			The special remainder to the baronetcy of Watson (later Kay) created in 1803

			'The King has been pleased to grant the Dignity of a Baronet of the United Kingdom of Great

			The special remainder to the baronetcy of Kellett created in 1801
			From the "London Gazette" of 4 July 1801 (issue 15382, page 754):-
			'The King has been pleased to grant the Dignity of a Baronet of the United Kingdom of Great
			Britain and Ireland to Sir Richard Kellett, of Lota, in the County of the City of Cork, Knight, with
			Remainder to the Heirs Male of the Body of his Father, Richard Kellett, Esq, of the City of Cork.'
			The descent of the Kellett baronetcy
			All sorts of confusion seems to have surrounded the holder of this title between 1883 and
			1906. The standard peerage reference works of the time all state that the holder of the
			title was Sir William Augustus Kellett, who had succeeded to the title in 1886.
			A letter from the London correspondent of the Melbourne 'Argus,' published on 29 January
			1906 informs the paper's readers that:-
			'Sir William Kellett, Bart., who died the other day, had a very romantic career. He was only
			57 years of age, and had held the title 20 years. He was nephew of the first baronet, first
			cousin of the second and succeeded to the baronetcy under a special remainder. He was
			originally a school master, lived for a time in India, and in the eighties he was a music
			teacher in Romney. When he claimed the baronetcy in 1886 he went to Australia to look
			after what was left of the family estates. He found that everything was mortgaged, and
			the deeds were held by solicitors for the benefit of creditors. When he returned to England
			he again supported himself by teaching music. His health broke down, and he was compelled
			to ask the Totnes poor-law guardians for relief. He was granted 3/- a week and, later, he
			was admitted to the St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Home, at Plymouth, where he died on [27
			December 1905.] The newspapers state that, though he was penniless and a confirmed
			invalid, he was about to be married to a daughter of the late Mr. James Jermy, of Stanfield-
			hall, Norfolk. He is succeeded in the title by his brother Henry, who is believed to be in
			Australia, but his whereabouts is said to be uncertain, for his relatives in England have not
			heard of him for some time.'
			Notice of his death was also recorded in the Court Circular section of 'The Times' on 2
			January 1906 in a paragraph which stated that "the funeral of Sir William Kellett, who died
			last week in a Roman Catholic home for the aged poor, took place yesterday at the
			cemetery, Plymouth. The mourners were four inmates of the home, and the service was
			conducted by one of the priests visiting the institution."
			The article in the 'Argus' on 29 January 1906 caused an immediate response. A letter to the
			editor appeared in the 3 February 1906 edition, which read:-
			'Sir - In the letter of your London correspondent, published on Monday, January 29, mention
			is made of the death, in poverty of "Sir William Kellett," at the age of 57. He is described as
			having held the title for 20 years. As a matter of fact he had no right to the title at all.
			'The title was last held by my uncle, Sir William Augustus Kellett, who, accompanied by my
			father, arrived in Victoria in 1839. In the forties and early fifties he was engaged in business
			in Collins-street (near Queen-street), Melbourne. He was married on the 15th May, 1851, to
			Mary Gibson, at the Cathedral Church of St. James, Melbourne, and of that marriage there
			was issue a daughter, named Theresa. He died at Hawthorn, and was buried on 30th April,
			1883, in Boroondara Cemetery, Kew, aged 68 years.
			'It was necessary to prove this when substantiating a claim under my father's will to money
			paid into Chancery under the Trustees Relief Act, which was done before the High Court of
			Justice, in Ireland, Chancery division, to the satisfaction of the Master of the Rolls, on the
			24th June, 1902……….
			'For reasons it is unnecessary to particularise I have not assumed the title during the past
			20 years, but it is plainly evident to me that, in justice to my sons and to prevent future
			complications, I must assert my position.
			'Yours etc, Henry de Castries Kellett, Bart.
			High-street, Kew, Feb 2.'
			This letter is somewhat unsatisfactory in its assertion that Sir William Augustus Kellett had
			been the last person to hold the title. There seems to be no doubt at all that, since he had
			died in April 1883, he never succeeded to the title, as the 2nd baronet did not die until
			February 1886.  And yet, as late as 1916, "Dod's Peerage" describes Sir Henry de Castries
			Kellett as being the 4th baronet. On the other hand, Sir Henry is shown in "Who's Who" as
			the 3rd baronet.
			To confuse the matter even further, the following article appeared in the 'Chicago Daily
			Tribune' on 29 March 1906:-
			'At the close of last year there died in St. Joseph's Roman Catholic home at Plymouth an
			old man of 70 whose misfortunes had excited a good deal of attention and sympathy and
			who used to be known as Sir William Kellet [sic], "the pauper baronet." He previously had
			been an inmate of the parish workhouse at Totnes, and it was the horror of a number of
			charitably inclined people at the idea of the titled chief of so ancient a family as the Kellets
			spending his old age in the workhouse that led them to provide for his welfare in a Catholic
			home.
			'According to his own story he was the son of a London merchant, ruined by reverses,
			and earning his bread as the manager of a private school in Kent when, in 1880, he was
			notified that through the death of his cousin in Australia he had inherited the latter's title
			and estates, the property being estimated at [US] $500,000. He parted with his school,
			according to his own account, at a considerable sacrifice, and, scarping together all the
			little money he possessed, sailed for Australia, only to find that his cousin's estate had
			been left so heavily encumbered that it was hopeless to expect anything from it.
			Accordingly he returned to England and took up music and teaching.
			'He asserted that he had lost his first wife many years ago, and in 1904 was about to
			contract a second marriage with a woman at Kingston, who offered to provide for him for
			life in return for his name and title. But when she the physical wreck to whom she was
			about to ally herself to, she broke off the match, being unwilling , even for the sake of
			becoming a baronet's wife, to go through a ceremony of marriage with so pitiable an
			object, crippled, as the man was, by two successive strokes of paralysis.
			'And now comes the extraordinary part of the affair. It seems that the man was an imposter
			who gulled even the compilers of "Burke's," "Debrett's," and other standard works of
			reference dealing with the baronetage, and it is amazing, in view of all the publicity which
			his misfortunes received in the press, that the fact of his pretensions should not have
			become known.
			'It came out that the real Sir William Kellet died in Australia in 1883 after having spent the
			previous forty years of his life in the antipodes without ever coming to England. He was
			buried in the Baroondara [sic] cemetery at Kew, in Victoria, April 18, 1883, and left but one
			child, a daughter of the name of Theresa, by a marriage contracted at St. James' Cathedral,
			at Melbourne, May 15, 1851. He was succeeded by his brother, the late Sir Henry de
			Castries Kellet. Sir Henry died about five years ago, and was succeeded by his son
			and namesake, who lives in Victoria. [my emphasis]
			'Proofs of the death of Sir William Kellet in April, 1883, had to be furnished not merely to the
			courts of the colony of Victoria but also to the chancery division of the High Court of
			Justice in Ireland at the time of the probating of the will of his brother, the late Sir Henry, in
			June, 1902. The court records of that year at Dublin show that the demise of Sir William, in
			1883, and that of his younger brother and successor, Sir Henry Kellet, in 1901, were
			established to the satisfaction of the master of the rolls at Dublin June 24, 1902. It was
			likewise made clear at that time that the real Sir William was 73 when he died, in 1883, and
			that he would therefore have been 95 had he survived until last year.
			'The fact is therefore established that the so-called "pauper baronet," upon whom so much
			pity was wasted, was a rank imposter, clever enough to mislead not only all sorts of kind-
			hearted people but also the compilers of "Peerages" and other standard works of reference,
			not one of which seems to have taken any note of the records of the Dublin court of
			chancery in 1902.'
			So who is this Sir Henry de Castries Kellet who is alleged to have died around 1901? - I've
			no idea. If any reader has access to the records of the Irish courts for the year 1902, I'd
			be very pleased to hear from them, but, in the meantime, the listing of the holders of this
			title follows the history as shown in Burke's Peerage.
			The undisputed Sir Henry de Castries Kellett died on 20 June 1924 when the hire-car in
			which he was a passenger was struck by a tram in Cotham Road, Kew, a suburb of
			Melbourne. His widow was eventually awarded £1,518 damages against the Melbourne and
			Metropolitan Tramways Board.
			Sir Nicholas Kemeys, 1st baronet
			According to an article in the New Zealand 'Hawke's Bay Herald' of 4 December 1897:-
			'Sir Nicholas Kemeys, Baronet, of Cefn Mably, was accounted one of the strongest men of
			his day, and a tradition corroborative of his great strength still exists in Glamorganshire.
			One summer evening as Sir Nicholas was walking in the deer park at Cefn Mably with some
			guests, an athletic man, leading an ass, upon which was his wallet, approached, and,
			respectfully saluting the company said he humbly supposed that the huge gentleman he
			had the honour of addressing was the strong Sir Nicholas Kemeys. The stranger, being
			answered in the affirmative, declared himself a noted Cornish wrestler who had never been
			thrown, and that having heard from a Welshman whom he had met in Bristol of the great
			bodily strength of Sir Nicholas he had made this journey to see his honour, adding that, if it
			were not asking too great a favour, he trusted Sir Nicholas would condescend and try a
			fall with him. The baronet smilingly assented, but advised the Cornishman first to go to the
			buttery and get refreshed. The Cornishman declined with many thanks, saying he was quite
			fresh; so they fell to wrestling, and in a moment the Cornishman was thrown upon his back.
			The baronet assisted him to rise, and asked him if he were now satisfied with his strength.
			The reply was as follows:- "Not unless you throw me over the Park wall." The story goes
			that this request was readily complied with, the unsatisfied wrestler entreating that Sir
			Nicholas would throw his ass after him over the wall, which was accordingly done. A place
			is still shown in the ancient park wall as the scene of the exploit. A fine picture now at Cefn
			Mably, in the possession of Colonel Kemeys Tynte, represents Sir Nicholas as of great
			stature and apparently of gigantic strength. He was killed at Chepstow Castle in defending
			it against the troops of Cromwell, having slain many of the enemy with his own hand in the
			sortie in which he fell.'
			Sir Coleridge Arthur Fitzroy Kennard, 1st baronet
			Sir Coleridge was created a baronet at the age of 5 years and 9 months. The baronetcy was
			originally intended for his grandfather and namesake, Coleridge Kennard, but he died on
			Christmas Day 1890, before the baronetcy could be gazetted. The elder Coleridge had been MP
			for Salisbury 1882-1885, and had contributed greatly to the Conservative cause, particularly in
			relation to the foundation of a Conservative newspaper, the "Evening News." His grandson was
			therefore created a baronet in his place.
			In addition, the London Gazette (issue 26126, page 360) contains a notice dated 17 January
			1891, which states that "The Queen, taking into Her Royal consideration that before the death
			of Coleridge John Kennard, Esquire, Her Majesty had expressed Her gracious intention of
			conferring upon him the dignity of a Baronet of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland,
			has been pleased to ordain and declare that Ellen Georgiana Kennard, the widow of the said
			Coleridge John Kennard, shall have, hold, and enjoy the same title, place, and precedence to
			which she would have been entitled had her said husband survived and been created a
			Baronet."
			For another instance of a boy being created a baronet in similar circumstances, see the
			baronetcy of Hills.
			Sir George Arnold Ford Kennard, 3rd baronet
			Extracted from Sir George's obituary in 'The Times' of 22 December 1999:-
			"Loopy" Kennard was regarded in the Army as an eccentric. He certainly behaved unusually on
			occasion, for example firing his revolver over the heads of his squadron sentries in Malaya to
			test their alertness (and receiving a fusillade in response). But it was his matter-of-fact way
			of regarding and describing the awful barbarity of war that marked him out. He came from a
			family which had made and lost huge wealth, and this may have contributed to the happy
			combination of his supreme self-confidence and his unfailing common touch.
			'Kennard spent much of the war [WW2] as a prisoner of the Germans, but the manner of his
			capture was quite in keeping with his lifestyle. After Wavell's victory against the Italians in
			the Western Desert, the 4th Hussars were sent to Salonika in 1941 as part of the vain attempt
			to prevent Greece being overrun by the Axis forces. The Commonwealth divisions fought
			tenaciously but were critically short of air support and their tanks were outgunned by the
			German Panzers.
			'After several unsuccessful encounters, Kennard and a handful of officers and men of the 4th
			Hussars found themselves in the Peloponnese with their backs to the Mediterranean. They
			hoped to hold out long enough to be rescued, but while tending a wounded brother officer
			Kennard was surprised to be addressed by someone speaking English in a German accent he
			recognised. It was Otto Herzog, the cousin of a German family he had known well before the
			war. Each fluent in the other's language, the pair then acted as go-betweens, arranging the
			surrender of some 10,000 Allied troops who would otherwise have been shelled to pieces on
			the beaches.
			'Kennard was subsequently involved in a number of escape attempts from Oflag VIB at
			Warburg in Westphalia. Having been dragged ignominiously heels-first from a narrow tunnel
			in which he and others were digging, he decided on an easier and less arduous route.
			Recovering in the prison hospital from dysentery, he and a companion enlisted the help of a
			foreman of a French forced-labour group to leave a plank behind at the end of their day's
			work. The plan was simple. The two laid the plank from the hospital window to the nearby
			perimeter fence, crawled across, jumped down and began walking westwards.
			'They made good progress, travelling only by night, keeping away from roads and stealing
			food from farms. After six weeks on the run, an encounter with a German sentry in Holland
			forced the two to split up. Each sought help from Dutch civilians but so great was the risk of
			German reprisals for aiding Allied escapers that both were recaptured a few hours later.
			'After being moved to a different camp, Kennard and Humphrey Luya of the Royal Artillery
			broke away from a marching column of prisoners and bolted into a wood. By this late stage
			of the war, the guards were either old men or mere boys, so no determined attempt was
			made to recapture them. Two days crouching in a thicket in the middle of a German
			defensive position until it was evacuated led to the pair's liberation by the American Army.'
			Sir Charles William Egleton Kent, 3rd baronet
			Sir Charles was found dead in his bed in April 1848, having suffered an aneurism of the arch of
			the aorta. The following report of the subsequent inquest appeared in the "Morning Post" of
			13 April 1848:-
			'Yesterday Mr. G.I. Mills, the Deputy-Coroner, held an inquest in the officers' room of the
			Regent's Park Barracks, Albany-street, on the body of Captain Sir Charles William Kent, Bart.,
			aged 29, of the 1st Regiment of Life Guards, who was found dead under the following circum-
			stances - William Gledhall deposed that he was valet to the deceased Baronet. Sir Charles
			had been ailing for some time past, and complained of a pain in his left side. On Saturday
			morning last, about half-past nine o'clock, he went up to the deceased's room, and on inquiring
			of his master how he was, he replied "Much better." Shortly before eleven o'clock Colonel Hall,
			the commander of the regiment, called, and inquired how deceased was, and, on being informed
			that he was better, the colonel went to deceased's apartment. The cries of Colonel Hall caused
			him to run to his master's apartment. He then found his master deluged in blood, and apparently
			lifeless. He ran for Dr. Campbell, the surgeon of the regiment, and, on that gentleman's arrival,
			he pronounced life to have been extinct some time. Colonel Hall said he was commanding-officer
			of the 1st Regiment of Life Guards, now quartered at the Regent's Park Barracks. On Saturday
			morning, about eleven o'clock, he called at the quarters of Captain Sir Charles William Kent to
			inquire after his health, and was informed by the previous witness that he was much better. On
			entering deceased's apartment he was alarmed on seeing him in bed, and the bed clothes
			covered with blood. He raised an alarm, and sent instantly for Dr. Campbell, the regimental
			surgeon, who, on arrival, said deceased was dead. Dr. Campbell deposed that, when he was
			called in, the deceased Baronet was quite dead. He had made a post mortem examination of
			the body and found the cause of death was a rupture of the descending aorta into the
			oesophagus. The Deputy Coroner explained to the Jury the nature of the disease under which
			deceased laboured, and remarked that it was precisely that under which Dr. [Robert] Liston
			[1794-1847], the eminent surgeon, had died of. It was a singular fact that Dr. Liston, who,
			without doubt, was the most eminent surgeon of his day, and who was so successful in the
			cure of every one else, had been for years endeavouring to discover the disease which he
			himself laboured under unsuccessfully. The Jury ultimately returned a verdict in accordance
			with the medical testimony.'
			The special remainder to the baronetcy of King created in 1815
			From the "London Gazette" of 13 June 1815 (issue 17023, page 1135):-
			'His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has been pleased, in the name and on behalf of His
			Majesty, to grant the Dignity of a Baronet of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
			unto Gilbert King, of Charles Town, in the county of Roscommon, Esq. and the heirs male of
			his body, lawfully begotten, with remainder to his brother, the Reverend John King, Master of
			Arts, Archdeacon of Killalay and the heirs male of his body lawfully begotten, and in default
			of such issue to Robert King, Esq. son of the late Robert King, Esq. deceased (third brother
			of the aforesaid Gilbert King), and the heirs male of his body lawfully begotten.'
			Sir Archibald Gordon Kinloch, 7th baronet
			Sir Archibald was tried in the Scottish High Court of Justiciary in 1795 on a charge of murdering
			his older brother, Sir Francis Kinloch, 6th baronet.
			The relevant section of the indictment read as follows:-
			'Sir Archibald Gordon Kinloch of Gilmerton, Bart., present prisoner in the Tolbooth of Edinburgh,
			you are indicted and accused, at the instance of Robert Dundas, Esq., of Arniston, His
			Majesty's Advocate for His Majesty's interest, that whereas, by the Laws of God, the laws of
			this and every other well-governed realm, Murder, more specifically when committed by a
			brother against a brother, is a crime of a most heinous nature, and severely punishable; Yet
			true it is and of verity that you, the said Sir Archibald Gordon Kinloch, are guilty actor, or art
			and part, of the foresaid crime, aggravated as aforesaid; in so far as, you, the said Sir
			Archibald Gordon Kinloch, being, on the 14th day of April, 1795, in the house of Gilmerton.
			belonging to the deceased Sir Francis Kinloch of Gilmerton, Bart., your brother-german [i.e. a
			full brother], situated in the parish of Athelstonford, and County of Haddington, did, on the
			night of the said 14th, or early in the morning of 15th April 1795, or on one or other of the
			days or nights of that month, or of the month of March immediately preceding, or of May
			immediately following, come down from your bed-chamber, in the house of Gilmerton aforesaid,
			to the parlour or dining-room where your said brother then was, you having, at the time, two
			loaded pistols somewhere concealed about your clothes; and having soon thereafter left the
			said parlour or dining-room, and your said brother having followed, and being then close by
			you the said Sir Archibald Gordon Kinloch, on the stair leading to the upper apartments, you
			did then and there murder the said Sir Francis Kinloch, your brother, by wickedly and
			feloniously discharging one of the said loaded pistols at your said brother, by which he received
			a mortal wound; the ball having penetrated below the point of the sternum, or breast-bone,
			towards the right side: And the said Sir Francis Kinloch having languished in great pain till the
			evening of the 16th of the said month of April, did then expire, in consequence of the wound
			given him by you, the said Sir Alexander Gordon Kinloch, and notwithstanding of every medical
			assistance having been procured.........All which, or part thereof being found proven by the
			verdict of an Assize, before the Lord Justice General, Lord Justice Clerk, and Lords
			Commissioners of Justiciary, you, the said Sir Archibald Gordon Kinloch, ought to be punished
			with the pains of law, to deter others from committing the like crimes in all time coming.'
			Kinloch's legal counsel, Mr. Hume, stated to the Court that "the nature of the defence which
			was to be offered was that, although it should be proved that he [Kinloch] was the unfortunate
			instrument of the unhappy deed charged against him, yet that at the time it was committed, he
			was in the most lamentable state of a deranged mind, so as to be totally insensible of what was
			done, and even afterwards, did not retain the smallest recollection of what had happened." He
			further stated that, while in the West Indies, [Kinloch] had been seized with a fever, from
			which time he never was considered as possessing a sound mind, but was subject to
			melancholy and fits of jealousy; and this had such an effect upon him as to make him attempt
			to take away his own life.
			Kinloch was subsequently found guilty of his brother's murder, "when their Lordships adjudged
			him to be confined in the Tolbooth of Edinburgh during all the days of his life; or, at least, until
			any friend or other person, shall become caution to secure and confine him in sure custody
			during all the days of his life, under the penalty of £10,000 sterling."
			Sir James Alexander Kirkpatrick, 10th baronet [NS 1685]
			"The Times" 5 April 1954:-
			'Nairobi, April 4 - Sir James Kirkpatrick, 10th Baronet, assistant game warden for Kenya, was
			found dead with a gunshot wound in his head at a house at Limuru, 10 miles from Nairobi, the
			police reported to-day. Near the body was a .32 automatic. He was 35.
			'The second son of Lieutenant-Colonel Harry Fearnley Kirkpatrick, D.S.O., second son of the
			eighth baronet, he was born on October 24, 1918, and was educated at Wellington College.
			During the 1939-45 War he served in the R.A.F., being mentioned in dispatches and holding
			the rank of squadron leader in the R[oyal] A[ir] F[orce] V[olunteer] R[eserve]. He succeeded
			his uncle, the late Sir Charles Sharpe Kirkpatrick, as tenth baronet in 1937. He married in 1941
			Ellen Gertrude, daughter of Captain Robert Perceval Elliott, of Ismailia. There were two sons of
			the marriage and the elder, Mr. Ivone Elliott Kirkpatrick, who was born in 1942, succeeds to
			the title.'
			"The Times" 11 May 1954:-
			'Nairobi, May 10 - A verdict of suicide while temporarily of unsound mind was returned to-day
			at the inquest of Sir James Kirkpatrick , who was found shot dead on April 3. Sir James
			Kirkpatrick, the tenth baronet, was assistant game warden for Kenya. His body was found at
			his house at Limuru, 10 miles from Nairobi with an automatic pistol lying near.'
			John Knatchbull, brother of Sir Edward Knatchbull, 9th baronet (c 1792-1844)
			The baronetcy of Knatchbull, created in 1641, has since 1917 been a subsidiary title of
			the Barons Brabourne. In Burke's Peerage, the 8th baronet is shown as having a number
			of sons, one of whom succeeded him as baronet. Apart from the first son born from his
			second marriage, another son from this marriage is described as being 'other issue.' Perhaps
			this is not surprising, since the man dismissed as being 'other issue' was hanged for murder
			in Sydney in 1844.
			John Knatchbull was probably the John Knatchbull baptized on 24 January 1793 at Norton in
			Kent, the son of Sir Edward Knatchbull, 8th baronet and his second wife, Frances. Sir
			Edward, who married three times, appears to have had at least 20 children. John was sent
			to Winchester School before he joined the Navy as a volunteer in August 1804. Over the
			next fourteen years, he served with distinction in a variety of naval vessels, but he appears
			to have been a brutal officer. Ultimately he was court-martialled for brutality, was found
			guilty and he had to resign his commission.
			At the Surrey Assizes on 21 August 1824, Knatchbull was convicted, under the name of
			John Fitch, of 'stealing with force and arms' and sentenced to 14 years transportation. He
			arrived in Sydney in April 1825 and was sent to Bathurst, 120 miles west of Sydney, where
			in November 1826 he was appointed constable to the mail service between Bathurst and
			Mount York. He gained an early 'ticket-of-leave' (a document which allowed well-behaved
			convicts certain freedoms) by tricking eight fellow convicts into an escape attempt and then
			informing on them. Armed with his ticket-of-leave, he made his way to Liverpool (20 miles
			south-west of Sydney).
			On 31 December 1831, he was charged with forging a Judge's signature to a cheque drawn
			on the Royal Bank of Australia. Found guilty, he was sentenced to death on 22 February
			1832, but the sentence was commuted to seven years' transportation to Norfolk Island.
			While waiting for the ship, the Governor Philip to sail to Norfolk Island, Knatchbull instigated
			a plot to capture the ship once it sailed. About 4 lb of arsenic was smuggled aboard and it
			was Knatchbull's intention to poison the crew of the ship. After the ship had sailed, he tried
			to put his plan into effect but was betrayed and Knatchbull was handcuffed to the
			mainbrace for the rest of the voyage.
			Within a year he hatched another escape plot. It was planned that the convicts would
			capture the entire island (Norfolk Island is only about 13 square miles), then board and
			capture the first government ship which arrived and then sail away to freedom. The mutiny
			failed and Knatchbull, true to form, offered to give evidence against his fellow convicts.
			Thirteen men were hanged as a result.
			In 1839 his sentence expired and he was returned to Sydney. Ordinarily he would have been
			sent to a road-gang, but he pleaded illness and was sent to Port Macquarie instead. In
			July 1842, he was again given a ticket-of-leave and returned to Sydney, where he was
			offered the job as master of a coastal cutter. In order to take this job, he had to obtain the
			permission of the Governor, Sir George Gipps, who granted it, being aware that Knatchbull's
			half-brother was by now a Cabinet Minister back in London.
			Meanwhile, Knatchbull had persuaded a young widow, Mrs Craig, to marry him, but he had no
			money - his landlord was pressing him for the rent and he had nothing with which to pay for
			the impending wedding. On 6 January 1844, he took a tomahawk and entered a chandler's
			shop owned by Mrs Ellen Jamieson, where he attacked her and stole her savings. Mrs
			Jamieson died twelve days later and Knatchbull was charged with murder.
			He was defended at his trial by Robert Lowe (later Viscount Sherbrooke) who submitted that
			Knatchbull suffered from a brain disease. As far as I am aware, this was the first occasion
			in any British-style court that a plea of moral insanity was raised. However, the jury found
			Knatchbull guilty without even leaving the box. He then appealed unsuccessfully against the
			sentence on the ground that the judge had not directed that his body be dissected and
			anatomized after execution, thus making the sentence illegal.
			His hanging, which took place on 13 February 1844, was Sydney's social event of the year.
			Another brother, Charles Knatchbull, appears in the columns of The Times during 1823 and
			1834, featuring in trials in which he was charged with obtaining money by false pretences
			and theft.
			For further reading on the life of John Knatchbull, I recommend "John Knatchbull; Quarterdeck
			to Gallows" by Colin Roderick (Angus & Robertson, Sydney, 1963).
			The special remainder to the baronetcy of Knightley created in 1798
			From the "London Gazette" of 26 December 1797 (issue 14077, page 1231):-
			'The King has been pleased to grant the Dignity of a Baronet of the Kingdom of Great Britain to
			John Knightley, of Fawsley in the County of Northumberland, Clerk, and to the Heirs Male of
			his Body lawfully begotten; with Remainder, in Default of such Issue, to the Heirs Male of the
			Body of Charles Knightley, of Preston Capes in the said County, Clerk, deceased, Brother of the
			said John Knightley, and to the Heirs Male of their Bodies lawfully begotten.'
			Sir John Stuart Knill, 3rd baronet
			Sir Stuart (he apparently did not use his first name) succeeded to the baronetcy in 1934, but,
			at about the same time, he appears to have lost his entire fortune. In the 'Sydney Morning
			Herald' of 12 April 1937, a short article states that 'The "Daily Mirror" gives prominence to a
			story that Sir John Stuart Knill, who, four years ago, had an estate in Hertfordshire and an
			income of £4,000 a year, now runs a bric-a-brac stall in the Caledonian market. The newspaper
			says a good week's income for him now is £1, including a fee of 5s 3d on Sundays for
			sweeping the streets of Chelsea, and that he often goes for a day without a meal.'
			But somehow Sir Stuart managed to survive. We next meet with him in February 1951, when he
			was battling to avoid eviction from his residence. On 16 February 1951, the 'Sydney Morning
			Herald' reported that 'A baronet who once owned a 2,000-acre estate in Hertfordshire,
			chauffeur-driven cars, and had an income of £4,000 a year, said yesterday that he and his
			family were now living of £2/16/2 national assistance a week. The baronet, Sir John Stuart Knill,
			64, was appearing at the Stonehaven (Scotland) Sheriff Court to resist a claim by his landlady
			for eviction. The landlady….said that in the £1 a week, partly furnished room which Sir John and
			his family occupied [in Lauriston Castle, Kincardineshire], he kept 14 rabbits, 16 spaniel puppies,
			mice, and a cat. She claimed that Sir John did not pay his rent regularly, but, while receiving
			public assistance, had offered to buy the castle. A witness said that Sir John's wife, Lady
			Ruth, had begged scraps from a neighbour, claiming "we have not eaten all day." ……Sir John
			has been a postman, road-sweeper, and stallholder in a London market since he lost his
			fortune.'
			Unfortunately for Sir Stuart, his fight against his eviction was unsuccessful, but he managed
			somehow, since on 10 March 1962, the following article appeared in the 'Chicago Daily
			Tribune' :-
			'Sir John Stuart Knill, an aristocrat hit by hard times after World War I, said today he is trying
			to recoup his lost fortune by hypnotizing his wife so she can win the weekly soccer pool. Each
			Sunday, Knill, 75, puts on his best tartan kilt, sets his wife in a chair facing a blank television
			set in their tiny living room and hypnotizes her. She stares at the blank screen and tries to
			"see" the winning combination.
			'So far the pursuit of riches in England's national pastime has failed to yield the results they
			hope for but this has not dampened their enthusiasm. One of their problems, Knill said, is that
			they can afford to wager only 32 cents a week. This means they have to name eight soccer
			teams that tie to strike it rich. If they name eight they receive $840,000 under the pool betting
			system. "We have had 48 per cent correct results and we are going on and doing better," he
			said. "We think our forecasts for tomorrow will be the best ever."
			'Both feel that their lack of success may be due to poor reception by Lady Knill. "It seems to
			depend on the weather for accuracy," she said. "On a dull day I have a job to "read" the
			results. Normally, when he hypnotizes me the TV set appears to be switched on. Sometimes
			it seems so bright that I have to ask him to tone it down."
			'Knill, son of a former lord mayor of London, and a descendant of Queen Mary of Scotland, once
			owned a castle and entertained royalty before he lost his fortune. Now he is the only baronet
			in England who lives in a public housing project. He said he turned to his new money making
			scheme after successive careers as a road-sweeper, postman, vendor, and cat breeder proved
			unrewarding. Lady Knill works as a dishwasher in a local café.'
			Given Sir Stuart's financial woes, it seems quite appropriate that the family motto is "Nil
			Desperandum."
