The late Mr. Winterbotham, M.P., 1874. Engraving from a photograph by the London Stereoscopic Company, of Henry Selfe Page Winterbotham, Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department. 'Mr. Winterbotham was an independent Liberal, and, as an hereditary Dissenter, took a prominent part in the debates on the University Tests Bill and other measures of religious equality. In March, 1871, he was offered by Mr. Gladstone the office of Under-Secretary, which he accepted, giving up his practice at the Bar and throwing himself entirely into political life. He was, indeed, offered, soon afterwards, the lucrative appointment of legal member of the Indian Council of Government at Calcutta, left vacant by Mr. Fitz-james Stephen; but this he declined. His Parliamentary conduct was such as to gain the esteem of opposing parties for his consistency and dignity of behaviour, as well as for the abilities he displayed both as a speaker and in the industrious performance of official work'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
