- William_Weekes abstract "William Weekes (died October 11, 1806) was a lawyer and political figure in Upper Canada.He was born in Ireland and came to the United States, later settling at York (Toronto) in 1798. He campaigned on behalf of Henry Allcock in 1800 and apparently arranged to have the poll closed early while Allcock was in the lead; this led to his candidate losing his seat on appeal.In 1804, he was defeated by Angus Macdonell in the riding of Durham, Simcoe, and 1st York. In 1805, however, he was elected in a by-election as a result of the death of Macdonnell aboard the HMS Speedy. In 1806, in court, he referred to the recently deceased Lieutenant Governor Peter Hunter as a "gothic barbarian". After a dispute with William Dickson on this remark, Weekes challenged him to a duel. On October 10, Weekes was mortally wounded and died the next day.His friend, Robert Thorpe, was elected to his seat in a by-election.".
