Charles A'Court
Charles Henry Wyndham A'Court (full name Charles Henry Wyndham A'Court Repington) (14 October 1819 – 29 October 1903)[1][2] was a Liberal Party politician in the United Kingdom.
He was born the son of General Charles Ashe à Court-Repington of Heytesbury, Wiltshire and was admitted to St John's College, Cambridge in 1837.[3]
He was elected at the 1852 general election as Member of Parliament (MP) for Wilton in Wiltshire, but resigned his seat in 1855 when he was appointed as a special commissioner of property and income tax in Ireland.[4] In his three years as an MP, Hansard records that he never made a speech.[5]
He married Emily Currie in 1854 and had two sons and two daughters. His eldest son Lieutenant Colonel Charles à Court Repington was a leading Times military correspondent.
