William Roupell, MP for Lambeth 1857-1862 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following is from 'The Times' of 27 March
1909:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The death of William Roupell, which occurred
on Thursday [i.e. 25 March 1909] at his house |
|
|
in Christchurch-road, Streatham, recalls one of
the most remarkable cases of forgery that |
|
|
has ever occupied the attention of the English
courts. He was the illegitimate son of Richard |
|
|
Palmer Roupell, a wealthy lead-smelter, who in
the middle of the last century had a factory |
|
|
near Doctors' Commons, and also possessed
considerable properties in Surrey, Essex, |
|
|
|
Hampshire and London. He was born some years
before his parents were married. After the |
|
|
marriage, which took place in 1838, three other
children were born, and one of whom, |
|
|
|
Richard, was afterwards the plaintiff in the
action during which the life-story of his brother |
|
|
William was brought to light. In spite of the
irregularity of his birth, William was always |
|
|
|
treated by both parents as their eldest son.
His father trusted him, loved him, and was |
|
|
|
proud of him, and, as it afterwards appeared,
he exerted a very powerful influence over his |
|
|
fond and doting mother, so that for all
practical purposes the fact that he was born out of |
|
|
wedlock made no difference in his position -
if, that is to say, we are to believe his own |
|
|
story. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Before September, 1856, when the elder Roupell
died, William was in serious pecuniary |
|
|
|
difficulties, and had already started on the
extraordinary course of deceit and forgery which |
|
|
six years later was to land him in the felon's
dock. To free himself from the pressure of his |
|
|
creditors it seemed to him imperative to raise
a large sum of money, which he proceeded to |
|
|
do by forging deeds of gift to himself of
certain of his father's estates and then raising loans |
|
|
on the valuations. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Even after their marriage, the relations
between Richard Palmer Roupell and his wife |
|
|
|
continued to be of rather an unusual kind. They
had separate residences, though they were |
|
|
on quite friendly terms, and it was, as a
general rule, only from Saturday to Monday that |
|
|
the husband used to visit the house in which
his wife and children lived. On September 12, |
|
|
1856, when the news of his death reached them,
William and his mother at once went to his |
|
|
house, and the housekeeper gave the keys to
Mrs. Roupell, who, being overcome with grief, |
|
|
handed them over to her son. He first opened
the strong-box in the sitting-room downstairs, |
|
|
and then, going up to his father's bedroom,
opened a desk in which was his last will, |
|
|
|
containing a final codicil, which had been
added only a few days before, the general tenor |
|
|
being that all his property was left to
trustees for the benefit of his son Richard. He was too |
|
|
clever to destroy the will. The draft copy was
probably at that moment in the lawyer's |
|
|
|
office. So that night, which he spent in the
house where his dead father's body was lying, |
|
|
he drew up another will to supersede it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The codicil to the genuine will was dated
August 31, his father died on September 12, and |
|
|
the date of the will to which he forged his
signature and that of the necessary witness was |
|
|
September 2. He was safe as far as his mother
was concerned, since she was not on terms |
|
|
of such intimacy with her late husband as to
know how his money was left. A few days later |
|
|
he attended the funeral, at which the false
will was read and, after that ordeal, went with it |
|
|
to the lawyers, who, although expressing
surprise that it should revoke the will to which the |
|
|
codicil had been added only two days
previously, did not see any cause for suspicion. William |
|
|
Roupell had been too clever to draw the will in
his own favour. He was merely the executor. |
|
|
Everything was left to "My dear wife,
Sarah Roupell, to and for her own use and benefit |
|
|
|
absolutely." But, as he had unbounded
influence over his mother, he had virtually the |
|
|
|
complete control of the testator's money. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He launched out on a career of wild
extravagance, sold estate after estate with his mother's |
|
|
consent, promising to settle £3,000 a year on
her and the other children. He became |
|
|
|
member for Lambeth, and, when his election was
petitioned against, and he was questioned |
|
|
by counsel as to certain alleged acts of
corruption, he answered that, if any man were to |
|
|
make any kind of dishonourable proposition to
him, he would knock him down. After a few |
|
|
years of this riotous living the end came, and
he was forced to flee the country, a ruined |
|
|
man, having first, as he alleged, admitted to
some of the people to whom he sold estates |
|
|
that were not his to sell, as they were the
property of his brother Richard. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'One of these victims of his perjury, a Mr
Waite, had bought the Norbiton Park estate in |
|
|
1861, and it was against him that, in August,
1862, Richard brought the famous action, at |
|
|
which William Roupell's misdeeds were brought
to light by his own confession. This strange |
|
|
man, who without any qualms of conscience, had
robbed his brothers and sisters and forged |
|
|
his father's name over and over again, suddenly
made up his mind to leave his safe |
|
|
|
sanctuary in Spain and return to England to
give evidence against himself. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'There were in effect three parties to the
case. Richard Roupell, the man who had been |
|
|
|
robbed of his heritage, was by the aid of the
thief, his elder brother, proceeding against a |
|
|
third man, who had done him no injury, and
endeavouring to eject him from the estate |
|
|
|
which he had purchased perfectly regularly and
fairly. As plaintiff it was his object to prove |
|
|
that his principal witness, his own brother,
was a liar and forger. Mr Waite, as defendant, |
|
|
was concerned in defence of his property to
prove that the man who had defrauded both |
|
|
himself and the plaintiff was not such a
villain as he represented himself to be, and the chief |
|
|
witness, the wrongdoer, had come of his own
free will to deliver himself up to justice. The |
|
|
presence of these three men in the Court, with
the mother of two of them ready, if |
|
|
|
necessary, to give evidence which should help
to convict her first-born, the real defendant, |
|
|
was extraordinarily dramatic, and it was no
wonder that the case of "Roupell v Waite" |
|
|
|
created the intense excitement that it did. But
there was no need for Mr Serjeant Shee to |
|
|
put Mrs Roupell into the witness-box. The man
stood self-condemned. The case between |
|
|
the two parties was compromised on the second
day, and, in September, William Roupell |
|
|
was arraigned at the Central Criminal Court on
two charges of forgery, to each of which he |
|
|
eventually pleaded "Guilty," and was
sentenced to penal servitude for life. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'After serving only 14 years of his sentence,
during which he is said to have done useful |
|
|
|
religious work among his fellow-convicts, he
was released on account of his exemplary |
|
|
|
behaviour, and for the last 25 years of his
life he had lived at Streatham. There on a |
|
|
|
diminutive holding he had gained a rather
precarious livelihood as a fruit farmer, living very |
|
|
quietly and making only a few more shillings a
week than were enough for his modest wants.' |

Sir Charles Crauford Fraser VC, MP for Lambeth
North 1885-1892 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fraser was a major in the 7th Hussars when, on
31 December 1858, an officer named |
|
|
|
Captain Stisted and some men of his regiment
had pursued some Indian mutineers into the |
|
|
Raptee River in Oudh on the border of India and
Nepal, and were in imminent danger of |
|
|
|
being drowned. Fraser, although at the time
partially disabled from a wound he had received |
|
|
six months earlier, at once volunteered at
great personal risk to jump into the river in an |
|
|
attempt to rescue the soldiers. He succeeded in
saving the officer and his men while all the |
|
|
time under musket fire from the mutineers on
the opposite bank of the river. Fraser was |
|
|
|
awarded the Victoria Cross for his action. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
He later sat in the House of Commons for
Lambeth North between 1885 and 1892. |

|
|
Elliot was first elected to the House of
Commons as member for Lanark at the General Election |
|
|
in December 1918. The following year he married Helen
Hamilton, but while the newly-wedded |
|
|
couple were on their honeymoon, she was killed
in a mountaineering accident. The following |
|
|
report appeared in 'The Scotsman' of 10
September 1919:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A serious accident, resulting in the death of
Mrs. Elliot, wife of Captain Waler E. Elliot, M.C., |
|
|
M.P. for Lanark, is reported from Skye. About a
fortnight ago Captain Elliot and his newly- |
|
|
married wife came to Sligichan Hotel, the
well-known hostelry at the foot of the Coolin Hills, |
|
|
where they were spending their honeymoon. On
Sunday they proceeded to climb one of the |
|
|
peaks overlooking Hartacorry. The day was
favourable as regards weather conditions, but |
|
|
towards evening the hills were enveloped in a
thick mist, and the climbers lost their way. It |
|
|
would appear that Mrs. Elliot at this stage,
while they were looking for some shelter wherein |
|
|
to pass the night, stumbled and lost her
footing, pulling her husband with her. They both |
|
|
slid down the steep mountain side, and lay at
the foot unconscious. Some time afterwards |
|
|
Captain Elliot regained consciousness, and
tried to rouse his wife, but found that life was |
|
|
extinct. He was seriously injured, but on
Monday he endeavoured to make his way to Sligichan, |
|
|
which was several miles distant, in order to
report the disaster and to obtain assistance for |
|
|
the removal of his wife's body. A party was
formed, and proceeded to the spot indicated by |
|
|
Captain Elliot, but owing to the darkness and
inaccessible nature of the locality, the body |
|
|
could not be removed till yesterday, when it
was taken to Sligichan, where arrangements are |
|
|
being made for its removal to the South for burial.' |

Sir William Henry Rattigan, MP for Lanarkshire
North East 1901-1904 |
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir William died from a broken neck when the
car in which he was a passenger overturned |
|
|
in July 1904. It is apparent from the
subsequent inquest into his death that the car was not |
|
|
in a road-worthy condition at the time of the
accident. The following report appeared in |
|
|
|
'The Times' on 5 July 1904:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'News reached London shortly after 10 last
night that, whilst motoring from London to |
|
|
|
Blackwood, Lanarkshire, Sir William Rattigan,
K.C., the member for North-East Lanark, had |
|
|
met with a fatal accident at Langford, near
Biggleswade. Sir William Rattigan, Lady Rattigan |
|
|
and their chauffeur left London on a Darracq
car for Scotland yesterday afternoon. They |
|
|
were approaching Langford, a village near
Biggleswade, at a speed of ten miles per hour, |
|
|
when the spokes of the near hind wheel
scattered as the car was rounding a corner. The |
|
|
car overturned and Lady Rattigan and the
chauffeur were imprisoned beneath the glass |
|
|
|
canopy top, through which Sir William was
thrown onto the road. Some labourers working |
|
|
near by rendered assistance, and Sir William
Rattigan was found to be dead. Lady Rattigan |
|
|
was badly cut by broken glass, and the driver
escaped with slight injuries. Both were |
|
|
|
conveyed to the Boot Inn, whither the body of
Sir William Rattigan was also removed |
|
|
|
pending the inquest.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following [edited] account of the inquest
appeared in 'The Times' on 7 July 1904:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The inquest on the death of Sir William
Rattigan, M.P., who was killed in a motor-car accident |
|
|
at Langford, near Biggleswade, on Monday
evening, was opened at the Corner House Inn, |
|
|
Langford, yesterday afternoon, before Mr. Mark
Whyley, the county coroner. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'After formal evidence, Agnes Thompson, the
wife of a labourer of Langford, said that about 7 |
|
|
o'clock on Monday evening a motor-car passed
her near Gravel Pit going in the direction of |
|
|
Langford. It was swaying about. When it got 30
yards past her it fell over. It seemed as |
|
|
though the wheel flew out and the car went
crash on the side. The wheel went into the ditch. |
|
|
She ran up and found two men and a lady. A
gentleman was lying in the bottom of the car |
|
|
and the lady was lying beside him. The
chauffeur was out looking at the gentleman, whom she |
|
|
saw breathe twice, but he did not move. She
went to the lady's assistance. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'George Milton, farm foreman, said the car
passed him as he was cycling to Langford, and he |
|
|
noticed the near hind wheel wobbling very much.
The car was going under 12 miles an hour. |
|
|
At the corner the car turned over after swaying
two or three times. He rode up and found Sir |
|
|
William Rattigan lying partly in the car and
partly on the ground. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'John Young, the chauffeur, who was driving,
said that he was in the employ of the late Sir |
|
|
William Rattigan. They started from London on
Monday about 3 o'clock in a motor-car - a |
|
|
Darracq - from Lanarksleigh, Cornwall-gardens.
He had not been this road before. They |
|
|
|
stopped near Hatfield for ten minutes to attend
to the carburettor. He noticed nothing else |
|
|
amiss with the car. All went well until
Langford. He was driving at ten miles an hour. As they |
|
|
came round the bend of the road a wheel flew
out and the car went over instantaneously. For |
|
|
the minute he was stunned, but managed to stop
the engine. The engine was not damaged. |
|
|
He had had 12 months' experience and had driven
this car one month. Before starting he |
|
|
examined the car and satisfied himself that it
was in travelling order. He understood the |
|
|
mechanism of the car. One spring bent was all
he noticed defective. The wheels and steering |
|
|
apparatus appeared perfect. The car was
second-hand when purchased by Sir William |
|
|
|
privately. No wheel struck the bank, but the
back of the car struck when it fell. The car had a |
|
|
canopy with a glass front and back. He felt
nothing wrong with the wheel before reaching the |
|
|
corner. He went out in the morning with the
car. They had a slight accident on leaving |
|
|
|
Cornwall-gardens, colliding slightly with a
coal cart, but not enough to damage the car. The |
|
|
spring was bent and he had it straightened at
Mr. Rawlings' garage. It was a job that could be |
|
|
done in half an hour. There was no difficulty
in steering. He was quite sure the car did not |
|
|
touch the bank. The car was perfectly safe for
the road. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Dr. Emmerson, of Biggleswade.......found Sir
William lying dead. Next morning he examined the |
|
|
body and found slight bruises on the forehead,
nose and chin. There was no other sign of |
|
|
injury, except to the neck, which was broken. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Edward George Nicholson, manager of Rawlings
Brothers, said he saw the car on Monday |
|
|
morning and found the bottom web buckled up.
There was a day's work in the repairs. There |
|
|
were three distinct injuries and the car was
not safe to run, the wheels being out of parallel. |
|
|
In the presence of the foreman he said to
Young, "If you take the car away in this condition |
|
|
you take it against our advice and on your own
responsibility." The steering, the witness |
|
|
continued, ought to have been looked to. The
work the firm did was still sound. The injuries |
|
|
received in the morning would make steering
difficult. The car was not in a fit condition to set |
|
|
upon the road. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'After other evidence, the jury decided to hear
no more, and returned a verdict of "Accidental |
|
|
death." They added they considered the car
not in a condition to send on the road, but the |
|
|
driver, having acted under the instructions of
his master, was fully exonerated from all blame.' |

Robert Gallnigad Bontine Cunninghame Grahame.
MP for Lanarkshire North West |
|
|
|
1886-1892 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following biography of Cunninghame Graham
is taken from the February 1953 issue of the |
|
|
Australian monthly magazine "Parade."
The author of the biography is obviously extremely |
|
|
impressed with Cunninghame Graham's literary
works, but unfortunately these works are |
|
|
|
almost forgotten today. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Pandemonium reigned in a bleak Clydeside
meeting hall one night in 1886 as a tall, elegant |
|
|
man with twinkling eyes and the long hair,
moustache and beard of a modern Don Quixote, |
|
|
tried vainly to make an election speech to a
mob of dockside workers, mostly from Ireland. |
|
|
Convinced that the speaker was against Home
Rule, they were resolved to howl him down. |
|
|
Suddenly the man left the stage but was back
almost at once. Raising a heavy six-shooter, he |
|
|
levelled it at the audience.
"Silence," he roared, "You are going to listen to me if it's
the last |
|
|
thing you do. If another man opens his mouth,
I'll blow his brains out." The babble ceased. |
|
|
Then the dockers roared with laughter and
applauded wildly. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Robert Bontine Cunningham Graham, big-hearted
Scottish laird, ex-revolutionary soldier, |
|
|
pampas gaucho, frontiersman, prospector, master
duellist, shop-assistant, buffalo hunter, |
|
|
historian and one of Britain's greatest
authors, had won his audience. When he told them the |
|
|
revolver was a dummy left by an amateur
theatrical company, they yelled with delight. He |
|
|
brought the house down with the statement that,
though a member of an ancient family, |
|
|
he was also in favour of Irish Home Rule. He
won the election and kept his seat for six years |
|
|
when, disillusioned by "Tory-minded Labour
leaders," he washed his hands of the "filth of |
|
|
politics." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A dandy and a gentleman, Cunninghame Graham
could lasso a maddened bullock and tear a |
|
|
double pack of cards in two. In his later days
he was the impressive and extremely articulate |
|
|
figure-head of the Scottish Nationalist
Movement. His books are likely to become classics. |
|
|
Joseph Conrad, the great novelist, described
his "Mograb el Acksa" [Heineman, London, 1898] |
|
|
as the adventure travel book of the century,
while Bernard Shaw used it as a background to |
|
|
to his "Captain Brassbound's
Conversion" [a play set in Morocco, its theme being the futility |
|
|
of revenge]. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Cunninghame Graham had the blood of Spanish
hidalgos and Scottish kings in his veins. His |
|
|
father was an impoverished Scottish laird,
whose mother, Donna Catalina, lived in Madrid. |
|
|
Roberto, as he was called, spent his childhood
between the mists of Scotland and the warm |
|
|
sunshine of Spain. His grandmother took him to
colourful fiestas and taught him the customs |
|
|
and folklore of her hot-blooded country. Little
wonder, therefore, that he found Harrow, with |
|
|
its stiff collars and top hats, somewhat dull.
At 14 he badgered his parents into sending him to |
|
|
and academy at Brussels, where sword play and
fencing took the place of cricket in the |
|
|
sporting life of the school. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Roberto, as he was called, stayed there a year,
Then, with a knowledge of foils and French |
|
|
which was to help him out of many a tight spot,
he left with relatives to start a cattle ranch |
|
|
in the Argentine. Out on the pampas Roberto
dressed like a gaucho. He learned quickly to |
|
|
break wild horses and throw a lariat. The daily
chores of the ranch, however, wearied him. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Accordingly, he rode off one day and joined the army of General
Lopez Jordan [1822-1889], |
|
|
who had just started an insurrection against
the government of Paraguay. He had the time |
|
|
of his life in what, for him, was a
musical-comedy revolution. The wild-eyed, rangy Scottish |
|
|
youth, with the shock of red hair and excellent
flow of Spanish, shot to the fore as leader |
|
|
of an intrepid gang which seemed to be occupied
mainly in cattle rustling. Then the war was |
|
|
stopped and Roberto, just 18, found himself in
a small town. Incensed by government |
|
|
|
injustice, he organised a public demonstration
and was thrown into gaol. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'There he stayed till relatives rescued him.
Somewhat subdued, he returned to London where |
|
|
he tried to launch a company for growing
"Yerba mate," a tea popular in South America. His |
|
|
elegant gaucho clothes and dashing black
sombrero created a sensation wherever he went. |
|
|
In Paris, as a result of an insult about his
appearance, he fought and won a duel against |
|
|
France's leading fencer. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Back in the Argentine Roberto went into
partnership with a roughneck Englishman named |
|
|
Mansel, and a guitar-playing former bandit from
Mexico, Angel Caberra. Their idea was to buy |
|
|
horses cheap in Uruguay and sell them dear in
Brazil. After a hazardous journey during which |
|
|
they ate iguanas and armadillos and were
ambushed by their cut-throat assistants they |
|
|
found that the horses were too thin to market.
The impoverished partners returned to Buenos |
|
|
Aires, where they were driven to work on the
roads to earn a crust. Later they successfully |
|
|
resumed horse dealing till Roberto was recalled
to Scotland by his sick father. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He took the opportunity to revisit Paris. One
day, while riding in the Bois de Boulogne, he |
|
|
accidentally knocked over an attractive girl
who turned out to be Gabriella de la Balmondiere - |
|
|
a Chilean poetess. It was love at first sight.
They eloped to England, where they were married |
|
|
in 1878. After a brief honeymoon at Roberto's
beautiful old Georgian family home at Menteith, |
|
|
his father gave him the money to buy a ranch in
Texas. On arrival, however, Roberto thought |
|
|
it better to cash in on the cotton boom. He and
the equally-adventurous Gabriella loaded a |
|
|
mule train with bales of cotton and set out
across the rugged terrain for Mexico City. It was |
|
|
an agonising trip. Repeatedly they had to fight
off wild Indians. To their dismay they arrived |
|
|
in Mexico City to find the bottom had fallen
out of cotton and they were penniless. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'They were not at a loss for long. Robert
opened a fencing academy, while Gabriella taught |
|
|
the guitar. The academy became so fashionable
that eight months later Roberto was able to |
|
|
sell it for a substantial sum and buy a small
ranch. Indians stole his stock and he was forced |
|
|
to become in turn a store assistant,
horse-trainer and interpreter on a buffalo expedition. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'When his father died in 1883, Roberto returned
to Scotland to run the family estate, but |
|
|
was compelled to sell much of it to defray the
heavy mortgage. He plunged at once into |
|
|
|
politics and became the bane of the House of
Commons with his constant demands for |
|
|
|
universal suffrage, wider distribution of land,
free education and the eight-hour day. [He was |
|
|
also the first MP to ever be suspended from the
House for swearing, following his use of the |
|
|
word "damn"]. He made the headlines
in 1887 when, still an M.P., he was gaoled for two |
|
|
|
months [sic - six weeks, but he served only
four weeks] for his part in the Bloody Sunday riots |
|
|
of 13 November which followed a forbidden
labour meeting in Trafalgar Square. [Also gaoled for |
|
|
his part in this riot was John Burns, later MP
for Battersea 1892-1918]. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Roberto himself was badly beaten by the
mounted police. He was horrified by gaol conditions |
|
|
in England and never ceased to agitate for
their reform. Three years later [May 1891] he was |
|
|
arrested in France and deported for attempting
to address another prohibited meeting. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Turning his back on politics, Cunninghame
Graham divided his time between supervising what |
|
|
remained of his estates and making adventurous
trips abroad. He visited Spain in search of |
|
|
gold. He found no gold, but loaded his mules
with quartz for analysis in Madrid. Peasants along |
|
|
the route, however, were convinced the bags
contained gold and entertained him at fiestas |
|
|
wherever he stayed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In 1897 Roberto tried to visit the
"forbidden" city of Tar[o]udant, capital of S[o]us, the |
|
|
southern province of Morocco. Christians
discovered within its precincts were invariably |
|
|
murdered. He set out, disguised as a Turkish
physician in a turban-draped fez with white robes |
|
|
and yellow slippers, accompanied by a
shifty-eyed slave-dealing muleteer named Mohammed el |
|

Hassan. The track was rough and there was no
food. Fifty miles from the city the pair were on |
|
|
the point of starvation when they were captured
and imprisoned in the mud castle of the Caid |
|
|
of Kintaffi. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Caid had been seriously wounded in a
skirmish and hoped the "Turkish doctor" would be |
|
|
able to extract the bullet. Roberto, however,
advised him to send for an English doctor he |
|
|
knew in Marrakesh. Meanwhile, a horde of
disease-ridden subjects of the Caif presented them- |
|
|
selves before Roberto, who luckily had brought
enough medicines to maintain some sort of |
|
|
show. Just as the situation was getting
difficult he was released and sent packing to the |
|
|
coast. It was from these adventures that
Cunninghame Graham wrote the immortal "Mogreb el |
|
|
Acksa." [The book is available online at
the Hathi Trust Digital Library]. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Tragedy struck Roberto in 1906 when his
28-year-old romance with Gabriella ended with her |
|
|
sudden death in Spain. Heartbroken, he had her
body taken back to Scotland and buried as |
|
|
she wished, in the ruined Augustinian Priory on
an island in Lake Menteith. He dug the
grave |
|
|
himself and lined it with purple heather. Then
he covered her coffin with white flowers from her |
|
|
nearby garden. To drown his grief, he threw
himself into writing. In a few years he turned out |
|
|
a dozen books and a hundred short stories,
which gained him an undisputed place in English |
|
|
letters. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Early in 1914 he spoke at a mass peace rally
in Trafalgar Square, but when World War I broke |
|
|
out he joined up at once with a section of the
Remount. He was given the rank of colonel but |
|
|
refused to wear uniform. Several times he
visited South America to buy horses. He was |
|
|
|
returning with a shipload of mustangs on one
occasion when the vessel was torpedoed. |
|
|
Roberto saved his precious cargo by ordering
the ship to be beached. When he appeared |
|
|
before his commanding officer he was upbraided
for not wearing a uniform. "And what the devil |
|
|
do you mean beaching ship, anyway?"
Roberto Cunninghame Graham gave a hideous grin, then |
|
|
bellowed: "For fun, fool - for fun!" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Roberto spent the remainder of his life
between London, Paris and Buenos Aires, where he had |
|
|
innumerable friends in the artistic, literary
and political worlds. At the age of 83, when asked |
|
|
to pose for a statue, he flabbergasted the
sculptor by riding into the studio on a horse. In |
|
|
1936, still bright and spry. he felt his end
approaching and decided to ride with the gauchos |
|
|
for the last time. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He travelled to Argentina and went for long
gallops across his beloved pampas with some of |
|
|
his gaucho friends. While seeing through the
press a Spanish translation of a book by his old |
|
|
friend, the Brazilian-born naturalist, W.H.
Hudson, he caught pneumonia and died. Gauchos |
|
|
led his two favorite horses behind his bier to
the wharves in an impressive ceremony attended |
|
|
by the president of Argentina. His remains were
then shipped to Scotland for burial at the side |
|
|
of Gabriella under the purple heather of Menteith.' |

Thomas Owen, MP for Launceston 1892-1898 |

|
|
|
|
|
|
Owen died as a result of an accident on 10 July
1898. The result of the inquest which was |
|
|
held following his death was reported in the
"Belfast News-Letter" on 12 July 1898:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'An inquest has held at Cwmrhaidr Mansion, near
Machynlleth, yesterday evening, relative to |
|
|
the death of Mr. Thomas Owen, member of
Parliament for the Launceston Division of |
|
|
|
Cornwall. Mrs. Owen stated her husband and
herself came to Cwmrhaidr on Friday in order |
|
|
to recuperate her health. On Sunday afternoon
they went to a spot under the waterfall, |
|
|
and sat together some time. Her husband
remarked that he had heard it was as easy to cross |
|
|
the fall as to go by the path. He got up, and
as he did not return she imagined he had gone |
|
|
home. On her proceeding there, however, she
found he had not arrived, and his dead body |
|
|
was subsequently found in a pool underneath the
fall. Evidence having been given as to the |
|
|
dangerous nature of the spot in question, Dr.
Rees said he had examined the body of the |
|
|
deceased and found no signs of disease or
illness. He was of opinion that Mr. Owen was |
|
|
|
stunned by falling against a rock, and that
before he came to his senses he was drowned. |
|
|
The jury, after a short deliberation, returned
a verdict in accordance with the medical |
|
|
|
testimony.......' |

Samuel Vyvyan Trerice Adams, MP for Leeds West
1931-1945 |

|
Adams drowned in August 1951 while swimming
with his family at a Cornish beach, as reported |
|
|
in 'The Manchester Guardian' of 14 August 1951:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr. Vyvyan Adams, 51, a barrister, of Regent's
Parl, London, and formerly M.P. for West |
|
|
Leeds, died while bathing at Gunwalloe Church
Cove, near Helston, Cornwall, today. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'His daughter Sally, aged 14, was sais by
witnesses to have helped to save her mother, who |
|
|
was also in difficulties among the strong
currents off this beach., with a younger child. Sally |
|
|
then went back to her father but was too
exhausted to bring him in. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Other people on the beach said that the whole
family appeared to be in difficulties but they |
|
|
helped to bring the mother ashore after the
daughter had supported her for some time while |
|
|
the strong currents took Mr. Adams farther out.
There were no other swimmers on the beach |
|
|
at the time and the two lifelines there joined
together were not long enough to reach him. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Lizard lifeboat was summoned and went to
the cove. The body drifted within reach of |
|
|
the rescuers, and artificial respiration was
tried without success. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr. Stephen Dale, of the local rescuers, said:
"That daughter was the bravest child I have |
|
|
ever seen. She helped to bring her mother
ashore and then, although she was obviously tired, |
|
|
she went out again to her father. She must have
been too weary to bring him in, but she |
|
|
fought her way back to the beach to see if
there were any other swimmers there who could |
|
|
help her. When she found there were none she
wanted to go back a third time but we |
|
|
|
persuaded her it was too late.' |
