CANTERBURY, CHARLES MANNERS-SUTTON, 1St VISCOUNT (1780-1845), speaker of the House of Commons, was the elder son of Charles Manners-Sutton (q.v), afterwards archbishop of Canterbury, and was born on Jan. 29, 1780. Edu cated at Eton and Trinity college, Cambridge, he was returned (1806) to parliament in the Tory interest as member for Scar borough, and in 1809 became judge-advocate-general in the min istry of Spencer Perceval. In June 1817 he was elected speaker in succession to Charles Abbot, created Baron Colchester, refusing to exchange this office in 1827 for that of home secretary. In 1833 he was elected speaker for the seventh time. Some feeling had been shown against him on this occasion owing to his Tory pro clivities, and the Whigs frequently complained that outside the House he was a decided partisan. When a new parliament met in Feb. 1835 a sharp contest ensued for the speakership, and Manners-Sutton was defeated by James Abercromby, afterwards Lord Dunfermline. In March 1835 he was raised to the peerage. He died in London on July 21, 1845.
