Edward Auchmuty Glover (c. 1816 – 17 March 1862)[1] was an Irish Independent Conservative politician and barrister.
[8][1][9][2][10] In August 1857, Glover was unseated after an Election Petition Committee found that he did not meet the required property qualification–owning property worth £300 a year for a borough seat–at the time of his election, meaning he was not entitled to be elected an MP.
However, he had previously declared he met the qualification requirements—these properties he had no interest in.
[1][9][2][10] After his case was referred to the Attorney-General, Glover was arrested on 23 December 1857, and he was later found guilty, by the Old Bailey of making a false declaration regarding this qualification.
[1][9][2][10] Glover again contested the seat at the 1859 general election, as an independent candidate, but was unsuccessful, ending votes last in the poll.
