- Charles Stewart (Northern Ireland politician)
-
Charles Stewart QC was a barrister and independent politician in Northern Ireland.
Stewart was elected for the Queen's University of Belfast at the Northern Ireland general election, 1958.[1] Independent politician Eileen M. Hickey, known for her Irish nationalist sympathies, had chosen not to contest the election.[2] Although he stood as an independent, Stewart was also a supporter of Irish nationalism.[3]
Stewart retained his seat at the 1962 general election and was returned unopposed in 1965. He resigned in October 1966.[1]
Following his resignation, Stewart was active as a magistrate into the 1970s and had been appointed Chief Justice of the Cameroons.[4]
