Biography

Cotter’s father, a senior partner in the Cork bank of Cotter and Kellet, sat in the Irish parliament for nearly 25 years. His political chief was Lord Shannon, and after he had supported the Union his patron pressed government to reward him. Lord Hardwicke, noting that he resided in England, suggested an inspectorship of Irish tontines. In 1807 the Cork bank failed, with liabilities of £420,000.1
