717 Montague Guest

Constituency : Youghal 1869-74, Wareham 1880-85

Montague  took  over  from  Christopher  Weguelin  whose  election  had  been  voided.

Montague  was  a  baronet's  son  whose  brother  Ivor  was  created  a  baron.

In  his  second  spell  as  an  MP  Montague  became  preoccupied  with  French  actions  in  North  Africa  and  persistently  badgered  the  Foreign  Office  about  them.

In  1880  Montague  headed  a  deputation  to  the  Lord  Chancellor to  protest  about  the  behaviour  of  a maverick  judge  called  Lefroy.

Montague  was  unsuccesful  at  Poole  in  1885.

He  died  in  1909  aged  70.
