- Robert_French_(Irish_judge) abstract "Robert French (1690-29 May 1772) was an Irish judge of the Court of Common Pleas; he was notably unpopular and poorly thought of professionally. He was born in Liverpool but grew up in Dungar, now Frenchpark, County Roscommon. He was the second son of Colonel John French, nicknamed An Tiarna Mór (the Great Lord). His mother was Anne Gore, daughter of Sir Arthur Gore, 1st Baronet. While his father's wealth and connections no doubt helped his career, he owed as much to his mother's family, in particular his uncle George Gore.He attended a local school, matriculated at the University of Dublin in 1708, took his degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1715 and was made Doctor of Law in 1730. He entered Middle Temple in 1710 and was called to the Irish Bar in 1717. He sat in the Irish House of Commons as member for Jamestown, County Leitrim.In 1745 his uncle George announced that he would retire from the Court of Common Pleas (Ireland) on condition that French replace him. This put the Crown in an awkward position; Gore though not an especially good lawyer was very popular, whereas French was both a bad lawyer and most unpopular. However Gore was clearly unable to continue with his duties and the Crown reluctantly agreed to appoint French. French's conduct as a judge justified the official misgivings: an anonymous satire refers to "snarling, bridling, self-corroding French" and asked where his like for ignorance could be found.He retired in 1761 and died in 1772. His marriage to Frances, daughter of Sir Richard Hull, seems to have been childless. He was buried in St. Michan's Church, Dublin.".
