Peregrine Bertie, brother of the fourth Earl of Abingdon, died shortly after being elected MP for Oxford earlier that year.
[14] The election was a relatively easy victory for Annesley, who did not spend on it, and whose only opposition, in the form of George Ogilvie, came from a minority of freemen and has been described as "feeble and opportunist".
[16] He supported the Government of William Pitt the younger, but left relatively mark on Parliament's history, being recorded voting on only a handful of occasions, including on the Test Act in Scotland.
[17] It is possible that it was Annesley who supported John Ingram Lockhart to stand (unsuccessfully) in 1802 in an effort to oust Peters.
[18] He never returned to Parliament, although he remained active in local politics, in 1806, for instance, he opposed the Duke of Marlborough's candidate for Oxford.
