The Hon. Alfred Lyttelton, new M.P. for Warwick and Leamington, 1895. 'The Hon. Alfred Lyttelton, who was elected for Warwick and Leamington by a majority of nearly six hundred over his Radical opponent, Mr. Alderman Duckworth, is a nephew of Mr. Gladstone, and was until quite recently a member of the Eighty Club and a supporter of his uncle's Irish policy. Mr. Lyttelton was born in 1857, educated at Eton and Trinity College, and called to the Bar in 1881. He was appointed Recorder of Hereford in 1893, and Recorder of Oxford at the end of last year. Mr. Lyttelton is, perhaps, better known to the general public as one of the best cricketers and tennis-players of our time than in any political or judicial capacity. In tennis he is the Marylebone Gold Prizeman, and in cricket he has had few equals as a wicket-keeper. His political reputation he has still to make, but the great personal popularity he has already achieved in a difficult and delicate position, to which he was called after the withdrawal of Mr. George Peel from the Leamington contest, is an excellent augury'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
