ONSLOW, EARL OF. See ONSLOW, GEORGE.
Admitted 23 May, 1707.
Son and heir of Foote Onslow of Woodford, Essex, First Commissioner of Excise. He was born at Chelsea on 1 Oct. 1691. Soon after his call to the Bar, 15 May, 1713, he was made Recorder of Guildford and represented that borough in Parliament in 1720. He was subsequently returned for the county of Surrey and chosen Speaker of the House of Commons on 23 Jan. 1727-8, and this honour was repeated four times, viz., in 1734, 1741, 1747 and 1754. He was elected a Bencher of the Inn 9 Feb. 1727-8. In 1728 he was sworn in of the Privy Council, in the following year was appointed Chancellor to Queen Caroline, and in 1734 made Treasurer of the Navy. This last appointment, however, he resigned as inconsistent with his office of Speaker. His conduct in the chair, during the thirty-three years he occupied it, "was distinguished by talents of the highest order, the most refined dignity, and a zealous watchfulness of the liberties and privileges of Parliament." He retired from the Speakership on 18 March, 1761, and died 17 Feb. 1768.
Mr. Speaker Onslow published no works, but he wrote many marginal notes to Burnet's History of his Own Times, which annotations were published with the edition of that work which appeared in 1823.
