Luke Fox (judge)

Luke Fox (judge)

Luke Fox was a judge of the Court of Common Pleas in Ireland in the early 19th century. In 1805, he was accused of judicial misconduct in his handling of cases. Three petitions were presented to the House of Lords alleging that he has allowed his political preferences to sway his judgments. He was charged with trying to persuade a grand jury for political reasons, fining a High Sheriff for tardiness and insulting a trial jury.

The Prime Minister urged the Lords to abandon the case against Fox, and he continued to serve for a further eleven years.
