		CONSTITUENCY ABOLISHED 1950
		John Mytton, MP for Shrewsbury 1819-1820
		The following is extracted from "The Emperor of the United States of America and Other
		Magnificent British Eccentrics" by Catherine Caufield (Routledge & Kegan Paul, London 1981)
		John Mytton was a sporting man. At the age of 12 he prevailed upon his widowed mother to
		allow him to establish his own pack of harriers. He was also highly spirited, strong willed and
		used to having his own way. Mrs Mytton, unable to cope, depended upon the good influence
		of John's tutor, a tractable cleric named William Owen.
		Luckily Owen, a keen outdoorsman himself, was able to accept being the victim of his
		charge's numerous practical jokes. One one occasion he spent the night with a pony that
		young Jack had coaxed up the stairs and into Owen's bedroom, and that refused to budge
		from there until morning.
		Eventually the private tutorials came to an end. In 1807 at the age of 11, Mytton was sent
		to Westminster School, where, as a contemporary remembered, 'the boys fought one
		another; they fought the Masters; the Masters fought them; they fought outsiders; in short
		we were ready to fight anybody.' After a year Mytton proved too pugnacious even for this
		set; he was expelled, sent to Harrow, and after only four days, was thrown out of that
		establishment as well.
		Owen came once more into Mytton's life when he advised his erstwhile pupil to go to
		University; 'Upon my word, sir, you must go. Every man of fortune ought to go to Christ
		Church if only for a term or so.' Mytton's reaction was sullen. 'Well them, if I do go, I go
		on the following terms - that I shall never open a book!' 'There is not the least occasion
		to - not the smallest', was Owen's reassuring reply. It appears that Mytton had settled on
		Cambridge, as he ordered more than 2,000 bottles of port to be sent up in anticipation
		of his arrival, but at the last moment he thought better of it and embarked upon the Grand
		Tour instead.
		In 1816, after his return from the Continent, he joined the 7th Hussars, and spent a
		pleasant year gambling, drinking and racing with the army of occupation in France. With his
		majority approaching, Mytton decided to leave the army and return to take charge of the
		family estates at Halston, in Shropshire. His last gesture as a soldier was to jump his old
		one-eyed horse, Baronet, right over the fully laden mess-table as a farewell salute to his
		fellow officers.
		Mytton came into a fortune of £60,000 in cash and estates worth £18,000 a year. He
		needed all this, for in the remaining 17 years of his life he ran through more than £500,000.
		He began his adult life by running for Parliament. His appeal to voters was none too subtle;
		he walked the streets 'attired in a brilliant coloured coat trimmed with gold buttons and a
		ten pound note, intended for voters to snatch at, attached to each button.' These notes
		were replaced as they were taken, so that altogether Mytton spent £10,000 to win his
		place in Parliament. One might wonder why he bothered since, having a made a half-hour
		appearance for his swearing-in, Mytton returned to Halston and never showed himself at
		Westminster again.
		Meanwhile his fame as a daredevil sportsman and practical joker spread. Not content with
		riding fifty miles or more to and from meets several times a week, Mytton enjoyed going
		at fences, ditches and streams in a gig or a tandem. One night while dining with friends he
		agreed, on a wager of £150, to drive his tandem from the house to the highway - straight
		across a three-yard-wide sunk fence, a deep ditch and two hedges with ditches on the far
		side. The night was pitch black so twelve men were stationed along his route with
		lanterns. Mytton won the bet.
		On another occasion he was driving his friend and biographer, Nimrod (C J Apperley), late
		at night when they found their way blocked by a high hedge and a ditch. Mytton took a
		look and cheerfully announced, 'We'll manage it. This horse is a capital fencer.' Nimrod got
		out and watched as Mytton - horse, carriage and all - cleared the hurdle.
		Fear was a word Mytton refused to recognise. His imperious style of riding and hunting led
		to numberless accidents and broken bones; indeed he often rode out with broken ribs or
		with his arm in a sling, but he scorned caution and expected others to do likewise. He was
		shocked to hear from a friend as they were out driving that he had never been upset in a
		gig. 'What?' cried Mytton. 'Never! What a damned slow fellow you must have been all your
		life!' He then deliberately overturned the gig they were in, just to rectify this outrageous
		state of affairs. Luckily - and Mytton was incredibly lucky - no one was hurt.
		In his personal affairs Mytton was equally incautious. He started the day by opening a
		bottle of port which he drank as he shaved. Another four or five followed during the course
		of the day. Mytton was easily satisfied, however; he once drank a bottle of lavender water
		at his barber's when nothing else was available. How he managed to survive his field
		exploits with such a quantity of liquor under his belt is a mystery, but his drinking was such
		that a close friend signed an affidavit after Mytton's death to the effect that the Squire
		had been continually drunk for the previous twelve years.
		If port was Mytton's drink, filberts were his food. He had a standing order with a shopkeeper
		in Shrewsbury for filberts and as many as two cartloads were delivered to Halston in a
		season. Once he and a friend shared a carriage from London to Halston with 18 pounds of
		filberts and by the time they arrived they had eaten every one and were up to their knees
		in nut shells.
		Mytton's taste in clothes ran to lightweight garments totally unsuited to the winter sports
		he loved. He often went out in the dead of winter bare-headed, wearing no gloves and no
		underwear, and clad only in the thinnest silk stockings, delicate shoes, an unbuttoned
		waistcoat and unlined breeches. The better to camouflage himself while waiting in the
		snow for wildfowl, Mytton would often wear only a nighshirt, and once he crawled stark
		naked across a frozen pond in pursuit of some ducks. Still, his wardrobe was immense, with
		1000 hats, 3000 shirts and 152 pair of breeches and trousers.
		Mytton never lacked for animal companions; at one time Halston was home to 2,000 dogs.
		He also had more than 60 cats, each dressed in a style that suited its own breed. Mytton
		had a way with animals and was supremely confident around them. He once intervened in a
		fight between two fierce 70-pound bulldogs, picking up one dog by the nose with his teeth
		and holding him suspended while the second was taken away to safety. He also had a pet
		bear named Nell, which was docile enough with him, but not so reliable with other people.
		There was havoc after one of Mytton's dinner parties when the host appeared in the dining
		room in full hunting pink, mounted on Nell. In the excitement - with his friends jumping out
		of the windows and leaping onto the furniture - Mytton forgot himself and calling out
		'Tally-ho,' he spurred his unbroken mount, who retaliated by sinking her teeth into his leg.
		Nell was finally removed, and Mytton's leg eventually healed, sooner no doubt than his
		guests' nerves.
		Bringing animals into the house had been a fancy of Mytton's ever since his prank with
		the pony at the age of nine. In later years he sometimes sat his favourite horse, Baronet,
		by the fire after a hard day's hunting and served him mulled port.
		Friends and neighbours were kept alert, if not always amused, by Mytton's exploits. These
		included setting four foxes free in a public house in Shrewsbury; riding his horse upstairs
		into a hotel dining-room and jumping, still on horseback, from the balcony down into the
		street; buttering a piece of bread, topping it with a five pound note and eating it; and
		replacing the last few pages of Mr Owen's - now Mytton's own chaplain - sermon with
		pages from the Sporting Magazine.
		One one occasion Mytton got George Underhill, his horsedealer, drunk and put him into
		bed with two bulldogs and Nell. Another time, Mytton gave Underhill a note to a banker
		in Shrewsbury, ostensibly authorising him to collect money on Mytton's behalf. Instead,
		the banker, who was also a Governor of the local lunatic asylum, read this message;
		'Sir, admit the bearer, George Underhill, to the Lunatic Asylum. Your obedient servant,
		John Mytton.'
		On other occasions, Mytton amused himself by dressing up as a highwayman and robbing
		his own dinner guests at gunpoint or holding up his butler for the household payroll. Posing
		as a trespasser on his own property, Mytton was once thrashed by an applicant for the
		post of keeper on the estate. He cast off his disguise and hired the man on the spot.
		In spite of his impetuous, and often dangerous, behaviour, Mytton's generosity made him
		popular with his tenants. He gave money away as freely as he spent it. Visitors to Halston
		were likely to find bundles of notes lying around the grounds where their host had dropped
		them. One man, at whose parents' inn Mytton often stopped, recalled, 'My dear mother
		has often told me that nothing delighted him more than to fill my little fist with silver, which
		was to be all my own if I cursed and swore like a trooper.'
		Mytton's first wife died in 1820 after two years of marriage; he remarried, but the second
		Mrs Mytton left her husband in 1830. He was fond of both of his wives, but was totally unfit
		for marriage and certainly left a great deal to be desired as a husband. At about the time of
		his separation from Caroline, his second wife, Mytton's financial difficulties began to get very
		serious. His friends had long advised him that his spending was over the mark, but Mytton
		could never take advice, saying, 'What the devil is the use of my having a head on my
		shoulders if I am obliged to make use of yours?'
		Mytton hardley knew what he owed since he had a habit of never opening any letters,
		except those on which he recognised the handwriting. All others he assumed to be bills
		and sent straight on to his agent. Nimrod tried to counsel Mytton, telling him that if he
		would only live on £6,000 a year he would be saved. Mytton's response was a blank
		refusal: 'I would not give a straw for life if it was to be passed on £6,000 a year.' He
		talked of selling Halston and when reminded by anxious relatives that it had been in the
		family for 500 years he said, 'The devil it has! Then it is high time it should go out of it.'
		Eventually Mytton made his way to Calais to escape the bailiffs. Even in exile he had a few
		Myttonesque tricks up his sleeve. One evening in his hotel, impatient with a persistent
		attack of hiccups, he picked up a lighted candle, saying, 'Damn this hiccup! I'll frighten it
		away!', and set fire to his nightclothes. Luckily two companions were able to tear off the
		flaming nightshirt, but Mytton was horribly burned. As he collapsed onto his bed he cried,
		'The hiccup is gone, by God!'
		This foolish act of bravado, which owed something to the effects of brandy, kept Mytton
		in bed for four months. Of course, he found the notion of an enforced rest intolerable and
		the very day after the incident he insisted on dining out with a friend. A month later he
		announced his intention of paying a call on Nimrod. Knowing that, although he disapproved
		of the idea, he couldn't stop Mytton, Nimrod ordered a carriage to fetch his friend from the
		hotel. When Mytton, still swathed in bandages, saw a measly two-horse equipage at his
		door, he was furios and said he would sooner walk than settle for less than four horses.
		And walk he did, though it took two men to support him.
		At the end of 1832 he returned to England to sign some papers and was briefly confined in
		the King's Bench. On his release Mytton was walking across Westminster Bridge when he saw
		an attractive young woman. He asked where she was going. 'I don't know', was the reply.
		'Well, then,' he said, 'come live with me and I will settle £500 a year on you.' The girl, whose
		name was Susan, agreed and they went off to Calais together. Mytton was quite in love
		and Susan proved to be a very kind and sympathetic creature. After further adventures,
		mainly concerned with repeated arrests and imprisonments for small debts, Mytton, who by
		this time was ill from over-indulgence in drink, was fetched back to England by his mother.
		In early 1834, he was again confined in the King's Bench Prison where he died, from
		delirium tremens, at the end of March 1834.
		Three thousand people attended Mytton's coffin to its burial in a field behind the family
		chapel at Halston.

		Alfred James Dobbs, MP for Smethwick 1945
		Apart from four members who were posthumously returned to Parliament during the
		twentieth century, Dobbs holds the dubious distinction of being the shortest-serving
		MP during that period.
		On 26 July 1945, Dobbs, the Labour candidate, was returned at the declaration of the
		poll in the constituency of Smethwick. The next day, while driving along the Great North
		Road near Doncaster in Yorkshire, he swerved to avoid a child and collided with a military
		vehicle and was killed instantly. A passenger in his car, Mrs. Elsie Marshall, was severely
		injured and died on 5 August.
		Anthony Henley, MP for Southampton 1727-1734
		In 1733, while Henley was representing Southampton, he received a respectful request
		from his local corporation to oppose the Excise Bill. In reply, he wrote
		"I have received yours and am surprised at your insolence in troubling me about the excise.
		You know what I very well know, that I bought you.
		"And I know what perhaps you think I don't know, you are now selling yourselves to
		somebody else.
		"And I know what you don't know, that I am buying another borough.
		"May God's curse light on you all.
		"May your houses be as open and as common to all excise officers as your wives and
		daughters were to me when I stood for your scoundrel corporation."
		This letter was printed in The Weekly Register of 31 March 1733. However, Henley's
		letter appears to have been written as a joke, since his real letter, which is described
		as being "short and extremely proper" was immediately published by the Mayor of
		Southampton. In the event, he voted against the Excise Bill as he had been requested.

		Sir John Edmund Commerell VC, MP for Southampton 1885-1888
		Entering the Navy at age 13, in September 1855 Commerell was given the command of the
		gun-vessel Weser based in the Sea of Azov during the Crimean War. On 11 October 1855,
		together with two other men, he landed and made a hazardous march inland in order to
		destroy a large Russian storage of forage and corn. The party reached its objective and
		managed to set fire to the corn stacks, but they were discovered by the guards and a hot
		pursuit ensued before the party reached the safety of their ship. For this exploit Commerell
		and one of the other members of the party, William Thomas Rickard, were awarded the
		Victoria Cross.
		Commerell unsuccessfully contested Southampton in 1880, but was returned in both of the
		general elections in 1885 and 1886. He devoted his time in Parliament promoting the
		necessity of strengthening the Navy. When he was appointed commander-in-chief at
		Portsmouth in 1888 he resigned his seat. He was promoted to Admiral of the Fleet in
		February 1892.
