| Edward Marjoribanks, MP for Eastbourne 1929-1932 | |||||
| Marjoribanks (pronounced "Marchbanks") was the son of Archibald John Marjoribanks and | |||||
| Elizabeth Brown, who were married in 1897. After the death of Archibald, Elizabeth married | |||||
| her first cousin, Douglas McGarel Hogg, who was later created Viscount Hailsham, and who | |||||
| was the father of Quintin Hogg, Baron Hailsham of St. Marylebone and a major political figure | |||||
| during the second half of the twentieth century. As a result, Edward Marjoribanks was | |||||
| Quintin Hogg's half-brother. | |||||
| Marjoribanks was elected to the House of Commons for the seat of Eastbourne at the | |||||
| general election in May 1929 in the interest of the Conservative Party, and remained the | |||||
| member until his death in April 1932. The following report of his death appeared in the | |||||
| 'Manchester Guardian' of 4 April 1932:- | |||||
| 'We regret to announce the death, under tragic circumstances, of Mr. Edward Marjoribanks, | |||||
| M.P., one of the most promising of the younger Conservatives. Mr. Marjoribanks was found | |||||
| by his stepfather, Lord Hailsham (Secretary for War), shot dead in the billiard-room of the | |||||
| latter's house, Carter's Corner Place, near Hailsham, on Saturday night. Lord Hailsham, who | |||||
| was greatly distressed, sent at once for a doctor and the police. | |||||
| 'Mr. Marjoribanks, who was 32 years of age, had recently been suffering from the effects of | |||||
| overwork, and particularly from insomnia. | |||||
| 'Mr. Marjoribanks was found lying partly across a chair with a gunshot wound in his chest. | |||||
| Near the body was a double-barrelled sporting gun. Adjoining the billiard room is a small | |||||
| anteroom, which is used as a gun-room, and it is believed that it was here that the gun was | |||||
| discharged. Marks on the floor and walls indicate that Mr. Marjoribanks was standing in the | |||||
| gunroom when he received the wound. | |||||
| 'He fell to the floor, but apparently, retaining consciousness, staggered or crawled through | |||||
| the open doorway into the billiard-room, collapsed across the chair, and died immediately. | |||||
| Only one barrel of the gun had been discharged. On the floor, it is understood, two live | |||||
| cartridges were found. | |||||
| 'Mr. Marjoribanks was to have passed the weekend at Lord Hailsham's home before returning | |||||
| to Westminster for the resumption of the House of Commons sittings tomorrow. In addition | |||||
| to his duties at Westminster he had been engaged with unremitting energy on the | |||||
| completion of a life of Lord Carson which he was writing, and the strain had been obviously | |||||
| telling on him. He left London on Monday with Mr. Quintin McGarel Hogg (Lord Hailsham's | |||||
| son) to spend a quiet week-end in the country. While at Carter's Corner Place he had been | |||||
| passing the time quietly on the beautiful estate, which lies on a hill off the Battle-Lewes | |||||
| Road outside Hailsham. Mr. Marjoribanks had been seen about the house earlier in the day, | |||||
| and had taken meals with his stepfather.' | |||||
| Volume 1 of Marjoribanks's life of Lord Carson was published posthumously later that year, | |||||
| and was subsequently completed in two further volumes written by Ian Colvin in 1934 and | |||||
| 1936. | |||||
| Although the above report only hints at it, there seems to be little doubt that Marjoribanks's | |||||
| death was not an accident, but rather as the result of suicide. One version of events has it | |||||
| that it was not overwork which caused the suicide, but the fact that he had been jilted by | |||||
| a woman. | |||||
| George Osbaldeston, MP for East Retford 1812-1818 | |||||
| The following biography of George Osbaldeston appeared in the Australian monthly magazine | |||||
| 'Parade' in its issue for September 1971. It contains a number of errors, which I have done | |||||
| my best to correct:- | |||||
| 'When Squire Osbaldeston, England's supreme sportsman, got the fox-hunting urge, he didn't | |||||
| do things by halves. Hunting with two dog packs - one for morning, the other for afternoon - | |||||
| he rode from Monday to Saturday, resting only on the Sabbath. | |||||
| 'Then came one day in 1825 when the intrepid Osbaldeston's horse fell at a jump and Sir John | |||||
| Musgrave's mount, galloping at full pelt behind, tripped and crashed on to the squire's prone | |||||
| body. He suffered multiple fractures, but the most obvious break was in one leg. Through the | |||||
| torn flesh protruded the splintered end of the tibia. Blood overflowed from the injured man's | |||||
| riding boot. Surrounded by hastily summoned medicos, who were debating whether the | |||||
| shattered limb should be amputated, the squire mused to a pale-faced friend standing nearby: | |||||
| "You know," he said, "I'm so damned unlucky at this hunting. I'm thinking seriously of going | |||||
| out no more than a couple of times a week." | |||||
| 'Actually the irrepressible squire didn't keep his word, for after 18 months in hospital he was | |||||
| back at his old trick of two-pack, six-day-a-week hunting. In between these hunting sprees, | |||||
| he took time out to prove he was still the country's greatest cricketer, tennis player, pistol | |||||
| shot, and, although an amateur, a bare-knuckle exponent who could hold his own with anyone | |||||
| but the immortal John Gully. He was also a top-flight sculler and wrestler, indeed a champion | |||||
| of champions. | |||||
| 'But all these sporting activities cost money and Squire Osbaldeston was never a penny- | |||||
| pincher. Indeed, to sate his sporting appetite, he blew his fortune on it - about $8 million in | |||||
| modern [i.e.1971] value. | |||||
| 'George Osbaldeston, the sporting phenomenon of the 19th century, was born in Yorkshire in | |||||
| 1787 [sic - actually 26 Dec 1786] the son of a wealthy landowner. When the boy was six his | |||||
| father [MP for Scarborough 1784-1790] died, leaving him the "squire" title and the ownership | |||||
| of 20,000 valuable acres complete with tenants. Young George went to Eton [from whence he | |||||
| was expelled] and Oxford without distinction. Later his mother insisted he entered Parliament, | |||||
| but sheer boredom drove him out and he took a post as High Sheriff of the York Assizes. | |||||
| By now Osbaldeston had made a name for himself as one of the most colourful of the wealthy | |||||
| and noble breed of sporting blades. He laid bets in thousands of pounds, drank his half-dozen | |||||
| bottles of claret nightly - and astounded fans with his cricket prowess. Not only could he bowl | |||||
| a ball right across Lords, but his speed deliveries so terrified players on the receiving end that | |||||
| pads were used by batsmen for the first time. In one game, when Osbaldeston as a batsman | |||||
| was smashing the bowlers all over the ground, he was unexpectedly caught by a farmer, Peter | |||||
| Bramley, who executed a brilliant catch. So delighted was Osbaldeston by young Bramley's | |||||
| amazing feat that he presented the farmer with one of the tall white hats he invariably wore. | |||||
| 'Not long after this game Bramley was caught poaching by a gamekeeper, but when the culprit | |||||
| said his name was Squire George Osbaldeston and showed the gamekeeper the name written | |||||
| in the hat's lining, all was forgiven. To ease the gamekeeper's discomfort, Bramley invited the | |||||
| man to share a meal with him at the George Inn. Both ate the best fare on the menu and the | |||||
| host then directed that the bill be sent to Squire Osbaldeston. | |||||
| 'Osbaldeston never seemed to lose his cricketing skill. Indeed, at 60, he was still able to score | |||||
| 66 for Kent against Surrey and then skittle eight wickets for 22. As a tennis player there was | |||||
| no one in England to match him. In fact, when the mighty French champion, Louis Barre | |||||
| toured, Osbaldeston was the only man in the country to defeat the visitor. Later, he beat the | |||||
| Frenchman again, this time using a large glove against Barre's racquet. As a rifle and pistol | |||||
| shot, Osbaldeston was supreme, once bringing down 98 pheasants with 100 shots and then | |||||
| going on to collect 16 snipe with 16 shots. | |||||
| Osbaldeston was only 19 when, in the field of fox-hunting, he challenged England's top cross- | |||||
| country horseman, Dick Christian [1779-1862], to a race over a dangerous four-mile course in | |||||
| Derbyshire. The wager was 1000 guineas. Osbaldeston collected the debt by practically riding | |||||
| Christian into the ground. He then calmly returned to his six-day-a-week fox-hunting stint. | |||||
| On the very day he was released from hospital after a spell of 18 months on his back allowing | |||||
| shattered bones to mend after another rider's horse fell on him, Osbaldeston was back in the | |||||
| saddle. | |||||
| 'In 1831, when the squire was 45, he was one of a group of sporting blades in a London club | |||||
| when the conversation turned to a recent 190-mile ride from London to York in 10 hours. | |||||
| Osbaldeston scoffed at this feat and assured his companions that he could beat the time. | |||||
| General Charretie at once bet the sportsman 1000 guineas he couldn't do it. When the rules | |||||
| of the ride were drawn up, it was agreed Osbaldeston must stop only to change horses, but | |||||
| he could use as many mounts as he wished. The squire decided to use his own hacks, as well | |||||
| as several racehorses owned by his friend John Gully. Not only did Gully lend his horses without | |||||
| charge, but he bet a fortune at 10-1 that Osbaldeston would break nine hours for 200 miles. | |||||
| At 7 am on November 5, 1831, Squire Osbaldeston set out on his epic ride. Just eight hours | |||||
| and 42 minutes later, he finished the course [He did not ride from York to London, but around | |||||
| the Newmarket racecourse, using 28 horses]. | |||||
| 'The squire was an equally brilliant coachman and a member of the Four-in-Hand Club which | |||||
| conducted races from London to Brighton for bets of more than 10,000 guineas. There was a | |||||
| time when another club member, Paul Methuen [later 1st Baron Methuen] laid Osbaldeston | |||||
| Brentford [other sources say Greenwich]. The driver of the regular coach was the notorious | |||||
| Hell-Fire Dick, a reinsman of England-wide fame. Not that Dick's reputation for speed deterred | |||||
| the squire. But, Methuen said, Osbaldeston must carry a substantial load and he must provide | |||||
| this ballast himself. Osbaldeston chose 20 heavily built guardsmen. By the time the soldiers | |||||
| were all aboard, the squire's coach was sitting heavily on its springs, and by the time the race | |||||
| was half over the guardsmen were wishing they had never come. Never had coach passengers | |||||
| been so terrified. With Osbaldeston whipping his horses to ever greater effort the coach | |||||
| bucked, swayed and skidded over the pot-holed roads, doing everything except capsize. | |||||
| Reaching Brentford at last, Osbaldeston saw his fear-stricken passengers stagger into an inn | |||||
| to steady their nerves. Just 20 minutes later Hell-Fire Dick came into view in a swirl of dust. | |||||
| 'George Osbaldeston was also a champion sculler and once licked the famed waterman Tom | |||||
| Watson in a race on the Thames. It was a tragic day for Watson's supporters because they | |||||
| had laid out £20,000 on their man and saw the lot go by the huge margin of more than 100 | |||||
| yards. | |||||
| 'As a pistol shot and duellist, the short, nuggety Osbaldeston probably had no peer in all | |||||
| England. Certainly he was better than the imperious turf tycoon, Lord George Bentinck. At | |||||
| Heaton Park races in September 1843 [although the Dictionary of National Biography and | |||||
| other reliable sources say 1831], Osbaldeston won a £400 bet from Bentinck, but after several | |||||
| months the nobleman still hadn't paid up. When, at Newmarket, Osbaldeston demanded he be | |||||
| paid the sum, Bentinck insultingly handed it over by counting out the money in single notes. | |||||
| The result was a demand from Osbaldeston, per medium of a messenger, for a duel or an | |||||
| apology. When his lordship sneeringly declined to be a party to such childishness and ordered | |||||
| the messenger to pass his comment on to his master, Osbaldeston exploded: "You go back and | |||||
| tell Lord George at once that I will pull his nose the first time we meet." Bentinck, to save his | |||||
| honour, agreed to the duel in Wormwood Scrubs, with his friend Colonel Anson as a biased | |||||
| umpire. Indeed, the colonel was so biased that he arranged with his friend to break the rhythm | |||||
| of the count to three to let Bentinck get off the first shot. Bentinck did just that - and missed. | |||||
| Osbaldeston then fired and blasted his opponent's hat off. Honour satisfied, the squire | |||||
| immediately left the field of battle. | |||||
| 'Although the squire was a brilliant pugilist, he decided to back-pedal smartly when one day his | |||||
| friend John Gully suddenly lost his temper with him and jumped to his feet, fists raised. | |||||
| Osbaldeston forgot about his own fists and grabbed a poker instead, and that was when a | |||||
| friend intervened and restored peace. Actually, Osbaldeston was so good with his fists that, | |||||
| although an amateur, he had to find opponents in the professional ranks to give him a worth- | |||||
| while match. Once, behind a London tavern, he took on the notorious brawler Dick Curtis, and | |||||
| in the 45th round hit his opponent with a mighty blow that laid him unconscious for almost half | |||||
| an hour. When Curtis came to, Osbaldeston gave him £100 because he had "put up a good | |||||
| scrap." | |||||
| 'Wrestling was another of the amazing squire's sports, but like everything else he did, he | |||||
| plunged into the sport's finer points like a champion. In 1833 he won £200 from the Lancashire | |||||
| champion Hunter after pinning his opponent just two minutes after the bout began. The squire | |||||
| was also one of England's most sought-after prize-fight referees and controlled the Tom | |||||
| Cannon-Clem Ward battle in 1825 for the championship of England. In 1845 he officiated at the | |||||
| Bendigo-Gaunt set-to for the same title. Immediately he gave the fight to Bendigo, Gaunt | |||||
| supporters charged into the ring to get at the referee. But Osbaldeston, with the aid of a set | |||||
| of brass knuckles gave such a good account of himself that the mob turned and retreated. | |||||
| 'As the squire's sporting skill was eroded by advancing years, so did gambling and unscrupulous | |||||
| estate managers make inroads into his fortune. He sold his estate, moved to London, married a | |||||
| widow and settled down to a peaceful old age. Squire George Osbaldeston, one of the most | |||||
| versatile sporting figures the world has known died at his St.John's Wood residence in London | |||||
| in 1866. He was 79.' | |||||
| Evan Frank Mottram Durbin, MP for Edmonton 1945-1948 | |||||
| Evan Durbin drowned while rescuing one of his children from a heavy sea. 'The Times' report | |||||
| below appeared on 4 September 1948. | |||||
| 'Mr. Evan F. M. Durbin, Labour M.P. for Edmonton and Parliamentary Secretary to the | |||||
| Minister of Works, was drowned yesterday while going to the assistance of one of his | |||||
| children in a heavy sea at Crackington Haven, near Bude [on the northern coast of | |||||
| Cornwall]. The accident occurred at about 11.30 a.m., half-an-hour before low water. | |||||
| 'Mr. Durbin, who was on holiday with his wife and their three children, was on the beach at | |||||
| Strangles, near Crackington Haven, some 10 miles south of Bude. With them were friends, | |||||
| including Professor Thomas Humphrey Marshall, of the London School of Economics, and his | |||||
| wife. One of Mr. Durbin's children and another child were paddling in the water near some | |||||
| rocks. The beach at low water is very treacherous because the strong undercurrent | |||||
| creates deep pot-holes near the rocks. | |||||
| 'Mr. Durbin saw that the children were in difficulties and went out to them. They appeared | |||||
| to be getting into deep water. He brought one of the children on to the beach, but by this | |||||
| time his daughter had been carried out a short distance from the rocks. He returned to her, | |||||
| brought her back to the rocks, and placed her in a position of safety. | |||||
| 'Mrs. Durbin by this time had scrambled across the rocks and gone to the water's edge. | |||||
| While she was attending to her daughter Mr. Durbin was being carried out to sea by the | |||||
| strong receding undercurrent. By the time Mrs. Durbin had turned around to see how her | |||||
| husband was faring, he had disappeared. | |||||
| 'The police at Stratton, near Bude, were informed and searched at low water, but did not | |||||
| succeed in recovering the body. They hoped to continue the search when the tide again | |||||
| receded before darkness fell, and if unsuccessful then, intended to search again this | |||||
| morning. | |||||
| 'A number of similar drowning accidents have occurred at this spot. | |||||
| 'Mr. Durbin, aged 42, was appointed Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works in | |||||
| March last year [1947]. He was Parliamentary private secretary to the Chancellor of the | |||||
| Exchequer until his appointment as a Minister last year. In 1942 he was appointed personal | |||||
| assistant to Mr. Attlee, then deputy Prime Minister. He was the son of a Baptist minister | |||||
| and started his education at an elementary school in Devon. Scholarships took him through | |||||
| secondary and public schools to Oxford and later, until 1947, he was a lecturer in economics | |||||
| at London University. He was Parliamentary Labour candidate at East Grinstead in 1931 and | |||||
| at Gillingham, Kent in 1935…..' | |||||
| A further report in 'The Times' of 16 September states that the body of a man, thought to | |||||
| be Evan Durbin, had been recovered by the police at Strangles Beach on the previous day. | |||||
