		John Deasy, MP for Cork City 1884-1885 and Mayo West 1885-1893
		In July 1893, Deasy was charged with assaulting a servant girl at his lodgings. The following
		report appeared in 'The Illustrated Police News' of 22 July 1893:-
		'At the London County Sessions, before Sir P[eter] Edlin, John Deasy, M.P. for West Mayo,
		surrendered to his bail to answer the charge of assaulting Ellen Lewis. Mr. C. F. Gill appeared
		for the prosecution; while Sir Edward Clarke, Q.C., and Mr. Poland defended. Mr. Gill said the
		prosecutrix, a girl between sixteen and seventeen years of age, was employed as general
		servant by a Mrs. Postlethwaite, of 75, Warwick-street, where the defendant lodged,
		occupying a back room on the top floor. On the evening of Sunday, June 4th, in response to
		a ring, the girl went up to the defendant's room, and it was then alleged that the offence
		was committed; but Mrs. Postlethwaite coming suddenly into the room prevented anything
		further occurring, and the defendant left the house that evening. The girl was in a nervous
		and excited state, but Mrs. Postlethwaite appeared to have taken no steps in the matter,
		and it was not until the girl had spoken to her sister, the wife of a plumber, that any steps
		were taken. Ellen Lewis, the prosecutrix, was then called. She said that when she took a
		candle and tumbler to Mr. Deasy's room on the evening in question he took hold of her and
		said he wanted to kiss her, and at the same time pulled her on the bed and put one hand
		over her face. Just then Mrs. Postlethwaite entered and told him she would want his room
		at the end of the week. On the following Tuesday the prosecutrix saw her sister and told
		her what had occurred. Mrs. Kate Edith Postlethwaite having been examined, Mr. Deasy was
		sworn, and, examined by Mr. Poland, repeated the version of the incident which he gave
		before the magistrate. [In a previous hearing Deasy said the girl had tripped over one of his
		legs and had fallen on the bed from where he was pulling her up when Mrs.Postlethwaite
		entered the room. He did admit to offering to kiss her.] Evidence as to character was called,
		the witnesses being Sir Thomas Gratton Esmonde, Bart.,M.P., Sir George Penrose, formerly
		High Sheriff and Mayor of Cork, and Mr. Justin McCarthy. Sir Edward Clarke addressed the
		jury on behalf of the defendant. Mr. Gill having addressed the jury for the prosecution, the
		judge summed up. The jury, upon their return, found a verdict of not guilty of indecent
		assault, but guilty of common assault against the defendant, who was ordered to pay a
		fine of £25 and costs.'
		A few days after the completion of his trial, Deasy resigned his seat. He died of consumption
		(i.e. tuberculosis) in February 1896, aged only 39.
		Kevin Izod O'Doherty, MP for Meath North 1885-1886
		The following biography appeared in the July 1973 issue of the Australian monthly magazine
		"Parade":-
		Mary Anne [other sources say Eva, which makes more sense, considering her pen-name] Kelly,
		the Irish poet whose love of country was matched only by her hatred of Britain, sat in the
		Newgate Prison cell facing her fiancé Kevin O'Doherty, medical student and master of sedition.
		The young woman listened calmly as O'Doherty outlined the offer made to him - he would be
		pardoned if he pleaded guilty to the treason-felony charges levelled against him. But such
		action would involve his friends. O'Doherty asked the lovely, raven-haired Mary: "I don't want
		to lose you - ever. But I hate the idea of pleading guilty. What should I do?" It never occurred
		to Mary Kelly that there could be an alternative. "Do?" she exclaimed. "Why, be a man and
		face the worst. I'll wait for you no matter how long."
		'And Mary Kelly did wait, for seven long years while Kevin O'Doherty served his term of
		transportation in Tasmania which included a short stretch in the soul-destroying penitentiary
		at Port Arthur. In 1855, following his release, O'Doherty, although still banned from the United
		Kingdom, secretly visited Ireland and took Mary just as secretly to London where they were
		married by Cardinal Wiseman. After that, they fled to France. It was one of the great love
		stories of the time, this match between a couple whose bonds were forged in Ireland's tragic
		and bloody struggles to break her links with Britain. Having married despite the obstacles
		placed in their path, the O'Dohertys returned to Australia where the former convict became a
		member of the Queensland Legislative Council.
		Kevin O'Doherty was born in Dublin in 1823 and after excelling in secondary studies entered
		the medical faculty of Dublin University. It was the era of that great rebel and fighter for
		independence, Daniel O'Connell, who even then had thousands of Irishmen drilling to be ready
		for the day when Ireland would rise against her British overlords. Spearhead of the
		independence movement was the newspaper Nation, one of whose co-founders was Charles
		Gavan Duffy, who later migrated to Australia, entered politics and became Premier of Victoria.
		Among those literate rebels who contributed to the Nation were young Kevin O'Doherty and
		Mary Anne Kelly, a teenager whose patriotic poetry, under the pen-name of Eva, tugged at
		the heart strings of her countrymen.
		'Then came the potato blight which leapt the Atlantic from America, and spreading through
		Europe, took Ireland in its grip. The potato was the staff of life in Ireland - and every crop in
		the country began rotting in the ground. In five years a million Irishmen died while nearly twice
		that number fled overseas from the misery and death of their native land. And out of Ireland's
		torments rose the Young Ireland Party which included in its membership hot-blooded rebels
		such as the Member of the House of Commons, Smith O'Brien, who led an insurrection in
		Tipperary.
		'During the clash police opened fire, killing several rebels and wounding more. For his part in
		the uprising Smith O'Brien was sentenced to transportation to Tasmania. And Kevin O'Doherty
		continued contributing his seditious outpourings to the Nation, at the same time writing for his
		friend John Mitchel (qv) who, in 1847, founded the United Irishmen to fight for independence
		and rouse the country to armed resistance.
		'When, inevitably, Mitchel too was sent off to Tasmania, O'Doherty with Richard Dalton
		Williams [1822-1862] founded the Irish Tribune which blasted England with all the seditious
		vituperation at the editor's command. It ran for five hate-filled editions before the British
		authorities closed it down and hauled the co-founders off to London where they were locked
		up with the city's most vicious criminals in Newgate Prison. Not that the men's fires of
		patriotism were quenched, for from their cells they published a prospectus for a new weekly
		to be known as the Newgate Calendar.
		'The ambitious project, however, was quickly nipped in the bud, so the frustrated O'Doherty
		and Williams decided to escape. Not that the plan succeeded, for a guard in whom they had
		put their trust betrayed them and a search by prison officials uncovered a rope ladder in
		O'Doherty's cell. To the charge of treason was now added that of felony. Twice O'Doherty
		was placed on trial and twice his impassioned defence on his own behalf caused the juries to
		disagree. Before his third trial the Irish patriot was quietly told that if he pleaded guilty (which
		would mean involving some of his friends) his pardon would be automatic.
		So it came about that on August 10, 1848, O'Doherty was visited in his cell by his fiancé Mary
		Anne Kelly. The lovely young poet told him to let his captors do to him what they wished. "I'll
		wait for you, always," she said. So Kevin O'Doherty pleaded not guilty, a plea that was
		rejected by the third jury although it did make a recommendation for mercy. The "mercy"
		consisted of being sentenced to 10 years' transportation to Tasmania.
		'Not long before he sailed, Mary Kelly visited him, told him to be steadfast and reassured him
		that no matter how long they were parted she would still be waiting when he returned home.
		Thus, as Kevin O'Doherty set out on a long voyage to Hobart [where he arrived in November
		1849], his bride-to-be returned to Ireland where her sentimental verse lamenting the fate of
		her lover aroused in her countrymen not only grief but a deep hatred of Britain.
		'For a while life was kind to Kevin O'Doherty in Tasmania. He was sent to the Oatlands district
		where a hero-worshipping fellow Irishman, Patrick Smith, took him into his house. O'Doherty
		was even able to continue his medical studies under the direction of Dr. Edward Hall. O'Doherty
		led an exemplary life, looking only to the day when he could rejoin Mary. Indeed, he set such
		an example of moral character that those who knew him dubbed him St. Kevin.
		'In 1850, when he was transferred to Hobart, he decided to breach regulations by visiting his
		old comrade Smith O'Brien, then a ticket-of-leave convict at New Norfolk, about 20 miles
		away. At the time O'Brien was scarcely in the good graces of Governor William Denison. When
		O'Brien had arrived in the colony the governor, as a friendly gesture, had offered him an
		immediate ticket-of-leave, but the rebel MP had rejected the offer and instead had gone to
		work stirring up other Irishmen in his community. Later, O'Brien had tried to escape but had
		been captured and promptly sent to the notorious Port Arthur penal settlement. After a taste
		of Port Arthur, he accepted his friends' advice and took the ticket-of-leave which was still on
		offer.
		'So when Governor Denison heard that O'Doherty had broken parole to visit O'Brien he
		suspected the two were plotting some intrigue (which they probably were) and sentenced
		O'Doherty to three months in Port Arthur. There, O'Doherty was chained with a gang of the
		toughest lags and worked at hard labour from 6 am to sunset. His treatment was exactly the
		same as that meted out to the most vicious prisoner. At the end of two weeks, Denison,
		believing O'Doherty had learned his lesson, released him and even allowed him to associate
		with his old colleague of the United Irishman, John Mitchel. It was Mitchel who became
		concerned with O'Doherty's deep despondency. Mitchel wrote to a friend: "There is in Ireland
		a dark-eyed lady with hair like blackest midnight. In the tangle of those silken tresses she has
		bound my poor friend's soul."
		'In 1854 the British Government granted an amnesty to most of the rebels of the Young Ireland
		party and O'Brien and O'Doherty were given their freedom on condition they did not enter the
		the United Kingdom, which included Ireland. Kevin O'Doherty took a house near Paris and
		corresponded daily with Mary Kelly. But by 1855 he knew he could wait no longer for his
		marriage day. So he secretly entered Ireland and, with Mary, just as secretly crossed to
		London, where they were married by Cardinal Wiseman. The couple then fled back to France.
		There O'Doherty graduated in medicine and, when his pardon was made unconditional, he
		returned to Dublin where he set up in practice. Yet all the time his heart was in Australia. He
		never tired of talking of the wonderful country and in the end Mary agreed to migrate with him.
		'After arriving in Sydney in 1862 the couple moved to the new colony of Queensland and
		settled in Brisbane. Here, O'Doherty hung his medical plate while Mary's poetic pen spoke
		warmly about the land of her adoption. In 1867, O'Doherty became a member of the
		Queensland Legislative Assembly and ten years later accepted a Legislative Council seat.
		'And then another wave of anti-Union violence rocked Ireland, caused by the inhuman
		evictions and tyranny of landlords domiciled in Britain. The new troubles came to a head with
		the murder in Dublin's Phoenix Park of Lord [Frederick] Cavendish, chief secretary to Lord
		Spencer, the new viceroy. Cavendish's companion, Burke, was also shot to death. The leader
		of the Irish attack in the House of Commons was Charles Stewart Parnell who, aided by his
		Irish supporters, was able to block the business of the House.
		'Far away in Australia the old Irish nationalism in Kevin and Mary O'Doherty blazed anew. They
		sailed immediately for their homeland and there Kevin was elected a member of the House of
		Commons. He threw himself into the battle to wreck the business of the Commons and helped
		Parnell fight off the libellous accusations in the forged letter of the traitor Piggott that Parnell
		had condoned the Phoenix Park killings. Then the revelations of the passionate association
		between Parnell and Kitty O'Shea smashed Irish hopes of independence for decades. British
		puritans in the House demanded Parnell's resignation. He refused and his party split into
		factions. So Kevin O'Doherty, his heart heavy, resigned his seat [not so - he simply did not
		stand again at the next election], and with Mary returned to Brisbane. The old warhorse died
		there on July 20, 1905. Mary joined him in death in May 1910.'
		William James (Liam) Mellowes, MP for Meath North 1918-1922 (and also for
		Galway East)
		Mellowes was a fervent Irish nationalist who was an active member of the Irish Republican
		Brotherhood and one of the founder members of the Irish Volunteers. He was arrested and
		imprisoned a number of times but, after escaping from Reading Jail, he returned to Ireland
		to become one of the leading commanders of the Irish forces in the 1916 Easter Rebellion.
		After the failure of this rebellion, Mellowes fled to America, where he was arrested and
		imprisoned without trial in the belief that he was attempting to aid the Germans during WW1.
		Released at war's end, he returned to Ireland where he had in his absence been elected to
		the House of Commons for both Meath North and Galway East as a Sinn Féin candidate,
		although, in common with other Sinn Féin members, he never took up either of his seats at
		Westminster.
		Back in Ireland, his role was "Director of Supplies" (i.e. he was responsible for obtaining
		weapons) of the IRA. When the Anglo-Irish Treaty was signed in December 1921, Mellowes
		considered this to be a betrayal of Ireland, and he soon became the implacable enemy of
		the Treaty's supporters.
		In June 1922, the Irish Civil War broke out. During the previous April, anti-Treaty forces had
		occupied the Four Courts, the main court complex of Ireland, situated in Dublin. In June the
		Courts were attacked by pro-Treaty forces, precipitating a week of street fighting that
		became known as the Battle of Dublin. Armed with cannons supplied by the British, the pro-
		Treaty forces soon pounded the rebels into surrender, and Mellowes was captured and
		imprisoned.
		On 6 December 1922, a pro-Treaty member of the Dáil Éireann (the Irish Parliament) named
		Sean Hales was assassinated. According to a report in "The Times" on 7 December 1922:-
		'Dublin was profoundly shocked today at the news that one of the members of the new Free
		State Parliament had been murdered in the city's streets, while another had been seriously
		wounded.
		'Mr. Sean Hales, member for West Cork, the late Michael Collins's constituency, and Mr.
		Padraig O'Maille, member for Galway, who yesterday was elected Deputy-Speaker of the
		new House, had luncheon together at the Ormond Hotel, Ormond Quay. At about 2.30 they
		left the hotel to attend the meeting of Parliament and, having called a jaunting car, were
		shaking hands with the proprietor, who is a relative of one of them, when they were
		attacked by a band of armed men who were lying in wait for them along the quays. Several
		shots were fired, and Mr. Hales fell immediately, shot through the temple and the lungs. Mr.
		O'Maille was wounded in the back and side, but fortunately his wounds are unlikely to prove
		fatal. Both men were taken to Jervis-street Hospital, where Mr. Hales was found to be
		dead.'
		Two days later, in a reprisal for the murder of Hales, Liam Mellowes and three other men
		who had been captured with him at the Four Courts, were executed by firing squad at
		Mountjoy Gaol. The order for the execution was signed by Kevin O'Higgins, the Minister for
		Justice and former MP for Queen's County 1918-1922. As an indication of the bitterness
		which pervaded Ireland at that time, one of the other men executed, Rory O'Connor, had
		been best man at O'Higgins's wedding. O'Higgins was himself assassinated in 1927 - see the
		note under the page containing details of the MPs for Queen's County.
		Robert Edward Dudley Ryder VC, MP for Merton and Morden 1950-1955
		Ryder was a Commander in the Royal Navy when he won the Victoria Cross for his actions
		in the raid on St. Nazaire on 28 March 1942. The award was gazetted on 21 May 1942, the
		citation reading as follows:-
		"For great gallantry in the attack on St. Nazaire.  He commanded a force of small
		unprotected ships in an attack on a heavily defended port and led H.M.S. Campbelltown in
		under intense fire from short range weapons at point blank range. Though the main object
		of the expedition had been accomplished in the beaching of Campbelltown, he remained on
		the spot conducting operations, evacuating men from Campbelltown and dealing with strong
		points and close range weapons while exposed to heavy fire for one hour and sixteen
		minutes, and did not withdraw till it was certain that his ship could be of no use in rescuing
		any of the Commando Troops who were still ashore. That his Motor Gun Boat, now full of
		dead and wounded, should have survived and should have been able to withdraw through
		an intense barrage of close range fire was almost a miracle."
		Ryder was elected at the 1950 general election for Merton and Morden as a Conservative
		and sat until he retired in 1955.
