The Right Hon. William George Hylton Jolliffe, first Baron Hylton, who seconded the Address, is the son of the Rev. William Jolliffe, by the daughter and coheir of Sir Abraham Pytches, Knt.; was born in 1800; and married, in 1825, the second daughter of the Hon. Berkeley Paget. He was created a Baronet in 1821; and, as Sir William Jolliffe, was, in a peculiar way, for many years a prominent member of the House of Commons. He was member for Petersfield from 1830 to 1831, was rejected for that borough in 1832 and 1835, but regained his seat and held it continuously afterwards in 1837. Having been appointed Under Secretary for the Home Department in Lord Derby's Government in 1852, on his retirement from that office he became chief"whipper-in," or manager to the Conservative party, which function he discharged both in and out of office. He was Patronage Secretary to the Treasury in Lord Derby's second Administration, in 1858-9. Shortly after the cessation of this Government, Sir William Jolliffe—having been previously created a Privy Councillor—gave up the onerous duty of manager of his party, and was presented with a testimonial, subscribed for by his friends and adherents, for the services he had rendered. When the present Ministry acceded to power in 1866, a peerage was confirmed on Sir William Jolliffe, and he now sits in the Upper House as the first Baron Hylton.
