James Alexander Pringle KC (18 August 1874 - 7 July 1935)〔(THE HOUSE OF COMMONS CONSTITUENCIES BEGINNING WITH "F" ), leighrayment.com〕 was a barrister and Unionist politician in Northern Ireland. James Pringle was the son of Henry Pringle, of Clonbay House, Clones, Co. Monaghan, Ireland. He was admitted, firstly as a solicitor in 1900, and was then called to the Bar of Ireland at King's Inns, Dublin twelve years later. After just nine years, in 1921, he was called to the Inner Bar - becoming King's Counsel (K.C.); traditionally, one must be a member of the utter bar for ten years. Pringle stood for the UK Parliament in Fermanagh and Tyrone in the 1922 and 1923 UK general elections, on each occasion being narrowly defeated by two Nationalist Party members. In 1924, the Nationalists stood aside, and Pringle was elected alongside fellow Ulster Unionist Party member Charles Falls, easily beating two Sinn Féin members.〔(electionsinireland.org )〕 Pringle did not stand in 1929, when two Nationalist Party members gained the constituency unopposed. A Presbyterian, Pringle was a cousin of Victoria Cross winning doctor John Alexander Sinton.〔Christophers, Rickard, "John Alexander Sinton 1884-1956", Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society, vol. 2, 1956〕 At the Northern Ireland general election, 1929, Pringle stood as a Local Option candidate in Larne, but was not elected.〔John F. Harbinson, ''The Ulster Unionist Party, 1882-1973'', p.186〕 Pringle lived at Cranmore Park, Malone Road, Belfast. His son, Prof. John Seton Pringle, became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons and married Nancy Chaloner (a descendant of John Cole, 1st Baron Mountflorence, Sir William Montgomery, 1st Baronet, John Beresford and Marcus Beresford, 1st Earl of Tyrone).〔(Person Page - 27708 ), thePeerage.com]〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「James Pringle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
