Sir Richard Arthur Surtees Paget, 2nd baronet
of Cranmore, Somerset [created 1886]
Sir Richard was a well-known amateur scientist, who married Lady Muriel Finch-Hatton, only
daughter of the 12th Earl of Winchilsea and Nottingham.
He was often embarrassed by the exploits of his wife, who devoted herself to rescuing English
governesses stranded in Russia. Once he was asked whether they were related. "Only by
marriage", he replied.
Sir Richard's daughter, Pamela, was often required to play a part in her father's scientific
experiments. One occasion, she had to throw herself off the top of a bus travelling at 30 mph
down Park Lane. Her father's theory was that the force of air behind her would guarantee that
she landed on her feet, in which he was proved to be correct. In another experiment, he filled
her ears with treacle when testing the efficiency of a sign language that he had recently
invented.
In 1935, Pamela married Christopher Grey Tennant, 2nd Baron Glenconner, at a lavish
ceremony at Wells Cathedral, created by Glenconner's younger brother Stephen Tennant, who
attended the marriage service with a tortoise in his pocket (as one does).
Pamela carried on her mother's work and in 1961 she was elected to the Russia Company,
which provided financial aid to many of those repatriated from Russia in the 1930s. She also
inherited her mother's interest in the Invalid Kitchens of London (later Meals on Wheels).
Sir John Dean Paul, 2nd baronet
In June 1855, warrants were issued for the arrest of the three partners of the banking house
of Strahan, Paul & Co., to answer a charge of unlawfully converting to their own use securities
entrusted to their safe keeping.
One of these partners was Sir John Dean Paul, the 2nd baronet. The officers of the court who
had been given the task of executing the warrant against Sir John arrived at his country house
at Nutfield, near Reigate in Surrey. There they found Sir John at home and were able to serve
him with the warrant. By this time, it was too late to transport their prisoner to London, and
so they allowed their prisoner to go to bed, taking the precaution of sitting all night outside his
door. In the morning, they accompanied Sir John to the nearest railway station, arriving just
in time to purchase their tickets. After installing Sir John in a compartment on the train, the
train began to move and the two officers were trying to board when they were pulled back by
a railway porter, who explained that he had orders to prevent passengers attempting to board
moving trains. In vain did the officers explain who they were and that their prisoner was
escaping - the porter was adamant that he had to follow his orders. By this time, the train had
gone without them and they immediately made themselves known to the railway superinten-
dent who refused to signal the train to stop, although he agreed to send a telegram to the
London station.  The two officers travelled to London by the next train, which arrived a mere
ten minutes after Sir John's train, but when they asked the London station-master if Sir John
had been detained, the station-master quite reasonably said no, since he had no idea what he
looked like. Sir John surrendered himself to the authorities about a week later.
At their subsequent trial, Sir John and his partners were charged with having received from
John Griffiths, Canon of Rochester, bonds to the value of £5,000 and then, without the
approval of the owner, making away with the bonds. All three were found guilty and each
received the maximum sentence, being transportation for 14 years. Sir John did not serve all
of his sentence, having obtained a ticket of leave, after which he lived in retirement until his
death.
Sir Peter Payne, de jure 3rd baronet [GB 1737]
Sir Peter was the son of the second baronet, Sir Gillies Payne. In his younger days, Sir Gillies
had entered into a relationship with a farmer's daughter named Maria Keeling. It appears that a
number of children had been born by 1761, when Sir Gillies and Maria Keeling finally married.
Peter was the first son born after the marriage took place, and therefore would normally be
considered to be the eldest legitimate son and thus heir to the title. 
However, on the death of his father in 1801, Peter allowed his eldest brother, John Payne, to
assume the title, even though John was undoubtedly illegitimate. John died in May 1803, when
he was "succeeded" by his eldest son, Charles,
It was not until 1828 that Peter allowed the question of who was the rightful baronet to be
raised. In that year, in a legal case before the Court of Chancery (Glascott v Bridges), Peter
permitted the matter to be raised. According to his obituary in the "The Gentleman's Magazine"
for July 1843, "Sir Charles Payne, of St. Christopher's [i.e. St. Kitts in the West Indies], was
created a baronet in 1737; and his son, Sir Gillies, the second Baronet died 1801, when, says
Courthope in his Extinct Baronetage, 1835, 'the title became extinct. After a lapse of 27 years
the title was assumed by Peter Payne, esq., claiming to be a legitimate son of the last
baronet.' Burke, in Peerage and Baronetage, states that Sir Peter 'succeeded to the title in
1828, in consequence of a decree of the Court of Chancery, confirming a report finding him
the eldest son born in wedlock of his late father, Sir Gillies Payne, of Tempsford, in
Bedfordshire.' "
Evidence was given during the hearing that his sister-in-law, widow of his brother John had,
together with her sister, burned the marriage certificate of Sir Gillies Payne. However, other
evidence brought forward convinced the Court of its existence, and, as a result, Peter was
declared to be the eldest son born in wedlock. In January 1829, however, this decision was
reversed by the Lord Chancellor for reasons I have been unable to discover. As part of this
reversal, it was directed that the issue of the legitimacy of John and Peter Payne be tried,
but the question never came before the courts. There is no doubt, however, that during his
lifetime, Peter Payne's claim to be a baronet was universally acknowledged; he is described
as a baronet in all contemporary newspapers, even up to the time of his widow's death in
1883. Dod's Peerage and Baronetage includes an entry for the baronetcy until at least 1899,
although it describes the right to the title as being in dispute between rival branches of the
family (John's descendants claimed the baronetcy as well).  It is also significant that the
baronetcy does not appear in Burke's "Extinct and Dormant Baronetage" published in 1841.
Sir Ralph William Payne-Gallwey, 3rd baronet
When the motor-car first began to appear on British roads around 1900, it was certainly not
universally welcomed. The following report is taken from the Christchurch, New Zealand 'Star'
of 23 July 1903:-
'Anti-motor fanaticism has found a new apostle in Sir Ralph Payne-Gallwey, a Yorkshire
baronet, who was written an extraordinary letter to the "Times."
"As a sure means of identifying the reckless, 'don't care a hang for anybody' motor-car
drivers," he writes, "the class of men who daily imperil our lives and who are responsible for
the 'motor murders' that too frequently occur, I suggest a legalised use of the shot-gun.
"In the case of a motorist - by wilful neglect of ordinary precautions - inflicting injury on a
pedestrian, or causing damage to the property of a person driving or riding on the highway,
followed by an attempt to escape detection by continuing his rapid progress, I consider the
injured party should be legally permitted to fire at the offender, the gun not to be used at a
range exceeding forty yards, and the shot with which it is loaded not to be of a larger size
than No. 8 or 9.
"Though in the circumstances I allude to the bombardment would merely take effect on the
back of the culprit, and would result in no appreciable injury to him, it would surely tend to
