François Benjamin Courvoisier
François Benjamin Courvoisier (August 1816 – 6 July 1840), a Swiss born valet, who was convicted for murdering of his employer Lord William Russell in London, England, and hanged outside Newgate Prison on 6 July 1840. A crowd of around 40,000 witnessed his death, including Charles Dickens and William Makepeace Thackeray.
==Early Life and Career==
Courvoisier was born in the small village of Mont-la-Ville, Switzerland, in August 1816, the son of Abraham Courvoisier, a farmer. He was educated at the local village school, after which he assisted his father in farm duties, before moving to England in 1836.〔
Based on evidence given at his trial in 1840, upon first arriving in England, for around a month, Courvoisier worked as a waiter at Madame Piolaine's ''Hotel du Port de Dippe'' in Leicester Square, London.
Through the assistance of his uncle, who was employed as a butler by an English baronet, he secured a position as a footman in the household of Lady Julia Lockwood.〔 After seven months, in March 1837, he moved to the home of John Minet Fector, Conservative M.P. for Dover, also as a footman, where he remained for three years. He left Fector for employment with Lord William on 31 March 1840.〔
