Charles William White

Charles William White (9 September 1838 – 15 October 1890)[1] was an Irish Member of Parliament (MP) in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

He was elected as one of the two MPs for County Tipperary at a by-election in 1866 following the death of the sitting MP John Blake Dillon,[2] who had been one of the founding members of the Young Ireland movement. He was re-elected at the 1868 and 1874 general elections,[2] but resigned from Parliament on 6 February 1875 by the procedural device of appointment as Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds.[3]

He was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Clare in 1872 and held office until 1879.
