THE PARLIAMENTARY HISTORY OF THE PRINCIPALITY OF WALES, FROM THE EARLIEST TIMES TO THE PRESENT DAY, 1541—1895, COMPRISING LISTS OF THE REPRESENTATIVES, CHRONOLOGICALLY ARRANGED UNDER COUNTIES, WITH BIOGRAPHICAL AND GENEALOGICAL NOTICES OF THE MEMBERS, TOGETHER WITH PARTICULARS OF THE VARIOUS CONTESTED ELECTIONS, DOUBLE RETURNS AND PETITIONS. By W. K. WILLIAMS. 1895. A^.S^oG.(o- Only 300 Copies printed, of which this is No....^S Introduction. IT is iinknown when Members were first summoned from Wales, but Hugbes' Pari. Rep. of Cardiganshire 1849, contains a Writ ("No. 34, De Wallensibus ad parliamentum apud Bborum Venire faciendis,") addressed 18 April, 15 Bdw. 2, to Bdmund Earl of Arundell, Justiciary of Wales, directing him to cause 24 discreet and able persons to be chosen for " Suth Walliae," and the same number for " North Wallise," to attend the Parliament summoned to meet at York 2 May 1322, but no returns to this writ have been found. In the Pari. Returns, the earliest instance of their names being preserved, occurs in 20 Bdw. 2, when "by writ, dated Kenilworth 8 January 1326-7, the Justiciary of North Wales is ordered to send twenty-four men from these parts, as well Bnglish as Welsh," to assist in the last Parliament of Bdw. II., summoned to meet at Westminster 14 Dec. 1326, and by Prorogation 7 Jan. 1326-7, when the following were returned: — ANGLESEY. CARNARVON. Howel ap GrifFuyth David ap Howel Tuder Duy Tuder ap L,ewelyn Lewelyn Vaghan Howel ap Tuder Petrus Riissel Willielmus Saleman Anglesey- County. Beaumaris Borough. Jorwerd ap Griff' Griffuytli ap Howel Howel ap Jevan David ap Ada Howel ap Madoc Griffuyth ap David Ricardus de Monte Gomerij Ricardus de Middleton' I Henricus Som' Ricardus de Heywode - Carnarvon County. Carnarvon Borough Conway Borough. MERIONETH. Eygn' Vaghan Eygn' Vaghan Jevan ap Gurgen Lewelyn ap David Vaughan Griffinus ap Madoc' Merioneth County. No further Members appear to have been again summoned from the Principality until the reign of Henry VIII., when, having established the thirteen counties as at present, that Monarch further granted them, by 27 Hen. 8, cap. 26, the privilege of returning 27 Members to the Parliament at Westminster, one for each county and county town, with the exception that Monmouthshire was allowed two, and Haverfordwest one, while the county town iv. INTRODUCTION. of Merionetlisliire was debarred separate representation. The generally received idea is that Wales did not exercise this privilege until 1541, but although the returns to the two short Parliaments of 8 June to 18 July 1536, and 28 April 1539 to 24 July 1540. have unfortunately been totally lost, yet, judging from other evidence, it may fairly be inferred that the Principality did actually return Members in 1536 and 1539, as well as the English counties, although the names are not preserved in either case. So matters remained until the Reform Act, 1832, when a second member was granted to the shires of Carmarthen, Denbigh, and Glamorgan, and the towns of Merthyr Tydfil and Swansea were each allowed a representative, thus increasing the total to 32, while the Reform Act, 1867, gave a second member to Merthyr, and the third Reform Act of 1885, disfranchising the Boroughs of Beaumaris, Brecknock, Cardigan, Haverfordwest, and Radnor, gave five members to Glamorgan and an additional member to Monmouthshire and Swansea, thus bringing up the number of representatives to 34. During Barebone's Parliament, 1653, six members were appointed, not elected, for Wales, and one for Monmouthshire, while to the Common- wealth Assemblies of 1654 and 1656, each shire returned two members except Merioneth which sent one, and Monmouthshire three. Cardiff was the only borough represented in 1654, and Cardiff and Haverfordwest in 1656, while Swansea was allowed, pro hac vice, to send a member to the Assembly of 1659. By Act of Parliament, 35 Henry VIII, cap.^, Welsh members were to receive the same wages as English members, namely, four shillings a day for the Knights of the Shire, and two shillings a day for Burgesses, and soon afterwards the various boroughs rated for this purpose, were allowed to share in choosing a member as well as the shire town. Many were the petitions arising from this system. During the 350 years or so of its representation at Westminster, Wales has continually shewn a wonderful preference for members of its own nationality, scions of ■ its ancient county families ; and although the extension of the franchise in 1832 and 1867, made some changes in this respect, notably in the boroughs, it remained for the general election of 1885 to effect such a complete revolution of affairs, as happened at that date. Taking a general survey of the Principality, with which Monmouthshire is blended with inseparable ties of relationship, kindred, and feeling, it is interesting in the highest degree to observe the really remarkable manner in which the various old county families, supplying the Members of Parliament, were connected together, not only the same families representing the same constituency for many generations, as frequently happened, but also extending their influence over several constituencies, in different counties, forming by .ties of kindred or marriage, a perfect network of relationship. A reference to the Index will at once shew the enormous influence of the many branches of the great Herbert family, who contributed 41 members, and after their time, arose in North Wales the great house of INTRODUCTION. Wynnstay, which furnished many members for the counties of Denbigh and Montg-omery, and the boroughs of Beaumaris and Flint, while in the South, the Tredegar family sat for the shires and boroughs alike of Monmouth and Brecknock, and, to a lesser extent, other families followed suit. Moreover, when one county failed to find a suitable member within its own borders, it had only to step across to the adjacent county to borrow a representative, and even then the member usually possessed a landed interest in both counties, of which there are instances in the cases of Denbigh and Flint, Brecknock and Radnor, Carmarthen or Cardigan and Pembroke. In nearly every instance where a borough has chosen a stranger from Bngland, (which the counties seldom did), some satisfactory reason has been found for doing so, su.ch as a marriage relationship, or at least, intimate friendship with some great local landowner. Wales has been represented by many noted personages, distinguished in one way or another. It seated Sir Heneage Finch and Sir Simon Harcourt, both afterwards Lord Chancellors, at Beaumaris and Cardigan, and found seats for two Cabinet Ministers, rejected elsewhere. Sir James Graham at Pembroke 1838, and the present Duke of Devonshire at Radnor 1869. A Prime Minister, Robert Harley, Earl of Oxford, sat for Radnor 20 years, while 3 other Speakers of the House, Sir John Puckering, Sir Wm. Williams, and Sir Thomas Hanmer, were chosen for Carmarthen, Beaumaris, and Flint- shire. Other members of various Governments, some Privy Councillors or in the Cabinet, were Francis Gwyn, John Jeffreys, Thomas Morgan, Sir Charles Gould, Bragge Bathurst, Charles Wynn, Lord Granville Somerset, John Nicholl, Sir G. Cornewall Lewis, Lord Aberdare, and Sir G. Osborne Morgan, while several others held junior appointments at the Treasury or Admiralty, or occupied positions in the Royal Household. Lord Stalbridge has been Chief Ministerial Whip, a position filled at the present day by Mr. Thomas Ellis. Of sailors there were Sir Sackville Trevor, Sir Robert Mansel, and Thomas Mathews ; of soldiers, Sir Thomas Baskerville, Sir Henry Bagenal, (slain in Ireland,) Lord Windsor and his brother, General Rooke, Sir Thomas Picton, (who fell at Waterloo), the Marquis of Anglesey and his brother, and several Somersets; of lawyers, Sir David Williams, Hugh Hughes, Sir Wm. Jones, Sir John Vaughan, and Robert Atkins ; of ambassadors, Sir C. Hanbury Williams, Fulke Greville, Sir John Stepney, and Sir Arthur Paget ; of scholars and antiquaries. Sir John Price, Thomas Phaer, Humphrey Lloyd, W. W. E. Wynne, and Octavius Morgan ; of civilians, David Lewis, Sir Edw. Carne, Ellis Price, William Awbrey, Griffith Lloyd, and Sir John Herbert. Many of the Members sat in the Council of the Marches of Wales, whilst others became Welsh Judges. In Queen Elizabeth's reign some of the Members were clergymen, while the gentle poet, George Herbert, afterwards took Holy Orders, vi. INTRODUCTION. and so did Henry Glynne. Sir Hugh Middleton constructed the New River, and his brother was Lord Mayor of London. Others achieved fame in a less enviable mode. Sir John Perrott, Lord Deputy of Ireland, was condemned for high treason, a fate shared by Sir Gelly Meyrick and Algernon'^Sidney, who both suffered death on the scaffold. Three Members, Sir John Danvers, Thomas Wogan, and Col. John Jones, sat upon the trial of Charles I., and earned the opprobrious epithet of " regicide," Col. Joncs being hanged, drawn, and quartered at Tyburn. One Member, Richard Pryse, " died of obesity," two died on the day of their election, one died in the House of Commons, and two in a debtor's prison. During the times of the Civil War most of the Members for Wales were staunch Royalists, and for their loyalty were " disabled to sit," by the Parliament. Of such were Lord Carbery, Col. Bodvel, Sir Herbert Price, Sir Walter Lloyd, Sir Henry Vaughan, Col. Wm. Salisbury, and Sir Philip Warwick the historian, while Col. Wm. Herbert, Capt. Charles Price, and Sir Nicholas Kemsys were slain in battle, fighting for their King. On the the other side were the Parliamentary Colonels, some risen from the ranks, or taken from behind the counter, who under the Commonwealth ruled Wales with an iron hand, Carter, Twisleton, Jones, Dawkins, Watkins, Ellice, Clerke, Berry, and Phillips ; while other noted men were their lawyers, John Glynne and Wm. Fbxwist, Richard Cromwell the Protector, Bdw. Lawrence the President of the Council of State, and Jenkyn Lloyd the Protector's chaplain. In later times two Members, Mr. Charles Wynn and Mr. C. R. M. Talbot, have enjoyed the position of Father of the House of Commons, while several others attained to great longevity. On the other hand there have been several instances where Members have been elected when under age. Of titles the Welsh Members have never been deficient. Many received the honour of knighthood, were created baronets, or were elevated to the peerage ; while the Dukes of Beaufort, Bolton, Chandos, and Devonshire, the Marquises of Anglesey and Camden, and the Earls of Abergavenny, Anglesey, Oxford, Pembroke and Montgomery, Leicester, Lisburne, Essex, Verney. Nottingham, Talbot, Dunraven, Clarendon, and Cawdor, have at different times represented Welsh constituencies. Of contested elections Wales has had its share. There was opposition at Denbigh as far back as 1572, double returns for Cardigan in 1601 and 1604, and several elsewhere afterwards, and although of course most of tlie contests and petitions occurred in contributory boroughs, yet from time to time two rival families would meet in fierce contest for a county, and the poll be kept open over a fortnight perhaps, at ruinous expense. The contest for Flint in 1734, it is said, cost ^70,000. The elections for Denbighshire 1601 and INTRODUCTION. vii. Carmarthen 183 1 were interrupted by rioting, and fresh elections had to be held; and the elections to the Long Parliament for the counties and boroughs of Cardigan and Carnarvon were postponed owing to the Sheriffs receiving the writs " too late for Members to be elected before the meeting of Parliament." One Member was unseated for being a Scotchman. In one instance two Brothers contested the same seat, while at another election Father and Son were rival candidates. The elections at Montgomery 1580, Carmarthen 1614, and Cardiff 1661, are unique in their way. Cardiff twice rejected a future Lord Chancellor. The Blue Book return of charges made to Candidates at the General Election of 1892, issued from the Home Office, gave the following statistics with reference to South Wales : — BOROUGHS.

He was at the Curlewes in O'Donnell's country, and besides himself and Sir Alex. Ratcliffe, 8 or 9 commanders were lost, and above 240 men. Capt.
