Henry Conyngham, 1st Marquess Conyngham

In December of the same year, he was created Viscount Conyngham, of Slane in the County of Meath, in the Peerage of Ireland.

However, there were anti-ballot riots in the county: two attempts to carry out the ballot at Tulla were met with opposition.

[4][5] In August 1800, he was elected as one of the twenty-eight original Irish representative peer to sit in the British House of Lords.

[9] In December 1821, he was sworn of the Privy Council and appointed Lord Steward, a post he retained until 1830.

Lord Conyngham died at Hamilton Place, London, in December 1832, aged 66, and was succeeded by his second but eldest surviving son.
