JAMES See also:ABERCROMBY, 1ST See also:BARON (1776-'858) , third son of See also:General See also:Sir See also:Ralph Abercromby, was See also:born on the 7th of See also:November 1776. He was called to the See also:bar at See also:Lincoln's See also:Inn in '8o', and became a See also:commissioner in See also:bankruptcy, and subsequently steward for the estates of the 5th See also:duke of See also:Devonshire. In 1807 he was chosen member of See also:parliament for the See also:- BOROUGH (A.S. nominative burh, dative byrig, which produces some of the place-names ending in bury, a sheltered or fortified place, the camp of refuge of a tribe, the stronghold of a chieftain; cf. Ger. Burg, Fr. bor, bore, bourg)

borough of See also:Midhurst, and in '812 was returned for See also:Calne by the See also:influence of the 3rd See also:marquess of See also:Lansdowne. He attached himself to the Whigs, but his See also:chief See also:interest was reserved for Scottish questions, and on two occasions he sought to See also:change the method of electing representatives to parliament for the See also:city of See also:Edinburgh. When the Whigs under See also:George See also:Canning came into See also:power in '827, Abercromby was made See also:judge-advocategeneral, and became chief baron of the See also:exchequer of See also:Scotland in '83o, when he resigned his seat in parliament. This See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office was abolished in 1832, and Abercromby received a See also:pension of £2000 a See also:year, and was sent as member for Edinburgh to the reformed parliament. After being an unsuccessful See also:candidate for the office of See also:speaker he joined the See also:cabinet of See also:Earl See also:Grey in 1834 as See also:master of the See also:mint. Again a candidate for the speaker-See also:ship in the new parliament of 1835, Abercromby was elected to this office after an exceptionally keen contest by a See also:majority of ten votes. As speaker he was not very successful in quelling disorder, but he introduced several important reforms in the management of private bills. Resigning his office in May 1839 he was created Baron Dunfermline of Dunfermline, and granted a pension of £4000 a year. He continued his interest in the affairs of Edinburgh, and was one of the founders of the See also:United See also:Industrial school. He died at Colinton See also:House, Midlothian, on the '7th of See also:April '858, and was succeeded in the See also:title by his only son, Ralph. His wife was Marianne, daughter of See also:Egerton See also:Leigh of See also:West See also:- HALL
