Some anecdotes regarding the peerage of Howth |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The title of Howth is pronounced so as to rhyme
with "both." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There
are various stories which explain the origin of the surname of St. Lawrence.
One story |
|
|
|
has it that the founder of the family was Sir
Amory (or Almeric) Tristram, who received a grant |
|
|
|
from King Henry II around the year 1177 which
gave him title to all such lands as he could |
|
|
|
conquer from the native Irish. According to
this story, Sir Amory married the sister of his |
|
|
|
|
brother-in-arms,
the Sieur de Courcy, on St. Lawrence's Day and thereafter adopted the |
|
|
|
surname of St. Lawrence. In another version of
the story, Sir Amory sailed from Normandy |
|
|
|
with Sir John de Courcy and fought against the
Irish at the Bridge of Evora on 10 August, the |
|
|
|
feast-day of St. Lawrence. Having achieved
victory, he changed his family's surname to |
|
|
|
|
commemorate the event. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Another tradition is that the gates of Howth
Castle are solemnly shut, and then immediately |
|
|
|
re-opened, at the dinner hour. This tradition
dates back to 1576, when a celebrated Irish |
|
|
|
|
female adventuress and pirate queen, Grace
O'Malley (c 1530-c 1603) attempted to pay a |
|
|
|
courtesy visit to Howth Castle. She was
informed that the family were at dinner, and the gates |
|
|
|
were shut against her. Enraged, she abducted
Lord Howth's son and only agreed to release him |
|
|
|
when Lord Howth promised to keep the gates open
for unexpected visitors and to set an extra |
|
|
|
place at every meal, an agreement which is
still honoured to this day. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is also a charming ghost story connected
with Howth Castle. According to the tale, a |
|
|
|
ghost or banshee haunts the Long Gallery in the
castle. Legend has it that the ghost is that |
|
|
|
of a Lady Howth who lived in the thirteenth
century, who, according to tradition, had been |
|
|
|
washed ashore from a wreck at Howth, and,
having been with great difficulty restored to |
|
|
|
|
consciousness at the castle, so excited the
admiration of the then owner of the castle that he |
|
|
|
married her. No one knew where she came from or
what her nationality was, and she spoke |
|
|
|
a language that no-one could understand. In
time, however, she learned to communicate |
|
|
|
|
with her husband and the marriage was reported
to be very happy. The only condition to the |
|
|
|
marriage was that, for one month every year,
she be allowed to visit her people and that |
|
|
|
|
no-one would attempt to follow her or to make
any attempt to find out where she had gone. |
|
|
|
However, whenever she was absent, a white rat
would make its appearance, and soon became |
|
|
|
a great favourite; but as soon as the lady
returned, the rat would disappear. One year, when |
|
|
|
the lady was away and the rat had re-appeared,
an English visitor who was ignorant of the |
|
|
|
fondness of the lord for the rodent, caught
sight of the rat and inflicted a mortal wound upon |
|
|
|
it with his sword. The rat made it as far as
the Long Gallery before dying. Moments later, a |
|
|
|
wild shriek rang through the castle, and Lady
Howth was found dying in the Long Gallery from |
|
|
|
a sword wound. Ever since that time, during the
period each year when the lady usually went |
|
|
|
away, the Long Gallery was been haunted by the
figure of a beautiful woman, dressed in the |
|
|
|
fashion of the thirteenth century, and followed
by a white rat. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A further story relates that there was a large
and ancient yew tree which grew in the courtyard |
|
|
|
of
Howth Castle. It was believed that, whenever a branch was broken from the
trunk of this |
|
|
|
tree, the death of the current Lord Howth would
shortly follow. Apparently, the tree itself died |
|
|
|
just prior to the death of the last Earl of
Howth, upon which event the peerages became |
|
|
|
|
extinct. |

Lady Selina Hastings [24 August 1707-17 June
1791], wife of the 9th Earl of Huntingdon |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Countess of Huntingdon was a religious
leader who played a prominent role in the rise of |
|
|
|
the Methodist Church in the 18th century. The
following biography appeared in the January |
|
|
|
1964 issue of the Australian monthly magazine
"Parade":- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In
1739 the Countess of Huntingdon began taking notice of a religious revival,
sparked by a |
|
|
|
clergyman named John Wesley, which was sweeping
England. Its fervour was unprecedented. |
|
|
|
Preachers went through England calling on the
people to aid them in their campaign to infuse |
|
|
|
new life and spiritual energy into the Church
of England. The crusaders invaded fields, village |
|
|
|
greens and roadways gaining new converts by the
thousand. When the countess heard one of |
|
|
|
these fervent, eloquent men she joined their
campaign. So began the lifelong work of Selina, |
|
|
|
Countess
of Huntingdon, in the religious revival which resulted in the foundation of
the |
|
|
|
|
Methodist Church. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'It has been said that in her time the Countess
of Huntingdon was "as conspicuous a torch- |
|
|
|
bearer for the revival as John Wesley
himself." While Wesley and other preachers were |
|
|
|
|
evangelists among the poor and humble, Lady
Huntingdon set about the infinitely more arduous |
|
|
|
mission of "bringing the dissolute upper
classes to salvation." She poured out her fortune |
|
|
|
|
building 64 chapels and setting up a school for
Methodist ministers in a 500-year-old castle at |
|
|
|
Trevecca in Wales. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Countess of Huntingdon was born Lady
Selina Shirley, at Staunton Harold, near Ashby-de- |
|
|
|
la-Zouch, in Leicestershire, in 1707. She was
the second daughter of the second Earl Ferrers. |
|
|
|
A pious girl, she was repelled by the frivolity
and folly of the fashionable world of the day and |
|
|
|
constantly
prayed that she would marry into "a serious family." Her prayers
were answered |
|
|
|
when
at 20 she married Theophilus Hastings, ninth Earl of Huntingdon. Although no
ascetic, |
|
|
|
Huntingdon
was conspicuous for his temperance in a profligate age. The couple took
up |
|
|
|
|
residence
at the earl's seat, Donington Park, in Leicestershire, and the countess bore
six |
|
|
|
|
children. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Passionately interested in public affairs,
Lady Huntingdon first attracted attention in 1738 after |
|
|
|
the House of Lords had unanimously resolved
that, during a certain debate, no women would be |
|
|
|
admitted
to the chamber. The countess immediately rounded up a squad of aristocratic
ladies |
|
|
|
and on the day of the debate stormed the House
of Lords. They created such a din outside the |
|
|
|
doors that members could hardly hear themselves
speak. All efforts to remove or silence them |
|
|
|
were futile. Nevertheless, the ladies had not
gained admission, so the countess ordered a |
|
|
|
change
of tactics. They subsided into sudden quiet. Half an hour passed and the
Lord |
|
|
|
|
Chancellor
assumed the enemy had withdrawn. He ordered the doors opened. At that
the |
|
|
|
countess and her followers poured in. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The following year Lady Huntingdon plunged
into promoting the religious revival spearheaded by |
|
|
|
John Wesley, at the same time making herself a
target for ridicule in aristocratic circles. At the |
|
|
|
time
atheism was fashionable and sexual morality in high places perhaps worse than
at any |
|
|
|
other
time in English history. In addition people of rank were so convinced of
their superiority by |
|
|
|
birth
that the teachings of Wesley and the Methodists were regarded as offensive to
natural |
|
|
|
law. Trying to show the Countess of Huntingdon
she was making a mistake in linking herself with |
|
|
|
Wesley
and his followers, the Duchess of Buckingham wrote to her - "It is
monstrous to be told |
|
|
|
that you have a heart as sinful as the common
wretches that crawl on the earth. This is highly |
|
|
|
offensive and insulting and I cannot but wonder
why your Ladyship should relish sentiments so |
|
|
|
much at variance with high rank and good
breeding." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Even
the countess's husband did not favour her conversion to Methodism. He called
in the |
|
|
|
He called in the Bishop of Gloucester [Martin
Benson 1689-1752] to reason with her, for, as he |
|
|
|
put
it, her "religious enthusiasm could be socially embarrassing." But
the bishop's arguments had |
|
|
|
no effect on the countess, who was astounding
everyone by openly proclaiming herself a sinner. |
|
|
|
Soon
afterwards she appointed the Reverend John [sic - George] Whitefield
[1714-1770], one |
|
|
|
of
the finest open-air preachers of the day, as her first personal chaplain and
accompanied him |
|
|
|
on
his evangelical tours. At one meeting in Yorkshire as Whitefield thundered
denunciations of |
|
|
|
the
sinners present, two men dropped dead with terror. Writing of the incident to
her husband, |
|
|
|
the
countess said: "In deathly silence this great preacher proceeded, with
the dead bodies |
|
|
|
lying before him, to warn the stricken
gathering of the wrath to come." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Wherever
Whitefield and Lady Huntingdon held their meetings, it has been said,
"scoffers |
|
|
|
stayed listening until their hair rose on their
heads and they found themselves on their knees at |
|
|
|
last,
weeping and groaning." But not all the listeners were converted. Often
Whitefield and the |
|
|
|
countess
were pelted with eggs. The countess herself was reputed to have the ability
to |
|
|
|
"frighten sinners half out of their
wits." She paid a visit to a hovel occupied by a soldier's wife |
|
|
|
who lay dying after the birth of twins. So
forcefully did her Ladyship describe her awful state |
|
|
|
and the imminent danger of her soul if she died
unpardoned, wrote one biographer, "that the |
|
|
|
poor woman burst into a flood of tears and
began to beg forgiveness." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'But Lady Huntingdon had her own sorrows. All
but two of her children died in infancy. In 1746 |
|
|
|
two
of her sons died of smallpox and her husband succumbed to apoplexy after what
a |
|
|
|
|
contemporary described as a "particularly
unnerving dream." Widowed at 39, Lady Huntingdon |
|
|
|
dedicated her great fortune and her energy to
the conversion of the English aristocracy. |
|
|
|
|
In her new house in Chelsea, Whitefield and
other famous preachers such as Isaac Watts |
|
|
|
|
[1674-1748], Philip Doddridge [1702-1751] and
A[ugustus] M[ontague] Toplady [1740-1778] |
|
|
|
tried to convey the spirit of the ever-growing
religious revival to select and influential |
|
|
|
|
audiences. Even well-known atheists such as
Lord Bolingbroke, Lord Chesterfield and Horace |
|
|
|
Walpole attended
the meetings. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'When the Church of England began expelling
clergymen who advocated Methodism, the |
|
|
|
|
Countess of Huntingdon provided them with
chapels so that they could continue preaching. |
|
|
|
She gave up her carriage and sold her jewels to
buy theatres and halls which were converted |
|
|
|
into
Methodist chapels and most of her income went in living expenses for her
scores of |
|
|
|
|
personal chaplains. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In her zeal, the countess even went to the
extreme of rebuking the Archbishop of Canterbury, |
|
|
|
Dr. Cornwallis, after he had given several
large balls and parties at Lambeth Palace.
Jealous of |
|
|
|
the
reputation of the church to which she still belonged, she presented herself
at Lambeth |
|
|
|
Palace and denounced the archbishop. She
claimed later that she had remonstrated with the |
|
|
|
Archbishop with the greatest delicacy, but his
reply was that he had been "grossly affronted." |
|
|
|
Dr. Cornwallis not only refused to put a ban on
future entertainments but he allowed his wife |
|
|
|
to make public statements ridiculing the
"Queen of the Methodists" and her work. The Countess |
|
|
|
retaliated by seeking a private audience with
George III and Queen Charlotte at Kew. George |
|
|
|
III listened attentively to her complaints,
agreed with her disapproval of the Archbishop's |
|
|
|
|
behaviour and promised some action in
"reforming such indecent practices." A few days later |
|
|
|
the
Archbishop of Canterbury received a letter from the monarch sharply
criticising his |
|
|
|
|
"improprieties." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'It was inevitable that the Methodists would
break from the Church of England. In the case of |
|
|
|
the
Countess of Huntingdon the situation came to a head in 1779 when she clashed
with the |
|
|
|
Rev. William Sellon, curate of the Clerkenwell
parish of St. James. In the parish was a large, |
|
|
|
circular building called the Pantheon,
originally built for theatrical purposes, but now in disuse. |
|
|
|
The countess bought it, changed its name to the
Spa Fields Chapel, and installed one of her |
|
|
|
chaplains. The Rev. Sellon objected on the
ground that no one had any right to preach in his |
|
|
|
parish without his permission. The matter was
taken to the ecclesiastical courts and Sellon |
|
|
|
won his case. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'It was held that not only Spa Fields Chapel,
but all such establishments conducted by the |
|
|
|
Countess of Huntingdon were subject to the laws
of the Church of England while they remained |
|
|
|
within it. The only alternative to closing her
chapels was to secede from the Church of England. |
|
|
|
So
she broke away, forming with her followers a separate non-conformist sect
known as the |
|
|
|
Countess of Huntingdon's Connection. [The sect
still exists in England, and, strangely, Sierra |
|
|
|
Leone]. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
countess lived on in active control of her sect until her death in 1791 at
the age of 84. |
|
|
|
When
she died the sect was in the midst of new and ambitious projects - conversion
of the |
|
|
|
Jews, the dispatch of a mission to Tahiti,
establishment of chapels in the United States and |
|
|
|
the purchase of a female slave in the West
Indies, who would be brought to England and |
|
|
|
|
christened Selina. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
greatest disappointment in the countess's life was her failure to convert her
first cousin |
|
|
|
and
her father's heir, the fourth Earl Ferrers. Ferrers was tried for murder and
hanged at Tyburn |
|
|
|
in 1760 - the last nobleman in England to
suffer a felon's death. Selina visited him daily in the |
|
|
|
Tower
of London while he awaited execution and pleaded with him "to repent and
be saved." |
|
|
|
Finally he refused to see her. Ferrers had
reason for this action. He had learned that she had |
|
|
|
persuaded the governor of the Tower not to
allow him to say farewell to his mistress, who was |
|
|
|
the
mother of his four children. The earl's grief at this was conceivably greater
than the |
|
|
|
|
Countess of Huntingdon's wrath at his refusal
to see things her way.' |

The following article, written by Dalrymple
Belgrave, is taken from a series entitled "Romances |
|
|
|
of High Life" published in the 'Manchester
Times' in 1898:- |
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Wars of the Roses, which left many an old
knightly name a mere shadow of the past, did |
|
|
|
much for the House of Hastings. Sir William
Hastings, afterwards Lord Hastings, who was Edward |
|
|
|
IV's
faithful follower, young Prince Edward of Lancaster's murderer, and Jane
Shore's lover, |
|
|
|
became so great a man as to be the object of
the treacherous jealousy of Richard III, who |
|
|
|
trumped up a charge of witchcraft and treason
against him, and hurried him from the Council |
|
|
|
Chamber to the Tower to be executed. Though
William, Lord Hastings, was attainted, Richard, |
|
|
|
for some crafty reasons of State, at once,
after his death, reversed the attainder. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'His son came of age to be taken into great
favour by Henry VII. Jealous of most of the noble |
|
|
|
families, whose pedigrees were better than his
own, the Princes of the House of Tudor made an |
|
|
|
exception of the family of Hastings. They
conferred Donington Castle, Leicestershire, on it, and |
|
|
|
in return found its members the most faithful
of servants and followers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The third Lord Hastings was, by Henry VIII,
created the Earl of Huntingdon. His son, the second |
|
|
|
Earl,
married Catherine Pole, daughter of Lord Montacute and granddaughter of
Margaret, |
|
|
|
Countess of Salisbury, the last of the Plantagenets. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Hastings family were supporters of Queen
Mary against the pretensions of Lady Jane Grey. |
|
|
|
They were, however, greatly in favour with
Queen Elizabeth. In the time of the Civil War they |
|
|
|
were staunch Cavaliers. The eighth Earl served
under Marlborough, but died unmarried, and was |
|
|
|
succeeded
by his [half-]brother, Theophilus, who married Lady Selina Shirley, the
Methodist |
|
|
|
Lady
Huntingdon. He had one son and three daughters. One daughter, Lady Elizabeth,
married |
|
|
|
Lord
Rawdon, afterwards created Earl of Moira. Their eldest son was created the
Marquis of |
|
|
|
Hastings. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The ninth Earl had another daughter, Selina,
who died after her marriage had been arranged. |
|
|
|
The intended bridegroom was an officer in the
Army, a "protégé" of Lord Huntingdon's, who |
|
|
|
had neither rank nor fortune, but he could
claim what Lord Huntingdon thought was the best |
|
|
|
blood in England, for he was a Hastings. It was
believed that, failing his lordship's family, this |
|
|
|
young George Hastings' elder brother Edward
would be the next Lord Huntingdon, though his |
|
|
|
family branched away from the parent stem so
far back as the time of the second Earl. But |
|
|
|
the bride died on the day she was to have been
married, and young Hastings went away heart |
|
|
|
broken, so it was said, though he afterwards
married. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'At Donington they ceased to remember much
about their far-distant cousins, for the ninth |
|
|
|
Earl died, and he was succeeded by his son,
Francis, who had no children, and as time went on |
|
|
|
began to take more and more interest in his
nephew, the Marquis, who had chosen the name |
|
|
|
of Hastings for his new title, and who would
add dignity and honour to his mother's family, |
|
|
|
which, so the uncle considered, he would
eventually represent. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Francis,
the tenth Earl, left all his property to his nephew, the Marquis, who,
however, made no |
|
|
|
claim
to the earldom of Huntingdon. In the meantime, George Hastings had married
and died, |
|
|
|
leaving only one surviving son, Hans Francis
Hastings. George's eldest brother had also died |
|
|
|
without children, so Hans Hastings represented
the branch of the family who had been supposed |
|
|
|
to come next to the direct line. He had been in
the navy, and had seen a good deal of service, |
|
|
|
but, in the year 1808, was content to take the
rather humble post of ordnance storekeeper at |
|
|
|
Enniskillen,
in Ireland. He had married, when just of age, the daughter of a Mr. Cobbe,
the |
|
|
|
rector of Great Marlow, and probably was
anxious to settle on shore. For a good many years |
|
|
|
Captain Hastings seems to have troubled himself
very little about his family honours. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'There was a story that he had a quarrel with
an Irish nobleman, who insulted him, but refused |
|
|
|
to go out with him [for a duel?] because he was
of inferior rank, and that, incensed at this |
|
|
|
treatment,
Captain Hastings took the trouble to prove to the Irish lord that he was
a |
|
|
|
|
descendant
of the Plantagenets, and "de jure" the Earl of Huntingdon. This
story was the |
|
|
|
common
gossip of the country-side. As a matter of fact, there was no truth in it;
but, idle |
|
|
|
gossip though it was, it helped to bring about
a change in the old House of Hastings. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Captain Hastings had a neighbour, a Mr. Bell,
one of whose sons was a sucking lawyer, with a |
|
|
|
taste
for pedigree-hunting and heraldry. Young Bell and Captain Hastings had become
great |
|
|
|
friends,
and the former, hearing the story, naturally enough asked his friend whether
it was |
|
|
|
true.
That the story was all nonsense, but, so far as it related to his pedigree,
it was founded |
|
|
|
on fact, was Captain Hasting's answer. And then
he went on to tell Mr. Bell his reasons for |
|
|
|
believing that he was the eleventh Earl of
Huntingdon. He could not have told his story to |
|
|
|
anyone who would have taken a keener interest
in it. Captain Hastings's knowledge of his |
|
|
|
pedigree seems to have been very vague. Young
Bell, however, had plenty of enterprise, and it |
|
|
|
was agreed between them that he should work up
the case for establishing the claim on the "no |
|
|
|
cure, no pay" principle. The consequence
of this was that Mr. Bell and a friend, a Mr. Jamieson, |
|
|
|
a Dublin solicitor, started off to England to
make inquiries. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Castle
Donington was, of course, their first point, and they began matters by having
an |
|
|
|
|
interview with the local lawyer, a Mr. Dalby.
It is not surprising that the latter gentleman was |
|
|
|
somewhat guarded, for he did not know how the
powers that were at Donington, the Marquis of |
|
|
|
Hastings's family, would view the claim. If he
knew anything he kept his knowledge to himself, |
|
|
|
and
went away from the inn where Bell and his friend were staying, leaving them
none the |
|
|
|
wiser. Fortunately, the landlord, after the
manner of his class, was a man who took an interest |
|
|
|
in his guests' affairs. He seemed to have
listened to what was going on when the lawyer was |
|
|
|
there, and when the latter took his departure,
he could not help talking to his guests about the |
|
|
|
matter he had overheard. He knew something of
the gossip of the place about George Hastings, |
|
|
|
and
he told them that at Belton, some four miles off, there resided a reduced
gentleman of the |
|
|
|
name of Needham, a descendant on the female
side of the same branch of the Hastings family |
|
|
|
as that from which Captain Hastings sprang. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Keen as a hound that had lost the scent and
found it again, Mr. Bell started the next morning |
|
|
|
for Belton, and he found Mr. Needham at work on
his farm. From that gentleman Mr. Bell learnt |
|
|
|
that
George Hastings was the son of Henry Hastings, of Lutterworth, who was the
son of a |
|
|
|
Richard Hastings, of, he believed, the same
place. It was easy to establish this, for Mr. Bell |
|
|
|
found Henry Hastings's tomb at Lutterworth, and
Richard Hastings at Welford, a village seven |
|
|
|
miles off, in the next county,
Northamptonshire; and there he met a very old man who said he |
|
|
|
remembered Henry Hastings, of Lutterworth, and
said that he was called Lord Hastings, because |
|
|
|
of the general report that he and his sons - in
failure of issue of the reigning branch - were next |
|
|
|
heirs to the title of Huntingdon. Richard
Hastings, of Welford, was the son of Henry Hastings, of |
|
|
|
Humberstone, who was buried at Loughborough;
and there Mr. Bell found his tomb. This Henry |
|
|
|
Hastings was a staunch Cavalier, and his
loyalty had cost him most of his fortune, for, after his |
|
|
|
time, the fortunes of his branch of the family
declined. He had married the daughter of Goodhall |
|
|
|
of Belgrave, and left five sons and three
daughters. But of these sons two died unmarried, one |
|
|
|
married, but without children, one married and
only left daughters, and the other was Henry of |
|
|
|
Welford. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'It
was on his drive from Loughborough back to Donington that Mr. Bell met with
an adventure |
|
|
|
that, in telling the story, he makes a good
deal of, for he has a turn for picturesque writing. He |
|
|
|
had tried in vain to glean information about
the Hastings family from his fellow-passengers on |
|
|
|
the coach, who either would not or could not
tell him anything about them, when he passed a |
|
|
|
donkey-cart driven by an old woman. There was a
spare seat in the cart, and it came into his |
|
|
|
head that he would like to take it. With a good
deal of Irish blarney. He asked her leave. She |
|
|
|
gave it, and at once he jumped from the coach
into the cart. It turned out to be a move in the |
|
|
|
right direction. The old woman was only too
ready to talk about Mr. Bell's subject, and, what is |
|
|
|
more, she had a great deal to tell him. She had
been Lady Selina Hastings's maid, and she told |
|
|
|
the story of Colonel Hastings's love affair,
and the bride's death, and a little romance of her |
|
|
|
own - namely, that she had always been in love
with her mistress's intended husband. It makes |
|
|
|
a pretty little incident, and Mr. Bell talks of
his sudden impulse to jump from the coach into the |
|
|
|
donkey-cart as a providential circumstance
which helped to bring back the family of Hastings to |
|
|
|
their ancient dignity; but, as a matter of
fact, one does not see that he found out much from |
|
|
|
her that he did not already know. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'With the exception of the sons of Henry
Hastings, the Cavalier, there were none of the line to |
|
|
|
be exhausted that would interfere with Captain
Hastings, and it was clear that that gentleman |
|
|
|
was the head of the line that was descended
from Sir Edward Hastings. But many a Hastings |
|
|
|
had been born from the direct line since Sir
Edward's time, and they all had to be exhausted |
|
|
|
before the latter's family could come in. Mr.
Bell always appeared to be all hopefulness, and |
|
|
|
though Mr. Jamieson, the Dublin lawyer, gave
the matter up as one too hopeless to justify |
|
|
|
expense being incurred, he seemed to be not one
whit discouraged. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The first thing he did was to seek out the
advice of Sir Samuel Romilly, whom he followed to |
|
|
|
his country seat near Dorking, and accosted him
when he was walking in the garden. He |
|
|
|
|
presented him with a case and a fee, and told
his story, but Sir Samuel answered that he did |
|
|
|
not take cases. The Irishman was not to be
denied, and he made a speech full of his native |
|
|
|
blarney, finishing up with: "I value your
opinion more than that of any other man on earth; if |
|
|
|
you refuse to let me have it, you will break my
heart." "My accent," writes Mr. Bell, "convinced |
|
|
|
him that I was Irish; and with one of those
smiles which sometimes illuminated his intelligent |
|
|
|
countenance he familiarly replied: "Well,
Paddy, I will." Sir Samuel Romilly's opinion was, on the |
|
|
|
whole, encouraging. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A month or two afterwards, Lord and Lady
Huntingdon, as they now called themselves, and Mr. |
|
|
|
Bell
crossed over to England; and that year they ate their Christmas dinner at the
Huntingdon |
|
|
|
Arms in Ashby-de-la-Zouche. For some weeks Mr.
Bell and the family were agreeably occupied |
|
|
|
in the task of making extracts from registers,
and noticing the likeness between his lordship's |
|
|
|
children and the family portraits at Donington.
They had, however, been a little premature, for |
|
|
|
Mr. Bell had not really learnt what was in
front of him. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Early in January he paid a visit to Mr.
Townsend, the Windsor herald. It is likely enough that the |
|
|
|
latter gentleman experienced some little
pleasure in showing the young gentleman from Ireland |
|
|
|
how much at fault he was in thinking that his
labours were at an end. He was able to do so very |
|
|
|
effectively. The third Earl of Huntingdon had
two sons - the elder, who carried on the |
|
|
|
|
succession;
the younger, Henry Hastings, who was of Woodlands, in the New Forest.
Collins's |
|
|
|
Peerage
settled Henry Hastings in a very satisfactory manner. He died, it is said,
leaving two |
|
|
|
sons, who died without issue. Mr. Townsend,
however, was able to tell a different story. He |
|
|
|
produced
a "Herald's Visitation" which showed that Henry Hastings, of
Woodlands, had five sons, |
|
|
|
and
that these five had altogether 24 sons. Here was rather an awkward family to
exhaust, but |
|
|
|
there was no doubt that proof had to be given
that all these descendants of Henry, of |
|
|
|
|
Woodlands,
had died without issue before the descendants
of his uncle, Sir Edward Hastings, |
|
|
|
need think about claiming the Earldom of
Huntingdon. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr. Bell was not daunted, but went back to his
task. He read upwards of 180 wills of persons |
|
|
|
of the name of Hastings. He hunted up
registers, and did at last succeed in exhausting a great |
|
|
|
part
of the Woodlands branch. But there were two tiresome members of it who seemed
to |
|
|
|
stubbornly resist his endeavours to dispose of
them. A "Surrey Visitation" for 1681 showed that |
|
|
|
a Ferdinando and a Deborah Hastings, of
Kensington, had two sons, Ferdinando and Theophilus, |
|
|
|
born
in 1675 and 1677. More about them he could not find, other than the register
of the |
|
|
|
deaths
of a Ferdinando and a Theophilus Hastings of Long-alley, Shoreditch. But he
could not |
|
|
|
show
that they were the same men, nor could he prove they died without issue. Sir
Samuel |
|
|
|
Romilly
was consulted again, but all the comfort Mr. Bell obtained from the great
lawyer was the |
|
|
|
pious
sentiment that he must trust in the goodness of Providence. Going away from
Sir Samuel's |
|
|
|
house,
he happened to meet his client, who saw that something was wrong, and
insisted on |
|
|
|
going with him to Mr. Townsend. The latter
gentleman declared that they had no chance of |
|
|
|
succeeding, and that at the best the claim
would be referred to a Committee of Privilege, which |
|
|
|
would be a long and expensive proceeding. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'As they drove home, Mr. Bell's client
complained that he had been brought over to England on |
|
|
|
a fool's errand. When he got home, however, he
took down the copies of the Hastings wills he |
|
|
|
had
collected, and began to read them over. Then a happy thought came to him - to
tell the |
|
|
|
truth, it is one that would have occurred to a
good many other people in his place, though he |
|
|
|
naturally
prides himself a good deal on it. It was that some of the sisters and
daughters of the |
|
|
|
Earls
of Huntingdon might, in their wills, have remembered their collateral
relations. A Lady |
|
|
|
Elizabeth
Hastings had died during what was probably the lifetime of Theophilus and
Ferdinando. |
|
|
|
After a sleepless night, Mr. Bell rushed to the
Prerogative Office and obtained Lady Elizabeth's |
|
|
|
will. He read it and, to his delight found that
it bequeathed a bond, value £100, to Ferdinando |
|
|
|
Hastings of Long-alley, Shoreditch, gentleman,
late of Kensington. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'"By the help of this new light,"
says Mr. Bell, "I soon discovered the will of this Ferdinando also, |
|
|
|
and thanked God when I found that he had an
only child, a daughter named Deborah, to whom |
|
|
|
in a codicil he leaves the aforesaid bond,
'bequeathed to him by Lady Elizabeth Hastings, his |
|
|
|
relative.' My search was then renewed for the
will of Theophilus, Ferdinando's brother. I knew |
|
|
|
that if I succeeded in finding it, all the imps
of darkness could not prevent my ultimate success. |
|
|
|
I
therefore sought the document with a corresponding degree of anxiety. When at
length I |
|
|
|
discovered the will of a Theophilus Hastings,
which was proved in 1755, my feelings were wound |
|
|
|
up to such a pitch of interest that for some
moments I scarcely attempted to read that which |
|
|
|
lay under my eyes. Having recalled my
faculties, I with difficulty read the first lines, which |
|
|
|
began: 'I, Theophilus Hastings, of Long-alley,
in the parish of Shoreditch, gentleman, being well |
|
|
|
stricken in years,' etc. There my agitation
became excessive; on the tenor of that instrument |
|
|
|
my
own earthly happiness, my hopes of honest fame, and, what I valued still
more, the |
|
|
|
|
prosperity of my noble friend, might be said to
depend; and those only who have laboured as I |
|
|
|
did, and pined in tedious suspense for the
treasure which was to confirm, or perhaps blast, their |
|
|
|
prospects,
can sufficiently estimate what I felt at that moment. At last I mustered
courage to |
|
|
|
proceed; all my trepidation vanished when I
found that the testator died a bachelor, bequeath- |
|
|
|
ing
all his estate, real and personal, to the four children of his niece Deborah.
I flung down the |
|
|
|
books and nearly ran over the clerks, jostled
everyone I met, and, rushing from the Commons |
|
|
|
with an impetuosity of which, under other
circumstances, I might have been ashamed, threw |
|
|
|
myself into a coach and ordered the coachman to
Lord Huntingdon's residence, in Montague- |
|
|
|
place. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Having
found the missing link, Mr. Bell went in triumph to Sir Samuel Romilly. The
great lawyer, |
|
|
|
he
says, took him by the hand, with his eyes sparkling with pleasure, and
declared his |
|
|
|
|
gratification in the warmest terms, telling him
that he was an extraordinary fellow. Sir Samuel |
|
|
|
also wrote to the Attorney-General, saying that
he would save himself much trouble if he |
|
|
|
|
would receive Mr. Bell as counsel when the case
came before him in chambers, though he was |
|
|
|
then neither a barrister nor a solicitor. After
an attendance before the Attorney-General, Mr. |
|
|
|
Bell found that his troubles were by no means
at an end. Several other claimants came forward. |
|
|
|
One was a Cheltenham tailor. Another, a George
Hastings, of Kilard, Ireland, seemed more |
|
|
|
dangerous,
and appeared to be supported by the Marquis of Hastings, as that
nobleman's |
|
|
|
lawyer
acted for him. He claimed to be the eldest male descendant of John Hastings,
grandson |
|
|
|
of
Henry Hastings, of Woodlands. This claim gave Mr. Bell some trouble, but
again he attacked |
|
|
|
the Woodlands branch, and succeeded in
completely exhausting it, and showing that, whoever |
|
|
|
Mr.
John Hastings might be, he certainly did not descend from it. At length,
after some more |
|
|
|
difficulties had cropped up and been overcome,
there was the final hearing before the Attorney- |
|
|
|
General, who declared he had never known a case
conducted with more zeal, integrity and |
|
|
|
ability, and commissioned Mr. Bell to draft the
report, to which he afterwards added a clause |
|
|
|
to the effect that he was of the opinion that
Hans Francis Hastings, the petitioner, had proved |
|
|
|
his claim to the earldom of Huntingdon. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'On January 7th of the following year [1819],
when Mr. Bell and Lord Huntingdon were at Covent |
|
|
|
Garden Theatre, they received the news that the
Lord Chancellor had approved the report, and |
|
|
|
that the Prince Regent had signed the warrant
empowering him to issue a writ of summons to |
|
|
|
Lord Huntingdon. "On reading the joyful
news," says Mr. Bell, "I could scarce refrain from |
|
|
|
|
exclaiming, in the language of the King in
Hamlet, though with widely different feelings, 'Break |
|
|
|
up the play.'" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Thus the eleventh Earl of Huntingdon succeeded
in recovering the family honours, which had |
|
|
|
been in abeyance for about thirty years; but
the family estates had gone away from him, and |
|
|
|
were not to be recovered. "The Story of
the Huntingdon Peerage,"* written by Mr. Bell, ends |
|
|
|
with a stirring description of the visits which
the Earl of Huntingdon made to Ashby and Castle |
|
|
|
Donington to make formal entry on the estates
of his ancestors. This ceremony seems to have |
|
|
|
been witnessed with the greatest enthusiasm by
crowds of the tenantry and townspeople. But |
|
|
|
enthusiasm does not avail much against legal
instruments; and since the last Earl of Huntingdon |
|
|
|
had suffered a recovery of his estates, and
settled them on his daughter, the case of the |
|
|
|
successful claimant to the earldom had little,
if anything, to rest on. The Huntingdon estates |
|
|
|
remained in possession of the Marquis of
Hastings and his family, until they came to the last |
|
|
|
Marquis of Hastings, whose disastrous career on
the Turf is a chapter of sporting history.' |
