Biography

Meaburn Staniland (1809–1898) was a British Liberal Party politician.

Life

He was the son of James Staniland, educated at Lincoln Grammar School. He was a solicitor at Boston, Lincolnshire, senior partner in the firm Staniland & Wigglesworth.

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. An election petition led in 1866 to the result being overturned: his opponent Thomas Parry was unseated, and the seat awarded to Staniland.

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