Joseph Nicholas Bell

Joseph Nicholas Bell (7 March 1864 – 17 December 1922) was a British Labour politician and Justice of the Peace.

In 1896, Bell married Florence Harrison, a teacher and prominent Independent Labour Party activist.

He was then selected by the Labour Party to fight the Newcastle East constituency at the 1922 General Election.

Already ill, he was unable to travel from London to campaign in the seat, but was elected in his absence,[2] defeating the Coalition Liberal MP, Harry Barnes.
