|
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. |

Richard Martin was known during his lifetime as
"Humanity" Martin due to his long and |
|
|
|
ultimately successful campaign to protect the
rights of animals, which culminated in his |
|
|
|
helping to found the Royal Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Apart from his humanitarian work, Martin led a
very eventful life. He is reputed to have fought |
|
|
over 100 duels, earning him the nickname of
"Hairtrigger Dick." He survived two shipwrecks and |
|
|
had the knack of being in the wrong place at
the wrong time, being in America at the start of |
|
|
American War of Independence, and in Paris when
the French Revolution broke out. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the general election in 1826, Martin was
unseated when it was found that he was guilty |
|
|
of illegal intimidation during the election.
Because this meant he no longer had any protection |
|
|
against being sued for debt, he fled the
country and settled at Boulogne in France, where he |
|
|
died in 1834. |

R.S.P.C.A. appeared in the July 1960 issue of the |

'In October, 1837, the less-enlightened
citizens of the small Lincolnshire town of Stamford let |
|
|
a bull loose in the town, hunted it, slashed
it, worried it with savage dogs till it fell a mangled |
|
|
hulk on the cobbles. It was the high spot of an
annual carnival of cruelty, which hulking louts |
|
|
referred to as one of the fine ennobling
traditions of the day. Next October, they decided to |
|
|
repeat the performance with two bulls.
Preparations were well under way when a troop of |
|
|
dragoons clattered into the town. There was to
be no more bull running, declared their captain |
|
|
briskly. The newly-founded and
largely-execrated Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to |
|
|
Animals had won one of its greatest victories. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The society had been fighting an uphill battle
ever since a handful of humanitarians and philan- |
|
|
thropists had met in Old Slaughter's Coffee
House, London, on June 16, 1824, and pledged |
|
|
themselves to fight the wanton barbarities of
an age that was in truth described as "the hell |
|
|
of the animals." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Three men - a politician, a clergyman and an
inventor - were the pioneers who launched the |
|
|
first battles to end the horror. The
politician, Richard Martin, in 1822 forced through Parliament |
|
|
the first Act in history to protect animals.
The clergyman, Rev. Arthur Broome [1779-1837], |
|
|
threw away a promising church career to become
the society's first secretary, went to prison |
|
|
because he made himself responsible for its
debts, and died in poverty. The inventor, Lewis |
|
|
Gompertz [c 1783-1861], financed the society's
first inspectors - the men who risked their |
|
|
lives to expose the worst cases of cruelty to
animals, and to pile up an indictment so grisly |
|
|
and damning that even hardened officialdom was
goaded into action. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'For 50 years before the R.S.P.C.A. came into
existence humane individuals had been raising |
|
|
lonely voices of protest against the hell of
the animals. In 1776 Dr. Humphrey Primatt [1736- |
|
|
1779] published his "Dissertation on the
Duty of Mercy to Brute Animals" - a devastating |
|
|
document that was many times later reprinted
and distributed in thousands of pamphlets. |
|
|
Not till 1800 came the first attempt at
legislative action, when a Bill to prohibit bull-baiting |
|
|
was thrown out after the future Prime Minister
[George] Canning described the sport as |
|
|
|
"inspiring courage and producing a noble
elevation of the mind." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A year later an impetuous little Irish M.P.
from Galway, named Richard Martin, took his seat |
|
|
in the Commons. For the next quarter of a
century he was to fight with unrelenting zeal for |
|
|
animals' cause. When he rose to speak he was
greeted with yelping, catcalls and roars of |
|
|
derision. He was christened the "Member
for Barking." The drovers of Smithfield market burned |
|
|
him in effigy. Farmers threatened to stone him
in the country towns. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Smithfield market was the main target of
Martin's attacks - the vast open shambles of filth |
|
|
and blood to which thousands of beasts were
driven every week to be slaughtered for the |
|
|
dinner tables of London's citizens. Martin told
how the roads to the market were lined with |
|
|
dying and mutilated cattle, their ears torn off
by dogs, their eyes knocked out and legs broken |
|
|
by the drovers' clubs, so exhausted from thirst
that "they crowded together to suck up the |
|
|
filth from the street gutters." He told of noisome underground
slaughterhouses where sheep |
|
|
were flayed alive, pigs beaten to death to make
their flesh tender, and calves were hung up |
|
|
by iron hooks through the nose and slowly bled
to death, "their jaws being closely muzzled |
|
|
with straps lest the public be attracted by
their moans." Cock-fighting, bull-baiting, the cruel |
|
|
treatment of dogs and coach horses all were
grist to Martin's ceaseless campaign. But only |
|
|
slowly and piecemeal could he convert the
stubborn stupidity of Parliament. At last, in 1822, |
|
|
he forced his first Bill through the House, to
prevent the cruel and improper treatment of |
|
|
cattle. It was the first legislation anywhere
in the world to curb's man's inhumanity to animals. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Meanwhile, outside Parliament, a small and
devoted band was forming to spread the campaign |
|
|
throughout the length of Britain. Foremost
among them was a quiet, rather sickly, 40-years- |
|
|
old clergyman named Arthur Broome. In 1820
Broome had come from a peaceful parish in rural |
|
|
Kent to be vicar of Bromley-by-Bow, in east
London. His heart was filled with horror at the |
|
|
vile treatment of animals in the great city -
the starving costers' dogs, the coach horses with |
|
|
with their flanks raw from beating, the cats
flung to suffocate or drown in the fetid filth of the |
|
|
Tower ditch. Broome wrote pamphlets, edited a
new issue of Primatt's historic book, and |
|
|
tramped night and day round the London streets
to collect his appalling dossier of facts. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Then, in October, 1822, a few months after
"Martin's Act" became law, he called a meeting at |
|
|
Old Slaughter's Coffee House in St. Martin's
Lane. The house, built in 1692, had long been |
|
|
famous as the resort of writers, painters and
émigré French aristocrats. In its smoky, timber- |
|
|
beamed old coffee room the Royal Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was to be |
|
|
born. The meeting was a failure. Far from
despairing, Broome promptly resigned his church |
|
|
living - despite the protests of his bishop
that he had a promising future - and devoted the |
|
|
whole of his life to his chosen cause. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'On June 16, 1824, Broome called another
meeting at Old Slaughter's. This time, some of the |
|
|
greatest reform leaders in Parliament threw
their weight behind the movement. In the chair |
|
|
was the book-collector and humanitarian, Thomas
Fowell Buxton. With him came the famous |
|
|
anti-slavery leader, William Wilberforce, the
great law reformer, Sir James Mackintosh, and |
|
|
Richard Martin, the author of Martin's
Act. A Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals |
|
|
was formed. Broome was appointed first
secretary. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The society's first act was to appoint
"inspectors" to scour the streets and markets of London |
|
|
and collect evidence. Broome was one. The only
other to begin with was a man named |
|
|
|
Wheeler, who was to keep an eye on the
Smithfield drovers. Broome dragged into light the vile |
|
|
race of cat skinners, who stripped the skins
from living cats and sold them to the East End fur |
|
|
dealers. In one den, occupied by a woman and
her two daughters, he found the remains of |
|
|
150 cats, some still quivering in the last
throes of agony. He discovered cab drivers who |
|
|
bought aged horses from the knackeries and
drove them at night till they dropped dead in the |
|
|
shafts. Often, the wretched horses were beaten
to death where they fell. In some country |
|
|
districts dogs were hired out as draught
animals at a penny a day. On the Brighton road they |
|
|
dragged loads of more than 500lb., marking
their trail with the bloodstained prints of their raw |
|
|
pads. Canaries blinded to "sweeten their
throats," performing bears forced to dance on heated |
|
|
bricks, dogs trained to tear each other to the
ring - so the catalogue of horrors piled up to |
|
|
startle and then convert the public conscience. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The society, however, was having a desperate
battle for existence. Its funds were meagre. |
|
|
Debts mounted up. Broome, almost penniless
after losing his church stipend, made himself |
|
|
responsible as secretary for the society's
debts. In 1826 the duns moved into the humble |
|
|
office in Regent St. Broome was arrested and
flung into a debtors' prison. He was rescued by |
|
|
Richard Martin. By early 1828 the society was
again faced with bankruptcy. Broome, who had |
|
|
been forced to take on literary hack work to
keep himself from starvation, resigned to make |
|
|
way for a new secretary who had adequate
private means. Broome remained a member of |
|
|
the committee, but his heroic efforts had
almost ruined him physically. He died in poverty in |
|
|
Birmingham on July 16, 1837, having sacrificed
both health and wealth for the animals' cause. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The new secretary, Lewis Gompertz, third of
the society's real founders, was a very different |
|
|
but no less inspiring character. He lived to
see the R.S.P.C.A. well on the road to its present |
|
|
fame.
Gompertz was an inventor and mathematician, in some respects an
eccentric figure, |
|
|
whose patents included shot-proof ships,
fortresses that deflected cannon balls back on the |
|
|
firers, a "mechanical cure for
apoplexy," and several engineering devices that are still in |
|
|
|
common use today. Many of his ideas, including
steam carriages, were designed to make the |
|
|
lives of animals easier. Few of them had any
practical value in his day. Gompertz was |
|
|
|
secretary of the society for five years, but
the period was the turning point in its existence. |
|
|
He lifted it out of financial chaos, paid for
the publication of thousands of pamphlets himself, |
|
|
and won hundreds of supporters for its aims.
Dissension forced Gompertz to resign in 1832. |
|
|
For some years he conducted a rival
organisation, the Animals' Friend Society, but it quickly |
|
|
faded away when Gompertz himself retired in
ill-health in 1846. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The liberal Parliament elected after the great
Reform Bill of 1832 opened the way to many of |
|
|
the measures for which the society had been
fighting, though prejudice and violent opposition |
|
|
still lingered, especially in the country. In
1835 the first comprehensive Bill to protect all |
|
|
domestic animals went through Parliament with
practically no debate. Cock-fighting and bull |
|
|
and bear baiting - traditional sports dating
from medieval times - were banned too, despite |
|
|
the grumbles of diehard squires. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Followers of the ancient "sports"
did not surrender without riots and bloodshed. One of the |
|
|
society's inspectors was beaten to death when
he tried to stop a bull-baiting at Hanworth. |
|
|
Another had an eye knocked out when a Lichfield
mob stoned him with cobbles. The climax |
|
|
came with the annual bull running at Stamford,
Lincolnshire. For centuries it had been the |
|
|
custom, each October, to set a bull loose in
the town's streets and hunt it to death with |
|
|
savage dogs. In 1836 the society sent its most
intrepid inspector, Henry Thomas, to the scene. |
|
|
Thomas watched the revolting spectacle, saw the
mangled bull dragged down and worried to |
|
|
death, and immediately launched a prosecution
in the society's name against some of the |
|
|
leading citizens. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'At the Lincoln Assizes in July, 1837, the
"bull running" promoters were found guilty and bound |
|
|
over. Three months later the Stamford mob
defied the law and butchered another bull, |
|
|
|
swearing to lynch Thomas if he set foot in the
town. By now, however, the society had roused |
|
|
public wrath throughout the country.
"Stamford forever!" roared the brutalised mobs who still |
|
|
clung to the bloody old bull-baiting carnivals.
But the Government itself was now determined to |
|
|
intervene. In October, 1838, a troop of the
14th Dragoons clattered into Stamford. Two bulls |
|
|
that had been smuggled into the town for the
running were seized - and the barbarous "sport" |
|
|
was ended in England forever. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The victory brought the society a wave of
public sympathy, money and support. In 1840 the |
|
|
young Queen Victoria offered her patronage, and
the society added the prefix "Royal" to its |
|
|
name. Many battles still lay ahead, but the
society now had the law and the great mass of |
|
|
enlightened public opinion on its side. ' |

(Bromley 1945) and Leslie Pym (Monmouth 1945).

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.' |

John Warburton Beckett, MP for Gateshead
1924-1929 and Peckham 1929-1931 |
|

Beckett was involved in an incident in the
House of Commons on 17 Jul 1930 which led to his |
|
|
suspension from the House after he seized the
Mace. The following report appeared in the |
|
|
Brisbane 'Courier' of 19 July 1930:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A series of disorderly incidents at question
time in the House of Commons today ultimately led |
|
|
to one of the most remarkable scenes in recent
years, and ended in the suspensions of the |
|
|
Labour members, Messrs. A. Fenner Brockway [MP
for Leyton East 1929-1931 and Eton and |
|
|
Slough 1950-1964, Baron Brockway [L] 1964] and
John Beckett. They were the first actual |
|
|
suspensions of the present Parliament. The
exclusion of Mr. Beckett was most dramatic. |
|
|
Following the division carrying the motion for
the suspension of Mr. Fenner Brockway and |
|
|
before the figures were announced, Mr. Beckett,
who was standing near the table, suddenly |
|
|
picked up the Mace from it, shouting: "Mr.
Speaker, it's a damned disgrace!" Amid shouts of |
|
|
protest Mr. Beckett, holding the Mace aloft,
carried it in the direction of the bar of the House |
|
|
where a large group of excited members crowded.
Instantly the House was thrown into a state |
|
|
of confusion. An attendant rushed forward and
grabbed the Mace from Mr. Beckett, who did |
|
|
not resist, but stood nonchalantly with his
hands in his pockets. The Sergeant-at-Arms, with |
|
|
the utmost dignity, walked to the table and
replaced the Mace. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Opposition members shouted to Mr. Beckett:
"Get out of it!" Then the Speaker declared |
|
|
carried the suspension of Mr. Fenner Brockway
who walked out there and then. There were |
|
|
cries of "What about the other? What about
Beckett?" and a few counter-shouts from the |
|
|
Labour benches of "Third Degree," and
much booing. Members excitedly
appealed to the |
|
|
Speaker, who instantly named Mr. Beckett, his
suspension being carried by 324 votes to 4. |
|
|
The division was taken in an atmosphere of
great excitement and tension. When the figures |
|
|
were announced, Mr. Beckett was absent. There
were cries of "He has run away." Mr. Beckett |
|
|
actually had followed Mr. Fenner Brockway out.
Both members were accompanied to the |
|
|
gates of the palace yard by a police inspector,
in accordance with custom. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr. Fenner Brockway's expulsion was due to his
refusal to obey the Speaker when he was |
|
|
dissatisfied with the answers to his persistent
questions demanding an opportunity of debating |
|
|
the situation in India. Mr. Fenner Brockway is
the son of a missionary and was born in India. |
|
|
He always has been an extreme member of the
Left Wing, and spent two years in prison during |
|
|
the war as a conscientious objector. Mr.
Beckett a few days ago married the actress Kyrie |
|
|
Bellew at Gretna Green. The last scene in which
the Mace was removed occurred in 1917 when |
|
|
Mr. F.N. Carrington [of whom I have no record],
who had relinquished a huge family fortune |
|
|
from a brewery, removed the mace as a protest
against the Liquor Bill then being discussed.' |

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 unsavoury 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." |
