Michael D. Hassard
Michael Dobbyn Hassard (1817 – 7 April 1869)[1] was an Irish Conservative Party politician from County Waterford.
Hassard was educated at Trinity College Dublin, where graduated with a gold medal (the university's award for an outstanding student), and became a lawyer.[2] In 1846 he married his cousin Anne Hassard, the daughter of Sir Francis John Hassard.[3] They lived at Glenville, County Waterford,[4] and had 2 sons: William and Richard.[3]
He was elected at the 1857 general election as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Waterford City,[5][6] and was re-elected in 1859.[4][6] In each session, he acted as Chair of Committees.[2]
He stood down from the House of Commons at the 1865 general election, and became a member of the House of Commons Court of Referees,[2] which considers whether a petitioner is entitled to make a challenge against a Private Bill.
Hassard died aged 51 on 7 April 1869, at his home in Glenville, after being ill with a fever for three weeks.[2]
