Biography
Courtenay was defeated at Honiton in 1747 and returned after a contest in 1754. He was invariably counted as a Tory. In Bute’s list of December 1761 he is classed ‘Tory—Bute’. But he does not appear in Fox’s list of Members favourable to the peace preliminaries, December 1762, which must not, however, be taken to suggest that he was against them.
He died 30 Apr. 1763.
