Admitted 22 December, 1746.

Son and heir of the Rev. C. Anstey, D.D., of Brinkley, Cambridgeshire. He was educated at Eton and King's College, Cambridge, where he was admitted Fellow and graduated 1746, but was prevented taking up his M.A. degree. In 1756, having succeeded to the family estates, he resigned his Fellowship, and devoted himself to the cultivation of letters and the duties of a country gentleman. In 1766, he published the work by which he is chiefly remembered, The New Bath Guide, a series of letters in verse, which obtained great popularity. He subsequently published The Patriot, a Pindaric Epistle, on Prize-fighting (1767); An Election Ball (1776), and other occasional verses, but these productions added little to his previous reputation. He died at Bath in 1805, and was buried in Walcot Church.

Early in his legal career he was appointed Professor of Law and Jurisprudence in the Roman Catholic College in Bath, having become a convert to Romanism. In 1845 he published the lectures he there delivered, and about the same time, A Guide to the Laws affecting Roman Catholics, and many pamphlets on Roman Catholic questions. He became a strong supporter of Daniel O'Connell, and was elected to Parliament for Youghal in 1847. In Parliament he signalized himself by intemperate attacks on the Government, notwithstanding which he was nominated Attorney-General of Hong Kong in 1854. There he got into dispute with the Governor, and was suspended in 1858. After this he proceeded to India and practised in Bombay, where with some intervals in England, he spent the rest of his life, and died on 12 Aug. 1873.

His political tracts and pamphlets are mostly forgotten, but his papers read before the Juridical Society on Blackstone's Theory of the Omnipotence of Parlia-
