Jonathan Raine

[4] He also became known as a special pleader, went the Northern Circuit, and gained a reputation for Latin verse.

[6][7] In 1800 Matthew and Jonathan Raine were executors for John Warner, the radical Whig cleric and scholar.

[5] At this point John Hammond, a Unitarian academic friend of Frend, hoped that Raine would prove a reformer of the "augean stable".

[1] In 1818 his seat at Newport, while "owned" by the 3rd Duke of Northumberland, was actually contested by candidates put up by Thomas John Phillipps, who also had property there.

[1] As a Welsh judge, he stood down for Newport in order to contest the seat again: he was re-elected at the by-election, after Rowland Stephenson opposed him.
