History of Parliament - Extract
Of Irish gentry and great-nephew of Maj.-Gen. Andrew Robinson (equerry to the Princess Dowager of Wales), this Member became connected with Newcastle through his first marriage. Hannah Newton had inherited Cold Pike Hill and a fortune of £20-30,000; he treated her abominably; but at her death retained her property. His second wife Mary Eleanor Bows had inherited Gibside, Streatlam Castle, and had a fortune of about £600,000, which, however, as ‘the effect of a lucid interval’ (as Lord Chancellor Thurlow put it) she had by pre-nuptial deeds conveyed to trustees. On marrying her Stoney took, under the terms of her father’s will, the name of Bowes.
By the terrors of personal violence’ he made her rescind the pre-nuptial deeds; even then his treatment of her grew more and more outrageous; and being ‘of a very savage and tormenting disposition’ he resorted to physical cruelty.
On 10 Nov. 1786 Stoney-Bowes , had Mary Eleanor kidnapped in Oxford Street and carried off to the north, his aim being by force to put a stop to the proceedings she had brought against him. Rescued from him, she won her suits and divorced him 3 Mar. 1789.
Stoney-Bowes spent the remaining 23 years of his life in prison or ‘within the prison rules’ first for his crime, and next for debts.
He died 16 Jan. 1810.
