			Sir Richard Wallace, 1st and only baronet [1871]	]
			Richard was the illegitimate son of Richard Seymour-Conway, 4th Marquess of Hertford.
			For further information on this peer, see the note at the foot of the page which contains
			details of the Hertford peerage.
			Richard was born in Paris as a result of the 4th Marquess' liaison with an Agnes Wallace, 'a
			Scottish girl of low birth' much older than the Marquess. After placing the child with a French
			concierge and seeing Agnes married to a Mr Jackson, the Marquess thought that he had done
			enough for his illegitimate son.
			By the 1850s, however, Richard had become his father's secretary and lived in Paris with him.
			The Marquess' only pleasure was in collecting art and, when the Marquess died in 1870,
			Richard was left the Marquess' art collection and personal fortune of some £7,000,000. The
			title and the entailed estates were inherited by a cousin, the 5th Marquess.
			Richard was aged 52 when his father died. He was, if possible, an even more ardent art-
			collector than his father and had now become wealthy beyond his wildest dreams. However,
			before he indulged himself in art collecting, he poured out money for the relief of sufferers in
			the Franco-Prussian War. In addition, he founded the Hertford Hospital in Paris and made a gift
			to the city of 50 drinking fountains, some of which can still be seen today.
			In February 1871, he married his long-term mistress and father of his son, Julie Castelnau. In
			November 1871, he was created a baronet and settled at Hertford House in London. Between
			1873 and 1885 he sat in the House of Commons for Lisburn, but the enrichment of his art
			collection remained his major interest. His placid life was racked by a bitter quarrel with his son,
			who involved himself in a liaison with a French girl and had children by her. When Sir Richard
			remonstrated with him, his son replied that he had merely followed his father's example. The
			son died soon after, but to the time of his death, Sir Richard refused to recognise his grand-
			children or their mother.
			As private secretary Sir Richard hired John Murray Scott, a young barrister whose grandfather
			and father had been friends of the 4th Marquess of Hertford. When Sir Richard died in Paris in
			1890, Scott continued to watch over Lady Wallace's interests until her death in 1897. Lady
			Wallace had inherited the whole of her husband's estate and she, in turn, wanted to leave it
			all to Scott. Instead, he persuaded her to leave the art treasures to the nation and, after her
			death, the contents of Hertford House became state property under the name of the Wallace
			Collection, where it remains to this day.
			Scott was rewarded with a baronetcy in 1899. He died in 1912, leaving a controversial will in
			which he left large amounts of money and art to Baroness Sackville. For details of the 1913
			court case arising from this bequest, see the note at the foot of the page containing details of
			the Sackville peerage.
			Sir Thomas Edward Watson, 1st baronet
			Sir Thomas killed in a traffic accident in May 1921. The following report appeared in 'The
			Manchester Guardian' on 4 May 1921:-
			'The tragic story of the death of Sir Thomas Edward Watson, the well-known colliery proprietor,
			was told at an inquest conducted by Mr.l Ingleby Oddie, the Westminster Coroner, yesterday.
			'Sir Thomas had come to London from his home at Newport (Monmouthshire) last Friday, and
			was staying at a West End hotel. He was crossing the road near St.George's Hospital, Hyde
			Park, about midday, in the company of his daughter, when he was knocked down by a passing
			motor-car. He was picked up in an unconscious condition and removed to the hospital, where
			he succumbed little more than an hour later to his injuries.
			'Evidence was given that Sir Thomas, who had been standing on an island refuge, tried to cross
			in front of a taxi which was being overtaken by the car. The chauffeur of the car applied his
			brakes immediately he saw him, but was unable to avoid knocking him down.
			'Summing up, the Coroner said that it was a common cause of accident for people to cross in
			front of one vehicle before assuring themselves that there was not another vehicle overtaking it
			on the other side. There was a danger in vehicles overtaking other vehicles near refuges, and
			he was of opinion that they should be compelled to pass in single file. In this case the driver of
			the car was entitled to overtake the slowly moving taxi, and he seemed to have pulled up the
			car with great promptitude.
			'The Coroner said he had no hesitation in recording a verdict of accidental death, exonerating
			the driver from all blame. Sir Thomas Watson unfortunately did not realise a very common
			danger, and was doing something expressly prohibited by the rules of "Safety First."
