A fact from Hubert Chevis appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 1 March 2011 ( check views). The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that British Army lieutenant Hubert G. Chevis was murdered in 1931 with a plate of poisoned partridge? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2011/March.

Would this Manchurian partridge be the same bird as the Daurian Partridge? Ericoides ( talk) 07:56, 1 March 2011 (UTC) reply

I think you're right, it is the Daurian Partridge (Perdix daurica). This reference seems to confirm it. I've updated the article accordingly. Thanks for that. — Bruce1ee ^talk 12:41, 1 March 2011 (UTC) reply

The article reference to this programme seems to give undue weight to what is pretty much a gag; it makes it seem that the conclusion is drawn as part of the investigation in the course of the show, when it is delivered as a non-sequitur joke which he immediately undermines by saying that he’s probably reading too much into it. A far more interesting point raised in the programme is that a toxicologist throws doubt on the partridge as the means of delivering the poison (it would have required a greater amount than needed to kill the victim to thoroughly contaminate the bird, and it would have had to be inserted under the skin). He posited that the best means of delivery would have been to dissolve the small amount of poison neccessary in the gravy which she served with it, which he thinks would have given Mrs. Chevis the opportunity - if not the motive - to kill her husband, explain why she would have been secure in accepting the bird to taste (by knowing to take a piece without gravy/ poison), and that it would not have been difficult for her to simulate the symptoms of poisoning, having observed how her husband was affected. 86.156.22.169 ( talk) 19:34, 18 August 2015 (UTC) reply
