Anthony Upton (judge) Anthony Upton (1656-1718) was an English-born judge, much of whose career was spent in Ireland. He was a close friend of the poet William King, who lived for a time at Mountown, Upton's country house outside Dublin. Upton was accused by his critics of neglecting his official duties, but he showed a notably enlightened attitude at the Carrickfergus witchcraft trials, where he urged the jury, without success, to acquit all the accused. He was removed from the Bench in 1714, on account of his politics, and returned to England, where for unknown reasons he committed suicide in 1718.
