VINCENT PYRWHIT.

The death Of Vincent Pyrwhit, J. p,
County OF Buckinghamshire, would In
the ordinary way have received no
more attention than the death Of any
other simple country gentleman. The
circumstances Of his death, however,
though now long since forgotten, were
sensational, and attracted some notice
at the time. 1t was one Of those cases
which is easily forgotten within year,
except just in the locality where 1t oc-
Cured. The most sensational circum-
stances of the case never came before
the public at all. ] give them here sim
ply and plainly. The psychical people
may make what they like Of them.
Pyrwhit himself was very ordinary
country gentleman, good fellow, but
in no way brilliant. He was devoted
to his wife, who was some fifteen years
younger than himself. and remarkably
beautiful. She was quite good wo-
man, but she had her faults. She was
fond Of admiration, and she was an
abominable flirt She misled men very
cleverly, and was then sincerely angry
with them for having been misled. Her
husband never troubled his head about
these fiirtations, being assured quite
rightly that she was a good woman.
He was not jealous; she, on the other
hand, was possessed of a jealousy
amounting almost to insanity. This
might have caused trouble IL he had
ever provided her with the slightest
basis on which her jealousy could work.
but he never did. With the exception
of his wife, women bored him. / be-
lieve she did once or twice try to make
scene for some preposterous reason
which was no reason at all, but nothing
serious came of it, and there was never
| real quarrel between them.
On the death OF his wife, after pro-
longed Illness. Pyrwhit wrote and asked
me to come down to Ellerdon for the

days with him. He would be quite
