Benjamin Thomas Williams (19 November 1832 – 21 March 1890)[1] was a Welsh barrister, judge, and Liberal Party politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1878 to 1882.
[3] In 1867, Williams sought to be nominated as a candidate for the second seat for Merthyr Boroughs and held a public meeting at Aberdare to support his candidature.
[5] However, there seems to have been little prospect of his contesting the seat on this occasion and the choice fell in a matter of days upon Arthur Cowell-Stepney, heir to the extensive Stepney family estates in Carmarthenshire.
In May 1878 Williams was elected as a Liberal at an unopposed by-election as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Carmarthen Boroughs.
Ben T. Williams died on 21 March 1890, at the age of 57, at the Joint Counties Lunatic Asylum, Carmarthen.
