Thomas North Graves, 2nd Baron Graves |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lord Graves died by his own hand on 7 February
1830. The first report below is from the |
|
|
|
|
"Caledonian Mercury" of 13 February 1830:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'At eleven o'clock on Monday morning, an
inquisition was taken before J.H.Gell, Esq., and a |
|
|
|
highly respectable Jury, at the Mason's Arms,
Maddox Street, Hanover Square, on view of the |
|
|
|
body of the Right Hon. Thomas North, Lord
Graves, aged 54. The following was the substance |
|
|
|
of the evidence:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'John Spry stated, that he had been travelling
servant to his Lordship for nearly four years; he |
|
|
|
was not aware that he had been afflicted with
any bodily complaint for the last six months; |
|
|
|
about a year ago he was laid up with rheumatic
fever. Last Saturday his Lordship, who was |
|
|
|
one of the Commissioners of Excise, went to the
office on business, and returned about four |
|
|
|
o'clock; after this, he dined in Belgrave
Square, at Sir George Murray's, and returned home at |
|
|
|
eleven o'clock, and soon after went to bed; he
was in very low spirits when he went out. |
|
|
|
|
Witness sat by his bedside until about two
o'clock in the morning; he had usually done so for |
|
|
|
some time past, on account of his Lordship being
quite a cripple from the rheumatism, although |
|
|
|
he has of late been fast recovering. It was his
Lordship's wish that he sat up with him until he |
|
|
|
fell asleep, as he did not like to be left
alone. He could not tell the reason why. Yesterday |
|
|
|
morning he went into his Lordship's room about
eight o'clock, and found him asleep. He went in |
|
|
|
again soon after ten o'clock, and found him
dressing. He breakfasted about twelve o'clock, and |
|
|
|
soon afterwards Sir James Anderson came in, who
attended his Lordship. Witness went out to |
|
|
|
get some medicine ordered, and returned between
three and four, and asked his Lordship for a |
|
|
|
parcel which he had told him to send to Lady
Graves, at Hampton Court. The parcel was given |
|
|
|
to him; it contained a letter from his Lordship
to her, and he took it to the coach office in |
|
|
|
Piccadilly. Witness returned, and put out his
Lordship's things to dress, as he was going to |
|
|
|
dine at the Marquis of Anglesey's. His Lordship
told him to order a coach at a quarter before |
|
|
|
seven o'clock. He went out for that purpose, and
on his return, after cleaning his Lordship's |
|
|
|
shoes, took them into his room; the door was not
locked; he did not see his Lordship, but |
|
|
|
|
observed the looking glass standing on the table
covered with blood, and two candles burning |
|
|
|
in front of the glass. Witness called for
assistance, and his Lordship was found on the floor |
|
|
|
of the room, close under the dressing case, with
his throat cut from ear to ear, and two razors |
|
|
|
lying beside him. Medical assistance soon
arrived, but his Lordship was quite dead. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'By the Jury - I have latterly observed his
Lordship to labour under a depression of spirits. I |
|
|
|
have no doubt but that he cut his throat while
labouring under a depression of spirits. I cannot |
|
|
|
upon my oath take upon myself to state what was
the cause that produced the depression |
|
|
|
of spirits. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir James Anderson stated, that he had attended
his Lordship professionally. It was his opinion |
|
|
|
that his Lordship's state of mind was greatly
depressed, arising both from bodily disease and |
|
|
|
mental excitement, and, in one of those paroxyms
of excitement, he had no doubt committed |
|
|
|
the dreadful act. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'By the Jury - It is no uncommon thing for a
person to be excited to the extent Lord Graves |
|
|
|
was to be sufficiently sound in mind one minute
and the next to be entirely lost, so as to |
|
|
|
|
commit suicide, particularly when the instrument
was in the room. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Coroner briefly addressed the Jury, who
returned a verdict that the deceased cut his |
|
|
|
throat in a fit of delirium.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The above report is fine, as far as it goes.
However, it makes no attempt to address the reason |
|
|
|
for Lord Graves' depression. This is not to say
that no attempt was made - the jury did try to |
|
|
|
ascertain the background to Lord Graves'
depression, but was somewhat frustrated in its |
|
|
|
|
attempt by the Coroner, as is illustrated in the
following extract from the "Sun," which was |
|
|
|
reprinted in the "Caledonian Mercury"
on the same day as the report given above:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In addition to the slovenly and hasty manner in
which the late Inquest on the unfortunate Lord |
|
|
|
Graves was conducted - a haste the motives for
which we can more readily comprehend than |
|
|
|
excuse - we cannot but express our astonishment
at the conduct of the Coroner, who at the |
|
|
|
very moment when the evidence began to assume an
intelligible shape, and to throw light on |
|
|
|
the cause that induced the deplorable
catastrophe, was so far from farthering, that he actually |
|
|
|
attempted to prevent the elucidation of the
necessary facts. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Coroner - You have no doubt, I presume, that
his Lordship committed suicide, while labouring |
|
|
|
under depression of spirits? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Witness - I have no doubt that his Lordship cut
his throat in a fit of great depression of spirits, |
|
|
|
not knowing what he was about. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Juror - But can you inform us what has caused
that depression of spirits under which his |
|
|
|
|
Lordship laboured? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The question seemed to excite the greatest
interest among the Jury. All eyes were turned |
|
|
|
towards the witness; but before he could make
the reply, the Coroner interposed, and said, |
|
|
|
he did not consider it necessary to put such a
question to the witness. They had assembled |
|
|
|
to inquire whether Lord Graves died from
violence inflicted by himself or by any other person, |
|
|
|
and in what state of mind he was at the time -
whether insane or otherwise. It was in |
|
|
|
|
evidence that his Lordship had laboured under
great depression of spirits, and it was therefore |
|
|
|
probable that he committed the rash act while
labouring under temporary insanity. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Juror - But, Sir, I consider that we shall not
discharge our duty unless we inquire into the cause |
|
|
|
of that depression of spirits under which his
Lordship is said to have laboured. According to the |
|
|
|
oath that you administer to us, are we not bound
to investigate all the circumstances? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Coroner - No, Gentleman; I do not consider it a
part of your duty to make inquiry upon that |
|
|
|
point to which allusion has been made. The oath
that I administer to you, and which is the |
|
|
|
same that is administered to Jurors upon all
similar occasions, is, that "you shall diligently |
|
|
|
inquire, and true presentment make, on behalf of
our Sovereign Lord the King, how and in what |
|
|
|
manner Lord Graves came by his death - and true
verdict, according to the evidence - so help |
|
|
|
you God." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Juror, however, contended that he was
justified in putting the question, and pressed for |
|
|
|
the answer. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Coroner said that he would raise no further
objection to the question. The witness might, |
|
|
|
if he pleased, give the answer. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The question having been put, the witness said,
"I cannot, upon my oath, take upon myself |
|
|
|
to state what was the cause which produced that
depression of spirits under which his Lordship |
|
|
|
laboured." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'It appears by the above minutes, if correct,
that every exertion was used to strangle the very |
|
|
|
evidence that was most essential to a right
understanding of the case, and that those exertions |
|
|
|
were not desisted from till and intelligent and
perservering Juryman had pressed for the |
|
|
|
|
necessary facts. The inquest altogether appears
to have been a smuggled affair, and ought (as |
|
|
|
it would have been in every other case) to have
been adjourned till better evidence could be |
|
|
|
procured. In fact, the inquisition should be
held over again. At present a dreadful and suspicious |
|
|
|
mystery hangs over the case.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also reprinted in the same issue of the
"Caledonian Mercury" is the following [edited] article |
|
|
|
from the "Star." The florid language
used is, in hindsight, quite amusing when viewed in terms |
|
|
|
of today's style of writing, but it is typical
of the time. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'We know not when the public feelings have been
harrowed by the contemplation of so |
|
|
|
|
distressing a tragedy - Deep, dreadful and
complicate[d] are the circumstances connected with |
|
|
|
it; yet - if we forebear to expose those
circumstances now - be it not imagined that it is for |
|
|
|
want of a clue to guide us in this dark
labyrinth of palatial perpetration. No: respect for One, of |
|
|
|
whose feelings, even allegiance would command us to be tender, shall for the present set
a |
|
|
|
seal upon our lips. For his sake, we will withhold our curses - for his sake, repress the |
|
|
|
|
smouldering fires of that indignant denunciation
which we would send forth in quest of the |
|
|
|
lurking criminal, and which should post after
him - whithersoever he fled - like the ban of |
|
|
|
|
heaven, into the obscurest recesses of the land. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The blood which was shed on Sunday - aye, and more blood - would we
conjure up to bear |
|
|
|
witness against him; the wail of destroyed
families should make demon music in his ears……. |
|
|
|
But we have set a seal upon our lips. Woe unto
him when the day comes for the opening of |
|
|
|
that seal - for it will
be one of terrible revelation. Surely the hand of God is upon this corrupted |
|
|
|
country, when those who are its most exalted in
station are become also its most exalted in |
|
|
|
vice and crime………….' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is not too difficult to work out exactly whom
the "Star" was talking about. The references to |
|
|
|
'palatial perpetration' and 'most exalted in
station' were almost certainly aimed at the Duke of |
|
|
|
Cumberland and Teviotdale, younger brother of
King George IV, and later, from 1837, King of |
|
|
|
Hanover. Lord Graves had been Cumberland's Lord
of the Bedchamber and Comptroller of the |
|
|
|
Duke's Household. It was widely rumoured that
the Duke was in a liaison with Lord Graves' |
|
|
|
wife, the former Lady Mary Paget, and that Lord
Graves had committed suicide as a result of |
|
|
|
this alleged liaison. For further information
about the Duke of Cumberland and Teviotdale, see |
|
|
|
the note at the foot of the page which contains
details of his peerage. |

Eveleen Smith-Gray, Baroness Gray in her own
right (19th holder of the title) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On 7 July 1896, the House of Lords Committee of
Privileges met to hear the claim of Mrs. |
|
|
|
|
Eveleen Smith to the Scottish barony of Gray. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As is common with older Scottish peerages, the
honours can, and often do, descend in the |
|
|
|
female line - that is, the descent of the
peerage is not limited to male heirs. Both the 16th and |
|
|
|
17th holders of the title had been females. On
the death of Lady Grey, the 17th holder of the |
|
|
|
title, the next heir to the barony was the 14th
Earl of Moray, who was descended from Jane |
|
|
|
Gray, daughter of the 11th Lord Gray, who had
married the 9th Earl of Moray. Their son |
|
|
|
|
became the 10th Earl of Moray - he married
twice, the two marriages producing four sons and |
|
|
|
a daughter. Remarkably, none of the four sons
ever married and, as a result, the four sons |
|
|
|
succeeded each other in turn as the 11th, 12th,
13th and 14th Earls of Moray. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On the death of the 14th Earl in 1895, the line
of descent reverted to the descendants of the |
|
|
|
daughter of the 10th Earl of Moray, referred to
above. Her name was Lady Jane Stuart, who |
|
|
|
appears to have been somewhat eccentric, and it
was her daughter who petitioned the House |
|
|
|
of Lords Committee of Privileges for the Gray
peerage. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
According to evidence given before the
Committee, the claimant's mother, Lady Jane Stuart, |
|
|
|
married firstly, in 1832, Sir John Archibald
Drummond Stewart, who died in May 1838. No children |
|
|
|
were born from this marriage. She married for a
second time, in August 1838, a Dr. Jeremiah |
|
|
|
Lonsdale Pounden. One version of events is that,
when this marriage took place, the couple |
|
|
|
neglected to go through the formality of the
publication of the marriage banns and also |
|
|
|
|
appeared to fail to give their full names to the
Registrar - both of these omissions being |
|
|
|
|
sufficient to invalidate the marriage. In
September 1840, knowing that she was pregnant and of |
|
|
|
the doubts surrounding the legality of the 1838
marriage, she went through another marriage |
|
|
|
ceremony, this time being careful to fulfil all
of the necessary formalities. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the second marriage, the couple moved to
Dresden in Germany, where a daughter, |
|
|
|
|
Eveleen, was born on 3 May 1841. Apparently,
Lady Jane once more neglected the formalities |
|
|
|
with the result that Eveleen's birth was never
registered either by the authorities in Dresden, |
|
|
|
or by the British Consul who was resident there.
Lady Jane also appeared to have had some |
|
|
|
peculiar views relating to baptism, with the
result that Eveleen was not baptised for many years |
|
|
|
after - one report says that she was not
baptised until the evening before her own marriage in |
|
|
|
1863. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All of this meant that no documentary evidence
existed which proved the birth of Eveleen - no |
|
|
|
birth certificate and no contemporary
certificate of baptism. However, numerous other |
|
|
|
|
documents, including the marriage certificate
from the 1840 ceremony, were tendered in |
|
|
|
|
evidence and the Committee decided that, since
there were no other claimants and that no |
|
|
|
estates were in dispute, the claimant's petition
be granted, and thus Eveleen became Lady |
|
|
|
Gray. |

Francis George North, styled Lord North, son of
the 8th Earl of Guilford (15 June 1902- |
|
|
|
25 August 1940) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lord North, together with his sister Cynthia, is
shown in 'Burke's Peerage' as having been killed |
|
|
|
in an accident on 25 August 1940. This accident
occurred when he was walking in a prohibited |
|
|
|
area - the reason the particular area was
prohibited is that it was sown with land-mines as a |
|
|
|
defence against a possible German invasion
during WWII. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following report appeared in the 'Manchester
Guardian' of 28 August 1940:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Death by misadventure was the verdict recorded
at the inquest on Lord North and his sister |
|
|
|
Lady Cynthia Williams, killed by a land-mine
when walking on Sunday morning. Lady North, who |
|
|
|
was with them, was seriously injured. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The accident occurred in a prohibited area. A
police constable said that on going to the scene |
|
|
|
of a loud explosion he saw Lady North stepping
over some barbed wire. All she could say was, |
|
|
|
"Lord North and Lady Cynthia are down
there. Are they all right?" Police and military made a |
|
|
|
search of the spot, but all they could find were
remnants of clothing which it was known that |
|
|
|
Lord North and his sister were wearing at the
time, and it was by these that their identity was |

established. There was a series of large craters
where the mishap occurred. |

'The Coroner said that while some might think
that a strong notice of warning should be |
|
|
|
|
exhibited in places of danger any interference
with the defences was highly dangerous. The |
|
|
|
public should know that they must not go beyond
them. |

'From the military evidence it was learned that
at least 700 sentries would be wanted to |
|
|
|
|
safeguard the particular area in which the
tragedy occurred.' |
