1 May 1997		Michael Louis David Fabricant	12 Jun 1950
		Rowland Stephenson, MP for Leominster 1827-1830
		Stephenson was head of the old-established banking house of Remington & Co, of 69
		Lombard Street, London, and had been returned to the House of Commons as member for
		Leominster. He was also the treasurer of St. Bartholomew's Hospital and lived at 'Marshalls',
		a large country seat near Romford, in Essex, where he was reported that he kept a
		princely establishment, entertaining lavishly.
		Early in December 1828, there were rumours that Messrs Remington & Co were in difficulties,
		which led to the withdrawal of many large accounts, and it was feared that, as a result, the
		bank might have to suspend payment. An inquiry being demanded, an investigation was
		made by five leading bankers, who not only declared their belief that the bank was entirely
		solvent, but each advanced the sum of £20,000 on the securities in the possession of
		Remington & Co. Unfortunately, the judgment of these five bankers was totally incorrect.
		On 29 December 1828, the greatest consternation was caused in the City by the news that
		Rowland Stephenson had disappeared, together his head clerk, Lloyd, taking with him a
		large sum of money. He had spent the night in his rooms and, leaving secretly at 4 o'clock
		in the morning, had fled to the west coast of England. The next day, Remington & Co. was
		forced to close its doors, and subsequently it was found that its liabilities exceeded its
		assets by nearly £200,000.
		Stephenson and Lloyd initially fled to Clovelly, on the north coast of Devonshire, where they
		remained for three days. The fugitives were tracked to Clovelly by the City Marshal, Mr.
		Cope, but he arrived too late to prevent them from embarking in a skiff which landed them
		at Milford Haven, from where they travelled to Angle Bay, a small inlet in Milford Haven
		harbour. Here they found the brig 'Kingston', whose captain was totally unaware of the
		events surrounding Stephenson and Lloyd and therefore made no difficulty in selling passage
		for the two to Savannah, Georgia.
		In late February 1829, the 'Kingston' arrived in Savannah, to where news of Stephenson's
		crimes had already reached. Being immediately recognised, he was placed under arrest and
		taken to New York. A large reward had been offered by the British government for his return
		to England, but the American judicial authorities declared that his arrest had been illegal,
		and refused all extradition requests from London, ordering Stephenson to be set at liberty.
		Sir Philip Dawson, MP for Lewisham West 1921-1938
		Dawson was one of England's leading electrical engineers in the period prior to 1921. He
		worked on a large number of major engineering projects throughout the British Empire,
		Europe and South America. During WWI, he worked for the Ministry of Munitions and was
		rewarded for his services when he was knighted in 1920.
		Following the death of the sitting member in 1921, Dawson stood for Parliament in the seat
		of Lewisham West. It appears to have been a somewhat dirty campaign, with Dawson's
		opponents attempting to smear his background.
		Reference to works such as "Who's Who" or his Wikipedia biography will reveal no details of
		Dawson's parentage. However, when he stood for Parliament, Dawson was forced to reveal
		such details to his constituents in order to counter a number of rumours spread by his
		political opponents.
		The following is an article which appeared in the 'Washington Post' on 30 September 1921:-
		'Sir Philip Dawson, conservative candidate in the Lewisham [West] by-election for
		parliament, who was knighted last year for services rendered to the crown as a very active
		member of the ministry of munitions in the great war, was years ago known by the name of
		Duvalle. In some way or other his political adversaries acquired an inkling of this, and at
		once began to circulate stories to the effect that he had assumed the name of Dawson to
		conceal a German patronymic, and that in spite of his having made his home in the
		Lewisham district for nearly twenty years he was in reality a hostile alien, who should have
		been interned during the war instead of being admitted to the inner councils of the ministry
		of munitions. To such an extent did his political foes manage to poison the minds of the
		Lewisham electorate that Sir Philip Dawson has felt himself compelled to reveal the secret
		of his birth.
		'According to his own admission, issued to his constituents, he is the only son of the late
		Field Marshal Sir Neville Chamberlain, commander-in-chief of the British armies in India, and
		a veteran of the terrible Sepoy mutiny there in 1857. The field marshal was a younger son
		of Sir Henry Chamberlain, who received a baronetcy for the services which he rendered at
		Rio [de Janiero] as British envoy at the time of Brazil's declaration of independence.
		'It seems that Sir Neville in his forty-sixth year contracted an attachment while in India for
		a very beautiful Englishwoman, [Hannah] daughter of a Mr. George Brown, of the Indian
		civil service, at Bhaulpore. Owing to her desertion by her husband and her inability to secure
		a dissolution of her marriage she was unable to legitimatize her relations with Sir Neville,
		to whom she bore a son in 1866 in Paris, where Sir Neville had the child's birth registered as
		his son at the British embassy.
		'The lady did not return to India, but made her home in France, where her boy was brought
		up as Philip Duvalle. By the time he had attained the age of 16 the question was raised as
		to his eventual obligatory military service in the French army. It was then that his mother
		established the fact that although she had styled herself Mme. Duvalle and had given that
		name to her boy, yet that she was an Englishwoman and that her boy had been registered
		at the British embassy in Paris as a British subject by his father, Sir Neville Chamberlain. But
		in order to put an end to any further questions and confusions Mme. Duvalle and her son
		assumed the name of Dawson and transferred their residence from France to England.
		'When the lad grew up, he prospered in business, and was knighted last year as Sir Philip
		Dawson. He did not learn the secret of his parentage until 1888, when he was in his
		twenty-second year, and then he met his father, the late Sir Neville, for the second time.
		The first occasion that he could recall having seen him was when he was a child four years
		old.
		'Meanwhile, the field marshal had married a daughter of Gen. Sir William Reid, G.C.M.G., of
		the Royal Engineers. That was in 1873, when his son by Mrs. Duvalle was seven years old.
		Lady Chamberlain died in 1896 and Sir Neville followed her to the grave in 1902, having
		made ample provision for his son, now Sir Philip Dawson.
		'Sir Philip Dawson is generally commended for having made this declaration. It relieves him
		of all imputation of having been a hostile alien. It shows that he was not responsible for the
		name of Duvalle or of Dawson, which he successively bore, and it also shows that he
		belongs to an honored family, which has rendered valuable service to the empire in many
		lands, and that he is the son of a British field marshal and of an English gentlewoman who
		was prevented from legitimatizing her relations with Sir Neville Chamberlain owing to her
		inability to judicially establish the death of her long-vanished husband.'
		Dawson continued to represent Lewisham West until his death in 1938. He became an
		admirer of Mussolini, and, in April 1938, chairman of the Anglo-Italian Parliamentary
		Committee. In September 1938, he died from heart disease in Berlin.
		Cecil John L'Estrange Malone, MP for Leyton East 1918-1922 and Northampton
		1928-1931
		Malone was the first member of the Communist Party to sit in the House of Commons. After
		service in the Royal Navy, where he was a pioneer in naval aviation and rose to the rank of
		Commander, he switched to the Army as a Lieutenant-Colonel. For further information on
		his early naval aviation exploits, see his obituary in "The Times" of 27 February 1965.
		At the December 1918 general election, Malone was returned for Leyton East as a Coalition
		Liberal and was awarded the OBE. However, in September 1919, he visited Russia where he
		appears to have undergone a remarkable conversion to socialism. On his return to England
		he joined the British Socialist Party, a body which, together with a number of other socialist
		groups, became the Communist Party of Great Britain in 1920. Malone was soon elected to
		the new party's central committee.
		Malone found himself in trouble in November 1920, following a speech he made at the Albert
		Hall. The following report of his subsequent trial appeared in the "New York Times" of 20
		November 1920:-
		'Former Lieut. Col. L'Estrange Malone, M.P., was sentenced today at the Bow Street Police
		Court to six months' imprisonment in the Second Division for making a seditious speech at a
		Bolshevist meeting at Albert Hall. He was also bound over in £4,000 to be of good behaviour
		for twelve months. Malone is appealing against the prison sentence.
		'The Crown prosecutor read extracts from the speech in which Malone asked "What are a
		few Churchills or a few Curzons on lamp posts compared to the massacres of thousands of
		human beings?" and pointed out that the speech was made to an audience including many
		weakminded aliens only too likely to respond to an incitement to loot, burn and murder.
		'Two loaded revolvers were discovered in Malone's apartment and also tickets showing that
		he had checked at the nearest subway station parcels containing a typewritten pamphlet
		intended as a "guide for teaching the Red officer's course." This was a course of military
		training for members of a Red army. The preface read: "We are the soldiers of the Red army,
		and we shall soon be fighting in all five continents. We shall not lay down our arms until the
		world is ours."
		'There was a warning that they must conduct their operations underground and with
		absolute strict secrecy. The King's army was always referred to as the enemy. "We can
		reduce that army by propaganda," said the pamphlet, "and half of it will no doubt come over
		to our side." Further extracts detailed what steps were to be taken to organize street
		fighting, and precautions to be taken in big towns for defending the Red army barracks
		against the regular forces. The forces of the Crown were described in detail.
		In defence Malone's counsel urged that his Albert Hall speech was a mere matter of
		rhetoric.
		'There were loud cries of "Shame" from Malone sympathizers in court when the sentence
		was pronounced.
		'Prior to the sentence Malone declared through his attorney that he withdrew nothing and
		apologized for nothing in his Albert Hall speech and was willing to stand trial. The case
		has caused a sensation in England because of Malone's position as a member of the House
		of Commons and his notable war record.
		'The definition of what constituted seditious utterances over which the opposing counsel
		had a lengthy argument was settled by Magistrate Chester Jones, who in passing sentence
		declared that any advocacy of overturning the Government of a country by force
		constituted sedition. Of this, he held, the accused was undoubtedly guilty. He added that
		Malone went further and advocated murder under certain circumstances, not only of cabinet
		members, but of labor leaders.
		'The Magistrate declared that the pamphlets were of such a nature that the author might
		well be charged with high treason. Malone's attorney held that his client had a perfect right
		to state publicly the Communist views which he honestly held, and that his references to
		Churchill, Curzon and lamp posts were attributable to "rhetorical argument." The authorities,
		said the attorney, did not have the right to suppress the discussion of Communism simply
		because it inconvenienced the powers of the day.'
		As well as being sentenced to six months' imprisonment, Malone was also stripped of his
		OBE. He began agitating for the merger of the Communist Party with the Labour Party, but
		when this fell through, he joined the Independent Labour Party, for which party he again sat
		in the House of Commons for Northampton between 1928 and 1931.
		Augustus Henry Archibald Anson VC, MP for Bewdley 1859-1868 and Bewdley
		1869-1874
		Anson, a son of the 1st Earl of Lichfield, was a Captain in the 84th Regiment of Foot during
		the Indian Mutiny when he was awarded the Victoria Cross. The citation to the award,
		which was gazetted on 24 December 1858, reads as follows:-
		'For conspicuous bravery at Bolundshahur on the 28th of September, 1857. The 9th Light
		Dragoons had charged through the town, and were reforming in the Serai; the enemy
		attempted to close the entrance by drawing their carts across it, so as to shut in the
		cavalry and form a cover from which to fire upon them. Captain Anson, taking a lance,
		dashed out of the gateway and knocked the drivers off their carts. Owing to a wound in
		his left hand, received at Delhi, he could not stop his horse, and rode into the middle of
		the enemy, who fired a volley at him, one ball passing through his coat. At Lucknow, at
		the assault of the Secundra Bagh, on the 16th of November, 1857, he entered with the
		storming party on the gates being burst open. He had his horse killed, and was himself
		slightly wounded. He has shown the greatest gallantry on every occasion, and has slain
		many enemies in fight.'
