Notes |
- Lord James Edward Sholto Douglas committed suicide by cutting his throat with a razor in the North Western Hotel at Euston Station in London on 5 May 1891. Contemporary reports state that Lord James suffered from bouts of depression - one report states that 'his lordship travelled from Ireland last night , and acted so strangely on the steamer, that the London and North Western railway officials ordered a man to accompany him from Holyhead to Euston.'
Lord James had previously appeared in court in June 1887, charged with breaching an order ofthe court and his own personal undertaking to cease stalking' a wealthy young lady named Mabel Edith Scott.
