He most notably served as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster in Lord Palmerston's 1855 to 1858 administration. Background and educationBorn at Leeds, Yorkshire, Baines was the eldest son of Edward Baines, a noted journalist and minor politician, by Charlotte, daughter of Matthew Talbot.[1] Sir Edward Baines was his younger brother. He was educated at Richmond School and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated in 1820.[2] Legal and political careerBaines was called to the bar in 1825 and established a successful legal practice. In 1837 Baines was appointed Recorder of Hull, and in 1841 he became a Queen's Counsel. Baines then turned to politics and was elected to parliament for Kingston-upon-Hull in 1847, a seat he held until 1852,[3] and subsequently represented Leeds until 1859.[4] Only two years after entering the House of Commons, he was appointed President of the Poor Law Board[5] in the Whig administration of Lord John Russell. In July 1849 he was also admitted to the Privy Council.[6] The Liberals fell from power in February 1852, but in December of the same year he was once again appointed President of the Poor Law Board,[7] this time in the coalition government headed by Lord Aberdeen. Baines remained as head of the Poor Law Board when Lord Palmerston's became Prime Minister in February 1855. In December 1855 he was made Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster[8] with a seat in the cabinet. He remained in this office until the Liberals lost power in 1858. Baines was also a Deputy Lieutenant of the West Riding of Yorkshire and of Lancashire.[1] He retired from public life in April 1859 on grounds of ill-health. Personal lifeIn 1833, Baines married the only daughter of Lazarus Threlfall.[1] He died in January 1860, at the age of 60.
