"1st Baron Wharncliffe" James

Stuart-Wortley Signed Free Frank Dated 1834. 

ES-163A

Colonel James 1st Baron Wharncliffe, PC (6 October 1776 –

19 December 1845) was a British soldier and politician. A grandson of Prime

Minister John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute, he held

office under Sir Robert Peel as Lord Privy Seal between

1834 and 1835 and as Lord President of the Council between

1841 and 1845.Stuart-Wortley was the son of Colonel James Stuart-Wortley-Mackenzie, son

of John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute and his

wife Mary Wortley-Montagu, Baroness Mountstuart in her own

right, daughter of Edward Wortley Montagu and Lady Mary Pierrepont. His father had

assumed the additional surname of Wortley as heir to his mother, taking later

also that of Mackenzie (which his son in later life discarded) as heir to his

great-uncle James Stuart-Mackenzie of Rosehaugh.

Stuart-Wortley's mother was Margaret, daughter of Lieutenant-General Sir David

Cunynghame, 3rd Baronet. He was educated at Charterhouse School. Stuart-Wortley

was commissioned into the 48th Foot in 1790, transferred to the 7th Foot in

1791, and purchased a Captaincy in

the 72nd Foot in

1793. He was promoted Lieutenant-Colonel in 1797 Foot six

months later. In 1797 he transferred to the Grenadier Guards,

but resigned his commission in 1801. Stuart-Wortley sat as Tory Member of Parliament for the rotten borough of Bossiney in Cornwall

between 1797 and 1818, when he was returned for Yorkshire. His

attitude on various questions became gradually more liberal, and his support of Catholic Emancipation lost him his seat in

1826. He was then raised to the peerage as Baron Wharncliffe, of

Wortley in the County of York, a recognition both of his previous

parliamentary activity and of his high position among the country gentlemen.
