George Robert Smith (MP)

George Robert Smith (2 May 1793 – 22 February 1869)[2] was an English banker and Whig politician.

His uncle Lord Carrington was patron of the pocket borough of Midhurst in Sussex, for which his father was a Member of Parliament (MP) from 1830 to 1831.

George Robert was returned as MP at the 1831 general election, but the Reform Act abolished most of the family's pocket boroughs, and Smith was left without a seat at the 1832 general election.

He held the seat only until the next general election, in 1841, having apparently fallen out with his conservative cousin.
