John Aspinall (politician)

John Thomas Walshman Aspinall (c. 1815 – 12 November 1865)[1] was an English Conservative Party politician who sat in the House of Commons for two months in 1853.

At the 1852 general election, Aspinall stood unsuccessfully for the borough of Clitheroe[2] in Lancashire.

[2] The by-election result was immediately denounced by the agent of the Liberal Party candidate, on the grounds that Aspinall was ineligible due to bribery in the previous contest, and bribery had taken place again.

[3] A petition was lodged, and after the committee found that bribery had taken place on Aspinall's behalf,[4] his election was voided on 1 August 1853.
