Antoine Pierre Berryer

In the great conflict of the period between Napoleon I and the Bourbons, Berryer, like his father, was an ardent Legitimist; and in the spring of 1815, at the opening of the campaign of the Hundred Days, he followed Louis XVIII of France to Ghent as a volunteer.

A visit paid by this famous orator to Henry Brougham, 1st Baron Brougham and Vaux in 1865 was made the occasion of a banquet given in his honour by the benchers of the Temple and of Lincoln's Inn.

He assisted his father and Dupin in the unsuccessful defence of Marshal Ney before the chamber of peers; and he undertook alone the defence of General Cambronne and General Debelle, procuring the acquittal of the former and the pardon of the latter.
