John Hall (Buckingham MP)

For other people named John Hall, see John Hall (disambiguation).

General John Hall (1799[1] – 5 May 1872[2]) was a British Conservative Party[3] politician. He was elected unopposed as one of the two Members of Parliament (MPs) for Buckingham at a by-election January 1846,[3] and was returned at the next three elections until he stood down from the House of Commons at the 1859 general election.[3]

He belonged to the Hall family of Weston Colville, Cambridgeshire, his father being John Hall (1767–1860).[4] In the 1860s, the family moved within the county to Six Mile Bottom, to an estate that passed to General John Hall's nephew on his death without issue.[5]

Hall entered the British Army in 1817, becoming a lieutenant-colonel in the 1st Life Guards in 1837, and major-general in 1855.[1]
