G. D'Arcy Boulton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page is about a Canadian political figure. For other people with this name, see D’Arcy Boulton.

D’Arcy Boulton (May 20, 1759-May 21, 1834) was a lawyer, judge and political figure in Upper Canada.

He was born George D'Arcy Boulton in Moulton, Lincolnshire, England in 1759. He studied law at the Middle Temple. After his business in England failed in 1793, he came to the Hudson River valley of New York in 1797. Boulton later moved to Augusta Township in Upper Canada around 1802. In 1803, he was admitted to the bar. In 1804, he assumed the position of Solicitor General after the death of Robert Isaac Dey Gray on the HMS Speedy; he was also elected to Gray's former seat in the 4th Parliament of Upper Canada in a by-election. In 1807, he became a judge for the Court of King's Bench.

In 1810, while sailing to England, he was taken prisoner by a French privateer; he was released in 1813. He was admitted to the English bar in the same year and secured the post of attorney general in December 1814.

Boulton and his family were considered to be part of the Family Compact, a clique of Upper Canada's elite who held great power in the province.

He died in York (Toronto) in 1834 at The Grange, built by his son, D'Arcy Boulton Jr.
