Edward Glover

Edward Auchmuty Glover ( – 17 March 1862) was an Irish Independent Conservative politician and barrister.

Although he contested the 1852 general election as an Independent Conservative, Glover was only elected an Independent Conservative MP for Beverley at the 1857 general election. His political views were, however, more complex, as between the two elections he had contested at several places, "professing any political creed that might happen to favour his success". Indeed, while he contested Canterbury as a Radical at a by-election in 1854, when he contested Beverley again in 1857, he stood as a Conservative despite losing the support of the local party. He then held the seat for just a few months.

In August 1857, Glover was unseated after an Election Petition Committee found that he did not meet the required property qualification–owning property worth £300 a year for a borough seat–at the time of his election, meaning he was not entitled to be elected an MP. However, he had previously declared he met the qualification requirements—these properties he had no interest in. The property qualification was later that year abolished.
