JAMES (1837-1906) , Irish politician, was See also:born at See also:Castle Saunderson, Co. See also:Cavan, on the 1st of See also:October 1837. He was the son of See also:Alexander Saunderson, M.P. for Cavan (d. 1857), his See also:mother being a daughter of the 6th See also:Baron
See also:Farnham. The Irish Saundersons were a 17th See also:century See also:branch of an old See also:family, originally of See also:Durham; a See also:Lincolnshire branch, the Saundersons of Saxby, held the titles of See also:Viscount See also:Castleton (Irish: cr. 1628) and Baron Saunderson (See also:British: cr. 1714) up to 1723. Edward Saunderson was educated abroad, and, having succeeded to the Cavan estates, married in 1865 a daughter of the 3rd Baron Ventry, and in the same See also:year was elected M.P. for the See also:county as a Palmerstonian Liberal. He lost his seat in 1874, and by 1885, when he again entered See also:parliament for See also:North See also:Armagh, he had become a prominent Orangeman and a Conservative; the question of Irish See also:home See also:rule had now come to the front, and Saunderson's See also:political career as a representative Irish Unionist had begun. He had entered the Cavan See also:militia (4th See also:battalion Royal Irish Fusiliers) in 1862, and. was now See also:major (1875), becoming See also:colonel in 1886 and in command of the battalion from 1891 to 1893. Almost from the first he became See also:leader of the Irish Unionist party in the See also:House of See also:Commons, his uncompromising speeches being full of force and See also:humour. In 1898 his services were recognized by his being made a privy councillor. He died on the 21st of October 1906. In private See also:life Colonel Saunderson was well known as a keen yachtsman; his See also:character was deeply marked by stern religious feeling, and his See also:fine sincerity, while endearing him to his See also:friends, never lost him the respect of his opponents.
