  William Hazlitt (1778-1830), Chapter ELEVEN -- "Hazlitt Marries -- 1808."
While at Winterslow, in 1806, Mary Lamb (Charles' sister) was corresponding with her friend at Winterslow, Sarah Stoddart who at that time was considering marriage to a Mr.
I should like to see Hazlitt and you come together, if (as Charles observes) it were only for joke sake."4 With the coming of the spring of 1808, Hazlitt was paying visits at Winterslow and being very much part of Sarah's life; she became pregnant by Hazlitt in April of that year.
"Charles took Mary to visit the Hazlitts at Winterslow, where she recovered health, and they had long walks to Wilton, Salisbury and Stonehenge."10 The additional guests included Martin Burney and Colonel Phillips11; the guests paid for their board.

Stoddart was thrown into a six-meter deep vermin-infested hole, salubriously named the Bug Pit, a victim of his own ignorance and arrogance.
Eyewitness accounts state that Stoddart was the first to be beheaded (though it is more likely that he had his throat cut) and that Conolly was soon to follow (although some say that as a convinced infidel up until his death, he would have suffered a different fate than his converted compatriot).
Later, in his bedchamber, he was forced to fight off the advances of an unveiled beauty sent to tempt him in the night and as he slept he clasped a package of opium to numb the potential pain of sudden execution.

 The Great Game
For the next year or so, repeated attempts to either escape (by Stoddart), or rescue (by everyone else) were met with failure.
So a fresh-faced young Captain, flush with the fervor of messianic Christianity, and certain he could convince the Emir and his people to discard the religion they'd practiced for 700 years and adopt Anglicanism, volunteered to go get the Colonel, and perhaps even convert the Emir while he was there.
Stoddart wavered, and then figured, what the hell, and said 'sure, why not'.

Sheriff Charles Stoddart recommended that the council should set up an inspection system to help prevent similar accidents and to carry out immediate checks on all buildings thought to pose a risk.
While many owners will be responsible and have regular inspections carried out, there are others who clearly do not take their responsibilities, or their investments, seriously enough.
