Meaburn Staniland

Meaburn Staniland (1809 1898)[1] was a British Liberal Party politician.

He was elected as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Boston at the 1859 general election, but was narrowly defeated at the 1865 general election.[2] An election petition led in 1866 to the result being overturned: his opponent Thomas Parry was unseated, and the seat awarded to Staniland.[2]

Staniland resigned from House of Commons on 8 March 1867 by becoming Steward of the Manor of Northstead.[3]
