GOULBURN, HENRY (1784-1856), English statesman, was born in London on March 19, 1784, and educated at Trinity college, Cambridge. Member of parliament for Horsham in 1808, he was appointed under-secretary for home affairs in 181o, and under-secretary for war and the colonies in 1812 ; he became a privy councillor in 1821, and soon after was appointed chief sec retary to the lord-lieutenant of Ireland, a position which he held until April 1827. Although frequently denounced as an Orange man, his period of office was on the whole a successful one, and in 1823 he managed to pass the Irish Tithe Composition bill. In January, 1828, he was made chancellor of the exchequer under Wellington. Goulburn was home secretary under Peel for four months in 1835, and in September, 1841, he became chancellor of the exchequer for the second time. Although Peel himself did some of the chancellor's work, Goulburn was responsible for a further reduction in the rate of interest on the national debt, and he aided his chief in the struggle which ended in the repeal of the corn laws. He left office in June, 1846. After representing Horsham in the House of Commons for over four years Goulburn was successively member for St. Germans, for West Looe, and for the city of Armagh. In May, 1831, he was elected for Cam bridge university. He died on Jan. 12, 1856, at Dorking.
