419 Sir Colman O' Loghlen
Constituency : County Clare 1863-77
Sir Colman came in at Clare following the death of Francis Calcutt.
Sir Colman was an Irish baronet, the son of a distinguished Irish judge. He was educated by the Jesuits and became a lawyer.
Sir Colman spoke frequently in the Commons on Irish matters. In 1867 he introduced a bill on libel which favoured the press by protecting them in the reporting of public meetings.
Sir Colman was appointed Judge Advocate-General by Gladstone in 1868, holding the office until 1870.
He died in 1877 aged 57. He was succeeded by his son Bryen in the by-election.
