Massy |
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Massy was the victim of a home invasion in 1922
during which the intruder was accidentally |
|
|
|
killed, as reported in the 'Manchester
Guardian' of 24 Jul 1922:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'An inquest was held in Dublin on Saturday on
Anthony Walsh, who was shot dead by the Hon. |
|
|
|
Hamon Massy, son of Lord Massy, at Killakee
House, county Dublin. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Hon. Mrs. Massy said the house was four
miles from the Dublin tram terminus, and was in |
|
|
|
a lonely place. On Thursday night she and her
husband retired, and while undressing she heard |
|
|
|
footsteps on the gravel walk close to the hall
door, and her husband opened the window, |
|
|
|
|
shouting, "Hello, who is there?" A
man was heard to reply, "Is that you, Mr. Massy?" and said |
|
|
|
he wanted to see him. Her husband went down
with a hand-lamp, and she heard the door open. |
|
|
|
Some
time after her husband returned for the keys of the safe, telling her the man
was |
|
|
|
|
demanding money. In the safe there was a very
considerable sum of money in notes. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'After her husband got the keys she heard him
tell the man to get out, and on going downstairs |
|
|
|
she found her husband trying to get the man
out. She asked the man to go, and her husband |
|
|
|
was pushing him away from the direction of the
safe. The man was violent, and shouted that |
|
|
|
he would not go, He had his hand in his pocket,
and she thought he had firearms. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He then rushed at her husband, who got a
revolver from a drawer and warned the man to get |
|
|
|
out,
but he made for her husband. One shot went off over the man's head, and when
he caught |
|
|
|
her husband's legs and they struggled another
shot went off, and the man fell. The doctor and |
|
|
|
the priest were at once sent for, and the
witness and others prayed over the man while he was |
|
|
|
dying. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Neither the witness nor her husband knew the
man. They had been raided two or three times |
|
|
|
recently. Their car was taken and the telephone
wires cut the day before the occurrence. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Lieutenant Kinsella, of the C.I.D., stated
that he found on the man a £5 pound note and an |
|
|
|
expert's skeleton key. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The jury returned a verdict that death was due
to a bullet wound accidentally inflicted by |
|
|
|
Mr, Massy.' |

Before succeeding to the Irish Earldom in 1867, |
|
|
|
he had, under the courtesy title of Lord Naas,
been Chief Secretary for Ireland in 1858-1859 |
|
|
|
and 1866-1868. He was a big, good-looking,
genial character, a tireless administrator and a |
|
|
|
celebrated sportsman. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As
soon as he arrived at Government House in Calcutta, he flung himself with
typical energy |
|
|
|
into every aspect of the government of India.
During his viceroyalty, he travelled 20,000 miles |
|
|
|
throughout India, from the jungles of Burma to
the wildest sections of the turbulent North-West |
|
|
|
Frontier. He horrified his staff by insisting
on personally investigating districts torn by bloody |
|
|
|
religious riots and anti-British disturbances.
He set up committees to reorganise the archaic and |
|
|
|
cumbersome Indian financial system and to
promote railway building, irrigation schemes and |
|
|
|
other works. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
One
of Mayo's favourite projects was the reform of the penal system, which was
still haunted |
|
|
|
by memories of the Indian Mutiny only 15 years
earlier. After the mutiny, thousands of captives |
|
|
|
were
exiled to South Andaman Island in the Bay of Bengal, forming the nucleus of
India's most |
|
|
|
feared penal colony. The centre of the
settlement was the squalid township of Hopetown, built |
|
|
|
mostly
on a malarial swamp reclaimed from the jungle-fringed foreshore of Port
Blair. Here, |
|
|
|
guarded
by a native regiment, were the barracks of the more docile convicts who
worked at |
|
|
|
timber-cutting, road-making and draining the
swamps. Out in the bay was Viper Island, a mile |
|
|
|
long
and half a mile wide, which housed the most dangerous prisoners as well as
the condemned |
|
|
|
cells
and gallows. On the nearby island of Ross were a sawmill, hospital, church,
storehouses |
|
|
|
and the small fort which was the headquarters
of the commandant, General Donald Stewart |
|
|
|
[later Field Marshal Sir Donald Stewart, Bt]. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ever
since its foundation, the colony had been a cesspool of brutality and
depravity in which |
|
|
|
sickness sometimes swept away a third of the
wretched prisoners each year. Corrupt officials |
|
|
|
openly traded liquor for the convicts' meagre
earnings. Murders, riots and drunkenness added to |
|
|
|
the high mortality rate caused by endemic malaria. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In
1871, a particularly nasty series of killings in the settlement convinced
Lord Mayo that his |
|
|
|
most
urgent task was a sweeping reform of the whole administration of the
Andamans. His |
|
|
|
officials agreed, but they reacted with violent
opposition when the Viceroy announced that he |
|
|
|
would
visit Hopetown and investigate conditions on the spot. His secretary, Major
Burne, and his |
|
|
|
two ADCs, Captains Lockwood and Gregory, begged
him not to take his life in his hands among |
|
|
|
criminals who included a large number of
anti-British fanatics. But Mayo swept aside every |
|
|
|
objection, and at daybreak on 8 February 1872,
the cruiser 'Glasgow', carrying the vice-regal |
|
|
|
party, dropped anchor off Hopetown. General
Stewart boarded the warship at once and asked |
|
|
|
Mayo not to go ashore until his security
arrangements had been completed and the most |
|
|
|
|
dangerous prisoners safely locked up. Once
more, Mayo ignored official fears, though he did |
|
|
|
agree to delay his visit to Viper Island until
the afternoon, when the guard could be reinforced |
|
|
|
by native troops from Hopetown. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The tours of Ross and Viper Islands passed off
without incident and the party then landed at |
|
|
|
Hopetown. After inspecting the facilities
there, Mayo, to the horror of his accompanying party, |
|
|
|
suggested that they climb Mt. Harriet. It was
pointed out that the only route was a narrow |
|
|
|
track winding through jungle and that it would
be impossible to guarantee Mayo's safety from |
|
|
|
any unseen assassin lurking in the jungle. Mayo
again brushed aside these objections and the |
|
|
|
party set off. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mayo's arrival at Hopetown had been observed by
convict number 15,557 - Shere Ali - a native |
|
|
|
of a village at the foot of the Khyber Pass,
where his tribal people had been fighting the British |
|
|
|
for 50 years. Shere Ali had, however, served in
the Punjabi Mounted Police until ancestral |
|
|
|
|
tradition
had reasserted itself and he killed a fellow tribesman in a blood feud. He
was |
|
|
|
|
condemned
to hang, but because of his good service record, the sentence had been
commuted |
|
|
|
to
exile. Good behaviour soon won him a transfer from Viper Island to Hopetown,
where he |
|
|
|
became
the settlement's barber and enjoyed almost complete freedom. But Shere Ali
had never |
|
|
|
forgotten
the disgrace of being stripped of the Queen's uniform, an insult that could
only be |
|
|
|
wiped out in blood, and now he had his chance. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For an hour, with a razor-sharp knife concealed
beneath his robe, Shere Ali stalked Mayo's |
|
|
|
party through the jungle, but could not get
close enough to strike. He had almost given up |
|
|
|
hope and night was now falling. As the party
returned to the jetty at Hopetown, Shere Ali |
|
|
|
concealed himself in a pile of boulders at the
landward end of the jetty, and, as Mayo passed, |
|
|
|
he flung himself at Mayo and stabbed him twice
in the back. Mayo collapsed into the shallow |
|
|
|
water, and within seconds had been lifted into
the launch and taken to the 'Glasgow', but he |
|
|
|
was dead before ship's surgeon could assist him. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In
the meantime, Shere Ali, beaten unconscious by rifle butts, was also dragged
aboard the |
|
|
|
launch and lashed by his wrists and ankles to a
grating on the deck. Within 24 hours, he had |
|
|
|
been taken back to Hopetown and sentenced to
death by General Stewart in his capacity as |
|
|
|
the colony's Chief Justice. The sentence was
confirmed by the High Court of Bengal and |
|
|
|
|
Shere Ali was hanged on the gallows on Viper
Island three weeks later. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Out of the violence came some good, however.
The assassination stunned the British |
|
|
|
|
administration into hastening reforms of the
penal system, and over the next 10 years, |
|
|
|
|
Hopetown was transformed into a model
settlement. |

John Charles Bigham, 1st Viscount Mersey |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following amusing sketch is taken from the
'Chicago Daily Tribune' of 13 February 1901. |
|
|
|
Although the report is mainly concerned with
Clive Bigham, who would succeed his father to |
|
|
|
become the 2nd Viscount Mersey, the report
mentions the 1st Viscount's love of bulldogs, as |
|
|
|
follows:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'……..Sir
John Bigham, who is as noted for his acumen as a Judge as for his pedigree
bulldogs, |
|
|
|
which rejoice in the names of Fee and Brief.
Fee is in the habit of accompanying Sir John to the |
|
|
|
Courts of a morning when in town. Sometimes the
dog remains all day with its master, while on |
|
|
|
other occasions it returns home, all the way to
Palace Gate in South Kensington, on its own |
|
|
|
account. It must not, however, for one moment
be thought that the dog walks. It drives, and |
|
|
|
generally
hires a hansom for the purpose. That is to say, it jumps into any smart
hansom that |
|
|
|
it happens to see empty, and, ensconcing itself
on the cushions, absolutely refuses to budge, |
|
|
|
growling ominously and showing its teeth if any
attempt is made to dislodge it. The driver, |
|
|
|
unless he happens to know Fee, usually appeals
to the nearest policeman, who, however, is apt |
|
|
|
to
pause, owing to the formidable appearance of the dog. Finally, however, Fee
turns its head |
|
|
|
in such a way that the name and address of its
master, engraved on the collar, can be |
|
|
|
|
deciphered
in safety. On the advice of the policeman the dog is usually driven by the
cabman in |
|
|
|
state to the address mentioned on the collar.
On arrival the dog alights from the cab, waits |
|
|
|
beside the coachman until the latter has rung
the bell and collected his fare, and then vanishes |
|
|
|
into the house with an air of the utmost
dignity and importance.' |

Sir William Thomas Lewis,1st baronet, later 1st
Baron Merthyr |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir William, as he then was, was the victim of
desecration in February 1910, when someone |
|
|
|
broke into his mausoleum and opened his late
wife's coffin. The details of this desecration were |
|
|
|
published
in "The Tasmanian News" of 13 April 1910, reprinted from
"Lloyd's News" of 20 |
|
|
|
|
February 1910. I have edited the report so as
to eliminate some extraneous material. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Merthyr Cemetery, in the mountain village of
Cefn, was the scene of a startling outrage on |
|
|
|
Saturday [19 February 1910], the mausoleum of
Sir William Thomas Lewis being forced, and the |
|
|
|
coffin containing the body of Lady Lewis broken
open. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Some mystery surrounds the affair, but it is
surmised that the ghouls who broke in had designs |
|
|
|
on
certain diamond rings which encircled the deceased lady's fingers, but as the
body |
|
|
|
|
apparently had not been disturbed it is
supposed the intruders became unnerved and fled. Sir |
|
|
|
William Lewis has offered a reward of £20 for
information leading to the arrest of the desecrator. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
Lewis vault is a solid structure built into a rising piece of ground; at
present it contains |
|
|
|
only the body of Lady Lewis, his wife, who died
at Hean Castle, Pembrokeshire, the residence |
|
|
|
of Mr. Hubert C. Lewis, and was interred on
October 6, 1902. The door is of solid oak, 1½ inches |
|
|
|
thick, and is protected by a massive outer gate
of decorative gunmetal. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Between the part of the cemetery and the spot
where the mausoleum stands there is a ravine, |
|
|
|
and
the way to the mausoleum is over a bridge which crosses the river flowing
through the |
|
|
|
ravine. There would be little chance of the
sexton or anybody else hearing anything, especially |
|
|
|
in the noise of the gale. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
workmen who made the discovery that the mausoleum had been tampered with were
on |
|
|
|
their way in the early morning, by permission,
through the cemetery to the Brecon and Merthyr |
|
|
|
Railway.
They found the gate ajar and part of the metal work twisted. They at once
informed |
|
|
|
Mr. Meredith, the chief sexton, and
Police-Sergeant Davies, who were soon on the scene. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'What
vwas revealed upon inspection was so astounding that Mr. A.P. Jones, of
Aberdare, |
|
|
|
private secretary to Sir William, was
immediately sent for, and deputy Chief Constable Hands, |
|
|
|
Breconshire police, also arrived in hot haste. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'It was obvious that the desecrator prised the
gate open, feeling secure from disturbance in the |
|
|
|
furious gale that was blowing, the shrieking of
the wind being enough to drown any noise. |
|
|
|
Considerable violence had been exerted to force
the gate, and the shutters both lay in pieces |
|
|
|
on the ground. An unsuccessful attempt had been
made to smash in the lock of the oak door, |
|
|
|
whih was very much battered about. Through an
aperture through which bthe supposed robbers |
|
|
|
had made in the lower panel the party entered
the vault. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Lady Lewis's coffin had been removed from the
slab and lifted down to the floor of the chamber. |
|
|
|
The
lid had been prised, the plate smashed, and the head and shoulders were
exposed to view. |
|
|
|
The shroud did not seem to have been tampered
with. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'It
is thought that the desecrator, becoming unnerved, departed suddenly. At any
rate, the |
|
|
|
mattock pickaxe with which he had begun his
ghoulish work was left on the floor near the coffin. |
|
|
|
He
must have had an intimate knowledge of the cemetery, for he took the mattock,
which |
|
|
|
belongs to the grave-diggers, from a shed some
distance towards the railway, where the grave- |
|
|
|
diggers had left it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir W[illiam] Lewis is a self-made man, and
the age of seventy-two holds the premier position |
|
|
|
in
the Welsh coal trade. At the age of twelve he was apprenticed as an engineer
at the |
|
|
|
|
Plymouth works, and the next five years he
spent in the ironworks and collieries. Then he went |
|
|
|
into the office of Mr. W. S. Clarke, chief
mineral engineer of the Bute estate, and at the age of |
|
|
|
27,
when his chief died, he was given the appointment with a salary of £1,000 a
year and a |
|
|
|
house. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Recently
Sir William, who was created a baronet in 1896, retired from the general
managership |
|
|
|
of the Cardiff Railway Company, which controls
the Bute docks. At a farewell meeting it was |
|
|
|
recorded that when Sir William became
assistant-engineer in 1855, the coal shipments at Cardiff |
|
|
|
were just over one million tons per annum, and
the dock water space was nineteen acres, while |
|
|
|
last year the coal shipments were over nineteen
millions, and the dock are was 163 acres. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Lady Lewis, to whom he was married in 1864,
was the daughter of the late Mr. William Rees, of |
|
|
|
Hetty Shenken, Aberdare.' |
