		CONSTITUENCY ABOLISHED 1983
		Sir Bryan O'Loghlen,3rd baronet, MP for Clare 1877-1879
		O'Loghlen was educated at Oscott College, Birmingham, and Trinity College, Dublin. He
		graduated B.A. in 1856, and in the same year was called to the Irish Bar. He practised law
		in Ireland for five years before deciding to emigrate to Melbourne, Victoria, where he
		arrived in January 1862.
		In 1863, O'Loghlen was appointed Crown Prosecutor for Victoria, a position he held until 1877
		when he unsuccessfully contested a seat in the Victorian Legislative Assembly. In the same
		year, his older brother Sir Colman Michael O'Loghlen, 2nd baronet, died and O'Loghlen
		succeeded him as the third baronet. His older brother had represented County Clare in the
		House of Commons, and on his death, Sir Bryan O'Loghlen was returned in his place. From the
		newspapers of the time, it appears that Sir Bryan did not play any active role in the by-
		election in which he was returned - his name was put forward by the Roman Catholic clergy
		of County Clare. He was certainly not present in the constituency at the time of the election,
		nor did he return from Victoria to take his seat in the House of Commons.
		In 1878, Sir Bryan was successful in an election for the Victorian Legislative Assembly and was
		immediately appointed Attorney-General in the administration of Graham Berry. His acceptance
		of this appointment gave rise to the question of whether he had accepted an office of profit
		under the Crown, which would automatically disqualify him as a member of the Commons. More
		broadly, the question was whether the definition of "office of profit" extended to Colonial
		appointments.
		In order to answer this question, the House appointed a Select Committee to look into the
		matter. The Committee's initial report in August 1878 stated that it was only fair that Sir Bryan
		be given the opportunity to defend his position, and the matter was carried over to the next
		session. The matter was finally decided on 25 April 1879. The following report of the
		proceedings appeared in the 'Sheffield and Rotherham Independent' on 26 April 1879:-
		'On the consideration of the report from the Select Committee on Clare County Writ, Mr. Cross
		[the Home Secretary] said the committee appointed to inquire into the question of whether Sir
		Bryan O'Loghlen was precluded from taking his seat in the House owing to his having accepted
		the post of Attorney-General for the Colony of Victoria, had fully considered the matter, and
		they were of opinion he was disqualified by the statutes, as the appointment he had accepted
		was an office or place of profit. He moved that the seat be declared vacant.
		'Sir Julian Goldsmid moved an amendment to the effect that it was undesirable to decide by
		resolution a doubtful question of grave importance involving the status of members of the
		House, and showing it was expedient that a bill should be brought in to settle the law relating
		to the disqualifications caused by accepting Colonial offices. He contended that as the
		Victoria Colony was established as a self-governing constitutional Colony the House had
		nothing to do in the election of Sir Bryan O'Loghlen, who really was non-official as concerned
		this country, the House having nothing to do with his appointment or his acceptance of it.
		'Sir Henry James said if the statute existed on the statute books, and controlled the Colonial
		constitution, they had to carry it into effect, but the whole question was whether the office
		was a new office, and was under the Crown. Now, the Governor of Victoria was appointed by
		the Crown, and was invested with powers by which he had appointed Sir Bryan O'Loghlen.
		Therefore there could be no doubt that the appointment was a Crown appointment.'
		When the House voted on the matter, members voted overwhelmingly in favour of the Home
		Secretary's motion that the seat be declared vacant, with the result that a new writ was
		issued for the constituency.
		Sir Bryan remained in Victoria for the rest of his life, becoming Premier of Victoria between
		July 1881 and March 1883.
		Richard Fort, MP for Clitheroe 1950-1959
		Fort died in a car accident in May 1959. The following report of the subsequent inquest into
		his death appeared in 'The Times' on 19 June 1959:-
		'Mr. Richard Fort, aged 51, Conservative M.P. for Clitheroe, lost control of his car before the
		crash in which he died, Mr. H.L. Franklin, the coroner, said yesterday at the resumed inquest
		at Littlemoor, Oxfordshire. The jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death on Mr. Fort, whose
		car was involved in a collision with a coach on the Oxford-Henley road between Sandford and
		Nuneham Courtnay on May 16.
		'Edward George Cook, of Stewart Avenue, Hendon, Middlesex, a passenger in the coach, said:
		"I saw a small Austin approaching round a slight curve. The driver seemed to be bent over the
		wheel. He left the white line and came stright towards the coach." Another passenger, Arthur
		Leonard Enstone, of Mayfield Crescent, Hendon, said the driver of the car "was as white as a
		sheet and just staring at us."
		'Dr. Walter Richards, assistant pathologist at Radcliffe University, Oxford, said Mr. Fort's heart
		was slightly abnormal, but not sufficiently to indicate a heart attack before the accident. He
		was suffering from a gallstone, which might have caused him pain.
		'Returning the verdict, the jury foreman said that the medical evidence had not given them a
		clue as to the state of the car driver.'
