Biographical Note
Son of Thomas Jocelyn of Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire. He was apprenticed to an attorney named Salkeld before being admitted to Gray's Inn in 1709. He became a barrister in Ireland in 1719 and an Irish MP in 1725. He was appointed solicitor-general for Ireland in 1727 and Lord Chancellor of Ireland in 1739. He became Baron Newport (in the peerage of Ireland) in 1743, and Viscount Jocelyn in 1755.
