Bartholomew Gugy
Bartholomew Conrad Augustus Gugy (November 6, 1796 – June 11, 1876) represented Sherbrooke in the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada and the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada. He played a prominent military role in the Lower Canada Rebellion as Colonel of the cavalry at the Battle of Saint-Charles, afterwards seizing the ''Column of Liberty'' and carrying it in triumph back to Montreal. He was Police Magistrate at Montreal and Adjutant-General to the Militia of Lower Canada. He lived between Montreal and his father's manor house at Beauport. He was a large landowner having also inherited the Seigneuries of Yamachiche, Rivière-du-Loup, Grandpré, Grosbois, and Dumontier.
==Early life==
He was born at Trois-Rivières in 1796, the son of Lt.-Col. The Hon. Louis Gugy and Juliana O'Connor. As a Huguenot, and the son of a Royalist Colonel of the Swiss Guard who served with the British Army too, he was admitted to the elitist school of the Reverend John Strachan in Cornwall, Upper Canada. He was the brother-in-law of Judge Samuel Wentworth Monk, nephew of Sir James Monk, Chief Justice of Lower Canada.
On the outbreak of the War of 1812, Gugy joined the Canadian Fencibles, becoming a lieutenant. He fought alongside his father and distinguished himself at the Battle of the Chateauguay. Afterwards, he studied law and was called to the bar in 1822. He quickly established a numerous and lucrative clientele for himself, but he was better known for his role in politics and the military. In 1831, Gugy was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada for Sherbrooke, voting against the Ninety-Two Resolutions. He was re-elected up until the Lower Canada Rebellion of 1837. As one of the few Tories who spoke French, he readily engaged in verbal bouts with Louis-Joseph Papineau. Gugy fought with "supple oratory, using irony, banter, sarcasm, and insolence," exasperating his opponent.
