Notes |
- Grandfather of Thomas Henry Lister, author of Granby
Lister was returned for Clitheroe on the death of his brother, to hold the seat during his nephew's minority. There is no record of his having spoken or voted during his twelve years in Parliament. He was classed as a Tory by Bute, December 1761; Rockingham, November 1766; and Newcastle, 2 Mar. 1767. Jenkinson in the autumn of 1763 described him as 'pro', and as an 'absent friend' over general warrants, 18 Feb. 1764. He appears in both Robinson's surveys on the royal marriage bill, March 1772, as 'doubtful, absent'. In March 1773 his nephew, Thomas Lister, came of age, and Lister immediately vacated his seat.
