William Alexander Mackinnon DL JP (1813 – 14 September 1903) was elected the Whig MP for Rye on 10 July 1852 but the result was declared void as a result of "treating". There was a question of £220 left behind a sofa cushion at the Red Lion to pay for a dinner.[1] At the resulting bye-election the seat was taken by his father. At the next election he was elected MP for Lymington which he held until 1868 but he never spoke in parliament.[2] He was the 34th Chief of the Clan Mackinnon.[3] He was educated at St John's College, Cambridge.[4]
