The Vandeleur family of Kilrush (Cill Rois), county Clare, were originally Dutch and were responsible for the layout of the town in the 19th century. The walled garden on the Vandeleur estate is now a tourist attraction. An Account of Ireland Statistical and Political, by Edward Wakefield, London: 1812 (Vol. I, p 630) in a section on Kilrush refers unfavourably to a member of the Vandeleur family in 1809 refusing to allow the development of docks for ship repairs at a

reasonable rent. However, the Vandeleur family (John Scott Vandeleur) is mentioned in A History of the Irish Working Class by Peter Beresford Ellis (Gollancz 1972, Pluto Press 1985) in association with the setting up of a co-operative farm circa 1830 at the 618-acre property Ralahine. From the Clare County Directory of 1862:

Members of Parliament for the County. Colonel CROFTON MOORE VANDELEUR, D.L. (1859), Kilrush House, Kilrush; Carlton Club, London, S.W. FRANCIS MACNAMARA CALCUTT, esq. (1860), St. Catherine's, Ennistymon; Reform Club, London, S.W.

and, in the list of magistrates: Vandeleur, Col. Crofton Moore, D.L., Colonel of the Clare Militia, Kilrush House. Kilrush;

There was later some trouble on the estate. The Vandeleur Evictions in Kilrush 1888 (The Plan of Campaign) by Noel J Mulqueen, 1988. From the New York Times of Wed 18 Jul 1888: “THE WAR ON IRISH TENANTS; A THOUSAND PEOPLE TO BE DRIVEN FROM HOME. EVICTIONS TO BE MADE BY THE AID OF MILITARY AND POLICE LONDON, July 17. – Evictions on the Vandeleur estate in West Clare will begin tomorrow, and this will not tend to soothe the present feverish state of part feeling. One hundred and fourteen families, representing 1,000 people, are to be turned out of their homes for refusing to pay what they deem exorbitant rents. The evicting force consists of 500 dragoons and infantry, in addition to the constabulary, and the preparations are elaborate as they might be for a small war. All the houses are barricaded, but the police are provided with battering rams. Parish priests are actively at work counseling submission, and it is hoped that there be no blood shed. The arrears of rent amount to £80,000. This large sum, however, is mainly due to the arbitrary raising of rentals in 1874, which most of the tenants have never been able to pay. In consequence the late Col. Vandeleur was defeated for Parliament mainly by his tenantry. Those who paid the increased rents became impoverished, and finally all the tenants joined the plan of campaign. ...”

SIR DAVID HARREL PUBLIC SERVICE IN IRELAND

Sir David Harrel died yesterday at Bath at the age of 98. A faithful, wise, and generous servant of the public, he was also among the most capable servants of the Crown in Ireland. He was born on March 25, 1841, his father being David Harrel, of Mount Pleasant, Co. Down. He was trained in seamanship at the Royal Naval School, Gosport, but for a time entered the merchant service, making several voyages to and from the Antipodes in the employment of one of the great shipping companies of those days. At the end of the Crimean War he was given, instead of a naval cadetship, a nomination to the Royal Irish Constabulary, then a new force.

He served with it from 1859 to 1879, in which year he was appointed a Resident Magistrate for County Mayo. Four years later he was appointed Chief Commissioner of the Dublin Metropolitan Police, and it was during this term of office that the Invincibles were brought to justice for the murders of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr. Burke.

He was Under-Secretary for Ireland from 1893 to 1902, when he resigned because of ill-health, which fortunately proved only temporary. ...

Harrel was a thorough Irishman and a fine Irish gentleman. He understood the people, and they knew and appreciated him accordingly. He used to tell how when he left the resident magistracy which he had held during the wild days of the land war, enjoying the full esteem and affection of the people among whom he adjudicated, he was given a glorious send-off by the people of Ballaghaderreen, the Land League band playing him to the station. His understanding of the people, as well as his wisdom and broad tolerance, would have been invaluable in an Irish settlement. Perhaps it was his own modesty which prevented his occupying a higher position than that of Under-Secretary. ...

Honours came to him: he was sworn of the Irish Privy Council, and was created G.C.B., G.B.E., and K.C.V.O.

He married in 1863 Juliana, daughter of the Rev. R. N. Horner, and had three sons and two daughters. One of his sons was formerly Assistant Commissioner of Dublin Metropolitan Police. Lady Harrel

Spire. There are references in several Australian newspapers to the elopement of the wife of Mr Joseph Bouch of Adelaide with a Catholic priest. For example The Moreton Bay Courier of Sat 19 Aug 1848, p3 had: HUNT FOR A WIFE.-We perceive that Mr. Joseph Bouch has returned to the colony, by the Juno, after a long and fruitless pursuit of his faithless partner (Mrs. B.), with whom, on his departure for England, he had left a power-of attorney, which gave her control over his real and personal effects. During his absence, to the surprise of all who knew her, she threw off all moral restraint, and is said to have formed an illicit liaison with a young Catholic student, and the guilty pair having determined to leave the colony

Names Inscriptions Notes collusively, Mrs. Bouch gradually realized all her husband's convertible property, and fled to Sydney. In the meantime, Mr. Bouch returned from England, in the David Malcolm, and as soon as he could be persuaded of the realities of his case, he purchased a small vessel, and went in pursuit. He entered Sydney harbour as the wife and paramour were leaving for New Zealand, and contrived to get a passage on board the same vessel. The scene occurring on board may be better conceived than described, but all attempts at reconciliation or explanation were unsuccessful, and unfortunately, the law afforded him no redress. On reaching New Zealand, she eluded his vigilance, and took a passage back to Sydney under an assumed name. Thither he followed without delay, but again he was doomed to disappointment, as he learnt that she and the partner of her fight had set sail for England, taking with them the property he was so anxious to recover. We must not forget to mention one ruse practised by this abandoned woman in order to conceal the abstraction of plate and jewellery, left by her husband in his deed-box, at the Bank of South Australia, and to which, under the power-of-attorney, she had free access.

From A Winter in Mentone by Augustus J C Hare (describing a sojourn there 1860-1861): The principal English physician is Dr. Bennett. Dr. Maclimont is an excellent Homoeopathic practitioner who frequently passes the winter at Mentone; the Italian Dr. Bottini is as highly spoken of for his skill and experience, as for the kindness and charities which have so justly endeared him to the native population. The British Journal of Homoeopathy vol XXII pp93- 109 includes an article on the dispute between Drs Newman and MacLimont arising from the latter’s application to a post at a homoeopathic hospital in Bath. The article alludes to (but does not explain) a prior dispute between Dr John Ozanne, a homeopathic doctor to the military forces on Guernsey, and Dr MacLimont.

The death of Isabel Barrett was registered 1862/Q4 Epsom. No records for Samuel Barrett and family can be found after this. The inscription refers to ‘the sanguinary battle’, possibly those authorising the monuments not allowing the use of the word ‘bloody’. The Battle of Chillianwallah took place on 13 Jan 1849 as part of the Second Sikh War. It involved 12,000 British and Bengalis with 66 guns commanded by General Sir Hugh Gough against 35,000 Sikhs with 65 guns commanded by Shere Singh. The result was inconclusive. There were heavy casualties on the British side and accusations of incompetent leadership by General Gough led to his replacement by Lord Napier who arrived after the war was ended in the Battle of Gujerat. A poem by George Meredith entitled Chillianwallah has, as its first verse (of six):

COLONEL C. M. BROWNE Our Madras correspondant reports that Colonel C. M. Browne,

Director of the Southern Circle of the Survey of India, has died of heart failure in the United Services Club at Bangalore. He was President of the club, and a most popular officer throughout his area.

Colonel Charles Michael Browne, C.M.G., D.S.O., was born on November 26, 1876, son of the late Lieutenant-Colonel C. M. Browne. He was first commissioned to the Royal Engineers at the close of 1897. He served in the Waziristan blockade operation in 1901-2, receiving the medal and clasp, and for his share in the operations against the Darwesh Khels in 1902 he was mentioned in dispatches and made D.S.O. Soon afterwards he joined the Indian Survey Department as an assistant superintendent, reaching the rank of deputy superintendent in 1910. On the outbreak of the Great War he reverted to military duty and was sent with the Indian troops to the Western Front and later to Near and Middle Eastern theatres of war. Colonel Browne was mentioned in dispatches four times, was made C.M.G. and brevet lieutenant-colonel. He was also honoured with the knighthood of the Legion of Honour and the Cross of St. Anne. After five full years of service under arms he reverted to the Survey Department and became Director of the Southern Circle, with headquarters at Bangalore. He married Isabel, daughter of the late Gilbert Lovell Nicolay, and they had a son. Mrs Browne died in 1916. The ‘cross of St. Anne’ mentioned arose from his participation in the Russian Relief Force in 1919. A London auction house was offering for sale the School of Military Engineering Fowke’s Medal awarded to C M Browne in 1899.

It is our melancholy duty to report the death of the Rev. Walter Hovenden, secretary of the Bengal Military Orphan School. He died on board the Sea Horse, pilot schooner, on the 30th. Sept., having embarked with Dr. Griffiths on board a steamer which Government had ordered to carry him down on the 27th, as the only remaining chance of recovery from continued fever.

Mr. Hovenden was a man of good birth, liberal education, and sincere piety. In the discharge of his various duties as chaplain, secretary, and superintendent, his conscientious care and assiduous attention were all that could be desired. His loss is deeply felt by the female Wards, who were treated by him, and by Mrs. Hovenden, with almost parental tenderness. When the services of Mr. Hovenden were engaged in England, upwards of seven years ago, it was understood that his wife should exercise a certain degree of control over the girls and their mistresses; nut the constancy and kindness of Mrs. Hovenden’s gratuitous superintendence went far beyond the latter, or even the spirit of that agreement.

As a mark of respect to his memory, the managers have resolved

to wear mourning for a month.Calcutta Courier, Oct. 5. In the 1851 census at 1 Waterloo Terrace, Southampton: Everina Hovenden, aged 64, widow, lodger, annuitant, born in Ireland.

From the Supplement to The London Gazette of 1 Jan 1965 (Issue 43529) p12 in a list of OBE awards: Humphrey Augustine ARTHINGTON-DAVY, Esq., M.B.E., Principal, Commonwealth Relations Office. Humphrey Arthington-Davey was sometime British Representative in Male, Maldive Islands. National Archives, Kew FCO 107/229: Tonga: valedictory despatch from Humphrey Arthington-Davy, British High Commissioner. From Diplomatic wanderings: from Saigon to the South Seas by Bill Cordiner (2003) pp 266-268: We also lost another good friend a few days before the Queen’s birthday party of 1993, one of Tonga’s best-known personalities, Humphrey Arthington-Davy. Before leaving for the South Seas, a well-meaning colleague had ‘warned’ me that I might have a problem with Humphrey, who had retired as high commissioner in Tonga in 1980. As a bachelor with no remaining relatives, he had preferred to remain in the ‘Friendly Islands’ where he had made many friends. The king had leased him a piece of land outside the town an on it he built a small house and created a shady garden.... Humphrey died quite suddenly during a course of medical treatment in Auckland. He was 73. He had told me that he thought his days were numbered but it was still a sad shock to us all. When the crown prince of Tonga heard, he wanted him to have a military funeral befitting a former officer of the Indian Army, and burial in the royal cemetery next to the high commission. Such a final Tongan tribute would have been most appropriate and deserving, but that had not been Humphrey’s wish. His ashes were scattered in England.” The ‘Arthington Davy Fund’ is administered by Trinity College, Cambridge: “Students, born in Tonga of Tongan parents, who have already taken a first University degree and who wish to engage in post-graduate study at any University in the world, are eligible to be considered for an award to cover the cost or part of the cost of such study, the award being conditional on the applicant’s acceptance for such a course by the chosen University. Preference is to be given to those proposing to engage in study or research in subjects likely to contribute significantly to the development of Tonga. Awards are made from the Arthington-Davy Fund, generously set up

descriptions, and pictures of Manoir William-Pendeleath-Christie, at St Jean-sur-Richelieu (south-east of Montréal). It is also known as Manoir Christie and Manoir Springfield. From Dictionary of Candaina Biography Online : Perhaps as early as 1816 Plenderleath moved to Montreal, where he may have lived as a member of the Christie household. That year he filed suit against his half-brother Napier Christie Burton to collect the unpaid balance of the legacy of £1,500 sterling left to him by his father. Some time before 1820 he married Elizabeth McGinnis, the sister of Alexander McGinnis, a trader between Bristol and Dominica. After she died he remarried, taking as his wife Amelia Martha Bowman on 30 March 1835 in Montreal. Little is known of his early years in Montreal except that he acted as executor for the estates of several members of his first wife’s family and that those duties sent him to Bristol in 1820. From the online History of Trinity Memorial Church, Montreal: “Trinity Memorial Anglican Church has been at its Notre Dame de Grace location at 5220 Sherbrooke Street West in Montreal since 1923 but the history of the parish dates back much further. In 1840, the original Trinity Church was built on St. Paul street, opposite the Bonsecours Market. It was built by Major William Plenderleath Christie, the son of General Christie who was a leader of a unit called the Royal Americans. This regiment later became the 65th Rifles. No stone of that church is left today.” Will of William Plenderleath Christie of Christieville in the Seigniory Blenry, Province of Canada, date 25 Jun 1846, PROB 11/2037. In the 1871 census at 9 Cavendish Crescent: Amelia Christie, aged 65, vested income, born in London, H Annie J, aged 30, unmarried, born in Gloucestershire, and two servants. In the 1891 census at 9 Cavendish Crescent, Walcot, Bath: Amelia Christie, aged 85, widow, living on own means, born in London, Annie Johnstone, aged 51, unmarried, adopted daughter, born in Gloucestershire, and two servants.

January 1814 on the Royal Sovereign-a first rate ship of the line on which he served until July, fitting out at Hamoaze, Plymouth and sailing to the Mediterranean. In September 1814 he was re-assigned to the Tannais, joining her on the Medway for the West Indies where he served until May 1816. The records are then vague until we come across his name as serving on the Larne from April 1823 when she left Portsmouth for the East Indies. In February 1824 she was ordered to join the expedition preparing at Calcutta for the invasion of the Dominions of Ava in modern day Burma. On 14th May 1824 he assisted Captain David Ross in taking possession of Dalla, 3 days after the capture of Rangoon. Over 4 days he commanded 4 boats placing fire booms across the River. On the 19th he attacked a gun battery but the natives had fled, burying the cannon. Pursuing them up the Dalla Creek he captured 8 vessels full of rice and dried fish. He then fell to malaria and was convalescent until July after which he supported the defence of Rangoon. By August he had recovered and ventured north up the river capturing many enemy grain ships. Due to their poor loading however many of these foundered on the trip back down to Rangoon. On the 4th August he led a detachment up the Syriam river and captured the old Portuguese fort at the confluence of the Pegu river, stripping the Pagoda of its cannon and bells. Throughout August there are accounts of forays further into the interior with fighting against numerically superior forces, destruction of stockades and the bombardment of villages. William Dobson is reported severely burnt on the 22nd August. By early October they had advanced 40 miles from Rangoon and captured the heavily fortified village of Than-ta-Bahn. The British sailing ships were towed by a steam tug and fired broadsides into the teak defences. In November Dobson was ordered to retake Kemmendine which he did by early December after furious engagements which resulted in him being mentioned in despatches. January and February saw further capture and re-capture of strongholds and at one point a Chinese carpenter working on British ships was found to have drilled a hole in the ship’s hull to sabotage the advance. Eventually a force of around 1700 Marines was landed and the colonialisation of Burma began. Lieutenant Dobson was engaged in the Larne and the Satellite maintaining supply lines to the invasion force. Subsequently he was recalled to Madras and promoted to the rank of Captain. In 1825 /6 he was then posted on patrol, visiting Malacca, Singapore, Sydney, New Zealand, Norfolk Island and Batavia. His next recorded posting was in July 1830 to the Hyperion stationed at Newhaven for the suppression of smuggling. He was paid off from there in June 1831 and assumed duties as an Inspecting Commander in the Coastguard service.”

The Burlington Magazine of 11 Oct 2011 (Number 1303 – Volume 153) gives a background to the Holburne Museum including: “It could be said that a war-wound that turned fatally septic was responsible for what is known today as the Holburne Museum in Bath. Captain Francis Holburne was expected to succeed as the 5th Baronet of Menstrie but died after being wounded at the Battle of Bayonne in 1814. His younger brother William prepared to inherit the title and estate which, six years later, came to him on the death of his father. He abandoned his naval career and embarked on a rather late Grand Tour during which, it seems, his avid collecting began. Thereafter he lived in Bath until his death in 1874, unmarried and with three unmarried sisters in a house that over the years almost silted up with its accumulation of furniture, objects and pictures.” Pictures of some of the members of the Holburne family are at the Holburne Museum, Bath.

WHO KNEW HIM. Holburne Museum Bath AR2: Letter from Francis Holburne to Catherine Cussans has in its description: “A letter from Thomas William's older brother Frank to their wealthy aunt Catherine Cussans, who was staying in Worthing at that time. It gives a first-hand account (spiced with gossip) of the amusements available to young people of leisure during Bath's winter season. At the time of writing, Frank's father, the Baronet Sir Francis Holburne, had recently moved with his family from Wales to Bath. They were living in a fine house in Lansdown Crescent, now known as 7, Lansdown Place East. Francis Ralph Thomas ('Frank') Holburne was born in 1788, served as Captain in the Foot Guards during the Peninsular War under Wellington, and died from wounds received during a skirmish outside Bayonne in 1814. His grave and memorial is in the Guards' cemetery at Bayonne, which was largely funded by his sister Mary Anne Barbara Holburne.”

THE FORBES FRASER HOSPITAL, BATH. MEDICAL OPENING CEREMONY

ON May 16th H.R.H the Duke of Connaught formally opened the two hospitals at Combe Park, Bat, which have been established in connexion with the Royal United Hospital, and in our issue of May 24th (p.915) we reported the opening ceremonies and gave an account of

the two new institutionsthe Royal United Private Hospital (as it was then known) and the Children’s Orthopaedic Hospital. In order to commemorate the very large part played by the late Mr. Forbes Fraser, F.R.C.S., in its foundation, the former has now received the name of the “Forbes Fraser Hospital.” ... In conclusion Lord Dawson made very sympathetic reference to the man who had worked so greatly towards the realization of the project. Forbes Fraser, he said was distinguished in body, mind, and spirit; in his varied qualities there was a wonderful harmony, and running through his life a great purpose. He was one of those who not only dreamed noble things but achieved them. His radiant energy, the largeness of his friendship, and his pervading kindness were, with his intellectual gifts, the source of his strength.
