Charles Warton

Charles Nicholas Warton (1832 – 31 July 1900) was a barrister and politician who sat in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom as a Conservative from 1880 to 1885.

[2] He held the seat until 1885, during which time he gained a reputation for insisting on the enforcement of procedural rules, thereby hindering the passage of otherwise unopposed bills.

In October 1886 Warton was appointed to the position of Attorney-General of Western Australia, arriving at Fremantle on R.M.S.

[3] His appointment as Attorney General and member of the Executive and Legislative Councils was gazetted on 9 December 1886.

[4] With the exception of a two-month gap in early 1888, he held these appointments until December 1890, when he returned to England and retirement.
