Biography: Milsington came in for Boston after a contest in 1796, standing on the interest of his father-in-law the Duke of Ancaster. On 14 Dec. 1796 he was granted two weeks’ leave of absence for his private affairs. He voted for Pitt’s assessed taxes, 4 Jan. 1798, and is not known to have spoken or opposed government. His distractions after his wife’s death proved expensive: early in 1802 he had to pay £2,000 damages for crim. con. ‘with Mrs Jackson, daughter of Colonel Bishop’. He did not seek re-election that year.
He died on the Continent 18 Jan. 1835, whereupon the title became extinct. His only son, who in 1809 became heir to the Ancaster estate once he reached the age of 25, was murdered by banditti in Italy in 1819.
Lord Milsington was an English amateur cricketer who made six known appearances in first-class cricket matches from 1792 to 1799. He was mainly associated with Hampshire and was an early member of Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC). He held the office of Member of Parliament (M.P.) for Boston, Lincolnshire between 1796 and 1802.
18 January 1802, Kings Bench, London – Proceedings by Henry Jackson for damages for criminal conversation for seducing his wife Harriet Jackson, née Bishopp and getting her pregnant. Allowed judgment by default to go against him. Argued amount of damages. Damages fixed by jury at £ 2,000. Admitted paternity of child.
