		John Bagwell, MP for Cashel 1801-1802
		"The Morning Post" of 8 March 1806:-
		'It is with great concern we state the following account received from Exeter by Wednesday's
		post: On Tuesday afternoon, a melancholy incident happened on the road between this city
		[i.e. Exeter] and Exmouth, at that part where the road from Clyst and Newcourt join that
		between Topsham and Topsham Bridge. As Lieut. Col. Bagwell, of the 6th Dragoons, was riding
		on a party of pleasure, with some other officers of his acquaintance, his horse suddenly took
		fright, and after galloping off with great fury, threw his rider with such force, that it fractured
		his skull most dreadfully, and killed him on the spot. Medical assistance was procured in a few
		minutes, but it was too late to be of service. The body was removed to Topsham, where the
		Coroner held an Inquest, with returned a verdict of Accidental Death. The Lieutenant-Colonel
		was in the prime of life, and universally beloved and esteemed by the whole regiment, as well
		as by all who knew him. He is the son of John Bagwell Esq., Member of Parliament for the
		county of Tipperary, and brother to the Representative in Parliament for the borough of
		Clonmell, in Ireland.'
		Robert Mackreth. MP for Castle Rising 1774-1784 and for
		Ashburton 1784-1802
		Mackreth became an MP in most unusual circumstances. The right to vote in the
		constituency of Castle Rising was vested in the holders of 'burgage tenements', most of
		which were owned by the Earls of Orford.
		In 1774, Orford, who had just recovered from a bout of insanity, was asked whom he wished
		to nominate as the potential member for Castle Rising. He nominated Robert Mackreth, who
		was a waiter and billiard marker at his club. However, since he had not been able to supply
		his candidate's Christian name, the election was declared void. But Orford persisted in his
		nomination, and with Mackreth being able to supply his own Christian name, a fresh election
		was held and Mackreth prevailed.
		By 1781, Mackreth had used his position as an MP to build a considerable fortune as a
		money-lender used by aristocratic spendthrifts. A problem arose in 1786 when James Fox
		Lane pleaded before the Master of the Rolls that Mackreth had defrauded him of his
		inheritance, worth £1300 a year, while he was still a minor. Mackreth was ordered to pay
		£20,000, a judgment confirmed on appeal to the House of Lords, which further imposed on
		Mackreth the highest costs ever awarded in such a case.
		Six years later, Mackreth ran into Sir John Scott (later the Earl of Eldon) who had been Fox
		Lane's counsel. Mackreth called him 'a liar and  a scoundrel' and challenged him to a
		duel. Scott refused to accommodate him, instead preferring to obtain an indictment against
		Mackreth, who was fined £100 and imprisoned for six weeks.
		These occasional accidents failed to impede Mackreth's parliamentary career. In 1784 he
		was elected for Ashburton which he served with distinction until 1802, having been knighted
		in 1795.
		Francis Beattie, MP for Cathcart 1942-1945
		Beattie was killed in a car accident in December 1945. The following report of his death
		appeared in 'The Irish Times' of 29 December 1945:-
		Mr. Francis Beattie, M.P. for Cathcart, Glasgow, was killed yesterday, when his car skidded
		into a ditch and burst into flames on the ice-bound Kilmarnock to Glasgow road.
		'The accident occurred on a lonely part of the road over the Fenwick Moor, between
		Loganswell and the Stewarton road junction. The car was travelling from Mr. Beattie's home at
		Dundonald towards the city when it skidded. It went right across the road, and was hit by a
		heavy lorry travelling in the opposite direction. The woman driver of the car, Miss Jemima
		Hastie, of Troon, is in a critical condition in the Victoria Infirmary. Both occupants of the car
		were thrown clear, but Mr. Beattie was dead when picked up. The body showed no signs of
		burns. The fire brigade were called to extinguish the flames which enveloped the car when the
		petrol tank exploded. The rear part of the car was completely burned out.'
		Nathaniel Sneyd, MP for Cavan 1801-1826
		Before his service in the House of Commons in London, Sneyd had already represented
		Carrick and Cavan County in the Irish House of Commons. He made a career as a wine
		merchant, and "Sneyd Claret" was famous throughout Ireland during his lifetime. After retiring
		from the combined House of Commons, having represented Cavan County for 25 years, he
		was assassinated in a Dublin street in 1833 by a homicidal maniac named John Mason.
		The following report of the assassination is taken from the "Aberdeen Journal" of 7 August
		1833:-
		'Horrible Occurrence
		'Dublin, July 30 - One of the most horrible outrages which has ever occurred in this city was
		perpetrated yesterday, between two and three o'clock, on the person of Nathaniel Sneyd,
		Esq., of the highly respectable firm of Sneyd, French and Barton, wine merchants. Mr. Sneyd
		was accompanying some ladies to the Bank of Ireland, to shew them the interior of that
		establishment, a privilege which none but a Bank Director possesses, when he was met,
		near the East India Tea Warehouse, in Westmoreland Street, by a person named Mason, who
		immediately placed a pistol close to his forehead, and discharged it. The ball grazed the left
		side of Mr. Sneyd's forehead, and with the violence of the concussion, he fell on the
		flagway. Mason looked for a second or two on his fallen victim, and then stooping, placed
		the pistol, which was four-barrelled, to the upper part of his head, and discharged the
		contents of the second barrel, which most unfortunately took effect. A vast quantity of
		blood flowed from the wound. Mason threw the pistol from him, exclaiming at the same time,
		"Ah! I have done for you." The wretched man was instantly secured, and dragged off to
		Fleet Street watch-house. A crowd of persons immediately rushed to the spot, many of
		whom recognized Mr. Sneyd, and conveyed him to Messrs. Hoy and Kinslagh's medical
		establishment, Westmoreland Street, when the assistance of the first medical gentlemen
		in Dublin was procured immediately. Mr. Sneyd never spoke from the time he received the
		first fire of the assassin, but the agonized motion of his limbs showed but too plainly the
		sufferings he was undergoing; and he died next morning. Mr. Sneyd was for a number of
		years representative for the county of Cavan, on conservative principles - Mason appeared
		to be a low sized young man, about 28 years of age, with dark hair and whiskers, pale
		complexion, with an incoherent expression about his eyes. His demeanour was that of a
		man fixed in his purpose, and who was prepared to meet all the consequences of any act
		he might have committed.'
		The "Newcastle Courant" of 7 September 1833 contains this report of Mason's trial:-
		'In Dublin on Tuesday week [i.e. 27 August], John Mason was placed at the bar, charged
		with the murder of Mr. Sneyd, and pleaded guilty. His counsel, however, suggested that his
		plea could not be received, on the ground of insanity, and that the jury were to try whether
		the prisoner was or was not of sound mind. Several witnesses, some of them medical men,
		who had known the prisoner, said he had been in a deranged state of mind since 1821, in
		the spring of which year it appeared he was seized with a violent epileptic fit one night
		whilst at his prayers on going to bed, and his mind had not been in a proper state since
		that period; that he had been in a weak state of mind from his infancy; and that he had
		been twice confined in a lunatic asylum. His brother, the Rev.T.Mason, also deposed that
		about 5 weeks before the assassination of Mr. Sneyd he saw his brother with a four-
		barrelled pistol, when he used threatening language against some parties, in consequence
		of which he applied to a magistrate to have his brother confined, but the magistrate
		refused to interfere. Judge Burton charged the jury at length, and at seven o'clock the
		issue was sent up, when they immediately found that "John Mason was not sound of
		mind when he pleaded guilty." '
		Mason was later imprisoned for life in the Richmond Lunatic Asylum.
		Joseph Gillis Biggar, MP for Cavan 1874-1885 and Cavan West 1885-1890
		In March 1883, Biggar found himself in court defending an action for breach of promise
		brought against him by a Miss Fanny Hyland. A full report of the trial can be found in The
		Times of 9 March 1883.
		Although no reference is made to it in the report of the trial, the story goes that, when
		Biggar had made the alleged proposal to Miss Hyland, he sealed it with the gift of a parrot.
		When he subsequently broke off the alleged engagement, he sued Miss Hyland for the return
		of the parrot. At the trial, Miss Hyland had been awarded £400, but she declared that she
		would rather have kept the parrot.
		A further story, for which I have no corroborative evidence, is that, on another occasion,
		Biggar spoke in court of a number of impediments which stood in the way of a proposed
		marriage to a cabaret dancer, Fay Sinclair. When asked what these impediments were, Biggar
		replied 'Four illegitimate children.' 'Is the mother still alive?' asked the judge, to which Biggar
		responded 'Yes, m'lud. All four are.'
		Joseph Firth Bottomley Firth, MP for Chelsea 1880-1885 and Dundee 1888-1889
		Firth died of sunstroke whilst on holidays in Switzerland. Initially, I thought that dying from
		sunstroke in Switzerland was about as likely as being drowned in a flash flood in the Atacama
		Desert, but when I checked on Swiss weather records, I was somewhat surprised to find
		that the record high temperature in Switzerland is	41.5° C
		The following (edited) report of his death is taken from the [Middlesbrough] 'North-Eastern
		Daily Gazette' of 5 September 1889:-
		'Sir George Morrison, Town Clerk of Leeds and brother-in-law to Mr. J.P. Bottomley Firth,
		M.P. for Dundee.....received a telegram yesterday afternoon giving the melancholy intelligence
		that Mr. Firth had died suddenly whilst spending his holidays in Switzerland, the cause of
		death being sunstroke.....Enquiries at the London residence of Mr. Firth elicited information
		that, in company with Mrs. Firth and their two children, he left London about three weeks ago
		on his annual holiday. At the outset a visit was paid to Leeds, where Mrs, Firth's father....
		resides. Here the children were left with another relative, and Mr. and Mrs. Firth paid a brief
		visit to Dundee, leaving there to proceed to Switzerland. Nothing further was known of the
		hon. member's movements. For some time Mr. Firth had complained of feeling unwell, and his
		health had been somewhat shaken by anxieties attendant on his official position on the London
		County Council, and the journey to Switzerland was undertaken in the hope that the change
		would restore him to his usual health......'
		Nigel David Jones, later [2005] Baron Jones of Cheltenham, MP for Cheltenham
		1992-2005
		Jones was injured, and one of his assistants killed, when attacked by a man wielding a samurai
		sword in his constituency office in January 2000. The following report appeared in 'The Times'
		of 29 January 2000:-
		'A man wielding a samurai sword killed an MP's assistant who was trying to defend Nigel Jones,
		the Liberal Democrat member for Cheltenham, in an attack during a constituency surgery
		yesterday.
		'Mr. Jones, 51, was recovering in Cheltenham General Hospital last night from severe cuts to
		his hands, inflicted as he tried to fend off the 6ft tall attacker. His condition was said to be
		satisfactory but he was being kept in overnight for observation.
		'The attack took place as Mr. Jones met constituents at the Liberal Democrats' office in a
		side street off Cheltenham's busy High Street. Witnesses described how Mr. Jones fled his
		terraced office with blood pouring from his wounds and took shelter in a nearby guitar shop,
		where he was given first aid. The manager of another shop then tried to help the MP's
		assistant, Andrew Pennington, a councillor in his mid-40s, who had at least ten wounds,
		including a stab wound to his stomach. He died as David Copson cradled him in his arms.
		Graham North, 35, a lorry driver, said his friend Mr. Copson had tried to help the MP's
		assistant as he bled to death: "I saw David dash into the MP's office seconds after Nigel Jones
		ran out clutching his hands and screaming for help. He was in there a little while, but then he
		came out as white as a ghost."
		"He said: 'I couldn't do anything for him. He died in my arms. He had a gaping wound in his
		lower stomach and there was a lot of blood.' He was distraught."
		'Within ten minutes of the attack police arrested a 49-year-old local man in a shopping
		street a short distance away. Witnesses said he was blood-stained and carrying a Japanese
		sword under his black overcoat.'
		The killer was a former civil engineer named Robert Ashman, who, in February 2001, was
		found to be unfit to stand trial and was committed to the Broadmoor secure mental hospital.
		In September 2002 Ashman was deemed to have sufficiently recovered to enable him to be
		tried. At that trial, which took place in April 2003, Ashman admitted, on the ground of
		diminished responsibility, the manslaughter of Andrew Pennington, and was returned to the
		mental facility, from which he can be freed only on the orders of the Home Secretary or a
		tribunal chaired by a senior judge.
		Andrew Pennington was posthumously awarded the George Medal in 2001. The George Medal
		recognises the highest acts of courage performed by civilians in the United Kingdom and the
		Commonwealth, thus making it the civilian equivalent of the Victoria Cross.
		The citation of Pennington's George Medal reads:
		"For his actions in saving the life of a man who had been attacked by another man armed with
		a samurai sword. On 28 January, 2000, a Member of Parliament was holding a surgery for his
		constituents at his office in Cheltenham. Mr. Andrew Pennington was assisting him when the
		receptionist showed a man into the office. The MP invited the man, who was wearing a full-
		length overcoat buttoned up to the neck, to sit down but the man declined and stood in
		front of the MP while he read a letter on which he had been asked to advise. A short
		conversation took place between them, whilst Mr. Pennington looked on, but then the man
		began to talk nonsensically and without warning reached into his coat and drew out a long
		curved sword. He stood with the sword raised above his head in both hands, and as the MP
		stood up, lowered it, pointing the sword tip at the MP's midriff. At this point, Mr. Pennington
		ran to the door of the office and called to the receptionist to get help.
		"Suddenly the man lunged forward and thrust the sword at the MP who managed to deflect
		it with his left arm before grabbing the blade with both hands. The man tried to pull the sword
		from the MP's grip and he fell face down onto the sofa with the sword beneath him. The man
		fell on top of him and struggled to wrestle the sword free without success. Mr. Pennington
		then hit the man from behind and dragged him off the MP, telling the MP to get away. The
		MP managed to escape and ran out of the office to summon help, but the man got hold of
		the sword again. A violent struggle then took place in which Mr. Pennington tried to restrain
		the man but was stabbed repeatedly with the sword and was fatally wounded. Mr. Pennington
		died shortly afterwards from his injuries and the man was later arrested."
