| Sir Patrick Heron-Maxwell, 5th baronet | ||||||
| From 'The Glasgow Herald' of 2 September 1844, reprinted from the 'Dumfries Standard':- | ||||||
| 'It is with feelings of the most painful regret that we record the sudden and melancholy death | ||||||
| of Sir Patrick Maxwell, Bart., of Springkell, which took place on Tuesday morning, about nine | ||||||
| o'clock. On Monday night, Sir Patrick was returning from Springkell, to Knockhill, where he was | ||||||
| residing, when, on the road between Kittlebridge and Ecclefechan, either his horse had fallen | ||||||
| with him, (which we are informed it had done a few days previous), or from some other cause | ||||||
| not ascertained, he was thrown on the road, and received a severe injury, which rendered him | ||||||
| insensible. He was shortly after found and carried to the farm-house of Caldwellknow, where | ||||||
| medical aid was procured, and every available means had recourse to, in order to effect his | ||||||
| recovery, but all to no avail, as he gradually sank till next morning he expired.' | ||||||
| The special remainder to the baronetcy of Hervey-Bathurst created in 1818 | ||||||
| From the "London Gazette" of 3 Oct 1818 (issue 17404, page 1767):- | ||||||
| 'His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has been pleased, in the name and on behalf of His | ||||||
| Majesty, to direct letters patent to be passed under the Great Seal of the United Kingdom | ||||||
| of Great Britain and Ireland, for granting the dignity of a Baronet of the said United Kingdom | ||||||
| to Felton Elwill Bathurst Hervey, of Lainston, in the county of Southampton, Esq. Colonel in | ||||||
| the Army, Extra Aide-de-Camp to His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, Lieutenant-Colonel | ||||||
| of the 14th Regiment of Light Dragoons, and a Companion of the Most Honourable Military | ||||||
| Order of the Bath; with remainder, in failure of issue male, to his brother Frederick Anne | ||||||
| Hervey, of Clarendon Park, in the county of Wilts, Esq. and his heirs male.' | ||||||
| Sir Andrew Ashton Waller Hills, 1st and only baronet | ||||||
| Sir Andrew was created a baronet at the age of only 5 years and 3 months in 1939. He was | ||||||
| the son of John Waller Hills (1867-1938) who had been MP for Durham City 1906-1922 and | ||||||
| Ripon 1925-1938. John Waller Hills died on 24 December 1938, just prior to the 1939 New | ||||||
| Year's Honours List in which he would have been created a baronet had he lived. His son was | ||||||
| therefore created a baronet in his place, and Sir Andrew's mother was granted the style of | ||||||
| a baronet's widow. | ||||||
| The following report appeared in the London "Telegraph" on 10 February 1939:- | ||||||
| 'It was announced last night that the five-year-old son of the late Major J.W. Hills is to receive | ||||||
| the baronetcy which, but for his death, would have been conferred un Major Hills in the New | ||||||
| Year's Honours List. | ||||||
| 'Major Hills, who was M.P. for Ripon and was formerly Financial Secretary to the Treasury, died | ||||||
| on Dec. 24. The following announcement was issued last night from 10 Downing Street: | ||||||
| 'The King has been pleased to approve that the dignity of a baronetcy of the United Kingdom | ||||||
| be conferred upon Andrew ashton Waller Hills, son of the late Major the Rt Hon John Waller | ||||||
| Hills, D.C.L., M.P., whose name would have been submitted to his Majesty for the conferment | ||||||
| of a baronetcy in the New Year Honours List but for his death on Dec. 24, 1938. The King | ||||||
| has also been pleased to approve that Mary Grace Hills, widow of the late Major the Rt Hon | ||||||
| John Waller Hills, D.C.L., M.P., be granted the style, title, place and precedence of the widow | ||||||
| of a baronet.' | ||||||
| 'Mrs. Hills, who lives in Palace Gardens-terrace, Kensington, said last night: "I am very much | ||||||
| touched at the honour which has been bestowed upon us in recognition of my husband's life | ||||||
| work. He was a very modest man by nature and I do not think he ever gave a thought to such | ||||||
| a thing as a title. When he was very ill, about a week before he died, he received an intimation | ||||||
| that his name would be submitted for the New Year's Honours, and he was tremendously | ||||||
| grateful about it because he knew it would fall upon his son. The honour which has been | ||||||
| conferred upon my son is what my husband would have hoped for." | ||||||
| 'Mrs. Hills said she had given the news to her son, who was not old enough yet to comprehend | ||||||
| the full meaning of the honour. | ||||||
| 'Mrs. Hills was the second wife of Major Hills. His first wife died in the year of their marriage, | ||||||
| 1897. In 1931, at the age of 64, he married Miss Mary Grace Ashton, the novelist [1908-1980], | ||||||
| who was then 22. She published her first novel at the age of 16. | ||||||
| 'Major Hills sat for Durham from 1906 to 1922, and for Ripon where he succeeded Viscount | ||||||
| Halifax, then Mr. Edward Wood, from 1925.' | ||||||
| Unfortunately, Sir Andrew did not live long enough to enjoy his title, since he was knocked | ||||||
| down and killed by a bus in Oxford in February 1955, aged only 21. His death was reported in | ||||||
| the "Daily Telegraph" of 7 February 1955 - 'Sir Andrew Ashton Waller Hills, 21, the first baronet, | ||||||
| was knocked down and killed by a bus in St. Giles, Oxford, on Saturday. The title becomes | ||||||
| extinct, there being no heir. Sir Andrew, who was umnarried, being an only child. The result | ||||||
| of the inquest into his death was reported, again in the "Daily Telegraph" of 10 March 1955 - | ||||||
| 'A verdict of accidental death was recorded at an inquest at Oxford yesterday on Sir Andrew | ||||||
| Hills, 21, an undergraduate of Balliol College, who was killed by a bus in Oxford last month. A | ||||||
| witness, Mr. James Frank Martin, Walton Street, Oxford, said Sir Andrew ran into the path of | ||||||
| the bus. The driver had no chance of avoiding him. Sir Andrew seemed to realise the danger. | ||||||
| He turned, then either slipped or twisted, and fell. Sir Andrew's mother, Lady Hills, said her | ||||||
| son was slightly lame. | ||||||
| For another instance of a boy being created a baronet in similar circumstances, see the | ||||||
| baronetcy of Kennard. | ||||||
| Vera, Lady Hodge, widow of Sir Rowland Frederic William Hodge, 1st baronet | ||||||
| The marriage of Sir Rowland Hodge and his wife, Vera, was somewhat less than happy, lasting | ||||||
| for only six weeks. Lady Hodge appears to have been a "gold-digger" and when, on the death | ||||||
| of Sir Rowland, her share of his estate amounted to one farthing, she attempted to have this | ||||||
| amount increased. The following reports detail her total lack of success; firstly from the London | ||||||
| "Telegraph" of 22 February 1952:- | ||||||
| 'When Sir Rowland Frederic William Hodge, first baronet, shipbuilder, died in 1950 he left one | ||||||
| farthing out of his estate of about £34,000 to his widow, "there being no smaller English coin | ||||||
| by which she might remember her ill-used husband," said counsel for the widow in the Chancery | ||||||
| Division yesterday. | ||||||
| 'The widow, Vera Lady Hodge, formerly Countess Cathcart, Sterling-street, Knightsbridge, asked | ||||||
| Mr. Justice Wynn Parry for reasonable provision out of her husband's estate. | ||||||
| 'Mr. John Sparrow, for Lady Hodge, said she was Sir Rowland's second wife and she herself had | ||||||
| been married twice before. Shortly after the death of Sir Rowland's first wife he met a Miss | ||||||
| Enid Patricia O'Dare, who became his mistress for several years. | ||||||
| 'He met the plaintiff in 1930 when she was 37, nine years after she was divorced from her | ||||||
| second husband, the fifth Earl Cathcart. The marriage with Sir Rowland was a case of marry in | ||||||
| haste and repent at leisure. It broke up after a few unhappy weeks. | ||||||
| 'Statements made by Sir Rowland on earlier proceedings were read to the court. In them he | ||||||
| said he met Miss O'Dare, a stage dancer, in 1924. A child was born in 1926, Sir Rowland said, | ||||||
| and when the child was a few years old they decided to put their relationship on a different | ||||||
| footing. "Since then my interest in her has been only fatherly and the boy has been brought up | ||||||
| in the supposition that I am his grandfather." | ||||||
| 'When he met his wife she was heavily in debt. "The whole object was to see how much money | ||||||
| she could extract from me. She left after a scene in which she slapped my face." | ||||||
| 'Lady Hodge, in an affidavit, said her husband had presented an entirely false picture of the | ||||||
| early days of the marriage. She left because of his continued relationship with Miss O'Dare. "It | ||||||
| was only from a chance remark of the boy that I realised the true state of affairs." | ||||||
| 'She challenged her husband: "That woman is your mistress and that is your illegitimate child." | ||||||
| He replied: "What of it?" "That was what poisoned our relationship," she said. | ||||||
| 'Cross-examined, Lady Hodge said she was engaged to Sir Rowland for only 10 days before | ||||||
| the marriage. Later Miss O'Dare went to live at her husband's country house at Churt, Surrey, | ||||||
| and was passed off as his daughter-in-law. | ||||||
| 'Mr. J.L. Arnold, for the executors of Sir Rowland's will: "Is the implication that they were living | ||||||
| in sin?" - It is very strange that she went down there to live. | ||||||
| 'In 1934 she presented a divorce petition, citing Miss O'Dare, but the case was stopped by the | ||||||
| jury and the petition dismissed. | ||||||
| 'Lady Hodge continued: "When my husband and I parted he paid my debts of £2,500, plus a | ||||||
| sum of £3,000 and £1,250 a year. When I married him he told me I could spend £10,000 a year, | ||||||
| so naturally I was extravagant." | ||||||
| 'Counsel: He says you spent £10,000 in the three weeks you were together? - My husband was | ||||||
| a very rich man when I married him. She denied she had "done very well out of all this." It had | ||||||
| ruined her life. | ||||||
| 'The case was adjourned till to-day.' | ||||||
| The second report appeared the next issue of the "Telegraph"; i.e. 23 February 1952:- | ||||||
| 'Vera Lady Hodge, 59, formerly Countess Cathcart, Sterling-street, Knightsbridge, yesterday | ||||||
| lost her claim for reasonable provision from the £34,000 estate of her baronet husband, Sir | ||||||
| Rowland Frederic William Hodge, 91, shipbuilder. He died in 1950. | ||||||
| 'Mr. Justice Wynn Parry said in the Chancery Division: "She does not begin to establish a case | ||||||
| for any relief under the Act. Though she was left only one farthing in her husband's will she | ||||||
| received a total of £35,000 from him over the years. Sir Rowland and his wife lived only about | ||||||
| three weeks under the same roof. In my view the truth is that this extremely short and poor | ||||||
| marriage broke up because of financial quarrels between the parties, the main blame for which | ||||||
| lay on Lady Hodge and not Sir Rowland." | ||||||
| 'The terms of Sir Rowland's will were intentionally contemptuous. He bequeathed her "one | ||||||
| farthing, that being the smallest coin by which she might remember her ill-used husband." He | ||||||
| made it clear he was labouring under a strong sense of grievance and a feeling of very | ||||||
| considerable bitterness towards her. | ||||||
| 'She asserted that the real cause for the almost immediate breakdown of the marriage was | ||||||
| his liaison with a Miss O'Dare, a stage dancer. The judge did not accept Lady Hodge's story | ||||||
| that she was informed of the liaison only after the marriage. | ||||||
| 'Earlier, Mr. John Arnold, for Sir Rowland's family, said the marriage lasted only six weeks after a | ||||||
| 10-day engagement and in that time Sir Rowland gave Lady Hodge £3,000 in cash, £2,500 to | ||||||
| pay her debts and £24 a week free of tax which continued throughout the 20 years until he | ||||||
| died. "She has been well recompensed. This is an audacious claim." | ||||||
| 'Mr. A.J. Belsham, representing other beneficiaries, said: "She was disappointed. She thought | ||||||
| she had a wealthy man she could twist round her finger and from whom money would flow freely | ||||||
| but it did not flow freely. She gambled away her chances deliberately and took this provision | ||||||
| rather than live with her husband. At the time of the marriage he was an elderly gentleman of | ||||||
| 71 and she was 37. Sir Rowland's estate was divided between six people, to whom he had real | ||||||
| moral obligations." | ||||||
| 'Dismissing the claim, the judge made no order as to Lady Hodge's costs and directed that | ||||||
| respondents' costs should be paid out of the estate.' | ||||||
| Sir Thomas Holte, 1st baronet [E 1611] | ||||||
| The "Sunderland Daily Echo and Shipping Gazette" of 22 Aug 1894, under the heading of "Some | ||||||
| Whimsical Wagers" records "That backing one's opinion through the time-honoured medium of | ||||||
| a bet sometimes leads to disastrous consequences, is shown by what was done by Sir Thomas | ||||||
| Holte, of Aston. That sportsman, while riding home after hunting, made a wager that dinner | ||||||
| would be ready exactly at the time for which it was ordered. For once in a way the cook's | ||||||
| punctuality was at fault; Sir Thomas lost his money, and, in his anger, killed the cook." | ||||||
| The Dictionary of National Biography's entry on Holte states that "In July 1608 Holte obtained | ||||||
| damages against one William Astgrigg for the slanderous statement made by him that 'Sir | ||||||
| Thomas Holte tooke a cleever, and hytt hys cooke with the same cleever uppon the heade, | ||||||
| and clave his heade, that one syde thereof fell uppon one of his shoulders, and the other syde | ||||||
| on the other shoulder, and this I will veryfie to be trewe.' On appeal, however, it was | ||||||
| ingeniously argued that although it had been stated that the halves of the cook's head had | ||||||
| fallen on either shoulder, there was no averment that the cook was killed, and the judgment of | ||||||
| the king's bench was consequently given in favour of the appellant. This slander gave rise to | ||||||
| the curious local tradition that Holte murdered his cook in a cellar at Duddeston, 'by running him | ||||||
| through with a spit,' and was subsequently compelled, by way of punishment the red hand (i.e. | ||||||
| the Ulster badge) on his arms." | ||||||
