Lord Naas, M.P. for Kildare, 1850. Creator: Unknown.

Lord Naas, M.P. for Kildare, 1850. Portrait from a photograph by Kilburn of Irish politician Richard Southwell Bourke. 'At the general election in 1847, in conjunction with the Marquis of Kildare, he contested the county [Kildare], on Protectionist and Conservative principles, against John Augustus O'Neil, and was returned, after a severe contest...At the subsequent general election, the tables were so completely turned against him, that his carriage, under the supposition of his being in it, was thrown over one of the bridges. He, however, escaped, and by 1847 having changed both his religious and political faith, appeared as a Radical, Repeal, and Roman Catholic candidate for Kildare'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
