The
following story appeared in the Sydney "Star" of 17 March 1910
under the heading of |
|
|
|
"Whimsical Wagers":- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'There is probably no more remarkable record of
wagers in existence than the Betting Book of |
|
|
|
White's Club in London. It contains the bets
and wagers of nearly two hundred years - bets and |
|
|
|
wagers of a choice variety, born of the
singular whims and caprices of several generations of |
|
|
|
members
of this famous old club. In the second half of the eighteenth century the
passion of |
|
|
|
making wagers reached its height...... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In the palmy days of White's men would stake
their guineas lavishly on any chance that might |
|
|
|
occur to them, no matter how trivial it might
seem. Never-failing subjects for wagers were the |
|
|
|
duration
of a person's life, the increase of a lady's family, and so forth. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Lord Montfort may be taken as a type of
reckless gamester of the period. In his day the gaming |
|
|
|
spirit
at White's was at its height. In the few pages of the early Betting Book that
are |
|
|
|
|
preserved
sixty wagers of his are recorded, aggregating Ł5500; and births, marriages
and |
|
|
|
deaths
were the events upon which nearly the whole of this sum depended. Sporting
matters |
|
|
|
did not, evidently, tempt his lordship to such
recklessness. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In November of 1754 he made a wager which,
alone of all the wagers in the book, is doubly |
|
|
|
flavoured with tragedy. "Lord Montfort
wagers Sir John Bland 100 guineas that Mr. Nash outlives |
|
|
|
Mr. Cibber." So runs the register, Lord
Montfort making a similar bet with another member. The |
|
|
|
subjects of this wager - Beau Nash, the
"King of Bath," and Colley Cibber, the actor and poet - |
|
|
|
were very old at this time [Beau Nash was 80
and Colley Cibber was 83]. Below the entry in the |
|
|
|
Betting Book is the significant note, written
in another hand: "Both Lord Montfort and Sir John |
|
|
|
Bland put an end to their lives before the bet
was decided." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The first of these tragedies was the death of
Lord Montfort, who committed suicide on New |
|
|
|
Year's Day, 1755, having at last reached the
end of his fortune. He had spent a vast amount of |
|
|
|
money on his house, and had lived very
extravagantly, and the final blow was dealt him by the |
|
|
|
deaths on the same day, of the [2nd] Earl of
Albemarle [who died 22 December 1754] and [the |
|
|
|
1st] Lord Gage [who died on 21 December 1754]
who, presumably, paid him annuities. After this, |
|
|
|
he became more reckless than ever, even going
so far as to stake his life on the answer he |
|
|
|
should receive from the Duke of Newcastle in
reply to his application for a Government appoint- |
|
|
|
ment. He surprised the dilatory duke by the
eagerness with which he pressed for an answer to |
|
|
|
his request for the Governorship of Virginia or
the Mastership of the Royal Hounds. At last the |
|
|
|
answer came - it was unfavourable. Immediately
Lord Montfort aroused the suspicions of his |
|
|
|
friends by inquiring the easiest method of
self-destruction, but he succeeded in quieting them. |
|
|
|
He
spent his last evening at White's. It was the last day of 1754. He ordered
supper at the |
|
|
|
club, and played whist till 1 o'clock, seeing
in the New Year for the last time. When Lord Robert |
|

|
Bertie, who was one of the party, drank a happy
New Year to him, Lord Montfort was observed |
|
|
|
to pass his hand over his eyes in a strange
manner. The next morning Lord Montfort sent for a |
|
|
|
lawyer and witnesses, and made his will.
"Would a man's will hold good even if he shot himself?" |
|
|
|
he
asked the lawyer, casually. "Certainly, your lordship," was the
answer. Thereupon he |
|
|

requested the lawyer to wait a minute, stepped
into the next room, and shot himself.' |

James Graham, 1st Marquess of Montrose |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Montrose was one of the giants of Scottish
history due to his role in the 'Wars of the Three |
|
|
|
Kingdoms' in the 17th century. The English
Civil War is the best known of these wars, but |
|
|
|
|
an equally savage civil war was fought in
Scotland during this period. Although initially a |
|
|
|
|
Covenanter,
Montrose later switched his loyalties to the Royalist cause. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It
is not the purpose of this note to provide a biography of Montrose. Readers
who wish to |
|
|
|
know more of his life are referred to his
article in Wikipedia. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Suffice
it to say that, after being betrayed to his enemies, Montrose was hanged in
Edinburgh |
|
|
|
on 21 May 1650. As part of the sentence, the
body was left hanging for three hours after |
|
|
|
which it was cut down and dismembered, the
various limbs being distributed among the chief |
|
|
|
towns in Scotland. The trunk was buried beside
the public gallows on the Boroughmuir, the |
|
|
|
usual
place of execution at that time. The head was placed on a spike on the west
face of |
|
|
|
the Tolbooth, where it remained for eleven
years until it was taken down to make room for |
|
|
|
the head of Montrose's bitter enemy, the
Marquess of Argyll. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the Restoration, on 4 January 1661, the
Scottish Parliament voted for "an honourable |
|
|
|
reparation of that horrid and monstrous
barbarity in the person of the great Marquis of |
|
|
|
|
Montrose." As a result, the trunk was
exhumed from the Boroughmuir, and the limbs gathered |
|
|
|
from
the towns to which they had been sent. The remains, wrapped in fine linen in
a |
|
|
|
|
magnificent coffin, were finally buried with
much ceremony on 11 May 1661. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Montrose
had bequeathed his heart to his niece by marriage, Lady Napier. On the night
after |
|
|
|
the execution, Lady Napier sent her servants to
the Boroughmuir, where they dug up Montrose's |
|
|
|
trunk and removed the heart. Once Lady Napier
had received the heart, she had it embalmed, |
|
|
|
and placed in a small egg-shaped case of steel,
made from the blade of Montrose's sword. This |
|
|
|
case was, in turn, enclosed in a gold filigree
box, which had belonged to her husband's kinsman, |
|
|
|
John Napier of Merchistoun, the inventor of
logarithms. The filigree box had originally been given |
|
|
|
to the Napier family by the Doge of Venice. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lady Napier sent the box to Montrose's son, the
second Marquess, who duly restored the heart |
|
|
|
to the body when Montrose was buried for the
second time in 1661. The casket, however, now |
|
|
|
became
the subject of a curious romance. After a time, the casket passed out of
the |
|
|
|
|
possession
of the family, possibly due to theft, until one day, many years later, a
friend of Lord |
|
|
|
Napier of Merchistoun saw it either in a
curiosity shop in The Hague, or in the collection of a |
|
|
|
Dutchman
- the stories differ on this point - and obtained it for him. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On his death, Lord Napier bequeathed the casket
to his daughter Hester, wife of Alexander |
|
|
|
Johnston of Cairnsalloch, an officer of the
East India Company. While sailing to India, the ship |
|
|
|
carrying Mr. and Mrs. Johnston became involved
in a battle with a French squadron off the Cape |
|
|
|
Verde
Islands. During the battle, the filigree casket was struck by a shot and
shattered, but the |
|
|
|
case containing the heart survived intact. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
According
to the version of the story upon which this note is based, once arrived in
India, Mrs. |
|
|
|
Johnston
caused a goldsmith to make a box to replace that which had been destroyed,
and this |
|
|
|
in turn was placed in a silver urn, on the
outside of which was engraved, in two native dialects, |
|
|
|
a short account of Montrose's life and death.
The urn soon came to be regarded by the native |
|
|
|
Indians as somewhat of a talisman, with the
almost inevitable result that it was stolen, and |
|
|
|
remained
missing for a lengthy period. Ultimately, evidence was forthcoming that
tended to |
|
|
|
show that the casket was in the possession of
an Indian ruler in the neighbourhood of Madura. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Years went by until a day when Mrs. Johnston's
son, while out shooting, was able to save the |
|
|
|
life of a young boy by killing a tiger that was
about to spring out at the boy. As it happened, |
|
|
|
the boy was the son of the ruler who had
possession of the casket. The chief, in true Oriental |
|
|
|
fashion, offered to give young Johnston any
gift he asked for, and Johnston availed himself of |
|
|
|
the opportunity to beg for the restoration of
the casket, which was freely granted. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The casket was brought home to Europe by Mr.
and Mrs. Johnston in 1792, and, as they |
|
|
|
|
travelled overland through France, they were
arrested by the revolutionary government at |
|
|
|
Boulogne. Mrs. Johnston handed the casket to an
Englishwoman who lived in that city, and |
|
|
|
asked her to care for it until arrangements
could be made for its safe passage to England. |
|
|
|
Unfortunately, the Englishwoman died shortly
afterwards and all trace of the casket was then |
|
|
|
lost,
and has remained lost ever since. |

James Angus Graham, 7th Duke of Montrose |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Dukes of Montrose have been marked by a
degree of eccentricity for several centuries. The |
|
|
|
3rd Duke was credited with obtaining permission
for Highlanders to wear the kilt again after the |
|
|
|
1745 Rebellion. The wife of the 4th Duke
publicly booed Queen Victoria for listening to gossip |
|
|
|
about her husband. The 6th Duke is generally
credited with inventing the aircraft carrier. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
7th Duke was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford and was employed by
Imperial |
|
|
|
Chemical
Industries, but his financial circumstances soon forced him to move to
Salisbury, |
|
|
|
Southern
Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe) where he eventually set himself up as a
successful |
|
|
|
farmer on 3,000
acres of land. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When
World War II broke out, he enlisted in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve,
becoming |
|
|
|
commander of the Ludlow,
an American lend-lease warship which served on
convoy duty in |
|
|
|
the
Atlantic. He insisted that the crew speak Gaelic and kept a jackdaw which sat
on his |
|
|
|
shoulder when summoned. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After
the war, he returned to Southern Rhodesia, where he was disappointed to find
that the |
|
|
|
country's
politics were changing. At the 1953 general election, he stood as a
candidate, |
|
|
|
|
campaigning for the retention of white
domination in the country. When he succeeded to the |
|
|
|
Dukedom in 1954, he preferred to stay in
Africa. In 1958, he was elected to the parliament of |
|
|
|
the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland,
serving over the years as Minister for Agriculture, |
|
|
|
Minister for External Affairs and finally
Minister of Defence. Montrose was one of the signatories |
|
|
|
to the Unilateral Declaration of Independence
in 1965. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Montrose
brought to the Rhodesian government appropriately vigorous views on race.
Given |
|
|
|
that he had attended a Nuremberg Rally in Nazi
Germany in the 1930s, this is probably not |
|
|
|
surprising. He once described Africans as being
'bright and promising little fellows up to the |
|
|
|
age of puberty. He then becomes hopelessly
inadequate and it is well known that this is due |
|
|
|
to his almost total obsession with sex.' He
also argued that the ruins of Zimbabwe were far too |
|
|
|
sophisticated to have been produced by Africans. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It was often said that Montrose was not
particularly intelligent. When he became Minister for |
|
|
|
Agriculture, it was noted that he was
considerably slower on the uptake than most of the |
|
|
|
Africans about whom he was so contemptuous.
When he was involved in negotiations with |
|
|
|
the UK Wilson government following the
declaration of independence, a joke circulated that it |
|
|
|
took Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith an hour
to explain the British offer to his colleagues, |
|
|
|
who then spent twelve hours trying to explain
it to Montrose. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When it became obvious that Southern Rhodesia
would be ruled by black Africans once it |
|
|
|
|
achieved independence, Montrose moved to South
Africa, before returning to Scotland in 1988. |

James Stewart, 2nd Earl of Moray (creation of
1562) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In February 1549, George Gordon, 4th Earl of
Huntley, was granted the Earldom of Moray which |
|
|
|
had reverted to the Scottish Crown on the death
of James Stewart, illegitimate son of James IV |
|
|
|
of Scotland. Notwithstanding such grant, in
January 1562, Mary Queen of Scots, bestowed the |
|
|
|
Earldom of Moray on her illegitimate brother,
also James Stewart, illegitimate son of James V of |
|
|
|
Scotland. This action led Huntly to revolt
against the Queen, and he was killed at Corrichie on |
|
|
|
28 October 1562. One of the leaders of the
force which defeated his followers was the newly- |
|
|
|
created Earl of Moray. From that day the houses
of Huntly and Moray were bitter enemies, until |
|
|
|
30 years later, the 6th Earl of Huntly gained
his revenge. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following (edited) passage is taken from
"The History of Scotland" by Patrick Fraser Tytler |
|
|
|
[1791-1849], an eminent Scottish historian:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Meanwhile a tragedy occurred, which, even in
that age, familiar with scenes of feudal atrocity, |
|
|
|
occasioned unusual horror. The reader may
perhaps remember the utter destruction brought by |
|
|
|
the Regent Moray upon the great Earl of Huntly;
his execution, and that of one of his sons; the |
|
|
|
forfeiture of his immense estates, and the
almost entire overthrow of his house. It was now |
|
|
|
thirty
years since that miserable event: the favour of the king [James VI, later
James I of |
|
|
|
England] had restored the family of Gordon to
its estates and its honours, and Huntly's ambition |
|
|
|
might
have been satisfied; but the deep principle of feudal vengeance demanded
blood for |
|
|
|
blood; and there was not a retainer in the
house of Huntly who did not acknowledge the sacred |
|
|
|
necessity of revenge. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The then Earl of Moray, a Stewart, and
representative of the famous regent......had princely |
|
|
|
possessions in the north, and for some years
deadly feud had raged between him and Huntly; |
|
|
|
but Lord Ochiltree, a Stewart, a firm friend of
Moray's, was at this time exerting himself to |
|
|
|
bring about an agreement between the two
barons; and had so far succeeded, that Moray, with |
|
|
|
a slender retinue, left his northern
fastnesses, and came to his mother's castle of Dunibersel, a |
|
|
|
short distance from the Queensferry. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Huntly, his enemy, was then at court in
constant attendance upon the king, and Ochiltree, who |
|
|
|
had communicated with him, and informed him of
Moray's wish for a reconciliation, took horse |
|
|
|
and
rode to Queensferry, intending to pass to Dunibersel and arrange an amicable
meeting |
|
|
|
between
the rival earls. To his surprise, he found that a royal order had been sent,
interdicting |
|
|
|
any boats from plying that day between Fife and
the opposite coast. But little suspicion was |
|
|
|
occasioned.....and [he] was satisfied to
abandon his journey to Dunibersel. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'This proved the destruction of his poor
friend. That very day, the 7th of February [1592], the |
|
|
|
king
hunted; and Huntly, giving out that he meant to accompany the royal
cavalcade, |
|
|
|
|
assembled his followers to the number of forty
horse. Suddenly he pretended that certain news |
|
|
|
had reached him.....and passing the ferry,
beset the house of Dunibersel, and summoned Moray |
|
|
|
to surrender. This was refused; and in spite of
the great disparity in numbers, the Stewarts |
|
|
|
resisted till nightfall, when Huntly,
collecting the corn-stacks, or ricks, piled them up against |
|
|
|
the walls, commanded the house to be set on
fire, and compelled its unhappy inmates to make |
|
|
|
a
desperate sally that they might escape being burnt alive. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In this outbreak the Sheriff of Moray was
slain; but the young earl, aided by his great stature |
|
|
|
and strength, rushed forward all burned and
blackened, with his long and beautiful tresses on |
|
|
|
fire
and streaming behind him, threw himself with irresistible fury on his
assailants....and |
|
|
|
|
escaped
by speed of foot to the seashore. Here, unfortunately, his hair and the
silken plume |
|
|
|
of
his helmet blazed through the darkness; and his fell pursuers, tracing him by
the trail of |
|
|
|
light, ran him into a cave, where they cruelly
murdered him. His mortal wound, it was said, was |
|
|
|
given
by Gordon of Buckie, who, with the ferocity of the times, seeing Huntly
drawing back, |
|
|
|
cursed him as afraid to go so far as his
followers, and called upon him to stab his fallen enemy |
|
|
|
with his dagger. Huntly, thus threatened,
struck the dying man in the face with his weapon, |
|
|
|
who, with a bitter smile, upbraided him
"with having spoilt a better face than his own." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This killing is remembered in the Scottish
ballad "The Bonnie Earl O'Moray" which has enjoyed |
|
|
|
new-found popularity as the origin of the word
"mondegreen" meaning misheard song lyrics - for |
|
|
|
example
in Creedence Clearwater Revival's song "Bad Moon Rising" in which a
line is often |
|
|
|
misheard as being "there's a bathroom on
the right." The stanza in question is |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Ye highlands and ye lowlands, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Oh where have you been? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
They have slain the Earl O'Moray |
|
|
|
|
|
|
And laid him on the green." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The last two lines were often heard as
referring to the killing of the Earl of Moray and Lady |
|
|
|
Mondegreen. |

Lord Morley appears to been lucky to escape
greater punishment after killing a Mr. Hastings in |
|
|
|
a street fight. The following edited report is
taken from "A critical review of the state trials" |

[London 1735]:- |

'The Trial of Thomas Lord Morley, for Murder,
in Westminster-Hall, before Edward Earl of |
|
|
|
|
Clarendon, Lord Chancellor of England, Lord
High Steward John Lord Roberts [Robartes], Keeper |
|
|
|
of the Privy-Seal, Edward Earl of Manchester,
Lord Chamberlain; Henry Lord Arlington, Principal |
|
|
|
Secretary of State; the Earls of Oxford,
Bedford, Suffolk, Dorset, and twenty other Peers, the |

30th of April, 1666. 18 Car. II |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Editors of this Trial have neither given
us the Indictment, or Evidence, or the Defence the |
|
|
|
Prisoner made; but it seems to have been a
common Indictment, for the Murder of Mr. Hastings: |
|
|
|
That they tell us only that one Witness
deposed, there was a former Grudge, and that another |
|
|
|
swore when the Lord Morley, the Prisoner, had
run Mr. Hastings through the Head, his Lordship |
|
|
|
said, God damme, I
promised thee this, and now I have given it thee. And that the Quarrel |
|
|
|
began at the Fleece-Tavern, about an half Crown
the Lord Morley said he had laid down. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following is extracted from the speech made
by the Solicitor-General [Sir Heneage Finch]:- |
|
|
|
'There appears to be little Provocation in this
Case, that the poor Gentleman that was murdered |
|
|
|
offered any Man five Pounds to tell him what
the Quarrel was. His Lordship, indeed, says in his |
|
|
|
Defence, he hopes his Peers will consider, that
there was no other Provocation than the half |
|
|
|
Crown. I am sorry for it: I am sure the Laws of
England allow no Man to take away another's |
|
|
|
Life, for half a Crown, without being guilty of
Murder. Mr. Hastings hears my Lord quarrel about |
|
|
|
half a Crown, and says, I
wonder a Person of Honour should make such ado about an half |
|
|
|
Crown; and then throws
down four half Crowns upon the Table, to make Satisfaction: Presently |
|
|
|
Swords are drawn: Mr. Bromidge draws first, and
hectors for my Lord. Then they are put up |
|
|
|
again; there is one Interval, and Time for
Recollection. My Lord proceeds to quarrel with Mr. |
|
|
|
Hastings, and calls his Sins to Remembrance,
and knowing that Mr. Hastings had been guilty of |
|
|
|
killing a Man not long before, tells him, We come not here to stab Folks. Mr. Hastings, piqued |
|
|
|
to see himself so openly reproached, answered,
he was a Gentleman, and as good a Gentleman |
|
|
|
as my Lord. I beseech your Lordships to observe
how Mr. Hastings was treated: He was four |
|
|
|
Times drawn upon, twice by Bromidge in the
House, then in the Street; and a fourth Time under |
|
|
|
the
Arch in Lincoln's-Inn-Fields. Mr. Hastings says, I have no Quarrel to you,
Captain: If there |
|
|
|
be any, it must be disputed between me and my
Lord. Some Witnesses indeed, have been |
|
|
|
produced by my Lord Morley, (not upon Oath) who
say, that Mr. Hastings pressed my Lord to |
|
|
|
fight,
and saw him draw and attack, with the Three on the other Side. Street
deposed, that |
|
|
|
Mr.
Hastings resolved to fight my Lord; and another deposed, that my Lord said,
he would not |
|
|
|
fight; but this is not at all probable. It is
plain, Mr. Hastings said, he would give any Man five |
|
|
|
Pounds, that would tell him what the Quarrel
was: And why should he, that knew of no Quarrel, |
|
|
|
desire the Blood of my Lord Morley? Compare
this with the Witnesses that swear for the King; |
|
|
|
all three of them expressly say, they saw the
Fight, and the Beginning of it, thought it cannot |
|
|
|
properly be called a Fight. It was a direct
Assassination; for three of the Witnesses swore, |
|
|
|
there
were two upon Hastings all the while. Mr. Hastings being thus pressed, steps
back, to |
|
|
|
get a little Ground; then my Lord takes him at
the Advantage, shortens his Sword, and runs |
|
|
|
him into the Head; for which, as there was no
Provocation, Malice was by Law implied, and it |
|
|
|
was Murder in his Lordship. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Solicitor-General having finished his
Speech, the Lord Steward directed the Lords Triers to |
|
|
|
withdraw, and consider of the Evidence; but did
not sum it up. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Lords and the Prisoner being withdrawn,
Wine and Biskets were brought in for the Lord |
|
|
|
Steward, and the great Men present; and the
Lords Triers having staid out about three Hours, |
|
|
|
returned into Court, and took their Places;
and, being called over, the Lord High Steward |
|
|
|
|
demanded of my Lord Frechevile, (the lowest of
the Peers) If my Lord Morley was Guilty or not |
|
|
|
Guilty? To which his Lordship answered (laying
his Hand on his Breast) Not guilty of Murder; but |
|
|
|
guilty of
Manslaughter. |
|
|

'In the same Manner the Lord Steward putting
the like Question to the rest, severally, in their |
|
|
|
Order, they all returned the same Answer,
except the Lord Wharton, and Lord Ashley, who |
|
|
|
answered, Guilty of Murder. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Then the Lord Morley, the Prisoner, being
brought in, the Lord Steward acquainted him, that |
|
|
|
his Peers had found him Guilty of Manslaughter,
and demanded what he had to say for himself: |
|
|
|
To which his Lordship answered, He desired the
Benefit of his Clergy, and the Benefit of the |
|
|
|
Statute; and the Lord Steward replied, He must
have the benefit of his Clergy; he conceived the |
|
|
|
Statute was clear in that Point; and asking the
Opinion of the Judges, they all bowed, as a Mark |
|
|
|
of
their Assent. Then the Lord Steward told the Prisoner, he was discharged,
paying his Fees. |
|

|
After which the Court was dismissed, and the
Lord Steward broke his Staff. |

The author then comments that "Since the
Editor hath omitted the Charge, the Evidence, and |
|
|
|
Defence, it is impossible to make any just
Remarks on this Trial. Indeed, if we are to relie on the |
|
|
|
Observations made by the Solicitor-General, the
Malice was pretty notorious: For it seems this |
|
|
|
Lord and Mr. Hastings, had fought a Duel ten
Years before, and his Lordship was then wounded |
|
|
|
by him. Several other Quarrels had happened
between them afterwards, and his Lordship had |
|
|
|
threatened the Deceased: And, as I apprehend
the Case, this was a Duel of Four of a Side, who |
|
|
|
agreed to go from the Tavern where the Quarrel
began, and fight in the Fields. And the Solicitor |
|
|
|
informs us, that the Witnesses deposed, That my
Lord and another fell upon Hastings at once; |
|
|
|
and his Lordship shortened his Sword, and run
the Deceased through the Head, saying, God |
|
|
|
damn me, I have promised it you, and now you
have it; which, one would think, sufficiently |
|
|
|
discovered the Malice of his Heart; and, had he
been tried by a common Jury, would have gone |
|
|
|
a
great Way to have convicted the Prisoner of Murder. But whether there might
not be |
|
|
|
|
something in that Suggestion of the
Solicitor's, That Peers, being a superior Class of Men, are |
|
|
|
apt to imagine that nothing less than the Blood
of the Offender can atone for an Affront given |
|
|
|
them by a private Gentleman, may require some
Consideration." |

Claim to the Barony of Morley, created 1299 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It
is generally accepted in the standard works on the peerage that the barony of
Morley, |
|
|
|
created by writ of summons in 1299, fell into
abeyance on the death of the 15th baron in 1697. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In
the late 1890s, a man named James Thorne Roe [1844-1918] emerged to claim
this title. In |
|
|
|
the
usual course of such events, his claim was initially referred to the Attorney
General of the |
|
|
|
day
[Sir Richard Webster, later Viscount Alverstone] who reported so strongly
against the claim |
|
|
|
that it was never referred to the House of
Lords Committee for Privileges. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In December 1901, before the Court of Claims
which had convened to hear applications relating |
|
|
|
to
the forthcoming coronation of King Edward VII, Roe unsuccessfully attempted
to claim that |
|
|
|
he
had the right to attend the coronation as the bearer of the Royal Standard of
England and |
|
|
|
to exercise the office of Marshal of Ireland. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the formal opening of Parliament in January
1908, Roe provided himself with the ermine- |
|
|
|
trimmed
robes worn by peers on formal occasions. Just before the royal procession
arrived, he |
|
|
|
entered the House of Lords, having passed the
police and ushers unchallenged and prepared to |
|
|
|
sit with the other peers already present.
However, the sharp-eyed Yeoman Usher of the Black |
|
|
|
Rod
failed to recognise him and summoned the Garter King of Arms, who requested
the man's |
|
|
|
name
and asked him to prove his credentials. Roe replied that he was the Lord de
Morley and |
|
|
|
produced a copy of the original Writ of Summons
issued by Edward I in 1299. Garter King of |
|
|
|
Arms,
knowing that the Barony of de Morley had been in abeyance since 1697, ordered
Roe to |
|
|
|
leave
the House. Roe protested volubly and was thereupon conducted out of the House
by the |
|
|
|
Garter King of Arms and his assistants in full
view of the assembled peers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Roe insisted that he was descended from Sir
John Parker, the eldest of the three sons of Henry |
|
|
|
Parker, who died as 10th Baron Morley in 1556.
It appears, however, that Sir John was born |
|
|
|
out of wedlock and was therefore illegitimate,
thus destroying Roe's claims. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notwithstanding the fact that he was unable to
prove his claim to the peerage, some standard |
|
|
|
reference works gave credence to his claims.
For example, the annual publication "Who's Who" |
|
|
|
included
a lengthy entry for him for some years and, as a result, he appears in the
"Who Was |
|
|
|
Who" volume covering the years 1916-1928. |

Before
he succeeded to the earldom in 1905, this peer was known by the courtesy
title of |
|
|
|
Viscount Boringdon. In October 1903, he was
travelling by sea in the south Pacific on board |
|
|
|
the steamer Ovalau [Ovalau is the name of one of the Fiji islands] when he was
lucky to escape |
|
|
|
with his life. The following account of the
loss of the Ovalau
appeared in the 'Sydney Morning |
|
|
|
Herald' on 3 November 1903:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'[The passengers] stated emphatically that the
experience was awful, and added that they…… |
|
|
|
had not yet fully recovered from the shock. All
the passengers, they stated, were more or less |
|
|
|
terrified at the time owing to the imminent
danger in which all on board found themselves, |
|
|
|
although the captain [Todd] reassured them. It
was not known exactly how the fire started. |
|
|
|
The
first intimation received that an outbreak had occurred was by one of the
crew hurrying |
|
|
|
aft
to one of the officers and crying "Fire!" On going to the fore part
of the vessel one of the |
|
|
|
passengers states that he noticed smoke issuing
from the forehold. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The crew were already at work and a line of
hose was got out with all haste for the purpose of |
|
|
|
pouring water on the smouldering mass. The
outbreak, however, increased rapidly, despite all |
|
|
|
efforts
to check it. The hatches were then replaced, but soon the heat became
intense. There |
|
|
|
was a large quantity of copra in this hold, and
being remarkably inflammable on account of the |
|
|
|
coconut oil it contains, the fire gained a
tenacious hold, and despite all the efforts of the crew |
|
|
|
and the passengers, all of whom lent
assistance, the fire continued to increase in size. It raged |
|
|
|
all
night, and great volumes of black smoke found its way out of the hold and
down aft and |
|
|
|
made it almost impossible to breathe on the
steamer. Soon the deck became intensely hot, the |
|
|
|
pitch began to soften, and then suddenly the
whole deck around the hatchway burst into flame. |
|
|
|
All
this time the vessel was ploughing toward Lord Howe Island [in the Tasman
Sea, about 600 |
|
|
|
km east of the Australian mainland], and all on
board became terribly anxious lest the fire should |
|
|
|
completely envelop the vessel before she could
arrive at the island and allow the passengers to |
|
|
|
effect
a landing. Part of the crew were therefore told off by Captain Todd, who had
been |
|
|
|
working
strenuously the whole time, to get all the boats in readiness for immediate
removal. All |
|
|
|
the other hands on board were combating the
fire, which was making progress aft. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'This was the awful state of affairs as the
steamer hove in sight off the island [i.e. Lord Howe |
|
|
|
Island]. Great tongues of flame and dense
clouds of black smoke from the oily cargo rose high |
|
|
|
above the masts of the ship. As the island was
reached Captain Todd came to the conclusion |
|
|
|
that it was useless to fight the fire any
longer, as it had by this time possession of the greater |
|
|
|
part of the ship, and those on board were
thoroughly exhausted. He therefore ordered all the |
|
|
|
passengers to take to the boats. The firemen in
the hold had stuck heroically to their task of |
|
|
|
keeping steam on the Ovalau, to enable her to make the island. This had been done,
despite |
|
|
|
the awful heat and smoke which filled the
engine-room, almost suffocating them. By great |
|
|
|
perseverance and pluck they had managed to keep
the vessel going. When it was decided to |
|
|
|
abandon the ship the crew were still on the
steamer, and it is surmised that the fire must have |
|
|
|
reached the boiler, as suddenly there was a
large explosion, and burning pieces of wood, scraps |
|
|
|
of iron, and debris generally were whirled past
them. Some of these pieces struck the men. |
|
|
|
When everybody was removed from the steamer she
presented an awful picture. The flames |
|
|
|
spread
from stem to stern, and raged furiously amongst the woodwork. She was
literally a |
|
|
|
roaring furnace, and masses of flame
continually fell from the deck into the water, whilst smoke |
|
|
|
rolled away for miles astern. When the fire was
at its height the vessel seemed to gradually |
|
|
|
settle down. Suddenly there was a terrific
hissing, as the red-hot plates of the hull came into |
|
|
|
contact with the water. Clouds of white steam
rose all around her, and with a fearful noise |
|
|
|
and repeated explosions the whole ship suddenly
disappeared beneath the water. The sea was |
|
|
|
soon strewn with thousands of pieces of charred
wood and debris, which was plainly visible from |
|
|
|
the shore.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The crew and passengers were picked up at Lord
Howe Island and subsequently transferred to |
|
|
|
Sydney. Included in the report is an interview
with Lord Boringdon, which states:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Viscount
Boringdon, who is returning from an excursion to the Solomon Islands when
seen by a |
|
|
|
reporter of the "Herald" on board the
Captain Cook this
morning, said that soon after the |
|
|
|
|
outbreak the passengers of the Ovalau were informed that
there was a fire on board, but owing |
|
|
|
to the presence of mind of Captain Todd and the
officers nobody apprehended any danger |
|
|
|
whatever, and there was not the slightest
alarm. Of course, Lord Boringdon continued, I do not |
|
|
|
know anything about the origin of the fire, but
we were all glad to get ashore safely, and I am |
|
|
|
glad
to say that no one was injured, although we were extremely sorry that the
good ship |
|
|
|
foundered. The scene of the burning Ovalau from the shore after we
had landed was |
|
|
|
|
magnificent, but we all felt grieved at her
destruction.' |
