John Williams (1777–1846)
John Williams (10 February 1777 – 15 September 1846) was an English Whig politician, lawyer and judge.[1]
John Williams was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge.[2] He was elected as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Lincoln at a by-election in March 1822,[3][4] and held the seat until the 1826 general election, when he was returned on 9 June for Ilchester.[5] However, that result was overturned on 22 February 1827 after an election petition,[6] and Williams did not return to the House of Commons until February 1830, when he was returned for Winchelsea at a by-election.[7] He held that seat until the borough was disenfranchised at the 1832 general election.[8]
