BRICKENDONBURY ESTATE.
- We take the following from a recent number of the Herts
Guardian, thinking it may interest some of our readers:- "Amongst
the marriage notices will be found that of Mr. F. W. Charsley, only son of
F. Charsely, Esq., the recent purchaser of this estate, to Emily F. E.
Gascoigne, youngest daughter of General Gascoigne, C. B., at Brighton, on
Sept. 4th. By Mr. Charsley's directions, Mr. Campling of the Dimsdale
Arms, Hertford, supplied a most bountiful supper to which about 40 guests
were invited, including the tenant farmers, tradesmen, and others
connected with the estate. Mr. S. Fowler presided. the health of theT
bride and bridegroom and that of Mr. and Mrs. Charsley, sen., was drunk
with heartiness and enthusiasm in champagne, for which an unlimited order
was given. After the supper, Mr. Fowler read a letter from F. Charsley,
Esq., announcing that he had given the Brickendonbury Estate to his son.
Mr. Charsley entered into a contract on June 25th for the sale of the
estate; but owing to an objection raised by the intended purchaser, Mr.
Charsley rescinded the contract and advertised the estate for sale. The
intended purchaser thereupon obtained an ex
parte injunction to prevent the sale, undertaking to pay any
damage the Court might consider Mr. Charsley entitled to in consequence of
the injunction. Mr. Charsley therefore could not sell the property; but he
has given it to his son in lieu of the Hartsbourn Manor, Herts, which he
purchased for his son a month ago. - The supper was most successful; the
bells rang merrily during the day and evening, and Mr. Charsley's orders
for the thorough enjoyment of every person connected with the estate were
carried out to the letter."

DEATH
OF MR. FREDERICK W CHARSLEY.
---
INQUEST AND VERDICT
---
AN IMPRESSIVE FUNERAL
Quite a gloom was cast over Slough and the
neighbourhood on Monday morning when the news rapidly spread
that Mr. F. W. Charsley, of "Pinewood," Stoke Poges, had succumbed to the
injuries that he received by a fall from his horse at Stoke Park on
September 21st. In our last issue we were able to state on the best
possible authority that he was in no immediate danger, although still in a
precarious state, but he afterwards had a relapse and despite all that
medical skill could do passed away last Sunday afternoon. The deceased was
only forty-three years of age, and deep and heartfelt has been the
sympathy expressed with his wife and children in their terrible
bereavement. He was passionately fond of hunting, and was a well-known
follower of the Queen's and other hounds. He was also honorary field
secretary to the Berks and Bucks Farmers' Harriers, with whom he was very
popular. In fact, he took great interest in all branches of sport, and his
name figures among a list of subscribers to the majority of our local
athletic clubs. He was also interested in agriculture, and at the Slough
Christmas Cattle Show used to offer two prizes - one of three guineas and
the other of two - for the best pig fed by an allotment holder or
cottager. He was also a staunch supporter of the Conservative cause, and
in him the Slough Leopold Institute has lost a true friend. The No. 1
Reading Room was entirely furnished by his generosity, and from time to
time he has made valuable additions to the library. Only at the last
general meeting of the Institute he was thanked for presenting a framed
photograph of his father, the late Mr. F. Charsley, and this now hangs in
No. 1 Reading Room. Numerous other clubs and societies have also beneitted
by his ready help. The inquest was held at the residence of the deceased
gentleman on Tuesday afternoon, and was conducted Mr. G. Fells, the
coroner for Mid Bucks, who explained that he was there at the request of
Mr. G. A. Charsley, the coroner for South Bucks, as being a relative it
would have been very painful for him to have personally conducted the
enquiry. On the morning of the accident the deceased gentleman with
several others had been assisting in catching deer at Stoke Park. Luncheon
was served in the Cottage, and at this a discussion arose as to Tod Sloan,
the American jockey's, method of riding. He has the saddle on the animal's
withers, has very short stirrups, and crouching down obtains a very much
shorter hold of the reins than our English jockeys. Mr. Charsley was
advocating this style for cross-country riding, but none of the other
members of the company agreed with him, and after lunch he said to Mr. P.
D. Thompson, of Maidenhead, "As you think your way the best, and I think
mine, we'll gallop as far as yonder tree." But although the deceased sat
very forward, Mr. Thompson is certain that he did not alter his saddle
before starting, and the exact reason of his falling off during the gallop
is not quite clear. As the Coroner pointed out it might have been due to
several causes, and the fact that the unfortunate gentleman was wearing a
pair of new boots - which did not come out at the inquest - is another
possible cause of his accident, as the soles of new boots are always
slippery and may have caused him to lose a stirrup iron. Mrs. Charsley
first heard of the sad occurrence in Slough, and it was in her trap that
Dr. T. H. E. Meggs was driven by Mrs. Charsley's coachman to Stoke Park.
He was first put to bed at the Keeper's cottage, and afterwards removed to
his home. His injuries consisted of lacerations of the base of the brain
and concussion, and on the Sunday following the accident Dr. R. S.
Charsley deemed it advisable to call in a specialist. He lingered on for
another week, recovering consciousness for a moment or two occasionally,
but passed away on Sunday afternoon last as we have previously stated.
THE INQUEST
was held at the residence of the deceased
gentleman, "Pinewood," Stoke Poges, at two o'clock on Tuesday afternoon.
Owing to G. A. Charsley, Esq., the coroner for South Bucks, being a
relative, the enquiry was conducted by G. Fells, Esq., the coroner for Mid
Bucks.
The jury was composed of Mr. W. C. Clifton (who was chosen
foreman), Rev. U. J. Easson, Messrs. F. H. Mowatt, W. S. Macdonald, C.
Frost, H. Vallis, A. Smith, W. Winkley, H. H. Yandell, W. Crowe, A.
Hilling, and W. Stevenson.
Police constable Perkins very ably carried out the duties of
Coroner's officer.
Before swearing the jury, the Coroner said it was possible some of
them might be surprised to see him there that day, but he had come at the
request of Mr. G. A. Charsley to hold that enquiry, as that gentleman was
a relative of the deceased, and it would have been rather a painful matter
for him. That was the reason why he was conducting it.
The jury having been sworn,
Police constable Perkins asked if the jury would mind going
upstairs six at a time to view the body, as the room was not a very large
one.
The Coroner: They must view the body in my presence.
Police constable Perkins explained that it would be more convenient
if six went upstairs at a time.
The constable's suggestion was acted upon.
Dr. Robert Stephen Charsley, of Slough, was the first witness
called. He said: I am a medical practitioner at Slough. The deceased was
my cousin, and his name was Frederick William Charsley. he was 43 years of
age, and of no occupation. I was sent for on Sept. 22nd and found him
unconscious.
The Coroner: Did you find a fracture?
Witness: There was no fracture, nor any external marks at all.
Did you attend him till he died? - Yes.
When did he die? - On Sunday afternoon.
The first of October? - Yes.
Did he recover consciousness at all before he died? - For a moment
or two occasionally.
What in your opinion is the cause of death? - Laceration of the
base of the brain.
In reply to the Coroner, witness said he considered that concussion
and laceration occurred at the same time, but that deceased recovered from
the concussion.
The Coroner: Death was due to the accident?
Witness: Oh, yes.
Philip Disney Thompson was the next witness.
The Coroner: Were you a friend of the late Mr. Charsley?
Witness: Yes, sir.
Were you riding out with him on September 21st? - Yes, sir, in
Stoke Park.
He was on horseback too? - Yes, sir.
Will you state what happened? - While we were sitting at lunch in
the cottage a discussion arose as to Tod Sloan's method of riding. Mr.
Charsley was in favour of Sloan's method for cross country riding, but all
the other members of the party were against him. After lunch he said to me
"As you think your ways the best and I think mine we'll gallop as far as
yonder tree."
The Coroner: Did he put himself in the position Sloan does?
Witness: He rode very forward. I was in front all the way, and
after I had passed the tree I saw Mr. Charsley's horse galloping
riderless. I turned round and saw Mr. Charsley on the ground, and went
back to him. Mr. Allen and others came up and undid his collar, as he was
foaming at the mouth and appeared in a sort of a fit.
The Coroner: Did he recognise you?
Witness: No, he never spoke a word.
Had the saddle turned round? - I could not say. I only saw the
horse as it galloped past.
Had the horse a saddle on? - I could not say.
Continuing, witness said he went to Slough as fast as he could for
Dr. Charsley, but he was out. He then went for Dr. Fraser, who was also
out. He told Mr. Charsley's man to get the first doctor he could, and he
saw Dr. Meggs, and drove him to Stoke Park.Witness said he rode back
towards Stoke in the hope of getting a doctor from that way, but he had an
accident that delayed him, and when he got back Dr. Meggs was just coming.
Deceased was put on a stretcher and taken into the keeper's cottage, where
witness helped to put him to bed.
The Coroner: Was he a good rider?
Witness: I am hardly qualified to say. I have only met him with the
hounds.
Frederick William Kennett, coachman to Mr. Wilberforce Bryant, of
Stoke Park, said he was in the Park both in the morning and afternoon of
September 21st, and saw Mr. Charsley riding a big black horse.
The Coroner: did you see him start galloping? - No, sir.
Did you see him fall off? - Yes, sir.
Did the horse put its foot in anything? - I did not notice that it
did.
Did the saddle slip? - I noticed after Mr. Charsley had fallen off
that the saddle was hanging over the off-side about eighteen inches.
Hanging by the girths? - Yes, sir.
Did you go up to him? - Yes, sir.
What was done? - I fetched water and vinegar from the keeper's, and
Mr. Thompson bathed his forehead.
Did he appear to fall on his head? - He appeared to fall on his
right shoulder and his back.
Backwards? - Yes, sir. And then he turned a somersault.
Probably his head struck the ground then? - It probably did, but i
could not say.
The Foreman: Were you riding with him?
Witness: I was riding at the side of him.
Was he dragged at all? - No, sir. Both feet were clear of the
stirrups.
Did the horse kick him? - I could not say.
Mr. Thompson was then recalled, and asked by the Coroner whether
Mr. Charsley placed his saddle more forward before he started to race.
Mr Thompson: I feel sure he did not.
The Coroner: Who attended to the saddles after lunch?
Mr Thompson said the girths of the horses were loosened at lunch
time, and after lunch they were tightened again. Most probably Mr.
Charsley tightened his horse's himself.
This was all the evidence.
The Coroner, in summing up, said he was very sorry to have come
there on such a melancholy case. Here was a young man who went out in the
best of health and spirits, and he meets with an accident which results in
his death. It appeared from the evidence that at luncheon Mr. Charsley had
been advocating Tod Sloan's method of riding, and other gentlemen seemed
to have differed from him. This led to the gallop that had such a
disastrous ending, but Mr. Charsley's saddle did not seem to have been
altered in any way, in fact, Mr. Thompson said positively that it was not.
It therefore seemed to him to have been an accident which might have
occurred to anybody. It was just possible that the girths of the saddle
got loosened or were not tightened sufficiently, or the horse may have got
his foot in something and stumbles, or Mr. Charsley may have been sitting
a little loosely in the saddle. they could not say what caused the
accident, but it seemed very plain to him that it was a case of accidental
death.
The jury agreed, and at once returned a verdict of "Accidental
death."
THE FUNERAL.
took place in the quiet little churchyard of
Fulmer on Thursday afternoon, and was very largely attended, despite the
threatening aspect of the weather. The ceremony was fixed for 3.15, and
some little time before that hour rain began to fall. Fortunately,
however, it proved nothing more serious than a shower. Shortly after 3
o'clock the mournful procession started on its brief journey. The coffin,
which was almost hidden from view by the most lovely floral tributes, was
borne on a Washington car, and was followed by three mourning coaches, the
deceased gentleman's private carriage, and the carriages of Mrs. Siedall,
Mr. Wilberforce Bryant, Mr. Williams, Colonel Ward-Bennitt, Mr. W.
Macdonald, Mr. F. J. Burt, Mr. L. Hanbury, etc. At the church gates the
cortége was met by the Rector of Fulmer (Rev. C. Joyce), the Rector of
Stoke (Rev. Vernon Blake), Rev. G. E. Frewer (a relative of the deceased),
and the Rev. U. J. Easson (curate of Stoke Poges). The Rev. Vernon Blake
read the opening sentences of the Burial Service, the Rev. C. Joyce read
the lesson, and at the graveside the Rev. G. E. Frewer officiated. The
grave is situated on the south side of the church, and was lined with
evergreens and white dahlias. The coffin was of unpolished oak, with
silver fittings, the plate bearing the inscription -
