		Alexander MacCallum Scott, MP for Bridgeton 1910-1922
		Scott, together with his wife and three other passengers and two crew, were killed when
		the plane in which they were travelling crashed during its flight between Victoria, British
		Columbia and Seattle, Washington on 25 August 1928.
		The following report appeared in 'The Times' on 28 August 1928:-
		'Hope for the safety of British Columbia Airways monoplane G Catx is waning. It left on
		Saturday morning on the regular trip from Victoria to Seattle and its four passengers included
		Mr. Alexander McCallum Scott (a former M.P.) and his wife. Nothing has been seen or heard of
		the machine since it passed over Dungeness, Washington (30 miles across Fuca Straits from
		Victoria), 20 minutes following its take-off. Oil seen on the surface of Puget Sound, on the
		course of the normal flight, suggests a sea crash. The weather was foggy on Saturday
		morning. An alternative theory is that, fog-blinded, the machine crashed in the mountainous
		forest country of the Olympics. The pilot, Herald Walker, was a veteran American airman,
		and was accompanied by a relief pilot named Carson. The others missing are Mr. Holden, of
		Victoria, a physician, and Mr. Thomas Lake, Far Eastern manager of the Union Oil Company
		of San Francisco. A destroyer from Vancouver and all available local aircraft have made a
		fruitless search.
		'The triangular service, Vancouver-Victoria-Seattle, began a month ago with an accident,
		the Mayor, Mr. Taylor, being struck on the head by a propeller on the first trip. The machine
		is an all-metal trimotored Ford monoplane, with a land carriage, from Detroit. The journey is 80
		miles each way across Georgia Gulf, Fuca Straits, and Puget Sound. It is now urged that the
		machine used should have been a seaplane. The venture was begun by Victoria War airmen
		and was the first international air service on the Canadian Pacific coast.'
		The 'Los Angeles Times' of 30 August 1928 reported that 'Grim evidence of the fate which
		overtook the giant trimotored monoplane of the British Columbia Airways which vanished
		Saturday with seven on board, was washed up on the beach of Discovery Bay today, when
		two bodies, three wicker chairs and other wreckage drifted to the feet of members of the
		Coast Guard patrol. The first body found was that of Mrs. Alexander MacCallum Scott of
		London, whose husband also was among the victims of the crash.'
		Henry Fawcett, MP for Brighton 1865-1874 and Hackney 1874-1884
		Fawcett was born in Salisbury in 1833, the son of a successful businessman. He was
		educated at King's College School, London and at Cambridge University and, in 1858,
		was studying law at Lincoln's Inn.
		In September of that year, he was hunting pheasants on Harnham Hill, near Salisbury. As
		a pheasant broke from cover, he had the bad luck to walk in front of his father, who
		failed to see him until too late. Fawcett was hit by shotgun pellets in both eyes, completely
		blinding him. After his wounds healed, he returned to Cambridge, entering Trinity Hall to
		study political economy as a prelude to entering politics as a career. Relying entirely on
		memorizing the books that were read to him, he published an immensely successful Manual
		of Political Economy in 1863, and in the same year was appointed Professor of Political
		Economy at Cambridge.
		Beginning in 1860, he made a number of attempts to enter Parliament, but his blindness was
		viewed by his party as being an insuperable obstacle; moreover, his views were considered
		to be rather too radical. However, persistence paid off and he was elected for Brighton in
		1865.
		During a political meeting in 1865, news arrived that Abraham Lincoln had been assassinated.
		Fawcett's keen ears caught a chance remark by an 18-year-old girl who said, 'Better had it
		been the crowned heads of all Europe than Abraham Lincoln.' Declaring that he must meet
		the girl, Fawcett pushed his way towards the voice and, two years later, Millicent Garrett
		became Mrs Fawcett.
		The Fawcetts set up house within 15 minutes' walk to the House of Commons, where 'a
		most convenient seat, close to the door' had been provided for him. For recreation,
		Fawcett took up gardening, skating, rowing, fishing and riding.
		In 1880, his 15 years of parliamentary service were rewarded when he was appointed
		Postmaster General in Gladstone's cabinet. He rapidly proved himself to be a remarkably
		capable administrator. His innovations included the parcel post, postal notes [money orders],
		cheap telegrams, State savings facilities and State insurance.
		In November 1884, he was struck down with pleurisy and died. Few better examples of
		struggles to overcome physical handicaps can be found than Henry Fawcett. His wife
		survived him by 45 years, becoming a leading advocate of women's suffrage (but never a
		suffragette - she believed the suffragettes did more harm than good to the cause of
		woman's suffrage). She was made Dame Millicent Fawcett in 1925.
		Sir William Tindal Robertson, MP for Brighton 1886-1889
		Sir William, who was blind, committed suicide in October 1889. The following report appeared
		in the 'Glasgow Herald' on 7 October 1889:-
		'Sir William Tindal Robertson, M.P., committed suicide by cutting his throat yesterday morning
		at his residence in Belgrave Terrace, Brighton. The deceased had been ill for the past five
		months. His illness originated in the sprain of an ankle, and following this came other
		complications, culminating in a severe attack of mental depression. It is stated that this was
		intensified by overwork, but until a week ago nothing serious was anticipated by Lady
		Robertson or other members of the family. Sir Tindal's condition of late, however, had been
		such as to cause the gravest anxiety, and on Monday last Dr. Russell Reynolds was
		telegraphed for, and saw the hon. member at Brighton. As the result of his examination he
		said that there was no cause to fear that his brain would be affected. During the past week,
		however, the patient became still more depressed. He received every attention from Dr.
		Scatliff, his medical attendant, and Lady Tindal Robertson and Mr. Percy Tindal Robertson,
		one of his sons, were with him constantly. On Friday he was heard to remark that his
		sufferings were almost too much to bear. Beyond this there was nothing to indicate that he
		had intention of committing suicide. On the contrary, it was thought by all members of the
		family that he would recover, as about five years ago he had a somewhat similar illness.
		'At two o'clock yesterday morning the attendant went to his master's room, and gave him his
		usual supply of beef tea. He then seemed quiet, and appeared to have been asleep. The
		attendant did not go to the room again before a quarter to eight, when he found his master
		lying in a pool of blood on the bed with his throat cut. He had committed suicide with a razor.
		Dr. Lowe was called in, but the unfortunate gentleman was quite dead, having in the doctor's
		opinion been dead about an hour and a half. The sad news, on becoming known, produced a
		profound sensation in all circles in Brighton, as the hon. member was held in the highest
		esteem by all sections of society. An inquest will be held on the body to-day.
		'The deceased gentleman, who was born at Grantham in 1825, was returned to Parliament
		in November, 1886, on the death of Alderman David Smith, a Conservative, and was
		unopposed. His figure in the House of Commons was a familiar one during the past three years.
		As, like the late Professor [Henry] Fawcett [qv], he was blind, and naturally took an interest
		in the welfare of those similarly afflicted, and for some time served on the Royal Commission
		for inquiring into the condition of the blind. He was a physician, and has written works on
		scientific and medical subjects, and edited reports of proceedings of the British Association.
		He was knighted for his public services, January 1888.'
		At the subsequent inquest, the jury returned a verdict of suicide during temporary insanity.
