		William Felix Laurence Austin Munster, MP for Mallow 1872-1874
		On 11 April 1877, in St.Louis, Missouri, a fire broke out in the Southern Hotel. This six-storey
		building was widely regarded as one of the premier hotels in the city. Shortly after 1 a.m., the
		flames were first noticed and guests started to flee the hotel. Most of the 300 guests escaped
		but 21 guests and hotel workers perished, including 8 who were killed when jumping in a vain
		attempt to escape the flames.
		Two of the guests in the hotel that night were William Felix Laurence Austin Munster and his
		wife. The following account appeared in the St.Louis 'Globe-Democrat' of 12 April 1877:-
		'The marriage three months since of the Hon. William Felix Austin Munster, of Brighton, Sussex,
		England, to Miss Blanche, daughter of Dr. H.C. Lynch, a highly-respected citizen of St. Louis,
		was a brilliant social event. The bridal party left on a tour to the South, and returned on the
		Grand Republic last Friday. They engaged board at the Southern. Their rooms were on the
		fifth floor, facing on Fourth street. On the ill-fated night the husband and wife had retired
		early. Under the influence of an opiate, Mr. Munster slept soundly. Mrs. Munster awoke before
		the alarm had become general, and with difficulty aroused her husband. Hastily dressing, they
		attempted to escape by the halls. The smoke stifled and blinded them. "We will smother to
		death," shrieked the wife, and together they returned to the room they had just quitted and
		closed the door. They looked out of the window. No ladders were up. The noise of the flames
		was heard, and they knew that death was near. There seemed to be no hope. Someone
		hallooed up, "Make a rope out of your sheets." They made it. "Climb down, Blanche," said the
		husband. She started, but returned. "How will you get down if you give me that rope?" said
		she. "Will you be brave?" said he. "Yes." "Then we will die together." He had a revolver, and
		he said, "We will at least not burn to death."
		'At this moment the door was burst in. Some brave fellow lifted Mrs. Munster to his shoulders
		and ran with her through the halls. "My husband," she cried. He followed and answered.
		Scorched, wet, and exhausted, they reached the street. They were but thinly clad. Together
		they started for the residence of a relative, and at 3 o'clock reached the residence of Mr.
		Frank J. Donovan, a relative of the lady. To the inmates of the house they told the story of
		the night's horror, and Mr. Donovan and Dr. Lynch, who happened [to be] in the house
		overnight, started down to the scene of the fire.
		'Mr. Jerry Conroy, business partner of Mr. Donovan, and an intimate friend of Mr. Munster, was
		early on the scene of the fire. Knowing the location of the room of his friends, he made every
		effort to reach them. Some one told him that they were safe and were at Donovan's house. He
		called a carriage and was driven out there. The home is at 2827 Gamble street. When he
		returned it was with Mr. Munster. They again visited the fire. Together they went amongst the
		scenes of death and suffering. Together they witnessed some of the fearful death-leaps, and
		scenes of horror that abounded. The ghastly whole seemed to have a depressing effect upon
		Mr. Munster. At about 5 o'clock they went up to Conroy's office, ina a building at the corner of
		Fourth and Olive streets, and lay down for a while. At 5.30 Dr. Lynch and Frank Donovan came
		up to the office. The party discussed the evnt of the night. Mr. Munster seemed to be greatly
		depressed, and talked in a vein of deep melancholy. When daylight broke, and the noise and
		bustle of the street told that the city was awke, Mr. Donovan suggested an adjournment to
		his house for breakfast. Mr. Conroystarted down the stairs; Mr. Donovan followed; Dr. Lynch
		had just left the room. "Close the door, William," said the Doctor to Munster, who tarried. The
		reply was the report of a pistol.
		'The party hurried back into the office. Mr. Munster lay upon the floor dead. He had taken a
		revolver, the property of Mr. Conroy, from a bureau drawer, placed the muzzle in his mouth,
		and fired.
		'They covered the body, and Dr. Lynch departed to break the news to his daughter - she who
		three months ago was a bride, and is to-day a widow,
		'William Munster was insane when he shot himself. That fact is admitted. For weeks his brain
		had been giving way, and even before his marriage he was under treatment for radical
		defects in his nervous organization. His conduct has been eccentric, and he seemed himself to
		understand his condition, and to struggle against it. Early in the evening of the night of the
		fire he called upon Dr. Kennard for a prescription. The Doctor prescribed a simple soporific, and
		an operation was performed upon a boil upon his neck.
		'From the leaves of Dr. Thorn's Irish Almanac the reporter learned that William Felix Austin
		Munster, Esq., is the son of Lord Henry Munster [sic], of Sussex, England. He was born at
		Brighton, in 1849, and was in his twenty-eighth year at the time of his death. He was a
		graduate of Bath, Oxford and the London University, and was a Bachelor of Law. He
		represented the Mallow District in 1872 and [retired] in 1874, serving with distinction and
		credit. He has made periodical visits to America during the past three years.'
		Walter Powell, MP for Malmesbury 1868-1881
		Powell was the son of Thomas Powell, an extremely wealthy man whose fortune derived
		from vast interests in coal, railways and shipping. At one point in the 1840s, Powell was
		the world's largest coal producer. His company, under the name of Powell Duffryn plc, is still
		a major player in the areas of ports and engineering - its coal interests were nationalised
		in 1946.
		Walter entered Parliament at the general election in December 1868 when, standing as
		the Conservative candidate, he was successful in the seat of Malmesbury. He continued
		to represent this constituency until his death 13 years later.
		His great love was ballooning, which eventually led to his death in December 1881. The
		following report appeared in 'The Times' of 13 December 1881:-
		'There is every reason to fear that Mr. Walter Powell, M.P., who was carried out to sea
		in a balloon in the neighbourhood of Bridport on Saturday [10 December 1881] has perished
		in the English Channel. The accident is fully detailed in the letter which we publish below by
		Captain Templer who, with Mr. Gardner, son of the late member for Cheltenham,
		accompanied Mr. Powell in his fatal ascent. The balloon, which was named the Saladin, was
		the property of the War Office, but about six months ago it was lent by the Government to
		the Meteorological Society, for whom Captain Templer and his associates made their ascent
		at Bath on Saturday. On leaving Bath the balloon was carried over Somerset to Exeter,
		thence into Dorset. Near Bridport the areonauts attempted to descend. The balloon struck
		the ground with great violence, and Captain Templer was thrown out. This caused the
		balloon to rise, and as it did so Mr. Gardner fell out at a height of about eight feet, breaking
		his leg. Mr. Powell remianed in the car, and was then rapidly borne out to sea in a south-
		easterly direction. When last seen he was waving his hand to Captian Templer. It is not
		known at present how far the balloon has carried, but as nothing has been heard of it from
		the Channel Islands or from France, it is feared that it has been lost at sea.'
		The letter from Captain Templer referred to in 'The Times' report above reads as follows:-
		'I regret to report that on Saturday, the 10th of December, I ascended at Bath,
		accompanied by Mr. Walter Powell and Mr. Agg Gardner, at 1.55 p.m., for the purpose of
		taking the temperature of the air, and the amount of snow in the air, for the
		Meteorological Office. I cleared the snow clouds at 4,000 ft altitude: the temperature of
		these clouds was 28 deg., and the wet-bulb thermometer read 26 deg. At 4,200 ft we
		passed over Wells, the time being 2h.50 m. At this height I worked over Glastonbury: the
		temperature now rose to 41 deg., and the sky was perfectly clear. I passed then between
		Somerton and Langport, and I here found that I was in a N 1/2 W current. I asked Mr.
		Powell to send the balloon up to 6,000 ft. to ascertain the temperature of a small bank of
		cirrus. I found this temperature to be 31 deg., and then I asked him to place me at 2,000
		ft. altitude, to regain the N 1/2 W current, and we then came in view of Crewkerne. I now
		kept at a low altitude until I reached Beaminster. Mr. Powell here observed that we were
		going at 30 miles an hour, and here we first heard the roar of the sea. The balloon suddenly
		rose to 4,000 ft.; at this time I said to Mr. Powell "Go down to within 100 ft. of the earth
		and ascertain our exact position." We coasted along close to the ground until we reached
		Symondsbury. I here called to a man and asked him how far the distance was to Bridport,
		and he said about a mile. I asked Mr. Powell to prepare to 'take in,' our pace now
		increasing to 35 miles an hour. To avoid the little village of Neape, Mr. Powell threw out
		some ballast. This took us to 1,500 ft. elevation, and we still had two miles to get in. I
		opened the valve and descended about 150 yards short of the cliff. The balloon, on
		touching the ground, dragged a few feet, and I rolled out of the car with the valve line
		in my hand. This caused the balloon to ascend about 8 ft., when Mr Gardner dropped off
		and unfortunately broke his leg. I found that the rope was being pulled through my hands
		and I called to Mr. Powell, who was standing in the car, to come down the line. He took
		hold of the line, and in a few more seconds the line was torn through my hands. The
		balloon rose rapidly. Mr. Powell waved his hands to me and I took his compass bearings,
		and found that he was going in a S 1/2 E direction. Some men coming up, I placed Mr.
		Gardner in their charge, and sent word to the Coastguard and Bridport Harbourmaster to
		keep a good look out and to go out with boats. I then proceeded to Bridport and
		telegraphed to the Commanding Officer of Royal Engineers, Weymouth, to have a steamer
		in readiness for me to go in search. I proceeded to Weymouth and found the steamship
		Commodore with steam up. I here received a telegram from the Bridport Harbourmaster,
		saying that the balloon had been seen to drop in the sea south of Bridport. I at once
		proceeded to sea, and searched the alleged place of his descent, making due allowance
		for the wind and current. This proving unsuccessful, I crossed the Channel till we sighted
		the Casquets Light, and then returned in a N.W. direction, ultimately reaching Weymouth
		about 5 a.m. on Sunday morning, and have organized further search. I am of [the] opinion
		that what was seen to fall into the sea was not the balloon, but part of the gear, thrown
		out to lighten the balloon, as the balloon could not have fallen so close to the shore as to
		be visible about 5 p.m.'
		In spite of exhaustive searches which continued during the next three weeks, no sign of
		Powell was ever seen again.
		Philip Kirkland Glazebrook, MP for Manchester South 1912-1918
		Glazebrook first contested Manchester South in the general election held in December 1910,
		but failed, due to a mistake made by his election agent. An article in "The Times" of 3
		December 1910 recounts what happened:-
		'The Unionist campaign in Manchester was been seriously prejudiced on the eve of the poll
		by an incomprehensible blunder. Mr. A. A. Haworth, the Liberal candidate for South
		Manchester, was returned unopposed through the failure of his Unionist opponent to hand
		in his nomination paper within the period prescribed by law. The Lord Mayor, Mr. Behrens,
		sat at the Town Hall to receive nominations from 10 to 12 o'clock this morning. Sir George
		Kemp and Mr. Bonar Law, the rival candidates in the North-West Division, were in early
		attendance and had a friendly chat while the necessary formalities were being gone
		through. The candidates for the other divisions were all nominated in good time with the
		exception of Mr. P. K. Glazebrook, the Unionist candidate for South Manchester.
		'When the hour of noon struck Unionists found to their consternation that Mr. Glazebrook
		had not arrived, and the Lord Mayor had no option but to announce that he had only
		received one nomination, and to declare Mr. Haworth elected an hour later. At six minutes
		past 12 o'clock Mr. Glazebrook and his agent drove up to the Town Hall in a motor-car. Mr.
		Glazebrook was horrified when he was told that he was too late for nomination, and his
		agent explained that he thought that the period for nominations was from 12 o'clock till 2.
		Nobody seems to have thought of telephoning either to Mr. Glazebrook or his agent to
		warn them of their danger, and the expression of astonishment and sorrow on the faces of
		both when they were told that Mr. Haworth had been elected showed conclusively, if proof
		were needed, that the business was a bungle, and not, as the excited crowd which was
		swarming round the Town Hall had begun to conjecture, a "plant." '
		In February 1912, Sir Arthur Haworth [he had been created a baronet in 1911] was
		appointed a Junior Lord of the Treasury (i.e. a government Whip). This appointment meant
		that Sir Arthur had to face his electors again in a by-election, which was held on 5 March
		1912. This time, Glazebrook made sure that his nomination was lodged in time, and went on
		to win the seat.
		During the First World War, Glazebrook saw action in Egypt and Palestine, where he was
		killed in action ar Bireh, near Jerusalem, on 7 March 1918.
		Edwin John James, MP for Marylebone 1859-1861
		After a brief attempt to make a career for himself on the stage, James followed in his
		father's footsteps and was called to the bar in June 1836. Over the next 20 years, he
		acquired a large and lucrative practice, taking silk in late 1853. Although he was now a
		Queen's Counsel, he was not elected a Bencher [i.e. a senior member of one of the Inns
		of Court], although it was customary to do so at that time. It has been speculated that
		the nature of his practice was deemed unsavoury by his fellow barristers, since he appeared
		to specialize in the seamier side of the law - actions for breach of promise, seduction, false
		imprisonment and so on.
		Between 1855 and 1861, he acted as Recorder of Brighton, and, during this period, was
		elected to represent Marylebone in the House of Commons in February 1859.
		Although he was earning a large amount in fees, James was deeply in debt. On 9 April 1861,
		he resigned his seat in Parliament, as well as the membership of his clubs. The Benchers of
		his Inn of Court conducted their own investigation into his conduct, with the result that
		he was disbarred on 18 July 1861. They found that his debts amounted to £100,000 and
		that he had obtained money in the past by criminal means. For further details of the
		findings of the investigation, see the report below,
		In the meantime, James had married and gone to America, where he was admitted to the
		New York bar. On 15 July 1862, the "London Gazette" announced that "The Queen has by
		letters patent, under the Great Seal of the United Kingdom, determined the letters patent
		whereby Edwin John James, Esq., was appointed one of her Majesty's counsel learned in the
		law, and removed and discharged him from the said office." To the best of my knowledge,
		this was the first occasion upon which a Queen's Counsel was thrown out of the legal
		profession.
		When news of his disbarment reached New York, the authorities there attempted to disbar
		him there as well, but he denied the charges on oath and, as the judges could not reach a
		unanimous opinion, the question was dropped. After becoming an American citizen in 1866,
		he married for the second time in September 1868, his first wife having divorced him in
		1863. James returned to London in 1872, where he unsuccessfully attempted to have
		himself re-instated. He spent the remainder of his life as a legal adviser, but once again fell
		into debt,dying in poverty on 4 March 1882.
		The following article appeared in "Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper" on 16 February 1862, reprinted
		from the "Spectator." The original report is one massive paragraph, but I have taken the
		liberty of breaking it up into smaller chunks.
		'The cloud which shrouded the misdoings of Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., has at length been
		dispelled by the publication, in the last number of the Law Magazine, of a anrrative of the
		transactions on which the sentence of the bench was grounded. It seems that the charges
		were three in number.
		'The first and most important [arise] out of his relations with Lord Worsley, M.P., now Earl
		of Yarborough, which may be shortly stated as follows:- In 1849, Mr. Pelham, the late earl's
		brother, was contesting Boston, and Mr. Edwin James was retained to conduct his election.
		This introduction to the earl's family it was not difficult for a man of Mr. James's social
		qualities to improve. He became intimate with the son, and availed himself of the intimacy to
		induce him, immediately on attaining his majority, to become security to certain insurance-
		offices for a sum of £4,500, secured on life policies. The transaction was, however, brought
		to Lord Yarborough's knowledge, and a long correspondence with the earl's solicitor ensued,
		which was closed on the 7th of December, 1857, by a letter in which Mr. James pledged
		himself that the account for which Lord Worsley was security should be discharged by
		himself, and further declated himself under such "deep obligations" to the earl that he would
		make any sacrifice rather than occasion him annoyance or discomfort. On the 14th of
		August, 1860, the solicitor wrote again to Mr. James, requesting an explanation of some
		ugly rumours which had reached him, that Lord Worsley had been led into still worse
		pecuniary entanglements. Mr. James, however, was too busy in examining Neapolitan prisons
		and negotiating with Garibaldi, to vouchsafe a reply. But by February, 1861, facts had been
		discovered which authorised Lord Yarborough's adviser to demand a full statement in writing
		of every transaction with Lord Worsley. "A refusal," he concluded, "will be followed by most
		active steps for your exposure at all hazards."
		'At the subsequent inquiry before the bench, Lord Worsley gave evidence in person, and
		stated that he had believed that his earlier obligations on Mr. James's behalf had been
		liquidated by the money raised by the later transactions, but that Mr. James had deceived
		him, and he found himself responsible for no less a sum than £30,000. On this subject, Mr.
		James's letters amounted to a confession, and an agreement, dated the 8th April, 1860,
		was also laid before the bench, by which he agreed:- 1. To continue his practice, under a
		letter of license, for the benefit of his creditors; 2. That Lord Yarborough should have the
		power, by the disclosure of all the circumstances necessitating such deed or license, to
		prevent his acceptance of any office of public trust or service; 3. To give Lord Worsley
		a warrant of attorney for the amount of his debt; and 4. To absatin from any further
		communication, direct or indirect, with Lord Worsley. The agreement further stated that
		Lord Yarborough and his advisers consented to the arrangement, "solely because the
		large and serious debts of other creditors would, by present disclosures, be wholly
		sacrificed and lost," and that Mr. James was not to be at liberty to accede to it until he
		had resigned his seat in parliament, his clubs and recordership.
		'The next of our hero's exploits was the victimisation of an attorney. Mr. Fryer, of
		Wimborne, was the assignee of a heavy life policy, the payment of which the office resisted,
		and was much struck by the ability displayed by his leader, Mr. James, in the conduct of
		the cause. This acquaintance ripened into a friendship, and from a friend Mr. Fryer was soon
		advanced to the rank of a creditor. Finally he became fired by the ambition of freeing his
		friend from his embarrassments. There seems to have been a real income of £7,000, without
		parliamentary business, and he agreed to pay off the more pressing liabilities, on condition
		of receiving the whole of Mr. James's income. This arrangement lasted two years, during
		which Mr. Fryer advanced no less than £22,000, and consented to his creditor becoming a
		member of parliament and the tenant of a mansion in Berkeley-square. He was already, in
		idea, receiving the fees of an attorney general when the crash came, and he and Lord
		Worsley for the first time became convinced of the claims of the other. It is very creditable
		to Mr. James's adroitness that he had succeeded in persuading Lord Yarborough's solicitor
		that there was no truth in the report that he was indebted to Mr. Fryer, and in persuading
		Mr. Fryer that he was under no obligations to Lord Worsley.
		'The last charge was of a different character. Mr. James was counsel for the plaintiff in the
		cause of Scully v Ingram; and after a protracted trial, in which he cross-examined the
		defendant, the proprietor of the Illustrated London News, into what an Irishman might
		describe as smithereens, a verdict was given for the plaintiff. A new trial was then applied
		for and obtained, pending which Mr. Ingram said to one of his friends, "I must lend Mr.
		James some money." On his friend demurring to the necessity, he added, "I must - I am
		afraid of him - I must do anything he asks." And after his death, the following letter was
		found: - "Confidential. My dear sir, - You shall not repent your kindness to me. I must make
		the sum £1,250. Please deduct the interest, and send me cheques. Sincerely, Edwin James."
		No one will be surprised to hear that at the second trial a compromise was effected. Mr.
		James's account of this transaction was, that Mr. Ingram, in conjunction with three or four
		other friends, offered £1,000 each towards the expenses of his second election [sic for
		trial], and that he had since repaid the other loans. He did not, however, reveal the lenders'
		names, and had the grace to aver that he should always regret the indiscretion of his
		acceptance of Mr. Ingram's proposition.
		'So fell Mr. Edwin James, to be pitied of no man. For the first time of her Majesty's counsel
		has been disbarred. But although the honour of the bar has been vindicated, his patent from
		the crown remains still uncancelled [as mentioned above, it was cancelled in July 1862].
		This may be from inadvertance, but these are not times in which laxity on such subjects
		can be indulged with impunity. We are far from believing that such turpitude as Mr. James's
		conduct displays is anything but a portentious exception. But the patient and underpaid
		toilers of all professions who gaze with envy on the seemingly prosperous leader at the bar,
		may depend on it that all which glitters is not always gold; that the splendid incomes with
		which rumour endows them are grossly exaggerated; and that it has more than once
		happened, even recently, that lawyers supposed to be in affluence have been - not indeed
		as guilty as Mr. James - but, like him, absolutely ruined and desperate men.'
