John George (Solicitor General)

John George (Solicitor General)

John George (1804 - 15 December 1871) was an Irish politician and judge.

George, eldest son of John George of Dublin, merchant, by Emily Jane, daughter of Richard Fox, was born in the city of Dublin on 18 Nov. 1804, and received his education at Trinity College, Dublin. The university of Dublin conferred on him the degrees of B.A. 1823, and M.A. 1826, and in the latter year he was called to the bar at King's Inns. On 16 May 1827 he was also called to the bar at Gray's Inn, London. Having returned to Ireland, he was created a Queen's Counsel on 2 November 1844.

He became a bencher of King's Inns in 1849, and a member of the Irish privy council in 1866, and was appointed a judge of the court of queen's bench, Ireland, in the November of the latter year, a post which he held until his death. He was highly esteemed as patient and painstaking in the discharge of his duties, strictly impartial and independent in his judgments, and courteous and dignified in his demeanour on the bench. He died at 45 Fitzwilliam Square, Dublin, 15 December 1871, having married, first, in 1832, Susan Rosanna, daughter of Isaac Matthew D'Olier of Colleagues, County Dublin—she died in 1847; and secondly, 10 Aug. 1848, Mary, eldest daughter of Christopher L'Estrange Carleton.

He served as a Member of Parliament for County Wexford from 1852-7 and from May 1859-66. He served in government as Solicitor-General for Ireland under Lord Derby from February to July 1859.
