George Smyth (lawyer)

George Smyth (1705 – 15 February 1772) was an Irish lawyer and judge.

He was the son of Thomas Smyth, Bishop of Limerick, and Dorothea Burgh (daughter of Ulysses Burgh, Dean of Emly and Mary Kingsmill). His brothers included Charles Smyth, MP for Limerick, and Arthur Smyth, Archbishop of Dublin.

He represented Blessington in the Irish House of Commons from 1759 until he was raised to the bench as a Puisne Baron of the Court of Exchequer (Ireland) on 25 November 1768. On 13 December 1771 he was appointed one of the Commissioners of Accounts for Ireland, but died two months later. He was also Recorder of Limerick.

George Smyth, Esquire, married on 4 August 1739 in St. Mary Parish, Dublin, County Dublin, Ireland to Catherine Rawson.[1] Thomas Smyth (Archdeacon of Lismore) was their son.
