The following biography of Barbara Palmer
appeared in the July 1968 issue of the Australian |
|
|
|
monthly magazine "Parade":- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'King Charles II of England was deeply in love
with his mistress, the beautiful Barbara Palmer. Yet |
|
|
|
that did not stop him showering his favours on
other charmers who happened to catch his eye. |
|
|
|
For instance there was the serving maid of
Queen Catherine (his wife), the actress Nell Gwyn, |
|
|
|
the dancer Moll Davis and the more youthful
members of the notorious brothels in Nightingale |
|
|
|
Lane. Although the Queen Consort accepted her
husband's infidelities philosophically, Barbara, |
|
|
|
inflamed with jealousy, decided to bring the
philanderer to heel. Her plan was simple - she took |
|
|
|
a lover herself, a man described as having the
"face of an African lemur, a hideously large head |
|
|
|
and wobbly little pipe-stem legs." When
news of this incongruous love affair reached Charles he |
|
|
|
flew into a rage and then (as she had expected)
settled down to win back the love of the |
|
|
|
|
fascinating wanton whose charms he could not
resist. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Such
incidents were part and parcel of the stormy yet enduring love match between
the |
|
|
|
|
insatiable Charles and his equally insatiable
mistress. If it was not Charles who was being |
|
|
|
|
unfaithful
to the woman he was to create Duchess of Cleveland, it was Barbara who
was |
|
|
|
|
cavorting with young bucks of the court who
were willing to risk their necks for her love. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

'Barbara Palmer, Duchess of Cleveland, Countess
of Castlemaine and Southampton, and Baroness |
|
|
|
Nonsuch and perhaps the most sensational woman
of her age, was born in 1640, the daughter |
|
|
|
of William Villiers, Viscount Grandison. She
was still a child when her father lost his life and |
|
|
|
|
fortune fighting for the Royalists during the
Cromwellian Civil war, and she was only 14 when |
|
|
|
she begged the Earl of Chesterfield to elope
with her. Chesterfield would probably have agreed |
|
|
|
to this request from the lovely Barbara had not
Cromwell imprisoned him in the Tower for |
|
|
|
|
political crimes. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In April 1659 the now exquisitively beautiful
girl was on the verge of despair. She was without |
|
|
|
funds and faced starvation. And that was when
she met and married Roger Palmer, a rich |
|
|
|
|
merchant's son. Just a year later Mrs. Palmer
learned that Chesterfield had been released |
|
|
|
|
from the Tower and had fled to Holland to join
the exiled King Charles. Deciding the Earl would |
|
|
|
make a better lover than her husband, she
persuaded Palmer to take her to Holland on the |
|
|
|
|
pretext they could enjoy a second honeymoon. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A few weeks later Chesterfield's eyes fell on
the dazzlingly lovely girl he had not seen since |
|
|
|
her childhood days - and so did Charles's. The
result was that within a few days of that meeting |
|
|
|
members
of the King's court in exile accepted the fact that Mrs. Palmer was the
exclusive |
|
|
|
|
property of the monarch. Chesterfield was
delighted he was able to bring such happiness to his |
|
|
|
adored King, while Palmer was so over-awed by
his wife's sudden rise in the social scale that |
|
|
|
he made no objection, although he fumed inwardly. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In 1660 came the news from England - the
people wanted Charles back on the throne. When he |
|
|
|
arrived in London on May 29, 1660, one of the
first to greet him was the pregnant Barbara Palmer. |
|
|
|
Although some historians attribute the
paternity of Mrs. Palmer's first child, Anne, to the King, |
|
|
|
others claim that the father was the Earl of
Chesterfield. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Nevertheless, Charles accepted his mistress's
word that the expected baby was his and, |
|
|
|
|
immediately after the Restoration, entered with
Barbara into an orgy of pleasure-seeking and |
|
|
|
extravagance that shocked the English middle
and lower classes. During royal balls in Whitehall, |
|
|
|
Barbara Palmer invariably sat beside the King
and passionately responded to his embraces in full |
|
|
|
view of the noble
guests. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Following the birth of Barbara's daughter in
February 1661, Roger Palmer began to make trouble. |
|
|
|
The King's advisers suggested that Charles
might for someone to pick a quarrel with his mistress's |
|
|
|
husband
and then run him through with a sword. But the King had a better plan. He
created |
|
|
|
Palmer
Earl of Castlemaine, a title that carried large estates in Ireland. And as
these estates |
|
|
|
required constant supervision the new Earl
would be tied up in Ireland, leaving his countess to |
|
|
|
continue her royal social activities in London. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Then, with Barbara Palmer already dreaming of
the day when one of her children would sit on |
|
|
|
England's throne, a marriage contract was
signed between Charles and the Portuguese princess, |
|
|
|
Catherine of Braganza. It was no love match,
but rather a political expedient by which England, |
|
|
|
apart from other privileges, secured Tangier
and Bombay. Almost immediately after the couple |
|
|
|
were married in England in May 1662, Catherine
was pushed into the background away from the |
|
|
|
debaucheries
of the court and Barbara was appointed the Queen Consort's Lady of the |
|
|
|
|
Bedchamber. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Later,
although Catherine remained barren, Barbara bore the King a son who was
christened |
|
|
|
Charles Palmer. The advent of this child so
delighted the monarch that he insisted his mistress |
|
|
|
should sit in the royal coach with him when he
rode through the streets of London. Nevertheless, |
|
|
|
if Barbara, Countess of Castlemaine, gave all
her attention to pleasing her lover she insisted on |
|
|
|
being repaid for her efforts. Charles gave her
a yearly allowance of about £100,000 in addition to |
|
|
|
gifts of almost priceless jewellery. He also
accepted her suggestion that he should pass on to her |
|
|
|
all the presents subjects seeking special
favours pressed on him. Apart from that, she took a cut |
|
|
|
from post office revenue and was allowed to
sell appointments to the army and civil service. But |
|
|
|
if
money deluged into Lady Castlemaine's coffers it poured out just as quickly.
She was an |
|
|
|
obsessive gambler and often lost as much as
£20,000 at a sitting. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Then
the day came when Barbara Palmer decided her lover was philandering
outrageously and |
|
|
|
must be brought to heel. To arouse the King's
jealousy the courtesan chose as a lover an ugly, |
|
|
|
untitled wastrel who hovered unobtrusively on
the court's fringe. Overwhelmed by the advances |
|
|
|
of the lovely Lady Castlemaine, the man, Harry
Jermyn, was soon strutting about the court like a |
|
|
|
peacock boasting of his conquest. When news of
the match between the beauty and the beast |
|
|
|
reached Charles he ordered his mistress to his
private apartments and thundered: "It is not |
|
|
|
consistent with my dignity that a mistress whom
I have honoured with public distinction and who |
|
|
|
receives considerable support from me should
appear chained to the chariot of the most |
|
|
|
|
ridiculous conqueror who ever lived." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Nonetheless
Barbara was determined to continue her affair with Jermyn and arouse Charles
to an |
|
|
|
even greater pitch of jealousy. But the plan
collapsed when the ugly little courtier, realising his |
|
|
|
danger, fled to Scotland. Now the royal
mistress decided to use the same strategy to draw |
|
|
|
Charles from the arms of Nell Gwyn. This time
she chose as her lover a huge, muscled-bound |
|
|
|
tightrope-walker, Jacob Hall. But if he was
physically unattractive his love-making was so expert |
|
|
|
that Lady Castlemaine found herself falling in
love with him. Barbara Palmer had not bargained |
|
|
|
for such an eventuality. Nor did she appreciate
the bawdy jokes about her and the tightrope- |
|
|
|
walker that circulated all over London. In the
end she begged Charles to forgive her indiscretion |
|
|
|
and take her back. As usual the King, longing
for her companionship, agreed but stipulated she |
|
|
|
must share him with "that pitiful
strolling actress" Nell Gwyn. Barbara agreed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'All went peacefully enough between the lovers
until one night in 1670 when Charles was told by |
|
|
|
a courtier that his mistress (now the Duchess
of Cleveland) was locked in her rooms with a young |
|
|
|
officer of the Guards, John Churchill. Enraged
by this latest example of infidelity, the King roared |
|
|
|
for his carriage and set off towards the great
mansion in Westminster he had just given to the |
|
|
|
Duchess as a gift. Stepping smartly up the
mansion's elaborately carved staircase, Charles |
|
|
|
|
bounded
up to the bedchamber's door and turned the handle. It was locked. So he
banged on |
|
|
|
the door demanding immediate admission. A full
minute passed before it was opened by the |
|
|
|
gorgeous Duchess, dressed in a nightgown.
Behind her a window lay open admitting the cold |
|
|
|
night air. The King hurried to the window just
in time to see a male figure jump from the ivy |
|
|
|
on the wall and run off into the darkness.
Charles shouted at him: "I know who you are, son. |
|
|
|
But I forgive you. I know you do it for your bread." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
monarch then turned to the trembling Duchess. He cried: "Madame, I hope
to live to see |
|
|
|
you ugly. Then I won't care who you love."
Within a week Lieutenant Churchill, later Duke of |
|
|
|
Marlborough, had been transferred to
disease-ridden Tangier while Charles and his mistress |
|
|
|
|
resumed their interrupted love affair. A year
later her fifth and last child was born. Charles |
|
|
|
|
insisted it was the result of his mistress's
alliance with Churchill, but in the face of her |
|
|
|
|
protestations agreed to acknowledge its paternity. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'As the years passed Barbara Palmer, Duchess of
Cleveland, Baroness Nonsuch and Countess of |
|
|
|
Castlemaine and Southampton, continued dabbling
in a variety of love affairs. Nevertheless, the |
|
|
|
aging Charles accepted her obsession and was
quite ready to take her back when the current |
|
|
|
liaison had
lost its attraction. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In 1685 Charles died, and although the Duchess
had received several fortunes from him during |
|
|
|
his reign, she now had to rely on the
generosity of her dead lover's brother, James II, to maintain |
|
|
|
her standard of living. And even when James
fled the country in 1688 his successor, William of |
|
|
|
Orange, continued to make provision for the
Duchess. Although she was now in her mid 40s she |
|
|
|
was
still beautiful and able to attract wealthy and noble lovers. Sometimes, to
bolster her |
|
|
|
|
income, she turned her mansion into a gambling
saloon and personally attended her guests |
|
|
|
|
while her current lover, the actor Cardonell
Goodman, acted as croupier. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In 1705, the Duchess, long since a widow and
now 64, married Bob Fielding, who, until he |
|
|
|
|
announced he was already married and therefore
not her legal husband, robbed her, abused |
|
|
|
her and even beat her. In a blaze of ridicule
the Duchess of Cleveland sold all her London |
|
|
|
|
possessions and retired friendless to Chiswick.
And there, grotesque with dropsy, she died on |
|
|
|
October 9, 1709.' |

The barony of Clifford created in 1628 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This peerage is one of several created in
error. For similar cases see the notes relating to the |
|
|
|
peerages of Strange and Percy. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
feudal barony of de Clifford, which dates from the reign of Henry II, was
converted into a |
|
|
|
barony by writ in 1299. The peerage then
descended in the male line to George Clifford, 3rd Earl |
|
|
|
of Cumberland,
who died in 1605. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On his death, the peerage of de Clifford was
inherited by his daughter, Anne Herbert, and this |
|
|
|
peerage, notwithstanding it falling into
abeyance on four occasions, continues to be extant to |
|
|
|
the present time. However, when the 3rd Earl of
Cumberland died in 1605, it was mistakenly |
|
|
|
assumed that the barony of de Clifford had also
passed to the 3rd Earl's brother, Francis Clifford, |
|
|
|
4th Earl of Cumberland. His son, Henry
Clifford, was summoned to the House of Lords in February |
|
|
|
1628,
but this writ, instead of being a writ of acceleration of an existing
peerage, actually |
|
|
|
|
created a new peerage. |

Chudleigh |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Like his contemporary, the 4th Earl of Ducie,
William Clifford prior to his succession to the title |
|
|
|
of 10th Baron Clifford of Chudleigh, had spent
many years as a resident of Australia. At the time |
|
|
|
he inherited the title the following article
appeared in the Hobart 'Mercury' on 21 July 1916:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
Hon. William Hugh Clifford, now tenth Baron Clifford of Chudleigh, is a
brother of the |
|
|
|
|
deceased nobleman [i.e. the 9th Baron]. Born on
December 17, 1858, he is now 58 years of age. |
|
|
|
When about 20 years of age he emigrated to New
Zealand, and after 12 years' residence there |
|
|
|
came to Tasmania, where he has lived for the
past 25 years. He took up farming, and for several |
|
|
|
years had a property at Forcett, in the Sorell
district, and later, another at Colebrook [both near |
|
|
|
Hobart]. He had always taken a keen interest in
political matters, and in 1903, at the second |
|
|
|
election for the [Australian] Federal
Parliament, offered himself as a candidate for the Franklin |
|
|
|
electorate of the House of Representatives. He
was defeated by the present member, Mr. |
|
|
|
|
W[illiam] J[ames] McWilliams, and since then,
though retaining his interests in local matters, has |
|
|
|
taken no active part in political life. He has
done some literary work, and a few months ago |
|
|
|
published
"A Forecast for the 20th Century," an essay in which the causes of
war and peace, |
|
|
|
and
the conditions which the author thinks will ensure a lasting settlement of
international |
|

problems, are dealt with at some length. |

|
|
|
|
The 3rd Baron Cloncurry committed suicide on 3
April 1869 by throwing himself from a third-floor |
|
|
|
window
of his house. The following edited report of the subsequent inquest appeared
in the |
|
|
|
Dublin ''Freeman's Journal' of 6 April 1869:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The jury, having viewed the body, the
following evidence was given:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'W.F.Murray, of Lyons, examined - I am a
surgeon, and have been the medical attendant of the |
|
|
|
late
Baron Cloncurry for the last two months; it was in consequence of his being
in an unsound |
|
|
|
state
of mind that I was placed in charge of him; on Saturday, the 3rd of April, I
asked his |
|
|
|
lordship to take a walk; I put on his hat and
coat; he walked about the room, and did not seem |
|
|
|
inclined to go out; in about ten minutes he
went out by himself, and I followed him; I overtook |
|
|
|
him at the corner of the house, as he was going
into the shrubbery; I then asked him to walk |
|
|
|
to the garden, and he agreed; when he got to
the stable-yard he hurriedly walked in, and I lost |
|
|
|
sight of him for a moment; I believed he went
into the house by the back door, and not wishing |
|
|
|
to follow him too closely, I went around to the
hall-door to meet him; on looking into the hall I |
|
|
|
could
not see him; I then supposed that he had gone into the closet, just near the
door he |
|
|
|
entered by; I returned into the stable-yard and
saw two boys looking out of the stable-door; I |
|
|
|
asked them if they had seen his lordship going
out of the passage, and they said he gone in; I |
|
|
|
then
went round and entered the house by the hall-door, and was in the act of
taking off my |
|
|
|
coat when one of the workmen ran in saying,
"Where are you? He is dead." I then ran out after |
|
|
|
him to where his lordship lay; I found him
lying on the grass supported by some of the servants, |
|
|
|
his head towards the window; I examined him,
and found he was alive, but speechless and |
|
|
|
|
insensible, and in a state of collapse; I had
him removed into the house, and he lived for about |
|
|
|
two hours and a half; I examined the body since
death; there were no bones broken; I attribute |
|
|
|
the death to the shock to the system from
falling from such a height, and from internal |
|
|
|
|
haemorrhage; for the last three weeks there was
a second person in charge of him; on two |
|
|
|
occasions I saw indications of a desire to
destroy himself - one was when he wanted a rifle from |
|
|
|
the gamekeeper, and another when he took
up a gun and loaded it; his revolvers
were removed, |
|
|
|
and
the windows of his room were nailed down by order of Dr. Banks; the guns were
all removed |
|
|
|
out of his reach after the occurrence of his
loading the gun.' |
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Further
evidence was given by one of Lord Cloncurry's labourers, who witnessed
Cloncurry |
|
|
|
throwing himself from the window, and by the
consulting physician to the Richmond Lunatic |
|
|
|
Asylum,
who confirmed that Lord Cloncurry was suffering mental illness. After
retiring for only a |
|
|
|
few minutes, the jury found that Cloncurry had
"met his death by falling from a window on the |
|
|
|
third
storey of Lyons House, on the 3rd day of April, 1869, being at the time of
unsound mind |
|
|
|
and unaccountable for his acts." |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Clonmell was accused of making his fortune by
unorthodox methods. He was suspected of |
|
|
|
|
holding land in trust on behalf of Catholics
(who at that time were not allowed to own property) |
|
|
|
and then reneging on the agreements. He, like
most wealthy Irishmen of the time, was an |
|
|
|
|
experienced duellist. At one time or another,
he fought the Lord Chancellor, the Chief Justice |
|
|
|
of the Common Pleas, the Master of the Rolls,
Lord Tyrawley, his predecessor as Chief Justice |
|
|
|
and three privy counsellors. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Clonmell kept a diary in which he recorded many
resolutions, few of which he was able to keep. |
|
|
|
Perhaps the most amusing was one which he made
in 1790, six years after becoming Chief |
|
|
|
|
Justice of Ireland. He resolved to 'seriously
set about learning my profession.' In another |
|
|
|
|
resolution, he had resolved to avoid 'snuff,
sleep, swearing, gross eating, sloth, malt liquors, |
|
|
|
indulgence - and never to take anything after
tea but water.' In spite of these resolutions, he |
|
|
|
became
so obese that he became immobile and at night had to be carried to bed by
his |
|
|
|
|
servants.
Upon his death, the undertaker's men were unable to carry his body down the
stairs |
|
|
|
and
they were forced to lower it from the bedroom window by a system of ropes and
pulleys |
|
|
|
into the waiting hearse. |

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) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Having fought three duels, married a gypsy, and
been wounded in the American War of |
|
|
|
|
Independence, George Hanger retired from the
army at the age of 22 and devoted himself to |
|
|
|
drinking,
racing, gambling and whoring. Not surprisingly, he soon became a boon
companion of |
|
|
|
the Prince of Wales. Like the Prince, Hanger
was a man of fashion, the first person in England |
|
|
|
to wear a satin coat. Apart from his retirement
half-pay, which barely covered his tailor's bill, |
|
|
|
Hanger had two sources of income; gambling and
moneylenders. He would bet on anything and |
|
|
|
once laid a wager on the outcome of a ten-mile
race between twenty geese and twenty |
|
|
|
|
turkeys, losing £500 when the turkeys dropped
out after 3 miles. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In
1798, after fifteen years of living beyond his means, Hanger was made a
prisoner of the |
|
|
|
King's
Bench. He stayed there for 18 months and, unlike those debtors whose wealthy
friends |
|
|
|
contrived
to maintain them in style within their private cells, Hanger experienced the
true |
|
|
|
|
degradation and squalor of life in a debtor's
prison. He later wrote an eloquent condemnation |
|
|
|
of the soul-destroying conditions in such
prisons. When some friends eventually procured his |
|
|
|
release by paying off his debts, this pillar of
the beau monde immediately
embarked on a new |
|
|
|
career. He became a coal merchant. Society was
aghast, and a number of friends offered to |
|
|
|
set him up in a more acceptable line of
business. But Hanger, far from finding his new position |
|
|
|
a humiliation, positively revelled in
embarrassing his fashionable friends by drawing attention |
|
|
|
to his changed circumstances. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hanger sold coal for 14 years. Then, on the
death in 1814 of his brother, George acceded to the |
|
|
|
estates and title of Baron Coleraine. He
despised inherited titles and corrected anyone who used |
|
|
|
his, saying, 'Plain George Hanger if you
please.' This attitude and other unorthodox opinions |
|
|
|
finally put an end to friendly relations with
his old companion, now King George IV. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hanger
was quite genuine about his democratic ideas. As his 14 years as a coal
seller |
|
|
|
|
demonstrated, he had no desire to hold himself
aloof from the lower orders. Shortly after he |
|
|
|
succeeded to the title, the artist J T Smith
witnessed this scene between him and an old |
|
|
|
|
woman
who sold apples in the Portland Road. Hanger saw her packing up her things
in |
|
|
|
|
preparation for her tea break. 'Don't balk
trade', he said, 'Leave your things on the table as they |
|
|
|
are; I will mind your shop till you come back.'
Intrigued, Smith loitered and watched Hanger |
|
|
|
selling apples to passers-by. On the woman's
return, Hanger handed over his takings. 'Well, |
|
|
|
mother,
I have taken threepence half-penny for you. Did your daughter Nancy drink tea
with |
|
|
|
you.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By this time Hanger was quite well known, not
so much for his past exploits as for the |
|
|
|
|
controversial views set forth in his highly
readable autobiography The Life, Adventures and |
|
|
|
Opinions of Col. George Hanger. In it Hanger offers a good deal of advice to women. He
insists |
|
|
|
that they should settle affairs of honour by
duelling amongst themselves, instead of involving |
|
|
|
men.
He recommends, when eloping, leaving through a window, rather than a door.
'It will |
|
|
|
|
impress your lover with a respect for your
heroism, and ever establish you, in his opinion, as a |
|
|
|
woman of true spirit, courage and spunk.' He
applauds the fashion for loose gowns, which he |
|
|
|
says
are 'admirably suited either for a young girl to conceal a big belly, or for
a shop-lifter to |
|
|
|
hide a bale of goods.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
He advised clergymen to supplement their income
by hiring out the blind men in their parishes |
|
|
|
to beggar-women who find that a genuinely
handicapped companion exerts a greater pull on the |
|
|
|
heart-strings and purse-strings of the
contributing public than even a child or a dog. And he |
|
|
|
advocated a tax on Scotsmen who spent more than
six months of the year south of the border. |

Bernard John Seymour Coleridge, 2nd Baron
Coleridge |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 2nd Baron Coleridge succeeded to the title
on 14 June 1894. At that time he was a member |
|
|
|
of the House of Commons for the seat of
Attercliffe in Sheffield. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On 25 June 1894, Coleridge applied to the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir William Harcourt, for |
|
|
|
the Stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds.
Technically, a member of the House of Commons is |
|
|
|
not permitted to resign his or her seat. To get
around this restriction, members apply for the |
|
|
|
position of the Stewardship of the Chiltern
Hundreds or the Manor of Northstead. Both of these |
|
|
|
offices are considered to be offices of profit
under the Crown, and, under the Act of Settlement, |
|
|
|
any member who is appointed to an office of
profit must give up his or her seat. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
appointment was finalised on 26 June 1894, and a new writ issued by a
by-election in the |
|
|
|
seat of Attercliffe. There was no doubt that
the seat of Attercliffe had become vacant, but the |
|
|
|
question
arose as to why it had become so - was it because Coleridge had been
appointed to |
|
|
|
an office of profit on 26 June, or had it
become vacant when Coleridge had succeeded his father |
|
|
|
in the peerage on 14 June? After lengthy
debate, it was agreed that the cause was Coleridge's |
|
|
|
appointment to an office of profit, since he
had not, at that time, received a writ summoning |
|
|
|
him to the House of Lords. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This interpretation was overturned less than a
year later, in a similar case involving the 2nd Earl |
|
|
|
of Selborne (qv). |

Capt.
Edward Davis Atkins, father of Humphrey Edward Gregory Atkins, Baron |
|
|
|
|
Colnbrook [L] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lord Colnbrook's father was a Resident
Magistrate in the United Provinces in India and subsequ- |
|
|
|
ently a coffee planter in Kenya, where he was
trampled to death by a wounded rhinoceros on |
|
|
|
6 March 1925. The following report appeared in
'The Times' of 11 March 1925:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Two persons were killed by a rhinoceros in the
Nanyuki district [of Kenya] on Saturday. The |
|
|
|
first was a Dublin woman, Mrs. Green, who had
completed a walk across Africa from the Belgian |
|
|
|
Congo, and was about to attempt to climb Mount
Kenya [the second highest mountain in Africa, |
|
|
|
after Kilimanjaro]. Mrs. Green, who was
accompanied by one native and armed with a light rifle, |
|
|
|
encountered the rhinoceros between Nanyuki and
Meru. She fired and wounded the animal eight |
|
|
|
times,
but only slightly, and it charged and trampled her. Assistance was
forthcoming from a |
|
|
|
neighbouring farm, but she died shortly after
her removal there. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Later in the day Captain E. D. Atkins, a
soldier settler in Nanyuki, and his wife were motoring |
|
|
|
to Meru when the car stuck in a dry donga
[watercourse or gully]. Suddenly the same rhinoceros |
|
|
|
charged them from the bush. They were unarmed,
and Captain Atkins told his wife to leave the |
|
|
|
car and run for her life. Meanwhile, he
attempted to divert the charging rhinoceros with his coat, |
|
|
|
but was trampled to death. Mrs. Atkins escaped
and secured help, and the animal was shot later.' |
