Life and career

Born at Darlinghurst, New South Wales, to baker John Manning and Margaret Harrocks, he worked as a financier and had extensive business interests. Around 1867 he married Honorah Torpy in Sydney, with whom he had eight children. He was a Sydney City alderman from 1887 to 1900 and mayor from 1891 to 1894,[1] in which year he was knighted. From 1893 to 1894 he was a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly, representing South Sydney. Manning died at Rose Bay in 1915.[2]

His son Frederic Manning was a writer.

gollark: Anyone know about video file meddling? I want to upload a 10 hour loop of a 13 second video to YouTube, but just concatenating it 2770 times with `ffmpeg` produced a 3GB file before I ran out of /tmp space, so can I just edit the headers somehow to make stuff *play* it as if it's 10 hours?
gollark: It's a shame the only disc-playing things I have around are a DVD drive I might possibly maybe need eventually and an old CD player.

gollark: Not on arduinos according to a random result I duckduckgoed.
gollark: `int` is 2 bytes, so -32768 to 32767 works.
