Sir John Newport, 1st Bt NPG D5351

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Robert Cooper, after Stephen Catterson Smith

Known as the 'Political Ferret' for the determination with which he pushed his interests in the House of Commons, Newport was a staunch Whig and steady suppporter of Catholic emancipation. He regularly raised Irish affairs in Parliament and in 1806 became Chancellor of the Irish Exchequer. He later refused to join Lord Liverpool's government because he opposed Catholic relief.
