'''Samuel Sandys, 1st Baron Sandys''', {{post-nominals|country=GBR|PC}} (10 August 1695{{snd}}21 April 1770) was a British politician in the 18th century. He held numerous posts in the [[government of the United Kingdom]], namely [[Chancellor of the Exchequer]], [[Leader of the House of Commons]], [[Cofferer of the Household]] and [[First Lord of Trade]]. He was also a [[Justice in Eyre]] and [[Worcester (UK Parliament constituency)|Member of Parliament for Worcester]] and holder of the [[Baron Sandys|Sandys Barony]]. He was the son of [[Edwin Sandys (MP for Worcestershire)|Edwin Sandys]], MP of [[Ombersley]], [[Worcestershire]] – himself a descendant of [[Edwin Sandys (archbishop)|Edwin Sandys]], [[Archbishop of York]].

'''Samuel Sandys, 1st Baron Sandys''' {{post-nominals|country=GBR|PC}} (10 August 1695 – 21 April 1770) was an English [[Whigs (British political party)|Whig]] politician and peer who represented [[Worcester (UK Parliament constituency)|Worcester]] in the [[House of Commons of Great Britain|British House of Commons]] from 1718 until 1743 when he was created [[Baron Sandys]]. He held numerous posts in the [[government of the United Kingdom]], namely [[Chancellor of the Exchequer]], [[Leader of the House of Commons]], [[Cofferer of the Household]] and [[First Lord of Trade]]. He was also a [[justice in eyre]].<ref name=DNB>{{cite DNB|wstitle=Sandys, Samuel|last=Barker|first=G. F. R.|volume=50}}</ref>


==Career==
==Early life==
Sandys was the eldest son of [[Edwin Sandys (MP for Worcestershire)|Edwin Sandys]] {{post-nominals|country=GBR|MP}} (himself a descendant of [[Edwin Sandys (bishop)|Edwin Sandys]], [[Archbishop of York]]), and his wife Alice, daughter of Sir [[James Rushout]] {{post-nominals|country=GBR|Bt|MP}}.<ref name=HOP>{{cite web|last=Sedgwick|first=Romney R.|url = http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1715-1754/member/sandys-samuel-1695-1770| title= SANDYS, Samuel (1695-1770), of Ombersley, Worcs.| publisher= History of Parliament Online| access-date = 2 May 2019 }}</ref>
Mr. Sandys reached the peak of his parliamentary and political career in 1721. In the proceedings, on 10 February, Chamberlain numbered Sandys among the four ‘chief speakers’ of the Commons. He had an impressive track record. During the first sitting he made about 61 recorded speeches. He also received approximately 29 committee appointments, and was named to six conferences. On 5 February, Sandys was nominated to the prestigious privileges committee and the sub-committee appointed by the committee of the whole House to draw up a petition to [[George I of Great Britain]] in defence of their liberties on February 5, 1721.


He was educated at [[New College, Oxford]], matriculating in 1711 aged 16.<ref>{{alox1|title=Sandys, Samuel (2)}}</ref> He left Oxford in 1715 without graduating, and embarked on a [[Grand Tour]] of Continental Europe.<ref>{{cite book|last=Davis|first=Martin|date=2017|title=Samuel 1st Baron Sandys of Ombersley, 1695–1770|series=Sandys of Ombersley: Fragments of nine lives|volume=1|page=8|url=https://www.academia.edu/39375587|access-date=30 September 2019}}</ref>
One of the unique qualities of Sandys was his unique ability to draft excellent petitions. On 12 February, he was asked to draft an excellent petition to George I, defending the Commons’ right to [[freedom of speech]]. During this Parliament Sandys often contributed to debates on electoral disputes, but not always with authority, for on 7 February he felt obliged to explain that he had not intended to oppose the examination of sheriffs’ returns in his speech on the Gatton dispute.

==Opposition==
In 1718, at the age of 22, Sandys was elected MP for [[Worcester (UK Parliament constituency)|Worcester]], as a [[Whigs (British political party)|Whig]]. He represented the seat for 25 years.

Initially a supporter of [[Robert Walpole]]'s government, in 1725 Sandys and his uncle [[Sir John Rushout, 4th Baronet|Sir John Rushout]] went into opposition with [[William Pulteney, 1st Earl of Bath|William Pulteney]]. Sandys was seen as second-in-command to Pulteney, the leader of the [[Patriot Whigs]].<ref name=HOP/>

In February 1730 Sandys introduced the Pension Bill, to bar from sitting in the House of Commons anyone with any pensions or offices held in trust for them from the Crown. The bill passed through the House of Commons but was rejected by the House of Lords; he reintroduced the bill several times in subsequent sessions, with the same result. Sandys opposed the government's economic policy: in 1733 he opposed both the motion to take £500,000 from the [[sinking fund]] and the [[Excise Bill]] to tax tobacco and wine imports; in February 1736 he called attention to the increase of the national debt.<ref name=DNB/>

On 13 February 1741, Sandys moved a motion to call upon [[George II of Great Britain|King George II]] to dismiss Walpole. The [[Tories (British political party)|Tories]] did not support the motion, which was defeated by 290 votes to 106;<ref name=DNB/> the Tory Jacobite [[William Shippen (MP)|William Shippen]] commented of Walpole and the opposition Whigs that "Robin and I are two honest men: he is for King George and I for [[James Francis Edward Stuart|King James]], but those men in long cravats only desire places under either one or the other".<ref>{{cite DNB|wstitle=Shippen, William|last=Seccombe|first=Thomas|volume=52}}</ref>

==Chancellor of the Exchequer==
This impression that senior opposition Whigs were motivated by self-advancement rather than by opposition to the government gained substance when Walpole fell in February 1742. Pulteney (created Earl of Bath that year) brokered a deal with the Court, without consulting opposition parties. The new ministry led by [[Spencer Compton, 1st Earl of Wilmington|Lord Wilmington]] was a continuation of Walpole's ministry with few personnel changes, but with Sandys appointed [[Chancellor of the Exchequer]], and Sir John Rushout and [[Phillips Gybbon]] appointed Lords of the Treasury.<ref name=HOP/>

Pulteney and Sandys supported the appointment of a secret committee to investigate Walpole's conduct in office; Sandys was elected a member of the committee. They opposed the repeal of the [[Septennial Act 1716]], and objected to the rejection by the Lords of the Indemnification Bill to recompense witnesses against Walpole. In December 1742 Sandys opposed a Place Bill (to limit the capacity of parliamentarians to hold other paid positions, especially in the military), although he had proposed several such bills when in opposition.<ref name=DNB/><ref name=HOP/>

Wilmington died in July 1743, succeeded as First Lord of the Treasury by [[Henry Pelham]]. On 12 December 1743, Pelham took the Chancellorship himself.

==Later career==
Sandys was compensated with a peerage, being created [[Baron Sandys]] on 20 December 1743, and appointed as [[Cofferer of the Household]]. He later held office as Speaker of the House of Lords in the [[Pitt–Devonshire ministry]] (November 1756 – July 1757), and as [[President of the Board of Trade|First Lord of Trade]] under Lords [[Thomas Pelham-Holles, 1st Duke of Newcastle|Newcastle]] and [[John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute|Bute]] (March 1761 – February 1763).<ref name=HOP/>

Sandys died on 21 April 1770, from injuries sustained when his [[Chaise|post chaise]] overturned on [[Highgate|Highgate Hill]].<ref name=HOP/>

Samuel Sandys, 1st Baron Sandys PC (10 August 1695 – 21 April 1770) was an English Whig politician and peer who represented Worcester in the British House of Commons from 1718 until 1743 when he was created Baron Sandys. He held numerous posts in the government of the United Kingdom, namely Chancellor of the Exchequer, Leader of the House of Commons, Cofferer of the Household and First Lord of Trade. He was also a justice in eyre.[1]

Early life

[edit]

Sandys was the eldest son of Edwin Sandys MP (himself a descendant of Edwin Sandys, Archbishop of York), and his wife Alice, daughter of Sir James Rushout Bt MP.[2]

He was educated at New College, Oxford, matriculating in 1711 aged 16.[3] He left Oxford in 1715 without graduating, and embarked on a Grand Tour of Continental Europe.[4]

Opposition

[edit]

In 1718, at the age of 22, Sandys was elected MP for Worcester, as a Whig. He represented the seat for 25 years.

Initially a supporter of Robert Walpole's government, in 1725 Sandys and his uncle Sir John Rushout went into opposition with William Pulteney. Sandys was seen as second-in-command to Pulteney, the leader of the Patriot Whigs.[2]

In February 1730 Sandys introduced the Pension Bill, to bar from sitting in the House of Commons anyone with any pensions or offices held in trust for them from the Crown. The bill passed through the House of Commons but was rejected by the House of Lords; he reintroduced the bill several times in subsequent sessions, with the same result. Sandys opposed the government's economic policy: in 1733 he opposed both the motion to take £500,000 from the sinking fund and the Excise Bill to tax tobacco and wine imports; in February 1736 he called attention to the increase of the national debt.[1]

On 13 February 1741, Sandys moved a motion to call upon King George II to dismiss Walpole. The Tories did not support the motion, which was defeated by 290 votes to 106;[1] the Tory Jacobite William Shippen commented of Walpole and the opposition Whigs that "Robin and I are two honest men: he is for King George and I for King James, but those men in long cravats only desire places under either one or the other".[5]

Chancellor of the Exchequer

[edit]

This impression that senior opposition Whigs were motivated by self-advancement rather than by opposition to the government gained substance when Walpole fell in February 1742. Pulteney (created Earl of Bath that year) brokered a deal with the Court, without consulting opposition parties. The new ministry led by Lord Wilmington was a continuation of Walpole's ministry with few personnel changes, but with Sandys appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Sir John Rushout and Phillips Gybbon appointed Lords of the Treasury.[2]

Pulteney and Sandys supported the appointment of a secret committee to investigate Walpole's conduct in office; Sandys was elected a member of the committee. They opposed the repeal of the Septennial Act 1716, and objected to the rejection by the Lords of the Indemnification Bill to recompense witnesses against Walpole. In December 1742 Sandys opposed a Place Bill (to limit the capacity of parliamentarians to hold other paid positions, especially in the military), although he had proposed several such bills when in opposition.[1][2]

Wilmington died in July 1743, succeeded as First Lord of the Treasury by Henry Pelham. On 12 December 1743, Pelham took the Chancellorship himself.

Later career

[edit]

Sandys was compensated with a peerage, being created Baron Sandys on 20 December 1743, and appointed as Cofferer of the Household. He later held office as Speaker of the House of Lords in the Pitt–Devonshire ministry (November 1756 – July 1757), and as First Lord of Trade under Lords Newcastle and Bute (March 1761 – February 1763).[2]

Sandys died on 21 April 1770, from injuries sustained when his post chaise overturned on Highgate Hill.[2]

Family
