		John Emlyn Emlyn-Jones, MP for Dorset North 1922-1924
		Emlyn-Jones, together with his wife and 36 others, was killed in a plane crash in France
		on 3 March 1952. According to a report in 'The Times' on 4 March 1952:-
		'The airliner was a Languedoc, a four-engined aircraft of French design. It left [Nice] at
		9 a.m., but, according to some observers, seemed to have difficulty in taking off from the
		runway and gaining height. A few minutes afterwards the port engines appear to have given
		trouble, and the aircraft was seen returning to the airfield and lowering its under-carriage
		as if to land. At the same time smoke was seen trailing from one of the engines.
		'What followed is not clear, but it seems that one wing struck an olive tree on the side of a
		hill about three miles from Nice. The aircraft overturned and burst into flames.
		'The aircraft was completely wrecked, debris being strewn over the field where the crash
		occurred.'
		Henry Richard Farquharson, MP for Dorset West 1885-1895
		At the general election held in 1892, Farquharson's unsuccessful opponent was Charles
		Tindall Gatty. Following the election, Gatty sued Farquharson for alleged libel and slander.
		The following report is taken from the 'Manchester Times' of 23 June 1893:-
		'In the Queen's Bench Division, on Monday, the further hearing of the case of Gatty v
		Farquharson was resumed before the Lord Chief Justice and a special jury. The plaintiff,
		Mr. Charles Tindall Gatty, the son of a well-known Yorkshire clergyman, and the
		unsuccessful candidate at the last general election for West Dorset, sought to recover
		damages from the defendant, Mr. Henry Richard Farquharson, the sitting member for that
		division, for alleged libel and slander. The plaintiff complained that in March, 1892, the
		defendant told Mr. St.John Brodrick in the House of Commons that the plaintiff had been
		expelled from the Charterhouse School or compelled to leave by reason of an unnatural
		offence. In placards and speeches he managed to suggest some terrible charge. The
		defendant denied the alleged statement to Mr. Brodrick, and pleaded privilege as to the
		alleged libels.
		'Amongst the witnesses called was Dr. Haig Brown, who said that he had been head master
		of the Charterhouse for many years. Mr. Gatty left the Charterhouse in July, 1855. He was
		removed by the head master for an offence against purity.
		'Cross-examined by Mr. Lockwood: Mr. Gatty was then a boy of 13. There was a boy at the
		school then named Lyne, a brother of Mr. Lyne, later known as Father Ignatius, and then
		Brother Ignatius. Young Gatty had applied to Brother Ignatius, as he was in difficulty, and
		made a statement to him. Brother Ignatius communicated with witness, who wrote to
		Gatty's father, and the boy was taken away. He was not expelled. Witness might have said
		in conversation with Gatty at the United University Club in May last that he was taken away
		as much for protection as for punishment.
		'Mr. Henry Richard Farquharson, examined by Mr. Winch, Q.C., said he was defendant in the
		action and member for West Dorset. Previous to the last contest he did not know Mr. Gatty.
		He had heard a rumour from an old Charterhouse boy in the constituency.
		'Examined by Mr. Lockwood, the defendant said it was some time after his Bedminster
		speech, in which he referred to Mr. Gatty's old school fellows, that he had a conversation
		with Mr. St.John Brodrick at the House of Commons. Mr. Brodrick's statement of the
		conversation agreed substantially with what witness remembered. He did not say anything
		about Mr. Gatty leaving Yeovil on account of some matter in connection with printers' boys.
		He swore that he never said anything of the sort.
		'On resuming on Tuesday morning Mr. Lockwood said he wished to ask Mr. Gatty a question
		about Yeovil which he had omitted to put on Monday. Mr. Gatty then went into the witness
		box.
		'Mr. Lockwood: Were there any scandals of any sort or kind connected with your stay at
		Yeovil?  - None whatever. [Lockwood] I believe you had a farewell dinner when you left, and
		also a presentation from the staff of the paper on which you were engaged? - That was so.
		'Sir Edward Clarke then addressed the jury on behalf of the defendant, and reviewed the
		circumstances of the utterances of the alleged libels and the evidence in the case at great
		length.
		''Mr. Lockwood then addressed the jury on behalf of the plaintiff.
		'His Lordship, in summing up the case to the jury, explained the legal definitions of libel and
		slander. He said that a person who went in for politics must expect to get hard knocks, but
		he had the right to have his personal character respected. It seemed to him (the learned
		judge) that to rake out an incident in a young boy's life was unquestionably discreditable.
		'The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, £5,000 damages. His Lordship gave judgment
		in accordance with the verdict.'
