Sir Henry Jackson, 2nd Baronet

Sir Henry Mather Jackson, 2nd Baronet, DL (23 July 1831 – 8 March 1881)[1] was a British Liberal Party[2] politician who served as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Coventry from 1867 to 1868, and from 1874 to 1881, when he became a High Court judge.

[10] Llantilio Court and the baronetcy were inherited by his son, the 3rd Baronet, who was appointed in 1916 to a tribunal to consider appeals in Monmouthshire against conscription under the Military Service Act 1916.

[11] As Chairman of the Monmouthshire Appeals Tribunal,[12] the third baronet was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in June 1918, for "services in connection with the war".

[17] He was commissioned in June 1876 as a Deputy Lieutenant[3] of Monmouthshire,[18] a position also held from May 1885 by his son, Sir Henry Mather Jackson, 3rd Baronet.

[20] He left Parliament in 1881 when he was appointed as a judge of the Queen's Bench division[13] of the High Court,[21] but died shortly afterwards, aged 49.
