BERRYER, ANTOINE PIERRE (179o-1868)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 810 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BEC-BER
BERRYER, ANTOINE PIERRE (179o-1868) , French advocate and parliamentary orator, was the son of an eminent advocate and counsellor to the parlement. He was educated at the College de Juilly, on leaving which he adopted the profession of the law; he was admitted advocate in 1811, and in the same year he married. In the
great
  conflict of the period between
Napoleon
  I. and the Bourbons,
Berryer
 , like his father, was an ardent Legitimist; and in the
spring
  of 1815, at the opening of the campaign of the Hundred Days, he followed Louis XVIII. to
Ghent
  as a volunteer. After the second restoration he distinguished himself as a courageous advocate of moderation in the treatment of the military adherents of the emperor. He

Berry
  (Paris, 1883).
assisted his father and Dupin in the unsuccessful defence of Marshal Ney before the chamber of peers; and he undertook alone the defence of General Cambronnt and General Debelle, procuring the acquittal of the former and the pardon of the latter. By this time he had a very large business as advocate, and was engaged on behalf of journalists in many press prosecutions. He stood forward with a noble resolution to maintain the freedom of the press, and severely censured the rigorous
measures
  of the police department. In 1830, not long before the fall of Charles X.,
Berryer
  was elected a member of the chamber of deputies. He appeared there as the champion of the king and encouraged him in his reactionary policy. After the revolution of July, when the Legitimists withdrew in a
body
 , Berryer alone retained his seat as deputy. He resisted, but unsuccessfully, the abolition of the hereditary peerage. He advocated trial by jury in press prosecutions, the extension of municipal franchises and other liberal
measures
 . In May 1832 he hastened from Paris to see the duchess of
Berry
  on her landing in the south of France for the purpose of organizing an insurrection in favour of her son, the duke of Bordeaux, since known as the Comte de Chambord. Berryer attempted to turn her from her purpose; and failing in this he set out for Switzerland. He was, however, arrested, imprisoned and brought to trial as one of the insurgents. He was immediately acquitted. In the following year he pleaded for the liberation of the duchess, made a memorable speech in defence of Chateaubriand, who was prosecuted for his violent attacks on the government of Louis Philippe, and undertook the defence of several Legitimist journalists. Among the more noteworthy events of his subsequent career were his defence of Louis
Napoleon
  after the ridiculous affair of Boulogne, in 184o, and a visit to England in December 1843, for the purpose of formally acknowledging the pretendor, the duke of Bordeaux, then living in London, as
Henry
  V. and lawful king of France. Berryer was an active member of the National Assembly convoked after the revolution of February 1848, again visited the pretender, then at Wiesbaden, and still fought in the old cause. This long parliamentary career was closed by a courageous protest against the coup d'etat of December 2, 1851. After a lapse of twelve years, however, he appeared once more in his forsaken field as a deputy to the Corps Legislatif. Berryer was elected member of the French Academy in 1854. A visit paid by this famous orator to Lord Brougham in 1865 was made the occasion of a banquet given in his honour by the benchers of the Temple and of Lincoln's Inn. In November 1868 he was removed by his own desire from Paris to his country seat at Augerville, and there he died on the 29th of the same month.
