Sir James Flower, 2nd Baronet (14 December 1794 – 17 May 1850)[1] was a British Conservative Party[2] politician.
[3] In June 1841, he was asked by some of the electors in the borough of Thetford in Norfolk to contest the seat at the imminent general election.
[5] A show of hands declared to be in favour of Flower and his fellow Conservative Bingham Baring, but the third candidate and sitting Liberal MP Earl of Euston demanded a poll.
Amidst many challenges to the validity of votes, the mayor refused to exercise a casting vote, and returned the tied result;[5] all three candidates were declared elected to the two seats.
