Sir Cholmeley Dering, 4th baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following is based upon the Wikipedia entry
for Sir Cholmeley Dering. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On 7 May 1711, Sir Cholmeley Dering was dining
at an inn near Hampton Court when he |
|
|
|
|
became involved in a dispute with Richard
Thornhill. As the argument became more heated, |
|
|
|
the two men came to blows and in the ensuing
struggle Thornhill received a kick in the mouth |
|
|
|
from Dering, causing him to lose several teeth.
After the fight had been broken up by both |
|
|
|
parties' companions, Thornhill challenged Dering
to a duel, which took place on the morning of |
|
|
|
9 May 1711 at Tothil Fields in Westminster.
According to 'The Spectator' (number 84, 6 June |
|
|
|
1711), Dering and Thornhill fought so close that
their pistols touched each other. Dering was |
|
|
|
wounded and died shortly thereafter. Thornhill
was tried and convicted of manslaughter, but |
|
|
|
three months later was murdered by two men on
Turnham Green, apparently in a revenge |
|
|
|
attack, since it was reported by Jonathan Swift,
in his 'Journal to Stella' that, as the two men |
|
|
|
stabbed Thornhill to death, they bade him
remember Sir Cholmeley Dering. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A fuller account can be found in the records of
the London Central Criminal Court, which |
|
|
|
|
reads:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Richard Thornhill of St. Margaret's
Westminster, was Indicted for the Murder of Sir Cholmeley |
|
|
|
Deering, Baronet, by giving him one Mortal Wound
under the Right Pap with a leaden Bullet |
|
|
|
discharg'd from a Pistol, on the 9th instant, of
which he soon after died. He was likewise |
|
|
|
|
Indicted upon the Coroner's Inquest for the
Murder aforesaid. It appeared by the Evidence, |
|
|
|
that the Prisoner and the Deceased were at the
Toy at Hampton Court with about 15 other |
|
|
|
Gentlemen, on the 27th of April: That there they
dined very friendly together, but towards |
|
|
|
the Evening some Words happen'd between them.
Upon which the Deceased struck the |
|
|
|
|
Prisoner in the Face, beat him down, and when he
arose, his Lip was observ'd to be swell'd, |
|
|
|
and several of his Teeth out. A Drawer hearing a
noise, came up, and found the Prisoner and |
|
|
|
the Deceased against the Wainscot of the Room,
but immediately parted by the Gentlemen. |
|
|
|
After this they sat down, and seemed to be
friendly again, but look'd a little disturb'd. This |
|
|
|
Evidence further depos'd, that as they sat
together, the Prisoner said, Sir Cholmeley, ypu |
|
|
|
know where to find me. Upon which Sir Cholmeley
reply'd, I know not where to find you; and |
|
|
|
then the Prisoner gave him the Lie. This witness
observ'd the Prisoner's Lip much swelled |
|
|
|
|
before the giving the Lie, but saw not the Blows
given. It further appear'd, that the Deceased |
|
|
|
seemed to beg the Prisoner's Pardon at that
time; but the Prisoner told him, asking of Pardon |
|
|
|
was not Satisfaction for the Loss of his Teeth.
As to the Fact: It appear'd that the Prisoner |
|
|
|
and the Deceased were seen in Tuttle Fields,
about 12 Yards distance from one another, with |
|
|
|
Pistols in their Hands, that they advanced very
boldly toward each other till they were within |
|
|
|
4 yards, and then fir'd at one another. That the
Deceased dropt, and the Prisoner lifting up his |
|
|
|
Hands in token of Sorrow, willingly surrender'd
himself, and offer'd one a Guinea, and another a |
|
|
|
Half-Guinea to go for a Surgeon. It further
appear'd, that a Surgeon was sent for, who dress'd |
|
|
|
the Deceased's Wound upon the Spot, and sent him
in a Chair to a Gardiner's House. He being |
|
|
|
ask'd by several of his Friends, as well as
others, the Occasion of the Dewel, reply'd to this |
|
|
|
effect: That the Prisoner was a Man of Honour,
and acted like a Gentleman; and desir'd his |
|
|
|
Friends to be spoke to, least one Misfortune
should follow another, and that he heartily |
|
|
|
|
forgave him, etc. It further appear'd, that he
said he was challeng'd, but gave no Account |
|
|
|
after what manner, whether by Word of Mouth or
by Writing. Neither did it appear from him |
|
|
|
by whom he was challeng'd, but when his Papers
were taken out of his Pocket, a Relation of |
|
|
|
his had receiv'd one, among the rest. (but from
what hand he did not know) which he put |
|
|
|
into his Pocket, and read after the Deceased was
dead, and found it to be a Challenge. It is |
|
|
|
as follows. |

your Sword and a Brace of Pistols, which I
insist on. The worthy Gentleman who brings this |
|
|
|
will concert with you for the Time and Place. I
think Tuttle Fields may do well. Hide Park is at |

this time of Year full of Company. I am Your

|
'This Challenge being produced in Court, a
Person of Honour, one of the Prisoner's intimate |
|
|
|
Friends, who had seen his Hand frequently, being
ask'd whether he believ'd it to be the |
|
|
|
|
Prisoner's Hand, reply'd, that according to the
best of his Knowledge it was not, for he us'd |
|
|
|
to write in another sort of Character, but a
Foot-boy belonging to the Prisoner having the |
|
|
|
Letter shewn to him, said he did believe it to
be his Master's Writing, upon which it was read. |
|
|
|
|
|

|
|

'The Prisoner in his Defence produc'd Evidence,
to prove how much he was abus'd by the |
|
|
|
|
Deceas'd; how that from the time of his Wounds
given, he hath lain in inexpressible Pain and |
|
|
|
Anguish, so that he could take only Broth and
small Beer, for almost a Fortnight, for his |
|
|
|
|
Sustenance, was thrown into a Fever, and his
Life dispair'd of, and his Jaw-bone at this time |
|
|
|
in great Danger of mortifying, and the Necessity
of loosing more of his Teeth. He further |
|
|
|
|
prov'd that the Morning the Dewel was fought,
the Deceas'd sought after him, came at 6 in |
|
|
|
the Morning to Kensington, where he formerly
lodg'd, to enquire where he then lodg'd; that he |
|
|
|
came by 7 to his Lodging in a Hackney-Coach,
with a Brace of Pistols in his Hands; went in, |
|
|
|
and run up the Satirs, and was let into his
Dining-Room. Upon which the Servant acquainted |
|
|
|
the Prisoner, that Sir Cholmeley was there, that
the Prisoner then got up, and ask'd him |
|
|
|
|
whether he would drink a Dish of Tea, or any
small Beer, the Deceas'd chose the latter; and |
|
|
|
when he had drunk, and the Prisoner was dress'd,
they both went down and took the same |
|
|
|
Coach the Deceas'd came in, and went directly to
the Place where they fought the Dewel; |
|
|
|
and as to the written Challenge, the Boy that
swore to it, swore likewise, that he never saw |
|
|
|
him write it in all his Life time, and so might
possibly be mistaken. The Prisoner likewise |
|
|
|
|
produc'd a great Number of Witnesses, Men of
Quality, that had been his intimate Friends |
|
|
|
and Acquaintances from a Boy; all which gave him
the Character of a very kind, affable and |
|
|
|
courteous Gentleman, never given to Quarrelling
in the least: And on the contrary, produced |
|
|
|
Evidence, who prov'd the Deceas'd was unhappy
that way; he likewise produc'd Evidence, |
|
|
|
who proved his Serviceableness to the Deceas'd
in his Election for Member of Parliament, of |
|
|
|
his expending several Hundreds of Pounds in his
Service, and procuring about 800 Votes for |
|
|
|
him; and that there had been an entire
Friendship between them. Till this sad Accident. After |
|
|
|
the Trial was over, the Jury went out; but
return'd to be inform'd, whether there was two, or |
|
|
|
four Pistols mentioned by the Witnesses; and the
Witness to the Fact being call'd up, depos'd, |
|
|
|
that there was four Pistols found in the Field:
Upon which they went out again; and in a little |
|
|
|
time return'd, and found him guilty of
Manslaughter only.' |

Sir Charles Wentworth Dilke, 2nd baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In July 1885 Sir Charles, who was a Cabinet
minister in Gladstone's administration and thought |
|
|
|
by many to be a future Prime Minister, was
accused of seducing Virginia Crawford, wife of |
|
|
|
Donald Crawford (MP for Lanarkshire North East
1885-1895). This was alleged to have |
|
|
|
|
happened in 1882 when Virginia was only 19. She
claimed the affair continued on an irregular |
|
|
|
basis for the next two and a half years. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dilke had, both before and after his first
marriage, been the lover of Virginia's mother, Ellen |
|
|
|
Eustace Smith. The accusations of his
relationship with Virginia destroyed Dilke's political |
|
|
|
|
career, and caused him to lose his parliamentary
seat at the 1886 general election. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Inevitably, Donald Crawford petitioned for a
divorce. The only evidence offered was her |
|
|
|
|
husband's account of Virginia's confession -
Virginia was not in Court - and some vague |
|
|
|
|
accounts made by the servants. Dilke did not
give evidence, probably because of his |
|
|
|
|
vulnerability over his affair with Virginia's
mother. The Judge, Mr Justice Butt, said "I cannot |
|
|
|
see any case whatsoever against Sir Charles
Dilke." In a masterpiece of paradox, he found |
|
|
|
that although Virginia had been guilty of
adultery with Dilke, there was no admissable evidence |
|
|
|
which proved that Dilke had been guilty of
adultery with Virginia. He therefore dismissed Dilke |
|
|
|
from the case and granted Crawford his divorce. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The paradoxical nature of Mr Justice Butts'
finding left doubts hanging over Dilke's |
|
|
|
|
respectability. He therefore sought to clear his
name by applying, in April 1886, via the Queen's |
|
|
|
Proctor, to annul Crawford's decree nisi before
it became absolute. Unfortunately for Dilke, his |
|
|
|
legal team blundered badly. Though they planned
to subject Virginia to rigorous cross- |
|
|
|
|
examination, Dilke, having been dismissed from
the case in the first hearing before Mr Justice |
|
|
|
Butt, had no standing, since he was not a
defendant, merely a witness, and he proved to be |
|
|
|
an unconvincing one under devastating
cross-examination by Henry Matthews (later Viscount |
|
|
|
Llandaff). The jury found, after only 15 minutes
deliberation, that the decree absolute should |
|
|
|
be granted. Dilke was ruined and for a time
seemed likely to be tried for perjury. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the trial, various rumours circulated
about Dilke's alleged sex-life - for example, he had |
|
|
|
invited a maidservant to engage in 'troilism',
where he had introduced her to 'every kind of |
|
|
|
French vice.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dilke spent much of the remainder of his life
and much of his fortune in trying to exonerate |
|
|
|
himself. He returned to Parliament in 1892 and
remained an MP until his death in 1911. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In hindsight, the balance of opinion today
appears to be that it was likely that Virginia lied. |
|
|
|
She (and her sisters) appear to have been
promiscuous. They are reputed to have visited a |
|
|
|
Knightsbridge brothel where they met a Captain
Henry Foster. One theory has been proposed |
|
|
|
that it was to protect Foster that Dilke was
falsely named. Other theories have implicated the |
|
|
|
Earl of Rosebery and Joseph Chamberlain. |

Sir Tristram Dillington, 5th baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Dillington baronets lived at Knighton
Gorges, one of the largest houses on the Isle of |
|
|
|
|
Wight, situated near Sandown on the island's
eastern coast. The house itself was demolished |
|
|
|
in 1821 by its then-owner, whose daughter had
married a clergyman without his permission. In |
|
|
|
order to prevent the daughter from inheriting
the house, the owner had it torn down and all |
|
|
|
that remains today are two stone gateposts.
These gateposts feature in ghost stories, usually |
|
|
|
being sighted with gargoyles being perched atop
them, even though no such gargoyles exist. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The area around the demolished house is said to
be haunted by various ghosts, and even the |
|
|
|
vanished house is said to reappear on occasions.
One story has it that a man was out walking |
|
|
|
when he came across a large house and, peering
through a window, saw a crowded drawing- |
|
|
|
room full of revellers in Georgian costume. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The last of the Dillington baronets was Sir
Tristram, the 5th baronet. He is alleged to have |
|
|
|
committed suicide in 1721. The cause of his
suicide is variously stated to be grief over the |
|
|
|
death of his wife and their children from a
'fever'; alternatively, other sources say that he |
|
|
|
killed himself after incurring heavy gambling
debts after the death of his wife. In any event, all |
|
|
|
stories agree that Sir Tristram's faithful valet
(or butler) let Sir Tristram's favourite horse loose, |
|
|
|
with the baronet's dead body mounted on the
horse, in order to fake a riding accident. This |
|
|
|
was done in order to mask the fact of suicide,
since, in those times, the property of suicides |
|
|
|
reverted to the Crown. It is said that a ghostly
Sir Tristram mounted on a horse can be seen |
|
|
|
on the anniversary of his death. |

Sir John Holdsworth Dimsdale, 2nd baronet, and
his wife |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The inquest on Sir John Holdsworth Dimsdale,
Bart., son of a former Lord Mayor of London, |
|
|
|
found dead from bullet wounds in Seasalter
Churchyard, Whitstable, ended yesterday evening |
|
|
|
in a verdict of suicide whilst of unsound mind. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Evidence showed that Sir John, who had been
residing at the Bear and Key Hotel, Whitstable, |
|
|
|
received a telephone message from a local bank
manager on Tuesday morning that a cheque |
|
|
|
for nine pounds drawn on another bank had been
returned marked "Not sufficient." Sir John, |
|
|
|
surprised, said he had paid in £250 to the bank
in question on the previous day. At his request |
|
|
|
the cheque was presented again. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Other evidence showed that, meanwhile, on
Tuesday, after ordering breakfast, Sir John went |
|
|
|
apparently to Seasalter and shot himself with a
revolver, being discovered lying dead in the |
|
|
|
evening by a local builder. No valedictory
letter was left. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Lady Elizabeth Grace Dimsdale [sic], his wife,
who had been living in the hotel opposite Sir |
|
|
|
John's, stated that she thought the motive must
be financial worry. The Coroner said it seemed |
|
|
|
a very unlikely motive for a man to take his
life because of £9. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The witness said that Sir John had told her
that there was no occasion to worry about money |
|
|
|
matters. She had been married to Sir John nearly
eleven years. He had many times threatened |
|
|
|
to take his life when he was cross, but she did
not take any notice of it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Coroner, in summing up, said the motive did
not seem to him to be an adequate one. It |
|
|
|
was, however, the only evidence that had been
given.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After Sir John's death, his widow apparently
could not carry on. A report in the Manchester |
|
|
|
Guardian of 27 October 1923 states that 'Lady
Dimsdale was again before the county |
|
|
|
|
magistrates at Canterbury yesterday charged with
attempted suicide.' The use of the word |
|
|
|
'again' indicates that this was not the first
occasion she had attempted to kill herself. Lady |
|
|
|
Dimsdale admitted that she had made several
attempts to drown herself by walking into the |
|
|
|
sea at Whitstable, but on each occasion the
waves had washed her back to shore. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The magistrates dismissed the charge on the
condition that Lady Dimsdale enter a home for |
|
|
|
girls at Maidstone, where she would be placed in
the home's kitchen to assist the matron. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, her stay in the girl's home was
merely a temporary solution. After leaving the |
|
|
|
home, Lady Dimsdale was employed as a 'social
mistress' at a school in Greenwich, Connecticut, |
|
|
|
but had returned to England at the time of her
death in October 1926, when she died as a |
|
|
|
result of drinking a bottle of Lysol, a popular
cleaner and disinfectant. |

Sir Willoughby Wolstan Dixie, 7th baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir Willoughby spent the last few years of his
life in hot water, being twice arrested on |
|
|
|
|
different charges. The first report is taken
from the 'Caledonian Mercury' of 30 July 1825, |
|
|
|
|
reprinted from the 'Leicester Journal' :- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The town of Market Bosworth, Leicestershire,
has been thrown into an unusual state of |
|
|
|
|
excitation during the past week, owing to the
commital to the county gaol of its principal |
|
|
|
|
inhabitant, Sir Willoughby Woolston Dixie,
Bart., on a charge of maliciously shooting. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'It appears that as the Rev. Mr. Wright, the
vicar of that place, and his son, who is also a |
|
|
|
clergyman, were returning in a gig from the
visitation held at Leicester, on Saturday, they |
|
|
|
were fired at from a window in the Baronet's
house. Not having been living of late upon the |
|
|
|
best terms with their wealthy but eccentric
neighbour, the Reverend Gentlemen naturally |
|
|
|
|
became alarmed at the occurrence, and lost no
time in laying the facts before the Rev. Mr. |
|
|
|
Fell, a Magistrate of the county, who appointed
Monday last to investigate the matter. Mr. |
|
|
|
Bond of this town [i.e. Leicester], Sir
Willoughby's solicitor, having been sent for, the affair |
|
|
|
underwent inquiry at the public room at
Bosworth, which ended in the Rev. Magistrate making |
|
|
|
out his warrant of commital against the Baronet,
who is to take his trial upon the charge at |
|
|
|
our Assizes next week. This circumstance
becoming known, the inhabitants, with great |
|
|
|
|
numbers of whom the Baronet is very popular,
began to assume a tone and attitude which |
|
|
|
rendered it necessary to call in a strong civil
power. In consequence thereof, the Under |
|
|
|
|
Sheriff (Mr. Miles) procured the assistance of a
considerable number of constables from the |
|
|
|
surrounding neighbourhood, who, arming
themselves with staves, hedge stakes, etc. took |
|
|
|
their station in the town, to preserve the
public peace. Notwithstanding these precautions, |
|
|
|
however, a chaise, which had been sent for from
Hinchley, had its traces cut, and other |
|
|
|
|
sypmtoms of a turbulent disposition were
manifested, which rendered it advisable not to |
|
|
|
|
remove the prisoner till the crowd had
dispersed. There appearing little probability that this |
|
|
|
would be the case up to a late hour, it was
determined that he should be brought up to |
|
|
|
|
Leicester early the next morning. Accordingly,
at break of day, a chaise and four drove up to |
|
|
|
the George Inn, and Sir Willougby having taken
his seat therein, with a constable on one side, |
|
|
|
and his solicitor on the other, drove off for
Leicester, followed by six constables on horseback. |
|
|
|
About five o'clock the Baronet reached the
county gaol.. On getting out of the chaise he |
|
|
|
|
surveyed the building, and then walked into
prison with his usual sang froid. His carriage and |
|
|
|
four fine iron-grey horses entered the town
shortly after, and drove to the Bell Hotel. Sir |
|
|
|
|
Willoughby has apartments in front of the gaol,
but is not allowed to have his servants wait |
|
|
|
upon him. He has, however, a person in
attendance, who is constantly with him. His solicitor, |
|
|
|
of course, is also permitted to see him. We
understand that the Baronet has been in the habit |
|
|
|
of frequently shooting at birds from the window
above alluded to, which is his billiard room, |
|
|
|
and that the defence to be set up to the charge
upon which he is committed will be, that he |
|
|
|
was doing so on the day in question. The
distance of the premises from the road on which the |
|
|
|
Messrs. Wright were passing is more than 150
yards, and the shot discharged at them was of |
|
|
|
the description used in killing small birds.
None of the shot took effect upon their persons, |
|
|
|
although they fell very near the. Bail to any
amount has been offered, but refused.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Although Sir Willoughby was committed for trial,
when the time came to hear the charges the |
|
|
|
two clergymen declined to prosecute the matter
any further, and Dixie was therefore released. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir Willoughby returned to the news in 1827,
when in May of that year he was again arrested. |
|
|
|
The following report appeared in the 'Sydney
Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser' on 12 |
|
|
|
October 1827 [which illustrates the time taken
for English news to reach Australia in the days |
|
|
|
before the opening of the international
telegraph line] :- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'On Thursday week, a warrant was issued for the
apprehension of the above gentleman [Sir |
|
|
|
Willoughby Dixie], living in the county of
Leicester. The charge preferred against the Baronet |
|
|
|
is of a most serious and revolting nature,
inasmuch as the warrant set forth, that he has |
|
|
|
"violated and feloniously made an assault
upon his own daughter, Eleanor Francis Anna Dixie, |
|
|
|
an infant under the age of ten years." The
warrant was placed in the hands of Unwin and |
|
|
|
Lambert, two experienced officers in the borough
of Leicester. The Magistrates suspecting |
|
|
|
that some resistance would be offered in the
execution of their fiat, ordered Unwin and |
|
|
|
|
Lambert, not only to arm themselves, but to
select four other officers to assist them in the |
|
|
|
business. Accordingly, the six individuals
alluded to took a post-chaise from the Crowns Hotel, |
|
|
|
Leicester, two of them as outriders, and
proceeded about four o'clock in the afternoon of the |
|
|
|
day mentioned, to Bosworth-hall, a distance of
fifteen miles, and arrived there about six |
|
|
|
|
o'clock. The outer door of the mansion was open,
and three of the officers, with Unwin at |
|
|
|
their head, entered, and inquired of the footman
where his master could be found. He replied |
|
|
|
he could not possibly be seen. He was then
charged in the King's name to aid and assist, |
|
|
|
which he also refused, and endeavoured to
obstruct the officers in the execution of their |
|
|
|
duty. Unwin then produced his fire-arms, and
expressed his determination to shoot him or |
|
|
|
anyone else who interfered. The premises being
very extensive, the officers perambulated the |
|
|
|
various passages, and tried all the doors they
could find, two of which they broke open, and |
|
|
|
entered one of the rooms. He was not, however,
to be found, till after the lapse of two hours, |
|
|
|
when the room they suspected was forcibly
entered with the assistance of a carpenter, and |
|
|
|
there they discovered the Baronet. He made no
resistance, but insisted upon remaining in the |
|
|
|
house all night; this was complied with, as the
officers knew how extremely popular the |
|
|
|
|
prisoner was amongst his tenantry, at Bosworth.
During the night, he made several |
|
|
|
|
observations to the officers, denying the charge
in toto: and further
added, that "if he had |
|
|
|
loaded his six-pounder and fired it off, he
should have blown them all to ---- together." |
|
|
|
|
five o'clock in the morning permission was
granted that Sir Willoughby should ride to Leicester |
|
|
|
in his own carriage, in consequence of a
doctor's certificate, which stated that the chaise |
|
|
|
would not be a proper conveyance, owing to an
infammation in the Baronet's leg, which |
|
|
|
|
required it to be kept in a horizontal position.
The equipage, with four grey horses, drew up at |
|
|
|
the hall door, but Unwin insisted that the
postillion from the Crowns [Hotel] should drive the |
|
|
|
leaders, with two officers as outriders. They
arrived in Leicester about seven, and the Baronet |
|
|
|
was safely placed in the county gaol. At first
he refused to get out unless the gaoler came to |
|
|
|
receive him with proper honours. On Saturday the
Magistrates entered into an investigation of |
|
|
|
the affair at the county public-office, which
lasted several hours, and the case stands |
|
|
|
|
adjourned till a future day." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In early September 1827, the 'Leicester Journal'
reported that 'the case of Sir Willoughby Dixie, |
|
|
|
Bart., for an alleged violation of his own
daughter, did not come before the Court at our |
|
|
|
|
assizes. It is said to have been disposed of in
a private room of the Castle, between the |
|
|
|
|
Counsel on both sides.' Sir Willoughby died
shortly after. |

Lady Florence Caroline Dixie, wife of Sir
Alexander Beaumont Churchill Dixie, |

11th baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lady Florence was the sister of the 9th Marquess
of Queensberry, famous for implementing |
|
|
|
the Marquess of Queensberry Rules for boxing and
for his vendetta against Oscar Wilde. Lady |
|
|
|
Florence was born 24 May 1855 and married, on 3
April 1875, Sir Alexander Beaumont Churchill |
|
|
|
Dixie, 11th baronet. Due to his initials, Dixie
was known as Sir A.B.C.D. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In March 1883, she caused a sensation when she
claimed to have been kidnapped by Irish |
|
|
|
agitators. According to the report in 'The
Times' of 19 March 1883:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'On Saturday afternoon [17 March] in broad
daylight and attempt was made by two persons |
|
|
|
to assassinate Lady Florence Dixie, whose
letters in reference to the funds of the Irish Land |
|
|
|
League are supposed to constitute the motive for
the outrage. The miscreants were dressed |
|
|
|
in female attire, but are supposed to have been
men in disguise. Sir Beaumont and Lady |
|
|
|
|
Florence Dixie reside at the Fishery, a pleasant
riverside residence on the Berks[hire] shore |
|
|
|
of the Thames, two miles and a half from Windsor
and between that town and Maidenhead. |
|
|
|
The high road passes close to the house, which
is situated between the road and the river. |
|
|
|
On Saturday afternoon about 4 o'clock Lady
Florence Dixie was walking in the road between |
|
|
|
the Fishery and Surly-hall, which is a short
distance off, when two persons, seemingly women, |
|
|
|
approached her. Lady Florence turned into the
grounds adjoining her residence and observed |
|
|
|
the two persons follow her by the same entrance.
She was at that time leaning against some |
|
|
|
railings, but she at once faced and walked
towards them. One asked her what o'clock it was, |
|
|
|
and Lady Florence replied that she had not got
her watch with her. Immediately one of the |
|
|
|
assailants rushed upon her, knocked her down,
and filled her mouth with mud to prevent any |
|
|
|
cries for assistance being heard. The other then
stabbed her with a knife or dagger in two |
|
|
|
places in the left breast, the point both times
apparently striking the steel of her stays, and |
|
|
|
preventing the weapon from penetrating the body.
Lady Florence had with her a large Mount |
|
|
|
St. Bernard dog, which attacked the assailants;
and as a cart was heard passing along the |
|
|
|
road the miscreants made off. Sir Beaumont Dixie
was at the river side at the time of the |
|
|
|
|
occurrence, and before he was aware of what had
occurred they had disappeared. No trace |
|
|
|
of them has since discovered. Sir Beaumont
immediately procured a conveyance from Surly- |
|
|
|
hall Hotel, proceeded to Windsor and gave
information to Mr Superindendant Hayes, of the |
|
|
|
Windsor Borough Police, of the occurrence. It
was a quarter to 6 when he arrived at the |
|
|
|
|
station. The crime not having been committed
within the borough, Mr Hayes directed Sir |
|
|
|
|
Beaumont to the Berks County Police-station at
Clewer, near which he must have passed on |
|
|
|
his way to Windsor. Some valuable time was lost;
but telegrams were quickly sent to |
|
|
|
|
Maidenhead and Reading, and Superintendent
Iremonger, of the former place, at once sent |
|
|
|
out men in search. Information was also
telegraphed to Scotland-yard. The dress worn by |
|
|
|
Lady Florence Dixie at the time has been
examined by the police, who find that a knife has |
|
|
|
passed through the bodice to the steel of the
stays, as stated above. Her life had been saved |
|
|
|
by the circumstance of the weapon striking a
hard substance. Lady Florence became faint on |
|
|
|
returning to her house, but this morning had
almost recovered from the shock which the |
|
|
|
|
attempt on her life had naturally occasioned, as
she only complained of being a little dizzy. |
|
|
|
Her impression is that she had a blow on her
head, although there is no mark there. She is |
|
|
|
able to give only a very imperfect description
of the two persons who attacked her. One wore |
|
|
|
a veil, and both had smooth faces. She was also
unable to say what direction they took on |
|
|
|
leaving the grounds. It is supposed that they
came from the direction of Windsor, as just |
|
|
|
before the occurrence a village cart was seen
going at great speed along the road from |
|
|
|
|
Windsor, and in this cart there were two women -
as they appeared to be - huddled up. The |
|
|
|
police have as yet obtained very little
information. There were people on the road near the |
|
|
|
Fishery, including a soldier, who from his
uniform is supposed to be a pioneer of the Grenadier |
|
|
|
Guards, and who, it is thought, may have seen
something of the two persons. In the evening |
|
|
|
information was conveyed to the Queen. The
police are still engaged in making inquiries, but |
|
|
|
with very little hope of success. Lady Florence
Dixie was not attended by any medical man as |
|
|
|
the injuries were not such as to render it
necessary; her hands were, however, much cut in |
|
|
|
her efforts to seize the weapon.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lady Florence's story was front-page news in all
of the contemporary papers, but, as time |
|
|
|
passed, the words used in the various headlines
began to subtly change. Initially, the |
|
|
|
|
headlines were of the nature of 'Dastardly
attack on Lady Florence Dixie', but over the next |
|
|
|
fortnight, the tone of the headlines began to
change, firstly to the 'Reported attack on Lady |
|
|
|
Dixie' and then to the' Alleged attack on Lady
Dixie'. Eventually, the headlines began to query |
|
|
|
whether she had been attacked at all - for
example, some newspapers reminded their readers |
|
|
|
that Lady Florence had been mistaken on other
occasions, citing a recent incident in which |
|
|
|
she had published a letter from the Zulu king,
Cetewayo, which he denied having written. She |
|
|
|
had also published a poem in 1879, following the
death of the Prince Imperial [son of Napoleon |
|
|
|
III of France), which she claimed to have
written six years earlier as a result of a prophetic |
|
|
|
dream. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Her credibility was seriously damaged by the
evidence of 'an Eton gentleman' who swore that |
|
|
|
he had Lady Florence in his sight during the
whole of the period in which the alleged attack |
|

|
was supposed to have taken place and that no
such attack was made. Nothing was ever |
|
|
|
proved either way, as far as I can ascertain,
nor were any suspects ever arrested, but it |
|
|
|
seems that a good proportion of the public
believed that the alleged attack was a figment of |
|
|
|
Lady Florence's imagination. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notwithstanding this incident, Lady Florence was
remarkable in many other ways. She |
|
|
|
|
travelled throughout Patagonia and published a
book detailing her travels; she was a war |
|
|
|
correspondent during the First Boer War and the
Anglo-Zulu War; played a major role in |
|
|
|
|
establishing the Women's Football Association
and was an early feminist, publishing in 1890 |
|
|
|
the book "Gloriana; or the Revolution of
1900" which is described by I F Clarke in his "Tale of |
|
|
|
the Future" as 'a melodramatic romance
written around a campaign for women's rights.' Lady |
|
|
|
Florence died on 7 November 1905, aged 50. |

Sir James Henry Domville, 5th baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir James committed suicide by shooting himself
in September 1919. The following report of the |
|
|
|
subsequent inquest appeared in 'The Manchester
Guardian' on 16 September 1919:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'At the inquest at Westminster yesterday on Sir
James Domville, a retired naval officer who was |
|
|
|
found at the United Services Club on Saturday
suffering from a gunshot wound, and |
|
|
|
|
subsequently died in hospital, his brother,
Cecil Lionel Domville, a retired army officer, who |
|
|
|
succeeds to the title, gave evidence of
identification. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The witness said he did not know from his own
personal knowledge that his brother was in |
|
|
|
financial difficulties, but he had read so in
the papers. He believed his brother had domestic |
|
|
|
troubles, and that there was a petition out
against him for a divorce. He was very bad with |
|
|
|
enteric [typhoid fever] after serving in the
Mediterranean. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A valet at the club said he saw Sir James
before midnight on Friday, when he came to the |
|
|
|
witness and made arrangements about sending his
things to his mother. The witness was under |
|
|
|
the impression that Sir James was leaving town.
The next morning witness found him lying on |
|
|
|
the bed, fully clad, in evening dress. Blood was
flowing, and a revolver was lying at his right |
|
|
|
side as if it had fallen from his hand. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The night porter said he took a cup of tea to
the bedroom at 5 a.m. on Saturday, and Sir |
|
|
|
James was then lying on the bed and was fully
dressed. He asked for some brandy, which |
|
|
|
witness took him, and left him reading. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A letter found in the room was addressed to the
secretary of the club, and said:- "I much |
|
|
|
regret this should have taken place in the club.
Glad if you will convey this sentiment to your |
|
|
|
committee." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The verdict was of suicide whilst of unsound
mind, brought about by physical, financial, and |
|
|
|
domestic troubles.' |
