Charles Clarke (died 1750) was an English barrister, judge and politician. LifeThe son of Alured Clarke of Godmanchester in Huntingdonshire, by his second wife Ann, fourth daughter of the Rev. Charles Trimnell, rector of Ripton-Abbotts, and sister to Bishop Charles Trimnell, he was placed at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge in 1719 under his brother Alured Clarke, then a fellow of the college. Without taking a degree, he entered Lincoln's Inn in 1717, and was called to the bar in 1723.[1][2] Clarke built up a good practice as barrister, and rebuilt the family house at Godmanchester. In 1731 he was appointed recorder of Huntingdon, and in 1739 represented {{constlk|Huntingdonshire}} in parliament. In the new parliament of 1741 he was elected for {{constlk|Whitchurch}} in Hampshire, but in its second session in Hilary term, 1743, became a baron of the exchequer in place of Sir Thomas Abney. At this time he was counsel to the admiralty, and auditor of Greenwich Hospital, where he was succeeded by Heneage Legge.[1] On 17 May 1750 Clarke died of a fever. It was said to have been gaol distemper, caught at the Old Bailey, at the so-called "black sessions" that year. The outbreak caused the deaths of other legal figures, officials and jurymen, and was attributed to the number of prisoners and the crowd present at Captain Clark's trial for killing Captain Innes in a duel. He was buried at Godmanchester.[1][3] FamilyClarke married, first, Anne, daughter of Thomas Greene, bishop of Ely, by whom he had a son Thomas, a British Army general and secondly, Jane, daughter of Major Mullins of Winchester, by whom he had four sons including Sir Alured Clarke, lieutenant-governor of Quebec in 1792; and two daughters. His second wife survived him.[1] Notes1. ^1 2 3 {{cite DNB|wstitle=Clarke, Charles (d.1750)|volume=10}} Attribution{{DNB|wstitle=Clarke, Charles (d.1750)|volume=10}}{{s-start}}{{s-par|gb}}{{s-bef2. ^{{acad|id=CLRK719C|name=Clarke, Charles}} 3. ^{{cite DNB|wstitle=Abney, Thomas (d.1750)|volume=1}} | before = Lord Robert Montagu | before2 = Robert Pigott }}{{s-ttl | title = Member of Parliament for Huntingdonshire | years = 1739 – 1741 | with = Robert Pigott }}{{s-aft | after = William Mitchell | after2 = Coulson Fellowes }}{{s-bef | before = William Sloper | before2 = John Selwyn, junior }}{{s-ttl | title = Member of Parliament for Whitchurch | years = January 1743 – February 1743 | with = John Selwyn, junior }}{{s-aft | after = Thomas Wentworth | after2 = John Selwyn, junior }}{{s-end}}{{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Clarke, Charles}} 10 : Year of birth missing|1750 deaths|English barristers|English judges|Members of Lincoln's Inn|Alumni of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge|Members of the Parliament of Great Britain for English constituencies|British MPs 1734–41|British MPs 1741–47|People from Godmanchester |
