Charles Dundas was created Baron Amesbury in 1832, and
died the same year, leaving one daughter and heiress.
Charles Dundas was called to the bar, but
devoted himself to a political life. He first sat for the borough of Richmond
in 1774, then for Orkney and Shetland (1781-4), again for Richmond and,
finally, for Berkshire, which he represented in ten successive parliaments
(1794-1832). He was, finally, the second eldest member in the house. Dundas
was a liberal in politics. In 1802, on the resignation of Mitford (afterwards
Lord Redesdale), the then speaker, he was nominated, by Sheridan, as his
successor in opposition to Abbot. He, however, withdrew from the contest.
Dundas was counsellor of state for Scotland to the Prince of Wales, and
colonel of the White Horse volunteer cavalry. |
