Henry Sacheverell, a See also:country See also:gentleman, was See also:born in 1638. His See also:family had held a See also:good position in See also:Derbyshire and See also:Nottinghamshire since the 12th See also:century, the name appearing as Sent Cheveroll in the See also:roll of See also:Battle See also:Abbey, and William inherited large estates from his See also:father.

Gray's See also:Inn in 1667, and in 167o he was elected member of See also:parliament for Derbyshire. He immediately gained a prominent position in the party hostile to the See also:Court, and before he had been six months in the See also:House of See also:Commons he proposed a See also:resolution that all " popish recusants " should be removed from military commands; the See also:motion, enlarged so as to include See also:civil employment, was carried without a See also:division on the 28th of See also:February 1672-1673. This resolution was the forerunner of the Test See also:Act, in the preparation of which Sacheverell took an active See also:part, and which caused the break up of the See also:cabal. He now took part in nearly every debate in the House of Commons, being recognized as one of the, most able of the leaders of the opposition or country party. He strongly opposed the See also:- KING

king's policy of affiance with See also:France, advocating a See also:league with the Dutch instead, and the refusal of supplies until the demands of the Commons should be complied with. Sacheverell took especial See also:interest in the See also:state of the See also:navy and spoke in many debates on this question. In 1677 he carried an address to the king calling upon him to conclude an See also:alliance with the See also:United Provinces against See also:- LOUIS

order Sacheverell made an eloquent protest, asserting the right of the House itself to decide the question of its See also:adjournment. When parliament met See also:early in 1678 assurances were received from Charles II. that he had arranged the See also:treaties demanded by the Commons; but Sacheverell boldly questioned the king's good faith, and warned the Commons that they were being deceived. When the See also:secret treaty with France became known, thus confirming Sacheverell's insight, the latter called for the disbandment of the forces and advocated the refusal of further supplies for military purposes; and in See also:June 1678 he resolutely opposed See also:Lord See also:Danby's proposal to See also:- GRANT (from A.-Fr. graunter, O.

When See also:Titus See also:Oates began his pretended revelations in 167.8 Sacheverell was among those who most firmly believed in the existence of a Popish See also:plot. He was one of the most active investigators of the affair, and one of the managers of the See also:impeachment of the five See also:Catholic peers. He also acted for a See also:- TIME (0. Eng.

He was a member of the committee for drafting the articles of impeachment against Danby in 1678, and was appointed one of the managers of the Commons; and in 1679, when the impeachment, interrupted by the See also:dissolution of parliament, was resumed in the new parliament, he spoke strongly against the validity of Danby's plea of See also:pardon by the king. The allegations made in Sacheverell's report on the examination of Coleman prompted the country party to demand' the exclusion of See also:- JAMES

When Charles offered an alternative See also:- SCHEME (Lat. schema, Gr. oxfjya, figure, form, from the root axe, seen in exeiv, to have, hold, to be of such shape, form, &c.)
scheme (1679) for limiting the See also:powers of a Catholic See also:sovereign, Sacheverell made a See also:great speech in which he pointed out the
insufficiency of the king's terms for securing the object desired by the Whigs. In the conflict between the Petitioners and the See also:Abhorrers he supported the former, and on the 27th of See also:October 168o brought forward a motion asserting the right of petitioning the king to summon parliament, and proposed the impeachment of See also:Chief See also:Justice See also:North as the author of the See also:proclamation against tumultuous petitioning.

He was prosecuted for See also:riot in connexion with the surrender of the See also:charter .of See also:Nottingham in 1682, being tried before Chief Justice See also:Jeffreys, who fined him 500 marks.
At the See also:general See also:election following the See also:death of Charles II. in 1685 Sacheverell lost his seat, and for the next four years he lived in retirement on his estates. In the See also:convention parliament summoned by the See also:prince of See also:Orange, in which he sat for Heytes See also:bury, he spoke in favour of a See also:radical resettlement of the constitution, and served on a committee, of which See also:Somers was chairman, for See also:drawing up a new constitution in the See also:form of the See also:Declaration of Right; and he was one of the representatives of' the Commons In their See also:conference with fhe peers on the question of declaring the throne vacant. William III. appointed Sacheverell a lord of the See also:admiralty, but he resigned the 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 after a few months. He procured the omission of Lord Jeffreys's name, from the Act of See also:Indemnity. In 1690 he moved a famous See also:amendment to the See also:Corporation Bill, proposing the addition of a clause-the purport of which was misrepresented by See also:Macaulay—for disqualifying for office for seven years municipal functionaries who in 'See also:defiance of the See also:majority of their colleagues had surrendered their charters to the See also:Crown. A celebrated debate on this question took See also:place in the House of Commons in See also:January 169o; but the evident intention of the Whigs to perpetuate their own ascendancy by tampering with the See also:franchise contributed largely to the Tory reaction which resulted in the defeat of the Whigs in the elections. of that See also:year. Sacheverell was elected member for Nottingham-See also:shire; but he died on the 9th of October 1691, before taking his seat. In the See also:judgment of Speaker See also:Onslow, Sacheverell was the "ablest parliament See also:man " of the reign of Charles II. He was one of the earliest of English See also:parliamentary orators; his speeches greatly impressed his contemporaries, and in a later See also:generation, as Macaulay observes, they were " a favourite theme of old men who lived to see the conflicts of- See also:Walpole and Pulteney." Though his fame has become dimmed in comparison with that of See also:Shaftesbury, Russell and See also:Sidney, he was not less conspicuous in the parliamentary proceedings of Charles II.'s reign, and he See also:left a more permanent See also:mark than any of them on the constitutional changes of the See also:period.
Sacheverell was twice .married. His first wife was See also:Mary, daughter of William See also:Staunton of Staunton; and his 'second was Jane, daughter of See also:Sir See also:John See also:Newton. His eldest son See also:Robert represented 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.
