From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thomas Houghton Bartley (1798 - 25 December 1878) was a New Zealand politician. As well as serving as Superintendent of Auckland Province, he served in the First New Zealand Parliament in 1854, representing the City of Auckland electorate. He acted as a member of James FitzGerald's "cabinet" for its duration (14 June 1854 to 2 August 1854).

Bartley resigned from the House of Representatives on 11 August 1854 to take up a position in the Legislative Council, where he served as Speaker from 12 May 1856 to 1 August 1868. His membership of the Legislative Council lapsed on 3 August 1874 due to non-attendance, and he died four years later. He is buried in Parnell, Auckland.
