William Forbes Mackenzie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Forbes Mackenzie (18 April 1807–24 September 1860) was a minor Scottish Conservative politician in the mid-nineteenth century. He was one of Sir Robert Peel's junior Lords of the Treasury from April 26, 1845 until the end of the latter's second premiership, but apparently broke with him over the Corn Laws. Mackenzie again accepted minor office in 1852 when he served as Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury in Lord Derby's protectionist government. However, he lost his seat in 1852 over accusations of bribery.
