succeeded his father July 24, 1806; and was first returned
to Parliament as M.P. for Petersfield about 1819. He was
re-chosen for that borough at the General Election of 1820,
and obtained the representation of Carlisle on the death of
Sir James Graham, bt. in 1825. His return at the General
Election in 1826 was not without great opposition and
serious riots.
