ONSLOW, ARTHUR (1691-1768) , English politician, elder son of Foot Onslow (d. 1710), was born at Chelsea on the 1st of October 1691. Educated at Winchester and at Wadham College,
Oxford
 , he became a barrister and in 1720 entered
parliament
  as a member for the borough of Guildford. Seven years later he became one of the members for Surrey, and he retained this seat until 1761. In 1728 he was elected
Speaker
  of the
House
  of Commons, being the third member of his family to hold this office; he was also
chancellor
  to George II.'s queen, Caroline, and from 1734 to 1742 he was treasurer of the navy. He retired from the position of
Speaker
  and from
parliament
  in 1761, and enjoyed an
annuity
  of 3000 until his death on the 17th of February 1768. As Speaker, Onslow was a conspicuous success, displaying know-ledge, tact and firmness in his office; in his leisure
hours
  he was a collector of books.
Speaker Onslow's nephew, GEORGE ONSLOW (1731-1792), a son of his brother Richard, was a
lieutenant
 -colonel and member of parliament for Guildford from 176o to 1784. He had a younger brother Richard (1741-1817), who entered the navy and was made an
admiral
  in 1799.
