Cornelius Smelt (August 1748 – 28 November 1832) was an administrator who served as Lieutenant Governor of the Isle of Man from 1805 until his death in 1832. An officer in the British Army, he served first with the 14th Regiment of Foot and then the 35th (Royal Sussex) Regiment of Foot, acting as Deputy Governor of Southsea Castle in the late 18th century. Upon his death, a memorial was erected in Castletown in the Isle of Man.
==Career==
Smelt was born in August 1748 in Upper Swaledale, Yorkshire, as the second son of William Smelt and Dorothy Cayley. He served in the British Army, beginning his career with the 14th Regiment of Foot, and was promoted to Lieutenant on 2 March 1772. Four years later, on 9 July 1776, he was gazetted to the 35th (Royal Sussex) Regiment of Foot. On 17 July 1787, as a Captain, he was assigned as Deputy Governor of Southsea Castle. On 15 June 1805, Smelt was the first royally appointed Lieutenant Governor of the Isle of Man;〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Constitutional development )〕 his political liberalism was seen as a balance for the Dukes of Atholl, who ruled the Isle of Man first as Kings of Mann, then Lords of Mann, and durings Smelt's time, Governors of the Isle of Man. He was appointed as "Inspecting Field-Officer of Fencibles and Volunteers in the Isle of Man" on 26 October 1805, granting him the temporary rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He acted as a restraining influence on some of the modernising ambitions of John Murray, 4th Duke of Atholl, the last Governor.〔 He died in office on 28 November 1832 at Castle Rushen, and was buried under the altar at St Mary's Church in Castletown. When that church was deconsecrated in the 1980s, his body was exhumed and reinterred in the Bacon family vault alongside his daughter at St Peter's Church in Onchan.
