John Selby Watson
The Reverend John Selby Watson (1804 – 6 July 1884)〔(Courtney WP. (revd Matthew HCG). "Watson, John Selby (bap. 1804, d. 1884)" in ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'' (Oxford University Press; 2004) )〕 was a British classical translator and murderer. He was sentenced to death in 1872 for killing his wife, but a public outcry led to his sentence being reduced to life imprisonment. The case is notable for Watson's use of a plea of insanity as his defence, bringing "the insanity defense into perhaps its greatest prominence since M'Naghten."〔(Wiener MJ. (1999) Judges v. Jurors: Courtroom Tensions in Murder Trials and the Law of Criminal Responsibility in Nineteenth-Century England. ''Law and History Review'' 17(3): 467 )〕
==Career==
Born in 1804 Watson was educated by an uncle and graduated from Trinity College, Dublin in 1838.〔Wilson and Pitman, p. 546.〕 He was ordained Deacon to the Bishop of Ely in 1839 and married Anne Armstrong in January 1845 at St.Marks, Dublin.〔Wilson and Pitman, p.546.〕 Due to his poverty Watson had been engaged to Anne for quite a number of years before they could marry.〔 He moved to London in 1844〔(Real Crime.co.uk )〕 where he became the headmaster of Stockwell Grammar School.〔〔(Stockwell Park )〕 Because of falling pupil numbers he was laid off in 1870.〔 But during his long career as headmaster, Watson had made a reputation for himself as a scholar and translator, publishing translations of the classics for Bohn's Classical Library that subsequently became volumes in the popular Everyman's Library series. He also wrote biographies, religious books, and a volume ''Reasoning Power in Animals''. Still with all his learning and activities he made a very small income. When the Board of the Stockwell School fired him, they refused to give him any pension.
