Some Famous People called John Sawbridge
John Sawbridge
John Sawbridge (1732 – 21 February 1795) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1768 to 1780. Sawbridge was the eldest son of John Sawbridge, FRS of Olantigh and his wife Elizabeth Wanley, daughter of George Wanley.
Sawbridge was elected as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Hythe at the 1768 general election, and held the seat until 1774. He exerted himself in the House of Commons on behalf of John Wilkes, who had been declared incapable of sitting for Middlesex. With John Horne Tooke, James Townsend, Richard Oliver, and others, he helped to form the Supporters of the Bill of Rights. In local politics Sawbridge, who was a liveryman of the Framework Knitters' Company, was elected, with Townsend, as sheriff of London in summer 1768, and in the following year (1 July) he was elected alderman for the ward of Langbourn. During his shrievalty he five times returned Wilkes as duly elected for Middlesex, in defiance of the house, and was threatened with a bill of pains and penalties from the government. In August 1771 Junius, in secret correspondence with Wilkes, urged him to procure Sawbridge's election as lord mayor; but Brass Crosby was reported to want re-election, and Wilkes, who had by the quarrelled with Sawbridge, refused to desert Crosby. At the election the show of hands was declared in favour of Sawbridge and Crosby, but a poll was demanded for four other candidates, Bankes, Nash, Hallifax, and Townsend. In spite of Junius's appeals, the livery returned Nash and Sawbridge to the court of aldermen. The former, the ministerial candidate, was elected Lord Mayor.
At the 1774 general election Sawbridge contested two seats: he was defeated in Hythe, but was elected as one of the 4 MPs for the City of London. He was defeated in London at the general election in September 1780, but one of his successors, John Kirkman, who died on the day when the polls closed and had been returned posthumously. Sawbridge was returned without a contest at the resulting by-election in November 1780, and was re-elected in 1784and 1790, holding the seat until his death on 21 February 1795, aged 62. However, he was less active in the parliament of 1790 and was paralysed in the last three years of his life
He was a Sheriff of London in 1770 and elected Lord Mayor of London in 1775 in succession to John Wilkes.
