		CONSTITUENCY ABOLISHED 1983
		William Smith O'Brien, MP for Ennis 1828-1831 and Limerick County 1835-1848
		The following biography is taken from the Australian monthly magazine "Parade" in its issue
		for February, 1961. The article, not surprisingly, focuses on Smith O'Brien's period as a convict
		in Australia. It should also be noted that, while the article consistently refers to "Tasmania,"
		the correct name of the colony at that time was Van Diemen's Land - it did not become
		Tasmania until 1 January 1856.
		'On August 2, 1850, the schooner Victoria rode at anchor off Maria Island, on the south-east
		coast of Tasmania. From the ship a small boat pulled rapidly towards the beach, where a man
		was scrambling over rocks and seaweed to meet it. Suddenly a musket shot echoed in the
		quiet bay. A party of soldiers emerged on to the beach, waded into the water and seized the
		waiting man. From within a few yards of rescue and freedom, William Smith O'Brien, Irish
		patriot and convicted rebel, was dragged back to his solitary prison and four more years of
		exile.
		'Smith O'Brien was the most celebrated and colourful of all the band of Irish revolutionaries
		shipped to Australia after the bloody but abortive insurrection of July, 1848. Reprieved from
		the gallows, he was sentenced to transportation for life, but was freed after five years, his
		health broken and his political hopes crushed. O'Brien was the subject of ruthless persecution
		by the Tasmanian Governor. After his own escape attempt failed he was the central figure in
		plots to smuggle his comrades from under the nose of authority. He lived to quit Australia a
		hero, feasted by his Irish fellow-countrymen, and having added a notable name to the long
		list of political felons whom fate threw on our shores.
		'William Smith O'Brien, younger son of a landowning baronet [Sir Edward O'Brien, 4th baronet],
		was born in County Clare on October 17, 1803. He was always inordinately proud of his
		descent from one of the oldest Irish families. Educated in England at Harrow and Cambridge,
		young O'Brien grew up a staunch conservative, favouring Catholic emancipation but strongly
		opposed to the wilder demands of the Irish nationalists. He fought a duel with a lieutenant of
		the great "Liberator" Daniel O'Connell. When he entered Parliament in 1828, O'Brien bitterly
		attacked O'Connell's campaign for political separation from Britain.
		'Gradually, however, the deepening economic misery of Ireland burnt itself into the aristocratic
		mind of O'Brien. The onset of the Hungry Forties completed his conversion to the patriotic
		cause. When O'Connell was arrested for sedition in 1843, O'Brien was one of the founders of
		the Repeal Association. Soon he was second only to the old "Liberator" on the black list of
		Dublin Castle officialdom. As the spectres of famine and disease stalked hand in hand across
		Ireland, O'Brien became more violent. To the Young Ireland movement, even O'Connell was a
		weak and shilly-shallying compromiser.
		The split came in 1846. O'Brien, young Gavan Duffy [qv] (editor of the Young Ireland journal
		The Nation), Thomas Meagher, John Mitchel [qv] and others formed the Irish Confederation
		and broke with O'Connell. A year later the disillusioned Liberator was dead. Civil war, which he
		he had fought to avert, threatened to engulf Ireland. By 1848 the powder train of rebellion
		was ready for firing. While their disease-blighted potatoes rotted in the fields, thousands of
		Irish peasants lay down to die of starvation in their mud cabins. Countless numbers more fled
		in great waves of emigration.
		'On March 15, 1848, at a mass meeting in Dublin, O'Brien called on the Confederation to arm
		against the English tyrants. A few weeks later he led a delegation to Paris, where revolution
		had just hurled King Louis Philippe from the throne, and appealed to the French Republicans
		for aid in throwing off the British yoke. The new French rulers cautiously refused. On April 10,
		O'Brien vented his disappointment in his last and most firebrand speech in the House of
		Commons. Amid a bedlam of shouts and groans, he swore that the Confederation would
		proclaim an Irish Republic within a year unless its claims were met. Openly he called on
		Irishmen to arm themselves for the struggle.
		'In British eyes O'Brien was now a self-confessed traitor. He was arrested as soon as he
		returned to Dublin, but the case collapsed when the jury disagreed. Undaunted by this escape,
		O'Brien hastened on plans for the rebellion. In Dublin, the Confederation set up a military
		council of five members. Early August was the date fixed for a rising all over Ireland. Lord
		Clarendon, the British Lord Lieutenant. Replied by suspending the Habeas Corpus Act. Only a
		handful of the Confederate chiefs escaped the net when troops swooped on their Dublin head-
		quarters.
		'Meeting the survivors at Ballynakill, O'Brien decided on immediate action, but already the
		rebels were divided and disorganised. Failing to raise Kilkenny or Cashel, O'Brien fell back on
		the rural districts. By July 25, at Mullinahone, he had mustered an "army" of peasants armed
		only with pikes, clubs and a few ancient muskets. Four days later, while church bells pealed
		to rouse the countryside to support, O'Brien led his pitiful rabble against 50 troops barricaded
		in a house outside Ballingarry. The "battle of Widow McCormack's cabbage garden" was a
		bloody fiasco. The peasants fled in panic from the soldier's volleys. In other districts the
		rising petered out into sporadic murders and reprisals. With a price of £500 on his head
		O'Brien eluded capture for only a week. On August 5 he was seized by a railway official on
		Thurles station and sent to Clonmel to stand trial for high treason.
		'His conviction was certain. On October 9, he was sentenced to death. Half a dozen of his
		leading supporters were ordered to transportation to Tasmania for terms of up to 14 years.
		O'Brien's sentence was commuted to transportation for life, though he declared that he
		would sooner die and begged in vain that the execution be carried out.
		'On July 29, 1849, with his comrades Mitchel, Meagher, McManus O'Donohue and O'Doherty,
		the "most notorious traitor" Smith O'Brien sailed from Dublin Bay in the convict transport
		Swift. When the ship reached Hobart, O'Brien, unlike his compatriots, refused to apply for a
		ticket-of-leave by giving his parole to the Governor, Sir William Denison [1804-1871,
		Lieutenant-Governor of Van Diemen's Land 1847-1855 and later Governor of New South Wales
		and Madras]. As a result, while the others were allowed to live in comparative liberty, O'Brien
		was sent to the dreary, rock-bound penal settlement on Maria Island off the south-east coast
		of Tasmania. O'Brien was confined in a tiny two-roomed hut. When he was allowed to walk for
		exercise the free settlers were forbidden to speak to him on pain of being deported from their
		farms. Night and day he was watched by the sentry who cooked his coarse convict rations - a
		brutal ruffian who had served a long term on Norfolk Island for murder. Governor Denison
		refused to allow him books or papers and even, with petty malice, prevented his sympathisers
		from sending him extra food, wine and cigars from Hobart.
		'Before long, O'Brien's friends, led by a Catholic priest, a doctor and several other Hobart
		residents were actively planning for his escape. They smuggled news of their preparations to
		the prisoner.  By late July, 1850, all was ready. Captain Ellis, skipper of the schooner Victoria
		bound for California, was paid £400 to anchor off Maria Island and send a boat ashore to pick
		up O'Brien from the beach. O'Brien, after watching anxiously for several days, at last saw the
		sail on August 2. But unfortunately his watch-dog, Corporal Hamilton, had seen it too. As the
		schooner's boat pulled towards the shore, O'Brien dashed for the beach to meet it with
		Hamilton and the soldiers hot on his heels. Entangled in clinging seaweed among the rocks,
		O'Brien floundered helplessly till a musket shot over his head told him the attempt had failed.
		Pursued by the redcoats' curses, the boat withdrew out of range.
		'O'Brien was hauled back to his prison. Governor Denison, alarmed by the incident, soon
		transferred him to the greater security of the main convict establishment at Port Arthur. By
		now, O'Brien was "rapidly sinking in health and haunted by the ghosts of buried hopes." His
		fellow exiles sent him a petition begging him to join them in accepting a ticket-of-leave. At
		last the fiery rebel swallowed his pride and consented. On November 18, 1850, he stepped
		ashore in Hobart Town to the cheers of a rapturous welcome from his Irish sympathisers, free
		and exiled.
		Denison, however, was determined to exclude him from the society of Hobart. He ordered
		O'Brien to live in the New Norfolk district on the upper Derwent River [20 miles north-west of
		Hobart]. Here, in lodgings at Elwin's Inn, amid the peaceful surroundings of orchards, hop-
		gardens and farms, O'Brien settled down to reading, writing and talking Irish politics. His
		relatives in Ireland told him that if he was prepared to "make some kind of submission" to the
		British Government he would probably receive a free pardon. O'Brien ignored the hints.
		'Instead, he was soon mixed up in plots to smuggle some of his comrades out of Tasmania
		with Patrick Smyth, one of the 1848 rebels who had escaped to America after the collapse
		of the rising. Smyth made several visits to Australia in 1852 and 1853 to organise an escape
		route through American ships, and Thomas Meagher made a successful getaway to New York.
		In January, 1853, Smyth was back in Tasmania, secretly conferring with O'Brien, Mitchel and
		O'Donohue in Mitchel's farmhouse at Bothwell. O'Brien, a sick man, refused to stir. But by his
		aid, Mitchel made his way across country disguised as a priest and escaped from Hobart in
		the American brig Emma in the following July. [For further information, see the note regarding
		Mitchel under the constituency of Tipperary]
		'Early in 1854 Smyth turned up again in Melbourne, determined to rescue O'Brien himself. By
		then, however, O'Brien and the remaining exiles had been told that conditional pardons were
		on their way. In June, 1854, the pardons arrived - conditional upon the convicts agreeing
		never to return to Ireland. The Government was taking no chances with O'Brien's turbulent
		tongue.
		'The Irish community in Australia hailed O'Brien's freedom with an outburst of rejoicing,
		beginning with the presentation of an address in Launceston. When he crossed to Melbourne,
		the United Irishmen of Victoria - mostly miners from the gold diggings - feasted him at a
		sumptuous dinner and gave him a vase of solid gold made from Ballarat nuggets. A month
		later O'Brien sailed for Europe and settled with his family in Brussels. Enfeebled by sickness
		and the rigors of his confinement on Maria Island, he took little interest in Irish affairs.
		'In July, 1856, he was permitted to return to his homeland. After living in retirement for
		another eight years he died on June 18, 1864 while on holiday at a small inn at Bangor in
		Wales. The arrival of his body in Dublin was the scene of a huge patriotic demonstration.
		Weeping crowds followed the cortege to the church graveyard at Rathronan in County
		Limerick.'
		Elizabeth 'Bessie' Margaret Braddock, MP for Liverpool Exchange 1945-1970
		Elizabeth Margaret Bamber, who was always known as Bessie, was born in Liverpool in 1899.
		Her mother, Mary Bamber, was a lifelong radical and champion of underpaid working women.
		Bessie later said that her earliest memories were of watching her mother ladling out free
		soup to Liverpool strikers and seeing the expressions of despair on hungry faces still in the
		queue when the supply ran out.
		At 15, Bessie Bamber went off to her first job as a shop assistant. As she left the house her
		mother shouted after her: "And don't come home until you've joined the union."
		In 1922 she married Jack Braddock, who was then head of the Liverpool unemployment
		committee, and later leader of the Labour Party group in the Liverpool City Council. Both
		Bessie and Jack were members of the Communist Party, and the wedding date had been
		decided by the Party, on the basis that "if Jack gets stuck in prison again, contact with him
		will be easier if the pair of you are married."
		However, in 1924, the Braddocks resigned from the Party. Bessie later became one of the
		Communist Party's most vociferous critics because, she said, she was a rebel who refused
		to blindly follow orders without the right of any prior discussion. In 1930, she joined her
		husband as a Labour member of the Liverpool City Council and soon made her presence felt.
		On one occasion, she yelled at her opponents on the Council that she wished she had a
		machine-gun to turn on them. She told the Council that "we have a council rat-catcher,
		but he goes after the wrong sort of rats." In order to get a proper hearing before the
		Council, she would take a bell with her to the meetings and ring it loudly. Later she would
		appear with a megaphone through which she bellowed to gain attention. Several times, she
		was escorted from the Council chamber by police.
		Despite such antics, Bessie worked tirelessly to improve the conditions of the people she
		represented. At that time, Liverpool's infant mortality rate was the highest in England, and
		only declined after Bessie pushed through the building of modern baby clinics. Once she
		got a council flat scheme started by holding up a dead rat at a Council meeting, telling her
		fellow councillors that the rat had been found crawling over a child in a slum house.
		Following a stint as an ambulance driver during WW2, Bessie was returned for the Exchange
		division of Liverpool in the 1945 general election. Here she continued her uncompromising
		ways. In her maiden speech, she stated that "Our people are living in flea-ridden, bug-
		ridden, rat-ridden, lousy hell-holes. I will agitate and kick up a row until we get rid of these
		evils."
		Bessie was a very large woman, weighing about 16 stones, although she was only around
		5 feet, 2 inches tall, and was described as having a 50-40-50 figure. She irritated and
		amused other MPs with her pugnacious tactics and stubborn refusal to see any side of a
		question but her own. She had difficulty with the courtesies of Parliament, often referring
		to her opponents as "the honourable old man over there."
		Her weight and outsize figure made her the butt of jokes both inside and outside the House
		of Commons. On one occasion, Bessie accused a 10-stone Tory member of punching her on
		the shoulder during an argument in the House lobby. She added that, had this offence taken
		place outside the House, "the honourable member would not have been on his feet for two
		seconds." In 1953, she received a letter from the crew of the British submarine 'Scythian'
		requesting a pin-up picture of her. Her sailor admirers were delighted with the pictures she
		sent, one of the sailors telling a reporter that Bessie's picture had replaced those of
		Marilyn Monroe and other screen sex symbols and that the sailors would rather have photos
		of 'our Bessie.'
		Throughout her parliamentary career, Bessie was returned at election after election, with
		huge majorities. There were, however, some bumps along the road. In 1952, she became
		the first female MP to be suspended from the House. In 1954, she was the only member
		who refused to sign an 80th birthday presentation book honouring Sir Winston Churchill -
		her reasons were that, in his early career, Churchill had been involved in attacks on the
		working-class, particularly in strike-breaking incidents.
		Bessie retired at the 1970 general election and died five months later. Harold Wilson summed
		her up when he said that "she was as uncompromising as a steamroller."
		The Exeter election of December 1910
		At the declaration of the poll following voting in this election, the returning officer declared the
		number of votes for each candidate as St.Maur (Liberal) - 4,786 and Duke (Unionist) - 4,782,
		giving St.Maur a majority of 4
		On 29 December, Duke's solicitors filed a petition on his behalf which claimed that their client
		had received a majority of lawful votes, and alleging that some dead men whose names were
		still on the electoral roll had been impersonated by Liberal supporters.
		The petition was heard during April 1911, and during the hearing the number of votes for each
		of the candidates was adjusted on several occasions, until finally the votes were tied at 4,777
		each.
		A final decision in the matter was reached on 11 April 1911, as reported in 'The Times' the
		following day:-
		'The hearing of the Exeter Election Petition....was ended yesterday and Mr. Justice Ridley and
		Mr. Justice Channell announced their intention of reporting that Mr, Duke, the Unionist ex-
		member, who was declared by the returning officer at the General Election to have been
		defeated by Mr. St.Maur, the Liberal candidate, had been duly elected. The proceedings were
		resumed amid much suppressed excitement with the votes of each candidate standing at a
		total of 4,777. Various votes were challenged by St.Maur's side without success. Then with
		the figures still unaltered the case for the respondent [St.Maur] was closed. Counsel for Mr.
		Duke, the petitioner, immediately challenged the vote of a man who was said to have received
		payment for acting as tally clerk and had voted for Mr. St.Maur. Their Lordships disallowed this
		vote and the final figures were:-
		Mr. H. E. Duke (U.)    ..     ..     ..    ..     ..     ..   4,777
		Mr. H. St.Maur (L.) ..     ..     ..    ..     ..     ..   4,776
		Liberal majority of four converted into a Unionist majority of one'
