King, Edward (b. Philadelphia, 31 Jan. 1794; d. Philadelphia, 8 May 1873), unconfirmed nominee to the Supreme Court. King studied law with Charles Chauncey and was admitted to the Pennsylvania bar in 1816. An active Democrat, he became clerk of the Philadelphia Orphans' Court in 1824 and in 1825 president judge of the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas.
On 5 June 1844 President John
Tyler appointed King to the Supreme Court to fill a vacancy on the Third Circuit. On 15 June 1844 the Senate postponed consideration of the nomination by a vote of 29 to 18. Tyler reappointed King on 4 Dec. 1844 and the Senate again postponed consideration on 23 Jan. 1845. Tyler withdrew King's nomination on 7 Feb. 1845 and appointed instead John M.
Read, also of Pennsylvania. Both the King and Read nominations failed as a result of Tyler's lack of support from either the Whig or Democratic party.
While president judge of the court of common pleas, King was noted for decisions supporting equity jurisdiction. He retired from the bench in 1852 and was appointed in the same year to a commission that revised the criminal code of Pennsylvania.
