East Worcestershire by-election, 1892 : ウィキペディア英語版 | East Worcestershire by-election, 1892 The East Worcestershire by-election, 1892 was a parliamentary by-election held for the House of Commons constituency of East Worcestershire on 30 March 1892. ==Vacancy== The by-election was caused by the expulsion from Parliament of the sitting Liberal Unionist MP, George Hastings. Hastings had held the seat since 1880, first as a Liberal but after 1886 as a Liberal Unionist. In March 1892 he pled guilty at the Old Bailey to an indictment accusing him of misappropriating trust money in his charge. As a Trustee for property under the will of a Major John Brown, he had appropriated over £20,000 from the estate. This left the children of Major Brown a sum of around £7,000. In his summing up the judge, Mr Justice A L Smith, said that Hastings’ actions had left the four children of Major Brown “on the verge of want”. He then sentenced Hastings to a term of five years penal servitude. 〔The Times, 12 March 1892 p12〕 By a motion put to the House of Commons on 21 March 1892 by Arthur Balfour, in his role as Leader of the House it was agreed to expel Hastings from Parliament. 〔The Times, 22 March 1892 p6〕
