Sir Richard Nagle, 2nd Baronet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sir Richard Nagle, 2nd Baronet (12 August 1800 – 10 November 1850) was an Irish Member of Parliament.

Nagle lived at Jamestown House, in County Westmeath. He was a magistrate, but was dismissed for presiding over a meeting that was held in opposition to tithes for the Anglican church. At the 1832 UK general election, he stood in County Westmeath for the Repeal Association, and was elected. He held his seat until the 1841 UK general election, when he stood down.[1]

Nagle served a term as High Sheriff of Westmeath, and was also a deputy-lieutenant of the county.[2]
