 | | HUGHES, THOMAS (1882-1896), English lawyer and author, second son of John Hughes of Donnington Priory, editor of The Boscohel Tracts (1830), was born at Uffrngton, Berks, on the 20th of October 1822. |
 | | Hughes had been influenced mentally by Arnold, Carlyle, Thackeray, Lowell and Maurice, and had developed into a liberal churchman, extremely religious, with strong socialistic leanings; but the substratum was still and ever the manly country squire of old-fashioned, sport-loving England. |
 | | Hughes was an energetic supporter of the claims of the working classes, and introduced a trades union Bill which, however, only reached its second reading. |
