John Talbot (judge)

John Talbot (judge)

The Honourable John Talbot (c. 1712-23 September 1756) was a British judge and Member of Parliament.

Talbot was the third son of Charles Talbot, 1st Baron Talbot, who served as Lord Chancellor from 1733 to 1737. Training as a lawyer, John entered Lincoln's Inn in 1734 and was called to the bar in 1737. Even before this, he had become both Recorder of Brecon and Member of Parliament for the borough, both in 1734; he remained Recorder until 1735 and MP until 1754. In 1740 he was appointed Puisne Justice of Chester, holding the post until his death.

In 1754, feeling that his position in Brecon was no longer secure, he persuaded the Prime Minister to find him a seat elsewhere, and was proposed instead for Ilchester; his election here cost £2,000, though half the cost was met from the government's secret service funds.

In December 1755, Talbot was made a junior Lord of Trade, but died the following year.
