Bartholemew Bouverie (29 October 1753 – 31 May 1835), was a British politician.
Bouverie was the third son of William Bouverie, 1st Earl of Radnor, by his second wife Rebecca Alleyne, daughter of John Alleyne, of Four Hills, Barbados, and sister of Sir John Alleyne, 1st Baronet.[1] He was the half-brother of Jacob Pleydell-Bouverie, 2nd Earl of Radnor, and the full brother of William Henry Bouverie and Edward Bouverie.[2]
His paternal grandparents were Jacob Bouverie, 1st Viscount Folkestone and Mary Clarke (the daughter of Bartholomew Clarke, merchant of Hardingstone and Mary (née Young), sister and sole heir to Hitch Younge MP).[3][4]
He was educated at Harrow in c. 1766 and University College, Oxford in 1772.[2][5]
Career
Bouverie was returned to Parliament for Downton in December 1779, but was unseated on petition already in February of the following year. He was once again returned for the constituency in 1790, and continued to represent it until 1796. From 1802 to 1806 he was a Commissioner for auditing public accounts.[2]
The latter year he was returned for Downton for a third time, and now held the seat until 1812 and again between 1819 and June 1826, when he lost his seat. However, he was once again elected in December 1826, and continued to sit for the constituency until 1830. In 1829 he had been appointed a Metropolitan Commissioner for Lunacy, which he remained until his death. Bouverie was seldom active in the House of Commons and is not known to have ever spoken.[2]
