About Richard Clayton
Richard Clayton (1702–1770) was an English-born politician and judge in eighteenth-century Ireland who held the office of Chief Justice of the Irish Common Pleas. His reputation was seriously damaged by the trial and execution of Father Nicholas Sheehy, which is acknowledged to have been a notable miscarriage of justice.
