John Peter Labouchere (1799–1863), banker and philanthropist, was born into an extended family of prominent bankers. He began as a partner in the firm of Hope & Company in Amsterdam under his father, Pierre César Labouchère, and in 1826 he was a partner when a struggling London bank was re-formed as Williams, Deacon, Labouchere & Company. Labouchere owned an estate in Surrey, England, and a town house in London. Active in charitable and religious societies, he was the first treasurer of London’s Hospital for Sick Children in Great Ormond Street from its opening in 1852 until his death. In 1820 Labouchere visited John Quincy Adams in Washington, D.C., James Madison at Montpellier, and TJ at Monticello. He died in London (Algar Labouchere Thorold, The Life of Henry Labouchere [1913], 2, 15; John Orbell and Alison Turton, British banking: A guide to historical records [2001], 539–40; Gordon Piller, “Great Ormond Street,” Three Banks Review 84 [1969]: 33–42; E.
