Notice biographique

John Martin (8 September 1812 – 29 March 1875) was an Irish nationalist activist. He was born into a landed Presbyterian family, the son of Samuel and Jane (née Harshaw) Martin, in Newry, County Down. He received an Arts degree at Trinity College, Dublin in 1832 and proceeded to study medicine. He published the anti-British journal, "The Irish Felon", and established "The Felon Club". This led to a warrant for his arrest, and he turned himself in on 8 July 1848. Martin was sentenced on 18 August 1848 to 10 years transportation to Van Diemen's Land.
