Bessborough, Earl of] He was first elected as a Member of Parliament at a bye-election for Kilkenny County in 1806 on his father, previously the sitting member, being elevated to the peerage as 1st Baron Ponsonby of Imokilly, but a general election quickly followed when he was replaced in this seat by his younger brother Hon. Frederick Ponsonby. ]He subsequently served as for Cork County from 1806 to 1812; for Youghal in County Cork from 1826 to to 1832; and was evidently also a member of the following Parliament.
