Hansard
05 May 1914 vol 62 cc120-1:
Sir
William
Byles asked the
Secretary of State for the Colonies whether his attention has been drawn to the
allegations of Mr. Drought before the Labour Commission of the East African
Protectorate that the District Commissioner, the Hon. K. Dundas, tortured a
native by burning his tongue with a hot knife; and what action was taken when
this incident was reported to the administrative authorities?
Mr. Harcourt: "The
matter was reported to me by the Acting-Governor at the time, and it is clear to
me that the original charge was maliciously brought and was without foundation
in fact. What happened was this: A native chief was investigating a case of
cattle theft in the presence of the District Commissioner, Mr. Dundas. The chief
called on the accused of his people to go through the native form of ordeal by
fire by licking a hot knife. Mr. Dundas did not prohibit this procedure, but
took care that the knife was not sufficiently heated to burn the tongue of the
accused. The Acting-Governor was of opinion that Mr. Dundas had committed an
error of judgment in admitting this method of trial, and severely censured him.
In my opinion the action taken was sufficient"

MANITOBA FREE PRESS, WINNIPEG, 30/10/1920
TO WED SHOP ASSISTANT
"Romantic-Engagement of Viscount Melville Is Announced
Edinburgh, Oct. 29; The romantic engagement of a Scottish peer, to an Edinburgh
shop assistant has been announced and it is understood that the marriage is
shortly to take place. Both parties are very reticent, and decline to discuss
the matter, but the fact is admitted by the bride-elect. The peer is Viscount
Melville, of Melville Castle, Lasswade, and Cotterstock Hall, Northamptonshire,
and his future bride is Miss Margaret Todd, of Thlrlestane road, Edinburgh, who,
until a fortnight ago, was an assistant in the business of Messrs. Edwin Pass
and-Son, perfumers and hairdressers, Princes street, Edinburgh. Lord Melville
was a patron of Messrs. Pass, and the attachment between him and Miss Todd was
doubtless the result of their occasional meetings there. Miss Todd is a tall,
pre-possessing woman, of about 40,-and though Lord Melville is considerably her
senior, he is very active and energetic. Lord Melville, who is 77 years of age,
succeeded his' brother in the peerage in 1904. He was for 37 years in the
Consular service, from which he retired in 1906! He has already been twice
married. His first wife, a daughter of William Scully, of Rio de Janeiro, died
in 1890. His second wife, whom he married in 1891, was a daughter of Dr. George
Hamilton, of Falkirk. She died in 1919. The Viscount has four sons and two
daughters. Another son, the Hon. Kenneth Robert Dundas, R.N.V.R., was killed in
action at the Dardanelles in 1915. Lord Melville has taken little part in public
affairs, preferring to live a quiet country life- He has in recent years not
kept up a big establishment in his old residence at Melville Castle".
Reno Evening Gazette, 15/10/1920:
"BARBERSHOP GIRL TO WEAR CORONET OF AGED
SCOTCH NOBLE. Announcement is made that Charles Saunders Dundas, sixth Viscount
Melville, soon will marry Miss Margaret Todd. an assistant In a barber shop in
Edinburgh, says the Times. This will be the third marriage of the viscount, who
is seventy-seven years of age. A son, Henry Charles Clement Dundas, is heir to
the title and is himself forty-seven years of age".
