Frederick Peel

Sir Frederick Peel (October 26, 1823 – June 6, 1906), second son of Prime Minister Sir Robert Peel, was educated at Harrow and at Trinity College, Cambridge, becoming a barrister in 1849. He entered parliament in that year, and with the exception of the period between 1857 and 1859, he remained in the House of Commons until 1865. In 1851–1852 and again in 1853–1855 he was Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies; from 1855 to 1857 he was Under-Secretary of State for War; and from 1859 to 1865 he was Secretary to the Treasury. He became a Privy Counsellor in 1857 and was knighted in 1869. Sir Frederick Peel's chief service to the state was in connection with the Railway and Canal Commission. He was appointed a commissioner on the inception of this body in 1873, and was its president until its reconstruction in 1888, remaining a member of the commission until his death on June 6, 1906.
