Historia
John King was born in Lancashire in 1759. He was educated at Christ Church, Oxford and studied law at Lincoln's Inn and Gray's Inn, before being called to the bar in 1790. He became law clerk at the Home Office in 1791 and progressed to joint secretary to the Treasury by 1806. He also became MP for Enniskillen, co. Fermanagh, Ireland in 1806 but gave up the seat the same year, due to bad health. He then became comptroller of army accounts, a post he held until his death in 1830.
