Sir Thomas George Apreece, 2nd baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When
Sir Thomas died by his own hand in December 1842, he left a will in which his
entire |
|
|
|
estate
was left to St. George's Hospital at Hyde Park Corner. No relatives were
mentioned in |
|
|
|
the will. Not surprisingly, the will was
challenged in the Courts, on the grounds of the late |
|
|
|
baronet's alleged insanity. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There
seems to be little doubt that Sir Thomas was insane. One death notice, which |
|
|
|
|
appeared in the 'Kentish Observer' after his
suicide, reads as follows:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir
Thomas Apreece had for many years laboured under the delusion that he should
live to |
|
|
|
an
extreme old age, and be the subject of imbecility and decrepitude, of which
he had a |
|
|
|
|
great dread and horror. A disappointment in
love is said to have been the original cause of |
|
|
|
Sir Thomas Apreece's aberration of intellect;
hence he was usually called the "mad baronet," |
|
|
|
and the "woman-hater"; and yet he
required his housekeeper, a very handsome woman, to |
|
|
|
sleep in his bed-room, with five or six wax
candles burning. It appears that the deceased |
|
|
|
|
had many peculiarities; that his pulse was only
45, his circulation very languid, his head very |
|
|
|
hot, his lower extremities very cold. Also,
that he delighted in talking upon surgical subjects; |
|
|
|
in demonstrating the brain of rabbits etc. Sir
Thomas generally dined at 11 a.m., and was |
|
|
|
|
often in the habit of riding on horseback, with
his secretary and groom, half the night. He |
|
|
|
never
permitted a man-servant to sleep under his roof. It is also said that he had
the |
|
|
|
|
largest collection of reports of suicides in
the world. The unfortunate deceased had literally |
|
|
|
blown
his head to pieces - his teeth and portions of the brain being scattered
about the |
|
|
|
|
room.' |

The following edited report is taken from the
'Leeds Mercury' of 9 August 1845:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'One
of the most prolonged arguments with respect to the will of a deceased
wealthy |
|
|
|
|
baronet has been in progress the greater part
of the last week. The deceased was Sir |
|
|
|
|
G.R. De Apreece, Bart. [sic], and though most
wealthy, it appears that he lived in a style |
|
|
|
|
infintely inferior to the position in which
such wealth placed him. He had large landed |
|
|
|
|
property in Essex, in Hampshire, and other
counties. His freehold property is worth from |
|
|
|
|
£180,000 to £190,000, and he left a personal
estate of something short of £25,000. From |
|
|
|
the pleas it appeared that the baronet from his
youth up was exceedingly eccentric. The |
|
|
|
|
will
in dispute, and which is opposed by a sister (Mrs. Peacock) was executed at a
|
|
|
|
|
fishmonger's shop in the neighbourhood of
Fleet-street, the parties who were witnesses to |
|
|
|
it
being entire strangers. The document, it is true, was duly attested, but it
gave the |
|
|
|
|
property,
real and personal, to St. George's Hospital, excepting two legacies to the |
|
|
|
|
executors. In bar of the validity of the will
insanity is alleged. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
number of witnesses examined, and documentary evidence brought forward, is |
|
|
|
|
unparelleled, not less than 74 witnesses having
been produced and examined upon one plea. |
|
|
|
If reliance is to be placed upon the immense
mass of letters which have been brought |
|
|
|
|
forward in support of the will, unquestionably
St. George's Hospital will reap a rich harvest |
|
|
|
by the distribution. But the deceased baronet,
it appears, for years contemplated self- |
|
|
|
|
destruction, and ultimately died by his own
hand. He had carefully collected for years what |
|
|
|
he called a "Fact Book," in which
were pasted all the accounts of murders, suicides, and |
|
|
|
|
dreadful
accidents. From the proof that monomania upon such subjects existed in the |
|
|
|
|
testator's mind, the sister of the deceased has
proceeded to oppose the will. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Among
the arguments brought forward to prove insanity were a constant fluctuation
of |
|
|
|
|
intention, a degree of wilfulness in character
and irritable temperament, wholly inconsistent |
|
|
|
with what may be considered a sound state of
mind, eccentricities the most remarkable, |
|
|
|
|
and
incoherency of conduct. Take, for instance, his fury at meals, swearing at
the cook |
|
|
|
|
and
the servants for viands prepared for him and subsequently eating them. On one
|
|
|
|
|
occasion
he threw a hare on the fire, took it off again, and forced the leg down the |
|
|
|
|
servant's back, saying it was a mouse. A vast
variety of similar eccentricities were brought |
|
|
|
forward. But on the other side, the documentary
evidence is produced to show capacity.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The matter was eventually decided in the
Prerogative Court on 14 August 1846. This report |
|
|
|
appeared in the 'Ipswich Journal' of 15 August
1846:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'…..judgment
was given by Sir Herbert Jenner Fust in the case of the will of Sir Thomas |
|
|
|
|
Apreece. The testator, who succeeded to the
title in 1831 [sic - 1833], had acted as high |
|
|
|
sheriff
for the county of Cambridge, and was 51 years of age, on the 30th of
December, |
|
|
|
|
1842, when he committed suicide. He died
possessed of large freehold estates in the |
|
|
|
|
counties of Huntingdon, Leicestershire, Essex etc., of the value
of from £200,000 to |
|
|
|
|
£300,000, and of personal property to the
amount of £24,000, of which from £12,000 to |
|
|
|
|
£13,000 was in the hands of his bankers. By his
will the whole of this great property was |
|
|
|
|
bequeathed to St. George's Hospital, at
Hyde-park corner, with legacies of £100 to each of |
|
|
|
the executors, one of whom had released in
order to be examined in the suit. The executors |
|
|
|
were
directed by the will to sell the whole of the estates, and the proceeds, with
the |
|
|
|
|
personal property, to be paid over as stated. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mrs.
Peacock, the sister of the deceased, and only next of kin, opposed the will.
The Court |
|
|
|
was asked to decide that the testator was
insane from early youth, more especially in |
|
|
|
|
consequence of propensities, the nature of
which need not be stated. Mr. Foster, who |
|
|
|
|
prepared the will, had constant intercourse
with the deceased upon matters of business, |
|
|
|
|
and in his evidence, stated that when the
subject of the will was under consideration, he |
|
|
|
never thought of testing his capacity - that he
considered him eccentric and sly, but never |
|
|
|
questioned his capacity. That the deceased was
most eccentric and extravagant was |
|
|
|
|
certain. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
Court could not hold that moral insanity alone would be sufficient to
invalidate a will. |
|
|
|
Upon this point, Dr. Conolly and Mr. Lawrence
had been examined in this case, and to their |
|
|
|
opinion
the Court was bound to pay deference. They were of opinion that tendency of
blood |
|
|
|
to the head predisposed the subject to
insanity. Moral insanity [i.e. where intellectual |
|
|
|
|
faculties were unaffected, but where the moral
principles of the mind were "depraved or |
|
|
|
|
perverted"]
was not yet received in these courts as a reason for invalidating a will |
|
|
|
|
regularly
made [one, albeit American, legal dictionary published in 1856 states that it
has |
|
|
|
been judicially declared a 'groundless
theory']. Therefore probate must be granted to the |
|
|
|
|
executors, and the costs on both sides be paid
out of the estate.' |

Sir George Compton Archibald Arthur, 3rd
baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Although one of my special areas of interest is
the murders perpetrated by 'Jack the |
|
|
|
|
Ripper,' I was surprised to find, in an obscure
New Zealand newspaper, the report which |
|
|
|
|
is shown below. I can find no mention of this
incident in any contemporary English papers, |
|
|
|
nor does it appear in any of the large range of
books in my library that deal with the |
|
|
|
|
Ripper murders. I therefore recommend that it
should be read with a certain degree of |
|
|
|
|
skepticism. The report, which appeared in the
'Tuapeka Times' of 27 March 1889 reads as |
|
|
|
follows:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
most intense amusement has been caused among all classes of the London world
by |
|
|
|
|
the arrest last week of little Sir George
Arthur on suspicion of being the Whitechapel |
|
|
|
|
murderer. Sir George is a young baronet,
holding a captaincy in the Royal House [Horse?] |
|
|
|
|
Guards, and is a member of most of the leading
clubs in town. He is also a well-known |
|
|
|
|
amateur actor, and was a great friend of the
late Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany. Since |
|
|
|
|
the past few weeks, the old mania for
'slumming' in Whitechapel has become fashionable |
|
|
|
|
again.
Every night scores of young men who have never been to the East End before in
|
|
|
|
|
their lives prowl round the neighbourhood in
which the murders were committed, talking |
|
|
|
|
with the frightened women and pushing their way
into overcrowded lodging-houses. So |
|
|
|
|
long as any two men keep together, and do not
make a nuisance of themselves, the police |
|
|
|
do not interfere with them. But if a man goes
alone and tries to lure a woman off the |
|
|
|
|
street
into a secluded corner to talk with her, he is pretty sure to get into
trouble. That |
|
|
|
|
was the case with Sir George Arthur. He put on
an old shooting coat, a slouch hat, and |
|
|
|
|
went down to Whitechapel for a little fun. He
got it. It occurrred to two policemen that |
|
|
|
|
Sir George answered very much the description
of Jack the Ripper. They watched him, and |
|
|
|
when they saw him talking with women they
proceeded to collar him. He protested, |
|
|
|
|
expostulated, and threatened them with the
vengeance of Royal wrath, but in vain. Finally, |
|
|
|
a chance was given him to send to a fashionable
western club to prove his identity, and |
|
|
|
|
he was released with profuse apologies for the
mistake. The affair was kept out of the |
|
|
|
|
newspapers. But the jolly young Baronet's
friends at Brook's Club considered the joke too |
|
|
|
|
good to be kept quiet. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir
George is quite a figure in his way in London. He is a son of the late Sir
Frederick Arthur, |
|
|
|
who was an influential man in his day. Sir
George was conspicuous on the turf a few years |
|
|
|
ago, and was intimately associated with the
Dowager Duchess of Montrose. He then turned |
|
|
|
his attention to theatricals, and when the
Bancrofts produced 'Fedora' they allowed Sir |
|
|
|
|
George to appear as the corpse.' |

Sir Fenton John Aylmer VC, 13th baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Aylmer was a Captain in the Royal Corps of
Engineers in the Indian Army when he was |
|
|
|
|
awarded the Victoria Cross in 1891 during the
Hunza-Naga Campaign in what is today |
|
|
|
|
northern Pakistan. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On 2 December 1891, during the assault on Nilt
Fort, Aylmer blew open the inner gate of |
|
|
|
|
the fort by placing gun-cotton next to it and
then igniting the gun-cotton. Although |
|
|
|
|
severely wounded, he killed several of the
enemy with his revolver and remained fighting |
|
|
|
|
until, collapsing through loss of blood, he was
carried to safety. |
