Anthony Upton (judge) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Anthony Upton (judge) Anthony Upton (1656-1718) was an English-born judge, much of whose career was spent in Ireland. He was a close friend of the poet William King who spent much of his time at Upton's country house, Mountown. Upton was accused by his critics of neglecting his official duties, but he showed a notably enlightened attitude at the Carrickfergus witchcraft trials, where he urged the jury to acquit all the accused. He was removed from the Bench in 1714, and returned to England, where he committed suicide in 1718.〔Ball, F. Elrington ''The Judges in Ireland 1221-1921'' John Murray London 1926 Vol. 2 p.87〕 ==Early life==
He was born at Monken Hadley in Middlesex, son of John Upton, a merchant, and Jane Lytcott, daughter of Sir John Lytcott of Molesey. He was educated at Oxford, first at Trinity College and then at All Souls College, from which he graduated in 1674. He entered Lincoln's Inn and was called to the Bar in 1683.〔Ball p.67〕
