453 Dennis Rearden
Constituency : Athlone 1865-8
Dennis replaced John Ennis at Athlone.
Dennis was a Catholic. Dennis had a long correspondence with Gladstone who had questioned his support for the Liberals. Dennis refuted this saying "I supported all that was endurable in your Irish Reform Bill", Dennis also suggested that Queen Victoria should abdicate for persistently retreating from London early. The New York Times refereed to him as "a common, noisy man" and criticised Gladstone for getting involved in a discourse with him. In 1866 he was summoned for assaulting someone.
