| James Hamilton Stanhope, MP for Buckingham 1817-1818, Fowey 1818-1819 and | |||||
| Dartmouth 1822-1825 | |||||
| Stanhope committed suicide in March 1825. The following report of the subsequent inquest | |||||
| into his death appeared in 'Jackson's Oxford Journal' on 12 March 1825:- | |||||
| 'On Saturday night some of the most respectable families in the neighbourhood of Hampstead | |||||
| and Highgate were thrown into great agitation by the intelligence that Colonel Stanhope, | |||||
| brother of Earl Stanhope, had been found hanging from a beam in one of the out-houses at | |||||
| Caen Wood, the seat of the Earl of Mansfield. A Coroner's Jury was summoned with remarkable | |||||
| haste, to meet at ten o'clock on Monday morning, at the Fox-under-the-Hill public house, | |||||
| Highgate. The Jury, upon being sworn, proceeded to view the premises where the body of the | |||||
| Colonel had been found suspended. It is an out-house in Caen Wood, at a considerable | |||||
| distance from the family mansion, where cattle are sheltered. The beam from which the body | |||||
| was cut down was almost 7 feet from the ground, and there lay across it a pair of braces, by | |||||
| which he had suspended himself. The Jury, after inspecting this spot, were conducted to the | |||||
| nearest lodge, where they viewed the body, which was laid out on a bed. The deceased was | |||||
| dressed in a common walking dress - his top coat was pulled down over the shoulders, his | |||||
| cravat was off, and there was a livid mark on the throat. A silk handkerchief, which he had | |||||
| tied to his braces, and fastened round his throat, was exhibited. There was no other mark of | |||||
| violence on the body. | |||||
| 'The first witness called was Wm. Wright, groom to the Earl of Mansfield. He stated that | |||||
| towards ten o'clock on Saturday night, in consequence of the very great alarm which | |||||
| prevailed in the mansion, he went with several others of the servants to search about the | |||||
| wood; he, as well as the rest, were apprehensive that something might have happened to | |||||
| the Colonel. After having searched several places, they went into the shed which the Jury | |||||
| had inspected. Witness was the first that entered the shed, and he started back on finding | |||||
| the Colonel suspended from a beam. Witness's fellow-servants cut down the body immediately; | |||||
| the extremities were quite cold. They immediately took the body to the nearest lodge, but | |||||
| life was extinct. | |||||
| 'J. Wheeler stated that he had been valet to the deceased upwards of 17 years, and had | |||||
| attended upon his master, as usual, on Saturday morning. The family usually dined at 7 | |||||
| o'clock, and a little before that time the bell rung to dress for dinner. Witness went to attend | |||||
| his master, but was greatly surprised at not finding him, as was usual. The deceased had | |||||
| received a wound at the storming of St. Sebastian [31 August 1813], in the Peninsular War. | |||||
| A shot had passed through the thin part of the shoulder-blade; that wound had never been | |||||
| cured and occasionally gave him great pain. About two years ago his wife, the eldest | |||||
| daughter of Lord Mansfield, died, and his grief at the loss of her was very great. Of late | |||||
| witness had observed that the deceased was very abstracted, was in the habit of sitting a | |||||
| long time, as if in a state of stupor, and then he would suddenly start up, as if from sleep | |||||
| or upon an alarm. Within a few days he had complained very much that he could get no | |||||
| sleep, in consequence of the pain he endured. The deceased was in general very sedate in | |||||
| his manner. | |||||
| 'James Alexander, an under gardener in the service of Lord Mansfield, deposed that he was at | |||||
| work in the grounds, when at about 20 minutes past four he observed the deceased going | |||||
| towards the wood, in which the out-house, where he was afterwards found suspended, was | |||||
| situated. Witness thought that the step of the deceased in going towards this place was | |||||
| remarkably hurried. | |||||
| 'The Coroner summed up the evidence; and the Jury returned a verdict to the effect, that the | |||||
| deceased had destroyed himself whilst labouring under a fit of temporary insanity.' | |||||
| Edmund Hope Verney, MP for Buckingham 1889-1891 | |||||
| In October 1890, a warrant was issued for the arrest of a "Mr. Wilson" on charges that "he | |||||
| counselled and procured, and conspired to procure, a female for immoral purposes," contrary | |||||
| to the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885. The alternative title to this Act was "An Act to | |||||
| make further provision for the Protection of Women and Girls, the suppression of brothels, | |||||
| and other purposes." One of these "other purposes" was included in Section 11 of the Act, | |||||
| which read "Any male person, who in public or private, commits, or is a party to the | |||||
| commission of, or procures, or attempts to procure the commission by any male person of | |||||
| any act of gross indecency shall be guilty of a misdemeanour, and being convicted shall be | |||||
| liable at the discretion of the Court for any term not exceeding two years, with or without | |||||
| hard labour." This section was known as the Labouchere Amendment, after the MP who | |||||
| proposed its addition to the Act, but, given its possible consequences to the homosexual | |||||
| population of the time, the clause soon became known as "the blackmailer's charter." It | |||||
| was under this law that Oscar Wilde was convicted and imprisoned, and another member | |||||
| of the House of Commons was expelled in 1892 - see the note under Belfast East relating | |||||
| to Edward de Cobain. | |||||
| For some months, the police had little luck in executing the warrant on Wilson, since he was | |||||
| unable to be found. In April 1891, however, the police were able to discover that Wilson's | |||||
| real name was Captain Edmund Hope Verney, MP for Buckingham, and a fresh warrant was | |||||
| obtained. | |||||
| The original warrant for Wilson's arrest was the result of the prosecution of a Frenchwoman | |||||
| named Eugenie Rouillier, who was charged with attempting to procure a 19 year old English | |||||
| girl named Nellie Maude Baskett for immoral purposes. According to the evidence given at | |||||
| her trial, Rouillier offered Miss Baskett a job as a travelling companion and took her off to | |||||
| Paris, where she was introduced to a number of gentlemen, including Wilson, "who | |||||
| conducted himself in such a manner that she realised what his intentions were." Miss | |||||
| Baskett fled Paris the next day. After her return to London, Nellie was with her mother in | |||||
| Westminster when she saw Wilson; "she clutched her mother's arm and said 'Mother, | |||||
| there is the beast Wilson.'" | |||||
| After a number of witnesses had identified Verney as being the same person as Wilson, | |||||
| Verney changed his plea to guilty on most of the charges, including that of having solicited | |||||
| and incited Rouillier to procure Nellie Baskett for unlawful purposes. He was accordingly | |||||
| sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment on 6 May 1891. On 12 May 1891, Verney was | |||||
| expelled from the House of Commons. | |||||
| Sir Edward Taswell Campbell, MP for Camberwell NW 1924-1929 and | |||||
| Bromley 1930-1945 | |||||
| Campbell was one of four men during the twentieth century who were posthumously elected | |||||
| to Parliament. The other three were Thomas Higgins (Galway North 1906), Archibald Noel | |||||
| Skelton (Scottish Universities 1935) and Leslie Pym (Monmouth 1945). For further | |||||
| information on each of these cases, see the notes at the foot of the page which contain | |||||
| the relevant constituencies. | |||||
| Polling in his seat took place on 5 July 1945. On 17 July 1945, Campbell died in hospital. | |||||
| In a remarkable coincidence, he died the same day as Leslie Pym, who was posthumously | |||||
| returned for Monmouth. The declaration of the poll occurred on 26 July, when he was | |||||
| posthumously declared elected. At the subsequent by-election, he was replaced by the | |||||
| future Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan, who had been defeated in Stockton on Tees | |||||
| in the 1945 general election. | |||||
| Gordon Campbell VC, MP for Burnley 1931-1935 | |||||
| Campbell was a Commander in the Royal Navy when he was awarded the Victoria Cross for | |||||
| his actions in the North Atlantic. The award was gazetted on 21 April 1917, the citation | |||||
| merely reading "in recognition of his conspicuous gallantry, consummate coolness, and skill | |||||
| in command of one of H.M. ships in action." | |||||
| Campbell commanded a number of Q ships during the Great War. Q ships were heavily armed | |||||
| merchant vessels whose weapons were concealed. Their purpose was to lure enemy | |||||
| submarines into making surface attacks, thus giving the Q ship the opportunity of sinking | |||||
| them. Campbell sank two submarines, and was, in turn, sunk by one. | |||||
