Sir Jonathan Frederick Pollock, 1783 – 28 August 1870) was a British lawyer and Tory politician.

Pollock was the son of saddler David Pollock, of Charing Cross, London, and the elder brother of Field Marshal Sir George Pollock, 1st

Baronet. The Pollock family were a branch of that family of Balgray,

Dumfriesshire; David Pollock's father was a burgess of Berwick-upon-Tweed, and

his grandfather a yeoman of Durham. His business as a saddler was given the

official custom of the royal family. Sir John Pollock, 4th

Baronet, great-great-grandson of David Pollock, stated in Time's

Chariot (1950) that David was, 'perhaps without knowing it', Pollock of

Balgray, the senior line of the family (Pollock of Pollock or Pollock of that

ilk) having died out.

Pollock

was educated at St Paul's School and Trinity College, Cambridge. He was Senior Wrangler at Cambridge University. He

is also thought to be one of the founding members of the Cambridge Union Society,

along with Henry Bickersteth and Sir Edward Hall Alderson,

both of Gonville and

Caius College. Pollock was Member of to 1844. He served as Attorney

General between 1834 and 1835 and 1841 and 1844 in Robert Peel.

In 1841 he was admitted to the Privy

Council and appointed Lord Chief Baron of the

Exchequer, a post he held until 1868. Having been knighted on 29 December 1834, Pollock was created a Baronet,

of Hatton in the County of Middlesex, on 2

August 1866.[5] Apart from his political and legal career

Pollock was elected a Fellow of the Royal

Society in 1816. He contributed a number of papers in

mathematics to the Royal Society, including

one on what is now known as the Pollock's conjecture. Pollock

died in August 1870, aged 86, and was succeeded in the baronetcy by his eldest

son, William. His fourth son, Charles Edward Pollock,

apprenticed to his father, had no university education. He became a law

reporter then co-serving Baron of the Court of

Exchequer, becoming the last in that appeal court. Two of Pollock's

grandsons became prominent lawyers: Sir Frederick Pollock, 3rd

Baronet (d.1937), was Professor of Jurisprudence at the University of Oxford; Ernest

Pollock, 1st Viscount Hanworth (d.1936), served as Master of the Rolls.
