ORIEL, JOHN FOSTER, BARON (1740-1828)

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 269 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ORC-PAI
ORIEL, JOHN FOSTER, BARON (1740-1828) , Irish politician, was the son of Anthony Foster of Louth, an Irish judge. He was returned to the Irish
parliament
  in 1761, and made his mark in
financial
  and commercial questions, being appointed chancellor of the Irish exchequer in 1784. His law giving bounties on the exportation of corn and imposing heavy taxes on its importation is noted by Lecky as responsible for making
Ireland an arable instead of a pasture country. In 1785 he became
Speaker
 . He opposed the Union, and ultimately refused to surrender the
Speaker
 's mace, which was kept by his family. He was returned to the united
parliament
 , and in 1804 became chancellor of the Irish exchequer under Pitt. In 1821 he was created a peer of the United Kingdom as Baron Oriel of Ferrard in the county of Louth, and died on the 23rd of August 1828. His wife (d. 1824) had in 1790 been created an Irish peeress, as Baroness Oriel, and in 1797 Viscountess Ferrard; and their son,
Thomas
 
Henry
  (d. 1843), who married Viscountess Massereene (in her own right) and took the name of Sheffington, inherited all these titles; the later Viscounts Massereene being their descendants.
