Henry Smith (attorney)
Henry Smith was a Bristol attorney-at-law and amateur artist who was forced to flee the country in 1809 after a duel in which he killed his opponent.[1] His travels around Scotland and later Spain and Portugal during the Peninsula War (where he served in the army under Wellington) were recorded in a diary (1809–1810) which is now kept at the University of Kansas.[2] He subsequently returned to the United Kingdom for trial but was discharged without one.
Early life[edit]
Henry Smith was born on 28 December 1774 at Queens Square Bristol, the son of Richard Smith, surgeon , and Augusta, the daughter of Rev. Alexander Stopford Catcott and sister of Rev Alexander Catcott.
