		Otho William Nicholson, MP for Abbey 1924-1932
		Nicholson was one of only three survivors of an air crash at London Airport on 2 March 1948.
		The following edited report appeared in "The Times" of 3 March 1948:-
		'A Dakota aircraft of the Sabena Airline [the national airline of Belgium] from Brussels, arriving
		at London Airport, Heathrow, in thick fog soon after 9 o'clock last night, crashed in landing
		and burst into flames on the ground. Of the passengers and crew, numbering 22, all but three
		were killed. The three survivors [including Nicholson] were pulled clear of the wreckage by the
		first members of the airport rescue teams to reach the aircraft…….This is the worst accident
		that has happened at London Airport. The aircraft landed in a nose dive about 50 yards from
		the wide concrete band of the runway which is generally used in fog. There was an explosion
		and the Dakota broke into fierce flames immediately.
		'After the three survivors had been rescued the heat became so intense that no more rescues
		were possible. In spite of the water and foam poured on to the flames the fire raged some
		time before it became possible to reach the first bodies. The rescue squad and other helpers
		worked in the fog in the beams of portable searchlights, ankle-deep in mud and foam. In an
		hour or so the fire had almost burned itself out, leaving masses of red-hot ashes from which
		the charred bodies were extricated with great difficulty, long pauses being necessary while
		more water was poured in.'
		Alexander Bannerman, MP for Aberdeen 1832-1847
		After his parliamentary career had ended in 1847, Bannerman began a new career as a
		colonial governor. His first appointment was as Lieutenant-Governor of Prince Edward Island
		in 1851, followed by the Governorship of the Bahamas in 1854 and finally Newfoundland in
		1857
		It was while Governor of Newfoundland between 1857 and 1864 that Bannerman left his
		biggest mark upon history. According to the Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage website
		"Bannerman's term began in the midst of heated negotiations between the colony, France
		and Britain regarding French fishing rights along the French shore. Bannerman found the
		Newfoundland government, under John Kent [1805-1872, Premier of Newfoundland 1858-
		1861], unreasonable in its dealings, and corrupt. He argued that undeserving people received
		relief aid, and that funds were misappropriated. Characteristically, Bannerman tried to fix the
		problems. During the 1859 elections, he called for an enquiry into election procedures at
		Harbour Grace and Burin [two towns on Newfoundland] after reports of disorderly conduct
		took 10 days to reach him. He also held an independent inquiry into reports of undue
		influence within the Assembly. The most sensational political drama ensued when Bannerman
		dissolved the government during a dispute over a currency bill when premier John Kent
		questioned the governor's authority. The dissolution resulted in a tense election of the
		opposition party to power [led by Hugh Hoyles 1814-1888, Premier of Newfoundland 1861-
		1865], and crowd violence in St. John's. Troops quieted the riots, however, and the
		government resumed its work."
		After his term expired in 1864, Bannerman returned to Great Britain where, weakened by a
		cold, he died as a result of falling down a flight of stairs on 30 December 1864.
		Edward Anthony Strauss, MP for Abingdon 1906-Jan 1910, Southwark West
		1910-1918 and Southwark North 1918-1923, 1927-1929 and 1931-1939
		In 1913, in a case which must have put the fear of God into many members of Parliament, an
		action was brought against Strauss by one of his constituents for damages for alleged breach
		of contract in that Strauss had failed to carry out the promises upon which he had been
		elected.
		The following report of the case appeared in "The Times" of 20 May 1913:-
		'At the Southwark County Court yesterday, before Judge Granger and a jury, an action was
		brought by Mr. Arthur Macgillicuddy, an accountant, of Southwark, to recover damages from
		Mr. E.A. Strauss, M.P., for alleged breach of agreement in not having carried out his election
		pledges. Among the damages claimed were "the expense the plaintiff has been put to by
		correspondence, printing and other items incidental to calling attention to the conduct of the
		defendant in the matter of his refusing to take due cognizance of such facts as were brought
		to his knowledge by the plaintiff, such facts having reference to so vital a public question as
		corruption in political life."
		'The plaintiff conducted his own case, and Mr. Strauss, who was not in attendance, was
		represented by Mr. Cecil Whiteley.
		'The plaintiff said this was a test action involving the whole question of Parliamentary
		representation. Considering that the House of Commons had never yet, in its 650 years'
		history, given satisfaction or carried out the one purpose for which it was formed, it was time
		to look into the whole question from a new and more thorough point of view. There was no
		party feeling between him and Mr. Strauss, as both were of the same political persuasion;
		there merely existed between them a difference of opinion in regard to the ways and means
		of conducting the affairs of the country. He contended that Mr. Strauss had not fulfilled his
		election pledges, and if the jury considered from the facts that he had been remiss in the
		discharge of his public duty, then it would be for them to assess what damages he was
		entitled to receive. His statement of claim was merely nominal, but if the jury took the wider
		view of the whole question - the point of view of the public loss sustained by taxpayers
		generally - then the damages the jury considered the defendant should pay by way of penalty
		for his ill-conduct should be paid to the public Treasury towards the reduction of national
		taxation. The jury would not fail to see what important results were likely to follow, if the
		facts justified a condemnation of the existing system of Parliamentary inaction with regard to
		exercising a proper check upon our huge public expenditure.
		'Mr, Macgillicuddy, having been sworn and informed by the Judge that he must give evidence
		of an agreement, read a letter he had addressed to Mr. Strauss, and said he was relying on
		the personal assurances to the electors that he would serve the interests of the constituency
		to the best of his ability which had been given by Mr. Strauss.
		'The Judge said that there was no contract and, finding that the plaintiff had no evidence of
		a contract, withdrew the case from the jury and entered judgment for the defendant with
		costs.'
		Walter Travers Scott-Elliot, MP for Accrington 1945-1950
		Scott-Elliot, his wife and three other people were murdered by his butler and an accomplice
		between July 1977 and January 1978.
		The following articles, all of which are from "The Times", outline the history of this case:-
		18 Jan 1978 - 'Scotland Yard detectives [are] assisting Scottish police last night in the
		search for Mr. Walter Scott-Elliot, aged 82, formerly a Labour MP, and his wife Dorothy, who
		have not been seen since December 13 [1977].
		'Their flat in Sloane Street, Chelsea, London was burgled and valuable antiques stolen. A man
		who worked there is also missing.
		'The body of a man was found in the boot of a car at North Berwick, Lothian, on Monday and
		a woman's body near Dumfries shortly before Christmas. They were not the Scott-Elliots,
		though the dead man was the brother of the couple's butler, police said.
		'Scotland Yard said: "There is a possibility of other bodies being found."
		'Cumbria police said inquiries were proceeding in relation to two men in custody in Scotland.
		Detectives from Cumbria travelled to Edinburgh where the men were being detained.'
		19 Jan 1978 - 'Detectives from more than half a dozen Scottish and English police forces last
		night were investigating a bizarre trail of killings which are thought to include those of Mr.
		Walter Scott-Elliot, a former Labour MP, aged 82, his wife, the brother of the couple's butler,
		a gardener, and an unknown woman.
		'Yesterday morning the police officers uncovered the body of a man in his eighties thought by
		the police to be Mr. Scott-Elliot, in a shallow grave near Inverness. The brother of the butler,
		Mr. Donald Hall, was found in the boot of a car near Edinburgh and the woman was found in a
		stream at Middlebie, Dumfries and Galloway, on Christmas Day.
		'Today searches will continue in Tayside for Mrs. Scott-Elliot's body and in Dumfries and
		Galloway for that of the gardener.
		'The first of the killings, that of the gardener, is thought to have taken place last July when
		the man was shot and buried in the grounds of an estate. The circumstances of the death of
		the woman remained unknown to the police until this week.
		'It was the discovery of the body of Mr. Hall, aged 37, of no fixed address, that prompted the
		police investigations. Last night Lothian and Borders police could not confirm that Mr. Hall had
		been released from prison recently, although they did say he had a police record.
		'They added that he had recently been seen in the Cumbria area and yesterday police officers
		searched a holiday cottage at Newton Arlosh, near Carlisle.
		'Villagers say the cottage was let to two men last November. One was described as a Scot
		and the other a Londoner. The two were joined by a woman in December but she left. Last
		weekend a third man joined the two.
		'One report suggested that an older man was seen at the cottage last November but it is not
		known if that was Mr. Scott-Elliot. The Scott-Elliots were last seen at their home in Richmond
		Court, Knightsbridge, on December 13.
		'Staff at the block of flats thought the couple had left to go to Scotland for Christmas. They
		were not reported missing they often travelled and their disappearance raised no suspicions
		among the staff.
		'On Sunday night officers from the Metropolitan Police arrived and searched the two-bedroom
		flat. It was thought that some antiques were missing and yesterday Scotland Yard said that
		antiques valued at £3,000 had been recovered in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire,
		during the past few days.
		'Detectives and forensic scientists have been working in the flat for three days and the
		building is under police guard. On Tuesday night two senior detectives from Chelsea travelled
		to Edinburgh to join officers from the Lothian and Borders force under the command of Det.
		Chief Supt, George Macpherson, head of the force's CID.
		'At Haddington, near Edinburgh, two men, one of them a relative of one of the victims, are to
		appear at the sheriff's court on minor charges. They appeared at the court on Monday after
		the discovery of Mr. Hall's body in the car boot at North Berwick.
		'The body of the elderly man found yesterday morning was uncovered at Guisachan, near
		Tomich, about 35 miles from Inverness. A search was made among snow-covered undergrowth
		near a remote road leading to a gamekeeper's cottage. A policeman saw a skull protruding
		from a rhododendron bush and the body was then uncovered.'
		23 Jan 1978 - 'The final two bodies sought by police in their murder inquiries stretching
		across Scotland were found during the weekend. Yesterday afternoon they recovered a
		female body from a stream near Dalchonzie power station, Comrie, Tayside.
		'No identification was given but it is understood to be that of Mrs. Dorothy Scott-Elliot, aged
		60, whose husband, Mr. Walter Scott-Elliot, a former Labour MP, was found buried in Glen
		Affric, 35 miles from Inverness, last week.
		'Police dogs discovered the badly decomposed body of the woman but the search had been
		narrowed down by information given to the police. The same source helped police to find the
		shallow grave of a man near the Kirkleton Estate, Dumfries and Galloway, on Saturday.
		'Police did not identify the body, but it is believed to be that of Mr. David Wright, aged 30, a
		gardener, who disappeared last July while on a visit to one of the servants on the estate,
		which belongs to Lady Hudson, widow of a Conservative MP.
		'Lothian and Borders police said last night the body was discovered 15 miles from Braco,
		where the police search had been concentrated. No other bodies have been found and no
		other people are being sought by the police.
		'A man is to appear in court today. Another man has already been charged with theft. Police
		said both men were likely to face more serious charges soon.'
		**********************************
		The two men charged were Archibald Thompson Hall, aged 53, and Michael Anthony Kitto,
		aged 39. At their trial in May 1978, both pleaded guilty to Scott-Elliot's murder. Hall also
		admitted killing David Wright, who was butler to Lady Hudson. Evidence was given that Mr.
		Scott-Elliot had been throttled with a scarf and then beaten over the head with a spade in a
		lonely Scottish forest, and that Wright had been shot six times in the head and chest. Both
		were sentenced to life imprisonment.
		In November 1978, the two men were back in court to answer charges relating to the deaths
		of Mrs. Scott-Elliot, Mrs. Mary Coggle and Donald Thomson Hall, Archibald Hall's brother.
		Evidence was given that since May 1967, Hall had been butler to Lady Hudson at her Dumfries
		estate. While she was away, David Wright had stayed with him until mid-July 1977 when,
		following an argument, Hall had shot and killed Wright and buried his body near a stream. Hall
		then entered the employment of the Scott-Elliots, during which period he met Mrs. Coggle,
		the Scott-Elliot's housekeeper, and Michael Kitto. Hall decided to show Kitto over the Scott-
		Eliot's flat, but in so doing the pair disturbed Mrs. Scott-Elliot, and when she demanded to
		know the reason for Kitto's presence, she was smothered with a pillow. Her body was later
		placed in the car boot and Hall, Kitto, Mrs. Coggle and Walter Scott-Elliot (oblivious to the
		presence of his wife's body) drove to Inverness, near where Mr. Scott-Elliot was murdered.
		Mrs. Coggle too, was killed by the pair and her body was found in a stream in Dumfriesshire.
		Donald Hall was last seen alive on 15 January 1978 and his body was later found in a car boot.
		Both Archibald Hall and Kitto received much deserved additional life sentences for these last
		three murders.
