Burma; after some months' hunting and shooting, he drifted back to India and worked in the | ||||||
| Mysore gold fields. He returned to England and rejoined the Army, but soon tired of it, and | ||||||
| after some time spent in South Africa he paid his first visit to the Far West, which on and off, | ||||||
| in Western Kansas and elsewhere, was destined to be his home as a rancher for many years. | ||||||
| When the Spanish-American War broke out he naturally took a hand in it; when it was over he | ||||||
| shipped back to England as a cattleman. Then he got a job as quartermaster on a liner for the | ||||||
| Far East, where he was lucky enough to be just in time for the Boxer Rebellion, and took part | ||||||
| in in the Expedition by the Powers. After this he returned to ranching in the Far West, and | ||||||
| spent six months in Salt Lake City. | ||||||
| 'The death of his father, in 1907, and his succession to the baronetcy, recalled him to | ||||||
| England, and about the time of the death of King Edward he was doing turns on the stage of | ||||||
| the London Hippodrome, and he professed to be earning there £100 a week. However, the | ||||||
| West again called him, and, forsaking ranching, he went on to the "movies." His adventures at | ||||||
| this point took a violent turn in a different direction, for, wandering into a Salvation Army | ||||||
| meeting, as he put it, he "became a Christian," and later he seems to have joined the | ||||||
| Wesleyans and had a "parish" in Virginia. The outbreak of the Great War, however, drew him | ||||||
| homewards, and he enlisted and became a corporal, apparently in a Canadian unit. Being | ||||||
| considered to be too old to be a Free Church chaplain, he joined the R.G.A. [Royal Garrison | ||||||
| Artillery?], and on demobilization he decided to take Orders in the Church of England. He | ||||||
| passed through the necessary training at the London Theological College, and was ordained | ||||||
| deacon in 1920, and served in curacies in London. In his volume of recollections. "From | ||||||
| Cowboy to Pulpit" [Herbert Jenkins, London, 1926], may be read the tale of these and many | ||||||
| more of his adventures, closing, he might have reflected, with the strangest of all, his | ||||||
| appointment as rector of a parish in rural England. | ||||||
| 'Sir Genille Cave-Browne-Cave married, in 1926, Mary Elizabeth, daughter of John Wreghitt, of | ||||||
| East Thorpe, Yorkshire. He is succeeded in the title by his cousin, Commander Reginald | ||||||
| Ambrose Cave-Browne-Cave, R.N.' | ||||||
