| William Fitzhardinge Berkeley,styled Viscount Dursley, later Earl Fitzhardinge | |||||
| MP for Gloucestershire 1810 | |||||
| Berkeley was the son of the 5th Earl of Berkeley and his long-term mistress, Mary Cole. | |||||
| In 1796, the 5th Earl and Mary were finally married, but the Earl gave out that the couple | |||||
| had already been married for more than 10 years at the time of this 'second' marriage. If | |||||
| this was in fact true, then William Berkeley was legitimate; if not, he was illegitimate, and | |||||
| could not inherit the Earldom. | |||||
| In 1799, the 5th Earl attempted to establish the legitimacy of his children who had been | |||||
| born prior to 1796 by producing and laying before the House of Lords Committee of | |||||
| Privileges evidence of the alleged marriage of 1785, but the Committee found itself | |||||
| unable to judge the matter. | |||||
| When the 5th Earl died in August 1810, William Berkeley was member for Gloucestershire. | |||||
| On the death of his father, Berkeley vacated his seat in the belief that he had now | |||||
| succeeded to the earldom and that he would receive a writ calling him to the House of | |||||
| Lords. However, his claim to the peerage was referred to the Committee of Privileges | |||||
| which ruled, on 2 July 1811, that his claim had not been made out, on the basis that | |||||
| the entry in the registry at Berkeley Church which recorded the 'marriage' of 1785 had | |||||
| been forged by the 5th Earl at a later date. For a lengthy discussion on this case, see the | |||||
| note under "Berkeley" in the Peerage pages. | |||||
| Berkeley was later created Baron Seagrave in 1831 and promoted to Earl Fitzhardinge in | |||||
| 1841. He appears to have earned for himself a highly unsavory reputation, beginning | |||||
| with his elopement in 1811 with Anne, Countess of Antrim in her own right and wife of | |||||
| Sir Henry Vane-Tempest, 2nd baronet. In his diaries, Greville described him as "an arrant | |||||
| blackguard" who was "notorious for his worthlessness." | |||||
| Arthur Alfred Lynch, MP for Galway 1901-1903 and Clare West 1909-1918 | |||||
| A hush fell over the High Court in London on 23 January 1903 as a tall, well-built Australian, | |||||
| Colonel Arthur Alfred Lynch, MP for Galway, rose in the dock to hear sentence passed on | |||||
| him for treason. Sternly, Mr. Justice Wills told Lynch that he had deserted England in her | |||||
| darkest hour to fight for the Boers in South Africa. "You sought, for gold, to dethrone Great | |||||
| Britain and make her name a byword and a reproach. You shed, or did your best to shed, | |||||
| your own countrymen's blood", the judge continued. Then, donning the traditional black cap, | |||||
| he sentenced Lynch to death. | |||||
| Fortunately for Lynch, influential friends intervened between him and the gallows. Within | |||||
| two days the death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. A year later, Lynch was | |||||
| released on licence and in 1907 he was granted a free pardon. Two years later, Lynch took | |||||
| his seat in the House of Commons as the elected member for Clare West, a stark contrast | |||||
| to the death cell he once occupied. | |||||
| Lynch was born in the gold-rush town of Smythesdale, near Ballarat, the son of an Irish civil | |||||
| engineer who had fought at the Eureka Stockade and a Scottish mother. He was educated | |||||
| at Grenville College, Ballarat and the University of Melbourne, where he graduated B.A. in | |||||
| 1885 and M.A. in 1887. Around 1890, he went to Berlin and studied scientific subjects and | |||||
| psychology. He then went to Paris to obtain a diploma in electrical engineering, after which | |||||
| he qualified in London as a doctor. | |||||
| In the July 1892 general election, Lynch stood for Galway, but was defeated by 51 votes. | |||||
| He then obtained a job with Alfred Harmsworth, later Viscount Northcliffe, who appointed | |||||
| him foreign correspondent in Paris. | |||||
| When war with the Boers flared in 1899, all Lynch's sympathies were with the Boers. He | |||||
| received commissions from London, Paris and New York newspapers to report the war on | |||||
| their behalf. Within days after arriving in the Boer capital of Pretoria, he formed the Second | |||||
| Irish Brigade of Volunteers to help the Boers and the Boer President Kruger appointed Lynch | |||||
| as their colonel. | |||||
| His first job was to protect the rear of the Boer force retreating after the relief of | |||||
| Ladysmith. He was then sent to the USA to win the support of the Irish immigrant | |||||
| population. While there he became friendly with Theodore Roosevelt. He returned to Paris, | |||||
| where he received word that the British, on the termination of the war, had agreed not to | |||||
| prosecute volunteers who had fought with the Boers. At the same time, he was approached | |||||
| by the Irish Nationalists to contest the seat of Galway at a by-election caused by the | |||||
| sitting member's succession to a peerage. He agreed, and was overwhelmingly elected in his | |||||
| absence. The British Government replied by issuing a warrant for Lynch's arrest the moment | |||||
| he stepped on British soil. | |||||
| On 12 June 1902, he was arrested by three Scotland Yard detectives who were waiting at | |||||
| the foot of the gangplank when he stepped ashore at Dover. He languished for seven | |||||
| months in prison until his trial for treason opened on 21 January 1903. Lynch frankly | |||||
| admitted he fought for the Boers. "I took up arms against the British for the same reason | |||||
| that my father joined the Ballarat miners at Eureka,because to both of us it was the strong | |||||
| oppressing the weak." | |||||
| The trial lasted three days and at its end, the jury took only 26 minutes to find him guilty. | |||||
| As soon as the sentence was passed, violent demonstrations flared in Ireland and America. | |||||
| Both Theodore Roosevelt and the "King of Grocers", Sir Thomas Lipton, interceded with King | |||||
| Edward VII. Within two days the sentence was commuted, and subsequently, after | |||||
| thousands had signed a petition, he was freed on licence and later granted a free pardon on | |||||
| 9 July 1907. | |||||
| At a by-election in 1909 and again at the January 1910 General Election, Lynch was | |||||
| returned for Clare West which he represented until 1918. During the war years, he did good | |||||
| service for the British government. In his autobiography "My Life Story" (1924) he claimed | |||||
| that he was one of the earliest to advocate unity of command. He was given the rank of | |||||
| colonel and endeavoured to enlist men in Ireland for the Allied cause, but without success. | |||||
| After losing his seat in 1918, he concentrated on his scientific and literary pursuits. He | |||||
| published at least 28 works by the time of his death from ptomaine poisoning in 1934. | |||||
| Thomas Higgins, MP for Galway North | |||||
| On four occasions during the twentieth century, members were posthumously elected to | |||||
| Parliament. These members were Thomas Higgins (Galway North in 1906 - see below), | |||||
| Noel Skelton (Combined Scottish Universities 1935), Sir Edward Taswell Campbell | |||||
| (Bromley 1945) 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 various | |||||
| constituencies. | |||||
| The following report is from 'The Times' of 27 January 1906:- | |||||
| 'Our Dublin correspondent telegraphs that the present position in North Galway is without | |||||
| precedent in the history of Irish Parliamentary elections. During the last Parliament, the | |||||
| sitting member, Colonel Nolan, incurred the hostility of the United Irish League by his | |||||
| independent political action, and by a series of lawsuits with some of his tenants. It was | |||||
| resolved to oppose an official candidate to Colonel Nolan at the general election, and at a | |||||
| recent convention at Tuam Mr. Thomas Higgins, president of the North Galway executive | |||||
| of the League, was selected as the candidate of the League. Both Colonel Nolan and Mr. | |||||
| Higgins were nominated in due course and the polling took place on Thursday. Feeling ran | |||||
| high in the district, and it was generally expected that there would be an exhaustive poll | |||||
| and that Mr. Higgins would be elected by a substantial majority. During the morning of | |||||
| Thursday, Mr. Higgins took an active part in bringing his supporters to the poll, and, | |||||
| shortly before noon, he drove in from Killereran at the head of a long line of cars which | |||||
| were conveying voters from that district. Immediately afterwards he entered Guy's Hotel | |||||
| and complained of feeling ill. An hour later he was obliged to take to his bed. He became | |||||
| rapidly worse, and the doctors who were called recognized that his case was hopeless. | |||||
| He was suffering from heart failure. Mr. Higgins died an hour after midnight. The news of | |||||
| his sudden illness was known to very few of his supporters, and, long after the poll had | |||||
| closed, crowds of his friends and opponents were shouting round the hotel where he was | |||||
| receiving the last rites of his Church. Last night Mr. Higgins's body was removed to the | |||||
| Roman Catholic Cathedral at Tuam and he will be buried today. | |||||
| 'When the news of Mr. Higgins's death was announced in Dublin yesterday morning the | |||||
| liveliest interest was aroused with regard to its effect on the result of the election, and | |||||
| this was increased when it became known that he had been returned at the head of the | |||||
| poll. The votes were counted yesterday at the Court-house, Galway, and after the result | |||||
| of the poll had been declared, Mr. Joseph Glynn, election agent for the late Mr. Higgins, | |||||
| demanded that Mr. Higgins should be declared duly elected as member of Parliament for | |||||
| North Galway. He argued that Mr. Higgins, having been alive at ten minutes to 1 o'clock | |||||
| yesterday morning, was alive at the close of the poll; that the count which took place | |||||
| yesterday was merely a continuation of the proceeding of Thursday; and that when the | |||||
| poll closed Mr. Higgins was elected, since the postponement of the count and the | |||||
| formal declaration was merely a matter of convenience for those concerned. Colonel | |||||
| Nolan said he deeply regretted that Mr. Higgins had not lived to enjoy the fruits of his | |||||
| victory; on the legal point he remained silent, as he knew nothing about it. | |||||
| 'The High Sheriff, Mr. Charles O'Farrell, acting on the advice of the Attorney-General for | |||||
| Ireland, refused to declare Mr. Higgins elected. Mr. O'Farrell afterwards informed a | |||||
| representative of the Press that his only remaining duty was to report the situation to | |||||
| the Speaker of the House of Commons. | |||||
| 'The legal problem created by the death of a winning candidate between the close of the | |||||
| poll and the declaration of the result was the principal subject of conversation yesterday | |||||
| in the Law Library at the Four Courts. There seemed to be a general agreement of | |||||
| opinion among the leaders of the Bar that the death of Mr. Higgins must be followed by a | |||||
| fresh election. The grounds of the Attorney-General's advice, on which the Sheriff acted | |||||
| yesterday at Galway, are not known; neither is it known in what manner or at what time | |||||
| the Irish authorities - presumably, in this case, the returning officer - will come to a | |||||
| definite decision. It is understood that no exact provision is made in any Act of Parliament | |||||
| for such a situation as has arisen in North Galway. It seems clear, however, that Mr. | |||||
| Higgins was duly elected to be member of Parliament for the division; and it is generally | |||||
| believed that matters will now proceed in the same manner as if he had died at any time | |||||
| after the formal declaration of the poll and before the meeting of Parliament.' | |||||
