Constituency : Sligo Borough 1865-8
The Liberals made their biggest advances in the 1865 election in Ireland with nine gains including Sligo where many of Palmerston's tenants were voters. Richard's Tory opponent actually complained to Palmerston that his agents had intimidated the tenants.
Richard was a sergeant and a barrister.
He died in 1880 aged 65. His daughter Lily was a friend of John Ruskin.
