John King (Clitheroe, Lancashire 1759 - London, March 1830) Under Secretary of State at the Home Department 1792-1806

King was the fifth and youngest son of James King, perpetual curate of Clitheroe, Lancashire and later Dean of Raphoe in Ireland. His elder brothers were Dr Thomas King, Chancellor of Lincoln, Rector of Bladon, Oxfordshire and one time tutor to Edmund Burke's son, Richard. {{Captain James King}}, {{Dr Walker King, Bishop of Rochester}} and Edward King, Vice Chancellor of the County Palatine of Lancaster. He was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford, where he was a contemporary of William Pitt and William Grenville, the latter of whom was to be a lifelong friend and patron.. King was called to the bar on 9 June 1790 and began to develop his legal practice, which included (from January 1791) some part-time work for Grenville at the Home Office. In December 1791 he agreed to give up his legal work and was appointed one of the Permanent Under Secretaries of State at the Home Office.

The Home Office, 1792-1806± The remarkable military successes of the French revolutionary army during 1792, combined with a bad harvest, sparked a sudden rise in radical unrest. Then, in January 1793, the threat of a French invasion of the Netherlands led Pitt to declare war on France . The Home Office was under pressure to root out sedition, but its little band of clerks in makeshift offices were ill-equipped for the work. In any case, local government was in the hands of the aristocracy and gentry, who did not take kindly to government interference. King aimed at encouraging local magistrates to bring prosecutions, with information supplied by a small network of agents. It was on King's initiative that prosecutions were brought against the leaders of the Corresponding Society at the Old Bailey in October 1794. The prosecutions failed, mainly through the skilled defence mounted by Thomas Erskine, but the work continued to intensify with the passing of new acts designed to prevent sedition. It fell to King and the Home Office to ensure the enforcement of these acts. Discontent was driven underground and was becoming more radical, while the situation in Ireland was deteriorating. Much of King’s concern in the years immediately preceding the Irish Rebellion of 1798 was taken up with tracking down its leaders. In February 1798, James Quigley and Arthur O'Connor were arrested in Margate and brought to trial at Maidstone. King headed the list of witnesses against them. O'Connor was acquitted, but Quigley was found guilty and hanged. The failure of the rebellion resulted in many Irishmen fleeing to England where King was able to extract useful intelligence from them in exchange for pardons. By mid-1799 the underground movement was effectively broken and, with the coming of peace in 1802, the security services were quickly dismantled. The lack of such a service was one reason why Emmet's Dublin rising in July 1803 caught the government off guard.

Later Career & Family In 1800, King began a search for a seat in parliament but was not successful until William Grenville came in as head of the government in February 1806. King was appointed Chief Secretary at the Treasury, and was returned for Enniskillen. He was however unhappy in this new post and in June 1806 asked Grenville to release him. In October 1806 he left parliament and was appointed Comptroller of the Army Accounts. He continued in this post until his death, having been to the office on the day of his death in March 1806. On 9 April 1792, King married Harriot Margaret (d. 1841), only dau of Rt Rev Charles Moss, Bishop of Bath & Wells, and sister of Rt Rev William Moss, Bishop of Oxford, by whom he had four sons and nine daughters.

Hi Wrk1945! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Frederick Richard West that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. Schwede66 22:00, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
