Charles Manners Lushington (1 August 1819 – 27 November 1864)[1][2] was an English Conservative[3] politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1854 to 1857.
Lushington was born at Sanderstead, Surrey, the son of Stephen Rumbold Lushington and his wife Annie Elizabeth Harris.[1] He served in the East Kent Yeomanry Cavalry of which he became captain in November 1853.[4]
He was elected as a Member of Parliament (MP) for the borough of Canterbury at a by-election in August 1854,[5] after the borough's writ of election had been suspended when a Royal Commission found that there had been extensive corruption. Lushington held the seat until the 1857 general election,[2] which he did not contest.[3] At the 1859 general election, he unsuccessfully contested the borough of Nottingham.[6]
Lushington lived at Norton Court, Kent.[1] He died at Boulogne at the age of 45.[7]
Lushington married, on 5 May 1846, Henriette Stafford Northcote, daughter of Sir Henry Stafford Northcote, 7th Baronet and Agnes Mary Cockburn.[1] She died at Florence 20 January 1900, in her 80th year.[8] Their daughter Agnes married Walter Phillimore, 1st Baron Phillimore.[9]
