Jonas Greene

Sir Jonas Greene (1767-1828) was an Irish barrister and magistrate, who held the office of Recorder of Dublin.

He was born in Dublin, the eldest son of Richard Greene. He was called to the Bar, although few details of his legal practice seem to survive. In a letter he wrote to Dublin Castle in 1823 he claimed that his private practice had been extremely lucrative; in pleading for an increase in salary, he referred to the serious financial loss he had suffered in accepting an official position.
