Viscount Valentia, M.P. for Oxford, 1895. Engraving from a photograph. 'Viscount Valentia, who has succeeded George Chesney as Conservative M.P. for the city of Oxford, has taken a keen interest in politics for some time. He is an Irish peer and baronet, and was born fifty-one years ago. He was lieutenant in the 10th Hussars, and has a soldierly appearance, as becomes a Lieutenant-Colonel of the Oxfordshire Yeomanry Cavalry. He succeeded his grandfather in the Viscounty in 1863. He opposed Mr. F. W. Maclean, Q.C. (now a Master in Lunacy) at the General Election of 1885, but wars defeated in the Mid-Oxfordshire Division by 189 votes. When a bye-election was necessitated by Mr. Maclean's appointment in 1891, Lord Valentin gave Mr. G. H. Morrell his energetic support, and the latter was successful; only, however, to lose the seat in the following year. Lord Valentia is Chairman of the Oxfordshire County Council, and has country seats at Bletchington Park, on the outskirts of Oxford, and at Eydon Hall, Banbury. He polled on April 20, 3745 votes, against 3143 cast for his Liberal opponent, Dr. Fletcher Little'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
