Henry George Allen MA JP QC (29 July 1815 – 20 November 1908)[1] was a British lawyer and Liberal politician.
Allen was educated at Rugby School and at Christ Church, Oxford and was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn in May 1841.
[4] During the 1885-86 Parliament it became clear that Allen's views ran contrary to those of the more radical wing of the Liberal Party.
[5] To compound matters, Allen voted against Gladstone's Irish Home Rule Bill and joined the ranks of the Liberal Unionists.
[5] Meanwhile, the Conservatives of Milford Haven suggested that the party stand down in favour of Allen contesting the Boroughs as a Liberal Unionist.
