British businessman ( 1845-1921 ) Newton , as Sheriff of London ( 1889 ) Sir Alfred James Newton , 1st Baronet ( 18 November 1845 - 20 June 1921 ) was a British businessman . He was involved with the stock market flotation of several large privately owned retail stores , including Harrods in 1889 and D H Evans in 1894 . He became Lord Mayor of London in 1900 and helped establish the City of London Imperial Volunteers who fought in the Second Boer War in South Africa . Mystery surrounds his death in 1921 from strychnine poisoning . Early life Newton was born at Hull in 1845 to George Beeforth Newton of Kottington ( 1810-1889 ) and Helen Rowe ( 1813-1893 ) . His father was connected with shipping and the holder of a Masters Certificate ; his grandfather had been involved with the whale fisheries industry . His parents were married in Liverpool in 1834 and had four daughters and three sons . Alfred Newton was their sixth child and youngest son . Principia supporting the troops in Egypt In 1865 , Newton was a grain and seed broker in High Street , Hull . In the 1870s he was a yeast merchant in Burton-on-Trent with his father . Later he was in partnership with his brothers , William and George Beeforth Newton Jr. , in a chandlery and shipping business called Newton Brothers of Burton on Trent and Hull . In 1874 , they purchased a diving cutter and specialised in salvage , raising or breaking-up sunken ships that were a danger to navigation . This sometimes involved the use of explosives , and there was at least one fatality when a diver working for them drowned in 1875 . They expanded their fleet of ships , commissioning the 310 ft steamer Principia in 1881 for the India trade . In 1882 the British Government leased this ship , with others that they owned , to transport troops and materiel to the conflict in Egypt . This same year the partners opened a head office in the City of London at 19 Billiter Street . New business interests When his brother William died in 1886 aged 48 , Newton parted with the shipping business . The partnership continued between his surviving brother George Beeforth Jr. , his father , and the manager William Holiday . When the father died in 1889 the firm was renamed Newton Brothers and Holiday . Following his withdrawal from the family business Newton became involved with the stock market flotation of several private companies . In 1886 , he was a director of the Norfolk and Suffolk Brewing Company ( Colchester Brewing Company ) , in 1887 director of the New Zealand Gold Extraction Company ( Newberry Vautin Process ) Ltd . , and in 1888 the chairman of the Gaiety Theatre . He was chairman of The President Land and Exploration Company in 1889 and the same year appointed chairman of the board of Harrods Store , raising capital to buy the store from Charles Digby Harrod for £100,000 . In the next decade several other departmental stores followed suit with his involvement including D. H. Evans ( chairman ) , J. R. Roberts ’ Stores ( chairman ) , Crisp and Company of Holloway ( director ) and Paquin of Paris ( director ) . Whilst chairman of Harrods he also oversaw the purchase of the departmental stores Dickins & Jones ( 1914 ) and Swan and Edgar ( 1920 ) . Civic duty and controversy During the 1890s he held posts as the master or three City of London Livery Companies . These were the Worshipful Company of Framework Knitters ( 1895-96 ) , the Worshipful Company of Girdlers ( 1898-1900 ) and Worshipful Company of Fan Makers in 1899 . In 1889 he was nominated and appointed the Sheriff of London and Middlesex ; in the following year he became Alderman of the Ward of Bassishaw , a Lieutenant of the City of London and in 1899 he became the Lord Mayor of London . However , at the same time he came under scrutiny for a share flotation that he had been involved with concerning another store called Grice and Son of Clapham . This business had been purchased by Industrial Contract Corporation ( Limited ) for the sum of £16,000 in about 1897 , and sold to another company with the same directors called the Auxiliary Stores for £48,000 ( equivalent to £6,560,000 in 2023 ) . The directors for both these companies were Newton , Richard Burbidge , who was the general manager of Harrods , James Bailey , who was a director of Harrods and James Jackson , a director of J. R. Roberts ' Stores . A merchant and banker named William Mendel was also a key player , holding the founders ' shares that gave him a controlling interest . Attempts were made by these directors to wind-up the first company , but the shareholders were unhappy with the terms they were offered . After threats of court action an agreement was reached between the parties . This was not the end of the story ; the Lord Chief Justice , on being officially introduced to the newly appointed Lord Mayor Newton , publicly expressed his concern about his involvement with the Industrial Contract Corporation . In order to allow a public examination of the matter , Newton instigated formal winding up proceedings to be heard before a Chancery judge . In his summary at the end of the investigation , the judge said that the memorandum of the articles of association of the company were nothing short of a scandal . Shareholders had not been made aware of the profit being taken by the directors and the holder of founders ' shares had the same rights of voting as the total number of shareholders . City of London Imperial Volunteers In October 1899 hostilities broke out in South Africa between the British and the South African Republic and the Orange Free State . In December a proposal was put forward that the City of London should sponsor a volunteer troop of soldiers to take part in the conflict . Lord Mayor Newton was approached by Colonel Boxall on the subject and within days he had reached agreement with various City livery companies , bankers , merchants and the Court of Common Council to support and fund the venture . The troop was called the City of London Imperial Volunteers - CIV for short . The first volunteers were registered at the Guild hall on 1 January 1900 and this contingent left for South Africa on 13 January from Southampton . What made this speeding mobilisation possible was that the recruits were all members of the Metropolitan Volunteer Corp , part-time soldiers , recommended for their abilities by their respective commanding officers . Every member of the corp received the freedom of the City of London . Baronetcy Coat of arms of Sir Alfred James Newton as Governor of the Irish Society in a memorial window of the Irish Society , erected at its tercentenary 1613-1913 in the Coleraine Town Hall . Blazon : Azure , two shin-bones in saltire , the sinister surmounted of the dexter or , between as many roses in fesse argent , barbed and seeded proper , on a chief of the second a lotus-flower leaved and slipped of the last . In May 1900 Queen Victoria visited the City of London and afterwards conferred a Baronetcy on Newton . He became 1st Baronet Newton , of The Wood , Sydenham Hill , Lewisham , Kent and Kottingham House , Burton-on-Trent , co . Stafford . In 1906 he was made Governor of The Honourable The Irish Society and continued in this role until 1921 . In his role as the Lord Mayor of London , Newton was asked to nominate individuals to fill vacancies in the Lieutenancy of The City of London . Two of those he put forward were his brother-in-law , Alfred Durant Watson , and his uncle , George Lord Beeforth , who had been a publisher in London ( Fairless & Beeforth ) , a co-founder of the Doré Gallery and in 1894 the Mayor of Scarborough , Yorkshire . Sylvia Pankhurst Newton was a magistrate by virtue of being an Alderman of the City of London . He sat on the bench of the courts in the Guildhall and Mansion House . It was there on 20 October 1920 that Sylvia Pankhurst , a suffragette and editor of the newspaper The Workers Dreadnought , appeared before him accused of sedition . This was due to four articles published in her paper . She defended herself but was found guilty and sentenced by Newton to six months in the second division . Death Newton died at Harrods in 1921 . He had travelled from home in an automobile with his wife on their way to the store . When they arrived , Newton had a seizure and fell back into his seat next to his wife . A doctor was called but Newton had died . It later transpired that there was a high dosage of strychnine in his indigestion medicine , enough to kill a large number of people . The medicine had been made up on prescription by the Harrods pharmacist . At the inquest she described her working methods and precautions with poison , saying that it would not have been possible for Newton 's medication to have become contaminated with strychnine in the pharmacy . Newton had complained that this new bottle of medicine had tasted very bitter so it seems unlikely that it was self-administered . The doctor who conducted the post-mortem said at the inquest that Newton 's heart was in a poor condition and he would not have lived much longer , although the strychnine had contributed to the death . The jury returned a verdict that death was due to heart failure . Family Newton married Elizabeth ( Lily ) Jane Watson ( 1856-1945 ) , the daughter of Sarah and Joseph Watson who was a yeast merchant living in Mitcham , Surrey . Lily and Alfred Newton had two children , Sir Harry Kottingham Newton , 2nd Baronet ( 1875-1951 ) and Muriel Prudhoe Newton ( 1878-1975 ) , who married in 1902 George Parsons . His great-grandson , the Rev. Sir George Peter Howgill Newton , the 4th baronet ( born 1962 ) , is the vicar of Holy Trinity church in Aldershot .
