Althorp, John Charles Spencer, Viscount, 3rd Earl Spencer (1782–1845). Althorp preferred the pleasures of private life to the tribulations of politics. Not an eloquent speaker, he won the confidence of the Commons by his honesty. In both the
Grey and
Melbourne administrations he was important as chancellor of the Exchequer. He welcomed the 1832 Reform Bill, was involved in drafting it, and prominent in securing its passage through Parliament, but in 1834 he could not support an Irish Coercion Bill and this contributed to Grey's decision to resign. Melbourne believed Althorp's presence in the Commons was essential and it was a great blow when Althorp succeeded his father as Earl Spencer in November 1834. The result was Melbourne's resignation. Althorp was happy to leave politics and immersed himself in farming and country sports.
