Mr. T. R. Leuty (M.P. for East Leeds), 1895. Engraving from a photograph. 'The late Mr. Lawrence Gane, Q.C., has been succeeded in the representation of East Leeds by Mr. Thomas Richmond Leuty. The new M.P. is very popular in the city where he was born forty-two years ago. He was educated at Bramham College, and at the age of twenty-one became the head of the firm of Messrs. Thomas Leuty and Co., linen manufacturers. He is energetic in social and municipal affairs, and last year was Mayor of Leeds, to the general satisfaction of his fellow-townsmen. He has travelled in the United States and India, and ought to be an acquisition to the group of enlightened men of business who are characteristic of the House of Commons in later years. Mr. Leuty married a daughter of Mr. John Arthington. He is a prominent Congregationalist, and exercises considerable influence for the well-being of young men. In 1892 he was Mr. W. L. Jackson's opponent in the Northern Division of Leeds. His large majority on the present occasion is a high tribute to the esteem in which he is held'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
