| Extinct on his death | ||||||
| Sir William Yorke, 1st and only baronet | ||||||
| 'The London Chronicle' of 5 October 1776:- | ||||||
| 'The death of Sir William Yorke, late Lord Chief Justice of Ireland, was owing to a mistake of his | ||||||
| servant. Sir William was grievously afflicted with the stone, and in a very severe fit he used to | ||||||
| take a certain quantity of drops of laudanum. On Monday evening last he called for his usual | ||||||
| remedy, during the most racking pains of his distemper; the drops could not be found. The | ||||||
| servant was dispatched to his apothecary at Brentford, but instead of laudanum drops he asked | ||||||
| for laudanum; a quantity was sent, with special charge not to give Sir William more than 24 | ||||||
| drops. The fellow forgetting the caution, gave the bottle into his master's hand, who in his | ||||||
| agony drank up the whole contents of the bottle, and expired in less than an hour after.' | ||||||
| Sir David Yule, 1st and only baronet | ||||||
| In legal proceedings after his death, Yule was described as "the wealthiest man in India and | ||||||
| probably in the British Empire." Because of his wealth, his estate was extremely large, and | ||||||
| therefore extremely attractive to the revenue authorities, which sought to claim the duty on | ||||||
| the estate. In this they were opposed by his widow. The question turned on where Sir David's | ||||||
| place of domicile was found to be - India, England or Scotland, where he was born. | ||||||
| The case was heard by Mr. Justice Rowlatt in November 1930. The following, edited, report | ||||||
| appeared in "The Times" on 14 November 1930:- | ||||||
| 'His Lordship gave judgment for the Crown on the claim to duty on the estate of the late Sir | ||||||
| David Yule, Bt., who died on Jul 3, 1928. The question involved was whether Sir David Yule had | ||||||
| acquired a domicile in India and, if so, whether he had abandoned it and acquired a domicile of | ||||||
| choice in England or had revived his Scottish domicile of origin. | ||||||
| 'Mr. Justice Rowlatt, in giving judgment, said that the case was one in which he had heard, and | ||||||
| properly heard, a great deal of detailed evidence, but the result could be put under broad | ||||||
| heads. The case was one in which it was necessary to be careful lest one "failed to see the | ||||||
| wood for the trees." | ||||||
| 'In one or two respects, but only in one or two, the case was unique. The great success of Sir | ||||||
| David Yule, the enormous fortune which he had made, might have been unique, as might his | ||||||
| character in its strength and ability. The other respect in which the case was unique was the | ||||||
| degree to which Sir David Yule managed to penetrate the division which normally kept Euro- | ||||||
| peans in India from close domestic and social intimacy with Indian families. In other respects | ||||||
| the story was one of a very successful Anglo-Indian merchant of British blood making his | ||||||
| fortune in India, which was not very different from other lives of the same sort. | ||||||
| 'The Crown started with the Scottish domicile of origin, and the question was whether it had | ||||||
| been proved by the respondents that the testator exchanged it for a domicile in India. The | ||||||
| onus of proving that was a very considerable one and had to be discharged with clearness. | ||||||
| 'One approached a case of that kind keeping clearly in view that it was one of an Englishman | ||||||
| said to have obtained a domicile in a hot Oriental country. There was no reason in law why he | ||||||
| should not do so, but it was less usual in fact than the acquisition of a new domicile in a | ||||||
| temperate climate such as Canada. | ||||||
| 'Domicile was a difficult conception, but the question might roughly be put in the form: "Did | ||||||
| this man become a settler in the country, or was he only a sojourner there?" The case fell to be | ||||||
| considered with regard to one or two periods. The respondents contended that he had acquired | ||||||
| an Indian domicile by 1900, when he came home and got married, and that he could not be said | ||||||
| subsequently to have abandoned it; or, it was said that the whole period up to his death | ||||||
| supported the contention of Indian domicile. But whatever period was taken, it was necessary | ||||||
| to look at acts done afterwards as evidence of the intention of acts done before that period. | ||||||
| So if one looked to 1900 as the material date, one could not shut out acts done afterwards. | ||||||
| 'Sir David Yule had two uncles who were prosperous Indian merchants, and it was under their | ||||||
| auspices, and especially under the auspices of Mr. George Yule, that he went out to Calcutta | ||||||
| at the age of 17. Mr. George Yule threw himself very much into Indian life and had great | ||||||
| sympathy with Indian aims, and probably impressed upon his young nephew the importance of | ||||||
| not holding himself aloof but of getting to know not only those with whom he must do business, | ||||||
| but the people of the country. He was very properly imbued with those views, and he did | ||||||
| succeed in putting himself on level terms with the Indians. | ||||||
| 'He (his Lordship) had a little difficulty in seeing how far that bore on the question of domicile. | ||||||
| Did it amount to more than that he had made very close friends in the country? The allegation | ||||||
| that he did not affect European society was hardly borne out, for Lady Yule had stated that | ||||||
| when she went out after her marriage, though they did not entertain much, Europeans | ||||||
| occasionally dined with them. It did not appear that he was averse from Europeans; he simply | ||||||
| was not a social man. It was not suggested in any way that he departed from the habits of an | ||||||
| Englishman, which were valued rather highly, and became Orientalized in outlook or habits. No | ||||||
| doubt, whether in his house at Garden Reach [a suburb of Calcutta], or in his flat over the | ||||||
| offices in Clive-row, he lived the life of an ordinary Englishman. | ||||||
| 'He stuck to business with enormous tenacity, and did not take a holiday, except once in 25 | ||||||
| years - that was what it amounted to. When he did come home in 1900 his prospects were all | ||||||
| in India and, if India had been wiped out, there would have been very little left for him. That | ||||||
| was all very true: he had then not much interest outside India. But had he become a settler | ||||||
| there? One must look at what followed. Did he put aside the idea of marrying his cousin and | ||||||
| what it might lead to? Was it likely that at 42 he would come to the clear decision of being a | ||||||
| Calcutta man and nothing else? He (his Lordship) could not have come to that conclusion even | ||||||
| if the testator had died in 1900. | ||||||
| 'But, in fact, he married, and the sticking close to his desk in Calcutta came to an end. He was | ||||||
| still the unexampled worker, the untiring man of business, but from that time more at home than | ||||||
| in India. | ||||||
| 'When the case was opened he (his Lordship) was not sure whether there was not going to be | ||||||
| some colour of this sort: that Mrs. Yule, as she then was, having gone to India, found it very | ||||||
| dull and came home without even trying; and that he, being wrapped up in his business and | ||||||
| finding that his wife would not share his life, had more or less cast her off. | ||||||
| 'Neither of those ideas seemed to him to be in the least true. His wife came home because she | ||||||
| was desperately ill, and it was quite impossible for her to stay in India. On the other hand, it | ||||||
| would be most unjust to Sir David Yule's memory to suggest that because of his business in | ||||||
| India he in any way ignored his wife and daughter. His duties as husband and father were | ||||||
| perfectly properly kept up. All those 25 years he had a house in England and an office in | ||||||
| London, and nearly always a fishing in Scotland. In Calcutta he had, of course, also a flat over | ||||||
| his office. | ||||||
| 'From the moment of his arrival home in 1902 he was a director of the Mercantile Bank of India. | ||||||
| It was because he was an Indian magnate that he was asked to join the board, but the fact | ||||||
| remained that he had a big London business life, and it was difficult to see how, in the latter | ||||||
| part of his life, it could be argued that he was not more predominantly English than Indian. | ||||||
| 'Of more importance than the fact that the testator struck out his address at Hanstead House | ||||||
| from his draft will was the fact that he was de facto in possession of Hanstead House and was | ||||||
| rated and registered as a voter in respect of it. The declaration of domicile in the will was of | ||||||
| more importance, but he doubted whether Sir David Yule understood what domicile meant. The | ||||||
| fortunate ones who did so were few. He only meant that his centre of gravity, as it were, was | ||||||
| in India. All his life he had looked with great interest and affection on India, regarding himself, | ||||||
| perhaps, as a creature of India, but circumstances were too strong for him. He had a wife and | ||||||
| daughter in England, and came to visit them whenever he could, and he had business interests | ||||||
| in England. Whatever dreams he might have had of ultimately acquiring a house in Calcutta and | ||||||
| persuading his wife and daughter to go and live there could not outweigh the actual facts. | ||||||
| 'The onus on the respondents had not been discharged, and he must declare that Sir David | ||||||
| Yule died domiciled in the United Kingdom, because he had never lost his domicile of origin. That | ||||||
| amounted to judgment for the Crown.....' | ||||||
| Lady Yule appealed this decision, but her appeal was dismissed in March 1931. | ||||||
