William Saurin
William Saurin (1757 – 11 January 1839) was an Irish barrister and politician. He was Attorney-General for Ireland from 1807 to 1822, and for much of that period he acted as the effective head of the Irish administration. He was unusual in a Law Officer in that he never became a judge, nor apparently ever wished to be one. As an Ulster Protestant, and determined opponent of Catholic Emancipation, he incurred the enmity of Daniel O'Connell, who called him "the mortal foe", and worked for his removal from office.〔Geoghegan, Patrick M. ''King Dan- the rise of Daniel O'Connell'' Gill and Macmillan Dublin 2008 p.191〕
==Family==
Saurin was born in Belfast, second of the four sons of the Reverend James Saurin, Vicar of Belfast (died 1774) and Jane Duff.〔Dunlop, Robert William Saurin ''Dictionary of National Biography 1885–1900'' Vo.50 p.333〕 James Saurin, Bishop of Dromore, was his younger brother.
The Saurins were of French Huguenot descent (Daniel O'Connell called William an "insolent transplanted Frenchman").〔Geoghegan p.129〕 Originally from Nimes, they left France after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. Even a century later, this episode, according to his friends, made a deep impression on William. Louis, the first of the family to settle in Ireland, {he was probably a brother of the celebrated preacher Jacques Saurin), was William's grandfather.〔Dunlop p.333〕
