Henry St.John, 5th Viscount Bolingbroke and 6th
Viscount St. John |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These peerages are descended from Henry St.
John, statesman during the reign of Queen |
|
|
|
|
Anne. The titles are pronounced
"Bullingbrook" and "Sinjin" respectively. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sometime around 1852, the Viscount, just after
he had succeeded to the title, paid a visit |
|
|
|
to London where he met a young girl of 17 named
Ellen Medex. Bolingbroke fell in love with |
|
|
|
her and begged her to marry him. In spite of
her older sister forbidding the union, the |
|
|
|
|
couple left England together and travelled
throughout Europe for some years, but whether |
|
|
|
they were ever actually married remains
doubtful. Upon their return to England, they lived |
|
|
|
|
in various lodging houses rather than at the
family seat at Lydiard Tregoze in Wiltshire. When |
|
|
|
Ellen died in May 1885, she was buried as
Viscountess Bolingbroke. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Until
that time, the various peerages had assumed that Bolingbroke was a bachelor
and that |
|
|
|
the heir to the titles was his kinsman, the
Rev. Maurice Ferdinand St. John, Canon of Gloucester |
|
|
|
Cathedral and Vicar of Kempsford. After the
death of Ellen, he informed the various peerages |
|
|
|
that
he was, in fact, a widower and that he had two sons, Henry and Charles. It
seems that |
|
|
|
editors
of the peerages remained unconvinced and requested copies of the marriage and
birth |
|
|
|
certificates so as to ensure that their
information was correct. For the next ten years or so, |
|
|
|
the editors of the peerages pestered
Bolingbroke for documentary proof, but he declined to |
|
|
|
supply any, with the result that the peerages
eventually ignored the possibility of the marriage |
|
|
|
to Ellen and reinstated Canon St. John as the
heir presumptive. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In 1881, prior to the death of Ellen,
Bolingbroke had returned by himself to Lydiard Tregoze. |
|
|
|
According to the commonly accepted version of
the story, it was there that one afternoon, he |
|
|
|
was out riding in a country lane when his horse
cast a shoe. While it was being adjusted at |
|
|
|
the local blacksmith's he met the smith's
20-year-old daughter, Mary Howard. Impressed by |
|
|
|
her, he offered her the post of housekeeper at
the family seat, but it was not long before she |
|
|
|
became a good deal more. In December 1882, a
son was born; this was Henry, who Bolingbroke |
|
|
|
allowed the world (and the peerage editors) to
think was his son by Ellen Madex. He soon set up |
|
|
|
another establishment in Bath so that he now
lived at Lydiard Tregoze as Viscount Bolingbroke, |
|
|
|
in London with Ellen Medex as Mr and Mrs
Morgan, and at Bath with Mary Howard as Mr and Mrs |
|
|
|
Wilson. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the death of Ellen Medex, he told Mary
Howard that in order to ensure that their son Henry |
|
|
|
became
his heir, he represented him as the son of Ellen Medex, antedating his birth
by two |
|
|
|
years.
A further son Charles was born in November 1885; he too was passed off as
Ellen's son |
|
|
|
and
his age was also antedated, this time by necessity, since he had been born
after Ellen |
|
|
|
Medex's death. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In January 1893, Bolingbroke finally married
Mary Howard in Bath. On the marriage certificate, he |
|
|
|
described himself as 'widower.' The marriage
was kept secret and the couple continued to live in |
|
|
|
Bath as Mr and Mrs Wilson. There, in March
1896, another son, Vernon Henry, was born. The |
|
|
|
Viscount handed his wife the marriage and birth
certificates and gave her strict instructions that |
|
|
|
she not disclose her or her son's identity
until he should be dead. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When the Viscount died in November 1899, it was
assumed that Canon St. John was the rightful |
|
|
|
heir.
After the funeral had been conducted, the late Viscount's solicitors issued a
statement |
|
|
|
which read 'The late Viscount married late in
life, and leaves a widow and a son, the Hon. Vernon |
|
|
|
Henry St. John, who succeeds to the title as
Viscount Bolingbroke. The announcements made in |
|
|
|
some quarters that Canon St. John is the heir
have been made from want of knowledge of the |
|
|
|
true circumstances.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In
March 1922, Vernon petitioned the King to be recognised as Viscount
Bolingbroke and St. |
|
|
|
John. His petition was heard by the House of
Lords Committee for Privileges and the petition was |
|
|
|
upheld. For further reading on this case, I
recommend "Romances of the Peerage" by Horace |
|
|
|
Wyndham (Eveleigh Nash & Grayson, London,
1930). |

Lavinia Fenton, mistress, and later wife, of
the 3rd Duke of Bolton |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following biography of Lavinia Fenton
appeared in the Australian monthly magazine "Parade" |
|
|
|
in its issue for October 1968:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A big, luxuriously appointed coach with an
English ducal crest emblazoned on the door panels |
|
|
|
rolled up to the best inn in the French spa
resort of Aix-en-Provence one September day in |
|
|
|
1751. The annual appearance of My Lord the Duke
of Bolton, with his mistress, parson, valet, |
|
|
|
cook, maid and two huge mastiffs, was something
of an event in the pleasant little town. For at |
|
|
|
least 10 years the duke had been coming to
drink the waters. The dogs and servants sometimes |
|
|
|
changed,
but the mistress and parson never. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'With her delicately rouged and powdered little
face, Lavinia Fenton looked very much the same |
|
|
|
as
when she had been the most bewitching actress on the London stage. And the
parson was |
|
|
|
no longer a mystery to the society of the
various European cities and spas around which the |
|
|
|
Bolton entourage perambulated year after year.
At first it had been thought that my lord was a |
|
|
|
very pious man and took the clergyman with him
to provide spiritual consolation on his travels. |
|
|
|
"No, damme, no!" the duke growled.
"I keep him by me that he may marry me to Miss Fenton |
|
|
|
the instant I hear news that my infernal wife
is dead!" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'On September 21, 1751, [actually 20 October]
when the party once more arrived at the Inn of |
|
|
|
the Golden Pheasant in Aix, the duke found a
bulky missive from London awaiting him. That |
|
|
|
evening, with the parson stammering through the
ceremony in the candle-lot inn parlour, Lavinia |
|
|
|
Fenton
- illegitimate daughter of a coffee house wench, actress and amorous
adventuress - |
|
|
|
became Her Grace the Duchess of Bolton. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
story of Lavinia Fenton was a striking illustration of the rewards of
fidelity, patience and |
|
|
|
good sense. She had been the toast of London
when she snared the infatuated Duke of Bolton |
|
|
|
not only into running away with her, but also
into promising to wed her. Having done so she was |
|
|
|
prepared to wait more than 20 years to become
his duchess, rigidly faithful to her protector and |
|
|
|
abandoning
all the pleasures of love she had tasted so often before. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'There was no hint of this coming magnificence
when Lavinia first saw the light of day in the |
|
|
|
back room of a cheap London coffee house in
1708. Her mother was a maid in the house and her |
|
|
|
probable father was a naval officer named
Beswick who went back to sea a few weeks before |
|
|
|
the child was born. Lieut. Beswick left the
mother a few guineas and instructions that the infant |
|
|
|
was to be named Porteous if a boy and Lavinia
if a girl. He also urged his mistress to "retire into |
|
|
|
the country and resist any more
temptations." Having bequeather this excellent advice he sailed |
|
|
|
away and was
killed in the wars. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Far from seeking rural seclusion, Lavinia's
mother used the money to set up her own coffee |
|
|
|
house at Charing Cross and soon married one of
her admirers, a tradesman named John Fenton. |
|
|
|
Lavinia
was given her stepfather's and she remained at the coffee house until she was
13. By |
|
|
|
then she was already a budding beauty with a
well-formed figure, coquettish dark eyes and a |
|
|
|
gift for singing and dancing that delighted the
fashionable gentlemen who frequented the house. |
|
|
|
Mrs.
Fenton was not averse to her daughter's precocious conquests but, believing
she needed |
|
|
|
a
little more polish, packed her off to a select boarding school. The
experiment in teaching |
|
|
|
Lavinia
Fenton ladylike manners was not successful. Within two years she was back at
the |
|
|
|
coffee shop, after rocking the school to its
sedate foundations. The climax had come when she |
|
|
|
was caught one night entertaining a young
lawyer behind the garden rose bushes. Next day she |
|
|
|
packed her trunk and departed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The beaux of Charing Cross welcomed her back
with open arms and Mrs. Fenton now decided |
|
|
|
that
her daughter had better find a husband as soon as possible to keep her out of
more |
|
|
|
|
mischief. Lavinia, however, had other ideas.
The fine gentlemen might not be prepared to marry |
|
|
|
her, but she knew how to extort a handsome
return for her favours. Rarely was the sharp- |
|
|
|
witted girl deceived in her calculations,
though she could be just as warm-heartedly generous |
|
|
|
as grasping when the occasion arose. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Once when she was not quite 16, she went off
for a month in the country with a Portuguese |
|
|
|
nobleman who wooed her ardently with promises
of jewels, money and a mansion full of |
|
|
|
|
servants. The next time she heard of the
foreign charmer he was in the Fleet debtors' prison, |
|
|
|
disowned by the Portuguese embassy and likely
to languish in his cell indefinitely. Hastening to |
|
|
|
to visit him Lavinia was deeply touched by his
miserable plight as he flung himself at her feet |
|
|
|
and begged for forgiveness. Selling all the
jewels, gowns and geegaws given her by other |
|
|
|
|
admirers, Lavinia raised enough cash to pay his
debts and put him on board a ship for Portugal. |
|
|
|
It did not take her, long to recoup these
charitable losses despite several more mishaps in her |
|
|
|
amorous career. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The momentous hour in Lavinia Fenton's career
came in 1726 when she was 18 years old and |
|
|
|
faced nothing better than the precarious life
of a superior kind of harlot. For years she had |
|
|
|
been entertaining the coffee house patrons by
mimicking the famous actresses of the day and |
|
|
|
singing the latest airs from the Italian opera
house. Among her listeners, one summer evening |
|
|
|
in 1726 was a friend of the managers of the
dilapidated, near-bankrupt little theatre in the |
|
|
|
Haymarket. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A few days later, armed with a letter of
introduction, she arrived at the theatre to join the |
|
|
|
swarm
of secondrate and unemployed actors who hung about the door hoping for
a |
|
|
|
|
temporary engagement. Intrigued by her pretty
face and assured grace, the managers at once |
|
|
|
agreed
to give her a trial in the old melodrama The Orphan. In tragedy Lavinia was a
flop. But |
|
|
|
the story was very different five weeks later
when she appeared as the lively innkeeper's |
|
|
|
|
daughter in Farquhar's comic masterpiece, The
Beaux Stratagem. With all London singing her |
|
|
|
praises if was obvious that the dazzling new
star would soon move on from the scruffy |
|
|
|
|
purlieus of the Haymarket. In 1727 Lavinia
signed a 15/- a week contract with John Rich of |
|
|
|
the theatre in Lincolns Inn Fields, an event
that was to be a turning point in the lives of both |
|
|
|
of them. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Rough, crafty, hard-dealing John Rich was
facing a crisis of dwindling audiences in the teeth |
|
|
|
of intense competition from the famous house in
Drury Lane. Late in 1727 he determined to take |
|
|
|
a gamble on a bundle of tattered manuscripts
that poet John Gay had been hawking unsuccess- |
|
|
|
fully round the London theatres for months. It
was a play with songs and music called The |
|
|
|
Beggar's Opera. And Rich and his fellow
managers had never read anything like it before. Instead |
|
|
|
of the customary ladies and gentlemen the cast
was made up of highwaymen, thieves, cut- |
|
|
|
throats,
gaolers and their haunting, bedraggled doxies. And besides uproariously
parodying all |
|
|
|
the polite conventions of Italian opera the
play was stuffed with deadly satire against Prime |
|
|
|
Minister Walpole and his government.
Nevertheless Rich decided to take the plunge. The result |
|
|
|
was one of the most astonishing successes in
theatrical history. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Beggar's Opera opened on January 29, 1728,
and continued for 62 performances - a run |
|
|
|
absolutely unprecedented on the London stage up
to that time. Rich had hand-picked his |
|
|
|
|
company. But it was Lavinia's Polly Peachum,
the bold highwayman's mistress, who filled the |
|
|
|
house with the thunder of rapturous applause
night after night. There were Lavinia Fenton |
|
|
|
bonnets, fans and gloves. Books of verses were
published about her, her highly mythical "life" |
|
|
|
was written and print shops could not keep pace with the demand for her
engravings. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Meanwhile, planted night after night in his
box throughout the whole season, sat Charles |
|
|
|
|
Paulet, third Duke of Bolton, gazing in rapt
devotion at the gambols of Polly Peachum. His |
|
|
|
|
infatuation became the talk of London. The wits
wagered whether he would one night leap |
|
|
|
on to the stage and cut highwayman MacHeath's
throat out of jealousy. For years the 45- |
|
|
|
year-old duke had lived apart from his cold,
strait-laced duchess, but never before had |
|
|
|
|
scandal suggested that he sought amusement
elsewhere. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Then in June 1728 came the sensation that
staggered London society. The Duke of Bolton |
|
|
|
and
pretty, witty Polly Peachum had run away together. The theatre never saw
Lavinia |
|
|
|
|
Fenton again - though, according to one cynical
observer, she gave the most remarkable |
|
|
|
|
performance of her life in the role of ducal
mistress. Modest, unassuming and completely |
|
|
|
|
faithful despite her passionate nature, Lavinia
continued to live happily with her lord and the |
|
|
|
most vicious gossips could find nothing to say
against her. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Bolton bought her a London house and an estate
in Yorkshire but the couple spent much of |
|
|
|
each year, travelling Europe in style.
Lavinia's belated elevation to the rank of duchess made |
|
|
|
little difference to their mode of existence
and in any case their life as a legally married couple |
|
|
|
was brief. When the duke died in August 1754
his title went to his brother but almost all his |
|
|
|
vast
estates were divided between Lavinia and their children born out of
wedlock. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The bereaved Lavinia was then 46 but she was
still a ripe beauty ready for any amorous |
|
|
|
|
encounter. Dr.Thomas Kelly, a dashing Irish
surgeon at Tunbridge Wells, was reputed to be |
|
|
|
among those fortunate enough to comfort the
duchess in her years of widowhood. It was |
|
|
|
|
among these final whiffs of scandal that
Lavinia Fenton, Duchess of Bolton, died at Greenwich |
|
|
|
on January 24, 1760.' |

The Borthwick Peerage |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Scottish peerage of Borthwick has a very
interesting history, being twice in a state of |
|
|
|
dormancy before being revived. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
following account is a summary of two articles which appeared in 'The Glasgow
Herald' of |
|
|
|
13 July 1869 and 'The Times' of 12 May 1870:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The date of creation of the Borthwick peerage
was for many years thought to have been in the |
|
|
|
early years of the fifteenth century. The
greatest authority on the Scottish peerage during the |
|
|
|
eighteenth
century, Sir Robert Douglas, in his "Peerage of Scotland" [1764]
gives a date of |
|
|
|
"before 1430." However, during the
hearings before the House of Lords Committee for Privileges |
|
|
|
it was established that the peerage must have
been created between 1450 and 1455. Burke's |
|
|
|
Peerage
gives the date as 12 June 1452, while a contemporary writer known as the
Auchinleck |
|
|
|
Chronicler quoted in Tytler's 'History of
Scotland' gives a date of 27 March 1452. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Whatever
the exact date was, the peerage descended in an unbroken line from father to
son |
|
|
|
until the death of the 9th Lord Borthwick
around 1675, when it became dormant. In 1727, Henry |
|
|
|
Borthwick was served as the heir male general
of the 1st Lord Borthwick, based on his descent |
|
|
|
from Alexander Borthwick, a younger son of the
3rd Lord. Accordingly, Henry assumed the title |
|
|
|
of 14th Lord Borthwick and voted in the
elections of Scottish Representative Peers between |
|
|
|
1727
and 1762, when he was ordered by the House of Lords to cease voting until he
had |
|
|
|
|
established his right to the title, which he
did on 8 April 1762. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When Henry, the 14th Lord, died in 1772, the
title once again became dormant. On his death, |
|
|
|
the
next heir was his cousin, Patrick Borthwick, who died a month later. Patrick
left a son, |
|
|
|
Archibald
Borthwick, who at the time of his father's death was a merchant living
at |
|
|
|
|
Christiansand in Norway. Archibald took no
steps to return to Scotland or to make any claim to |
|
|
|
the
title until 1808, when he petitioned the House of Lords to be recognised as
the 16th Lord |
|
|
|
Borthwick. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In
the meantime, however, another claimant had appeared in the person of a John
Borthwick of |
|
|
|
Crookston, whose argument was that the whole
line of the 10th Lord Borthwick, known as the |
|
|
|
Borthwicks
of Soltray, was extinct. He therefore claimed the title as being the
direct |
|
|
|
|
descendant
of a younger son of the 1st Lord. The claimant produced documentary
evidence |
|
|
|
which
purported to prove his descent from a younger son of the 1st Lord, but the
Lord |
|
|
|
|
Advocate
of the time expressed doubts as to their genuineness, and after proceedings
had |
|
|
|
been taken in the House of Lords, that body
ordered in January 1777 that John Borthwick should |
|
|
|
not take the title of Lord Borthwick until such
time as he had proved his right thereto. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In
1808, Archibald Borthwick returned to present his petition. In the following
year, John |
|
|
|
|
Borthwick of Crookston, son of the 1777
claimant, applied to be allowed to oppose the claim, |
|
|
|
alleging that the Alexander Borthwick
previously mentioned above, and from whom Archibald |
|
|
|
Borthwick claimed descent, was illegitimate.
This provided the House of Lords with a problem, |
|
|
|
since they had already, in 1762, admitted the
claim of Henry, 14th Lord Borthwick, based on |
|
|
|
his pedigree which the House of Lords had
accepted. They therefore appointed a committee |
|
|
|
to
look for precedents but nothing happened until 1812, when Borthwick of
Crookston again |
|
|
|
presented a petition for the peerage, arguing
that Alexander was illegitimate and that his |
|
|
|
|
descendants were not therefore entitled to the
peerage. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The case was heard in April 1814, when
Archibald Borthwick proved his descent from Alexander, |
|
|
|
younger
son of the 3rd Lord, from whom the 10th Lord has also claimed descent in
1762. |
|
|
|
|
However, during the course of evidence, it
became apparent that the pedigree of the 10th Lord |
|
|
|
had omitted one generation. Following the
discovery of this error, in June 1814, the House of |
|
|
|
Lords allowed Borthwick of Crookston to attempt
to prove Alexander's illegitimacy. This he |
|
|
|
tried to do by reference to a document produced
from his family's files. However, Archibald |
|
|
|
died in 1815 before the claim could be
completed, and the question then remained in abeyance |
|
|
|
until 1867. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the death of Archibald, 16th Lord
Borthwick, the right to the title descended to his son, |
|
|
|
Patrick, 17th Lord Borthwick. After his death
in 1840, he was succeeded by his eldest son, |
|
|
|
Archibald, who died in 1863, to be succeeded in
turn by his younger brother Cunninghame |
|
|
|
|
Borthwick, 19th Lord Borthwick. In 1867,
Cunninghame Borthwick was confident that he could |
|
|
|
disprove the authenticity of the document
relied upon by Borthwick of Crookston in the 1814 |
|
|
|
petition, and accordingly he revived his late
grandfather's claim. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The case commenced before the House of Lords
Committee for Privileges in July 1869. Sir |
|
|
|
|
Roundell Palmer, later 1st Earl of Selborne,
was counsel for the applicant. Palmer attacked |
|
|
|
the authenticity of the document tendered in
1814, contending that it was a forgery. He |
|
|
|
|
pointed out that the document had not been
produced in the original 1762 case or in the |
|
|
|
|
subsequent challenge by John Borthwick in 1777.
Further, the document had been produced |
|
|
|
from
Borthwick of Crookston's own family files, and, if genuine, surely it would
have been |
|
|
|
|
produced
in the earlier cases? In the 1814 case, it had been Borthwick of
Crookston's |
|
|
|
|
intention to rely upon the words filius naturalis which were
used by the 3rd Lord Borthwick |
|
|
|
to describe his son, Alexander, and which,
according to Borthwick of Crookston, proved that |
|
|
|
Alexander was a natural [i.e. illegitimate] son
of the 3rd Lord. However, it was quickly |
|
|
|
|
shown that the term filius
naturalis was, at the time of the alleged
document, used to |
|
|
|
|
designate sons of the body as distinguished
from sons by adoption. The Committee pointed |
|
|
|
out
that this form of words was still prevalent in the current time in the
ecclesiastical |
|
|
|
|
courts. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As a result of its hearings, the Committee of
Privileges found, on 5 May 1870, that Cunninghame |
|
|
|
Borthwick was entitled to the Borthwick peerage. |

Alfred Charles Bossom, Baron Bossom [L] |

|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Before being ennobled, Alfred Bossom sat in the
House of Commons as member for Maidstone |
|
|
|
between 1931 and 1959. Not long after being
first elected, his wife and eldest son were killed |
|
|
|
in a plane crash. The following [edited] report
appeared in "The Irish Times" of 28 July 1932:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Three
people - the wife and son of an M.P. and a prince - were killed last night
when their |
|
|
|
plane crashed at Farnham, Surrey. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'They were Mrs. [Emily] Bossom, wife of Mr.
A[lfred] Bossom, M.P. for Maidstone; her son, Mr. |
|
|
|
Bruce Bossom, and Prince Otto Erbach-Fürstenau. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The crash occurred at 6 p.m. on a cruising
flight from Heston. The young prince was a friend |
|
|
|
of Mr. and Mrs. Bossom, and had been staying
with them as their guest. Mr. Bruce Bossom was |
|
|
|
acting as pilot. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr. Alfred Bossom dashed to the scene as soon
as he heard of the accident. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A friend told a reporter that the party were
just having a flight around, with no destination in |
|
|
|
mind. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In the case of all three it is believed that
death was instantaneous. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
three bodies were mutilated so badly as to be almost unrecognisable. Mr.
Bossom was |
|
|
|
identified by his pilot's licence, and Prince
Otto by the name "Otto" on his cigarette case. Mrs. |
|
|
|
Bossom's
body was found some distance from the others, and her identity was only known
as |
|
|
|
she left Heston with her son. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
circumstances of the accident are at present unexplained, but it is stated
that the |
|
|
|
|
machine, for no apparent reason, suddenly
appeared to be in difficulties and crashed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Prince Otto was aged twenty-three [he was born
22 June 1909], and came from a very |
|
|
|
|
distinguished German family. His father is still alive. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The bodies were found several hundred feet
from the wreckage of the 'plane, and were widely |
|
|
|
separated from each other. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Farnham police were notified that an
aeroplane had been seen to fall, and a number of |
|
|
|
officers at once searched for the machine. It
had crashed on Hankley, near Churt. The spot |
|
|
|
is an isolated one, and the nearest houses are
about a mile away. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr. Alfred Bossom, M.P., arrived at Farnham
mortuary last night, and identified the bodies of |
|
|
|
his wife and son. He appeared overwhelmed with
grief and stunned by the tragedy when he |
|
|
|
reached
the little town where the bodies had been carried. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The machine apparently passed through some
very stormy weather after leaving Heston, but |
|
|
|
it was comparatively calm when the crash
occurred. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'An eye-witness said - I saw an aeroplane
flying at a good height, and it disappeared into a |
|
|
|
cloud. Very shortly afterwards it came out
again, and something seemed to have happened to |
|
|
|
the wings. It crashed to earth. The three
occupants were flung out of the machine while it |
|
|
|
was falling. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr. Bruce Bossom, who was 21 years of age [he
was born 25 March 1911], recently stated |
|
|
|
that he was casually employed by a firm at
Heston. He had had considerable experience of |
|
|
|
flying, and his ambition was to break the
Australian or South African records or to cross the |
|
|
|
Atlantic. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the subsequent inquest, the jury returned
verdicts of "death by misadventure." |
