He is noted for his opposition to the Party Emblems Act and Party Processions Act, which banned Orange marches . LifeJohnston was the eldest son of John Brett Johnston of Ballykilbeg, co. Down, and his wife Thomasina Anne Brunette Scott, daughter of Thomas Scott. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin being awarded B.A. in 1852 and M.A. in 1856.[1] He wrote ultra-Protestant Tracts and fiercely Unionist novels during the decade and published a newspaper called The Downshire Protestant from 1855 to 1862. In 1857 he stood unsuccessfully for parliament at Downpatrick.[1] In 1867, Johnston organised an Orange Order parade from Bangor to Newtownards in County Down despite the Party Procession Acts. The parade took part on 12 July 1867 and about 30,000 took part. Johnston was sentenced to a short term in prison the next year for his actions.[2] He was elected as Member of Parliament for Belfast in 1868 and held the seat until 1878. He was called to the Bar at King's Inns Dublin in 1872.[1] Johnston was also a prominent early supporter of the campaign for female suffrage and other social reforms.[3] Johnston was Inspector of Fisheries in Ireland from 1878 to 1885, when he was dismissed for a speech in the General Synod of the Church of Ireland.[6] Following his dismissal, he was elected an independent MP for Belfast South later the same year. He won the seat by a large majority in the 1886 general election, and was re-elected unopposed in the next three elections, serving until his death.[6] He died at Ballykilbeg on 17 July 1902.[4] FamilyJohnston married firstly in 1853, Harriet Allen daughter of Robert Allen of Kilkenny. He married secondly in 1861 Arminella Frances Drew, daughter of the Rev. Thomas Drew, D.D. He married thirdly in 1863, Georgiana Barbara Hay, daughter of Sir John Hay, 5th baronet. She died in 1900.[1] He was the father of Charles Johnston (1867–1931). Publications
