John Knatchbull (Royal Navy captain)
John Knatchbull (c. 1791 – 13 February 1844) was a naval captain and convict found guilty of murder in 1844. He was one of the earliest to raise in a British court the plea of moral insanity (unsuccessfully).
== Biography ==
Knatchbull was born in Mersham, Kent, England, probably the son of Sir Edward Knatchbull 8th Baronet of Mersham Hatch.
He attended Winchester College and volunteered for the navy in 1804 serving until 1818 and rising to the rank of a captain. He served in the ''Ardent'', ''Revenge'', ''Zealand'', ''Sybille'', ''Téméraire'', ''Leonidas'', ''Cumberland'', ''Ocean'' and ''Ajax''. In November 1810 he passed his lieutenant's examination, served in ''Sheerwater'' until August 1812 when he was invalided home, and then in ''Benbow'' and ''Queen''. In December 1813 he was commissioned to command ''Doterell'', but missed the ship and was reappointed in September 1814. After the Battle of Waterloo in June 1815, the navy was reduced and Knatchbull retired on full pay until March 1818, when his pay was stopped by the Admiralty because of a debt he had incurred in the Azores.〔
